Comparisons of estimated human body burdens of dioxinlike chemicals and TCDD body burdens in experimentally exposed animals.
Humans are exposed to mixtures of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, and the potential health effects of these exposures are uncertain. A subset of this class of compounds produce similar spectra of toxicity in experimental animals as does 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), and these chemicals have been classified as "dioxins." In this study, we compared the body burdens of dioxins...
متن کاملHuman body burdens of chemicals used in plastic manufacture.
In the last decades, the availability of sophisticated analytical chemistry techniques has facilitated measuring trace levels of multiple environmental chemicals in human biological matrices (i.e. biomonitoring) with a high degree of accuracy and precision. As biomonitoring data have become readily available, interest in their interpretation has increased. We present an overview on the use of b...
متن کاملWhat contributes to human body burdens of phthalate esters?
Phthalate esters (PEs) and alternative plasticizers used as additives in numerous consumer products are continuously released into the environment leading to subsequent human exposure. The ubiquitous presence and potential adverse health effects (e.g. endocrine disruption and reproductive toxicity) of some PEs are responsible for their bans or restrictions. This has led to increasing use of alt...
متن کاملREDUCTION OF HUMAN ORGANOHALIDE BODY BURDENS FINAL RESEARCH REPORT Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education REDUCTION OF HUMAN ORGANOHALIDE BODY BURDENS
Reduction of Human Organohalide Body Burdens With human exposure to ubiquitous environmental contaminants inevitable despite the best application of environmental laws and protection technologies, interest has grown in the potential to reduce the levels of contamination carried in the human host. As the predominant storage compartment within the human body is the fat. techniques have been devel...
متن کاملBody Burdens of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers among Urban Anglers
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been widely used in the United States and worldwide as flame retardants. Recent PBDE production figures show that worldwide use has increased. To determine whether fish consumption is a source of PBDE exposure for humans, a cross-sectional epidemiologic study of New York and New Jersey urban anglers was conducted during the summers of 2001-2003. Frequ...
