“…Their effect on the human organism is mainly connected with their content in food products and cosmetic goods. A wide application of PEs in industry resulted in significant contamination of soil and inland water bodies in the countries of Europe and Asia as well as seas, and this allows the revision of the existing notion about the levels of PEs impact [82][83][84][85]. These substances are referred to the compounds with estrogen-like effect due to binding to estrogen receptors, they also are capable of competing with androgens for binding to a receptor [86].…”

At present, diseases of bones and joints stand third after cardiovascular and oncological pathologies which demands the necessity of searching for new etiological factors and pathogenetical mechanisms of these illnesses. The accumulating data show the association between the impairment of bone tissue development and regeneration and endocrine disruptor impact.Endocrine disruptors are chemical substances, mainly of anthropogenic origin, capable of affecting endocrine system functioning and interfering with organ morphogenesis and physiological functions. The development and regeneration of bone tissues have a complex hormonal regulation and therefore bone tissue cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts can be considered as potential targets for endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors have been established to be able to impair calcium metabolism which also contributes to the development of musculoskeletal system pathology.Data on histogenesis of bone tissue and regeneration, calcium metabolism as well as on hormonal regulation of bone growth and remodeling processes are presented in this work. Recent information on the effect of the main endocrine disruptor classes (diethylstilbestrol, organochlorine pesticides, alkylphenols, bisphenol A, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, and phthalic acid esters) on the development and remodeling of bone tissues and calcium metabolism has been summarized. The established physiological and molecular mechanisms of their action have been also considered.

“…Several conclusions have been made by different authors regarding the effect of seasonal effects on pollutant concentration in surface waters. For example, the study of Heo et al (2020) indicated that rainfall events typically dilute PAE concentrations in the seawater of the beaches. Huang et al (2015) reported that the effect of rainfall on the PAH concentrations in the Pearl River Estuary was insignificant due to the different contamination sources for these types of pollutants.…”

“…It has been concluded that the input of contaminants into the surface water environment depends on the physicochemical characteristics of the environment (soils, pH, rainfall level) and each pollutants' respective properties. Therefore, it is difficult to generalise about the conclusions (Heo 2020;Moreno-González et al 2013a;Moreno-González et al 2013b).…”

This paper evaluates for the first time the spatial distribution of a wide group of organic (phthalates, nitro, aliphatic, halogen, aromatic, phenol and amino compounds) and inorganic pollutants along the Liffey river in Dublin city. The work takes into account the effect of short-term weather conditions on the occurrence of these contaminants. The results showed that rainfall conditions affect the levels of pollutants along the river in the days following a rainfall event. In addition, the tributaries entering the river Liffey were not found to impact its water quality. In relation to organic pollutants, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2-nitrophenol and phthalate compounds were found in many water samples between concentrations of 0.21 and 2.17 μg L−1. On the other hand, dimethyl phthalate was present in certain samples at levels around 100 μg L−1. The levels of these contaminants in the river were lower than the toxicity values reported in the literature. Regarding inorganic pollutants, nitrates were detected from 0.59 to 6.81 mg L−1 increasing from upstream to downstream. Based on the chemical nature and applications of detected pollutants, the river contamination can be mainly related to agricultural, industrial activities as well as diffuse urban contributions. These vary with location within a short distance and have the potential to impact aquatic biodiversity as the chemical composition changes with rainfall events.

“…Owing to their growing economic and commercial interest, PEs are by far the most used synthetic organic chemicals in a large variety of products since 1930s (Wang et al, 2018;Heo et al, 2020). Global production of PEs is estimated at 6 to 8 million tons per annum (Seyoum and Pradhan, 2019) with utilization by various industrial companies sitting at more than 3 million tons (Zhang et al, 2021).…”

“…Global production of PEs is estimated at 6 to 8 million tons per annum (Seyoum and Pradhan, 2019) with utilization by various industrial companies sitting at more than 3 million tons (Zhang et al, 2021). These compounds are mainly used for enteric coatings of nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical pills, as viscosity controlling agents, emulsifying agents, lubricants, binders, gelling agents, stabilizers film formers, dispersants, and suspending agents but primarily as plasticizers (Ji et al, 2014;Wang B. et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2018;Heo et al, 2020;USEPA, 2021). They are generally added to plastic materials such as polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), at the composition of up to 60% by weight of the PEs, to improve the elasticity and extensibility of the polymers (Giuliani et al, 2020).…”

Phthalate esters (PEs) are by far the most produced and extensively used synthetic organic chemicals with notable applications in many industrial products such as vinyl upholstery, adhesives, food containers, packaging materials, printing inks, adhesives, cosmetics, paints, pharmaceuticals munitions, and insecticides among other. PEs have long been recognised as ubiquitous organic pollutants of prime environmental concern, with urbanisation amongst the main cause and source of these compounds. Due to their notoriety, these compounds are known to pose devastating effects to living organisms including humans. The presence of PEs and their metabolites in the aquatic ecosystems is of concern primarily due to their endocrine disrupting and carcinogenicity properties. Several research studies have reported prevalence, exposure pathways, toxicity, and impacts of PEs in aquatic ecosystems and humans. Their principal routes of exposure could be direct or indirect, of which the direct route include contact, eating, and drinking contaminated foods, and the indirect route constitute aerosols, leaching and other forms of environmental contamination. PEs find way into water systems through means such as effluent discharges, urban and agricultural land runoff, leaching from waste dumps and other diffuse sources. High-end instrumentation and improved methodologies on the other hand have resulted in increased ability to measure trace levels (μg/L) of PEs and their metabolites in different matrices and ecological compartments of water or aquatic ecosystems such as lakes, oceans, rivers, sediments, wetlands and drinking water samples. In light of the above, this article provides an informed and focused information on the prevalence of phthalate esters in aquatic systems and related effects on living organisms and humans. Furthermore, techniques that have enabled the extraction and analysis of these PEs in aquatic samples are also explained. Future research outlooks and needs are also highlighted in this manuscript. This information will be used to better understand their temporal and spatial distributions in the aquatic systems and aid in devising prudent means to curtail their ecological footprints.
