Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) or phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) are emerging organic
contaminants (EOCs) that may harm biota and human health. Humans can be exposed to …

The purpose of this study is to review existing recycling technologies, standards and market
situation for plastics recycling. The principal results show that mechanical recycling is the …

The large-scale use of organophosphate esters (OPEs) as flame retardants and plasticizers
has led to their prevalence in the environment, with still unknown broader impacts. This …

Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are used as additives in flame retardants and plasticizers.
Due to phase out of several congeners of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), the …

Plastic products are made from the essential polymer mixed with a complex blend of
substances including catalyst remnants, polymerization solvents, and a wide range of other …

This review article discusses the environmental and economic effects of recycling, as well as
sustainable thermoplastic polymer recycling technologies. Several researchers have utilized …

The increasing use of phthalate acid esters (PAEs) in various applications has inevitably led
to their widespread presence in the aquatic environment. This presents a considerable …

Here, we evaluate for the first time the performances of the newly developed laser direct
infrared (LDIR) technique and propose an optimization of the initial protocol for marine …

Environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), a type of exogenous organic
pollutants, are ubiquitous in natural aquatic environments. Therefor, this review focused on …

Wastewater pollution with micropollutants (organic molecules, heavy metal ions, inorganics,
