Abstract

Many synthetic chemicals are widely used in our daily products and they are in constant contacts with humans through many different routes of exposure. In addition to the toxic environmental pollutants known with diminishing usage, plasticizers, a new class of emerging chemicals, are becoming of human health concerns increasingly. Microbial degradation of plasticizers is generally known, but the toxicity and other effects on human and animals are less well understood, especially in terms of reproductive development and endocrine-disrupting activity. Their major impact to Earth is the large quantities of them used on a daily basis and close contacts with biota of the biosphere. Knowledge of their impact shall be focused more specifically on developmental and endocrine system of animals than mortality in traditional toxicology as an end-point to better assess the threats to the biosphere. New directions on this research topic are presented to advance new knowledge in the future research and development.
干扰内分泌的增塑剂将伴随我们很长一段时间
许多合成化学物质被广泛用于我们的日常产品中,它们通过许多不同的接触途径与人类不断接触。除了已知使用量越来越少的有毒环境污染物外,增塑剂作为一类新兴的化学品,正越来越引起人类健康的关注。增塑剂的微生物降解是众所周知的,但其对人类和动物的毒性和其他影响尚不清楚,尤其是在生殖发育和内分泌干扰活性方面。它们对地球的主要影响是每天大量使用它们,并与生物圈的生物群密切接触。对其影响的了解应更具体地集中在动物的发育和内分泌系统上,而不是传统毒理学中的死亡率,以此作为更好地评估生物圈威胁的终点。提出了该研究主题的新方向,以在未来的研究和开发中推进新知识。
