Metabolites of the plasticizer di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in urine samples of workers in polyvinylchloride processing industries

Summary Little is known about occupational exposure to the plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (CAS number 117-81-7), a compound widely used in polyvinylchloride (PVC) plastics. We have studied the uptake of DEHP in workers by determining the concentrations of four metabolites of DEHP in urine samples, i.e., mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP), mono (5-carboxy-2-ethylpentyl)phthalate, mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl)phthalate, and mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl)phthalate. In addition DEHP concentrations in the air were determined by personal air sampling. Nine workers in a PVC boot factory exposed to a maximum of 1.2 mg/m³ DEHP showed an increase in the urinary concentrations of all four metabolites over the workshift. These results were obtained on both the first and the last day of the workweek. With the exception of MEHP, the increases in the concentrations of the metabolites during a workday were statistically significant. Six workers from a PVC cable factory exposed to a maximum of 1.2 mg/m³ DEHP showed a one-to fourfold increase in the concentrations of the four metabolites over the workshift, but these increases were not statistically significant. These results indicate that measurement of DEHP metabolites in urine samples may be of use for monitoring the occupational exposure to DEHP.

Species and inter-individual differences in metabolic capacity of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) between human and mouse livers

Objectives

This study was conducted to assess inter-species and inter-individual differences in the metabolism of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) in humans and mice.

Methods

The activities of four DEHP-metabolizing enzymes [lipase, UDP-glucuronocyltransferase (UGT), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)] were measured in the livers of 38 human subjects of various ages and in eight 129/Sv male mice.

Results

Microsomal lipase activity was significantly lower in humans than in mice. The V _max/K _m value in humans was one-seventh of that in mice, microsomal UGT activity in humans was a sixth of that in mice, and cytosolic ALDH activity for 2-ethylhexanal in humans was one-half of that in mice. In contrast, ADH activity for 2-ethylhexanol was twofold higher in humans than in mice. The total amount of DEHP urinary metabolites and the concentration of mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP) were much higher in intact mice than in the U.S. general population based on data reported elsewhere, regardless of the similar estimated DEHP intake between these mice and the human reference population. However, mono(2-ethyl-5-oxo-hexyl)phthalate (5oxo-MEHP) and mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl)phthalate (5cx-MEPP) levels were higher in the latter than in the former. Of note, inter-subject variability in the activities of all enzymes measured was 10–26-fold.

Conclusion

The inter-individual variation in the metabolism of DEHP in humans may be greater than the difference between mice and humans (inter-species variation), and both may affects the risk assessment of DEHP.

Internal exposure of nursery-school children and their parents and teachers to di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP)

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is the main plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. It has become widely spread in our environment and among people. DEHP is suspected to be responsible for endocrine-disruptor-like effects in mankind. Children are probably most susceptible to these endocrine effects. In this study we determined the internal exposure of nursery school children (aged 2-6 years) to DEHP and compared it to their parents' and teachers' exposure. The DEHP-metabolites mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl)phthalate (5OH-MEHP), mono(2-ethyl-5-oxo-hexyl)phthalate (5oxo-MEHP) and mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP) were determined in first morning urine. The sum of the three DEHP metabolites in children's and in adults' urine was 90.0 and 59.1 micrograms/l respectively (median values; p = 0.074). Concentrations of the secondary metabolites 5OH-MEHP (median: 49.6 vs. 32.1 micrograms/l; p = 0.038) and 5oxo-MEHP (median: 33.8 vs. 19.6 micrograms/l; p = 0.015) were significantly higher in children than in adults. MEHP concentrations were low both in adults and children (median: 6.6 micrograms/l vs. 9.0 micrograms/l). Creatinine adjusted values should more accurately reflect the dose taken up with respect to body weight when comparing children with adults. Total creatinine adjusted DEHP metabolites in urine were significantly higher in children than in adults (median values: 98.8 vs. 50.9 micrograms/g creatinine; p < 0.0001). This also applied to the concentrations of both secondary metabolites 5OH-MEHP (55.8 vs. 28.1 micrograms/g creatinine; p < 0.0001) and 5oxo-MEHP (38.3 vs. 17.2 micrograms/g creatinine; p < 0.0001). Creatinine corrected concentrations for the monoester MEHP in children and adults were very similar (8.7 vs. 8.6 micrograms/g creatinine; p = 0.908). Based on the sum of the three determined metabolites we estimated the DEHP dose (in microgram/kg body-weight) taken up by children to be about twice as high as the dose taken up by adults. Routes of the ubiquitous exposure to DEHP remain indistinct. In children's urine the mean relative ratios of MEHP to 5OH-MEHP to 5oxo-MEHP were 1 to 7.1 to 4.9, in adults they were 1 to 3.4 to 2.1. This might indicate an enhanced oxidative metabolism in children. To date no information on the biological activity and toxicity of oxidative metabolites of DEHP is available. Since these are the major metabolites of DEHP toxicological data on these metabolites is urgently needed.

Prenatal maternal blood triglyceride and fatty acid levels in relation to exposure to di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate: a cross-sectional study

Objectives

The hypolipidemic effects of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) exposure in humans have not been investigated. And the influences of maternal prenatal DEHP exposure on birth outcomes are not well-known. We aimed to estimate prenatal DEHP exposure in maternal blood, and evaluate its relationships to maternal blood triglyceride (TG) and fatty acid (FA) levels and to birth outcomes.

