“…Similarly, the median of the mean concentrations ( M MC ) of these parabens also follows a similar trend: 285, 662, 4229, and 1949 ng/g for MeP, EtP, PrP, and BuP respectively (Figure A). The M MC of PrP and BuP in this study are much higher than for MeP and EtP (Figure A) and are also higher than those reported for indoor dust collected from homes in the United States, homes in Vietnam, and from University dormitories in China . This trend is also reflected in the mean concentrations of parabens (Table S2).…”

“…Aerosols have the potential to influence human health negatively because they serve as hotspots for micropollutants and, when ingested or absorbed into the body, pose carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic risks. There are recently published reports of aerosols loaded with micropollutants often referred to as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). − Within this broad class of CECs is a subclass of micropollutants called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which includes antimicrobials (e.g., parabens and triclosan) and bisphenol A.…”

“…There are researches that have reported the presence of these EDCs in drinking water, surface water, wastewater, urine, , breast tissues and breast milk, , soil, blood, and in food . Only a few reports show the presence of EDCs in indoor dust samples from Africa, ,− with no report on parabens and triclosan. All other reports from Africa have focused on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), − polychlorinated biphenyls, organophosphate esters, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and phthalic acid esters in indoor dust samples …”

Aerosols from filters in air conditioning systems in three indoor environments (staff offices, libraries, and laboratories) across nine universities in Southwest Nigeria were analysed for the presence of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs): methylparaben (MeP), ethylparaben (EtP), propylparaben (PrP), butylparaben (BuP), triclosan (TCS), and bisphenol A (BPA). A total of 102 indoor aerosol samples were collected. The trend for the mean of mean concentrations ( ) of MeP (405 ng/g) < EtP (698.8 ng/g) < PrP (4326 ng/g) > BuP (2962 ng/g) < BPA (4316 ng/g) < TCS (4943 ng/g) in staff offices is consistent with those found in libraries (MeP = 452 ng/g; EtP = 1936 ng/g; PrP = 4046 ng/g; BuP = 2584 ng/g; BPA = 2472 ng/g; and TCS = 5109 ng/ g). However, the values for EDCs in laboratory aerosols are higher than those found in either staff offices or libraries. Aerosols from indoor environments in universities located in high-population-density areas show higher concentrations of EDCs than in universities established in less populated areas. PrP and TCS were predominant in aerosols from staff offices and libraries, while BuP and TCS were the largest contributors to EDCs in aerosols from the laboratories. PrP is the main contributor to the Hazard Quotients of these EDCs, while PrP and BPA contribute more to the Hazard Index. Data for antimicrobials (parabens and TCS) in aerosols from libraries showed a strong correlation with those from staff offices and laboratories, while for BPA there was a strong correlation between data from libraries and laboratories. The strong correlations between pairs of EDCs in aerosols from different indoor environments suggest that they may have similar accumulation tendencies and the same anthropogenic sources, especially in laboratories. Aerosols in offices of most female staff had higher levels of EDCs compared to those of the male. There is a need to focus on regulating the amount of PrP, TCS, and BPA in pharmaceutical, plastics, and personal care products in Nigeria. This study is the first attempt to report the occurrence and distribution of parabens and TCS in indoor aerosols from the West African sub-region.

“…The third major source of bat exposure to parabens and BPA is likely to be the air. Many previous studies have reported parabens and BPA in the indoor air and house dust, what is connected with the presence of these substances in the building materials, paints, varnishes, epoxy resins, furniture and other items used by the inhabitants [85][86][87][88]. The fact that bat colonies included into the study are located in buildings used by people strongly suggests that the indoor air and dust may be the important source of bat exposure to parabens and BPA.…”

Parabens and bisphenol A are synthetic compounds found in many everyday objects, including bottles, food containers, personal care products, cosmetics and medicines. These substances may penetrate the environment and living organisms, on which they have a negative impact. Till now, numerous studies have described parabens and BPA in humans, but knowledge about terrestrial wild mammals’ exposure to these compounds is very limited. Therefore, during this study, the most common concentration levels of BPA and parabens were selected (such as methyl paraben—MeP, ethyl paraben—EtP, propyl paraben—PrP and butyl paraben—BuP) and analyzed in guano samples collected in summer (nursery) colonies of greater mouse-eared bats (Myotis myotis) using liquid chromatography with the tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) method. MeP has been found in all guano samples and its median concentration levels amounted to 39.6 ng/g. Other parabens were present in smaller number of samples (from 5% for BuP to 62.5% for EtP) and in lower concentrations. Median concentration levels of these substances achieved 0.95 ng/g, 1.45 ng/g and 15.56 ng/g for EtP, PrP and BuP, respectively. BPA concentration levels did not exceed the method quantification limit (5 ng/g dw) in any sample. The present study has shown that wild bats are exposed to parabens and BPA, and guano samples are a suitable matrix for studies on wild animal exposure to these substances.

“…In a previous study, the total parabens content measured in personal care products purchased at stores in Hanoi (n = 13) ranged from 1400 to 5600 µg.g -1 , in which MeP accounted for the highest percentage (about 70 % of the mean concentration value of total parabens), followed by PrP (15 %) and EtP (11 %). [23] From rate percent of parabens identified in personal care products, it was showed the prevalence of typical parabens and the correlation of their distribution in different environments. By optimizing the parameters on the instrument and several conditions during sample treatment procedure, this study has developed a complete method to determine paraben compounds in surface water by using UHPLC-MS/MS system.…”

Parabens are considered one of the ideal preservatives in numerous consumer products due to their high antimicrobial properties. Nevertheless, parabens have the following potentially detrimental effects on human health such as adverse effects on male reproductive system, or accelerated skin aging process and breast cancer. Here, ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS/MS) combined with a solid‐phase extraction procedure was optimized for measuring seven parabens in surface water and proposed as a modified analytical method. The optimized protocol was validated according to the requirements of European standard SANTE/12682/2019. The limits of detection and quantification of the method obtained were 0.04 and 0.82 ng L‐1, respectively. The validated method was applied to analyzing surface water samples collected in Hanoi, Vietnam, indicating not only the presence of seven targeted parabens but also the prevalence of methylparaben in all water samples.
