  • How many chemicals can be used as plasticizers?
  • There are about 30 000 chemicals can potentially be utilized as plasticizers. (1) Phthalate plasticizers are a commonly utilized compound, comprising up to 85% of the total plasticizers in the market.
  • Are emerging/alternative plasticizers harmful?
  • Various emerging/alternative plasticizers entered the market following the ban on several phthalate plasticizers because of their harmful effects. However, there are limited data (especially peer-reviewed) on emerging plasticizers’ toxicity and environmental impact.
  • Are emerging plasticizers a regrettable substitution?
  • This review compiles available data on toxicity, exposure, environmental effects, and safe production of emerging plasticizers. It identifies gaps in scientific research and provides evidence that emerging plasticizers are potential cases of regrettable substitution.
  • Are plastic additive remediation strategies effective?
  • Despite the growing interest in plastic additives, most studies have focused on the hazards, migratory releases, and ecological risks of plastic additives, and no study has yet discussed plastic additive remediation strategies in details (Table 1). Abiotic and biotic treatment are two feasible and effective remediation strategies.
  • Can plastic additives be converted into nonhazardous compounds?
  • Tenacious and harmful plastic additives can be converted into nonhazardous compounds or completely mineralized into inorganic salts, water, and carbon dioxide through advanced oxidation processes (Gayathri et al., 2023).
  • Can abiotic methods reduce plastic additives?
  • Abiotic methods can often rapidly and efficiently reduce the concentration of contaminants, e.g., advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can significantly reduce the levels of plastic additives in a short period of time (Yang et al., 2020). However, these methods are costly and may not be favorable for large-scale applications (Bilal et al., 2019).
