Serum Persistent Organic Pollutants and Duration of Lactation among Mexican‐American Women [PDF]

Journal of Environmental and Public Health, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
BACKGROUND: Research suggests that estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals interfere with lactation. OBJECTIVES: (1) to determine if estrogenic persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are associated with shortened lactation duration; (2) to determine ...

Exposure of Juvenile Lake Sturgeon to Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs), Including Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs): Location Differences and Effects on Thyroid Hormones

North American Journal of Fisheries Management, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 123-139, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are ubiquitous throughout aquatic environments. Previous research has shown that CECs can have detrimental effects on fish biology, potentially leading to population impacts. Specifically, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a class of CECs, have been shown to alter thyroid hormones in fish, which ...

Plastics derived endocrine‐disrupting compounds and their effects on early development

Birth Defects Research, Volume 112, Issue 17, Page 1308-1325, October 2020., 2020
Abstract Despite the fact that the estrogenic effects of bisphenols were first described 80 years ago, recent data about its potential negative impact on birth outcome parameters raises a strong rationale to investigate further. The adverse health effects of plastics recommend to measure the impacts of endocrine‐disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as ...

Prenatal and postnatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants and Infant growth: A pooled analysis of seven european birth cohorts [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Infant exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) may contribute to obesity. However, many studies so far have been small, focused on transplacental exposure, used an inappropriate measure to assess postnatal exposure through ...

Maternal concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls and dichlorodiphenyl dichlorethylene and birth weight in Michigan fish eaters: a cohort study

Environmental Health, 2004
Background Studies on maternal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) reported inconsistent findings regarding birth weight: some studies showed no effect, some reported decreased birth weight, and one study found an increase in weights.

Multiple adverse thyroid and metabolic health signs in the population from the area heavily polluted by organochlorine cocktail (PCB, DDE, HCB, dioxin)

Thyroid Research, 2009
Background Several our previous studies showed associations of increasing blood level of persistent organochlorinated pollutants (POPs) with individual thyroid and metabolic adverse health signs in subjects from heavily polluted area (POLL) compared to ...
