“…Wei et al [ 74 ] determined the PAEs levels in samples from soil and vegetables, and the levels varied from 5.42 to 1580 ng/g and from 10.9 to 16,400 ng/g dry weight, respectively. In addition, for surface waters, Liu et al [ 75 ] studied the impact of microplastics and levels of PAEs in surface seawater by solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by GC-MS, and the concentrations obtained varied from 129.96 ng/L to 921.22 ng/L, while recovery ranged from 84 to 101%. Nagorka and Koschorreck [ 76 ] investigated phthalates in suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples from 2000 until 2017.…”

“…Table 2 summarizes the extraction techniques adopted in the last three years to analyze PAEs in environmental and food matrices. It is possible to observe that the most common extraction techniques used to extract phthalates from environmental and food samples are LLE [ 62 , 63 , 64 , 71 , 74 , 76 , 77 , 89 , 91 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 99 , 104 , 106 , 109 , 110 , 112 ], SPME [ 60 , 69 , 81 , 82 , 92 , 93 , 115 ], QuEChERS-dSPE [ 79 , 88 , 102 ], SPE [ 68 , 75 ], and soxhlet [ 100 , 101 , 114 ].…”

“…Nonetheless, the PAEs have also been determined using apolar fused-silica capillary columns coated with 5%-phenyl(1%-vinyl)-methylpolysiloxane (SE-54) [ 61 , 78 , 87 ]. Conventionally, flame ionization detector (FID) was applied to determine PAEs in sediments [ 65 , 97 ], waters [ 59 , 115 , 117 ] and foods [ 93 ], but FID has been replaced by MS detector due to its specificity and high sensitivity [ 60 , 63 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 75 , 87 , 94 , 105 , 108 , 114 , 125 ]. In the case of GC-MS, it is crucial to use an internal standard (IS) to promote a more accurate quantification of phthalates in a diversity of samples.…”

Phthalates are a group of chemicals used in a multitude of important industrial products (e.g., medical devices, children’s toys, and food packages), mainly as plasticizers to improve mechanical properties such as flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The wide occurrence of phthalates in many consumer products, including foods (e.g., bottled water, soft drinks, wine, milk, and meat) brings that most people are exposed to phthalates every day, which raises some concerns. Adverse health outcomes from phthalates exposure have been associated with endocrine disruption, deformities in the human reproductive system, increased risk of preterm birth, carcinogen exposure, among others. Apprehension related to the health risks and ubiquitous incidence of phthalates in foods inspires the development of reliable analytical approaches that allow their detection and quantification at trace levels. The purpose of the current review is to provide information related to the presence of phthalates in the food chain, highlighting the health risks associated with their exposure. Moreover, an overview of emerging extraction procedures and high-resolution analytical approaches for a comprehensive quantification of phthalates is presented.

“…A recent study in this regard has shown that the slow release of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-pphenylenediamine) (6PPD), a globally used tire rubber antioxidant, is most likely to blame for the acute mortality in adult coho salmon on the US west coast [88]. Phthalates are also often associated with microplastics as with plastics in general [87] [89]. Also of interest to the evaluation of wastewater treatment plants is that it has been estimated that 1400 -2800 tons per year of TWP are currently deposited on agricultural areas.…”

“…The disintegration or decomposition of plastic waste generates secondary waste known as microplastics (MPs), whose average size is less than 5 mm and more than 50 μm, from the combination of chemical, physical, biological, and thermal degradation. Owing to the small size and high specific surface area of MPs, estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EEDCs), such as PAEs, BPA, and NP, are easily absorbed or exist on/in MPs [ 9 , 10 ]. MPs release or generate potential toxic substances, particularly for their size and MP-bounded chemicals in natural aquatic environments [ 9 ].…”

Due to the sparsity in knowledge, we investigated the presence of various estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EEDCs), including phthalates (PAEs), bisphenol-A (BPA), and nonylphenol (NP), as well as microplastics (MPs) in samples of the most widely consumed fish collected from different estuaries in northern Taiwan. We then proceeded to determine the likely contribution that this exposure has on the potential for health impacts in humans following consumption of the fish. Six hundred fish caught from five river estuaries (producing 130 pooled samples) were analyzed to determine how different factors (such as the river, benthic, pelagic, and migratory species) influence EEDCs’ contamination and the possible impacts on human health following typical consumption patterns. The predominant EEDCs was diethyl phthalates (DEP), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalates (DEHP), and di-iso-nonylphthalate (DINP) in fish, present at 52.9 ± 77.3, 45.3 ± 79.8, and 42.5 ± 79.3 ng/g dry weight (d.w.), respectively. Residual levels of NP, BPA, and MPs in the fish were 17.4 ± 29.1 and 1.50 ± 2.20 ng/g d.w. and 0.185 ± 0.338 mg/g d.w., respectively. EEDCs and MPs levels varied widely among the five river estuaries sampled due, in part, to differences in habitat types and the associated diversity of fish species sampled. For DEP, the Lao-Jie River and pelagic environments produced the most severely contaminated fish species, respectively. DEP residues were also associated with the burden of MPs in the fish. Based on our analysis, we predict no substantial direct human health risk by EEDCs based on typical consumption rates of estuarine fish by the Taiwanese people. However, other sources of EEDC exposure cannot be ignored.
