Aging-Driven Mobilization of Endogenous Phthalate Esters from Microplastics and the Ecotoxicity of PAEs toward Soil Microbiota and Plants.
Microplastics are long-term sources of hazardous endogenous additives; however, the release behavior and ecological impacts of phthalate esters (PAEs) during environmental aging remain poorly understood. This study systematically examined the release of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) from...
