The presence of alkylphenol polyethoxylates (APEO) in the environment is solely a consequence of anthropogenic activities. These polyethoxylated compounds are biodegraded by losing ethoxy groups and subsequently generate more persistent and lipophilic alkylphenols compounds (APs), such as nonylphenols (NPs) and octylphenols (OPs), under aerobic and...
