Evaluation of the health risk to animals playing with phthalate containing toys

Appendix

Appendix 1

Exposure estimations of DEHP and DINP based on the assumption that 10% of the phthalate present in the product migrate

Appendix 1

Appendix 2

Exposure estimations of DEHP and DINP based on measured migration rates

Appendix 2

Appendix 3

MOS values derived on the LOAEL (37 mg/kg bw/day) from the toxicity study in dogs (Hazleton et al. 1971 – quoted in DINP 2001). The minimal MOS is a product of a factor 10 for intraspecies variation and a factor 10 for using a LOAEL instead of a NOAEL.
