Phthalate Testing Services

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced its intent to regulate dozens of uses of five widely used phthalate chemicals, highlighting growing concerns over workplace exposures and environmental impacts associated with these substances. EPA risk evaluations identified unreasonable risks tied to certain industrial uses of these phthalates, prompting the agency to pursue targeted regulatory actions aimed at protecting workers and the environment.

“Phthalates are widely used as plasticizers in many products and materials,” said Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President of Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “As EPA moves forward with regulatory actions addressing specific phthalate uses, there is increased demand for precise, reliable analytical testing to support regulatory compliance, product stewardship, health and safety programs, and environmental monitoring. EMSL’s network of accredited laboratories provides rapid turnaround times and expert technical support to help organizations stay ahead of these types of evolving regulatory requirements.”

EMSL’s phthalate testing services include:
