Gestational polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) exposures have been associated with thyroid disruption in pregnant women and adverse neurobehavioral outcomes in their children, but it is unknown if they interfere with children's sleep patterns. We assessed gestational PBDE exposure (16 weeks) and child sleep patterns from ages 2-8 years using 410 mother-child dyads in the Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment (HOME) Study. Gestational biomarkers of serum PBDEs include PBDE-153 (GM ± GSD: 5.

Background: Previous research has yielded inconsistent results on associations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with thyroid hormones, which has been implicated in diabetes development. Studies specifically investigating associations with hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) homeostasis parameters or associations in postmenopausal women are limited.
Methods: Using baseline examination data between 2008 and 2011, we studied 1073 men and 716 postmenopausal women participating in an ancillary study of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL).

In this study, the concentrations of thirty nine (39) polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) congeners were evaluated in orally applied herbal medicinal preparations (HMPs) in Nigeria. The PBDEs were quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The Σ39 PBDE concentrations in the HMPs varied from 2.

The capability to understand and construct synthetic microbiomes is crucial in biotechnological innovation and application. Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is an emerging pollutant, and the understanding of its biodegradation is very limited. Here, a top-down approach was applied for the enrichment of TBBPA-degrading microbiomes from natural microbiomes.

Emerging contaminants (ECs) in aquatic environments pose significant risks to biodiversity and ecosystem health, and have garnered widespread attention. The risk ranking and identifying priority control ECs are of crucial for effective water quality management. This study investigated the occurrence and distribution of 102 ECs in the surface water of the Yangtze River estuary and Hangzhou Bay, and conducted risk assessments and priority identification using toxicity-weighted concentration (TWC) and the toxicological priority index (ToxPi).
