Accumulation and translocation of polybrominated diphenyl ethers into plant under multiple exposure scenarios

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2020
Plant foliar uptake is an essential part of the overall biogeochemical cycling of semivolatile organic compounds. Chambers were therefore designed to expose wheat to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) via various combinations of exposure routes (i.e.,

Evaluation and Development of a Novel Fire Barrier for Upholstered Furniture Enhancing Passive Fire Protection and the Mitigation of Chemical Exposure

open access: yesFire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 108-122, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the effectiveness of fire barrier solutions for upholstered furniture to enhance passive fire protection and reduce chemical exposure risks during regular use. Upholstered furniture ignition accounts for 22% of fatalities in reported home fires, often due to rapid flame spread and high heat conditions.

Fetal exposure to a mixture of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals and biomarkers of male fecundity: A population‐based cohort study

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 76-89, January 2026.
Abstract Background Fetal exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been associated with reduced male fecundity, but with few studies considering chemical mixtures. Objectives We assessed the association between fetal exposure to a mixture of EDCs and biomarkers of male fecundity in young adulthood.
