Abstract

Diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) which has high physical flexibility, various colors, low viscosity, high stability is used as coating material in ballon, vinyl ink, tent, textile, home and cars interior design and electric cable. In rodents, DIDP is suspected to be a peroxisome proliferator, a nongenotoxic carcinogen. In this study, we performed the carcinogenicity test of DIDP. (omitted)
