1. Phthalate esters are the diakyll or alkyl aryl esters of phthalic acid 2. The phthalates have a clear syrupy liquid consistency and show low water solubility, high oil solubility, and low volatility 3. When added to plastics, phthalates allow long polyvinyl molecules to slide against one another 4. They are colorless, odorless liquids 5. They are produced by reacting phtalic anhydride with an appropriate alchohol (typically 6- to 13-carbon.)

No. By definition if something is 100% x it can not contain any percentage at all of substance y. 100% polyester does not contain any phthalate as plasticizer or as another additive. Phthalates are esters in their own right.

Where can you buy a water bottle not made with phthalates?
It is my understanding when doing research for phthalates in our water samples, that phthalates are released from plastic containers. We changed our containers from plastic to glass and voila! no more phthalates in our samples. It seems that a water bottle with no phthalates would have to be a glass bottle,

No. You should not use harsh hair chemicals at all, or nail polish, or cosmetics, while pregnant.Also, there is a substance called "phthalates" present in a lot of fragranced things and soap and shampoo that can be harmful to a baby, so try to find out if your soap and shampoo and laundry soap and fabric softener contain phthalates or not--and switch to products that don't.

Why is an eco mattress important?
Most mattresses (especially baby and children's mattresses) are made primarily from polyurethane foam. This is a petroleum product with various added chemicals which turn it into a foam. Other chemicals are then added to prevent the foam from igniting and burning (it is petroleum after all). The American Association of State Fire Marshals has called polyurethane foam "solid gasolene" and has asked the EPA to classify it as a hazardous substance. Further, most waterproofed mattresses (once again, primarily baby and children's mattresses) are made waterproof by using a vinyl surface on the mattress. Vinyl offgasses phthalates, a known toxic substance. The American Academy of Pediaricians has recognized phthalates as a suspected human carcinogen. A University of Rochester Medical School study has definitivly linked phthalates to male fertility issues. A study in the International Journal of Cancer links phthalates in vinyl to allergies and asthma. Eco mattresses remove these (and other) potentially harmful chemicals. However, eco mattresses do not necessarily solve all problems. For example, many eco mattresses are made from natural latex, a known allergen (especially for children). Many also use wool which can be similarly problematic. Many eco mattresses are not waterproof, which can lead to bacteria and mold growth, particularly in baby and children's mattresses. Greenguard Environmental Institute (www.greenguard.org) and Healthy Child Healthy World (www.healthychild.org) are two independent non-profits that evaluate and recommend eco-friendly and safe mattresses.
