b Samples were treated with b-glucur<strong>on</strong>idase.<br />

sealants. Excluded from <strong>the</strong> study were individuals with<br />

resin-based materials <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir teeth, smokers, users of<br />

antihistamines, <strong>and</strong> patients with Gilbert syndrome. The<br />

volunteers received ei<strong>the</strong>r Helioseal F (n 5 5) or Delt<strong>on</strong><br />

LC (n 5 9) sealant. Sealant was weighed before <strong>and</strong> after<br />

applicati<strong>on</strong> to determine <strong>the</strong> amount applied, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

number of treated teeth was recorded. The mean number<br />

of teeth treated was 6/pers<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> mean total weight<br />

of sealant applied was 40.35 mg/pers<strong>on</strong>. In a comparis<strong>on</strong><br />

of <strong>the</strong> 2 sealants, no differences were reported for<br />

number of teeth treated or amount of sealant applied.<br />

Saliva samples were collected before treatment, immediately<br />

after, <strong>and</strong> at 1 hr following sealant applicati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Urine samples were collected before treatment <strong>and</strong> at 1<br />

<strong>and</strong> 24 hr following sealant placement. A total of 14–15<br />

saliva samples <strong>and</strong> 12–14 urine samples were collected at<br />

each time point. Samples were treated with b-glucur<strong>on</strong>idase<br />

<strong>and</strong> analyzed for bisphenol A c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

using selective <strong>and</strong> sensitive isotope-diluti<strong>on</strong>-MS-based<br />

methods. Table 21 summarizes changes in saliva <strong>and</strong><br />

bisphenol A c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s. Immediately <strong>and</strong> at 1 hr after<br />

sealant applicati<strong>on</strong>, salivary c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s of bisphenol<br />

A compared to baseline were significantly higher in <strong>the</strong><br />

patients who received <strong>the</strong> Delt<strong>on</strong> LC sealant. Bisphenol<br />

A c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s in saliva increased 484-fold following<br />

applicati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> Delt<strong>on</strong> LC sealant. Urinary c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

of bisphenol A were increased 1 hr following<br />

applicati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> Delt<strong>on</strong> LC sealant. C<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s of<br />

bisphenol A in saliva <strong>and</strong> urine following applicati<strong>on</strong> of<br />

Helioseal F were reported to be similar to baseline.<br />

The European Uni<strong>on</strong> (2003) reviewed unpublished<br />

preliminary data from a human dermal absorpti<strong>on</strong> study.<br />

Skin samples obtained from 3 human d<strong>on</strong>ors (6 samples/<br />

d<strong>on</strong>or/dose) were exposed to 5 or 50 mg/cm 2 (3.18 or<br />

31.8 mg/mL) 14 C-bisphenol A in ethanol vehicle. Following<br />

evaporati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> vehicle, bisphenol A was<br />

resuspended in artificial sweat. Radioactivity was measured<br />

in receptor fluid at various time intervals over a 24hr<br />

period. Radioactivity was measured in <strong>the</strong> stratum<br />

corneum <strong>and</strong> ‘‘lower’’ skin layer at 24 hr. Authors of <strong>the</strong><br />

European Uni<strong>on</strong> report noted that tritiated water was not<br />

used as a marker for skin integrity. However, based <strong>on</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> patterns of results, <strong>the</strong>y c<strong>on</strong>cluded that skin integrity<br />

was likely lost after 4–8 hr. The European Uni<strong>on</strong> authors<br />

<strong>the</strong>refore c<strong>on</strong>cluded that <strong>the</strong> <strong>on</strong>ly reliable data from <strong>the</strong><br />

study were those for <strong>the</strong> cumulative percentage of <strong>the</strong><br />

dose in receptor fluid at 8 hr, which was reported at 0.57–<br />

Birth Defects Research (Part B) 83:157–395, 2008<br />

183<br />

1.22% at 5 mg/cm 2 <strong>and</strong> 0.491–0.835% at 50 mg/cm 2 .<br />

Because radioactivity in skin was not measured at 8 hr,<br />

<strong>the</strong> percentage of <strong>the</strong> applied dose remaining <strong>on</strong> skin <strong>and</strong><br />

available for future absorpti<strong>on</strong> could not be determined.<br />

Based <strong>on</strong> ratios of receptor fluid c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>and</strong><br />

lower skin levels (1:2 to 1:8) at 24 hr, <strong>and</strong> assuming that<br />

<strong>the</strong> higher ratio applies to skin at 8 hr, <strong>the</strong> authors of <strong>the</strong><br />

European Uni<strong>on</strong> report predicted that 10% of <strong>the</strong> dose<br />

would be present in ‘‘lower’’ skin layers. Therefore,<br />

dermal absorpti<strong>on</strong> of bisphenol A was estimated at 10%.<br />

2.1.1.2 Distributi<strong>on</strong>: In humans, bisphenol A was<br />

measured in cord blood <strong>and</strong> amniotic fluid, dem<strong>on</strong>strating<br />

distributi<strong>on</strong> to <strong>the</strong> embryo or fetus. Studies reporting<br />

bisphenol A c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s in fetal <strong>and</strong>/or maternal<br />

compartments are summarized in Table 9. Detailed<br />

descripti<strong>on</strong>s of those studies are also presented below.<br />

Engel et al. (2006) reported c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s of bisphenol<br />

A in human amniotic fluid. Twenty-<strong>on</strong>e samples were<br />

obtained during amniocentesis c<strong>on</strong>ducted before 20<br />

weeks gestati<strong>on</strong> in women who were referred to a U.S.<br />

medical center for advanced maternal age. Bisphenol A<br />

c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s in amniotic fluid were measured using LC<br />

with electrochemical detecti<strong>on</strong>. Bisphenol A was detected<br />

in 10% of samples at c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s exceeding <strong>the</strong> LOD<br />

(0.5 mg/L). Bisphenol A c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> ranges of 0.5–<br />

1.96 mg/L were reported.<br />

Schönfelder et al. (2002b) examined bisphenol A<br />

c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s in maternal <strong>and</strong> fetal blood <strong>and</strong> compared<br />

bisphenol A c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s in blood of male <strong>and</strong> female<br />

fetuses. In a study c<strong>on</strong>ducted at a German medical<br />

center, blood samples were obtained from 37 Caucasian<br />

women between 32–41 weeks gestati<strong>on</strong>. At parturiti<strong>on</strong>,<br />

blood was collected from <strong>the</strong> umbilical vein after<br />

expulsi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> placenta. Bisphenol A c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

in plasma were measured by GC/MS. C<strong>on</strong>trol experiments<br />

were c<strong>on</strong>ducted to verify that bisphenol A did not<br />

leach from collecti<strong>on</strong>, storage, or testing equipment.<br />

Bisphenol A was detected in all samples tested, <strong>and</strong><br />

c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s measured in maternal <strong>and</strong> fetal blood are<br />

summarized in Table 9. Mean bisphenol A c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

were higher in maternal (4.473.9 [SD] mg/L) than fetal<br />

blood (2.972.5 mg/L). Study authors noted that in 14<br />

cases fetal bisphenol A plasma c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s exceeded<br />

those detected in maternal plasma. Am<strong>on</strong>g those 14<br />

cases, 12 fetuses were male. Analysis by paired<br />

t-test showed significantly higher mean bisphenol<br />
