Phthalates, or phthalate esters, are esters of phthalic acid and are mainly used as plasticizers (substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity).

Phthalates are manufactured by reacting phthalic anhydride with alcohol(s) that range from methanol and ethanol (C1/C2) up to tridecyl alcohol (C13), either as a straight chain or with some branching.

They are divided into two distinct groups, with very different applications, toxicological properties, and classification, based on the number of carbon atoms in their alcohol chain.

They are used primarily to soften polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Lower-molecular-weight phthalates (3-6 carbon atoms in their backbone) are being gradually replaced in many products in the United States, Canada, and European Union over health concerns.

They are replaced by high-molecular-weight phthalates (those with more than 6 carbons in their backbone, which gives them increased permanency and durability).

In 2010, the market was still dominated by high-phthalate plasticizers; however, due to legal provisions and growing environmental awareness and perceptions, producers are increasingly forced to use non-phthalate plasticizers.

Bathing is the washing of the body with a fluid, usually water or an aqueous solution, or the immersion of the body in water.

It may be practiced for personal hygiene, religious ritual or therapeutic purposes.

By analogy, especially as a recreational activity, the term is also applied to sun bathing and sea bathing.

In chemistry, a soap is a salt of a fatty acid.

Household uses for soaps include washing, bathing, and other types of housekeeping, where soaps act as surfactants, emulsifying oils to enable them to be carried away by water.

In industry they are also used in textile spinning and are important components of some lubricants.

Metal soaps are also included in modern artists' oil paints formulations as a rheology modifier.

A candle is an ignitable wick embedded in wax or another flammable solid substance such as tallow that provides light, and in some cases, a fragrance.

It can also be used to provide heat, or used as a method of keeping time.

Nausea is a sensation of unease and discomfort in the upper stomach with an involuntary urge to vomit.

It may precede vomiting, but a person can have nausea without vomiting.

When prolonged, it is a debilitating symptom.
