“…NP concentrations in mysid samples ranged from 206 to 435 ng/g dw. Almost no data are available on NP concentrations in invertebrates, although previous studies have reported bioconcentration factors of 100-280 in marine shrimp (McCleese et al, 1981;Ekelund et al, 1990) and relatively high NP levels (300-450 ng/g ww) were detected in zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) taken from polluted freshwater rivers in The Netherlands .…”

Abstract. Sediment and mysids from the Scheldt estuary, one of the largest and most polluted estuaries in Western Europe, were analyzed for a number of contaminants that have shown to possess endocrine-disrupting activity, i.e. organotins, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE) and transformation products nonylphenol (NP) and nonylphenol ether carboxylates (NPEC). In addition, in vitro estrogenic and androgenic potencies of water and sediment extracts were determined. Total organotin concentrations ranged from 84 to 348 ng/g dw in sediment and 1110 to 1370 ng/g dw in mysid. Total PBDE (excluding BDE-209) concentrations ranged from 14 to 22 ng/g dw in sediment and from 1765 to 2962 ng/g lipid in mysid. High concentrations of BDE-209 (240-1650 ng/g dw) were detected in sediment and mysid (269-600 ng/g lipid). Total HBCD concentrations in sediment and mysid were 14-71 ng/g dw and 562-727 ng/g lipid, respectively. Total NPE concentrations in sediment were 1422 ng/g dw, 1222 ng/g dw for NP and 80 ng/g dw for NPEC and ranged from 430 to 1119 ng/g dw for total NPE and from 206 to 435 ng/g dw for NP in mysid. Significant estrogenic potency, as analyzed using the yeast estrogen assay, was detected in sediment and water samples from the Scheldt estuary, but no androgenic activity was found. This study is the first to report high levels of endocrine disruptors in estuarine mysids.Capsule. Field populations of mysid shrimp (Neomysis integer) of the Scheldt estuary (The Netherlands) are exposed to high concentrations of endocrine disruptors.

“…Nonylphenol was reported to have an estrogenic activity at a tissue concentration of 1 M in vitro, although the activity was 10 -6 times less than 17-estradiol (E2), the main natural estrogen, (Jobling and Sumpter, 1993). Substantial evidences have been demonstrated showing that nonylphenol causes various disorders of the male reproductive system, including reduced testicular size and sperm production in rainbow trout and other marine animals (Granmo et al, 1989;Ekelund et al, 1990). Moreover, in vitro experiments also revealed that it induced proliferation of the human breast cancer cell line (Verma and Goldin, 1998).…”

Calcium alginate beads covalently linked with -cyclodextrin (-CD-alginate beads) were prepared and examined for their ability to serve as a supporting matrix for bacterial degradation of nonylphenol, an endocrine disruptor. Column chromatographic experiment using -CD-alginate beads with diameter of 657 ± 82 m and with degree of CD substitution of 0.16 showed a strong affinity for nonylphenol adsorption. Although addition of -CD (2.7-27 mM) to the culture broth of Sphingomonas cloacae retarded nonylphenol degradation, the immobilized bacteria on the CD-alginate beads were effective for the degradation. Batch degradation tests using the immobilized bacteria on -CD-alginate-beads showed 46% nonylphenol recovery after 10-day incubation at 25 ± 2 °C, and the recovery reached to about 17% when wide and shallow incubation tubes were used to facilitate uptake of the viscous liquid of nonylphenol on the surface of the medium. Scanning electron microscopic photographs revealed that multiplicated bacteria was present both on the surface and inside the beads and the matrix of CD-alginate was stable and suitable during 10-day incubation.

“…bioavailability may be increased in some filter feeders as a result of adsorption to particles. Furthermore, whilst elimination of NP from shrimp (and stickleback) was fairly rapid, and complete after a few days, a substantial residue remained in mussels -even after 30 days -and more than 80% of this residue cochromatographed with the administered 14 C-NP, implying low levels of metabolism (Ekelund et al, 1990). …”

Partitioning, bioavailability and effects of oestrogens and xeno-oestrogens in the aquatic environment

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review provides insights into the distribution and impact of oestrogens and xenooestrogens in the aquatic environment and highlights some significant knowledge gaps in our understanding of endocrine disrupting chemicals. Key areas of uncertainty in the assessment of risk include the role of estuarine sediments in mediating the fate and bioavailability of environmental (xeno)oestrogens (notably their transfer to benthic organisms and estuarine food chains), together with evidence for endocrine disruption in invertebrate populations.Emphasis is placed on using published information to interpret the behaviour and effects of a small number of 'model compounds' thought to contribute to oestrogenic effects in nature; namely, the natural steroid 17β-estradiol (E2) and the synthetic hormone 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), together with the alkylphenols octyl-and nonylphenol (OP, NP) as oestrogen mimics. Individual sections of the review are devoted to sources and concentrations of (xeno)oestrogens in waterways, sediment partitioning and persistence, bioaccumulation rates and routes, assays and biomarkers of oestrogenicity, and, finally, a synopsis of reproductive and ecological effects in aquatic species.
