摘要

A simple and efficient strategy was developed for the identification of material devices’ polymers and the extraction of the additives contained within. In this study, the focus is put on the presence of phthalate esters in French medical devices, mainly on diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), being reported as toxic, endocrine disruptor plasticisers. Their presence was investigated across seven standard medical devices, especially concerning newborn exposure, and compared with results obtained in similar materials from the past decades. Only traces of DEHP, below the limit of quantification (< 6 ppm) were detected in one of the samples by GC–MS using a standard for identification and quantification. This study shows that phthalates’ presence in medical devices used in French hospitals has been greatly diminished, to the benefit of healthier hospital environments.
