Phthalates and phthalic acid esters are actively used in the production of PVC-materials in order to make them resistant and flexible. They might migrate from the materials to the environment both under exposure to external physical factors, and without them. Phthalates impact negatively on the human organs and systems like the hormonal system, liver, kidneys. In addition, they have a systemic effect. The analysis of phthalates migration from polymer packaging into food is of the greatest interest for the research...

More sensitive methods to determine chemicals in food enable us to assess the contaminant danger in the product. It is of help when evaluating the speed and conditions of their formation in the food and studying long-term carcinogenic and acute toxic effects on the body. The results of exposure to contaminants on the body as biomarkers of the effect in a controlled experiment on laboratory animals and the further use of the results obtained in the risk assessment might serve as conditions for establishing or revie...
