Behavioural and cyto-genotoxic effects in adult rats and induced congenital anomalies to their embryos, exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of phthalates

Abstract excerpt

Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals widely used in everyday plastics and are increasingly recognised as dangerous to humans and ecosystems. In Lithuania, ineffective wastewater treatment has led to rising contamination with phthalates, particularly di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). As most prior studies used high short-term doses, this study focused on the effects of daily...
