Abstract
Human activity and industrial production have led to phenol becoming a significant risk factor. The proper treatment of phenol in wastewater is essential. In this study, the utilization of weak magnetic field (WMF) and zero-valent iron (ZVI) was proposed to activate H2O2 to degrade phenol contaminant. The results show that the weak magnetic field has greatly enhanced the reaction rate of ZVI/H2O2 removal of phenol. The removal rates of phenol by ZVI/H2O2/WMF generally decreased with increasing initial pH and phenol concentrations, and firstly increase and then decrease with increasing Fe0 or H2O2 dosage. When the initial pH is 5.0, ZVI concentration of 0.2 g/L, H2O2 concentration of 6 mM, and phenol concentration of 100 mg/L were used, complete removal of phenol can be achieved within 180 min at 25 °C. The degradation process was consistent with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model when the experimental data was fitted. The ZVI/H2O2/WMF process exhibited a 1.05-2.66-fold enhancement in the removal rate of phenol under various conditions, surpassing its counterpart lacking WMF. It was noticed that the presence of 1-5 mM of Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, SO42- ions can significantly enhance the kinetics of phenol removal by ZVI/H2O2 system with or without WMF to 2.22-10.40-fold, but NO3- , CO32-, PO43- inhibited the reaction significantly in the following order: PO43-> CO32- >NO3-. Moreover, pre-magnetization for 3 min could enhance the ZVI/H2O2 process which was valuable in treatment of real wastewater. The hydroxyl radical has been identified as the primary radical species responsible for phenol degradation. The presence of WMF accelerates the corrosion rate of ZVI, thereby promoting the release of Fe2+ ions, which in turn induces an increased production of hydroxyl radicals and facilitates phenol degradation. The compounds hydroquinone, benzoquinone, catechol, maleic acid, and CO2 were identified using GC-MS, and degradation pathways were proposed. Employing WMF in combination with various ions like Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, SO42- is a novel method, which can enhance oxidation capacity of ZVI/H2O2 and may lead to economic benefit.

Abstract
As reported, the persistent toxic and harmful pollutant bisphenol A (BPA) from industrial emissions has been consistently found in aquatic environments inhabited by humans. Periodate (PI)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been employed to degrade BPA, although activating PI proves more challenging compared to other oxidants. A novel nano iron metal catalyst, sulfided nanoscale iron-nickel bimetallic nanoparticle supported on biocarbon (S-(nFe0-Ni)/BC) was synthesized and utilized to activate PI for the removal of BPA. The morphology, structure, and composition of S-(nFe0-Ni)/BC were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), and fourier-transform infrared spectrum (FTIR). The catalyst demonstrates an excellent ability to activate PI, achieving a BPA removal efficacy of 86.4%, accompanied by a 33% reduction in total organic carbon (TOC) in the {S-(nFe0-Ni)/BC}/PI system. BPA degradation exhibited a significant change at the 5-min mark. In the first stage (0-5 min), nonlinear dynamic fitting research, combined with scavenging experiments, unveiled the competitive degradation of pollutants primarily driven by iodate radical ( IO 3 · ), singlet oxygen1 O 2 , and hydroxyl radical ( · OH ). The competitive dynamics aligned with the ExpAssoc model. The contribution rates of different active species during the second stage (5-120 min) were calculated. The contributions of main species to BPA removal follow the order of IO 3 · >1 O 2 > · OH throughout the entire process. The influence of various parameters, such as the dosage of S-(nFe0-Ni)/BC, initial PI concentration, BPA concentration, pH, temperature, and the presence of coexisting anions, was also examined. Finally, a plausible reaction mechanism in the system is proposed, suggesting that the {S-(nFe0-Ni)/BC}/PI system involves a heterogeneous synergistic reaction occurring primarily on the surface of S-(nFe0-Ni)/BC. Therefore, this study proposes a promising approach for PI-based AOPs to degrade organic pollutants, aiming to mitigate the irreversible harm caused by such pollutants to organisms and the environment.