Abstract

Background and purpose

The content of phthalates in toys and other articles for children up to 3 years of age is regulated by the Statutory Order of Danish Ministry of Environment and Energy, No. 151 of 15th March 1999. In the present investigation, 20 products (toys and other articles for children up to 3 years of age) were analysed for the content of phthalates on the request of Danish Environmental Protection Agency (DEPA). The products received from DEPA were analysed for the contents of dimethyl-, diethyl-, dibutyl-, butylbenzyl-, dicyclohexyl-, diethylhexyl-, dinoctyl-, dinnonyl-, diisononyl- and diisodecyl phthalate. The subsamples of the products were soxhlet extracted in dichloromethane, followed by analysis of the extracts by gas chromatography. The content of one or more phthalates in 8 of the investigated products was found to be higher than the maximum allowed concentration, 0.05%.
