Abstract Single-use plastics (SUPs), invented for the modern “throwaway society,” are
intended to be used only once. They are being increasingly produced and used globally …

The distribution and abundance of microplastics into the world are so extensive that many
scientists use them as key indicators of the recent and contemporary period defining a new …

Microplastics (MPs), an emerging pollutant, are of global concern due to their wide
distribution and large quantities. In addition to MPs themselves, various additives within MPs …

Plastic products are made from the essential polymer mixed with a complex blend of
substances including catalyst remnants, polymerization solvents, and a wide range of other …

Agricultural plastic films have been proven highly advantageous, but they also cause
pollution of plastic debris and associated chemicals. Phthalates (phthalic acid esters, PAEs) …

Plastics debris, especially microplastics, have been found worldwide in all marine
compartments. Much research has been carried out on adsorbed pollutants on plastic …

Plastic debris in the environment contains plasticizers, such as phthalates (PAEs), that can
be released during plastic aging. Here, two common plastic materials, an insulation layer of …

Phthalate esters are one of the most frequently detected persistent organic pollutants in the
environment. A better understanding of their occurrence and degradation in the environment …

Because of their large and widespread application, phthalates or phthalic acid esters (PAEs)
are ubiquitous in all the environmental compartements. They have been widely detected …

Plastic debris have been shown to degenerate to particle sizes that can be transported in air,
water, and food. Small particles are documented to enter and exit our bodies and translocate …
