Prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals and risk of being born small for gestational age: Pooled analysis of seven European birth cohorts

2018

Background and aims: There is evidence that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have developmental effects at environmental concentrations. We investigated whether some EDCs are associated with the adverse birth outcome Small for Gestational Age (SGA). Methods: We used PCB 153, p,p'-DDE, HCB, PFOS and PFOA measured in maternal, cord blood or breast milk samples of 5446 mother-child pairs (subset of 693 for the perfluorinated compounds) from seven European birth cohorts (1997–2012). SGA infants were those with birth weight below the 10th percentile for the norms defined by gestational age, country and infant's sex. We modelled the association between measured or estimated cord serum EDC co…

Occupational exposure to endocrine disruptors and lymphoma risk in a multi-centric European study

2015

Background: Incidence rates of lymphoma are usually higher in men than in women, and oestrogens may protect against lymphoma. Methods: We evaluated occupational exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) among 2457 controls and 2178 incident lymphoma cases and subtypes from the European Epilymph study. Results: Over 30 years of exposure to EDCs compared to no exposure was associated with a 24% increased risk of mature B-cell neoplasms (P-trend=0.02). Associations were observed among men, but not women. Conclusions: Prolonged occupational exposure to endocrine disruptors seems to be moderately associated with some lymphoma subtypes. © 2015 Cancer Research UK. All rights reserved.

Assessment of environmental pollution caused by EDCs from everyday objects

2016

Związki modulujące pracę hormonów estrogenowych są grupą związków chemicznych, które przez ostatnich kilka dekad zwróciły uwagę zarówno społeczeństwa, jak i naukowców. Dowiedziono, że substancje te ingerują w prawidłową pracę układu hormonalnego i zaburzają rozwój, reprodukcję, homeostazę i metabolizm żywych organizmów. Zagrażają nie tylko ludziom, ale także wszystkim żywym organizmom. Są obecne w: plastikach, między innymi plastikowych opakowaniach na żywność, detergentach, pestycydach, tworzywach ognioodpornych, metalach ciężkich, a także farmaceutykach i produktach codziennej higieny, takich jak kosmetyki - kremy czy mydła, filtry UV, doustne środki antykoncepcyjne i przeciwbólowe, a tak…
