“…The first-order degradation rate constant (k) in T 1 was 0.116 h −1 . This value was higher than the rate constant k (0.039 h −1 ) determined by Guo et al (2017), who explored the bioaccumulation and elimination process of 14 C-labeled BPA by Chlorella pyrenoidosa (freshwater green microalgae) which showed a lower accumulated rate (15%) after ten days of 10.8 μg BPA L −1 exposure. The difference in the pollution acclimation ability of different algae species might lead to the difference in the accumulation of BPA by algae (Ike et al, 2000).…”

“…As a typical representative EDCs, BPA is a major contributor to the endocrine-disrupting effects in aquatic environments (Eio et al, 2015;Xu et al, 2014). In the global aquatic ecosystems, except for acting as a primary producer (Nakajima et al, 2007), algae are also considered to play an important role in the removal of hydrophobic organic contaminants (Guo et al, 2017). Our previous work assessed the uptake removal of phenanthrene by U. prolifera that demonstrated its potential on the removal of hydrophobic organic contaminants (C. Zhang et al, 2017).…”

“…The octanol-water partition coefficient (K ow ) for BPA is 3.40, which means it may be accumulated by algal because of its moderate hydrophobic property (Isobe et al, 2007). Microalgae have been reported to play important role in the fate of EDCs in freshwater aquatic environments (Gattullo et al, 2012;Guo et al, 2017;Hom-Diaz et al, 2015;Nakajima et al, 2007;Ruksrithong and Phattarapattamawong, 2017;Wang et al, 2017). Gattullo et al (2012) studied the removal of BPA by the microalga Monoraphidium braunii to find that approximately 35%-48% of BPA (2-10 mg L −1 ) was removed from wastewater and BPA at the lower concentrations (b4 mg L −1 ) was not toxic for alga.…”

New phycoremediation of coastal water with BPA occurred during green tide bloom. • N94% of BPA was removed by the greentidal algae U. prolifera. • BPA removal efficiency has positive relationship with light, nutrient and temperature. • High removal efficiency (N94%) was achieved at environmental relevant concentrations. • BPA concentration in green tide bloom area was much lower than that in adjacent area.

“…However, when their potential for biostimulation of the soil biochemical activity is exploited, this property can be seen as an asset. Guo et al (2017) demonstrated the presence of bound BPA residues defined as non-extractable. After only 10 days of exposure to bisphenol A, algae cells accumulated 15% of it, and the bioconcentration index for total radioactivity in algae was 106 cm 3 g −1 DM of algae, which indicates that the biostimulation was effective.…”

Purpose The knowledge about the impact of BPA on soil health does not correspond to the great interest in its analogues. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine the potentially negative impact of BPA on the biochemical properties of soil. The study also evaluated the effectiveness of two biostimulants in eliminating potential homeostasis disorders caused by BPA. Materials and methods A pot experiment was conducted under supervised conditions. BPA at five contamination levels was added to the soil of the granulometric composition of sandy loam at 0, 0.1, 2, 40 and 800 mg BPA kg −1 of a dry matter (DM) of soil. The biochemical activity of the soil was interpreted through the activity of dehydrogenases (Deh), urease (Ure), catalase (Cat), acid phosphatase (Pac), alkaline phosphatase (Pal), arylsulphatase (Aryl) and β-glucosidase (Glu) whose activity was determined on days 5, 15 and 45 of the study. The biostimulative potential of Chlorella sp. and rhamnolipid 90 (which eliminates the undesirable effects of BPA on the parameters) was expressed with IF B-the factor of the impact of increasing of bisphenol (BP) soil contamination levels. The response of spring barley to increasing BPA pressure was analysed with the plant resistance index (RS). The study was made more comprehensive by determination of the macronutrient content in the plants. Results and discussion The sensitivity of individual enzymes to increasing bisphenol pressure on the 45th day of the experiment can be arranged in the following sequence: Deh > Ure > Glu > Pac > Cat > Aryl > Pal. Biostimulation of soil with Chlorella sp. gave better results than with rhamnolipid 90. A compilation of BPA 800 mg BPA kg −1 DM of soil and Chlorella sp. brought about an increase in the activity of Glu on the 45th day of the experiment and Pac, Pal and Aryl on the 5th day. Only at this contamination level did BPA stimulate the crop growth in all the parallel plots except in those biostimulated by Chlorella sp. Only algae significantly reduced the negative BPA impact on the N, Ca and K content in spring barley. Conclusions The experiment emphasised the significant inhibitory impact of BPA on the biochemical activity of soil which, in consequence, upset the microbial balance of soil processes. Chlorella sp. played a more important role in maintaining the soil homeostasis than rhamnolipid 90, which did not correspond to its negative impact on the yield of spring barley.

“…However, even in freshwater environments, the persistence of plastic waste and the continuous effluent discharges into the environment means that aquatic organisms are consistently exposed to BPA (Sharma et al., 2009). BPA is taken up by aquatic organisms via the gills, ingestion of food and absorption in the digestive tract, cutaneous uptake or plant root absorption (Bjerregaard, Andersen, Pedersen, Pedersen, & Korsgaard, 2007; Chen et al., 2017; Guo et al., 2017; Völkel, Colnot, Csanády, Filser, & Dekant, 2002).…”

Effect of the plastic pollutant bisphenol A on the biology of aquatic organisms: A meta‐analysis

Plastic pollution is a global environmental concern. In particular, the endocrine‐disrupting chemical bisphenol A (BPA) is nearly ubiquitous in aquatic environments globally, and it continues to be produced and released into the environment in large quantities. BPA disrupts hormone signalling and can thereby have far‐reaching physiological and ecological consequences. However, it is not clear whether BPA has consistent effects across biological traits and phylogenetic groups. Hence, the aim of this study was to establish the current state of knowledge of the effect of BPA in aquatic organisms. We show that overall BPA exposure affected aquatic organisms negatively. It increased abnormalities, altered behaviour and had negative effects on the cardiovascular system, development, growth and survival. Early life stages were the most sensitive to BPA exposure in invertebrates and vertebrates, and invertebrates and amphibians seem to be particularly affected. These data provide a context for management efforts in the face of increasing plastic pollution. However, data availability is highly biased with respect to taxonomic groups and traits studies, and in the geographical distribution of sample collection. The latter is the case for both measurements of the biological responses and assessing pollution levels in water ways. Future research effort should be directed towards biological systems, such as studying endocrine disruption directly, and geographical areas (particularly in Africa and Asia) which we identify to be currently undersampled.
