DETERMINATION OF DIBUTYL PHTHALATE (DBP), BENZYL BUTYL PHTHALATE (BBP) AND BIS (2-ETHYLHEXYL) PHTHALATE (DEHP) IN SOFT PLASTIC TOYS AND THE FIRST SURVEY OF THE BULGARIAN MARKET

Phthalates are a large group of compounds with similar chemical structure widely used as plasticizers for plastics. They can easily be released from the polymer during usage and in this way enter the human body. Their adverse effect on health is known as "phthalate syndrome" and can impact...
