Bis-(2-propylheptyl)phthalate (DPHP) metabolites emerging in 24Â h urine samples from the German Environmental Specimen Bank (1999-2012)

Our results show that the general German population is increasingly exposed to DPHP. However, exposure is considerably lower than for DIDP or other high molecular weight phthalates. Future measurements will enable us to monitor the development of DPHP exposure and advise risk management steps, if warranted.
