  • Are there phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers in the coastal environment of Korea?
  • Conclusions This is the first nation-wide survey of phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers in the coastal environment of Korea. Phthalates and alternative plasticizers were detected in all sediment samples from the coastal zone of Korea. DEHP and DEHT were the dominant phthalates and NPPs, respectively.
  • What are non phthalate plasticizers?
  • DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate plasticizers are shown below.
  • Are phthalate plasticizers contaminating the environment?
  • DEHA and DEHT were detected in almost all sediment samples (detection rate: 98%), also suggesting major contamination by non-phthalate plasticizers. The occurrence of phthalates in the environment is related to production and consumption in industrial markets ( Gao and Wen, 2016 ).
  • Are phthalates a plasticizer?
  • Phthalates are representative plasticizers used in a variety of commercial and industrial applications since the 1930s ( Sun et al., 2013Net et al., 2015aLi et al., 2017Mi et al., 2019 ).
  • Do phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers pose ecological risk to benthic organisms?
  • Given the occurrence of phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers, including DEHP, further studies are required to identify the contamination sources and assess the ecological risk to benthic organisms posed by these contaminants in coastal environments.

  • Are phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers found in coastal sediment?
  • Korea is the world's largest consumer of plastic, with increasing production and consumption ( European Plastics and Rubber Machinery, 2016 ). The present study assesses the occurrence, spatial distribution, and potential contamination sources of phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers in coastal sediment from Korean coastal waters.
