The invertebrate innate immunity is a crucial characteristic that represents a valuable basis
for studying common biological responses to environmental pollutants. Cell defence …

Thousands of anthropogenic chemicals are present in the environment, and mounting
evidence indicates that some have endocrine-disrupting effects in a variety of organisms. Of …

Even though ozone has been applied for a long time for disinfection and oxidation in water
treatment, there is lack of critical information related to transformation of organic compounds …

Experimental studies investigating the effects of endocrine disruptors frequently identify
potential unconventional dose-response relationships called non-monotonic dose-response …

Emerging contaminants occur in parts per trillion or less in aquatic matrices. The effects
related to the exposure of aquatic biota and human to them have been identified for different …

For decades, studies of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have challenged traditional
concepts in toxicology, in particular the dogma of “the dose makes the poison,” because …

This review provides a critical analysis of the biological effects of the most widely used
plasticizers, including dibutyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate, dimethyl phthalate, butyl …

Bisphenol A (BPA) is the monomer used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic, the resin
lining of cans, and other products, with global capacity in excess of 6.4 billion lb/year …

Due to their versatility, robustness, and low production costs, plastics are used in a wide
variety of applications. Plasticizers are mixed with polymers to increase flexibility of plastics …

BACKGROUND: There is broad human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogenic
