Biomarkers are currently best used as mechanistic “signposts” rather than as “traffic lights” in
the environmental risk assessment of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). In field …

The authors derive predicted‐no‐effect concentrations (PNECs) for the steroid estrogens
(estrone [E1], 17β‐estradiol [E2], estriol [E3], and 17α‐ethinylestradiol [EE2]) appropriate for …

The use of transgenics in fish is a relatively recent development for advancing
understanding of genetic mechanisms and developmental processes, improving …

Most effluents from wastewater treatment works (WwTWs) contain estrogenic chemicals that
include steroidal estrogens and xenoestrogens. We investigated the nature of mixtures of …

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based metabolomics in combination with multivariate
data analysis may become valuable tools to study environmental effects of pharmaceuticals …

Abstract Patancheru, near Hyderabad, India, is a major production site for the global bulk
drug market. Approximately 90 manufacturers send their wastewater to a common treatment …

Environmental oestrogens are widespread in the aquatic environment and cause alterations
in sexual development and function in vertebrates. The molecular pathways underpinning …

Effluents from wastewater treatment works (WwTWs) contain estrogenic substances that
induce feminizing effects in fish, including vitellogenin (VTG) synthesis and gonadal …

The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of photocatalysis by TiO 2 on the removal
of 17-β-estradiol (E2)(at environmentally relevant concentrations) and the toxicity caused by …

For endocrine disrupting chemicals in the environment, concerns arise primarily from the
effects that may be induced in wildlife. A well studied example is estrogenic chemicals in the …