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) are compounds that alter functions of the endocrine system due to their ability to mimic or antagonize endogenous hormones, or that alter their synthesis and metabolism, causing adverse health effects. Human biomonitoring (HBM) is a reliable method to assess human exposure to chemicals through measurement in human body fluids and tissues. It identifies new sources of exposure and determines their distribution, thereby enabling detection of the most exposed populations. Blood and urine are commonly used for HBM of EDC, but their interest is limited for compounds presenting short half-lives. Hair appears as an interesting alternative insofar as it provides a large exposure window. For the present study, we evaluated the relevance of hair in determining EDC exposure. With this in mind, we undertook a literature review focusing on the bioanalytical aspects and performances of methods developed to determine EDC in hair. The literature review was performed through methodical bibliographical research. Relevant articles were identified using two scientific databases: PubMed and Web of Science, with search equations built from a combination of keywords, MeSH terms and Boolean operators. The search strategy identified 2949 articles. After duplicates were removed, and following title, abstract, and full-text screenings, only 31 were included for qualitative synthesis. Hair collection was mainly performed in the back of the head and preparation involved two processes: cutting into small pieces or grounding to powder. The off-line LC-MS/MS method remains the main technique used to assess EDC through hair. Differences regarding the validation of analytical methods and interpretation of HBM results were highlighted, suggesting a need for international harmonisation to obtain reliable and comparable results. External contamination of hair was identified as a main limitation in the interpretation of results, highlighting the need to better understand EDC transfers through hair and to develop relevant hair decontamination processes.

Abstract
High global plastic production volumes have led to the widespread presence of bisphenol compounds in human living and working environments. The most common bisphenol, bisphenol A (BPA), despite being endocrine disruptive and estrogenic, is still not fully banned worldwide, leading to continued human exposure via particles in air, dust, and surfaces in both outdoor and indoor environments. While its abundance is well documented, few studies have addressed the chemical transformations of BPA, the properties of its reactive products, and their toxicity. Here, the first gas-surface multiphase ozonolysis experiment of BPA thin films, at a constant ozone mixing ratio of 100 ppb, was performed in a flow tube for periods up to 24 h. Three transformation products involving the addition of 1, 2, and 3 oxygen atoms to the molecule were identified by LC-ESI-HRMS analyses. Exposure of indoor air to thin BPA surface films and BPA-containing thermal paper over periods of days validated the flow tube experiments, demonstrating the rapid nature of this multiphase ozonolysis reaction at atmospherically relevant ozone levels. Multiple transformation pathways are proposed that are likely applicable to not only BPA but also emerging commercial bisphenol products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) is an exogenous endocrine disruptor mimicking hormones closely associated with health complications, such as cancer progression. BPA is also related to an increase in the prevalence of obesity-related diseases due to its obesogenic action. Bombesin-like receptor 3 (BRS3) is an important factor that should be considered in the adipogenic gene network, as depletion of this gene alters adiposity. METHODS Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression of BRS3 in human liver THLE-2 cells post-BPA treatment by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The effects of BPA on the levels of pro-inflammatory proteins, interleukin 6 (IL6) and CC motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), in conditioned media of BPA-treated THLE-2 cells and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis in replicating BPA-treated THLE-2 cells during the cell cycle were also examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry, respectively. RESULTS The study found that the mRNA expression of BRS3 was increased in THLE-2 cells treated with BPA. The study also showed that the expression levels of IL6 and CCL2 reached an optimum level in the conditioned media of BPA-treated THLE-2 cells after 48 h of treatment. Subsequently, the DNA synthesis analysis showed that bromodeoxyuridine/propidium iodide (BrdU/PI) stained positive cells were decreased in BPA-treated THLE-2 cells at 72 h of treatment. CONCLUSION The study demonstrates that BRS3 expression induced by BPA is likely associated with reduced cell proliferation by inhibiting DNA synthesis and inducing cellular inflammation in liver cells.

