• The complex interaction between marine debris and toxic chemicals in the ocean. (2012, background): “125 − 128 Phthalates have fairly low bioconcentration factors, 124 so the human body burdens reported by Oehlmann et al. 125 are likely due to a variety of exposures other than just fi sh ingestion, 124,129 tives), such as tris(4-nonylphenyl) phosphite (TNPP).”
• Occurrence and effects of plastic additives on marine environments and organisms: A review. (2017, background): “As they are not chemically bound to the polymermatrix, they can leach into the surrounding environment (Engler, 2012; Meeker et al., 2009) with an exception for TBBPA which is chemically bound to the polymer (Morris et al., 2004).”
• Endocrine disruptors: from endocrine to metabolic disruption. (2011, background): “How do we establish the most pertinent and effective modes of risk evaluation not only for the present but also for any future compound released to consumers? From the research point of view, recent years have witnessed many efforts to set up new technologies for EDC detection in human tissues, incl”
• Our plastic age (2009, background): “‘. . . small changes in hormone levels resulting from exposure may be of public health importance when considering the prevalence of exposure to plastic additives and endocrine disrupting compounds among entire populations’ (Meeker et al. 2009).”
• Plastics, the environment and human health: current consensus and future trends (2009, background): “The central issue here is relating the types and quantities of additives present in plastics to uptake and accumulation by living organisms (Andrady & Neal 2009; Koch & Calafat 2009; Meeker et al. 2009; Oehlmann et al. 2009; Talsness et al. 2009; Wagner & Oehlmann 2009).”
• House Dust Concentrations of Organophosphate Flame Retardants in Relation to Hormone Levels and Semen Quality Parameters (2009, background): “…pentaBDE and octaBDE) have been banned or voluntarily phased out in the United States and many parts of the world because of their persistence, bio accumulation, and evidence for adverse health effects including endocrine disruption and altered fetal develop ment (Meeker et al. 2009a, 2009b).”
• Transport and release of chemicals from plastics to the environment and to wildlife (2009, background): “Reviews of human and wildlife exposure to plastics additives are also available in this volume (Koch & Calafat 2009; Meeker et al. 2009; Oehlmann et al. 2009).”
