Neonicotinoids have become the most widely used insecticides in world since introduced mid 1990s, yet extent of human exposure and health impacts is not fully understood. In this study, residues were analyzed seven neonicotinoids fruit vegetable samples collected from two cross-sectional studies: U.S. Congressional Cafeteria study (USCC) Hangzhou China (HZC) study. We then employed a relative potency factor method to integrate all each food sample using respective reference dose values as...

Despite the fact that biological processes of chiral compounds are enantioselective, endocrine disruption activity and uptake contaminants with respect to enantioselectivity has so far received limited research. In this study, estrogenic potential enantiomers a newer pyrethroid insecticide, bifenthrin (BF), were investigated. Significant differences in observed between two vitro human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cell proliferation assay (i.e., E-SCREEN assay) vivo aquatic vertebrate vitellogenin...

As the substitute of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), further assessments about potential ecological safety and health risks phosphorus-containing flame retardants (PFRs) are required because worldwide demand for PFRs has been increasing every year. In this study, we examined agonistic/antagonistic activity a group by three in vitro models (luciferase reporter gene assay, yeast two-hybrid E-screen assay). Molecule docking was used to explain interactions between ERα PFRs. Data from...

To investigate the role of glycine betaine in photosynthesis under stress, a transgenic wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) line T6 overaccumulating and its wild type Shi4185 were used. Seedlings exposed to conditions drought (30%, PEG-6000), heat (40°C) their combination. The results revealed ultrastructural damage chloroplast thylakoid lamellae with withered phenotype by both was exacerbated combination heat. appearance K step typical O-J-I-P curve decrease Hill activity indicated reduction...

In the past two decades, neonicotinoid insecticides have been widely used in agricultural activities China. Many previous studies investigated pollution aquatic ecosystems, but status of water safety uses China is very scarce. The present study aims to reveal spatial and temporal distribution neonicotinoids rivers, then evaluate ecological risks animals. Water samples were collected from all sixteen rivers along east coast during dry wet seasons 2016, nine individual commercialized...

Neonicotinoid insecticides have been widely consumed worldwide, particularly in China. There is a growing interest the environmental research community about occurrence, fates, sources, and risks of neonicotinoids. Nine neonicotinoids river/lake water were measured at 12 sites along Yangtze River Basin during dry wet seasons 2016, nonpoint sources also identified based on modified mass balance method. A significantly higher concentration was found season probably due to dilution effect...

The ecological and health risk assessment of environmental pesticide residues have attracted ever-growing attention; however, their transformation products (TPs) seldom been considered. Herein, we examined the endocrine-disrupting effects 4 widely used pesticides as pyriproxyfen (Pyr), malathion (ML), benalaxyl (BX), fenoxaprop-ethyl (FE), together with 21 TPs through in vitro silico approaches, found approximately 50% exhibited stronger than corresponding parent compounds. Specifically, Pyr...

Background: Human breast milk is a primary route of exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in infants. To understand the associated risks, occurrence PFAS human and toxicokinetics infants need be addressed. Objectives: We determined levels emerging legacy urine samples from Chinese breastfed infants, estimated renal clearance, predicted infant serum levels. Methods: In total, were collected 1,151 lactating mothers 21 cities China. addition, 80 paired cord blood obtained two cities....