Abstract
Ecological theories suggest that environmental factors significantly influence obesity risk and related syndemic morbidities, including metabolically abnormal obesity associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (MASLD). These factors encompass anthropogenic influences and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), synergistically interacting to induce metabolic discrepancies, notably in early life, and disrupt metabolic processes in adulthood. This review focuses on endocrine disruptors affecting a child's MASLD risk, independent of their role as obesogens and thus regardless of their impact on adipogenesis. The liver plays a pivotal role in metabolic and detoxification processes, where various lipophilic endocrine-disrupting molecules accumulate in fatty liver parenchyma, exacerbating inflammation and functioning as new anthropogenics that perpetuate chronic low-grade inflammation, especially insulin resistance, crucial in the pathogenesis of MASLD.

Abstract
Excess body weight constitutes one of the major health challenges for societies and healthcare systems worldwide. Besides the type of diet, calorie intake and the lack of physical exercise, recent data have highlighted a possible association between endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as bisphenol A, phthalates and their analogs, and obesity. EDCs represent a heterogeneous group of chemicals that may influence the hormonal regulation of body mass and adipose tissue morphology. Based on the available data from mechanistic, animal and epidemiological studies including meta-analyses, the weight of evidence points towards the contribution of EDCs to the development of obesity, associated disorders and obesity-related adipose tissue dysfunction by (1) impacting adipogenesis; (2) modulating epigenetic pathways during development, enhancing susceptibility to obesity; (3) influencing neuroendocrine signals responsible for appetite and satiety; (4) promoting a proinflammatory milieu in adipose tissue and inducing a state of chronic subclinical inflammation; (5) dysregulating gut microbiome and immune homeostasis; and (6) inducing dysfunction in thermogenic adipose tissue. Critical periods of exposure to obesogenic EDCs are the prenatal, neonatal, pubertal and reproductive periods. Interestingly, EDCs even at low doses may promote epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of adult obesity in subsequent generations. The aim of this review is to summarize the available evidence on the role of obesogenic EDCs, specifically BPA and phthalate plasticizers, in the development of obesity, taking into account in vitro, animal and epidemiologic studies; discuss mechanisms linking EDCs to obesity; analyze the effects of EDCs on obesity in critical chronic periods of exposure; and present interesting perspectives, challenges and preventive measures in this research area.

Abstract
Prenatal exposure to endocrine-disrupting bisphenol A (BPA) shows a long-lasting programming effect on an organ's metabolic function and predisposes it to the risk of adult metabolic diseases. Although a reduced contaminant risk due to "BPA-free" exposure is proposed, limited data on a comparative assessment of gestational exposure to BPS and BPA and their effects on metaflammation in predisposing liver metabolic disease is reported. Pregnant Wistar rats were exposed to BPS and BPA (0.0, 0.4, 4.0 μg/kg bw) via gavage from gestational day 4 to 21, and effects were assessed in the 90 d male offspring. Prenatal BPS-exposed offspring showed a more obesogenic effect than BPA, including changes in body fat distribution, feed efficiency, and leptin signalling. The BPS exposure induced the adipocyte hypertrophy of visceral adipose to a greater extent than BPA. The adipose hypertrophy was augmented by tissue inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and apoptosis due to increased expression of pro-inflammatory (IL6, IL1β, CRP, COX2) cytokines, ER stress modulator (CHOP), and apoptotic effector (Caspase 3). The enlarged, stressed, inflamed adipocytes triggered de novo lipogenesis in the bisphenol-exposed offspring liver due to increased expression of cholesterol and lipid biogenesis mediators (srebf1, fasn, acaca, PPARα) concomitant with elevated triacylglycerol (TG) and cholesterol (TC), resulted in impaired hepatic clearance of lipids. The lipogenic effects were also promoted by increased expression of HSD11β1. BPS exposure increased absolute liver weight, discoloration, altered liver lobes more than in BPA. Liver histology showed numerous lipid droplets, and hepatocyte ballooning, upregulated ADRP expression, an increased expression of pro-inflammatory mediators (IL6, CRP, IL1β, TNFα, COX2), enhanced lipid peroxidation in the BPS-exposed offspring's liver suggest altered metaflammation leads to microvesicular steatosis. Overall, gestational BPS exposure demonstrated a higher disruption in metabolic changes than BPA, involving excess adiposity, liver fat, inflammation, and predisposition to steatosis in the adult male offspring.