The aim of the present study was to investigate the kinetics of methylparaben (MPB) and butylparaben (BPB) removal, two emerging pollutants with possible endocrine disrupting effects, from agricultural soil with and without amendment with compost from sewage sludge used as biostimulant. Compound removal is explained by a first-order kinetic model with half-life times of 6.5/6.7 days and 11.4/8.2 days, in presence/absence of compost, for MPB and BPB respectively. % R for the fitted model were higher than 96% in all cases. Additionally, isolation of bacteria capable to grow using MPB or BPB as carbon source was also carry out. Laboratory tests demonstrated the ability of these bacteria to biodegrade MPB and BPB from culture media in more than 95% in some cases. These strains showed high ability to biodegrade the compounds. Ten isolates, most of them related to Gram positive bacteria of the genus Bacillus, were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The study of the enzymatic activities of the isolates revealed both esterase (C4) and esterase-lipase activities.

Association of Phenols, Parabens, and Their Mixture with Maternal Blood Pressure Measurements in the PROTECT Cohort.

Background: Phenols and parabens are two classes of high production volume chemicals that are used widely in consumer and personal care products and have been associated with reproductive harm and pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. However, studies examining their influence on maternal blood pressure and gestational hypertension are limited.
Objectives: We investigated associations between individual phenols, parabens, and their mixture on maternal blood pressure measurements, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and hypertension during pregnancy (defined as stage 1 or 2 hypertension), among Puerto Rico PROTECT study participants.

Background: Bisphenol-A (BPA) and parabens are common endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) that are used extensively in consumer products worldwide and are widely found in the environment.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to comprehensively explore the correlations between urinary BPA/parabens levels and liver injury/function markers.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2011 to 2016.

Background: Our study aimed to investigate the impact of urinary concentrations of personal care products (PCPs)-related phenols (PNs) and parabens (PBs), including Triclosan (TCS), Bisphenol A (BPA), Benzophenone-3 (BP-3), Butylparaben (BPB), Ethylparaben (EPB), Methylparaben (MPB), and Propylparaben (PPB), on urinary incontinence (UI) occurrence.
Method: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning the years 2007 to 2016. Regression analysis was employed to investigate the relationship between exposure to PCPs-related substances, various levels of exposure, and UI within both the general population and the female demographic.

Because of the excessive use of fossil fuels, CO emissions into the environment are increasing. An efficient method of converting CO to useful carbonaceous products in the presence of light is one way to address the issues associated with energy and environmental remediation. InS/WS heterostructure has been fabricated using the efficient hydrothermal method.

Previous literature on prenatal phenol exposure and thyroid hormone (TH) alteration is conflicting, and the possible mechanisms of action involved remain unclear. We aimed to examine the association between prenatal phenol exposure and levels of maternal and neonatal THs, as well as the possible role of iodothyronine deiodinase (DIO) gene polymorphisms in this relation. We studied 387 Spanish mother-neonate pairs with measurements of maternal phenols, total triiodothyronine (TT3) and free thyroxine (FT4), maternal and neonatal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and maternal genotypes for single nucleotide polymorphisms in the DIO1(rs2235544) and DIO2(rs12885300) genes.
