Butylbenzylphthalate: En40-215/44E

Butylbenzylphthalate, also known as BBP, is used mainly as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride flooring and other materials. It is not manufactured in Canada, but about 4 kilotons are imported into the country per year. BBP is released into the environment from facilities that blend the substance with resins. Most releases of BBP appear to be to the atmosphere, but the substance has also been detected in industrial and municipal liquid effluents
