Widespread phthalate exposure has been recently documented and is hypothesized to increase blood pressure (BP) in humans. However, current studies have provided inconclusive evidence for an association between phthalate exposure and BP. Human epidemiologic studies on the topic remain lacking.

The Yellow River Delta (YRD) is a typical agricultural and petrochemical industrial area of China. To assess the current status of phthalate esters (PAEs) of soil residues, soil samples (0∼20 cm) (n = 82) were collected in Bincheng District, at the geographic center

Temporal variability of phthalates (PAEs) in PM2.5 from Shenzhen during 2015-2016 was measured and the associated human exposure via inhalation was assessed. The PM2.5 concentrations ranged from 30.7 to 115 μg m-3, greater than the air quality guidelines of interim target-3 (10-15 μg m-3)
