Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolism and kinetics of bisphenol a in humans at low doses following oral administration.
TL;DR: The efficient glucuronidation of bisphenol A and the rapid excretion of the formed glucuronide result in a low body burden of the estrogenic bispenol A in humans following oral absorption of low doses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perfluorinated compounds--exposure assessment for the general population in Western countries.
TL;DR: Overall, the contribution of PFOS and PFOA precursors to total exposure seems to be limited, and besides this background exposure of the general population, a specific additional exposure may occur which causes an increased PFC body burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human exposure to bisphenol A by biomonitoring: Methods, results and assessment of environmental exposures
Wolfgang Dekant,Wolfgang Völkel +1 more
TL;DR: In urine samples from several cohorts, bisphenol A (as glucuronide) was present in average concentrations in the range of 1-3 microg/L suggesting that daily human exposure to bispenol A is below 6 microg per person for the majority of the population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre- and postnatal exposure to perfluorinated compounds (PFCs).
Hermann Fromme,Christine Mosch,Maria Morovitz,Irene Alba-Alejandre,Sigrun Boehmer,Mandy Kiranoglu,Fabienne L Faber,Iris Hannibal,Orsolya Genzel-Boroviczény,Berthold Koletzko,Wolfgang Völkel +10 more
TL;DR: Low levels of PFCs in cord sera and an increase in concentrations through the first months of infant life are found and this intake led to a body burden at the age of six months similar to (PFOS) or higher than (PFOA) that found in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical evaluation of key evidence on the human health hazards of exposure to bisphenol A
Jan G. Hengstler,Heidi Foth,Thomas Gebel,P.-J. Kramer,W. Lilienblum,H. Schweinfurth,Wolfgang Völkel,Klaus-Michael Wollin,Ursula Gundert-Remy +8 more
TL;DR: The Advisory Committee of the German Society of Toxicology reviewed the background and cutting-edge topics of this BPA controversy and concluded that rodent data can well be used as a basis for human risk evaluation and conjectures that rats are insensitive to estrogens compared to humans can be refuted.
