Abstract
The presence of the phthalates di-n-dibutyl phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and benzyl butyl phthalate, the alkylphenols nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates, and 2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)ethanol (DEGME) was determined and quanti ed in 26 detergents and cleaning products for domestic use. These chemicals are subject to authorization and restriction (REACH Regulation). Chromatography was used for separation (reverse-phase liquid chromatography for phthalates and alkylphenols, and gas chromatography for glycol ethers), and mass spectrometry for detection. Phthalates were detected in all samples. Phthalate concentrations were below the authorization limit for mixtures. Nonylphenol was present in a concentration that was relatively lower than those of nonylphenol ethoxylates. Alkylphenol concentrations were below the restriction level on the sale and use of domestic cleaning products. DEGME concentrations were below the restriction level on the sale of cleaning products to the general public. In sum, the concentrations of the di erent analyzed substances were below the concentration levels requiring authorization or restriction under the REACH Regulation.The articles published in this journal are subject to the following terms and conditions:
