Wildlife Toxicity Assessment for Diethyl Phthalate (DMP)

Abstract

Dimethyl phthalate (DMP or 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester), is a component of many commercial products such as paints, adhesives, personal care products, insect repellents, and non-energetic plasticizers for military applications. This wildlife Toxicity Assessment (WTA) summarizes current knowledge of the toxicological impacts of DMP on wildlife. Evaluating the toxicity of DMP will contribute to the derivation of toxicity reference values (TRVs) for use as screening-level benchmarks for wildlife near contaminated sites. The protocol for the performance of this WTA is available in detail in Technical Guide No. 254 (Standard Practice for Wildlife Toxicity Reference Values).
