Here, we demonstrate that hundreds to thousands of chemicals migrate into water from plastic products and that these leachates induce toxicity in vitro . This highlights that plastic chemicals leach under realistic conditions and, thus, can be a relevant contributor to the human exposome.

Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters can be used to reduce emissions of organic micropollutants via municipal wastewater, but it is still uncertain to which extent biological degradation contributes to their removal in GAC filters. 14C-labeled organic micropollutants were therefore used to distinguish degradation from adsorption in a GAC-filter ...

Sea ice accumulates perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) from seawater and from atmospheric deposition in snow. Subsequent melting of surface ice layers through seasonal changes later results in high PFAA concentrations in the under-ice seawater.
