Abstract Background Many phthalates are environmental pollutants and toxic to humans. Following phthalate regulations, human exposure has globally decreased with time in European countries, the US Korea. Conversely, their substitutes DEHT and/or DINCH increased. In other including China, little is known on time-trends these plasticizers. Objective We aimed estimate urinary concentrations of phthalates, DEHT, metabolites, general population from non-European last decade. Methods compiled...
The Global Monitoring Plan of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) was established to generate long-term data necessary for evaluating effectiveness regulatory measures at a global scale. After decade passive air monitoring (2008-2019), MONET is first network produce sufficient analysis temporal trends POPs in African atmosphere. This study reports concentrations 20 (aldrin, chlordane, chlordecone, DDT, dieldrin, endrin, endosulfan, HBCDD, HCB, HCHs, heptachlor,...
Exposure to bisphenols has been found have adverse effects on male reproductive function in animals. Human exposure is widespread. Bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogues, including bisphenol S (BPS), F (BPF), AF (BPAF) are utilized various consumer products such as food contact materials dental resins. The of these compounds fertility spermatogenesis unclear findings from human studies inconsistent. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the influence BPA, BPS, BPF, BPAF (BPs) measured...
Abstract. This study investigated 48 current-use pesticides (CUPs) and 30 organochlorine (OCPs) in ambient air at a rural-agricultural site the Czech Republic, with biweekly sampling over three 10 years, respectively. Despite being banned decades ago, OCPs persist atmosphere, revolatilisation from soils apparent summer. Temporal trend analysis revealed decreasing atmospheric concentrations for several OCPs, which indicate diminishing reservoirs environmental compartments especially soil...
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in diet are a health concern and their monitoring food has been introduced the European Union. In developing countries, EDC dietary exposure data scarce, especially from areas perceived as pollution hotspots, including industrialized countries like India. Several persistent organic pollutants (POPs) act EDCs pose pressure to human mainly through exposure. present study, range of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),...
Atmospheric concentrations and temporal trends of PCB 28 measured by co-located active (green) passive (red) air sampling at the Birkenes monitoring station in Norway from 2004–2018.
Many attempts have been made to quantify the relationship between amount of persistent organic pollutants sequestered by passive air sampling devices and their actual concentrations in ambient air. However, this information may not be necessary for some applications. In study, two sets 30 ten-year-long time series simultaneous high-volume active carried out at Košetice observatory Czech Republic were used a comparison temporal trends. Fifteen polyaromatic hydrocarbons, seven polychlorinated...
Exposure to bisphenols is related negative effects on male reproduction. The exposure associated with several modes of action including impact the blood-testis barrier (BTB) in testes or direct effect spermatozoa. Bisphenols have been detected human seminal plasma, but possible mechanism transfer not clear. Some authors consider through be crucial. Therefore, this work, we compared normozoospermic men and after vasectomy who interrupted vas deferens their ejaculate does contain testicular...
Currently, ultrasound-guided central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is recommended in pediatric patients. However, the clinical practice may vary. The primary aim of this study was overall success rate and first attempt CVC versus anatomic-based secondary incidence associated complications procedural time. physician could freely choose cannulation method approach. Data were collected for 10 months. Overall, 179 patients assessed eligibility 107 included. In almost half (48.6%), percutaneous...
The Global Monitoring Plan of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) was established to generate long-term data necessary for evaluating effectiveness regulatory measures at a global scale. After 15 years passive air monitoring (2003–2019), MONET is first network produce sufficient analysis continuous temporal trends POPs in across entire European continent. This study reports concentrations 20 monitored 32 sites 27 countries. As January 1, 2019, concentration...
In this study, we aimed to characterise exposure pyrethroids, organophosphates, and tebuconazole through multiple pathways in 110 parent-child pairs participating the CELSPAC-SPECIMEn study.First, estimated daily intake (EDI) of pesticides based on measured urinary metabolites. Second, compared EDI with pesticide from food. We used linear regression identify main predictors concentrations. also assessed relationship between concentrations organic non-organic food consumption while...
The aim of this survey was to compare total mercury (THg) in canned fish terms species and fishing area. A number 110 samples fish, which were divided by area, analysed. highest THg content muscle tissue found the escolar. In other species, level detected tuna. Mercury tuna differed significantly from mackerel, sardine, sprat. herring order according their corresponds status aquatic food chain. significant difference also between caught closed Mediterranean Black Sea open oceans. content,...
In the last few decades, a plethora of studies have focused on human biomonitoring (HBM) chemical pollutants. Reviewing copious HBM data reported in these is essential for evaluating effectiveness pollution management efforts, example by time-trends. Nevertheless, guidance to systematically evaluate time trends published has never been developed. this study, we therefore present proposal guidelines conduct "time-trend reviews" (TTRs) that examine large datasets pollutant concentrations. We...
Passive air sampling of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) is a relatively inexpensive method that facilitates extensive campaigns with numerous sites. An important question in the design passive-sampling networks concerns number and location samplers. We investigate this example 17 SVOCs sampled at 14 background sites across Czech Republic. More than 200 time series (length 5–11 years) were used to characterize SVOC levels trends between 2003 2015. Six polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),...
Background The impact of the urban environment on human health is a contemporary subject environmental research. Air pollution often considered leading driver. However, plethora other factors within exposome may be involved. At same time, resolution spatial data also an important facet to consider. Generally, systematic tools for accurate risk assessment in are missing or not implemented. Methods long-term air quality (PM 10 , PM 2.5 NO 2 benzene, and SO ) respiratory cardiovascular was...
