Helmholtz Association research project P-LEACH analyzes chemical release of plastic additives into water.
The main focus was on the question of how the sun's UV radiation increases the release of chemicals.
Experts from four research institutes analyzed the composition and concentrations of many different substances.
Of particular interest were those chemicals suspected of being harmful to human health and the environment but not regulated.
UV radiation is only one factor that affects plastic in the environment.
Age, size, shape and porosity of the plastic also influence the extent to which additives enter the water.
Further scientific articles by the P-LEACH team are due to be published in the coming months .
