Abstract
Initial efforts to determine some chemodynamic properties of three phthalate esters (PEs) in soil‐water systems gave erratic results. This behavior can be explained by the occurrence of biodegradation of PEs over time scales encountered in laboratory investigations. Results are presented which demonstrate that biodegradation can be significant in the laboratory and should be controlled.Keywords
