Phthalates were commonly used as plasticizers to improve the flexibility and processability
of polymer materials, but their existence and removal in various environments had become a …

A comprehensive review was performed on the environmental fate, environmental
occurrence, toxicity, physical–chemical properties, abiotic and biotic removal and …

Phthalate esters (PAEs) are a class of emerging xenobiotic compounds that are extensively
used as plasticizers. In recent times, there has been an increasing concern over the risk of …

Considering the high concentration of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in Anzali international
wetland, up to 40 times higher than the environmental risk limit, the aim of this study was to …

In the current investigation, the distribution and extent of human exposure of phthalate esters
(PAEs) have been reported on global extent based on computed indices. The proposed …

Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are high production volume chemicals used extensively as
plasticizers, to increase the flexibility of the main polymer. They are reported to leach into …