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), a toxic endocrine disruptor, is widely distributed in the environment, and the effects of BPA exposure on human health outcomes are a critical issue. The objective of this study was to perform an umbrella review of published meta-analyses investigating the associations between BPA exposure and human-related health outcomes. The relevant reports were searched from three electronic databases from inception to July 12, 2023 including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Embase. The reports that were systematic reviews with meta-analyses investigating the associations between BPA exposure and human health outcomes were included in our review. A total of 14 reports were included in our review. Several human health outcomes related to exposure BPA were investigated including maternal prenatal health, infant health, allergic diseases, kidney disease, metabolic syndromes, polycystic ovary syndrome, earlier puberty, inflammation and immune responses, and thyroid function in neonates. Among these health outcomes, BPA exposure was associated with multiple human health outcomes including preterm birth, allergic diseases, kidney disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and inflammation and immune responses (C-reactive protein and interleukin-6). These results showed that BPA exposure has seriously affected human health. To protect human health, World Health Organization should develop meaningful regulations on BPA to decrease the environmental contamination.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most common environmental endocrine chemicals, known for its estrogenic effects that can interfere with male spermatogenesis. Lipids play crucial roles in sperm production, capacitation, and motility as important components of the sperm plasma membrane. However, limited research has explored whether BPA affects lipid metabolism in the testes of male fish and subsequently impacts spermatogenesis. In this study, we employed Gobiocypris rarus rare minnow as a research model and exposed them to environmentally relevant concentrations of BPA (15 μg/L) for 5 weeks. We assessed sperm morphology and function and analyzed changes in testicular lipid composition and transcriptomics. The results demonstrated a significant increase in the sperm head membrane damage rate, along with reduced sperm motility and fertilization ability due to BPA exposure. Lipidomics analysis revealed that BPA increased the content of 11 lipids while decreasing the content of 6 lipids in the testes, particularly within glycerophospholipids, glycerolipids, and sphingolipid subclasses. Transcriptomics results indicated significant up-regulation in pathways such as cholesterol metabolism, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling, and fat digestion and absorption, with significant alterations in key genes related to lipid metabolism, including apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein C-I, and translocator protein. These findings suggest that BPA exposure can induce testicular lipid metabolism disruption in rare minnows, potentially resulting in abnormalities in rare minnow spermatogenesis.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical, widely used to produce polycarbonate plastic. Carnosic acid (CA) is a rosemary diterpene with an anti-obesity effect. In this study, we investigated the anti-adipogenic effect of CA in BPA-treated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and C57BL/6 J mice. In vitro experiments showed that CA inhibited lipid accumulation by BPA in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. CA displayed anti-adipogenic effects through the downregulation of differentiation and adipogenesis-related proteins, along with the upregulation of lipolytic protein and SIRT1/FoxO1 pathway. In vivo experiments, mice treated with BPA exhibited an increase in body weight gain and epididymal adipose tissue mass when compared to the control group. CA treatment improved the epididymal adipose tissue mass induced by BPA. CA and rosemary extract (RE) treatment ameliorated dyslipidemia in BPA-treated mice. We further showed that CA and RE exerted anti-adipogenesis effects in liver tissues of BPA-treated mice via increasing SIRT1, FoxO1, and ATGL proteins and decreasing FAS and aP2 proteins. Moreover, SIRT1 inhibitor sirtinol blocked CA to increase SIRT1, FoxO1, FAS, and aP2 proteins, decrease Ac-FoxO1 protein, and reduce lipid accumulation in BPA-treated cells. These findings indicated that CA and RE could reverse BPA-induced lipid accumulation by regulating adipocyte differentiation, adipogenesis, and lipolysis through SIRT1/FoxO1 pathway.

