Lots of ramifications for food, medical & consumer products.
Excerpt:
"The most dramatic difference showed up in the blood concentrations of
di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), the most widely used phthalate. In the
five normal girls whose blood contained DEHP, its concentration averaged 70
parts per billion; among the girls with premature breast development and
detectable DEHP, the concentration averaged 450 ppb."
