| polycyclic musk compounds in higher trophic level aquatic organisms and humans from the united states. | polycyclic musks, 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta[g]-2-benzopyran (hhcb) and 7-acetyl-1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (ahtn), are used as fragrance ingredients in numerous consumer products such as cleaning agents and personal care products. studies have reported the widespread occurrence of these musks in surface waters and fish from western european countries. nevertheless, little is known about their accumulation in humans and wildlife in the united ... | 2005 | 16219504 |
| novel finding of widespread occurrence and accumulation of bisphenol a diglycidyl ethers (badges) and novolac glycidyl ethers (noges) in marine mammals from the united states coastal waters. | bisphenol a diglycidyl ether (badge)- and bisphenol f diglycidyl ether (bfdge)-based epoxy resins have a broad range of applications, including serving as inner coatings of food and beverage cans and as protective coatings in marine construction. prior to this study, no studies had examined the occurrence and bioaccumulation of badges or bfdges in aquatic organisms. in this study, badge, bfdge, and nine of their derivatives were determined in 121 tissue (liver, kidney, blubber, and brain) sample ... | 2016 | 26800265 |
| elevated accumulation of parabens and their metabolites in marine mammals from the united states coastal waters. | the widespread exposure of humans to parabens present in personal care products is well-known. nevertheless, little is known about the accumulation of parabens in marine organisms. in this study, six parabens and four common metabolites of parabens were measured in 121 tissue samples from eight species of marine mammals collected along the coastal waters of florida, california, washington, and alaska. methyl paraben (mep) was the predominant compound found in the majority of the marine mammal ti ... | 2015 | 26379094 |
