• Environmental and health hazard ranking and assessment of plastic polymers based on chemical composition. (2011, background): “Full conversion of the breakdown products into carbon dioxide, water and inorganic molecules (mineralisation) by photo- and biodegradation (Gregory and Andrady, 2003), is for most polymers extremely slow (Innocenti, 2003).”
• Synthetic polymers in the marine environment: a rapidly increasing, long-term threat. (2008, background): “According to Andrady (2003) ‘‘y plasticizers tend to migrate slowly to the surface of the product and can therefore enter the environment or come into human contact.”
