Perfluoroalkyl substances and thyroid function in older adults
Environment International, 2015 Current understanding of the thyroid disruptive properties of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), particularly in aging populations, is limited. The objectives of this study were to (i) assess associations between thyroid function, as measured by serum ...

Assessment of the hazards of polybrominated biphenyls.
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1978 During their peak use period, PBBs represented under 1% of the total sales of fire retardant chemicals, and very probably would have escaped intensive study if they had not been mixed accidentally with animal feed preparations. Instead, international attention was drawn to PBBs by the state-supervised killing of over 35,000 cattle which had been ...

Analysis of polybrominated biphenyls by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection [PDF]
, 1982 The structure-sensitivity relationship of polybrominated biphenyls analyzed by an electron-capture detector was investigated. The greates variations i n sensitivity with positional isomerism occurred for the least brominated isomers and for ...

Menstrual function among women exposed to polybrominated biphenyls: A follow-up prevalence study
Environmental Health, 2005 Background Alteration in menstrual cycle function is suggested among rhesus monkeys and humans exposed to polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and structurally similar polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The review examines the evolution of chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI‐MS), a technique developed in 1966 by Field and Munson. CI is a soft‐ionization method that produces more intense molecular ions with less fragmentation than electron ionization (EI).

Toxicity of polybrominated biphenyls (Firemaster BP-6) in rodents [PDF]
, 1975 Pregnant rodents were fed concentrations of a mixture of polybrominated biphenyls (Firemaster BP-6) during the pregnancy. The material appears to be weakly teratogenic, causing exencephaly and cleft palate in mice. Decreasing birth weight with increasing

Early-life exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals associates with childhood obesity [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2018 Increasing prevalence of childhood obesity poses threats to the global health burden. Because this rising prevalence cannot be fully explained by traditional risk factors such as unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, early-life exposure to endocrine ...
