AB  - The extensive utilization of phthalate-containing products has lead to ubiquitous 
      contamination of phthalate esters (PAEs) in various matrices. However, 
      comprehensive knowledge of their pollution in Chinese farmland and associated 
      risks is still limited. In this study, 15 PAEs were determined in soils from 
      agricultural fields throughout the Mainland China. The concentrations of Sigma15PAEs 
      were in the range of 75.0-6369 mug kg(-1). Three provinces (i.e., Fujian, 
      Guangdong and Xinjiang, China) showed the highest loadings of PAEs. 
      Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) was found as the most abundant component and 
      contributed 71.5% to the  summation operator15PAEs. The major source of PAEs in arable soils was 
      associated with the application of agricultural plastic films, followed by the 
      activities for soil fertility. Furthermore, the non-cancer and carcinogenic risks 
      of target PAEs were estimated. The hazard indexes (HIs) of PAEs in all samples 
      were below 1 and the carcinogenic risk levels were all within 10(-4). Results 
      from this study will provide valuable information for Chinese agricultural soil 
      management and risk avoidance.
