Human exposure to environmental toxins is a public health issue. The microarray data available in the Gene Expression Omnibus database under accession number GSE55655 and GSE55670GSE55655GSE55670 show the isolated and combined effects of dietary sugar and two organic compounds present in a variety of plastics [bisphenol A (BPA) and Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)] on global gene expression i...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of phthalate exposure on pregnancy duration and birth outcomes based on the Polish Mother and Child Cohort (REPRO_PL). MATERIAL AND METHODS Phthalate exposure was determined by measuring 11 phthalate metabolites (mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP), mono-iso-butyl phthalate (MiBP), mono-n-butyl phthalate (MnBP), 3OH-mono-n-butyl phthala...

Thin films made of a polymer (cellulose triacetate, CTA) and plasticizer have been studied as novel sorptive phases for chlorpyrifos, triclosan tonalide. The preparation is reproducible only requires the to be added into an organic dispersion containing CTA. evaporation solvent leaves easy manipulate continuous homogeneous thin film, which has investigated in terms both composition extraction e...

Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used plasticizer that is a commonly found contaminant of aquatic environments. However, little is known about the long-term effects of DEHP on fish development, as previous studies yielded conflicting results and mostly investigated the effects of concentrations higher than those found in natural habitats. We thus aimed to investigate the effects of...

Measurements of the radiocarbon abundance in 5 samples of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) isolated from Stilton cheese were made by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) to determine the fraction of carbon originating from contemporary biogenic sources. DEHP is classified as a “priority hazardous substance” by the European Union, a probable human carcinogen by the United States Environmental P...

This report describes the identification of important estrogenic compounds in surface and sediment pore-water samples collected from the Tyne and Tees estuaries (United Kingdom) through the application of toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) procedures. The Tyne and Tees estuaries represent estuaries that have been historically impacted by industrial activities and continue to receive treat...

This review summarizes peer-reviewed literature related to analysis, occurrence, and fate of emerging chemical contaminants in the water environment. The review focuses on the following broad categories of emerging contaminants: pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs); endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), including hormones, surfactants, and plasticizers; and brominated flame retar...

Thesium viride Hill, a member of the Santalaceae family, treats several ailments. However, few pharmacological investigations have been done to ascertain its folklore usage. The present study evaluated presence phytochemical constituents and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy profiling whole plant extract oral toxicity in Balb/c mouse model. plant-dried sample was collected from Zaria local g...

The relationship between plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and low birth weight in neonates has been reported. Immature muscle differentiation may be involved weight. myotoxic characteristics of chemicals have observed differentiating immortalized primary cells. Here, we explored the effects DEHP its metabolite mono(2-ethylhexyl) (MEHP) vitro using mouse skeletal myoblasts C2C12 hum...
