hexabromocyclododecanes human exposure occurrence Risk Assessment Toxicology Abstract: The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2011 risk assessment on hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDD s) in food. HBCDD s, ...
Simultaneous determination of parabens, bisphenols and alkylphenols in human placenta by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
BPB, BPF, and BPS) and two alkylphenols (nonyl phenol (NP) and tert-octylphenol (OP) in human placenta samples. After a short sample preparation time the extracts are analysed by UHPLC- MS / MS using ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
insights in the possible health risks associated with MOAH exposure. Based on these scenarios, adverse human health effects could not be excluded highlighting the need for more data to perform a more ...
Simultaneous determination of parabens, bisphenols and alkylphenols in human placenta by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry
and that levels of several compounds with known /suspected endocrine disrupting properties could be detected or quantified in human placenta samples. The results therefore suggest that fetal exposure to ...
