TLDR
Exposure to HMW phthalates in this cohort appears to be driven by dietary intake, while non-dietary routes such as use of personal care products and ubiquitous sources including dust and indoor air appear to explain exposure to LMWphthalates.About:

Temporal trends in phthalate exposures: findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2001-2010.
TL;DR: Exposure of the U.S. population to phthalates has changed in the last decade and data gaps make it difficult to explain trends, but legislative activity and advocacy campaigns by nongovernmental organizations may play a role in changing trends.

Phthalates impact human health: Epidemiological evidences and plausible mechanism of action.

TL;DR: This clinically focused comprehensive review on the hazards of phthalates would benefit the general population, academia, scientists, clinicians, environmentalists, and law or policy makers to decide upon whether usage ofphthalates to be continued swiftly without sufficient deceleration or regulated by law or to be phased out from earth forever.

Phthalates and diet: a review of the food monitoring and epidemiology data
Samantha E. Serrano,Joseph M. Braun,Leonardo Trasande,Russell L. Dills,Sheela Sathyanarayana,Sheela Sathyanarayana +5 more
TL;DR: The review of the literature demonstrated that DEHP in some meats, fats and dairy products is consistently found in high concentrations and can contribute to exposure, and guidance on future research in this area is provided that may help to identify methods to reduce dietary phthalate exposures.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge on the toxicity that phthalates pose in humans based on human biomonitoring studies conducted over the last decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure assessment issues in epidemiology studies of phthalates.
TL;DR: The measurement of urinary metabolite concentrations in urine could serve as a valuable approach to estimating exposure to phthalates in environmental epidemiology studies, and careful consideration of the strengths and limitations of this approach when interpreting study results is required.

Estimation of Average Concentration in the Presence of Nondetectable Values
TL;DR: In this article, the average concentration of a particular contaminant during some period of time, a certain proportion of the collected samples is often reported to be below the limit of detection.
Journal ArticleDOI
What are the sources of exposure to eight frequently used phthalic acid esters in Europeans
TL;DR: The scenario‐based approach chosen in the present study provides a link between the knowledge on emission sources of phthalates and the concentrations ofphthalate metabolites found in human urine, which demonstrates that exposure of infant and adult consumers is caused by different sources in many cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing exposure to phthalates - the human biomonitoring approach.
TL;DR: An overview of the sources of human phthalate exposure and results of exposure assessments with special focus on human biomonitoring data is presented, and recent findings from animal studies suggest that a cumulative risk assessment for phthalates is warranted.

Interpretation of urine results used to assess chemical exposure with emphasis on creatinine adjustments: a review
TL;DR: This literature review leads to three conclusions: CRE excretion is subject to wide fluctuations due to specific internal and external factors, and the use of CRE to correct chemical concentrations in urine will not necessarily improve the correlation to the exposure dose for all chemicals.
