Plasticizers and bisphenol A: Emerging organic pollutants
Plastic additives which are also potential emerging organic pollutants (EOPs) such as plasticizers and additives (bisphenol A (BPA) are used separately or together in products such as textiles, food containers, detergents, personal care products, insecticides, paints and above all in various types of polymers (Schmidt et al., 2025).

Persistent plasticizers and bisphenol in the cheese
Clinical evidences, experimental models, and epidemiology of many studies suggest that phthalate-based plasticizers, aliphatic ester, and bisphenol A (BPA) have major risks for humans by targeting different organs and body systems. The current study has been designed firstly to analyze three categor
Plasticizers and bisphenol A in Adyar and Cooum riverine
Plasticizers like phthalic acid esters (PAEs) range between 10 and 60% by weight predominantly in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials (Hahladakis et al. 2018). 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
Persistent plasticizers and bisphenol in the cheese
Clinical evidences, experimental models, and epidemiology of many studies suggest that phthalate-based plasticizers, aliphatic ester, and bisphenol A (BPA) have major risks for humans by targeting different organs and body systems. The current study has been designed firstly to analyze three categories of cheese with and without their exposure to the sun and packed in packages with an inner
- Is BPA and DEHP banned in France?
- And now for some good news. Today, France adopted a ban on certain uses of two widely used hormone disrupting chemicals: Bisphenol A (BPA), and the plasticizer di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, or DEHP for short. Both BPA and DEHP are primarily used to make plastics—polycarbonate and PVC, respectively.
- Are plasticizers a source of BPA in Hooghly River?
- Geo-mean concentrations of plasticizers were had 2–5 fold higher in riverine region than estuarine region. Plastic debris in tourist spots is a possible source of BPA in Hooghly River. Industrial sludge was identified as a point source for DEHP in Howrah district. Sediment can act as a sink for DEHP and secondary source for BPA, DEP and DnBP.
- What is bisphenol A used for?
- Bisphenol A is a synthetic chemical used for more than 50 years in many different industrial applications. For a long time, its two main uses were for the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. It is also used as a component of other polymers and resins (polyester, polysulfone, vinyl ester resins, etc.).
- Is bisphenol A toxic for reproduction?
- In 2012, at European level, ANSES proposed a tougher classification for bisphenol A as toxic for reproduction, in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, known as the CLP Regulation.
- Are plastic additives a potential emerging organic pollutants (EOPS)?
- Plastic additives which are also potential emerging organic pollutants (EOPs) such as plasticizers and additives (bisphenol A (BPA) are used separately or together in products such as textiles, food containers, detergents, personal care products, insecticides, paints and above all in various types of polymers (Schmidt et al., 2019).
- 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 ).
