Polyethylene Terephthalate and Endocrine Disruptors
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2010 In the commentary “Polyethylene Terephthalate May Yield Endocrine Disruptors,” Sax (2010) theorized that bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) might leach phthalate ester plasticizers and/or antimony to produce endocrine-disrupting effects. On behalf of the North American producers of PET resin, I have the following comments and corrections.

Production and Characterization of Polyethylene Terephthalate Nanoparticles [PDF]
Polymers, 2021 Microplastic (MP) pollution represents one of the biggest environmental problems that is further exacerbated by the continuous degradation in the marine environment of MPs to nanoplastics (NPs). The most diffuse plastics in oceans are commodity polymers, mainly thermoplastics widely used for packaging, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). However,

Biological degradation of polyethylene terephthalate by rhizobacteria
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022 Abstract In view of growing demand of plastic products, an enormous proportion of plastic waste causing the biological issue is produced. Plants in collaboration with their rhizobacteria partners are also exposed to these contaminants. The aim of the study is to determine the rhizobacterial ability to biodegrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
