Azole fungicides affect mammalian steroidogenesis by inhibiting sterol 14 alpha-demethylase and aromatase.
TL;DR: This is the first review on sterol 14-alpha-demethylase and aromatase as common targets of azole compounds and the consequence for steroidogenesis, and it is concluded that many azoles developed as inhibitors of fungal sterols are inhibitors also of mammalian sterol 13- alpha-dem methylase and mammalian aromatases with unknown potencies.

TL;DR: The estimated mean chronic dietary exposure was above the group‐TDI in infants, toddlers and other children, and at high exposure also in adolescents and adults, indicating a potential health concern.

TL;DR: For PFOS, the increase in serum total cholesterol in adults, and the decrease in antibody response at vaccination in children were identified as the critical effects and the CONTAM Panel established a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 13 ng/kg body weight (bw) per week for PFOS and 6 ng/ kg bw for PFOA.

TL;DR: The CONTAM Panel was not able to identify reference values in most farm and companion animals with the exception of NOAELs for mink, chicken and some fish species, and the estimated exposure from feed for these species does not imply a risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Azo dyes in clothing textiles can be cleaved into a series of mutagenic aromatic amines which are not regulated yet
TL;DR: The outcome of this study indicates that mutagenic AAs in textile azo dyes are of much higher concern than previously expected, which entails implications on the product design and possibly on the regulation of azos dyes in the future.
