Particularly, in proper assigning the re-adsorption loss in the measurement of total leachates in water. On the other hand, the latest information regarding the distribution of PAEs and plastic waste and their ecological risk in the surface waters of the Red Sea and Sharm Obhur Bay is reported. An improved method for the analysis of PAEs was developed, including the control of blank contamination, and the experimental conditions such as extraction time and temperature were optimized. This information may be useful in the analysis of PAEs where it can be of great importance to obtain a precise determination of plastic additives in the complex environment 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:8:3-2022-00772-4$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://macau.uni-kiel.de/receive/macau_mods_00003232 5051 500 5550 GCMS 5550 Leaching 5550 Mass balance calculation 5550 Microplastics 5550 Phthalate esters (PAEs) 5550 Re-adsorption 5550 Saltwater 5550 Temperature 5550 UVR
