In this study, it was aimed to qualitatively determine Bisphenol A and dibutyl phthalate residues in carboy, pet bottled tap waters used as drinking water Kayseri-Türkiye. Being an additive the production of many products plastics frequently daily life, BPA phthalates are associated with a variety health issues environmental problems. Within scope total 20 samples (9 pet, 7 carboy 4 water) were...

Phthalates are endocrine disruptors, reported to cause deformities and reproductive damages in animals. Numerous studies the presence of phthalates water samples rivers, wetlands, estuaries, while scenario case ponds is different, however they as an integral part biosphere. In this study, level phthalates’ contamination collected from different Amritsar district for four consecutive seasons two...

Exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is prevalent based on the measurement of its hydrolytic metabolite mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) in the urine of 78% of the general U.S. population studied in the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). However, despite the high level of production and use of DEHP, the urinary MEHP levels in the NHANES samples we...

The authors used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to estimate the percentage of individuals’ calories that came from fast food, fat intake attributable to fast food consumption, and fast food intake by food group. During NHANES interviews, respondents had reported their diet from the preceding 24 hours. Fast food was defined as food obtained from restauran...

Phthalates are a class of high volume production chemicals used as plasticizers for household and industrial use. Several members of this chemical family have endocrine disrupting activity. Owing to ubiquitous environmental distribution and exposure of human population at all stages of life, phthalate contamination is a continuous global public health problem. Clinical and experimental studies ...

This study was carried out to investigate the short term toxicity of nine phthalate diesters including di-2 (ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) , di (n-butyl) phthalate (DBP) , di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP) , diethyl phthalate (DEP) , butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP) , dimethyl phthalate (DMP) , di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) , diundecyl phthalate (DUP) , and di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) and five phthalate mo...

The mutagenic activities of several phthalate esters have been evaluated in an 8-azaguanine resistance assay in Salmonella typhimurium. Three phthalate esters were found to be mutagenic: dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate and di-n-butyl phthalate. A number of other phthalate esters were not found to be mutagenic, including di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, di-n-octyl phthalate, diallyl phthalate, ...

Background To evaluate the possible association between phthalate esters (PEs) and the occurrence of endometriosis. Blood samples were collected from 99 infertile women with endometriosis (study group); 135 age-matched women without endometriosis (control group) but with infertility related to tubal defects, fibroids, polycystic ovaries, idiopathic infertility and pelvic inflammatory diseases d...

Due to public health concerns, the Chinese government and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) both introduced test methods for the analysis of phthalate content in childcare items and toys using GC/MS in 2008. These regulatory methods require determination of the presence of six regulated phthalate esters including dibutyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), bis(2-ethylh...

background: phthalates are widely used as plasticizers in polyethylene terephthalate (pet) products. several pharmaceutical products have been stored in pet containers, and due to serious health effects of phthalates, migration levels of them into pharmaceutical products must be determined. in the present study, leaching levels of four common phthalate esters including di-n-butyl phthalate (dbp...
