Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) or phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) are emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) that may harm biota and human health. Humans can be exposed to these contaminants by drinking water consumption from water sources such as groundwater. Before their presence in aquifer systems, phthalates and BPA can be found in many matrices due to anthropogenic activities, which result in long-term transport to groundwater reservoirs by different mechanisms and reaction processes. The worldwide occurrence of phthalates and BPA concentrations in groundwater have ranged from 0.1 × 10 to 3 203.33 µg L and from 0.09 × 10 to 228.04 µg L, respectively. Therefore, the aim of this review is to describe the groundwater contamination pathways of phthalates and BPA from the main environmental sources to groundwater. Overall, this article provides an overview that integrates phthalate and BPA environmental cycling, from their origin to human reception via groundwater consumption. Additionally, in this review, the readers can use the information provided as a principal basis for existing policy ratification and for governments to develop legislation that may incorporate these endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) as priority contaminants. Indeed, this may trigger the enactment of regulatory guidelines and public policies that help to reduce the exposure of these EDCs in humans by drinking water consumption.
邻苯二甲酸酯（PAEs）或邻苯二甲酸盐以及双酚A（BPA）是新出现的有机污染物（EOCs），可能危害生物群和人类健康。人类可通过饮用诸如地下水等水源的水接触到这些污染物。在邻苯二甲酸盐和双酚A进入含水层系统之前，由于人为活动，它们可在许多基质中被发现，这些活动通过不同机制和反应过程导致其长期迁移至地下水库。全球地下水中邻苯二甲酸盐和双酚A的浓度范围分别为0.1×10至3203.33微克/升以及0.09×10至228.04微克/升。因此，本综述的目的是描述邻苯二甲酸盐和双酚A从主要环境源到地下水的地下水污染途径。总体而言，本文提供了一个概述，整合了邻苯二甲酸盐和双酚A的环境循环，从其来源到通过饮用地下水被人类接触。此外，在本综述中，读者可将所提供的信息作为现有政策批准的主要依据，以及供政府制定可能将这些内分泌干扰化合物（EDCs）列为优先污染物的立法。的确，这可能促使制定监管指南和公共政策，以帮助减少人类通过饮用地下水接触这些EDCs的情况。
