The Origin of Phthalates in Algae: Biosynthesis and Environmental Bioaccumulation

Environments, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(4), P. 78 - 78

Published: April 11, 2024

Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are a class of ubiquitous and dangerous lipophilic chemicals widely used as additives in various products to improve their physical chemical properties. Although they have been banned many countries, persistence all environmental compartments is particular concern. The aquatic environment especially affected by these compounds because it strongly influenced both contamination anthropic origin natural contaminants including those produced biosynthetically some organisms such algae. In this context, algal can be source remedy for phthalate pollution. Both the increase decrease uptake production depend on physicochemical characteristics environment. dynamics processes aimed at achieving an optimal state competitiveness balance cellular homeostasis. This review summarizes studies dealing with biosynthesis bioaccumulation phthalates algae investigates suggesting strategies identify process leading presence.

Analyzing exposure risks in warehousing due to the presence of phthalate contamination

International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 8

Published: March 3, 2025

Phthalate esters (PAEs) are widely used in plastic consumer products and many studies published to date have associated these chemicals with severe human health problems. Particularly, the risks within warehouses, which involve large quantities of PAE sources stored closed spaces, not been addressed. This article presents an integrated inventory control model determine periods supply cycle where concentrations PAEs likely represent a risk for warehouse personnel. considers dynamic aspect consumption mechanisms, links it release patterns environments depend on type materials, temperature time. Numerical analysis corroborates that, certain time, can exceed permissible levels humans, thus use appropriate protective wear decontamination procedures should be established.

A best practice framework for assessing plastic ingestion in marine turtles

Marine Pollution Bulletin, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 216, P. 117944 - 117944

Published: April 14, 2025

The ingestion of plastic debris has been reported in all seven marine turtle species, affecting vital processes throughout their entire life cycle and key habitats. Consequently, this emerging threat recognized as a priority conservation concern. potential health impacts range from cryptic sublethal effects to severe injury death. A comprehensive understanding these the involved, at both individual population levels, is crucial for evaluating vulnerability turtles pollution. Aiming guide researchers stakeholders initial stages project development, study discusses essential components establishing achieving research on turtles. Drawing diverse efforts globally, manuscript compiles most common approaches established methodologies, while resource availability capabilities, outline globally applicable best practice framework designing implementing monitoring initiatives

Heatwave conditions increase the toxicity of phthalates in marine organisms

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 979, P. 179479 - 179479

Published: April 25, 2025

Climate change- driven marine heatwaves are major risk for organisms already facing other anthropogenic hazards, such as chemical contamination in coastal areas. In this study we analyzed the impacts of and phthalic acid esters (PAEs) pollution single combined stressors on development sea urchin Arbacia lixula. We tested whether temperature suggested optimal (24 °C) thermophilus species would enhance tolerance to PAEs compared that showed under ambient (18 °C). Embryo-larval bioassays were conducted exposures two temperatures (control: 18 °C, heatwave condition: 24 ten concentrations 0 mg L-1; treated: range 0.1-50 L-1) all combinations. Ecotoxicological responses investigated at three functional levels: i) exposure-response relationships, finding exposure increased PAEs- induced toxicity mortality rates with an EC50 lower by 76 %; ii) morphological, abnormality stunted skeleton growth; iii) biochemical, showing was main driver modulation activity stress response enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, esterase peroxidase). show conditions negatively impacted embryos decreased their PAEs. Our results indicate °C is not A. lixula from southwestern Mediterranean highlight assays based just one biological level or stressor can be misleading deduce health risks thermal optimum, indicating need more integrative approaches.

Bisphenol A analysis and quantification inconsistencies via HPLC-UV: a systematic review with technical notes

Deleted Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 6(4)

Published: March 26, 2024

Abstract Bisphenol A is an organic compound utilized in the manufacture of plastics and resins that gained attention due to its environmental distribution endocrine disrupting effects. Currently, bisphenol listed as toxic most countries, it persists waters, soils, air around world, hence need for well-established methods detection. The aim this paper conduct a systematic review existing open-access literature, examining extent which determination quantification was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with UV detector (HPLC-UV), probably prevalent analytical-grade equipment research facilities. We searched electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web Science), including our analysis 55 original articles met designated criteria from total 3665 records. screening revealed multiple approaches detection via HPLC-UV; 47.27% literature on topic dedicated development new purification, extraction or preconcentration BPA large variety samples. It also observed detectors were set wavelengths do not comply specific peaks phenolic compounds. Therefore, linearity these questioned technical note comprising spectroscopic HPLC-UV measurements provided, clarifying nonconformities. Results showed studies could maintain their reliability when different are used, but careful approach should be considered referring spectrum ranges 200–205 296–300 nm (depending solvent used) because peak shifts issues.
