Background
Alkylphenols are used as starting material for the production of surface active substances, detergents, pesticides, paints, textile and paper. It is released during production and use of these products. Alkylphenols are recognized as endocrine disruptors, in particular estrogenic endocrine disruptors. A highly comparable compound is octylphenol.

Source
