Phthalates do not leach from PVC to the environment (air, water, soil)

FACT: Phthalates do not leach from PVC to the environment (air, water, soil)

Phthalates may be released from the plastic when it is exposed to very high temperatures and/or solvents. Some small amounts of phthalates which may yet enter the environment will undergo biodegradation, and they will not be accumulated neither in the environment nor in living organisms.
