Although several of these studies report released concentrations that are lower than the established legal limit values, there are also occasions where they are considerably higher. It has also been highlighted that the guideline values do not take into account of the low levels at which endocrine-disrupting chemicals may be in effect nor do they consider the toxicity of mixtures
