Phthalates are well-known emerging contaminants that harm human health and the
environment. Therefore, this review aims to discuss about the occurrence, fate, and …

Polymer membranes have attracted interest in many areas, such as desalination, water
treatment, gas separation, and energy storage and generation. Membrane fabrication …

Considering the ubiquitous occurrences and ecotoxicity of phthalates (PAEs), it is essential
to understand their sources, distribution, and associated ecological risks of PAEs in …

Despite a theoretical link between plastic and plasticiser occurrence in the terrestrial
environment, there are few empirical studies of the relationship between these contaminants …

Seawater, sediment, seagrass and fish from several sites along the Tunisian coast were
monitored for several phthalate esters (PAEs) and non-phthalate plasticizers (NPPs) during …

As an important environmental reservoir of phthalate esters (PAEs), soil-plant system
constitutes a key exposure pathway to human health. In this study, agricultural soil and …

The widespread presence of phthalate esters (PAEs) in a variety of agricultural inputs has
led to PAE contamination in soils and farm products. The endocrine disruption and …

The interaction of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) with DNA is known to be responsible for the
disruption of endocrine functions and the teratogenic and carcinogenic effects. However, the …

Environmental context Many human activities cause the release of plastic and associated
plasticisers to land, where chemicals may persist for extended periods and be taken up by …

The retention of microplastics, a complex blend of polymers and plastic additives (PAs), in
municipal sludge has been reported. The inevitable release of PAs from microplastics might …
