        <RULE_TITLE>Toxics Release Inventory; Addition of Six Phthalates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is evaluating whether to add 6 phthalates (diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), di-n-pentyl phthalate (DnPP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), and diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP)) to the list of chemicals reportable under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (i.e., the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)). Phthalate exposure can produce a variety of adverse effects in laboratory animals especially on the development of the male reproductive system, and therefore there are implications for human health. Phthalates are produced in high volume and they are used in numerous industrial and consumer products. Phthalates appear in biomonitoring surveys, such as the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey, that provide evidence of widespread human exposure. Phthalates are also found in the environment and wildlife species. EPA is concerned with phthalates based on toxicity, particularly to the development of the male reproductive system, prevalence in the environment, widespread use and human exposure, and recent work focusing on the potential cumulative effect of mixtures of phthalates.]]></ABSTRACT>
