AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how bisphenol compounds (BPA and BPS) accumulate in zebrafish and how this accumulation is affected by microplastics (MPs).
- Researchers developed a precise method to measure these compounds and observed that BPA accumulates more than BPS in fish tissues.
- The presence of MPs was found to increase the accumulation of bisphenol compounds, indicating a greater environmental risk and the necessity for more research on their combined effects on health.
Article Abstract
Knowledge regarding the combined toxicity mechanism of bisphenol compounds and microplastics (MPs) on organisms remains limited. In this study, we first developed an accurate and sensitive method to simultaneously quantify two bisphenol compounds and evaluate their accumulation and tissue distribution after co-exposure with MPs in zebrafish. Then, we determined the bioaccumulation potential of bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS) in adult zebrafish in the absence and presence of MPs. Bisphenol compounds were found to accumulate in different tissues of zebrafish, with BPS showing lower accumulation levels compared to BPA. Importantly, we discovered that the presence of MPs could exacerbate the accumulation of bisphenol compounds in biological tissues. These findings highlight the enhanced bioavailability and risk posed by the co-exposure of bisphenol compounds and MPs, underscoring the need for further investigation into their combined environmental and biological health impacts.

Bisphenol A (BPA), an environmental endocrine disrupting chemical, is one of the most widely used chemicals in the world and is widely distributed in the external environment, specifically in food, water, dust, and soil. BPA exposure is associated with abnormal cognitive behaviors. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of Bisphenol A (BPA) and Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) on the dynamics of biological membranes, focusing on how these persistent organic pollutants impact myeloid cell lines.
- It was found that TBBPA specifically disrupts the plasma membrane's biophysical homeostasis, increasing mobility and decreasing order, while BPA showed no significant effects.
- The findings highlight TBBPA's potential to impair immune function, emphasizing the environmental toxicity concerns associated with persistent organic pollutants.
