The presence of microplastics in various abiotic and biotic matrices has sought the attention
of researchers across the globe. Despite being subsurface, groundwater is also reported to …

Highlights•PAEs are nowadays used as plasticisers in the manufacture of plastics.•Analytical
methods for the determination of PAEs in foods are reviewed.•Solvent and sorbent based …

Phthalates are commonly used plasticizers in the plastics industry, and have received
extensive attention due to their reproductive toxicity. Since phthalates are lipophilic …

In the process of production, processing, transportation, and storage of edible oils, the oils
inevitably come into contact with plastic products. As a result, plasticizers migrate into edible …

In this study, an analytical method based on the modified QuEChERS and gas
chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was proposed to determine 15 phthalic acid …

Phthalate acid esters (PAE) are used as additives in the formulation of plastics, to increase
their flexibility and transparency. They can migrate from plastic packaging to food, then …

BACKGROUND Migration is a mass transfer process in which chemical substances with a
low molecular weight are transferred from packaging into food. This phenomenon has …

A review of state-of-the-art methods of sample preparation and chemical analysis for the
control of contaminants in foodstuffs and food raw materials is presented. The main …

A novel ratiometric fluorescent immunoassay was developed based on silver nanoparticles
(AgNPs) for the sensitive determination of dibutyl phthalate (DBP). In the detection system …

Carbonized aramid fiber was prepared as a new type of adsorbent for in‐tube solid‐phase
microextraction. The surface structure, chemical composition, and graphitization degree of …
