“…(2015) only focused their work on nonylphenol and did not study PE1 and PE2 479 compositions in terms of other additive contents. This study demonstrated that exposing fish 480 to two identical plastic polymers (PE) may result in drastically different outcomes, as the 481 plastic additives incorporated in each plastics are dependent on the plastic manufacturer and 482 most of the time, their exact compositions remain unknown (Hamlin et al, 2015). Studies are 483 required to explore potential differences between plastics from different manufacturers and 484 toxicity related to the diversity of chemicals used in the plastic industry.…”

“…However, the toxicity highlighted in these five experiments was not attributed 468 additives in order to identify the compound or its degradation products responsible for the 472 observed toxicity. For instance, a more recent leaching study focused on the effects of 473 nonylphenol on the coral reef fish Pseudochromis fridmani by exposing single fish to the 474 leachate of plastic bags made of two PE (PE1 and PE2) from different manufacturers for 48h 475 (Hamlin et al, 2015). Nonylphenol leached in the water at higher concentrations for PE2 than 476 for PE1; with respectively 41.0 ± 5.5 and 2.5 ± 0.2 µg L -1 , and 60% and 11% of the fish died 477 31/45 after 48 hours of exposure to leachates from PE2 and PE1, respectively.…”

Occurrence and effects of plastic additives on marine environments and organisms: A review

Plastics debris, especially microplastics, have been found worldwide in all marine compartments. Much research has been carried out on adsorbed pollutants on plastic pieces and hydrophobic organic compounds (HOC) associated with microplastics. However, only a few studies have focused on plastic additives. These chemicals are incorporated into plastics from which they can leach out as most of them are not chemically bound. As a consequence of plastic accumulation and fragmentation in oceans, plastic additives could represent an increasing ecotoxicological risk for marine organisms. The present work reviewed the main class of plastic additives identified in the literature, their occurrence in the marine environment, as well as their effects on and transfers to marine organisms. This work identified polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), phthalates, nonylphenols (NP), bisphenol A (BPA) and antioxidants as the most common plastic additives found in marine environments. Moreover, transfer of these plastic additives to marine organisms has been demonstrated both in laboratory and field studies. Upcoming research focusing on the toxicity of microplastics should include these plastic additives as potential hazards for marine organisms, and a greater focus on the transport and fate of plastic additives is now required considering that these chemicals may easily leach out from plastics.

“…Metals such as Zn and Pb are used in PVC as heat stabilizers, and Lithner et al (2012) measured Zn concentrations in the leachates of PVC gloves high enough to explain at least in part their toxicity to D. magna. Finally, Hamlin et al (2015) observed that 2 similar products (food-grade polyethylene) differed in the toxicity of their leachates to fish, and this was related to the differential leaching of nonylphenol into the seawater. In the Tier II particle trial ( Figure 3B), PVC resin particles < 20 mm were innocuous to the copepod larvae up to 10 mg L À1 , the maximum concentration tested.…”

A 2‐tier standardized protocol was designed to test the toxicity of microplastics to planktonic organisms. This approach uses sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) and copepod (Acartia clausi) larvae because they are common biological models in marine research, and standard methods for toxicity testing with regulatory applications are available. In Tier I, leachates obtained at a 100 to 1 liquid to solid ratio are tested, and toxic units are calculated using a probit dose–response model to quantify the toxicity of the plastics. In Tier II, which is conducted only if significant toxicity (> 1 toxic unit) is found in Tier I, particles less than 20 μm in size are tested at concentrations between 0.1 and 10 mg L−1, and a toxicity threshold suitable for ranking materials according to their toxicity is obtained from the 10% effect concentration (EC10) values. Results point to chemical additives as being responsible for the toxicity found in certain plastic materials. This process is suitable for both a priori identification of the hazard posed by plastic objects in the aquatic environment, and a posteriori assessment of environmental risk caused by microplastic pollution. The method also provides a quantitative procedure appropriate for ranking plastic materials according to their toxicity to aquatic organisms. Environ Toxicol Chem 2019;38:630–637. © 2018 SETAC

The occurrence and impacts of plastic are among the most concerns on the environment, ecosystems, and human health in recent years. Plastic products may contain harmful additives (e.g. phthalate, bisphenol) which can easily be leached out of the surface of the plastic materials and enter the environment causing negative effects on organisms in aquatic ecosystems. However, the toxicity of the leached plastic additives on aquatic organisms including micro-crustaceans have not been fully understood. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the chronic effects of the leachate from the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) water pipes at the concentration of 0, 10 and 100 mg PVC/L on the survival and reproduction of two micro-crustacean species: Daphnia magna, and Ceriodaphnia cornuta. The results showed that the leachate from PVC pipes at the concentration of 100 mg/L did not adversely affect on survival and reproduction of D. magna, but reduced up to 50% of the survival rate and 60% of the reproduction of C. cornuta. The tropical micro-crustacean species C. cornuta was more vulnerable than the temperate one, D. magna. The results revealed the potential health risks of the PVC water pipes C. cornuta was recommended to be used as a model organism for the toxicological investigation and environmental assessment.
