“…In environmental metabolomics, several authors focused on the identification of (potential) biomarkers in response to PhAC exposure. Our literature review revealed, however, that the main molecular effects highlighted in response to PhAC exposure and proposed as potential biomarkers (e.g., alterations in amino acid, nucleotide, and lipid and energy metabolism) were related to similar pathways that can be disturbed by other environmental contaminants (e.g., pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), microplastics, heavy metals, and nanomaterials) [6,46,47] or environmental conditions [48,49]. It therefore may not be of interest to search for PhAC-specific biomarkers.…”
