Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I succeeded in elucidation of TBBPA contamination level in infant food, and in variation of monitoring method of the sex steroid hormones using GC/MS. I investigated the contamination level of foods and breast milk for infants, TBBPA level in breast milk was higher than that of infant foods. Interestingly, the breast milk was detected to metabolites as tribromobisphenol A. From these results, I pointed out importance of monitoring to metabolites such as debrominated TBBPA. Moreover, I enabled to confirm for monitoring method of sex steroid hormones (four kinds of androgens, three kinds of estrogens, three kinds of progestins and metabolites).
