“…Results from this study clearly demonstrated that human exposure calculated using the whole plant data was well below the reference doses for individual PAEs. However, given the extensive metabolism of PAEs to monoesters in both whole plants and plant cells, metabolites such as MPEs should be considered when assessing human exposure via consumption of vegetables grown in PAE-contaminated soils [ 219 , 239 , 240 ].…”

“…Chen et al investigated PAE contamination levels in vegetables both sold on the market and grown in greenhouses. Vegetables growing in greenhouse agriculture had higher DBP and DEHP content than those growing in open fields [ 240 ]. Moreover, there was more accumulation of PAEs in vegetables leaf compared to PAEs in soils.…”

“…In conclusion, the high detection frequency of PAEs in vegetables sold on the Chinese market indicates that exposure pathway of PAEs to humans through vegetable consumption should be of concern in cumulative risk assessments. A special attention should be given to individuals who work in greenhouses due to high DEHP concentration inside greenhouse air [ 240 ].…”

Phthalates are a huge class of chemicals with a wide spectrum of industrial uses, from the manufacture of plastics to food contact applications, children’s toys, and medical devices. People and animals can be exposed through different routes (i.e., ingestion, inhalation, dermal, or iatrogenic exposure), as these compounds can be easily released from plastics to water, food, soil, air, making them ubiquitous environmental contaminants. In the last decades, phthalates and their metabolites have proven to be of concern, particularly in products for pregnant women or children. Moreover, many authors reported high concentrations of phthalates in soft drinks, mineral waters, wine, oil, ready-to-eat meals, and other products, as a possible consequence of their accumulation along the food production chain and their accidental release from packaging materials. However, due to their different physical and chemical properties, phthalates do not have the same human and environmental impacts and their association to several human diseases is still under debate. In this review we provide an overview of phthalate toxicity, pointing out the health and legal issues related to their occurrence in several types of food and beverage.

“…Acrylate polymers used to maintain soil humidity damaged maize root and shoot development ( Chen et al, 2016 ). Organic compounds released from mulch polymers have been found to be absorbed by crop plants ( Du et al, 2009 ; Li et al, 2014c ; Chen N. et al, 2017 ). Given some of the demonstrated effects on plants, these additives may also impact soil microbes and their functions, though these effects are largely unexplored.…”

Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Films: Impacts on Soil Microbial Communities and Ecosystem Functions

et al. 2018

Agricultural plastic mulch films are widely used in specialty crop production systems because of their agronomic benefits. Biodegradable plastic mulches (BDMs) offer an environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional polyethylene (PE) mulch. Unlike PE films, which need to be removed after use, BDMs are tilled into soil where they are expected to biodegrade. However, there remains considerable uncertainty about long-term impacts of BDM incorporation on soil ecosystems. BDMs potentially influence soil microbial communities in two ways: first, as a surface barrier prior to soil incorporation, indirectly affecting soil microclimate and atmosphere (similar to PE films) and second, after soil incorporation, as a direct input of physical fragments, which add carbon, microorganisms, additives, and adherent chemicals. This review summarizes the current literature on impacts of plastic mulches on soil biological and biogeochemical processes, with a special emphasis on BDMs. The combined findings indicated that when used as a surface barrier, plastic mulches altered soil microbial community composition and functioning via microclimate modification, though the nature of these alterations varied between studies. In addition, BDM incorporation into soil can result in enhanced microbial activity and enrichment of fungal taxa. This suggests that despite the fact that total carbon input from BDMs is minuscule, a stimulatory effect on microbial activity may ultimately affect soil organic matter dynamics. To address the current knowledge gaps, long term studies and a better understanding of impacts of BDMs on nutrient biogeochemistry are needed. These are critical to evaluating BDMs as they relate to soil health and agroecosystem sustainability.

“…Several trace metals, including copper, cadmium, and lead, have been found in alcohol products, as well as benzene and various phthalates (Cao, 2010; Chatonnet, Boutou, & Plana, 2014; Pang, Li, Chen, Gao, & Han, 2017) that have become ubiquitous in the environment due to their persistent nature and widespread usage (Cao, 2010). It has been reported by the WHO that phthalates and related compounds have been detected in groundwater and treated tap water (WHO, 2003), and studies have additionally noted its presence in soil and plant samples (Müller & Kördel, 1993), as well as in agricultural products—including grapes (Chen et al., 2017; Gunther & Gunther, 2012). As such, it is possible that the initial raw materials contribute to the overall contaminant level to some extent.…”

The presence of chemical contaminant in alcoholic beverages is a widespread and notable problem with potential implications for human health. With the complexity and wide variation in the raw materials, production processes, and contact materials involved, there are a multitude of opportunities for a diverse host of undesirable compounds to make their way into the final product-some of which may currently remain unidentified and undetected. This review provides an overview of the notable contaminants (including pesticides, environmental contaminants, mycotoxins, process-induced contaminants, residues of food contact material [FCM], and illegal additives) that have been detected in alcoholic products thus far based on prior reviews and findings in the literature, and will additionally consider the potential sources for contamination, and finally discuss and identify gaps in current analytical strategies. The findings of this review highlight a need for further investigation into unwanted substances in alcoholic beverages, particularly concerning chemical migrants from FCMs, as well as a need for comprehensive nontargeted analytical techniques capable of determining unanticipated contaminants.
