Plasticizers as Contaminants in Commercial Ethanol

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 1987
A batch of 95% ethanol caused unusually strong disordering of biomembranes, which could be detected either by fluorescence anisotropy in synaptosomal membranes or by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy in erythrocyte membranes. The contaminated batches of ethanol were visibly fluorescent when evaporated on filter paper.

Lead contamination of inexpensive plastic jewelry

Science of The Total Environment, 2008
The neurological hazards of lead to children are well-known. As a result of recent documented cases of lead poisoning, regulatory attention in the United States has focused on the lead content of children's metal jewelry. By contrast, little is known about the possible hazards of plastic jewelry items.

Potential for Plastics to Transport Hydrophobic Contaminants

Environmental Science & Technology, 2007
Plastic debris litters marine and terrestrial habitats worldwide. It is ingested by numerous species of animals, causing deleterious physical effects. High concentrations of hydrophobic organic contaminants have also been measured on plastic debris collected from the environment, but the fate of these contaminants is poorly understood. Here, we examine

Assessment of plastic contamination in marine organisms [PDF]

, 2022
Plastic production has exponentially increased over the past years, exceeding 360 million tonnes annually. The high production rate coupled with high plastic durability and poor waste management leads to constant leakage and accumulation of plastic waste in aquatic ecosystems worldwide.
