Bioaccumulation and Male Reproductive Toxicity of the New Brominated Flame Retardant Tetrabromobisphenol A-Bis(2,3-dibromo-2-methylpropyl ether) in Comparison with Hexabromocyclododecane
Tetrabromobisphenol A-bis(2,3-dibromo-2-methylpropyl ether) (TBBPA-DBMPE) has come into use as an alternative to hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), but it is unclear whether TBBPA-DBMPE has less hazard than HBCD. Here, we compared the bioaccumulation and male reproductive toxicity between TBBPA-DBMPE and HBCD in mice following long-term oral exposure after birth. We found that the concentrations of TBBPA-DBMPE in livers significantly increased with time, exhibiting a bioaccumulation potency not substantially different from HBCD. Lactational exposure to 1000 μg/kg/d TBBPA-DBMPE as well as 50 μg/kg/d HBCD inhibited testis development in suckling pups, and extended exposure up to adulthood resulted in significant molecular and cellular alterations in testes, with slighter effects of 50 μg/kg/d TBBPA-DBMPE. When exposure was extended to 8 month age, severe reproductive impairments including reduced sperm count, increased abnormal sperm, and subfertility occurred in all treated animals, although 50 μg/kg/d TBBPA-DBMPE exerted lower effects than 50 μg/kg/d HBCD. Altogether, all data led us to conclude that TBBPA-DBMPE exerted weaker male reproductive toxicity than HBCD at the same doses but exhibited bioaccumulation potential roughly equivalent to HBCD. Our study fills the data gap regarding the bioaccumulation and toxicity of TBBPA-DBMPE and raises concerns about its use as an alternative to HBCD.
