title: Extractable substances from plastic materials used in solution contact applications: an updated review.
abstract: This is an updated review related to the identification and/or accumulation of organic and inorganic extractable substances from di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)-plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyolefin, and various other plastic materials. The review considers the identification of such extractables, their reported levels in material extracts, and the strategic issues associated with investigations of extractables/leachables.
