| Summary: | Phthalates, one of the most common plasticizing agents, are found in flexible PVC, car components, water supply networks, and water bottles. To identify relevant study documents, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and PubMed were utilized extensively. The findings of this study showed that the highest average concentrations of Diethyl phthalate (DEP), Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), and Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) were 2.14, 5.45, 2.21, and 3.10, respectively. A recent study revealed that drinking water phthalate levels depend on storage conditions like temperature, sunlight, and box or packaging type. |
