Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the cardiotoxic effects of the flame retardant TDCIPP on marine medaka embryos over a 21-day exposure period.
- Results indicate that TDCIPP exposure disrupts heart rate and causes structural heart defects, particularly at higher concentrations (50 μg/L).
- The research highlights that TDCIPP's toxic effects are most pronounced during early cardiac development and include altered gene expression, oxidative stress, and reduced vitellogenin levels.
Article Synopsis
- * Industrial runoff and sewage discharges were identified as the main sources of PFAS contamination, with certain PFAS types showing increased concentrations correlated with larger fish size and higher fat content.
- * The risk analysis indicated that long-term consumption of contaminated fish could elevate health risks, particularly concerning kidney cancer, but suggested a safe daily intake of specific fish muscle to achieve fatty acid benefits without adverse health effects.
Phthalate monoesters accumulation in residential indoor dust and influence factors.

October 2024
Phthalate monoesters (mPAEs) possess biological activity that matches or even exceeds that of their parent compounds, phthalate esters (PAEs), negatively impacting humans. Indoor dust is the main carrier of indoor pollutants. In this study, indoor dust samples were collected from 46 households in Changchun City, Jilin Province, in May 2019, and particulate and flocculent fibrous dust was used as the research target to analyze the concentration and compositional characteristics of mPAEs, primary metabolites of five significant PAEs.

PAEs are toxic to reproduction and development and may adversely affect the health of adolescents. Risk assessments of exposure to PAEs from different sources are more reflective of actual exposure than single-source assessments.
