Abstract:Phthalic acid esters (PAEs), esterified derivatives of phthalic acid, are widely used as a plasticizer in various daily necessities and plastic products, and are currently a type of synthetic organic compounds with the largest production and the most widely used area. However, PAEs has been identified as a type of environmental endocrine disruptors in recent years, showing estrogen-like effects in humans and other animals and affecting the function of reproductive systems, as well as exhibiting carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and teratogenicity for human. PAEs pollution in facility soils is relatively common in China, which not only has potential harm to soil ecosystem, but may also enter the interior of human body through food chains, thereby endangering human health. Therefore, it has become an important issue how to accelerate the dissipation of phthalate pollution in farmland soil, which need to be solved urgently by the national environmental protection department and agricultural department. This paper reviews the domestic and foreign studies concerning the impact of agronomic measures on the dissipation behavior of PAEs from the aspects of water regulation, temperature regulation, application of exogenous additives, and cropping system management. In addition, the further research in this field is prospected from three aspects: 1) to deeply and systematically decipher the chemical-microbiological regulation mechanisms of agronomic measures on the dissipation of PAEs in soil, 2) to establish the synthetical regulation technologies of agronomic measures for phthalate dissipation in soil, 3) to fully consider the combined effect of several phthalates or their intermediate metabolites when studying the regulation of agronomic measures on phthalate dissipation in soil. It is expected to provide a reference and expand new ideas for the enhanced bioremediation of phthalate contaminated soil through agronomic measures.
