An efficient phthalate ester-degrading Bacillus subtilis: Degradation kinetics, metabolic pathway, and catalytic mechanism of the key enzyme.

Environmental Pollution, 2021
Phthalate ester pollution in the environment and food chain is frequently reported. Microbial treatment is a green and efficient method for solving this problem.

Remediation strategies for mitigation of phthalate pollution: Challenges and future perspectives.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2020
Phthalates are a group of emerging xenobiotic compounds commonly used as plasticizers. In recent times, there has been an increasing concern over the risk of phthalate exposure leading to adverse effects to human health and the environment. Therefore, it

Interactions between microplastics and phthalate esters as affected by microplastics characteristics and solution chemistry.

Chemosphere, 2019
Microplastics have become a major concern in recent years as they can be recognized as the transport vectors for pollutants in environment. In this study, the sorption behavior of two phthalate esters (PAEs), including diethyl phthalate (DEP) and dibutyl

Phthalate exposure and risk of diabetes mellitus: Implications from a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Environmental Research, 2021
BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies indicated that phthalate exposure might be associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, discrepancies existed. The link between phthalate exposure and risk of DM remained unclarified.

Phthalate pollution: environmental fate and cumulative human exposure index using the multivariate analysis approach.

Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, 2021
A comprehensive review was performed on the environmental fate, environmental occurrence, toxicity, physical-chemical properties, abiotic and biotic removal and degradation of phthalate esters (PAEs) to compute the overall phthalate exposure and their ...

Hazard to the developing male reproductive system from cumulative exposure to phthalate esters—dibutyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, butylbenzyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate, dipentyl phthalate, and diisononyl phthalate

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2009
Phthalate esters are found in a wide variety of consumer and food packing products. Hence there is widespread exposure of the human population to these chemicals. Some of the phthalate esters are known to be toxic to the developing male reproductive system.

Genotoxicity of phthalates

Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods, 2014
Many of the environmental, occupational and industrial chemicals are able to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cause oxidative stress. ROS may lead to genotoxicity, which is suggested to contribute to the pathophysiology of many human diseases, including inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Biodegradation of phthalates and phthalate esters

Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences, 1984
Several microorganisms utilising terephthalate and diethylphthalate have been isolated from garden soil. Protocatechuate was one of the intermediates in the degradation of terephthalic acid and diethylphthalate. Accumulation of protocatechuate during the growth of these strains has been described.

Changes in urinary excretion of phthalates, phthalate substitutes, bisphenols and other polychlorinated and phenolic substances in young Danish men; 2009-2017.

International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2019
During the past two decades human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates such as di-iso-butyl phthalate (DiBP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP), butylbenzyl phthalate (BBzP) and di-(2-ethyl-hexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has received substantial interest due ...

Phthalate exposure in Chinese homes and its association with household consumer products.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Phthalates are SVOCs (Semi-volatile Organic Compounds) that are widely used in industrial and daily home products. This study aimed to investigate exposure levels to phthalates in Chinese homes and to relate these to building characteristics and ...
