In 2012, for example, a Swedish study suggested that people with diabetes are conspicuously contaminated with phthalates.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">In October 2021, a study appeared in the prestigious scientific journal \"Environmental Pollution\" that found that in people between the ages of 55 and 63, the level of mortality was directly related to the amount of phthalates detected in their urine. The study examined 5,300 adults over the period from 2001 to 2010, with documented deaths by 2015. Previous studies in the U.S. have also identified these associations. Extrapolating, it is estimated that phthalates are responsible for 100,000 deaths there each year.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">In 2022, a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute by the University of Vermont Cancer Center indicated that phthalates may contribute to the development of some cancers in children. According to the study, the risk of lymphoma, such as Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, increases twofold, and that of bone cancer even threefold.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fc98539\" data-id=\"fc98539\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12cf0d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"12cf0d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a295340 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"a295340\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8f7e2b3\" data-id=\"8f7e2b3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db3109e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"db3109e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3efdaad\" data-id=\"3efdaad\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88b0f2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"88b0f2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Can I protect myself as a consumer?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5a5de8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f5a5de8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you can research and obtain information. Not all plasticizers in PVC are hazardous or toxic. However, there is no general obligation to label all plasticizers contained in the product. Upon request, manufacturers are required within 45 days to provide information at least about all ingredients in their products that are on the list of substances of concern. The plasticizers DINP, DEHP, DBD and BBP mentioned above are among them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, it is also the case that quite a few product groups are not simply made of a plastic plus plasticizers.

And this was despite the fact that only 260 of the 1,400 chemicals detected were identified beyond doubt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But back to the question: YES, you can also protect yourself to a certain extent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A life completely without contact with PVC is more or less impossible in Germany, for example. But a distinction can be made between product groups containing PVC that are unavoidable (e.g. cables) and those that can sometimes be dispensed with altogether. These include ...\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">... food packaging.
