Persistent plastics, with an estimated lifetime for degradation of hundreds years in marine conditions, can break up into micro- and nanoplastics over shorter timescales, thus facilitating their uptake by biota throughout the food chain. These polymers may contain chemical additives contaminants, including some known endocrine disruptors that be harmful at extremely low concentrations biota, posing potential risks to ecosystems, biodiversity availability. Although there is still need carry...

Abstract Background Currently, plastic is at the top of international agenda for waste management. Recent meetings Conferences Parties to Basel and Stockholm Conventions have expressed concerns over impact waste, marine litter, microplastics, emphasised importance reducing consumption ensuring environmentally sound management plastics. This study presents first continental historical analysis mass importation different polymers plastics (primary secondary forms, respectively) in Africa...

The Florence Statement on Triclosan and Triclocarban documents a consensus of more than 200 scientists medical professionals the hazards lack demonstrated benefit from common uses triclosan triclocarban. These chemicals may be used in thousands personal care consumer products as well building materials. Based extensive peer-reviewed research, this statement concludes that triclocarban are environmentally persistent endocrine disruptors bioaccumulate toxic to aquatic other organisms. Evidence...

Abstract Background In recent years, the widespread presence of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in environment related exposures adverse health effects has received increasing attention. However, PFASs are not routinely monitored drinking water many parts world, including China. PFAS data mainly generated by research studies. This paper provides an overview available studies on Chinese to better understand current status contamination potential for exposure. Results The...

A critical review of the last 25 years dioxin policy in Elbe river catchment is presented along seven main theses River Basin Community (RBC)-Elbe background document "Pollutants" for Management Plan 2016–2021. In this period, polychlorinated dibenzodioxins/-furans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like biphenyls (dl-PCBs) will play a major role: (i) as new priority substances which environmental quality standards (EQSs) need to be derived (Directive 2013/39/EC); (ii) search innovative solutions sediment...

Enabling a circular economy for plastics in Europe and beyond is an ambitious goal. To reach fully closed loop, numerous challenges knowledge gaps need to be overcome. This review provides list of more than 6000 chemicals reported found overview the assessing their impacts on environment human health along life cycle plastic products. We further identified 1518 plastic-related concern, which should prioritized substitution by safer alternatives. At last, we propose five policy...

Short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs MCCPs, respectively) have raised environmental concern due to their potential for persistence, long-range transport, bioaccumulation, toxicity. However, little is known about the production, use, emissions of SCCPs MCCPs in China, world's largest producer consumer. In this study, we estimated amounts produced used China 2018-2019 based on a nationwide survey measurements concentrations products, from which China. Our results show that...
