ClearThe Problem of Phthalate Occurrence in Aquatic Environment
This review surveys phthalate contamination in aquatic environments, covering analytical quantification methods, toxicity data, and sources of phthalate pollution. It highlights phthalates as plastic additives that leach into water from plastic products, posing risks to aquatic organisms and human health.
Environmental Aspect Concerning Phthalates Contamination: Analytical Approaches and Assessment of Biomonitoring in the Aquatic Environment
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.
Unpacking Phthalates from Obscurity in the Environment
This review traces how advances in analytical chemistry have brought phthalates, a group of plastic additives, from relative obscurity to recognition as widespread environmental contaminants. Phthalates leach easily from plastic products because they are not chemically bound to the polymer, and they are now categorized as endocrine-disrupting chemicals with potential links to organ damage. The study discusses the evolving methods for detecting phthalates in complex environmental and biological samples.
Occurrence, Fate, Behavior and Ecotoxicological State of Phthalates in Different Environmental Matrices
This review examines the widespread presence of phthalates, chemicals commonly added to plastics to increase flexibility, across air, water, soil, and food. Researchers found that phthalates are detected virtually everywhere in the environment and have been linked to reproductive, developmental, and hormonal effects in laboratory studies. The study highlights that indoor air represents a particularly significant source of human exposure since people spend the majority of their time indoors surrounded by plastic-containing products.
Plasticisers: A Potential Reproductive-toxicant for Humans
This review examines plasticizers, particularly phthalates and bisphenols, as reproductive toxicants in humans, summarizing evidence that these chemicals leach from plastics and disrupt endocrine function, affecting fertility and fetal development. The authors highlight the need for stricter regulation given widespread human exposure through food packaging, personal care products, and household items.
Phthalates and Their Impacts on Human Health
This review examines phthalates, chemicals widely used to make plastics flexible, and their harmful effects on human health as endocrine disruptors. Chronic exposure to phthalates has been linked to reproductive problems, developmental issues in children, and complications during pregnancy. Since phthalates are common additives in microplastics, understanding their toxicity is essential for assessing the full health risk of microplastic exposure.
The widely disregarded health risks posed by phthalates - A global call for action
This review highlights the widespread health risks posed by phthalates from microplastic-containing products, emphasizing their routes of human exposure through food, packaging, and personal care items, and their documented effects including oncogenicity and fetal developmental impacts. The authors call for urgent global regulatory action given the scale and severity of phthalate exposure.
Endocrine-Disrupting Compounds: An Overview on Their Occurrence in the Aquatic Environment and Human Exposure
This review examines how endocrine-disrupting compounds, including plastic-derived chemicals like phthalates and bisphenol A, accumulate in water sources worldwide. Researchers found these substances are now detectable even in drinking water, raising concerns about human exposure through the food chain. Several studies have linked exposure to these chemicals with reproductive and metabolic health issues, though more research is needed to fully understand the risks.
Solving the impact of Phthalate plasticizers in relieving environment pollution
This review examines how phthalate plasticizers—particularly DEHP, DEP, and DBP found in food packaging and cosmetics—enter soil and human bodies, where they disrupt metabolic and reproductive systems and contribute to environmental plastic pollution.
Emerging microextraction platforms for enhanced phthalic acid esters monitoring in food
Researchers reviewed recent advances in microextraction techniques for detecting phthalate plasticizers — endocrine-disrupting chemicals that leach from plastics into food — highlighting progress in green solvents and functional materials while flagging persistent challenges in reproducibility across complex food matrices and the need for better standardization.
Research Progress on the Correlation between Environmental Phthalate Exposure and Thyroid Hormone Level
This review examines how phthalate plasticizers — widely used in food packaging, toys, and medical supplies — disrupt thyroid hormone levels after environmental release, drawing on epidemiological and toxicological evidence linking phthalate exposure to thyroid dysfunction. The findings highlight phthalates as endocrine-disrupting chemicals with significant public health implications.
Microplastic pollution-A major health problem-An update
This review summarizes the current understanding of microplastic pollution as a health concern, covering how these tiny plastic particles enter the human body through inhalation and ingestion of contaminated food and beverages. The study discusses chemical additives found in plastics, including endocrine disruptors like bisphenol A and phthalates, which have been associated with various health effects. However, the authors note that the fate and effects of microplastics once inside the human body remain controversial and require further study.
Prevalence and Impact of Emerging Chemical Contaminants in the Life Style Products on Human Health
This review examines emerging chemical contaminants found in everyday consumer products, including plasticizers, flame retardants, and microplastics, assessing their prevalence and potential health risks from chronic low-level exposure.
A global meta-analysis of phthalate esters in drinking water sources and associated health risks
This meta-analysis examined phthalate levels — chemicals that leach from plastics — in drinking water sources around the world. Several phthalates exceeded safe limits in certain regions, posing potential health risks including hormone disruption and cancer, especially with long-term exposure.
Unveiling the Hidden Dangers of Plasticizers: A Call for Immediate Action
This review highlights the hidden health dangers of plasticizers -- chemicals added to plastics found in food containers, toys, cosmetics, and personal care items -- calling for immediate regulatory action given their widespread human exposure and evidence of endocrine disruption and other toxic effects.
Screening of phthalate and non-phthalate plasticizers and bisphenols in Sicilian women’s blood
Researchers screened blood samples from women in Sicily for plastic additives including phthalates, non-phthalate plasticizers, and bisphenols. Multiple compounds were detected in the blood of most participants, confirming widespread human internal exposure to chemicals that leach from plastics. Since many of these chemicals can act as hormone disruptors, the study underscores the importance of monitoring plastic-derived contaminants in people.
Consequences of Exposure to Phthalates, Micro Plastics and Nano-plastics on the Organisms
This review summarizes the toxic effects of microplastics, polystyrene, and phthalate plasticizers (BPA, DBP, DEHP) on vertebrates and invertebrates. These chemicals enter organisms through food, water, and air, causing hormonal disruption, reproductive harm, and other health effects across a wide range of species.
