Baseline investigation on plasticizers, bisphenol A, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals in the surface soil of the informal electronic waste recycling workshops and nearby open dumpsites in Indian metropolitan cities.
Plasticizers and bisphenol A in Adyar and Cooum riverine
Plasticizers and BPA were detected and quantified using an Agilent 7890B gas chromatography coupled to a 5977A mass spectrometer equipped with an HP-5MS column (30 m × 0.25mmi.d. × 0.25 μm film thickness). The flow rate of the carrier gas (He, 99.99% purity) was kept constant at 1.5 mL/min.

- How many plasticizers and BPA are in Chennai River?
- This study reports the distribution of ∑ 7 plasticizers (6 PAEs and DEHA) and BPA along two major rivers flowing through Chennai city. Elevated levels of BPA and plasticizers were mainly attributed to the high load of industrial and domestic wastewater activities in addition to the burning of plastic waste along both the rivers.
- Do plasticizers and BPA contaminate sediments in Chennai city?
- The concentrations of plasticizers and BPA in sediments justify the need to restrict the discharge of wastewater into the two rivers. However, further studies to assess the sediments quality in Chennai city are necessary.
- Are industrial sites a major source of plasticizers?
- Industrial sites contributed to one-third of the total plasticizers found in this study with major concentrations of DEHP, BBP, DEHA and DnOP. Industrial emission is an important source of plasticizers and can release up to 114,000 kg/year of DEHP alone (Sidhu et al. 2005).
- Are plasticizers safe in Adyar & Cooum rivers?
- Hence, we have monitored the occurrence and risk associated with plasticizers [six phthalic acid esters (PAEs), bis (2-ethyl hexyl adipate) (DEHA)] and bisphenol A (BPA) in surface riverine sediments of Adyar and Cooum rivers from residential/commercial, industrial and electronic waste recycling sites.
- What is the global use of plasticizers?
- In 2015, the global use of plasticizers was 8.4 million tons (MT), and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) represented 37% of the global plasticizer market. Additives like bisphenol A (BPA) is used up to 3% by weight mostly in polycarbonate (71%) and epoxy resins (29%) (Huang et al. 2012).
- Does salinity affect the concentration of plasticizers in the Bay of Bengal?
- Wetland: Although the concentration of total plasticizers decreased towards the Bay of Bengal, the percentage contribution of DEP and DnBP increased slightly which could be due to the influence of increasing salinity as observed elsewhere ( Paluselli et al., 2018 ).
