Metabolism and urinary excretion kinetics of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol after a single oral dose: Characterisation of suitable exposure biomarkers for human biomonitoring.
2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol (DTBP) is a degradation product of the antioxidant and plastic additive tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite. DTBP can migrate into food or drinking water from high production volume polyolefins containing this additive, leading to potential human exposures, confirmed by findings of DTBP in bl...
