• Applications and societal benefits of plastics (2009, neutral): “For example consider Lynch et al. (1999), Hext et al.”
• Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Aquatic Environments: Challenges and Threats to Aquatic Organisms (2020, background): “microplastics may increase the effects of chemical contaminants in marine organisms including fish [95, 108, 109].”
• Deleterious Effects of Litter on Marine Life (2015, background): “The potential deleterious effects from ingestion, have heightened the urgency to evaluate the impact of plastics on the whole marine food chain and, ultimately, the consequences for humans as end consumers (Koch and Calafat 2009; UNEP 2011; Galloway 2015).”
• Our plastic age (2009, background): “‘Studies also are needed to identify the phthalate metabolites and BPA species relevant to human health, paying special attention to potentially vulnerable segments of the population (e.g. children, women of reproductive age, minorities)’ (Koch & Calafat 2009).”
• A critical analysis of the biological impacts of plasticizers on wildlife (2009, background): “…environmental pollutants, are also a much neglected area of study, and given that there are likely to be additive effects, this warrants investigations to assess more accurately their impacts in the environment (see discussion in Koch & Calafat 2009; Teuten et al. 2009; Thompson et al. 2009b).”
• Plastic contamination in the decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus (Linnaeus, 1758). (2011, background): “, 2009), to be endocrine disrupters in humans (Koch and Calafat, 2009) and are potentially carcinogenic (Talsness et al.”
• Assessing exposure to phthalates - the human biomonitoring approach. (2011, neutral): “5cx-MEPP can be detected in literally all urine samples from the general population at the highest concentration of all DEHP metabolites and furthermore exhibits the longest half-live of elimination (415h) [129, 143].”
