Phthalates are high-production-volume synthetic chemicals with ubiquitous environmental pollution because of their use in plastics and other common consumer products.

Here we review research about how phthalates interact with the female reproductive system in vivo, in vitro models, embryo development toxicity and the mechanisms of female toxicity.
