Figure 1.

In vitro toxicity of chemicals migrating from plastic consumer products. Baseline toxicity (Microtox) and oxidative stress response (AREc32) are presented as effect concentrations inducing 20% baseline toxicity (EC₂₀) or an induction ratio of 2 (EC_IR2) as well as effect levels (EL) at the highest analyzed noncytotoxic concentration. Estrogenic (YES) and antiandrogenic activities (YAAS) are shown as relative (%) activation of the human estrogen receptor α (hERα) and inhibition of the androgen receptor (hAR). Note: x, all analyzed concentrations were cytotoxic; +, food contact materials.
