Plastic contamination in the decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus (Linnaeus, 1758). (2011, background): “Phthalates, commonly used plasticisers, are known endocrine disrupters in humans (Talsness et al., 2009) and are known to leach from plastics.”
Plastics Derived Endocrine Disruptors (BPA, DEHP and DBP) Induce Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance of Obesity, Reproductive Disease and Sperm Epimutations (2013, background): “mixture of plastic derived compounds was selected due to the common exposures in human populations such as military personnel [6].”
Ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on biota: a review (2018, background): “Apart from the potential physical impacts of ingested microplastics, adverse health effects could also arise from leaching constituent contaminants such as monomers and plastic additives, capable of causing carcinogenesis and endocrine disruption (Oehlmann et al. 2009; Talsness et al. 2009).”

Applications and societal benefits of plastics (2009, background): “The potential adverse health issues associated with the use of specific additives, such as phthalate plasticizers, have been raised (for recent reviews, see Koch & Calafat 2009; Meeker et al. 2009; Oehlmann et al. 2009; Talsness et al. 2009).”
Understanding How Microplastics Affect Marine Biota on the Cellular Level Is Important for Assessing Ecosystem Function: A Review (2019, background): “Concerns of marine organism-derived microplastic and human health were extensively reviewed when microplastics began emerging as a potential threat to ecosystems (Thompson et al. 2009b; Talsness et al. 2009).”
Plastic marine debris: Sources, distribution and impacts on coastal and ocean biodiversity (2016, background): “Toxicity could also arise from leaching constituent contaminants such as monomers and plastic additives, capable of causing carcinogenesis and endocrine disruption (Talsness et al., 2009).”
Microplastics in freshwater systems: A review on occurrence, environmental effects, and methods for microplastics detection. (2017, background): “Some studies confirmed that such additives as bisphenol A, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, tetrabromobisphenol A and phthalates are present in humans (Talsness et al., 2009).”
