Prediction of endometrial tissue PFAS concentrations using serum levels, demographic, and reproductive factors: Findings from the Investigating Mixtures of Pollutants and Endometriosis in Tissue (IMPLANT) study
Environmental epidemiology (Philadelphia, Pa.) ·doi:10.1097/EE9.0000000000000476

BACKGROUND: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) accumulate in reproductive tissues, yet most studies rely on serum measurements. It remains unclear whether serum concentrations adequately reflect levels in target tissues. We evaluate…

An assessment of maternal concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and trace elements during the second trimester of pregnancy in western Pennsylvania.
Environmental monitoring and assessment ·doi:10.1007/s10661-025-14304-y

Exposure to trace elements and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during pregnancy is linked to adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes. High smoking rates in western Pennsylvania may influence exposure to these chemicals. W…

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Eutopic Endometrium Tissue and Risk of Endometriosis: Findings from the Investigating Mixtures of Pollutants and Endometriosis in Tissue (IMPLANT) Study
Environmental health perspectives ·doi:10.1289/ehp15852

BACKGROUND: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure is widespread and has been linked with gynecologic disease. To our knowledge, no study has measured PFAS in endometrial tissue. METHODS: Eutopic endometrial tissue specimens (…

Prenatal phthalate exposure and anogenital distance in infants at 12 months.
Environment international ·doi:10.1016/j.envint.2025.109472

ObjectiveAnogenital distance (AGD) is a postnatal marker of in utero exposure to androgens and anti-androgens, and a predictor of reproductive health. We examined the association between gestational exposure to phthalates and AGD in male an…

A review of sources, pathways, and toxic effects of human exposure to benzophenone ultraviolet light filters.
Eco-Environment & Health ·doi:10.1016/j.eehl.2023.10.001

Benzophenone ultraviolet light filters (BPs) are high-production-volume chemicals extensively used in personal care products, leading to widespread human exposure. Given their estrogenic properties, the potential health risks associated wit…

Adipose to serum ratio and mixtures of persistent organic pollutants in relation to endometriosis: Findings from the ENDO Study
Environmental research ·doi:10.1016/j.envres.2021.110732

BackgroundEndometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their mixtures may play an etiologic role.ObjectivesWe evaluated an adipose-to-serum ratio (ASR) of lipophilic EDCs and their mixtures assoc…
