Discharge or leaching of plastic additives, which are an essential part of the plastic production process, can lead to environmental pollution with serious impacts on human and ecosystem health. Recently, the emission of plastic additives is increasing dramatically, but its pollution condition has not received enough attention. Meanwhile, the effective treatment strategy of plastic additive pollution is lack of systematic introduction. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the harm and pollution status of plastic additives and explore effective pollution control strategies. This paper reviews the latest research progress on additives in plastics, describes the effects of their migration into packaged products and leaching into the environment, presents the hazards of four major classes of plastic additives (i.e., plasticizers, flame retardants, stabilizers, and antimicrobials), summarizes the existing abiotic/biotic strategies for accelerated the remediation of additives, and finally provides perspectives on future research on the removal of plastic additives. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review that systematically analyzes strategies for the treatment of plastic additives. The study of these strategies could (i) provide feasible, cost-effective abiotic method for the removal of plastic additives, (ii) further enrich the current knowledge on plastic additive bioremediation, and (iii) present application and future development of plants, invertebrates and machine learning in plastic additive remediation.
塑料添加剂的排放或浸出是塑料生产过程中的一个重要组成部分，可能导致环境污染，并对人类和生态系统健康产生严重影响。最近，塑料添加剂的排放量急剧增加，但它的污染状况尚未得到足够的重视。同时，缺乏对塑料添加剂污染的有效处理策略的系统介绍。因此，分析塑料添加剂的危害和污染状况，并探索有效的污染控制策略至关重要。本文综述了塑料添加剂的最新研究进展，描述了它们迁移到包装产品中和浸出到环境中的影响，介绍了四大类塑料添加剂（即增塑剂、阻燃剂、稳定剂和抗菌剂）的危害，总结了现有的用于加速添加剂修复的非生物/生物策略，最后对去除塑料添加剂的未来研究提出了展望。据我们所知，这是第一篇系统分析处理塑料添加剂策略的综述。这些策略的研究可以：（i）为去除塑料添加剂提供可行的、具有成本效益的非生物方法；（ii）进一步丰富塑料添加剂生物修复的现有知识；（iii）展示植物、无脊椎动物和机器学习在塑料添加剂修复中的应用和未来发展。
