Abstract Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are dialkyl or alkyl/aryl ester derivatives of phthalic acid. PAEs are colorless, odorless, and flavorless oily liquids. PAEs are the main plasticizers used in industry and households. DEHP (di-(2-ethyl hexyl) phthalate) is the main plasticizer used in the polymer industry, whereas DMP (dimethyl phthalate) and DEP (diethyl phthalate) are used mainly as solvents or fixatives in cosmetics and personal care products. PAEs are synthetic organic compounds poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Into the environment, they are introduced during the production, use and degradation, packaging, and transportation of plastic products. In the environment, PAEs are degraded in three ways: by hydrolysis, photodegradation, and microbial degradation, whereas the biodegradation and hydrolysis of PAEs in the environment are very slow. PAEs are pollutants of soil, water, groundwater, river water, marine water, air, sediments, vegetables, and biota. Due to the great interest in the subject of environmental pollution by PAEs and the emergence of new information in this area, it is extremely important to systematically review the current knowledge. In the presented paper, the occurrence of PAEs in different environmental matrices was reviewed. The toxicity to plants, animals, and humans was also described.

Water Air & Soil Pollution

WATER, AIR, & SOIL POLLUTION 是一本国际性的跨学科期刊，内容涉及污染的各个方面以及生物圈污染的解决方案。这包括与环境污染有关的影响植物、动物、水、空气和土壤的化学、物理和生物过程。由于其范围广泛，学科领域多种多样，包括污染源、运输、沉积、积累、酸降水、大气污染、金属、水体污染（包括海洋污染和地下水）、废水、农药、土壤污染、污水等方方面面。 , 沉积物污染, 森林污染, 污染物对人类、植被、鱼类、水生物种、微生物和动物的影响, 应用于污染研究的环境和分子毒理学, 生物传感器, 全球和气候变化, 污染的生态影响和污染模型. WATER, AIR, & SOIL POLLUTION 还发表关于环境污染物研究中使用的新方法、环境毒理学、环境生物学、与污染相关的新环境工程、受污染影响的生物多样性、应用于污染的新环境生物技术（例如生物修复）的手稿)、环境建模和污染环境的生物修复。不应提交仅对当地感兴趣且不促进国际环境污染和污染解决方案知识的文章。在研究当地污染问题的同时简单地复制已知知识或技术的文章通常会被拒绝而未经审查。提交的文章必须有最新的参考文献，在需要时采用正确的实验复制和统计分析，并包含对新知识的重大贡献。出版编辑团队衷心感谢您的合作。WATER, AIR, & SOIL POLLUTION 发表研究论文；评论文章；迷你评论；和书评。

Water, Air, and Soil Pollution is an international interdisciplinary journal that addresses all aspects of pollution and solutions to biosphere contamination. This includes the chemical, physical, and biological processes affecting plants, animals, water, air, and soil related to environmental pollution. The journal covers a wide range of disciplines, including sources of pollution, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid rain, atmospheric pollution, heavy metals, water pollution (including marine and groundwater), wastewater, pesticides, soil contamination, sewage, sediment pollution, forest pollution, and more. It also examines the effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, microorganisms, and animals, as well as research in environmental and molecular toxicology, biosensors, global climate change, ecological impacts of pollution, and pollution modeling. The journal welcomes manuscripts on new methods in environmental pollutant research, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, new environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity affected by pollution, and new environmental biotechnologies applied to pollution (such as bioremediation). Please note that the journal does not accept articles that are only of local interest and do not contribute to the international knowledge of environmental pollution and its solutions. Articles that merely replicate known knowledge or techniques while studying local pollution issues are typically rejected without review. Submitted articles must include up-to-date references, employ appropriate experimental replication and statistical analysis when necessary, and make significant contributions to new knowledge. The journal publishes research papers, review articles, mini-reviews, and book reviews.
