Abstract Background European chemicals management aims to protect human health and the environment from legacy emerging contaminants. The plasticizer market changed in response restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) (DEHP) due their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns trends 19 regulated house dust German homes suspended particulate...

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...

BACKGROUND There are concerns that developmental exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals such as phenolic compounds and phthalates could affect child cognitive function. Epidemiological studies tackling this question have mainly focused on phthalate metabolites and bisphenol A, but not on the other phenolic compounds. Our study aimed to assess the relationship between in-utero exposure to ph...

BACKGROUND Phthalates may pose a risk for perinatal developmental effects. An important question relates to the choice of suitable biological matrices for assessing exposure during this period. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to measure the concentrations of phthalate diesters or their metabolites in breast milk, blood or serum, and urine and to evaluate their suitability for assessing per...

BACKGROUND Widespread human exposure to phthalates, some of which are developmental and reproductive toxicants in experimental animals, raises concerns about potential human health risks. Underappreciated sources of exposure include phthalates in the polymers coating some oral medications. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate whether users of phthalate-containing medications ...

BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) is believed to be the underlying mechanism of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Recently, a few studies have demonstrated that phthalates could cause oxidative stress which would contribute to the development of IR. Therefore, we evaluated whether exposure to phthalates affects IR, and oxidative stress is involved in the phthalates-IR pathw...

Phthalates are environmental chemicals widely used in consumer and personal care products. In this study, we examined associations of urinary phthalates with blood pressure, triglycerides, and lipoproteins in children and adolescents, performing a cross-sectional analysis of a subsample of US children 6 to 19 years of age who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey ...

background: phthalates are a group of multifunctional chemicals. diethyl phthalate (dep) is one of the most frequently used phthalates in solvents and fixatives for numerous industrial products. method: the present experiment was designed to assess oxidative stress, if any, caused by diethyl phthalate. for this the homogenates of liver and kidney were treated with different concentrations ( 10-...

Abstract Plastic pollution is one of the leading environmental problems. Phthalates are widely used plastic additives released into environment. Although effects phthalates on vertebrates have been extensively studied, there a knowledge gap regarding their invertebrates. This work analyzes impact three phthalates, diethyl phthalate (DEP), benzyl butyl (BBP), and bis-(2-ethylhexyl) (DEHP), gastr...

N-phenyl-2-naphthylamine and phthalates are well known compounds, synthesized in chemical industry. These chemicals to be toxic for living organisms. At the same time was found plants, were both plants bacteria. Currently, there no data scientific literature about synthesis of plant cells. Previously, we have established presence these compounds root tissues exudates legumes. The aim this study...
