Health Factors
Potential symptoms: No clinical reports of symptoms were found
Health Effects: Unknown in humans (no studies found). In animals given high oral doses: liver tumors, kidney lesions and tumors (male rats only); effects on fetal development (rats).
Affected organs: In rodents: liver, kidneys
Notes:
- OSHA does not have a PEL for diisononyl phthalate (DINP).
- The major metabolites of DINP found in the urine of people with no known occupational exposure to DINP are mono-(hydroxyisononyl) phthalate and mono-(carboxyisooctyl) phthalate.
- Another major urinary metabolite of DINP identified in a volunteer given [2H]-labeled DINP (1.27 mg/kg, oral) was mono-(oxo-isononyl) phthalate. The elimination half-lives were estimated to be approximately 12 hours for the hydroxy and oxo metabolites and about 18 hours for the carboxy metabolite.
- Adverse effects on liver and kidneys in rodents do not occur in monkeys and are thought to not pose a health hazard for these organs in humans.
