TL;DR: Among the nine target chemicals analyzed, BPA was the predominant compound in dust from all countries and the proportion of TBBPA in sum concentrations of nine phenolic compounds analyzed in this study was the highest in dust samples from China and the lowest in Greece.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of primary and secondary treatment on the removal of benzothiazoles, benzotriazoles, endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals and perfluorinated compounds in a sewage treatment plant

TL;DR: Advanced treatment processes should be applied in the future for achieving adequate emerging contaminants removal in STPs, as Sorption to primary sludge was a significant mechanism affecting EDCs fate in STP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary biomarkers of exposure to 57 xenobiotics and its association with oxidative stress in a population in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

TL;DR: This is the first biomonitoring study to report exposure of the Saudi population to a wide range of environmental chemicals and provides evidence that environmental chemical exposures contribute to oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benzotriazole, benzothiazole, and benzophenone compounds in indoor dust from the United States and East Asian countries
TL;DR: Daily intake of OCIs through dust ingestion was higher for people in the U.S., Japan, and Korea than in China; the residents in urban China are exposed to higher levels of OCI via dust ingestion than are those in rural China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread occurrence of bisphenol A diglycidyl ethers, p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters (parabens), benzophenone type-UV filters, triclosan, and triclocarban in human urine from Athens, Greece.
TL;DR: In this study, 100 urine samples collected from Athens, Greece, were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of total concentrations of five derivatives of BADGEs, six parabens and their metabolite (ethyl-protocatechuate),Five derivatives of BP-UV filters, TCS, and TCC.
