Several chemical compounds are being studied for their capacities to cause imbalances in several biological systems. Some of those are able to affect the endocrine system and are known as endocrine disruptors. Many negative ...

Evaluation of carcinogenic substances from the environment is a challenge for scientists. Recently, a novel approach based on 10 key characteristics of human carcinogens classified by the International Agency for Research ...

This study focuses on the spectrofluorimetric behavior of bisphenol A (BPA), 4-octylphenol (OP) and 4-nonylphenol (NP) in the presence of native and derivative cyclodextrins (CDs). The weak fluorescence emission bands of ...

The aim of this study was to develop a novel analytical method for the determination of bisphenol A, nonylphenol, octylphenol, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate and diethylhexyl phthalate, compounds known for their ...
