Abstract

With the development of modem technology,more and more plastic products are widely used in various fields,while bringing significant convenience to the society,it also leads to more and more environmental estrogen.The influence of plasticizer is increasing,especially on the development of children.Extensive contacting with plasticizer is considered to be closely related with gonadal digenesis,obesity and other problems in children.This review focuses on the latest research results about the basic and clinical experiments of Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP),which illuminate the effects of DEHP on children's growth and metabolism,and lay foundations for rational clinical intervention and scientific plasticizer's application.
