Synthesis and performance evaluation of novel soybean oil‐based plasticisers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 140, Issue 45, December 5, 2023., 2023
Four bio‐based plasticiser candidates were synthesised from epoxidised soybean oil (ESBO). Plasticised PVC samples were prepared with these plasticisers and analysed by TGA, DMA, tensile testing and SEM. The product of methoxylated polyethylene glycol and ESBO showed good performance across all tests.

The internal exposure of phthalate metabolites and bisphenols in waste incineration plant workers and the associated health risks

Environment International, 2020
Many hazardous substances can be released during incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW), which pose a potential threat to human health. As additives, phthalates (PAEs) and bisphenols (BPs), which are widely used in daily goods, are likely to be ...

Clinical and cost effectiveness of a system for turning and positioning intensive care unit patients, when compared to usual care turning and positioning devices, for the prevention of hospital‐acquired pressure injuries. A randomised controlled trial

International Wound Journal, Volume 20, Issue 9, Page 3567-3579, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Pressure injuries affect 13.1% to 45.5% of patients in the intensive care unit and lead to pain and discomfort for patients, burden on healthcare providers, and unnecessary cost to the health system. Turning and positioning systems offer improvements on usual care devices, however the evidence of the effectiveness of such systems is still ...

Report of the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) on the available evidence in relation to the potential obesogenic activity of certain chemical compounds that may be present in foods

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 1, Issue 2, September‐December 2023., 2023
Abstract According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity and overweight have reached epidemic proportions globally. In Spain, the prevalence of obesity is high, especially in childhood, with an upward trend in the last two decades. While improving dietary habits and increasing physical activity has been the main focus on reducing obesity, its

A comparative assessment of the use of suitable analytical techniques to evaluate plasticizer compatibility

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 140, Issue 30, August 10, 2023., 2023
Analytical methods have been evaluated as potential ways to improve upon the ASTM D3291 plasticizer compatibility test. GC–MS was successfully used to quantify the exudation of three different plasticisers from PVC. FTIR could not detect plasticizer exudation at this level.

Re‐evaluation of the risks to public health related to the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in foodstuffs

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Abstract In 2015, EFSA established a temporary tolerable daily intake (t‐TDI) for BPA of 4 μg/kg body weight (bw) per day. In 2016, the European Commission mandated EFSA to re‐evaluate the risks to public health from the presence of BPA in foodstuffs and to establish a tolerable daily intake (TDI). For this re‐evaluation, a pre‐established protocol was
