Phthalate esters are found in a wide variety of consumer and food packing products. Hence there is widespread exposure of the human population to these chemicals. Some of the phthalate esters are known to be toxic to the developing male reproductive system. This paper derives a reference dose (RfD) for each of the phthalate esters (dibutyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, butylbenzyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate, dipentyl phthalate, and diisononyl phthalate) that cause these effects. As these phthalate esters cause similar adverse biological effects and have the same mechanism of action, it is appropriate in a risk assessment to consider the potential adverse effects from cumulative exposure to these chemicals using a dose addition model. This paper provides examples of a cumulative risk assessment using the hazard index and relative potency approaches from the RfDs derived from studies in laboratory animals and exposure information in people. The results of the cumulative risk assessments for both a US and a German population show that the hazard index is below one. Thus it is unlikely that humans are suffering adverse developmental effects from current environmental exposure to these phthalate esters.
