Summary: Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor used in the plastic industry that can be found in various products. It is believed to contribute to the global obesity epidemic and is associated with metabolic disorders. BPA promotes inflammation in fat cells and upregulates the release of certain cytokines, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation and physiological complications of obesity.

Summary: Obesity is a significant public health concern associated with increased risk of various cancers, including gastrointestinal tract cancers and hormone-dependent cancers. Adipose tissue plays a crucial role in this process, as it is considered a major internal source of endocrine disrupting chemicals that can impact hormonal balance and cell proliferation.

Summary: The continuous release of toxic substances poses a threat to wildlife survival. The study investigates the effects of Nonylphenol and Octylphenol on the testis of the lizard Podarcis siculus during the reproductive period, inhibiting steroidogenesis and interfering with reproductive capacity.

Summary: The study found that exposure to 2-t-OP is associated with a higher risk of GDM, while higher NP exposure is associated with a lower GDM risk. Further research is needed to confirm these associations and elucidate the causality of the findings.

Summary: The uncontrolled release of harmful endocrine disruptors (EDs) is causing serious damage to human and animal health. A biosensor called Lac/PAA/CFP, which immobilizes laccase over electropolymerized poly anthranilic acid on a carbon fiber paper (CFP) electrode, was developed for the detection of p-nonylphenol (PNP), a persistent phenolic endocrine disruptor and a harmful eco-toxic pollutant. The biosensor showed good selectivity and a low limit of detection for PNP in real water samples.

Summary: In this study, a peanut shell-based biocharCoFe2O4 catalyst was synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The catalyst showed higher efficiency in degrading NPEO10 compared to biochar and CoFe2O4. The degradation of NPEO10 involved both radical and non-radical pathways, with •OH being the major contributor.

Summary: This study conducted biomonitoring and risk assessment on the Turkish population for the first time, measuring urinary levels of Bisphenol A, 4-nonylphenol, and 4-t-octylphenol. While no potential health risk was observed from BPA and 4-NP exposure, there might be health risks associated with 4-t-OP exposure in the Turkish population.

Summary: Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are widely distributed and have a severe impact on human health. β-cyclodextrin crosslinked citric acid (BCD-CA) has been used as an adsorbent and shown to possess selective adsorption properties and high stability and water retention capacity in water medium. The competitive adsorption mechanism of BCD-CA with EDCs is mainly achieved through chemisorption, and adsorption of 4-tert-octylphenol is most favorable.

Summary: Reclaimed water irrigation showed no significant impact on phenol concentrations in agricultural topsoil and products, as well as bioaccumulation factors (BCFs) and yields of wheat and vegetables compared to groundwater irrigation. However, further experiments are needed to analyze the effects of reclaimed water quality on the risk of phenol contamination.

Summary: This study evaluated the toxicity of alkylphenols ethoxylates, specifically nonylphenol and octylphenol, as well as their mixtures. The results showed that they were cytotoxic, affected the antioxidant system, caused DNA damage, and had harmful effects on gonadal cells.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the safety issues of BP-3 and BP-1 in the human body and found that they have endocrine disrupting properties. HBM studies showed that North Americans have potential exposure levels 10 to 20 times higher than Europeans and Asians. Therefore, it is recommended to use commercially available sunscreens with inorganic UV filters for susceptible populations.

Summary: Biodegradable plastics are being considered as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics in agriculture. However, the release of organic additives from biodegradable plastics remains a concern. This study comprehensively analyzes the types of organic additives used in plastics and discusses their potential impact on the environment. The research also highlights the need for further investigation on the fate and distribution of these additives in agricultural soils.

Summary: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that are concerning for fetal exposure. Placenta can serve as a good indicator for potential fetal exposure. This study compared the presence of these chemicals in human and dog placentas, and found differences in the types and concentrations of pollutants, indicating species-specific effects.
