Occurrence and effects of plastic additives on marine environments and organisms: A review. (2017, background): “Moreover, effluents from wastewater treatment plants are the major source of NP and NPE in the environment (Soares et al., 2008).”
Review of risk from potential emerging contaminants in UK groundwater. (2012, background): “Both the parent ethoxylates and their metabolites, alkyl phenols and carboxylic degradation products, persist in the aquatic environment (Montgomery-Brown and Reinhard, 2003; Soares et al., 2008).”
Microplastics in fisheries and aquaculture (2017, background): “The most common additives used in the fabrication processes and reported in macro- and microplastic debris collected in environmental surveys are phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), flame retardants (FRs), among which polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) represent the main group, and to a lesser extent”
Endocrine disruptors: from endocrine to metabolic disruption. (2011, background): “Alkylphenols such as 4n-nonylphenol and 4-n-octylphenol are surfactants widely used in detergents, emulsifiers, antistatic agents, demulsifiers, and solubilizers and are found commonly in wastewater (52).”
