Plastics are synthetic, complex, and heterogeneous materials. Their composition is based on a carbon-based polymer structure and thousands of chemical additives used to control properties such as color, flexibility, stability, water resistance, ultraviolet resistance, and flame retardancy. From a production standpoint, global plastic manufacturing in 2002 was approximately 204 million ton…
Dr. Wellerson Scarano (São Paulo State University in Brazil) and Dr. Jodi Flaws (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the United States) propose to develop a collaboration in which they work together to examine the effects of perinatal exposure to plastic contamination (micro/nanoparticles and phthalates) on reproductive health in female and male offspring. Drs. Scarano and Flaws h…
The plastic problem is one of the biggest public health challenges on the planet. Research has shown that global plastic production was 400 million tons in 2015, and an estimated 12 billion tons of plastic waste is expected to be produced by 2050. When plastics enter the environment, they degrade to form microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) that enter the body through breathing, ing…
The incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, as well as genetic diseases such as cancer, has increased in recent decades due to several socio-economic and environmental factors. Thus, interest in environmental factors that interfere without intra-uterine development and rnorphofunctional, genetic and epigenetic promovamzy, including how they can be transmitted to offspr…
The incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, as well as genetic diseases such as cancer, has increased in recent decades due to several socioeconomic and environmental factors that seem to interfere in the development, incidence and prognosis of these diseases. With regard to cancer, the temporal factor distances in up to 50-60 years the stages of initiation and tumor p…

global plastic production was 400 million tons in 2015, and according to estimates, 12 billion tons of plastic waste are expected to be produced by 2050. When plastics enter the environment, they degrade to form microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) that penetrate the body through respiration, ingestion of contaminated water and food, and skin. The intrauterine microenvironment has b…
The use of plastics and their improper disposal have contributed to increased exposure to environmental contaminants. Discarded plastics fragment into smaller particles, forming micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs). Due to their hydrophobic surface, MNPs adsorb other toxic compounds, such as phthalates, classified as endocrine disruptors (EDs), potentiating adverse health effects, including cha…
Epidemiological and experimental studies show that adversities during pregnancy and/or lactation can lead to metabolic programming in offspring, increasing their susceptibility to chronic diseases, a context associated with the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD). Correspondingly, cardiovascular diseases have been increasing year after year, bringing numerous impacts to pu…

The increase in the rate of production and use of plastics has generated concerns and discussions about environmental pollution and consequent contamination of organisms. In the environment, plastics are degraded into micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) that, due to the size of their particles, penetrate the human body. As a complication, chemical agents, phthalates, are added to the production…
The prostate gland is extremely important for the male reproductive system and is increasingly gaining prominence due to the high incidence of Prostate Cancer (PCa). Phthalates are a group of chemical compounds used as plasticizers to confer greater malleability and flexibility and are considered Endocrine Disruptors (ED) due to their antiandrogenic action. Previous work from our research…

The widespread production and pollution of plastics has been gaining attention due to the effects of plastics polution on the environment and human health. Once in the environment, plastic polymers degrade into small particles called micro or nanoplastics, which can reach humans and cause health consequences. Furthermore, plastic additives are released into the environment and attach to t…
Phthalates represent a class of molecules detected in different concentrations in breast milk, in the urine of pregnant women, and in the human and rodent placenta. Previous studies have shown that perinatal exposure to isolated phthalates increased susceptibility to prostatic carcinogenesis. Thus, the study seeks to investigate the OMICS profile on ventral prostate (VP) of senescent rats…
