Wildlife Toxicity Assessment for Diethyl Phthalate

Abstract

Diethyl Phthalate or DEP is used as a component in insecticide and mosquito repellents, solvents, adhesives, waxes, inks, and as a camphor substitute. DEP is also used as a plasticizer in solid rocket propellants. This Wildlife Toxicity Assessment (WTA) summarizes current knowledge of the toxicological impacts of DEP on wildlife. Evaluating the toxicity of DEP 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).
