Chemical analysis of 17β‐estradiol, estrone and 17α‐ethinylestradiol levels showed that they accounted for the majority of the observed in vitro estrogenic activity in the final effluents but only 18 to 70% of estrogenic activity in the influents. Removal efficiency for androgenic activity was 97.5 to 100%. Endocrine activity ...
The incorporation of brominated flame retardants into industrial and household appliances has increased their occurrence in the environment resulting in deleterious effects on wildlife. With the increasing restraints on available compounds there has been a shift to using BFRs that has seen the production of alternative BFRs such as 1,2‐dibromo‐4‐(1,2 dibromoethyl) cyclohexane (TBECH). TBECH ...
Reporter gene assays were used to detect receptor‐mediated (anti‐)estrogenic, (anti‐)androgenic, and (anti‐)thyroid hormone activities. The effect of PFOS on steroidogenesis was assessed both at hormone levels in the supernatant and at expression levels of hormone‐induced genes in the H295R cell. ...
