A novel approach is presented to determine four bisphenols in water and urine samples, employing magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction combined with liquid chromatography and diode array detection. A modified zeolite-based magnetic composite was used as an efficient sorbent, combining the advantages of magnetic materials with the remarkable properties of zeolites. A multivariate optimization design was employed to optimize some experimental factors affecting magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction. The method was evaluated under optimized conditions (i.e., amount of sorbent, 50 mg; sample pH, unadjusted; NaCl concentration, 1.25%; extraction and elution time, 2 min; eluent solvent, ethanol; eluent solvent volume, 400 µL), obtaining good linearity with correlation coefficients ranging between 0.995 and 0.999 (N = 5) (from 2 to 250 µg/L for bisphenol A, bisphenol AP, and bisphenol P and from 5 to 250 µg/L for bisphenol AF). Method repeatability was assessed obtaining coefficients of variation between 3 and 11% (n = 6). Finally, the method was applied to spiked real samples, obtaining for water samples relative recoveries between 83 and 105%, and for urine samples between 81 and 108% for bisphenol A, bisphenol AP, and bisphenol AF, and between 47 and 59% for bisphenol P.

Background: Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as bisphenol A (BPA), disrupts reproduction across generations. Germ cell epigenetic alterations are proposed to bridge transgenerational reproductive defects resulting from EDCs. Previously, we have shown that prenatal exposure to environmentally relevant doses of BPA or its substitute, BPS, caused transgenerationally maintained reproductive impairments associated with neonatal spermatogonial epigenetic changes in male mice.

The safety of bisphenol A (BPA) due to its adverse effects on the immune system has led to an increasing concern and a significant regulatory shift. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) proposed a reduction in the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of BPA in food in their 2023 scientific opinion, highlighting the need for stricter regulations compared to their previous assessment in 2015. This regulatory action has spurred the production of BPA alternatives, raising concerns about their safety due to insufficient toxicological data.

These protocols describe a detailed method to determine the DNA damage and F-actin and microtubule defects of metaphase II oocytes caused by hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC). The protocol provides systematic steps to determine protein expression encoded by pluripotency proteins such as Oct4, Nanog, and Cdx2 during early embryonic development. Occupational or environmental exposure to EDCs has significantly increased infertility in both men and women.

An electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of bisphenol A based on triple signal amplification assisted by gold nanoparticles, hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme, and exonuclease I.

A triple signal amplified electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of bisphenol A (BPA) was developed for the first time based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme, and exonuclease I (Exo I) assisted amplification strategies. The BPA aptamer (Apt) hybridized with the capture probe (CP) was fixed on the gold electrode (GE) to form the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) structure. When BPA was present, the Apt was detached from the GE surface by specific recognition between the BPA and Apt, forming BPA-Apt complexes in solution.

Phthalate acid esters (PAEs) and bisphenol A (BPA) are recognized as common endocrine disruptors associated with various adverse effects on human health. However, limitations in existing systematic studies, particularly in air detection, have raised concerns about potential health risks from inhalation exposure. In this study, PM samples were collected in Dongying, a petrochemical city, from October 27 to December 6, 2021.
