| Description | Phthalates are a class of synthetic chemicals. Some phthalates are used to make plastics more flexible, while other phthalates are used as dissolving agents for materials. Consumer products release phthalates into our homes, schools, and workplaces as they degrade. The draft Phthalates Action Plan identifies, characterizes, and evaluates uses and releases of phthalates, and recommends actions to protect human health and the environment. Washington State’s departments of Ecology and Health work together to develop action plans (APs). APs assess the environmental and health impacts of a chemical or class of chemicals, and recommend strategies to reduce or eliminate those impacts. Ecology and Health work with industry, tribes, local governments, and environmental groups in developing the plans. |
