A comparative assessment of human exposure to tetrabromobisphenol A and eight bisphenols including bisphenol A via indoor dust ingestion in twelve countries

Bisphenol A Impairs Synaptic Plasticity by Both Pre‐ and Postsynaptic Mechanisms

“…Every year, there is more than 6 billion pounds demanding of BPA for producing dental sealants, thermal receipts, food packaging, plastics bottles, and so on 1. It has been found a broad distribution of BPA in environmental milieus including food, water, dust, and soil 2. A large body of evidence reveals that BPA exposure is related to adverse health effects, e.g., low‐birth weight, reproductive problem, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers 3…”

Emission patterns and risk assessment of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and bromophenols in water and sediments from the Beijiang River, South China

“…In contrast to PBDEs, TBBPA is used primarily as a reactive flame retardant which is covalently bound to polymers and thus less easily released into the environment (de Wit et al, 2010). However, both additive and reactive TBBPA can be released into the environment from products which has been frequently detected in air, water, sediments, soil and human tissues (Nakao et al, 2015;Ni and Zeng, 2013;Wang et al, 2015a;Xiong et al, 2015). Several studies have demonstrated the toxic properties of TBBPA, including endocrine-disrupting activity, immunotoxicity, and neurotoxicity (Decherf et al, 2010;Hendriks et al, 2014;Nakajima et al, 2009).…”

“…The most used BFRs are polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) as well as hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) (Covaci et al, 2003). Although some of BFRs have been banned recently (BSEF, 2014) or are restricted in use due to their persistence, toxicity and bioaccumulation, they are still often detected in various environmental matrices (An et al, 2011a;Chen et al, 2009;Xiong et al, 2015) and biota (Cruz et al, 2015;He et al, 2012;Sun et al, 2015), even in humans (Covaci et al, 2003;Wang et al, 2015a). Because of their continued presence in the environment, their emission patterns were monitored frequently.…”

A review of the environmental distribution, fate, and control of tetrabromobisphenol A released from sources

“…TBBPA as a persistent compound has been detected in soil (Qu et al, 2013;Zhu et al, 2014;Matsukami et al, 2015), sediment (Wang et al, 2015a;Yang et al, 2012;He et al, 2013;Xiong et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2009b;Feng et al, 2012), sludge (Song et al, 2014;Gorga et al, 2013;Morris et al, 2004), surface water (Xu et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2012;Xiong et al, 2015), dust (Ni and Zeng, 2013;Zhou et al, 2014b;Wang et al, 2015b;Wu et al, 2016), and air (Zhou et al, 2014b;Xie et al, 2007;Schlabach et al, 2011). The highest levels of TBBPA in Chinese soil were found in a BFR manufacturing area in Shouguang, Shandong (1.64-7758 ng/g dw) (Zhu et al, 2014).…”