Abstract
Introduction A growing number of studies link the increase in overweight/obesity worldwide to exposure to certain environmental chemical pollutants that display obesogenic activity (obesogens). Since exposure to obesogens during the first stages of life has been shown to have a more intense and pronounced effect at lower doses, it is imperative to study their possible effects in childhood. The objective here was to study the association of Bisphenol A (BPA) and 11 BPA analogs in children, using three biological matrices (nails, saliva and urine), and overweight and obesity (n = 160). Methods In this case-control study, 59 overweight/obese children and 101 controls were included. The measuring of Bisphenols in the matrices was carried out by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Logistic regression was used to study the association between overweight/obesity and Bisphenol exposure. Results The results suggested that BPF in nails is associated with overweight/ obesity in children (OR:4.87; p = 0.020). In saliva, however, the highest detected concentrations of BPAF presented an inverse association (OR: 0.06; p = 0.010) with overweight/obesity. No associations of statistical significance were detected between exposure to BPA or its other analogs and overweight/obesity in any of the biological matrices.

Abstract
Obesity is known as a transgenerational vicious cycle and has become a global burden due to its unavoidable complications. Modern approaches to obesity management often involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs and surgeries that have been associated with negative side effects. In contrast, natural antioxidants, such as flavonoids, have emerged as a promising alternative due to their potential health benefits and minimal side effects. Thus, this narrative review explores the potential protective role of flavonoids as a natural antioxidant in managing obesity. To identify recent in vivo studies on the efficiency of flavonoids in managing obesity, a comprehensive search was conducted on Wiley Online Library, Scopus, Nature, and ScienceDirect. The search was limited to the past 10 years; from the search, we identified 31 articles to be further reviewed. Based on the reviewed articles, we concluded that flavonoids offer novel therapeutic strategies for preventing obesity and its associated co-morbidities. This is because the appropriate dosage of flavonoid compounds is able to reduce adipose tissue mass, the formation of intracellular free radicals, enhance endogenous antioxidant defences, modulate the redox balance, and reduce inflammatory signalling pathways. Thus, this review provides an insight into the domain of a natural product therapeutic approach for managing obesity and recapitulates the transgenerational inheritance of obesity, the current available treatments to manage obesity and its side effects, flavonoids and their sources, the molecular mechanism involved, the modulation of gut microbiota in obesity, redox balance, and the bioavailability of flavonoids. In toto, although flavonoids show promising positive outcome in managing obesity, a more comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the advantageous impacts of flavonoids-achieved through translation to clinical trials-would provide a novel approach to inculcating flavonoids in managing obesity in the future as this review is limited to animal studies.

Abstract
The levels of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS) were monitored in twenty-three samples of canned legumes from popular brands marketed in Italy. BPB, BPS and BPF were not detected in any samples, while BPA was found in 91 % of the samples in the concentration range 1.51-21.22 ng/mL. The risk associated with the human exposure to BPA was categorized using the Rapid Assessment of Contaminant Exposure (RACE) tool promoted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The results showed that there is no risk for any of the population groups when the current TDI value for BPA of 4 μg/kg bw/day was used as toxicological reference point. In contrast, using the new TDI value for BPA of 0.04 ng/kg bw/day, proposed by EFSA in December 2021, the existing risk was found to be real for all population groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely used in personal care and consumer products. However, no study has reported a specific relationship between BPA concentrations and metabolic hazardous elements for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Consequently, in this study, we used six years of population-based NHANES data (2011-2016) to analyse the association between BPA concentrations and metabolic risk factors for CVDs. METHODS A total of 1467 participants were enrolled in our project. The participants in the study were divided into quartiles based on BPA levels (Q1: ≤0.6 ng/ml, Q2: 0.7-1.2 ng/ml, Q3: 1.3-2.3 ng/ml, Q4: ≥2.4 ng/ml). This study used multiple linear and multivariate logistic regression models to determine