It is reported that methylparaben (MeP, a widely used phenolic preservative) and its major metabolite p‑hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA) display estrogenic activity and are frequently detected in various environmental settings. Naturally occurring manganese dioxide (MnO2) plays an important role in atten...
