Phthalates are in a wide range of products ranging from nail polishes and perfumes, hand lotions and soaps, to wood finishes, our exposure to these chemicals is higher than originally thought. There are currently 4 million tons of phthalates produced and widely used throughout the world each year, industry representatives downplay any adverse effects. DBP consists of butyl alcohol and phthalic. DBP is banned by the EU for use in cosmetics. A study on CDC data published in Environmental Health Perspectives, revealed that American men with abdominal obesity or insulin resistance (a precursor to diabetes) were more likely to have high levels of DEHP and DBP metabolites in their urine than men without those problems.

DBP is a known immune system toxicant meaning there are health problems ranging from allergic reactions to an incapacity to fight disease and repair damaged tissue in the body. The California EPA Proposition 65 states it is a possible human developmental toxicant with moderate evidence showing developmental and reproductive toxicity ranging from birth defects to development delays in children to infertility to reproductive organ cancers. There is strong evidence of human neurotoxicity meaning there are health concerns ranging from development delays to chronic nerve degeneration diseases. The EPA states it is a known human respiratory toxicant with other organ system toxicity concerns of one or more biological systems in the body such as cardiovascular, stomach and digestive systems. Other concerns with these chemicals are an environmental one, resisting normal breakdown in the environment it can build up in wildlife, the food chain and people, lingering in body tissues for years and even decades after exposure. In high doses studies have shown a possibility for endocrine disruption meaning the body's natural hormones & chemicals that carry messages across the body to manage growth, tissue repair, and reproduction are effected. Studies have also shown cell mutation in mammalian cells making it a possible carcinogen.
