'''Dibutyl phthalate''' ('''DBP''') is an [[organic compound]] which is commonly used as a [[plasticizer]] because of its low toxicity and wide liquid range. With the [[chemical formula]] C₆H₄(CO₂C₄H₉)₂, it is a colorless oil, although impurities often render commercial samples yellow.<ref name=Ullmann>Peter M. Lorz, Friedrich K. Towae, Walter Enke, Rudolf Jäckh, Naresh Bhargava, Wolfgang Hillesheim "Phthalic Acid and Derivatives" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 2007, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim. {{doi|10.1002/14356007.a20_181.pub2}}</ref>

==Production and use==

DBP is produced by the reaction of [[n-Butanol|''n''-butanol]] with [[phthalic anhydride]].<ref name=Ullmann/> DBP is an important plasticizer that enhances the utility of some major engineering plastics, such as PVC. Such modified PVC is widely used in plumbing for carrying sewerage and other corrosive materials.<ref name=Ullmann/>

==Degradation==

Hydrolysis of DBP leads to phthalic acid and [[1-butanol]].<ref name=":22">{{Cite book|title=Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Volume 224|volume=224|last1=Huang|first1=Jingyu|last2=Nkrumah|first2=Philip N.|last3=Li|first3=Yi|last4=Appiah-Sefah|first4=Gloria|date=2013|publisher=Springer, New York, NY|isbn=9781461458814|series=Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology|pages=39–52|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-1-4614-5882-1_2|pmid = 23232918}}</ref> [[Monobutyl phthalate]] (MBP) is its major metabolite.<ref name="pmid25903692">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hu Y, Dong C, Chen M, Chen Y, Gu A, Xia Y, Sun H, Li Z, Wang Y | title = Effects of monobutyl phthalate on steroidogenesis through steroidogenic acute regulatory protein regulated by transcription factors in mouse Leydig tumor cells | journal = J Endocrinol Invest | volume = 38 | issue = 8 | pages = 875–84 | date = August 2015 | pmid = 25903692 | doi = 10.1007/s40618-015-0279-6 | s2cid = 21965989 }}</ref>

===Biodegradation===

[[Biodegradation]] by microorganisms represents one route for remediation of DBP. For example, ''[[Enterobacter]]'' species can biodegrade municipal solid waste—where the DBP concentration can be observed at 1500 ppm—with a [[half-life]] of 2–3 hours. In contrast, the same species can break down 100% of dimethyl phthalate after a span of six days.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Abdel daiem|first1=Mahmoud M.|last2=Rivera-Utrilla|first2=José|last3=Ocampo-Pérez|first3=Raúl|last4=Méndez-Díaz|first4=José D.|last5=Sánchez-Polo|first5=Manuel|title=Environmental impact of phthalic acid esters and their removal from water and sediments by different technologies – A review|journal=Journal of Environmental Management|volume=109|pages=164–178|doi=10.1016/j.jenvman.2012.05.014|pmid=22796723|year=2012}}</ref>

===Physical properties relevant to biodegradation===

As reflected by its [[octanol-water partition coefficient]] of around 4, it is lipophilic, which means that it is not readily mobilized (dissolved by) water. Nonetheless, dissolved organic compounds (DOC) increase its mobility in [[landfill]]s.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Christensen|first1=Thomas H|last2=Kjeldsen|first2=Peter|last3=Bjerg|first3=Poul L|last4=Jensen|first4=Dorthe L|last5=Christensen|first5=Jette B|last6=Baun|first6=Anders|last7=Albrechtsen|first7=Hans-Jørgen|last8=Heron|first8=Gorm|title=Biogeochemistry of landfill leachate plumes|journal=Applied Geochemistry|volume=16|issue=7–8|pages=659–718|doi=10.1016/s0883-2927(00)00082-2|year=2001|bibcode=2001ApGC...16..659C}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bauer|first1=M.J.|last2=Herrmann|first2=R.|date=2016-07-02|title=Dissolved organic carbon as the main carrier of phthalic acid esters in municipal landfill leachates|journal=Waste Management & Research|language=en|volume=16|issue=5|pages=446–454|doi=10.1177/0734242x9801600507|s2cid=98236129}}</ref>

DBP has a low [[vapor pressure]] of 2.67 x 10⁻³ Pa. Thus DBP does not evaporate readily (hence its utility as a plasticizer).<ref name=":12">{{Cite journal|last=Donovan|first=Stephen F.|title=New method for estimating vapor pressure by the use of gas chromatography|journal=Journal of Chromatography A|volume=749|issue=1–2|pages=123–129|doi=10.1016/0021-9673(96)00418-9|year=1996}}</ref> The [[Henry's Law constant]] is 8.83 x 10⁻⁷ atm-m³/mol.<ref name=":22" />

==Legislation==

DBP is regarded as an [[endocrine disruptor]].<ref name="urlCDC - National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals | CDC">{{cite journal | url = https://www.cdc.gov/exposurereport/ | title = National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals | year = 2021 | publisher = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services | doi = 10.15620/cdc:105345 | s2cid = 241013949 | access-date = 2009-03-14}}</ref>

===European Union===

The use of this substance in cosmetics, including nail polishes, is banned in the [[European Union]] under [[EU Directive|Directive]] 76/768/EEC 1976.<ref>[http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31976L0768:EN:HTML EU Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products]</ref>

The use of DBP has been restricted in the European Union for use in children's toys since 1999.<ref>[http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/99/829&format=HTML&aged=1&language=EN&guiLanguage=en Ban of phthalates in childcare articles and toys], press release IP/99/829, 10 November 1999</ref>

An EU Risk Assessment has been conducted on DBP and the outcome has now been published in the EU Official Journal. To eliminate a potential risk to plants in the vicinity of processing sites and workers through inhalation, measures are to be taken within the framework of the IPPC Directive (96/61/EC) and the Occupational Exposure Directive (98/24/EC)<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.plasticisers.org/uploads/Risk%20assessments/DBP%20Risk%20Assessment%20Summary.pdf |title=European Union Risk Assessment Report |access-date=2 January 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160121015834/http://www.plasticisers.org/uploads/Risk%20assessments/DBP%20Risk%20Assessment%20Summary.pdf |archive-date=21 January 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Also includes the 2004 addendum.

Based on urine samples from people of different ages, the European Commission [[Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks]] (SCHER) concluded that total exposures to DBP should be further reduced.<ref>{{cite web | title=Phthalates in school supplies| publisher=GreenFacts Website | access-date=2009-06-10 | url= http://copublications.greenfacts.org/en/phthalates-school-supplies/}}</ref>

===United States===

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is one of the six phthalic acid esters found on the Priority Pollutant List, which consists of pollutants regulated by the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] (U.S. EPA).<ref name=":02">{{Cite journal|last1=Gao|first1=Da-Wen|last2=Wen|first2=Zhi-Dan|title=Phthalate esters in the environment: A critical review of their occurrence, biodegradation, and removal during wastewater treatment processes|journal=Science of the Total Environment|volume=541|pages=986–1001|doi=10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.09.148|pmid=26473701|year=2016|bibcode=2016ScTEn.541..986G}}</ref>

DBP was added to the [[California Proposition 65 (1986)]] list of suspected [[Teratogenesis|teratogen]]s in November 2006. It is a suspected [[endocrine disruptor]].<ref name="urlCDC - National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals | CDC"/> It was used in many consumer products, e.g., [[nail polish]], but such usages has declined since around 2006. It was banned in children's toys, in concentrations of 1000 ppm or greater, under section 108 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA).