the association among BPA concentrations and CVD metabolic risk factors. RESULTS When the concentration of BPA was in Q3, fasting glucose concentrations were decreased by 3.87 mg/dl, and 2-h glucose concentrations were decreased by 16.24 mg/dl. When the concentration of BPA was in Q4, fasting glucose concentrations were decreased by 12.15 mg/dl, and diastolic blood pressure was increased by 2.08 mmHg. At the same time, compared to participants in the first quartile (Q1), those from the fourth quartile (Q4) of BPA concentrations had 21% higher odds of hypertension, 30% higher odds of obesity, 30.2% higher odds of central obesity, 4.5% higher odds of elevated HbA1c, 17% higher odds of elevated non-HDL cholesterol, and 60.8% higher odds of diabetes (compared to the lowest quartile, Q1). CONCLUSIONS We found that higher concentrations of BPA were linked with a higher metabolic risk for CVDs. Further regulation of BPA may need to be considered for the prevention of CVDs in adults.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to test the phytotoxicity and mode of action of bisphenol A (BPA) on Allium cepa using a multibiomarker approach. A. cepa roots were exposed to BPA in concentration range 0-50 mg L-1 for 3 days. BPA even in the lowest applied concentration (1 mg L-1) reduced root length, root fresh weight, and mitotic index. Additionally, the lowest BPA concentration (1 mg L-1) decreased the level of gibberellic acid (GA3) in root cells. BPA at concentration 5 mg L-1 increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that was followed by increase in oxidative damage to cells' lipids and proteins and activity of enzyme superoxide dismutase. BPA in higher concentrations (25 and 50 mg L-1) induced genome damage detected as an increase in micronucleus (MNs) and nuclear buds (NBUDs). BPA at >25 mg L-1 induced synthesis of phytochemicals. Results of this study using multibiomarker approach indicate that BPA is phytotoxic to A. cepa roots and has shown genotoxic potential to plants, thus its presence in the environment should be monitored.

Abstract
Obesogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) belong to the group of environmental contaminants, which can adversely affect human health. A growing body of evidence supports that chronic exposure to EDCs can contribute to a rapid increase in obesity among adults and children, especially in wealthy industrialized countries with a high production of widely used industrial chemicals such as plasticizers (bisphenols and phthalates), parabens, flame retardants, and pesticides. The main source of human exposure to obesogenic EDCs is through diet, particularly with the consumption of contaminated food such as meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, milk, and dairy products. EDCs can promote obesity by stimulating adipo- and lipogenesis of target cells such as adipocytes and hepatocytes, disrupting glucose metabolism and insulin secretion, and impacting hormonal appetite/satiety regulation. In vitro models still play an essential role in investigating potential environmental obesogens. The review aimed to provide information on currently available two-dimensional (2D) in vitro animal and human cell models applied for studying the mechanisms of obesogenic action of various industrial chemicals such as food contaminants. The advantages and limitations of in vitro models representing the crucial endocrine tissue (adipose tissue) and organs (liver and pancreas) involved in the etiology of obesity and metabolic diseases, which are applied to evaluate the effects of obesogenic EDCs and their disruption activity, were thoroughly and critically discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this work has been to study the possible degradation path of BPA under the Fenton reaction, namely to determine the energetically favorable intermediate products and to compare the cytotoxicity of BPA and its intermediate products of degradation. The DFT calculations of the Gibbs free energy at M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) level of theory showed that the formation of hydroquinone was the most energetically favorable path in a water environment. To explore the cytotoxicity the erythrocytes were incubated with BPA and three intermediate products of its degradation, i.e., phenol, hydroquinone and 4-isopropylphenol, in the concentrations 5-200 μg/mL, for 1, 4 and 24 h. BPA induced the strongest hemolytic changes in erythrocytes, followed by hydroquinone, phenol and 4-isopropylphenol. In the presence of hydroquinone, the highest level of RONS was observed, whereas BPA had the weakest effect on RONS generation. In addition, hydroquinone decreased the level of GSH the most. Generally, our results suggest that a preferable BPA degradation path under a Fenton reaction should be controlled in order to avoid the formation of hydroquinone. This is applicable to the degradation of BPA during waste water treatment and during chemical degradation in sea water.

