Assessment of chemical extracts of urban air for endocrine disruption using a serie of in vitro bioassays: a case study in Montreal, Canada

Author(s): Gillet AP; Dong H; Liu L; Akiki C; Zhang X; Tian L; Wania F; Wade MG; Apparicio P; Bayen S; Delbes G;

Recent data indicate that urban air harbors a complex mixture of industrial chemicals, pesticides, and combustion by-products, many of which may act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). By interfering with the endocrine system, EDCs can affect human health. Hence, there is an urgent need to ...

Mapping the distribution of contaminants identified by non-targeted screening of passively sampled urban air

Author(s): Liu L; Gillet AP; Akiki C; Tian L; Ma Y; Zhang X; Bowman DT; Wania F; Delbès G; Apparicio P; Bayen S;

Air pollution is closely associated with increased lung cancer incidence and mortality. Because many semi-volatile industrial chemicals, pesticides and combustion by-products are endocrine-disrupting or genotoxic, their mixtures in outdoor urban air, even at trace levels, could have cumulative ef ...
