Flame retardants (FRs) are chemical substances used to inhibit the spread of fire in
numerous industrial applications, and their abundance in modern manufactured products in …

Polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs) have been recognised as
environmental pollutants for decades but their occurrence in food has only recently been …

Polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PBDD/Fs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-
dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs) share similar toxicities and thermal origins, eg, municipal solid …

Background: Potential associations between background environmental chemical
exposures and autoimmunity are understudied. Objectives: Our exploratory study …

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) assesses potential health risks of dioxin-like
compounds using Toxic Equivalency Factors (TEFs). This study systematically updated the …

Human exposure to polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) through the dietary
pathway is widely recognised and regulations in some regions of the world help to limit food …

Non-polybrominated diphenyl ether (non-PBDE) halogenated fire retardants (HFRs) such as
new or novel brominated fire retardants (NBFRs) and dechlorane plus (DP) have been …

We have developed a virtual screening procedure to identify potential ligands to the aryl
hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) among a set of industrial chemicals. AhR is a key target for …

Differences in PCDD/Fs concentrations were registered among adult bank voles (Myodes
glareolus) inhabiting forest in the vicinity of the Landfill Salariyevo (Moscow, Russia) and …

Early-life exposure to widespread environmental toxicants including organic pollutants
(OPs), heavy metals, and air pollutants is detrimental to human health. The immunotoxicity of …
