Summary

This review examines harmful plastic additives including DEHP, MEHP, BPA, and PCBs, synthesizing toxicity test findings to assess their adverse effects on ecosystems and living organisms across environmental compartments.

Pollution or the impact of plastics on the environment is one of today's global problems, and has been known since ancient times. Due to its wide use, plastic can be found in almost all components of the environment, where it can adversely affect living organisms. Plastic, despite its convenience, contains harmful chemicals, i.e., additives such as bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), bisphenol A (BPA), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), and others. This paper provides an overview of research into the harmful effects of additives on the ecosystem based on various toxicity tests.
