Rubber hose industry utilizes phthalates
Phthalates are used in a large variety of plastic products (i.e., rubber hoses) to increase their flexibility, durability and longevity. But phthalates are being phased out of many products in the United States and European Union because they have been linked to birth defects.
Workers exposed to phthalates in the rubber hose manufacturing industry have been known to sire male children with testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS). Symptoms include poor spermatogenesis (sperm production), hypospadias, cryptorchidism and testicular cancer.
Workers in rubber hose industry risk health
Workers in the broader rubber products industry, which produces rubber hoses, shower curtains, gaskets, medical tubing, and rubber boots, are also vulnerable to phthalate exposure and putting their children at risk for testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS).
