General description

Nonylphenol is a toxic xenobiotic compound classified as an endocrine disrupter capable of interfering with the hormonal system of numerous organisms. Nonylphenol has been reported as antiandrogen by using a yeast detection system. Molecular mechanism for the antiandrogenic action of nonylphenol has been reported.

Application

  • Chlorination of Emerging Contaminants for Application in Potable Wastewater Reuse: Disinfection Byproduct Formation, Estrogen Activity, and Cytotoxicity.: Investigates the formation of disinfection byproducts, estrogen activity, and cytotoxicity during chlorination of nonylphenol in potable wastewater reuse applications, offering insights into water treatment safety protocols (Cochran et al., 2024).
  • Triple-Mode Sensor Coupled by Photoelectrochemical, Electrochromic, and Spectral Signals for Sensitive Visualized Detection of Nonylphenol.: Describes the development of a sensitive triple-mode sensor for detecting nonylphenol, integrating photoelectrochemical, electrochromic, and spectral signals, which could be instrumental in environmental monitoring and industrial process controls (Cao et al., 2023).

Nonylphenol is a toxic xenobiotic compound classified as an endocrine disrupter capable of interfering with the hormonal system of numerous organisms. It originates principally from the degradation of nonylphenol ethoxylates which are widely used as industrial surfactants. Nonylphenol ethoxylates reach
