There can be if deliberately added, but no, not usually.
That is the correct spelling of name for the hydrocarbons, phthalates.
No, not all vinyl contains phthalates. Phthalates are used as plasticizers in some vinyl products to make them flexible, but there are phthalate-free alternatives available. It's important to check product labels or contact manufacturers to determine if phthalates are present.
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
Polystyrene is formed from only one monomer - styrene.
thermocol is the common name for air bubbled polystyrene.
That is the correct spelling of name for the hydrocarbons, 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,

The dangers of products containing phthalates are usually aimed towards reproductive and developmental health, since phthalates are considered reproductive and developmental toxins. Also, phthalates are accused of being the cause of testicular dysgenesis syndrome.
pacifiers are made of plastics but there are some chemical such as phthalates "DINP di isononyl phthalates". phthalates are generaly thought to be harmful. however the amount in pacifiers is said to be harmless
Phthalates are not completely banned in all products, but some specific phthalates have been restricted or banned in certain products due to concerns about their potential health effects, particularly on hormone disruption and reproductive development. Regulations on phthalates vary by country and region.
Polystyrene is NOT biodegradable
Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic
In most acrylic paints yes. You can buy phthalate free paint but if it doesn't state it is so, i would assume there is phthalates in it. Most paint you will purchase is largely comprised of toluene, xylene, Ethyl benzene, and phthalates, as well as pigments and dye. It is pretty harsh stuff.
They can produce risk's to humans because they soften the plastic with phthalates. They can damage Human DNA to much exposure will damage them. They are linked to early puberty.
Because polystyrene is the polymer of the monomer styrene; poli in the Greek language has the meaning of many.
Polystyrene is obtained by the polymerization of the monomer styrene.
