Tóm tắt

The interaction between water and pipe surfaces can deteriorate drinking water quality, thus threatening public health. However, uncertainties remain in the release mechanism of phthalates acid esters (PAEs) from plastic pipes and their effects on drinking water quality. Our study indicated that PAEs released from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes was higher than polyethylene (PE) pipes. Chlorine disinfection increased the released PAEs concentration in effluents of PE-Cl
