Although data were inadequate to support a full scientific evaluation the report reaches several preliminary conclusions concerning the likelihood of risks to human health. Compounds are covered in separate monographs. Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBEP) is covered in the first. TBEP is used in floor polishes and as a plasticizer in rubber and plastics. Studies of concentrations in various environmental samples show that TBEP is readily biod ER -
