文摘

This study detected phthalate esters (PAEs) and bisphenol A (BPA) in Saudi treated wastewater. Both PAEs and BPA were found in secondary and tertiary treated wastewater. Most treated wastewater samples exhibited genotoxicity using comet assay and micronucleus test. In spite of the low levels of BPA and some PAEs in treated wastewater, they induced genetic damage.
