[en] Highlights: • BPA, BPA alternatives, and parabens were detected in maternal and cord plasma. • BPA was significantly higher in mixed cord than in maternal plasma (p=0.0455). • Parabens were negatively associated with testosterone in mixed cord plasma. • Main hormonal steroids and selected neurosteroids were determined in both fluids. The harmful effects of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) on human health are generally well-known, and exposure during fetal development may have lasting effects. Fetal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) has been recently relatively well-studied; however, less is known about alternatives such as bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol AF (BPAF), which have started to appear in consumer products. Parabens are another widespread group of EDCs, with confirmed transplacental passage. The usage of many cosmetic, pharmaceutical and consumer products during the pregnancy that may contain parabens and bisphenols has led to the need for investigation.
