Abstract
Diethyl phthalate (DEP,CAS Registry no.84-66-2), a kind of Phthalate esters (PAEs), which was used in many industries as an important industrial material, such as plastic, painting, rubber pesticide, cosmetic, etc. In recent years, DEP has caused environmental problems all over the world for widely use. This article discussed the development toxicity of DEP in microbial and plant, rats and humans and the progress of the technologies for degradation of DEP. We proposed that evaluation of the development toxicity and degradation of DEP would be important for risk assessment in humans and the environment removal.
