Bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of phthalate esters in the food webs of Jinpu Bay, China: Health risks assessment for spotted seals.
Phthalate esters (PAEs) are ubiquitous in aquatic environments and pose biotic risks, but their bioaccumulation and trophic transfer mechanisms across coastal food webs remain poorly characterized. We investigated PAEs in Jinpu Bay (China) food webs, encompassing seawater, sediments, and biota from plankton to air-brea...
