Abstract: Contaminant studies in cetaceans can provide information about pollutant levels and patterns in a given region. Due to the confounding effects of reproductive status and maternal offloading in females, these studies typically focus on males. However, a...
Do changes in persistent organic pollutants after bariatric surgery cause endocrine disruption?
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Chemosphere [Chemosphere] 2023 Feb; Vol. 313, pp. 137461. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Dec 02.
Abstract: Background: Bariatric surgery results in weight loss, marked endocrine changes and the release of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The release of POPs might cause endocrine disruption. The study aimed to explore associations between POPs and adipo...
First WHO/UNEP survey of the current concentrations of persistent organic pollutants in human milk in Morocco.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Food additives & contaminants. Part A, Chemistry, analysis, control, exposure & risk assessment [Food Addit Contam Part A Chem Anal Control Expo Risk Assess] 2023 Feb; Vol. 40 (2), pp. 282-293. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Dec 15.
Abstract: The presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in human milk is an indicator of the level of these substances in the environment and enables evaluation of the potential exposure of breastfed children. POPs concentrations in a Moroccan human milk ...
Persistent organic pollutants in human milk from primiparae - correlations, global, regional, and national time-trends.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Chemosphere [Chemosphere] 2023 Feb; Vol. 313, pp. 137484. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Dec 10.
Abstract: Human breast milk reflects body burden of chemicals and has been used for exposure assessment to estimate risks of humans from pollutants. Harmonized protocols for sampling and analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have become widely availab...
Cross-sectional associations of persistent organic pollutants measured in adipose tissue and metabolic syndrome in clinically diagnosed middle-aged adults.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
