Sanitary pads and diapers are made of synthetic plastic materials that can potentially be released while being used. This study measured the amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (methylene chloride, toluene, and xylene) and phthalates (DBP, DEHP, DEP, and BBP) contained in sanitary pads and diapers. In sanitary pads, 5,900- and 130-fold differences of VOC and phthalate concentrations were seen among the brands. In the diapers, 3- and 63-fold differences of VOC and phthalate concentrations were detected among the brands. VOC concentrations from the sanitary pads and diapers were similar to that of the residential air. However, phthalate concentrations of sanitary pads and diapers were significantly higher than those found in common commercial plastic products. As sanitary pads and diapers are in direct contact with external genitalia for an extended period, there is a probability that a considerable amount of VOCs or phthalates could be absorbed into the reproductive system.
卫生棉条和纸尿裤由合成塑料材料制成，在使用过程中可能会释放出来。本研究测量了卫生棉条和纸尿裤中挥发性有机化合物（VOC）（二氯甲烷、甲苯和二甲苯）和邻苯二甲酸酯（DBP、DEHP、DEP 和 BBP）的含量。在卫生棉条中，不同品牌之间的 VOC 和邻苯二甲酸酯浓度存在 5900 倍和 130 倍的差异。在纸尿裤中，不同品牌之间的 VOC 和邻苯二甲酸酯浓度存在 3 倍和 63 倍的差异。卫生棉条和纸尿裤中的 VOC 浓度与住宅空气中的浓度相似。然而，卫生棉条和纸尿裤中的邻苯二甲酸酯浓度明显高于常见商业塑料制品中的浓度。由于卫生棉条和纸尿裤与外阴部长期直接接触，因此有可能大量吸收 VOC 或邻苯二甲酸酯进入生殖系统。
