“…Phthalates are mostly lipophilic and are found in higher concentrations in fatty foods such as olive and other oils. DEHP and DBP were found at concentrations from 22 to 360 lg kg À1 and from 77 to 1643 lg kg À1 , respectively, in samples of commercial vegetable oils (Nanni et al, 2011). In a study by Cavaliere, Macchione, Sindona, and Tagarelli (2008), the concentrations of phthalates were determined to range from <LOD to 490 lg kg À1 for DBP, from <LOD to 4700 lg kg À1 for DEHP, from <LOD to 1750 lg kg À1 for BBP and <LOD for DEP and DOP.…”

“…Techniques such as solvent extraction and liquid-liquid extraction are traditionally applied to analyse plasticizers in food. Nanni et al (2011) presented a study in which solvent extraction was used to extract phthalates from vegetable oils. Xu et al (2014) used liquid-liquid extraction to analyse phthalates in juices and wines.…”

“…As globally used plasticizers, PAEs have aroused considerable public concern for several decades due to a number of associated environmental problems (Matsumoto et al 2008;Cai et al 2008b;Liu et al 2010b;Nanni et al 2011). Extensive use in industrial activity and daily life has resulted in their ubiquitous pollution to air, soils and waters, especially in China (Zeng et al 2009a, b).…”

The accumulation of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in soil and plants in agricultural land near an electronic waste recycling site in east China has become a great threat to the neighboring environmental quality and human health. Soil and plant samples collected from land under different utilization, including fallow plots, vegetable plots, plots with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) as green manure, fallow plots under long-term flooding and fallow plots under alternating wet and dry periods, together with plant samples from relative plots were analyzed for six PAE compounds nominated as prior pollutants by USEPA. In the determined samples, the concentrations of six target PAE pollutants ranged from 0.31-2.39 mg/kg in soil to 1.81-5.77 mg/kg in various plants (dry weight/ DW), and their bioconcentration factors (BCFs) ranged from 5.8 to 17.9. Health risk assessments were conducted on target PAEs, known as typical environmental estrogen analogs, based on their accumulation in the edible parts of vegetables. Preliminary risk assessment to human health from soil and daily vegetable intake indicated that DEHP may present a high-exposure risk on all ages of the population in the area by soil ingestion or vegetable consumption. The potential damage that the target PAE compounds may pose to human health should be taken into account in further comprehensive risk assessments in e-waste recycling sites areas. Moreover, alfalfa removed substantial amounts of PAEs from the soil, and its use can be considered a good strategy for in situ remediation of PAEs.

“…Gas chromatography (GC) is the most widely used method to determine PAEs, and is always combined with mass spectrometry (MS) (Ežerskis, Mork unas, Suman, & Simoneau, 2007;Nanni et al, 2011). High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is also a suitable method to determine PAEs Ma, Hashi, Ji, & Lin, 2010).…”
