  • What is the market share of plasticizer phthalates?
  • The substitution of the formerly dominant plasticizer DEHP (EU market share 1996: 51%; 2015: 10% [36, 58] has led to a fundamental shift in the market since the 1990s toward HMW phthalates , with a simultaneous steady growth in demand for soft PVC [59, 74].
  • Do non-phthalates contribute to plasticizer burden in aquatic environments?
  • Recent investigations on plasticizer levels in sediments from non-industrial coastal areas in Korea are in good agreement with our data and confirm a low proportion of non-phthalates (3–10%) of the total plasticizer burden in aquatic environments [78, 85]. DINP and DEHP were the main phthalates.
  • Why are phthalate plasticizers banned in the EU?
  • The use of some phthalate plasticizers has been successively restricted in the EU since the late 1990s due to their endocrine disrupting (ED) properties, especially in sensitive applications for humans, such as baby products, children's toys, cosmetics and food packaging [31, 33, 34, 35].
  • What are the risks of phthalates in microplastics?
  • For human exposure, DEHP, DBP, and DiBP show high exposure risks. Phthalates in microplastics will continue to leach into the ocean. With global warming, the release of phthalates from microplastics will increase in nearshore environments with rising water temperatures. Phthalates are widely used as plasticizers in plastic production.
  • Are phthalates still used in plasticizers?
  • Phthalates still represent the majority in the European plasticizer market, at around 60% . However, since the end of the 1990s there has been a steady shift within the phthalate plasticizers from LMW phthalates toward HMW phthalates . LMW phthalates are characterized by up to six carbon atoms in the main chain .
  • What is plasticizer phthalate?
  • Plasticizer phthalate is a pollutant. Its teratogenic or carcinogenic effects on human. Phytotoxic effects of phthalate and its transmission through food chain. Abatement of phthalate via bioremediation. Microbe-mediated soil-phthalate bioaugmentation approaches.
