A global meta-analysis of phthalate esters in drinking water sources and associated health risks

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 903, P. 166846 - 166846

Phthalate esters (PAEs) are known as of phthalic acid, which commonly used plasticizers in the plastic industry. Due to lack chemical bonding with polymer matrix, these compounds easily separated from products and enter environment. To investigate growth concentration PAEs like DBP (Dibutyl phthalate), DEP (Diethyl DMP (Dimethyl DIBP (Diisobutyl TPMBP (tris(2-methylbutyl) phosphate) different water sources, a study January 01, 1976, April 30, 2021, was implemented via global systematic review plus meta-analysis which, 109 articles comprising 4061 samples, 4 types, 27 countries were included. Between various types river lake most contaminated resources PAEs. Among all studies PAEs, values >15,573 mg L−1 have highest average value 0.002885 has lowest sources.

Additives of plastics: Entry into the environment and potential risks to human and ecological health

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 348, P. 119364 - 119364

Published: Oct. 21, 2023

A steep rise in global plastic production and significant discharge of waste are expected the near future. Plastics pose a threat to ecosystem human health through generation particulate plastics that act as carriers for other emerging contaminants, release toxic chemical additives. Since additives not covalently bound, they can freely leach into environment. Due their occurrence various environmental settings, exert ecotoxicity. However, only 25% have been characterized potential ecological concern. Despite market statistics highlighting substantial burden caused by unrestricted use additives, information on ecotoxicity remains incomplete. By focusing impacts present review aims provide detailed insights following aspects: (i) diversity environment, (ii) leaching from materials, (iii) trophic transfer, (iv) exposure, (v) risks health, (vi) legal guidelines mitigation strategies. These immense value restricting searching eco-friendly alternatives, establishing or revising agencies.

Effects of UV radiation on natural and synthetic materials

Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 22(5), P. 1177 - 1202

Published: April 11, 2023

Abstract The deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation on construction materials, especially wood and plastics, the consequent impacts their useful lifetimes, are well documented in scientific literature. Any future increase UV ambient temperature due to climate change will therefore shorten service lifetimes which require higher levels stabilisation or other interventions maintain at present levels. implementation Montreal Protocol its amendments substances that deplete ozone layer, controls UV-B received Earth. This current quadrennial assessment provides a comprehensive update durability natural synthetic as recent innovations better stabilising materials against radiation-induced damage.

Worldwide risk assessment of phthalates and bisphenol A in humans: The need for updating guidelines

Environment International, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 181, P. 108294 - 108294

Published: Oct. 28, 2023

Phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) are compounds widely used as raw materials in the production of plastics, making them ubiquitous our daily lives. This results widespread human exposure health hazards. Although efforts have been conducted to evaluate risk these diverse regions around world, data scattering may mask important trends that could be useful for updating current guidelines regulations. study offers a comprehensive global assessment levels chemicals, considering dietary nondietary ingestion, evaluates associated risk. Overall, intake (EDI) values phthalates BPA reported worldwide ranged from 1.11 × 10−7 3 700 µg kg bw−1 d−1 3.00 10−5 6.56 d−1, respectively. Nevertheless, dose-additive effect has shown increase EDI up 5 100 representing high terms noncarcinogenic (HQ) carcinogenic (CR) effects.

Moreover, DEHP highest maximum mean humans numerous studies, 179-fold higher than BBP. Despite mounting evidence harmful effects chemicals at low-dose on animals humans, most regulations not updated. Thus, this article emphasizes need public policies compelling adverse exposure, it cautions against use alternative plasticizers substitutes because gaps their safety.
