After directly analyzing the commercially available water samples, 3 polymer additives （chimassorb 81, irgafos 168 and oleamide） were detected. However, after exposure to sunshine for 8 days, two additional polymer additives （antioxidant 2246 and Butylated Hydroxytoluene （BHT）） were detected besides the former three additives.展开更多
