PAEs (Phthalate Acid Esters) are a group of plasticizing chemical compounds are used in plastic industry worldwide that are well known for their environmental contamination and toxicological effects as endocrine disruptors. In this work, the occurrence and preliminary ecological risk of six PAEs, namely Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), Diethyl phthalate (DEP), Di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) were investigated, for the first time, in five urban drainage channels located along the poor nearby outskirts neighbourhoods of the São Vicente city, São Paulo, Brazil, whose diffuse loads flow continuously to estuarine waters of this island. Of these, three congeners DMP (
