Occurrence, toxicity and risk assessment of plastic additives in Besos river, Spain

These APs range from C4 to C12 and are mostly high volume chemicals used as plasticizers, surfactants or lubricants (Cortina-Puig et al, 2014). It was expected in a first instance to detect them in river waters as a result of WWTP discharges and leaching from plastic materials.…”
