Overview

Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), also known as dimethyl benzene-1,2-dicarboxylate, is an organic compound and a phthalate ester. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a slight aromatic odor, soluble in organic solvents but poorly soluble in water (~4 g/L). DMP is primarily used as an insect repellent and in various consumer products.

Uses

DMP is used in a variety of products, including insect repellents for mosquitoes and flies, cosmetics, inks, soaps, household cleaning supplies, solid rocket propellants, and plastics. It is also used as a plasticizer for cellulose-esters, such as cellulose acetate and cellulose acetate butyrate, and as a fixative for perfumes.

Regulatory

The U.S Environmental Protection Agency has classified Dimethyl phthalate as not classifiable for human carcinogenicity. Permissible exposure limits include a TWA of 5 mg/m³ and an IDLH of 2000 mg/m³.

Monitoring

Monitoring of DMP levels in various environments is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and to protect human health and the environment.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

Acute exposure to DMP via inhalation can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat. Chronic effects, reproductive effects, and carcinogenicity of DMP are not fully established. However, it is considered to have less potential for inducing health hazards compared to other phthalates.

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

DMP can cause oxidative damage to aquatic organisms such as zebrafish. It also affects soil bacteria like Pseudomonas fluorescens, inhibiting growth and glucose utilization, which can impact plant growth and soil health.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and storage of DMP are essential to minimize exposure risks. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used when handling this compound.
