TLDR
A first comprehensive overview of chemicals on the market as an essential first step toward a global understanding of chemical pollution is achieved.Abstract:
Chemicals, while bringing benefits to society, may be released during their lifecycles and possibly cause harm to humans and ecosystems. Chemical pollution has been mentioned as one of the planetar...read more

TL;DR: Results reveal unanticipated risks of 6PPD antioxidants to an aquatic species and imply toxicological relevance for dissipated tire rubber residues, and identify a highly toxic quinone transformation product of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p- Phenylenediamine (6PPD), a globally ubiquitous tire rubber antioxidant.

TL;DR: It is submitted that the safe operating space of the planetary boundary of novel entities is exceeded since annual production and releases are increasing at a pace that outstrips the global capacity for assessment and monitoring.

Deep Dive into Plastic Monomers, Additives, and Processing Aids.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically investigated plastic monomers, additives, and processing aids on the global market based on a review of 63 industrial, scientific, and regulatory data sources, identifying more than 10'000 relevant substances and categorizing them based on substance types, use patterns, and hazard classifications.

Chemical pollution: A growing peril and potential catastrophic risk to humanity.
Ravi Naidu,Bhabananda Biswas,Ian R. Willett,Julian Cribb,Brajesh K. Singh,C. Paul Nathanail,Frederic Coulon,Kirk T. Semple,Kevin C. Jones,Adam Barclay,Robert John Aitken +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive perspective of the threat of chemical pollution to humanity, emphasising male fertility, cognitive health and food security, and the need for enhanced global awareness and scientific scrutiny of the overall scale of risk posed by chemical usage, dispersal and disposal.

TL;DR: The results affirm the multiple stressor paradigm by showing that different aspects of WW (warming, nutrients, microbes, and MPs) jointly influence ecosystem functioning in complex ways.

Are There Other Persistent Organic Pollutants? A Challenge for Environmental Chemists.
TL;DR: The question of whether there is now sufficient information to permit a broader array of chemicals to be determined in environmental matrices is addressed and 30 chemicals with high predicted bioconcentration and low rate of biodegradation are listed.
