Effects of Particle Size and Solvent Chemicals on the Extractions
of Phthalate from Polyvinyl Chloride.
Phthalate
plasticizers are di-esters of phthalic acid and long chain alcohols
and are vegetable oil-like liquids. This study focuses on the
effects of three different particle sizes on extraction of phthalates
from randomly selected infant chew toy product formulations because
of recent concerns regarding implications of chemical leaching
and health effects of phthalates on infants.
