This study was performed to survey and evaluate the contents of di-n-butyl phthalate(DBP) in manicures by GC/FID and GC/MSD. The tested samples were 61 domestic and 41 imported manicures circulating in Seoul and Kyonggi-Do area. DBP was detected respectively in the rate of 93.4% for domestic manicures and 43.9% for imported manicures. The contents of DBP in domestic and imported manicures were 11.6g/17g~74.7g/kg and 28.2g/kg~78.9g/kg respectively. DBP was used in domestic and imported manicures with the exception of Japan products. Therefore, the alternative material for DBP should be developed and used to ensure consumers' safety.
