18 Apr Phthalate Exposure and Neurotoxicity in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

This systematic review aims to assess the relationship between prenatal and childhood exposure to phthalates and neurodevelopmental outcomes, identifying periods of heightened susceptibility. Data sources considered studies examining repeated phthalate exposure during pregnancy and childhood on neurodevelopment. Evaluation included bias risk and study quality criteria. Evidence...

18 Apr Association between Emission Parameters and Material-phase Concentrations of Phthalate Plasticizers and their Alternatives

ABSTRACT Plasticizers are frequently used in building materials and consumer products and many are semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). Understanding the emission rate of plasticizers in indoor environments is critical for subsequent exposure and health risk assessments. While concerns have been increasing regarding the use of phthalate...

18 Apr A rapid micro chamber method to measure SVOC emission and transport model parameters

ABSTRACT Assessing exposure to semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) that are emitted from consumer products and building materials in indoor environments is critical for reducing the associated health risks. Many modeling approaches have been developed for SVOC exposure assessment indoors, including the DustEx webtool. However, the applicability...

06 Mar Development, testing, parameterisation, and calibration of a human PBPK model for the plasticiser, di-(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHTP) using in silico, in vitro and human biomonitoring data

ABSTRACT A physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for di-(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHTP) based on a refined model for di-(2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP) was developed to interpret the metabolism and biokinetics of DEHTP following a single oral dose of 50 mg to three male volunteers. In vitro and in silico methods were used to generate...

28 Oct Systematic comparison of the male reproductive tract in fetal and adult Wistar rats exposed to DBP and DINP in utero during the masculinisation programming window

ABSTRACT This study investigates possible effects of in utero exposure of rats to a low dose (125 mg/kg bw/day) and a high dose (750 mg/kg bw/day) of Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) during the masculinisation programming window (MPW) which is embryonic days 15.5–18.5 (e15.5 - e18.5). Dibutyl phthalate...

11 Aug Development of a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model of diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) in pregnant rat and human

ABSTRACT   A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for di-isononyl phthalate (DiNP) was developed by adapting the existing models for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and di-butylphthalate (DBP). Both pregnant rat and human time-course plasma and urine data were used to address the hydrolysis of DiNP in intestinal tract,...
