Earthworm biomarker response to pollutants has been widely investigated in the
assessment of soil pollution. However, whether and how the earthworm biomarker-approach …

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is one of the most widely used plasticizers with a high concentration
in the water. Although the toxicity of DBP on aquatic organisms has become a significant …

Phthalates (phthalic acid esters) have been widely applied as plasticizers. They are
ubiquitous contaminants in soils, thereby posing a threat to human health. In this study …

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a typical persistent organic pollutant with a high load in the
agricultural soils of vegetable crops. Currently, studies on the toxicity of DBP in vegetable …

Exposure of humans to phthalates has received considerable attention due to the ubiquitous
occurrence and potential adverse health effects of these chemicals. Nevertheless, little is …

Phthalic acid esters (PAEs), which are endocrine disruptors, tend to accumulate in soil and
present unknown dangers to human health and soil ecosystems. The frequent residues of …

Microplastics (MPs) are an uncontrolled contaminant affecting marine ecosystems. Studying
their undesirable effects has been an attractive field for scientists in recent years. This study …

Petroleum is an important industrial raw material that enters the soil during production and
use and is harmful to soil organisms. To evaluate the toxicity of petroleum-contaminated soil …

Microplastics, as emerging pollutants, can adsorb polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
in aqueous environments. However, the coeffects of PAHs and microplastics on aquatic …

Microplastics are introduced into the agroecosystem through the application of wastewater
and biosolids, plastic mulch films, greenhouse materials, and soil conditioners. Microplastics …
