The results of this study indicate that selected parabens do not negatively affect the survival, growth, and reproduction of Eisenia fetida up to 1000 mg Kg⁻¹ concentration. Further, these parabens (0–1000 mg Kg⁻¹) exhibited a low persistence in soil with more than 90 % disappearing within three days. In contrast, only 16–54 % degradation of parabens occurred in frozen soil suggesting a microbial role in parabens degradation. This study demonstrates that methyl-, propyl-, and butyl parabens degrade rapidly in the terrestrial environment and therefore, are unlikely to pose a threat to species such as Eisenia fetida. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the toxicity of parabens to earthworms.]]> Thu 09 Jun 2022 09:50:26 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55065 Mon 08 Apr 2024 13:13:26 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53106 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:54:55 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51550 Fri 08 Sep 2023 15:06:19 AEST ]]>
