Full Title
Analysis of phthalate esters in adipose tissue of Pontoporia blainvillei collected in southern Brazil (Florianopolis county, Santa Catarina state)
Author

Authors Summary
This study investigated the presence and the amounts of four phthalate esters in abdominal adipose tissue (i.e., blubber) collected from 24 Pontoporia blainvillei carcasses. , an extraction method involving organic solvents and sonication of the blubber samples was developed, followed by gas chromatography analysis. DEP and DEHP were present in 100% of samples, with minor but relevant frequencies found for DMP (66.66%) and DBP (58.33%). The presence of phthalates in the environment (foods, water, soil, etc.) is an increasing global problem that needs to be better understood and overcome, aiming at the preservation of marine fauna, such as the critically endangered species Pontoporia blainvillei.
