Abstract Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a plasticizer derived from phthalate ester, is
used as an additive in industrial products such as plastics, paints, and medical devices …

In the past decades, phthalate acid esters (PAEs), as a new class of recalcitrant
environmental contaminant, have attracted increasing concern due to their potential hazards …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are an important source of microplastics (MPs)
entering the aquatic environment. As environmental awareness increases, WWTPs are …

Bio-based fertilizers (BBFs) produced from organic waste have the potential to reduce
societal dependence on limited and energy-intensive mineral fertilizers. BBFs, thereby …

Phthalates (PAEs) are gaining attention and being researched as an endocrine disruptor as
