Rapid detection of phthalates in children's toys Phthalates are widely used in commercial products of plasticizers, but phthalates can threaten human health. Regulations on phthalate content have been established, especially for children's products. The EU stipulates that the six phthalates in plastic toys should be below 0.1%. When using GCMS analysis method to determine the content of phthalates in plastic toys, it is usually necessary to carry out sample pretreatment after extraction, concentration, filtration, etc. of the target sample. In this paper, we use (TD)-GCMS technology to replace the more complex process described above, which is simple and fast. It is a fast and sensitive method for detecting the concentration of phthalates in plastic toys. The singularity of the phthalates in a plastics Less than 0.1%. The determination of Phthalates in plastic toys generally involving extraction, concentration and filtration of the target analysts prior to GCMS analysis. In this paper we used an alternative method by Thermal Desorption (TD)-GCMS technique. The method is simple and rapid. Proven to be a rapid and sensitive method to check whether the concentration of phthalates in the toys exceeds the regulatory limit. Conclusion: The TD-GCMS method using Frontier Lab pyrolyzer has been proved to be useful in the rapid screening and quantitative determination of the six regulated phthalates in plastic toys.

A Rapid Analysis of Regulated Phthalates in Children Plastic Toys by TD–GCMS
The method also showed by directly introducing the powder of the toy, a reasonable RSD (5%) could be achieved. For higher precision, one could dissolve the powder in THF solution.
This method is currently evaluated by ASTM and CPSC.
