Legacy and alternative plasticizers in sediments from a highly industrialized lake in Korea: Spatial distribution, source identification, and long-term trends (2008-2024).
Following global and domestic regulations on legacy plasticizers (LPs), such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the environmental emergence of alternative plasticizers (APs) has become a critical concern. This study investigated the spatial distribution, source, long-term trends (2008-2024), and ecological risks of...
