• Description: 2,4,6-Tribromophenyl-terminated tetrabromobisphenol-A carbonate oligomer (2,4,6-TBBA) is a synthetic substance that belongs to the group of environmental estrogens. It has been found in soil and water samples and is known to be an endocrine disruptor. 2,4,6-TBBA has been detected in urine samples of women and control groups in concentrations that are considerably higher than those found in males. This substance has been shown to cause estrogenic effects such as altering the menstrual cycle and decreasing sperm count by binding to estrogen receptors. The presence of 2,4,6-TBBA can be determined by analysing urine samples with β-glucuronidase for hydrolysis of phenolic metabolites.
