Feasibility of ultra-high performance liquid and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry for accurate determination of primary and secondary phthalate metabolites in urine samples.

Anal. Chim. Acta 853 , 625-36, (2014)

Phthalates (PAEs) are ubiquitous toxic chemical compounds. During the last few years, some phthalate metabolites (MPAEs) have been proposed as appropriate biomarkers in human urine samples to determine PAE human intake and exposure. So, it is necessary to hav...

Monitoring of PAEMs and beta-agonists in urine for a small group of experimental subjects and PAEs and beta-agonists in drinking water consumed by the same subjects.

J. Hazard. Mater. 277 , 169-79, (2014)

This 5-month study contains two parts: (1) to monitor the concentrations of 11 phthalate esters metabolites (PAEMs) and two beta-agonists in human urine samples collected from a small group of consented participants including 16 females and five males; and (2...

Phthalate Metabolites in Urine Samples from School Children in Taipei, Taiwan.

Arch. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 69 , 202-7, (2015)

In 2011, Taiwan authorities reported that two phthalates, including di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and di-iso-nonyl phthalate, were intentionally introduced into a variety of foods and beverages during the course of 15 years. However, little is known about body ...

Detection of phthalate metabolites in human saliva.

Arch. Toxicol. 79(11) , 647-52, (2005)

In assessment of exposure to environmental contaminants, the use of unconventional matrices is becoming an increasingly important area of research. Saliva is one of the most promising alternative matrices because its collection is easy, noninvasive, and inexp...

Denitrifying degradation of dimethyl phthalate.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 74(1) , 221-9, (2007)

Results of batch experiments on the denitrifying degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) was most favorable at pH 7-9 and 30-35 degrees C. DMP was first degraded to monomethyl phthalate (MMP), which was in turn degraded to phthalate before complete mineraliza...

Phthalate exposure and human semen quality: Results from an infertility clinic in China.

Environ. Res. 142 , 1-9, (2015)

Exposure to phthalates has been demonstrated to have adverse effects on male reproduction in animal studies, but findings in human studies have been inconsistent. We recruited 1040 men from the Reproductive Center of Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China from March...
