“…In the last decade, studies have shown that humans are exposed to 4-NP, BPA and TCS through various routes: air, soil, sediment, water, food, drink and even skin contact (Benotti et al, 2009;Guenther et al, 2002;Kang et al, 2006;Loyo-Rosales et al, 2004). Meanwhile, 4-NP, BPA and TCS have already been detected in human urine, blood and breast milk of some countries (Ademollo et al, 2008;Allmyr et al, 2006Allmyr et al, , 2008Calafat et al, 2008a,b;Inoue et al, 2000Inoue et al, , 2003Vandenberg et al, 2007); and BPA was even found in amniotic fluid, follicular fluid, placental tissue, semen, umbilical cord blood, fetal serum and adipose tissues (Vandenberg et al, 2007;Vandenberg et al, 2010).…”
