The ubiquitous use of organophosphate flame retardants and plasticizers (PFRs) in a variety consumer products has led to widespread human exposure. Since certain PFRs are developmental carcinogenic toxicants, detailed exposure assessments essential investigate the risk associated with environmental levels. However, such data still lacking for European countries. In this study, concentrations thirteen PFR metabolites were measured urine samples from 600 adolescents Flanders, Belgium....
The Flemish Environment and Health Study (FLEHS) collects information on internal exposure to a broad range of environmental chemicals in the general population Flanders, Northern region Belgium. aim is establish biomonitoring distributions for support public health policy, risk assessment management decisions. In 2017-2018, urine blood samples were collected from 428 teenagers by stratified clustered two stage randomized design. Samples analyzed biomarkers related chlorinated newer...
Exposure to organophosphate flame retardants and plasticizers (PFRs) is commonly estimated by measuring biomarker concentrations in spot urine samples. However, their can vary greatly over time due short biological half-lives variable exposure, potentially leading exposure misclassification. In this study, we examined the within- between-individual between-day variability of PFR metabolites 24-hour pooled samples during five consecutive days. We collected all from 10 healthy adults for 5 On...
Exposure to organophosphate flame retardants and plasticizers (PFRs) increases the risk of asthma allergies. However, little is known about its association with type 2 inflammation (T2) biomarkers used in management The study investigated associations among urinary PFR metabolite concentrations, allergic symptoms, T2 biomarkers. data samples were collected between 2017 2020, including school children (n = 427) aged 9-12 years living Sapporo City, Japan, participants "The Hokkaido Study on...
Tris (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCIPP) is one of the major organophosphate flame retardants present in indoor and outdoor environment. Knowledge biotransformation pathways important to elucidate potential bioavailability toxicity TCIPP identify relevant biomarkers. This study aimed metabolites through vitro human metabolism assays finally confirm these findings urine samples from an occupationally exposed population propose new biomarkers accurately monitor exposure TCIPP. was incubated...
This cross-sectional study investigated associations between exposure to organophosphate flame retardants and plasticizers (PFRs) reproductive steroid hormones in peripubertal children from the Hokkaido Birth Cohort (429 aged 9–12 years; September 2017 March 2020). Thirteen urinary PFR metabolites 14 plasma were using LC–MS/MS four immunoassays. Linear regression for single PFR, quantile g-computation, Bayesian machine kernel (BKMR) models mixtures used examine association PFRs. Among boys,...
