Endocrine disruptors are widely present in the environment and defined as a subset of endocrine due to biological activity environmental estrogens (xenoestrogens). These substances persist trace pollutants contribute material cycle. Atmospheric transportation is regarded main source xenoestrogens inland lakes. However, previous research on air-water exchange ecological freshwaters has been limited, studies have indicated that sex differences may result heterogeneity health effects same air pollutants. Consequently, this study aims access interface process selected risks associated with non-dietary exposure adults. The results showed significant direction for various exogenous estrogens. rate dibutyl phthalate closely correlated temperature humidity. Discrepancies melting point water solubility other rate. Moreover, intake hazards posed by six atmospheric fine particulate matter within acceptable limits (Total Health Risk < 1). Among these, dioctyl phthalate, identified potential carcinogenic pollutant, also falls an level risk (<10-6). In Suzhou, men found face higher from inhalation skin-to-skin contact compared women when outdoors. This finding contributes comprehensive understanding pollution profile Taihu Lake Basin. It supports refinement implementation policies estrogen management.
