Nanoplastics (NP) are present in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Humans can be exposed to them through contaminated water, food, air, or personal care products. Mechanisms of NP toxicity largely unknown the Zebrafish embryo poses an ideal model investigate due its high homology with humans. Our objective study was combine a battery behavioral assays endocrine related gene expression, further explore potential neurotoxic effects on animal behavior. Polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNP) were...

Nanoplastics (NPs) have been found in many ecological environments (aquatic, terrestrial, air). Currently, there is great concern about the exposition and impact on animal health, including humans, because of effects ingestion accumulation these nanomaterials (NMs) aquatic organisms their incorporation into food chain. NPs´ mechanisms action humans are currently unknown. In this study, we evaluated altered molecular human neural stem cell line (hNS1) after 4 days exposure to 30 nm...

One of the aims European Human Biomonitoring Initiative, HBM4EU, was to provide examples and good practices for effective use human biomonitoring (HBM) data in health risk assessment (RA). The need such information is pressing, as previous research has indicated that regulatory assessors generally lack knowledge experience HBM RA. By recognising this gap expertise, well added value incorporating into RA, paper support integration Based on work we different approaches including RA estimations...

The use of pyrethroids is very broad and shows increasing trends. Human biomonitoring studies represent the best approach for realistic risk estimations, but their interpretation requires a tiered approach. A previous HBM4EU study indicated levels in European children groups just around threshold concern, requiring further refinement. main difficulty that several with different toxicity potencies generate same urinary metabolites. As diet pyrethroid source general population, EU food...
