Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate violations in New Jersey

7 active public water systems in New Jersey had a Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate violation in the past three years, 3 of them still unresolved. What Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate is and why it matters.

Health effects: Chronic exposure to DEHP is associated with reproductive and developmental toxicity — it acts as an endocrine disruptor and can interfere with hormone signaling. EPA classifies it as a probable human carcinogen (Group B2) based on animal liver tumor data. Developing fetuses, infants, and reproductive-age adults are most susceptible to its hormonal effects.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate, including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate alone.
