Article Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is the most simple and predominant component of the Bisphenol family. BPA is widely present in the environment and the human body as a result of its extensive usage in the plastic and epoxy resins of consumer goods like water bottles, food containers, and tableware. Since the 1930s, when BPA's estrogenic activity was first observed, and it was labeled as a "mimic hormone of E2", studies on the endocrine-disrupting effects of BPA then have been widely conducted. As a top vertebrate model for genetic and developmental studies, the zebrafish has caught tremendous attention in the past two decades. By using the zebrafish, the negative effects of BPA either through estrogenic signaling pathways or non-estrogenic signaling pathways were largely found. In this review, we tried to draw a full picture of the current state of knowledge on the estrogenic and non-estrogenic effects of BPA with their mechanisms of action through the zebrafish model of the past two decades, which may help to fully understand the endocrine-disrupting effects of BPA and its action mechanism, and give a direction for the future studies.

A Core Physiologically Based Toxicokinetic (PBTK) Model for Exposure Assessment of Multiple Environmental Phenols.

Environmental phenols are widely used in consumer products and are of increasing concern due to their potential endocrine-disrupting effects. Physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) models offer a powerful tool for estimating human exposure by translating biomonitoring data into external intake values. However, conventional PBTK models are typically chemical-specific and resource-intensive.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a persistent organic pollutant with toxic effects on human health and ecosystems. In this study, the performance of MWCNT-OH functionalized with iron nanoparticles (MWCNT-OH@Fe) using sugarcane bagasse extract as a reducing agent (green synthesis) was evaluated for BPA adsorption. The kinetics are fast, between 10 and 20 min in the range of concentrations evaluated and the resistance to external film diffusion (external film mass transfer) identified as the rate-limiting step of the process.

The central nervous system (CNS) is particularly vulnerable to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, especially bisphenol analogues. Bisphenol A (BPA), a widely studied compound, has been associated with various neurological disorders, leading to restrictions on its use and the subsequent adoption of alternative chemicals such as 4-hydroxy-4'-isopropoxydiphenylsulfone (BPSIP). However, concerns regarding the potential neurotoxicity of BPSIP have emerged.

The CLARITY-BPA Core Study is the most comprehensive animal study of oral bisphenol A (BPA) exposure to date. Rats were exposed daily, until postnatal day 21 or for the animals' lifetime. While the study authors concluded that several observations at the highest dose may be BPA treatment-related, a No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL) has not been proposed in the published reports.

Human activity has led to the increment of diverse pollutants. Plastics have great practical value since they are present in everyday products. However, not only plastics have gained importance, but their plasticizers such as bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates and other chemicals such as the polyaromatic hydrocarbon compounds (PAHs) have described to impact in human and animal health because of its chronic exposure and that they are endocrine disruptors (EDs).
