Leaching of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals from Marine Microplastics and Mesoplastics under Common Life Stress Conditions
Open accessAbstract
Microplastics (MPs) and mesoplastics are able to sorb harmful substances and often contain additives, e.g., endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), that can cause adverse effects to organisms. The present study aims to determine EDC concentrations and their endocrine activities in leachates of field-collected marine MPs and mesoplastics under stress conditions that are known to occur during the plastic life cycle. Estrogens were the dominant EDCs on plastic particles and were either concentrated from the surrounding water or originated from plastic manufacturing. Bisphenol A had the highest detection frequency (75%) with an average concentration of 475 ± 882 μg/kg, followed by bisphenol S, octylphenol and nonylphenol. Moreover, smaller marine MPs leached greater quantities of EDCs because the sorption from surrounding seawater is more efficient for smaller particles. It was found that normal life stresses such as microwaving (MW) and autoclaving (AC) can decrease EDC concentrations, but solar irradiation (solar) can increase EDC concentrations in leachates. Even though organisms with higher metabolic ability exhibited greater estrogenic effects, the comprehensive toxicity of plastic leachates after common life treatments was still limited (below the EC10 value) if 0.1% is taken as the EDC uptake from plastic. In future studies, the accurate contribution of plastic bound EDCs needs to be further explored, and the monitoring of MPs and mesoplastics in the human diet remains important because the concentrations of these plastics may change in the future.

Almost all plastic products are carriers of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
“Almost all plastic products are carriers of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) [76], a wide range of substances, including pharmaceuticals, dioxin, and dioxin-like compounds; polychlorinated biphenyls; DDT and other pesticides; and components of plastics, such as BPA and phthalates.”
From Is Wild Marine Biota Affected by Microplastics? (2022) · cites this paper as [76]
The Introduction says EDCs are widely incorporated into plastics, and the Abstract says marine microplastics and mesoplastics often contain them. Neither passage establishes that almost all plastic products carry EDCs; the study concerns marine plastic particles, not plastic products generally. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
