There are also recent DBP data from US NTP dietary<br />

rat study using a range of doses. Males were exposed<br />

to DBP via their mothers throughout pregnancy and<br />

lactation and subsequently directly via the diet until<br />

adult. Effects on adult testis weight and<br />

study<br />

LOAEL based on embryotoxic effects in rats. Absence Embryonic development and endocrine<br />

of maternal toxicity in a two-generation reproduction activity<br />

study with a continuous breeding protocol including<br />

improved sensitive endpoints and exposure of both<br />

sexes. Protocol intended to identify compounds with<br />

endocrine activity. 52 mg/kg bw chosen to be<br />

consistent with the EU SCTEE; in an assessment of PVC<br />

toys and child-care articles, the SCTEE identified the<br />

LOAEL of 0.1% in the diet as critical LOAEL <strong>for</strong> DBP and<br />

set it at 52 mg/kg bw (CSTEE, 1998). However, as<br />

observed effects more likely from maternal than<br />

paternal dosing, 0.1% of diet equates better to 80<br />

mg/kg bw than to 52 mg/kg bw. Lowest NOAEL <strong>for</strong> this<br />

peroxysomal proliferation in rats was 19.9 mg DBP/kg<br />

bw, however this effect not considered important in<br />

humans (ECETOC, 1992).<br />
