These compounds have a number of uses, the principal ones under consideration being related to the plastici- zing of polymerized vinyl chloride (PVC). The spectrum of uses of this material en- compasses those with minimal potential for phthalate exposure (floor tiles, cable insula- tion); those with potential for cutaneous exposure (baby pants, boots); those with potential for internal exposure (food wraps and blood bags); those in which respiratory exposure may be significant (occupational or general atmospheric exposures).
