Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Feng-Shan Cai"
- Recent research by Feng-Shan Cai focuses on examining human exposure to a variety of organic contaminants (OCs) using novel non-invasive biomonitoring techniques, particularly analyzing hair and nails as matrices to evaluate fetal and environmental exposure to pollutants.
- Notable findings include the impacts of decontamination processes on the release of incorporated contaminants in hair, and significant bioaccumulation and biotransformation of plasticizers and brominated flame retardants, emphasizing the need for a better understanding of these substances' effects on early human development and aquatic organisms.
- Cai's work highlights the importance of developing and validating advanced analytical methods, such as HPLC-MS/MS, to improve simultaneous assessments of multiple contaminants and identify reliable biomarkers for monitoring exposure to hazardous substances in various environments.
