This review provides a critical analysis of the biological effects of the most widely used
plasticizers, including dibutyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate, dimethyl phthalate, butyl …

Due to their versatility, robustness, and low production costs, plastics are used in a wide
variety of applications. Plasticizers are mixed with polymers to increase flexibility of plastics …

Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates are among the most popular plasticizers used today and
have been reported ubiquitously in surface water, ground water, and sediment. For aquatic …

Solubility values for eight phthalate esters investigated ranged from 0.020 to 121 mg/L.
Acute toxicity tests were conducted with fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) and all …

The invertebrate innate immunity is a crucial characteristic that represents a valuable basis
for studying common biological responses to environmental pollutants. Cell defence …

Abstract Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a commonly used plasticizer, with evidence of
ubiquitous human exposure and widespread occurrence in the aquatic environment. It is an …

During the monitoring of Caretta caretta nests on the island of Linosa, 30 unhatched eggs
from four nests were collected to study the presence of phthalates in their three components …

Phthalates are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and are known to adversely affect
male reproductive health in mammals through interactions with multiple receptor systems …

Phthalates are used as plasticizers to increase durability, resistivity and flexibility of plastic
materials. The commonly used phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is used in different …

Phthalates (PAEs) are of wide concern because they are commonly used in various plastic
products as plasticizers, and can found their way into the environment. However, their …
