Children's exposure to phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers in the home: The TESIE study.

CONCLUSIONS: This paper summarizes one of the most comprehensive phthalate and non-phthalate plasticizer investigation of potential residential exposure sources conducted in North America to date. The data presented herein provide evidence that dermal contact and hand-to-mouth behaviors are important sources of exposure to phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers. In addition, the percentage of vinyl flooring is an important consideration when examining residential exposures to these compounds. PMID: 31400598 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
