Di(2- ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is a manufactured chemical commonly added to plastics to make them flexible.1 Children absorb greater amounts ― and metabolize and retain larger amounts ― of MEHP, the toxic metabolite of DEHP.1
Because children may be more sensitive to the adverse effects of DEHP compared to adults, DEHP exposure may negatively impact pediatric patients in the following ways:1
- Contribute to the development of hyaline membrane disease and necrotizing enterocolitis
- Adversely affect male reproductive tract development
- Damage the liver and lungs
