Summary

Melamine and phthalates are environmental emerging chemicals, which are ubiquitously present in the public and easily contacted by children through air, foods, and skin. This study aims to examine whether the use of family-based behavior intervention by providing simple flyers plus face-to-face health education point-by-point and give one bag containing stainless steel-made tableware for eating out use to study children's mothers or main-care givers can significantly decrease melamine and phthalates exposure by measuring urinary melamine and metabolites of phthalates (especially DEHP metabolites) in study children and their mothers or main-care givers, when compared to those provided simple flyers only.
