The products made by phthalate esters could be found everywhere. But there were only a few studies mentioned about the influence of phthalate esters exposure on brain volume. We used the voxel-based morphometry analysis to observe the correlation between the concentrations of maternal urine phthalate esters (MBP, MBzP, DEHP, MEHP, MEOHP) and children’s brain volume of gray and white matter. We found the negative correlation between the concentrations and the volume of frontal gyrus and cingulate gyrus.
