Antioxidant vitamins’ modification of the adverse health effects induced by phthalate exposure: A scoping review of epidemiological and experimental studies

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The exposure to and health hazards of phthalates have received abundant attention. However, reducing phthalate exposure and further decreasing the associated health risks are difficult.

The environmental costs of clean cycles: Quantitative analysis for the case of PVC window profile recycling in Germany

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1755-1770, December 2024.
Abstract Recycling schemes for long‐lived products are challenged by the presence of “legacy substances,” which have been used in production in the past, but are nowadays classified as substances of concern. This study quantitatively evaluates the trade‐offs between phasing out legacy substances, increasing circularity levels, and reducing life cycle ...

Endocrine disruption of adipose physiology: Screening in SGBS cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 44, Issue 11, Page 1784-1792, November 2024.
Abstract The increasing use of industrial chemicals has raised concerns regarding exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interfere with developmental, reproductive and metabolic processes. Of particular concern is their interaction with adipose tissue, a vital component of the endocrine system regulating metabolic and hormonal ...

Metabolic disrupting chemicals in the intestine: the need for biologically relevant models

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 1397-1419, September 2024.
In this review, we aimed to study how the intestine may be disrupted by metabolic endocrine disruptors (MDCs) both in its own metabolism and in its relationships with other organs. Zebrafish shares numerous similarities with human gastrointestinal tract, representing an opportunity to study the complex interactions of MDCs at the intestinal level and ...

Environmental chemicals in dog testes reflect their geographical source and may be associated with altered pathology

Scientific Reports, 2021
In humans and dogs, a temporal decline in semen quality and increased incidence of testicular cancer is hypothesised to be associated with exposure to anthropogenic chemicals, particularly during fetal development. Human studies suggest that differential

Influence of Programming and Recovery Parameters on Compressive Behaviors of 4D‐Printed Biocompatible Polyvinyl Chloride or Vinyl–Poly(ε‐Caprolactone) Blends

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 26, Issue 12, June 2024.
This work introduces a new class of biocompatible shape‐memory polymers by blending polyvinyl chloride or vinyl and PCL. Thermomechanical and morphological analyses reveal their excellent 4D printability and performance in terms of programmability, compressive shape recovery, shape fixity, working temperature, and stress relaxation.

Prenatal phthalate exposures and anogenital distance in Swedish boys [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Phthalates are used as plasticizers in soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and in a large number of consumer products. Because of reported health risks, diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) has been introduced as a replacement for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate
