Environmental Aspect Concerning Phthalates Contamination: Analytical Approaches and Assessment of Biomonitoring in the Aquatic Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This review covered the environmental occurrence, analytical detection methods, and biomonitoring of phthalate plasticizers in aquatic organisms, summarizing extraction techniques, bioindicator species, and the ecological and toxicological risks of phthalate contamination in water bodies.
This review is a survey of recent progress in studies concerning the impact of phthalic acid esters in aquatic organisms. After introducing the classification, properties, sources, fate, and toxic effects related to phthalates, an overview of the techniques of extraction and analysis of these substances is provided. As a result, the general concepts of environmental bioindicators, biomonitoring systems, and other concepts related to phthalate contamination in the aquatic environment are presented. Recent bioaccumulation data of different phthalates are summarised in a table and organised according to the type of organism, tissue, and geographical area of sampling. Bioindicator organisms that are more representative of the different phthalates are highlighted and discussed as along with other variables that may be relevant in the assessment of the environmental pollution of these substances. The final part looks at the environmental perspectives and suggests new directions and research objectives to be achieved in the future.

A review of phathalates in water: A toxic threat to aquatic life
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the aquatic toxicity of phthalate ester plasticizers across microorganisms, algae, invertebrates, and fish, finding that lower-molecular-weight phthalates are the most harmful and that these ubiquitous plastic additives pose broad ecological risks to aquatic ecosystems.
Validated Method for the Detection of Three Phthalates Derived from Marine Invertebrates
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers validated an analytical method for detecting three phthalate plasticizers in marine invertebrates, confirming that these common plastic additives accumulate in coastal shellfish. Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and their presence in seafood has implications for human dietary exposure via microplastic-contaminated marine organisms.
