“This idea that a certain level of exposure to a chemical can mean something very different depending on your genetic makeup is quite new and important,” says Shanna Swan, a reproductive health scientist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, who was not involved in the study. Small percentages of Europeans and Asians have a genetic mutation that diminishes the production of filaggr...

Phthalates are widely used in industry, but adverse effects on human health have been reported due to exposure these chemicals. In the body, they metabolized into phthalic monoesters, which monitor and assess risk. Urine is one of main biological samples used, its easy access collection, also being elimination pathway for phthalates. complex; therefore, sample preparation a critical step. Dispo...

Esters of phthalates, mainly applied as plasticizer, cause several human health and environment    hazards. Phthalates are widely used in pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, as well as other plastic commercial products, and can penetrate in foods, water dusts, and air leading to ingestion and inhalation exposure followed by skin absorption for human. These compounds cause serious adverse effect...

Phthalates are multifunctional synthetic chemicals found in a wide array of consumer and industrial products, mainly used to improve the mechanical properties plastics, giving them flexibility softness. In European Union, phthalates prohibited at levels greater than 0.1% by weight most food packaging. current study, headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatograph...

Phthalates are organic contaminants that used as plasticizers in many plastic food packaging materials. Because of their lipophilic character, oils the primary source human exposure to phthalates. In this study, presence five phthalate esters; diethylhexyl (DEHP), dibutyl (DBP), butyl benzyl (BBP), diisononyl (DINP) and diisodecyl (DIDP) olive flavored with different materials marketed Turkey 2...

Phthalates are widely used plasticizers that produce endocrine-disrupting disorders. Quantifying exposure is crucial to perform risk assessments and develop proper health measures. Herein, a wastewater-based epidemiology approach has been applied estimate human six of the mostly phthalates within Spanish population. Wastewater samples were collected over four weekdays from seventeen wastewater ...

Phthalates are quasi-ubiquitous plasticizers found in products including building materials, food packaging, clothes, and personal care products. Thus, we permanently exposed to them. endocrine disruptors that can be ingested or absorbed through the skin. Because DEHP is most common phthalate, sought investigate its effect on epidermis. We generated human epidermal equivalents (HEEs) with kerat...

Phthalate pollution in soil and vegetables plastic agricultural greenhouses has attracted wide concern. Investigating airborne phthalates this environment can improve understanding of air-soil or air-vegetable phthalate migration. However, studies greenhouse air are rare. To fill gap, 25 gas-phase 23 particle-phase samples were collected from 12 typical Shaanxi. 16 types measured by a gas chrom...

A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method for the analysis of phthalates in water samples was developed on the CTC CombiPAL autosampler GC-MS platform. In this method, the sample preparation process was automated by using a CombiPAL autosampler, including the SPME fiber precondition, adsorption, and desorption, which improve the precision of the SPME method. The extraction temperature, extrac...
