Abstract There is a growing necessity to acquire more profound knowledge on the quantity of eluates from resin-based dental materials, especially with regard bisphenol A (BPA). The aim present study was develop highly sensitive method characterize short-term release BPA in saliva ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), using an extraction step and additional derivatization pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride. Light-cured composites were incubated at 37 °C 1 mL...
Abstract Exposure to volcanic ash is a long-standing health concern for people living near active volcanoes and in distal urban areas. During transport deposition, subjected various physicochemical processes that may change its surface composition and, consequently, bioreactivity. One such process the interaction with anthropogenic pollutants; however, potential adsorbed, deleterious organic compounds directly impact human unknown. We use an vitro bioanalytical approach screen presence of...
Introduction: Many natural or synthetic compounds used in foods, dietary supplements, and food contact materials (FCMs) are suspected endocrine disruptors (EDs). Currently, scientific evidence to predict the impacts on biological systems of ED mixtures is lacking. In this study, three classes substances were considered: i) phytoestrogens, ii) plant protection products (PPP) iii) related FCMs. Fourteen selected based their potential activity presence Methods: These evaluated using an vitro...
Abstract Sustainable bisphenol A (BPA) substitutes should be safe and renewable to abolish the environmental burden of BPA’s endocrine disruption petrochemical origin. Suitable alternatives preferably also retain rigid stiff methylenediphenol (MDP) scaffold emulate hallmark performance BPA-based polymers. Here, we report a holistic solution sustainable BPA made from abundant lignin-derivable o -methoxyphenols that display low-to-undetectable xeno-estrogenic activity while preserving MDP...
