Nonyl phenol ethoxylates (NPEs) are a group of non-ionic surfactants commonly used in industrial applications, including detergents and cleaning products. Due to their environmental persistence and potential endocrine-disrupting effects, the transportation of NPEs is subject to strict regulations. These regulations aim to ensure safe handling, prevent spills, and minimize the impact on human health and ecosystems.