Methods

We studied 318 mother–newborn pairs residing in Sapporo, Japan. Blood was taken one time during pregnancy for each mother. Maternal and infant characteristics were obtained from medical records and questionnaire survey. We measured DEHP metabolite, mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), along with TG and 9 FAs using maternal blood, and analyzed associations of MEHP level with maternal blood TG/FA levels and infant birth dimensions.

Results

Maternal blood TG and palmitoleic/oleic acid levels were higher, but stearic/docosahexaenoic acids and MEHP were lower during late pregnancy. Maternal blood MEHP levels inversely correlated with TG and palmitic/palmitoleic/oleic/linoleic/α-linolenic acids. After adjustment for confounders, we found that a tenfold increase in blood MEHP levels correlated with a decrease in TG of 25.1 mg/dl [95 % confidence interval (CI) 4.8–45.3 mg/dl], and similar relations in palmitic (β = −581.8; 95 % CI −906.5, −257.0), oleic (β = −304.2; 95 % CI −518.0, −90.5), linoleic (β = −348.6; 95 % CI −510.6, −186.6), and α-linolenic (β = −6.3; 95 % CI −9.5, −3.0) acids. However, we observed no correlations between maternal blood MEHP levels and infant birth weight, length, chest circumference, or head circumference.

Conclusions

Ambient DEHP exposure during pregnancy inversely correlated with maternal blood TG and 4 FA levels, but not birth outcomes.     

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) exposure of voluntary plasma and platelet donors

Each year thousands of healthy volunteers undergo apheresis procedures to donate blood components and safe lives. However, many disposables used in apheresis contain di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). This way, donors are exposed to DEHP, which is a reproductive and developmental toxicant in animals and a suspected endocrine modulator in humans. We quantified the DEHP exposure of six plasma donors, six discontinuous-flow platelet donors and six continuous-flow platelet donors by determining three specific metabolites in urine (5OH-MEHP: mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl)phthalate; 5oxo-MEHP: mono(2-ethyl-5-oxo-hexyl)phthalate and MEHP: mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate). We found maximum concentrations in urine samples after the discontinuous-flow plateletpheresis procedure with 826 microg/l for 5OH-MEHP, 774 microg/l for 5oxo-MEHP and 266 microg/l for MEHP (mean of the six volunteers). Metabolite excretions were found to be significantly (p<0.0001) higher for both plateletpheresis techniques compared to plasmapheresis and controls. Continuous-flow plateletpheresis led to significantly higher (p<0.0001) excretions than discontinuous-flow plateletpheresis. Mean absolute DEHP exposures were 1.2 mg for discontinuous- and 2.1 mg for continuous-flow plateletpheresis. Exposure for plasmapheresis (0.37 mg) was in the range of the controls (0.41 mg). Mean DEHP doses for both plateletpheresis techniques (18.1 and 32.3 microg/kg/day) were close to or exceeded the reference dose (RfD) of the US EPA and tolerable daily intake (TDI) value of the EU on the day of the apheresis. Therefore, margins of safety might be insufficient to protect especially young men and women in their reproductive age from effects on reproductivity. At present, discontinuous-flow devices should be preferred to avert conceivable health risks from plateletpheresis donors. Strategies to avoid DEHP exposure of donors during apheresis need to be developed.

No immunotoxic effect on T cells with di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in male C57BL/6 mice

Objectives To clarify whether di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has immunotoxic effects on both the expression of surface molecules (CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD28) on T cells of the thymus and spleen in male C57BL/6 mice. Methods Animals were orally administered a 0.1% or 0.2% DEHP-containing diet for 10 or 20 days. Dietary corn oil was used as the vehicle for DEHP in preparing the diet. Results Significant hepatic hypertrophy was clearly observed in the DEHP-exposed groups, while no atrophy was seen in the thymus or spleen in any treatment groups. In the thymus and spleen, no variation in the proportions of both T cells expressing CD3, CD4 and CD8 was shown with cytometry analysis. The surface expression of CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD28 on both T cells was also invariable in all analyzed stages of thymic differentiation and in the spleen. No effect of DEHP on mitogenesis was shown in the splenic T cells with anin vitro [³H]-thymidine-incorporation technique. Conclusions DEHP is probably not an immunosuppressor, particularly for T cells.

[目的]了解不同烹调油样品中邻苯二甲酸二丁酯（di-n—butyl phthalate,DBP）与邻苯二甲酸二（2-乙基己基）酯[di（2-ethylhexyl）phthalate,DEHP]的污染情况。[方法]采用气相色谱-质谱联用仪的选择离子检测（SIR）方式,测定取自居民家中未加热食用油、烹调剩油和厨房抽油烟机内油盒中的烹调油烟冷凝物,食堂中未加热食用油、烹调剩油和烹调油烟冷凝物;小摊贩所用的未加热食用油及其锅内剩油;快餐店未加热过的固体起酥油及烹调剩油等样品中DBP与DEHP的含量。[结果]9户居民家庭厨房和食堂不同烹调油样品中DBP和DEHP均为阳性,且烹调油烟冷凝物中的含量明显高于未加热食用油和烹调剩油中的含量;DBP和DEHP含量：前者分别为2．29～597．01μg／g和38．96～4774．72μg／g;后者分别为3．22～42．81μg／g和15．61～112．64μg／g。小摊贩和快餐店不同烹调油样品中,仅1例炸面食剩油检出DBP和DEHP。[结论]大部分烹调油样品被DBP、DEHP污染,且烹调油烟冷凝物中的含量大大增加。
