Baseline investigation on plasticizers, bisphenol a
Electronic waste (e-waste) has emerged as a global environmental problem because of its massive production volume and un-structured management policy. Since the rate of e-waste accumulation is startling and the combinatorial effects of toxicants are complex, we have investigated six phthalic acid esters ((PAEs), bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA)), bisphenol A (BPA), sixteen polycyclic aromatic...

- Is bisphenol A a phenolic plasticizer?
- Bisphenol A is a phenolic plasticizer used in the production of various plastic products. Its endocrine-disrupting effects on ecological and human health lead to replacement with its structural analogs. The occurrence of these analogs in the soil environment, which is an important sink for bisphenols, has been rarely reported.
- Which dumpsite has the highest concentration of plasticizers?
- Among dumpsites, highest concentration of total plasticizers (442 ng/g), BPA (110 ng/g) and Cu (6212 mg/kg) were observed in Kodangaiyur located in the northern part of Chennai city (CN DS 02). Maximum DEHA level in this study was observed at this site (310 ng/g). Chennai is the capital hub for automobile industry in India ( Zhang et al., 2008 ).
- Why is BPA used as a stabilizing agent?
- BPA is used as a stabilizing agent in various PVC materials such as electrical cables. Burning of electrical wires is probably the cause of observed high concentrations of BPA in the recovery sites.
- What is in-line purification technology?
- In recent years, in-line purification technology was also used for its simplified sample processing and time and solvent efficiency (Chiesa et al., 2016). For example, in our previous study, silica gel was used as an in-line adsorbent to analyze phthalates in soil (Hu et al., 2020).
