Evidence suggesting that di-n-butyl phthalate has anti-androgenic effects in fish

, 2011
This article is the pre-print version of the full and final published article.Phthalate ester plasticizers are anti-androgenic in mammals. High doses of certain phthalates consistently interfere with the normal development of male offspring exposed in ...

Impact of low concentrations of phthalates on the effects of 17β-estradiol in MCF-7 breast cancer cells

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2016
Objective: To explore whether lower concentrations of phthalates interfere with the effects of 17β-estradiol on the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Materials and Methods: MCF-7 cells were treated with 17β-estradiol (E2), phthalates, including butyl ...

Exposure estimates of phthalates and DINCH from foods and personal care products in comparison with biomonitoring data in 24-hour urine from the Norwegian EuroMix biomonitoring study

Environment International, 2021
Phthalates are diesters of phthalic acid and have been widely used as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. Phthalates are also used as excipients in pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PCPs).

Steering Oxygen Activation Pathways via Redox Dual‐Defects in 2D Hydrated WO3 for High‐Yield Singlet Oxygen Evolution

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Redox dual‐defects (Cs substitution and O vacancies) in 2D hydrated WO3 steer O2 activation toward selective singlet oxygen evolution. WO‐CO achieves 8.6–15.8 times higher 1O2 production than single‐defect or pristine catalysts, enabling efficient pollutant mineralization via a pathway‐selective photocatalytic mechanism.

Phthalates induce neurotoxicity affecting locomotor and thermotactic behaviors and AFD neurons through oxidative stress in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Phthalate esters are ubiquitous environmental contaminants and numerous organisms are thus exposed to various levels of phthalates in their natural habitat.

Measurement of Phthalates in Settled Dust in University Dormitories and Its Implications for Exposure Assessment

Atmosphere, 2023
Six phthalates: dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di(n-butyl) phthalate (DnBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBzP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and di(n-octyl) phthalate (DOP) in settled dust on different indoor surfaces were measured ...

Eco-toxicity and human estrogenic exposure risks from (OH)-O-center dot-initiated photochemical transformation of four phthalates in water: A computational study

, 2015
Transformation products (TPs) of emerging organic contaminates (EOC5) in water are still rarely considered in environmental risk assessment, although some have been found to be concern.

Lattice Distortion‐Driven Metal Exsolution in Perovskite Oxides

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates the mechanism of lattice distortion‐driven exsolution through a combination of computational simulations and experimental approaches. Lattice distortion facilitates the formation of oxygen vacancies and subsequent metal segregation, thereby enhancing the exsolution behavior.
