Phthalate esters are the most common persistent organic pollutants in the environment. Government and non-governmental organizations are developing strategies to reduce these pollutants and to biologically increase polluted freshwater and soil. Phthalate esters exist at measurable levels in different environments around the world. For example, concentrations of dimethyl phthalate in atmospheric particulate matter, fresh water and sediments, soil and landfills have been determined.
Urbanization increases the discharge of phthalate esters to the atmospheric and aquatic environments. Especially the use of agricultural plastics accelerates soil pollution by phthalate esters in rural areas.
Aerobic biodegradation is the primary form of phthalate ester mineralization in the environment. Phthalate esters can be removed during wastewater treatment processes. The combination of different wastewater treatment technologies is effective in removing phthalate esters.
The main types of phthalates analyzed in advanced laboratories are:
The EPA methods suitable for the determination of these phthalates are as follows:
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also services for the determination of phthalate esters of sewage sludge.
