Influence of habitats and physicochemical factors on trophic transfer processes of antibiotics in a freshwater ecosystem: Application of stable isotopes and human health risks

Global environmental and toxicological data of emerging plasticizers: current knowledge, regrettable substitution dilemma, green solution and future perspectives

“…135,140,145,[151][152][153][154] Bioaccumulation and trophic transfer are important criteria for evaluating ecological and health risks. [155][156][157] There are a few field studies on bioaccumulation and trophic transfer (biomagnification) of phosphate esters. [158][159][160][161] It is also worth noting that the limited research on phosphate ester bioaccumulation and biomagnification has shown mixed results.…”

“…Emerging plasticizers, as with phthalates, are not chemically bonded to the polymer and can easily be released into the environment, 56 leading to a similar “pseudo-persistence” as in legacy phthalates and antibiotics. 57,58 Release of plasticizers from products may occur over varying temporal scales ( e.g. , months, years, or decades) and be transported to multi-environmental matrices (air, water, soil, and biota), ultimately leading to human exposure via multiple routes, namely inhalation, absorption, and ingestion 2 (Fig.…”
