Appraisal of the Temporospatial Migration and Potential Ecotoxicity of Phthalic Acid Esters in Municipal Effluents, Rivers and Dam—A Catchment-Wide Assessment
Abstract:Herein, the catchment-wide temporal dynamics and potential ecotoxicological risk of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in aquatic ecosystems were assessed. Specifically, water samples were collected for a period of six consecutive months from seven selected sites, i.e., covering both dry and wet seasons for seasonal variabilities. The appraised PAEs comprised dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), benzylbutyl phthalate (BBP), diphenyl phthalate (DPP), di-n-hexyl phthalate (DHP)… Show more
