The health of the nation is one of the most important concerns of governmental and nongovernmental organizations, ecologists, etc. A number of studies have shown phthalates’ potential impact on human health due to their carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting effects. More than 2000 analyses for determination of phthalates’ rests in alcoholic beverages were done in the laboratory of National Center for Quality Testing of the Alcoholic Beverages (Republic of Moldova) using modern method of analysis like GC-MS.
