TL;DR: Examination of the toxicity of four PPCPs to midge Chironomus tentans and the freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca in 10-d waterborne exposures concludes that potential risks exist toward benthic invertebrates for theoxicity of TCS and CBZ and that further investigations of these compounds are required to characterize more completely the risks tobenthic organisms.

TL;DR: It is suggested that consumption of invertebrate food items could provide an additional source of exposure to estrogenic substances in vertebrate predators.

TL;DR: In this paper, simple analytical methods were developed for the extraction and determination of four pharmaceuticals and per- sonal care products (PPCPs) from water, sediments, and biota.

TL;DR: The results of the present study suggest that chronic toxicity was not mediated by disruption of endocrine pathways, and that environmental exposure to EE2 likely poses a low risk to benthic invertebrates.

TL;DR: The authors conducted an inductive, qualitative analysis of interviews conducted with the Hadza, a community of small-scale hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, and juxtaposed them with a set of interviews with Americans from North Carolina.
