The estrogenicity of bisphenol A-related diphenylalkanes with various substituents at the central carbon and the hydroxy reported an analysis conducted as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Cumulative Exposure Project (CEP). The EPA modeled air concentrations of chemicals listed in the Clean Air Act as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in over 60,000 census tracts and compared those concentrations to health benchmarks. The Phthalate Esters Panel of the Chemical Manufacturers Association has become aware of an error in the background concentration value used for bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), with the result that modeled air concentrations for DEHP-and thus the potential health hazard-were greatly exaggerated. Woodruff et al. (1) reported, "Eight pollutants ... [including DEHP] had mod-eled concentrations exceeding the benchmark concentrations for cancer in 1 00% of the census tracts. For each of these HAPs, the background concentration alone ... exceeded the benchmark concentration for cancer, as shown in Table 2." Their Table 2 (1) shows that the background concentration used for DEHP was 1.6 pg/m3. That value was taken from Howard (2) who reported "mean remote ocean air concen-trations" for DEHP of 0.07-0.17 ppb, citing Atlas and Giam (3). However, Atlas and Giam (3) actually reported remote DEHP air concentrations to be 0.32-2.68 ng/m3, with a mean of 1.4 ng/m3 a value more than 1,000 times less than the background value used for the CEP analysis. The panel has alerted the EPA to this error, and the EPA accordingly has corrected the CEP modeling report (4). TIable 2 of Woodruff et al. (1) shows that if the erroneous background value of 1.6 pg/m3 is disregarded, the CEP model predicts DEHP air concentrations to exceed the health benchmark of 0.25 pg/m3 in only 18 census tracts. Even this estimate probably exaggerates …

Correction: Phthalates Induce Neurotoxicity Affecting Locomotor and Thermotactic Behaviors and AFD Neurons through Oxidative Stress in Caenorhabditis elegans
BACKGROUND Phthalate esters are ubiquitous environmental contaminants and numerous organisms are thus exposed to various levels of phthalates in their natural habitat. Considering the critical, but limited, research on human neurobehavioral outcomes in association with phthalates exposure, we used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model to evaluate phthalates-induced neurotoxici...
متن کاملDegradation and Biosorption of Envirinmental Endocrine Discruptor Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) by Gordonia sp. YK1
In this study, the isolation of DEHP-degrading microorganism was successfully achieved by establishing highly enriched aerobic cultures capable of degrading DEHP. DEHP in the culture with the isolated microorganism was rapidly degraded with the growth of cells and disappeared in 48 hr (more than 90% degradation). Based on 16S rDNA analysis, the isolated DEHP-degrading microorganism belongs to t...
متن کاملDonor exposure to the plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate during plateletpheresis.
BACKGROUND Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer that is contained in most PVC devices, including apheresis disposables. Because DEHP can be extracted from apheresis disposables as the blood passes through the apheresis device, DEHP exposure was determined in healthy donors undergoing plateletpheresis performed with commercially available apheresis systems. STUDY DESIGN AND METHOD...
متن کاملEffects on the Local Immunity in the Testis by Exposure to Di-(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) in Mice
Exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has been reported to induce spermatogenic disturbance through oxidant stress and affect the immune system as an adjuvant. However, the effect of DEHP on the testicular immune microenvironment has not yet been investigated. In the present study, we examined the testicular immune microenvironment after exposure to doses of DEHP, previously identified...
متن کاملIncreased Urinary Phthalate Levels in Women with Uterine Leiomyoma: A Case-Control Study
We assessed the urinary concentration of 16 phthalate metabolites in 57 women with and without uterine leiomyoma (n = 30 and 27; respectively) to determine the association between phthalate exposure and uterine leiomyoma. To evaluate exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP); we calculated the molar sum of DEHP metabolites; ∑3-DEHP (combining mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP); mono-(2-e...
متن کاملThe Effect of Di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) on Mouse Daily Sperm Production and Epididymal Sperm Parameters
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on testicular spermatid number per gram testis (TSN), daily sperm production (DSP), count, motility, viability, morphology, and chromatine quality of epididymal sperm. Materials and Methods: The protocol for DEHP administration was that adult male NMRI mice (the age group of 4 weeks) received 29 D...
