Phthalate Metabolite, Mono(2‐Ethyl‐5‐Hydroxyhexyl) Phthalate (MEHHP), Promotes Uterine‐Fibroid–Associated Phenotypes in Myometrial Stem Cell‐Derived 3D Organoids

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono‐(2‐ethyl‐5‐hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells (MMSCs).

Bisphenols and Phthalates in Bottled Mineral Water: First Evidence of Co‐Occurrence, Estrogenic Activity, and Health Risk in Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), its structural analogs, and phthalates are synthetic chemicals widely used, with documented endocrine‐disrupting activity. This study aimed to develop and validate a selective multiresidue analytical method for the simultaneous determination of BPA, 10 bisphenol analogs, and six phthalates in PET‐bottled mineral water.

From Consumer Plastics to Aquatic Toxicants: Oxidative and Endocrine Effects of Microplastics on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) Larvae

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary microplastics (MPs) from single‐use consumer products are rapidly becoming one of the most persistent and widespread pollutants of our time. Freshwater systems act as early sinks for MPs where fragmentation and additive leaching expose aquatic life to a broad spectrum of toxic compounds.

Gas check prevention during calendering of poly(vinyl chloride) films using poly(caprolactone)‐based additives

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 441-452, March 2025.
Three poly(caprolactone) (PCL)‐based additives of differing molecular weights were used as a secondary plasticizer to prevent gas checks in PVC films produced through calendering. Results showed that chemical and physicochemical properties influence the prevention or reduction of gas checks, unlike rheological properties including complex viscosity and

Optimised Molecular Traps and Conjugated Structures for Superior High‐Temperature Capacitive Performance in Polyimide

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the fields of automotive electronics, power electronics, and aerospace, environmental conditions are often extremely harsh, particularly for materials that must endure high temperatures, high power and require high stability. The degradation of capacitance performance in polymer dielectrics under high electric fields and elevated ...

Ultra‐processed food supply in hospitals: A cross‐sectional analysis of Australian hospitals using cook fresh foodservices

Nutrition &Dietetics, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Ultra‐processed foods have been associated with a range of adverse health and environmental impacts, yet their supply in health‐promoting settings like hospitals remains largely unexamined. This study aimed to assess and quantify the proportion of ultra‐processed foods utilised in a sample of Australian hospitals using cook fresh ...

Emollient Formulations and Skin Barrier Practices in the Context of Eczema and Food Allergy Prevention

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The skin is far from a passive shield; it functions as a dynamic “living barrier” whose structural and immunological integrity is paramount in preventing atopic dermatitis (AD) and the subsequent progression of the atopic march toward food allergy (FA).
