From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 116, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Various lines of evidence have shown that bisphenol A [BPA; HO-[C.sub.6][H.sub.4]-C[([CH.sub.3]).sub.2]-[C.sub.6][H.sub.4]-OH] acts as an endocrine disruptor when present in very low doses. We have recently...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 117, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Ubiquitous environmental chemicals, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), are associated with declining human reproductive health, as well as an increasing incidence of cancers of the reproductive...

From:Archives of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology (Vol. 65, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBisphenol A (BPA) is a well-known endocrine disruptor with adverse oestrogen-like effects eliciting adverse effects in humans and wildlife. For this reason it is necessary to set up an efficient removal of BPA from...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 124, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedFor nearly 30 years, Dr. Theo Colborn (1927-2014) dedicated herself to studying the harmful effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on wildlife, humans, and the environment. More recently, she extended this effort to...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 129, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Bisphenol S (BPS) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical and the second most abundant bisphenol detected in humans. In vivo BPS exposure leads to reduced binucleate cell number in the ovine placenta. Binucleate...