Abstract
Throughout the food supply chain, including production, storage, and distribution, food can be contaminated by harmful chemicals and microorganisms, resulting in a severe threat to human health. In recent years, the rapid advancement and development of nanotechnology proposed revolutionary solutions to solve several problems in scientific and industrial areas, including food monitoring. Nanotechnology can be incorporated into chemical and biological sensors to improve analytical performance, such as response time, sensitivity, selectivity, reliability, and accuracy. Based on the characteristics of the contaminants and the detection methods, nanotechnology can be applied in different ways in order to improve conventional techniques. Nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanorods, nanosheets, nanocomposites, nanotubes, and nanowires provide various functions for the immobilization and labeling of contaminants in electrochemical and optical detection. This review summarizes the recent advances in nanotechnology for detecting chemical and biological contaminations in the food supply chain.

Abstract
Obesity is becoming an inevitable pandemic all over the world. The World Obesity Federation predicts in the 2022 World Obesity Atlas that one billion people worldwide, including 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men, will be living with obesity by 2030. Moreover, the prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide, and diabetes is becoming more of a public health problem. Increased insulin resistance due to obesity and deficiency in insulin secretion are the two main causes of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). An exogenous chemical or mixture of chemicals that interferes with any aspect of hormone action was defined as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Bisphenol A (BPA), the first known EDC, was synthesized and was considered to be estrogenic. Global production of BPA has increased progressively from 5 to 8 million tons (MT) between 2010 and 2016. Furthermore, researchers estimated that the production should reach 10.2 MT by 2022. The human population is exposed to EDCs in daily life in such forms as pesticides/herbicides, industrial and household products, plastics, detergents, and personal care products. The term obesogen was used for chemicals that promote weight gain and obesity by increasing the number of adipocytes and fat storage in existing adipocytes, changing the energy balance, and finally regulating appetite and satiety. Besides the obesogenic effect, EDCs can cause T2DM through alteration in ß cell function and morphology and insulin resistance. In this review, we provide clinical and mechanistic evidence regarding EDCs as obesogen and diabetogen. However, those studies are not enough methodologically to indicate causality. In this respect, randomized clinical trials are needed to investigate the association between obesogen, diabetogen and the related metabolic clinical picture.

Abstract
Simple Summary Bisphenol A (BPA) is primarily used to produce polycarbonate plastics, such as water bottles. Exposure to BPA has been shown to increase the growth of breast cancer cells that depend on estrogen for growth due to its ability to mimic estrogen. More recent studies have suggested that BPA also affects the cellular and non-cellular components that compose tumor microenvironments (TMEs), namely the environment around a tumor, thereby potentially promoting breast cancer growth via altering the TME. The TME plays an essential role in cancer development and promotion. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the effect of BPA on breast TMEs to assess its role in the risk of breast cancer adequately. This review examines the potential effects of BPA on immune cells, fibroblasts, extracellular matrices, and adipocytes to highlight their roles in mediating the carcinogenic effect of BPA, and thereby proposes considerations for the risk assessment of BPA exposure. Abstract BPA, a chemical used in the preparation of polycarbonate plastics, is an endocrine disruptor. Exposure to BPA has been suggested to be a risk factor for breast cancer because of its potential to induce estrogen receptor signaling in breast cancer cells. More recently, it has been recognized that BPA also binds to the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor and other nuclear receptors, in addition to estrogen receptors, and acts on immune cells, adipocytes, and fibroblasts, potentially modulating the TME. The TME significantly impacts the behavior of cancer cells. Therefore, understanding how BPA affects stromal components in breast cancer is imperative to adequately assess the association between exposure to BPA and the risk of breast cancer. This review examines the effects of BPA on stromal components of tumors to highlight their potential role in the carcinogenic effect of BPA. As a result, I propose considerations for the risk assessment of BPA exposure and studies needed to improve understanding of the TME-mediated, breast cancer-promoting effect of BPA.
