MORE INFORMATION ON PLASTICISERS:
Plasticisers are substances that are added to brittle materials to make them soft, pliable or stretchable, so that they are easier to work with or achieve certain usage properties. They are contained in large quantities in plastics, varnishes, paints and coatings, sealing compounds, rubber articles and adhesives.
Plasticisers also play a role in textile finishing to improve the feel and suppleness. The plasticisers can escape from the material.
Important sources of plasticisers in indoor air and house dust are building products such as floor coverings, handrails, door and window seals, electrical cables, some furniture made using phthalate-based adhesives or paints, and furnishings, bath and shower inlays and shower curtains.
Phthalate-based plasticisers are of particular concern because of their hormonal effects.
