“…In contrast, the MnBP concentration was two-fold higher in the present study as compared to those reported in the US (GM: 25.29 ng/mL vs.7.14 ng/mL and 13.7 ng/mL, respectively) [30,41]. Furthermore, MBzP was not commonly detected in pregnant Chinese women, with detection frequencies of 45.8% in the present study, 49.3% in the Ma’anshan Birth Cohort [39], 56.7% in a Taiwan birth cohort study [42] and 74.8% in the Wuhan pregnant women study [43]. However, the detection frequencies of maternal urinary MBzP were >95% in the MIREC cohort from Canada in 2008–2011 [44], the UK DEMOCOPHES pilot study conducted in Europe [45], and the US NHANES 2011–2012 [41].…”

“…The lack of awareness of plasticizer contamination was a potential reason explaining the elevated phthalate concentrations in less-educated pregnant women. Recently, certain studies indicated that using inexpensive personal care products made with large amounts of phthalates and residing in older houses may be related to the increased phthalate concentrations in low-income populations [42,48,49]. Many of the subjects did not report their income level in the present study, but the education level could reflect the income level to a certain extent [50], and hence, we may conclude that elevated phthalate exposure could be more likely in a less-educated population.…”

“…Second, it is unclear whether single spot urine levels can reflect prenatal exposure to phthalates over a long time, as they usually have a short half-life. Third, the other possible routes of human exposure to phthalates, such as housing characteristics and personal care products, were not considered as covariates in the present study [42,48].…”

The exposure of pregnant women to phthalates is a major concern due to their adverse effect on developmental outcomes. Diet is an important pathway for exposure to phthalate compounds. Nevertheless, studies on dietary exposure of pregnant women to phthalates in China are limited. We aimed to assess the distribution and dietary predictors of phthalate exposure among pregnant women in China. We measured the levels of 10 urinary phthalate metabolites using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry in 210 pregnant women as part of the 2015 China National Chronic Disease and Nutrition Survey in Shanghai. We assessed the urinary specific gravity-adjusted phthalate metabolite levels along with potential demographic and dietary predictors. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between each potential demographic variable and dietary predictor and urinary phthalate metabolites. Seven urinary phthalate metabolites were detected in >95% of pregnant women. The geometric mean (GM) of urinary phthalate biomarker values were highest for monobutyl phthalate (GM: 25.29 ng/mL) and monoisobutyl phthalate (GM:11.18 ng/mL). Multivariate regression analysis indicated that a lower educational level was associated with elevated urinary phthalate metabolite levels. Edible seaweed consumption had a positive correlation with urinary monoethyl phthalate and monoisobutyl phthalate levels, and the total molar sum of Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate metabolites. These findings offer important data on the dietary exposure to phthalates in pregnant Chinese women and suggest interventions to improve food safety.

“…LABs have been reported to be able to combine mutagenic factors in the media environment via adsorption, acting as biological removers (Schwab et al ., 2000; Wacoo et al ., 2019). Currently, because of plastic products being widely used, the number of plasticisers has increased in our living environments, leading to lots of food safety problems (Hsieh et al ., 2019). Plasticisers can be detected in barley, ganoderma, bean sprouts, etc., mainly deriving from plastic packaging materials, utensils or the contaminated external environments, such as surface water and soil.…”

Summary In this study, DBP (Di‐n‐butyl phthalate) was used as an example to evaluate the plasticiser‐binding ability of lactic acid bacteria strains (LABs). Three strains of Lactobacillus plantarum 121, Leuconostoc mesenteroides DM12 and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM were selected from LABs to test their DBP binding ability in different simulated food matrices. The results indicated that starch, gelatinised starch and glucose could significantly promote the DBP binding efficiencies of LABs. Low‐concentration proteins (<5%) increased the binding rates. However, denatured protein had no significant effect on the DBP binding ability. On the contrary, amino acids reduced the binding rates. AFM detection results indicated that the cell morphology of LAB binding with DBP had no change after treated in gastrointestinal digestive simulation systems. Collectively, the LABs could be employed as a biological detoxification agent for human and animals by eliminating plasticiser from foods, feeds and digestive tract in the future.

“…Numerous chemicals are classi ed as emerging contaminants due to adverse health hazards on the ecosystem through continual direct contact [6]. Some of these chemicals are pharmaceuticals [7], (Li et al, 2020), personal care products [8], pesticides [9] and plastic products [10]. Researchers have used various techniques to remove these trace compounds from water and waste water.…”

The adsorption mechanisms and capacity of adsorbent derived from banana stalks in removing ciprofloxacin (CIP) from aqueous solutions were investigated in this study. The Banana Stalk Activated Carbon (BSAC) was prepared through acid activation and were characterised via SEM, FTIR and pHpzc. The SEM micrograph of BSAC revealed prominent well-developed pores which aid the adsorption process. The FTIR spetra shows the presence of various functional groups for efficient CIP adsorption. The effects of temperature (30 – 70 oC), adsorbent dosage (0.01 – 0.05 g/L), pH (2 - 10),initial adsorbate concentration (1 - 5 mg/L) and contact time (10 - 360 min) were evaluated using batch operations. Optimum CIP adsorption was obtained at pH 6. The maximum monolayer adsorptive capacity of the acid-treated banana stalk was 222.22 mg/g at 30 oC. Langmuir isotherm was the most appropriate isotherm model while pseudo second order kinetics best describe the kinetic process. Its thermodynamic studies indicated endothermic and spontaneous process. The cost implication of BSAC preparation (12.35 USD/kg) indicates that it is about 21 times cheaper than Commercial activated carbon (270.8 USD/kg) while the desorption studies reflects the reusability efficiency of the spent adsorbent. BSAC was found to be effective, efficient and economically viable for ciprofloxacin removal from aqueous solution.
