TecnATox made waves at the recent 34th SETAC (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry) held in Sevilla from 5 to 9 May, with groundbreaking research shedding light on the chemical exposome and its impact on human health.

Dr. Montse Marquès chaired the session titled "Unveiling the Chemical Exposome: Insights From Human Biomonitoring and Its Influence on Adverse Health Outcomes”, and she also presented two pivotal posters:

  1. Holistic determination of the prenatal exposome for a comprehensive overview of placental barrier: This research provides a holistic view of the prenatal exposome, offering valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of the placental barrier and its interaction with environmental factors.
  2. Identification of exogenous organic compounds in blood plasma, seminal plasma, and urine, and their association with human semen quality: This study delves into the association between exogenous organic compounds and human semen quality, offering crucial insights into potential impacts on reproductive health.
Ana González-Ruiz, a PhD student of the TecnATox, made significant contributions with her flash presentation entitled: Potential Association of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Case-Control Study. González's research sheds light on the potential link between endocrine-disrupting chemicals and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, presenting a compelling case-control study that underscores the need for further investigation into this area.
