“…However, the concentration of BPF (14.97 vs. 1.52 ng/g) in their study is approximately ten times lower than observed in our investigation [ 38 ]. In a separate study, it was noted that the average concentration of BPA in Rangia cuneata, a type of bivalve, was 174 ng/g, which is approximately 100 times higher than the concentration observed in Paphia undulata in the current study [ 39 ]. It is evident that the concentration and distribution of BPs in sea products exhibit significant variations across different areas.…”

In this study, 245 representative samples of aquatic products were selected from local markets in Shenzhen by stochastic sampling. The samples comprised eight species and fell into three aquatic product categories: fish, crustaceans, and bivalves. A total of eight BPs were determined by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, namely, bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol AF (BPAF), bisphenol AP (BPAP), bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol P (BPP), bisphenol Z (BPZ), and bisphenol F (BPF). All BPs were detected in aquatic products, except for BPAF, indicating pervasive contamination by BPs in aquatic products. BPS demonstrated the highest detection rate both before and after enzymatic hydrolysis, whereas BPAP exhibited the lowest detection rate before enzymatic hydrolysis and BPB displayed the lowest detection rate after enzymatic hydrolysis. The concentration difference before and after enzymatic hydrolysis proved to be statistically significant. Moreover, 49–96% of BPs in aquatic products were found in the combined state, underscoring the essentiality of conducting detections on aquatic product samples following enzymatic hydrolysis. While the health risks associated with ingesting BPs residues through aquatic product consumption were found to be minimal for residents at risk of exposure, the results suggest the necessity for more stringent regulations governing the consumption of aquatic products.

“…In addition, parabens have been found to disrupt the balance of thyroid hormones [20]. As for another common type of EDC, alkylphenols, several toxicological studies have shown that 4-t-BP and 4-t-OP can cause endocrine disruption and reproductive and developmental toxicity, and induce DNA damage and apoptosis in animals [3,[21][22][23][24]. Epidemiological studies have shown that exposure to 4-t-OP may increase the likelihood of male infertility [25].…”

Parabens and alkylphenols pose serious hazards to human health, yet there are few studies on their exposure profiles and health risks in rural Chinese populations. In this study, 804 participants were selected from the Henan Rural Cohort in mid-eastern China. The plasma levels of parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben (BuP)) and alkylphenols (4-tert-butylphenol (4-t-BP), 4-tert-octylphenol (4-t-OP)) were analyzed via liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Linear regression models were used to investigate factors that may influence pollutant exposure levels. The correlation between contaminants was assessed using Spearman’s correlation. The human contaminant intake was estimated using the estimated daily intake (EDI). The health risk was assessed using the hazard quotient (HQ). The detection frequency of four parabens and two alkylphenols exceeded 75%, with median concentrations of 0.444, 0.067, 0.078, 0.053, 8.810, and 6.401 ng/mL, respectively. Significant correlations were observed between parabens, as well as between 4-t-BP and 4-t-OP. Regarding gender, paraben concentrations were higher in women than in men, except for BuP. The EDI for pollutants except 4-t-OP was lower than their respective tolerable/acceptable daily intake. In total, 85.70% of participants had 4-t-OP HQ > 1. A widespread exposure to parabens and alkylphenols among the rural population was found. The high health risks of alkylphenol exposure indicate that alkylphenols should be used with caution.

“…Its toxicity directly affects a wide variety of organs and tissues, mainly lungs, liver, kidneys and genitourinary system (Nistor, Emneús, Gorton and Ciucu, 1999). Due to the extreme toxicity of phenol and its stability, it remains for long periods of time with a tendency to bioaccumulate, causing considerable damage to ecosystems (Graca, Rychter, Staniszewska, Smolarz, Sokołowski and Bodziach, 2021). At concentrations of 0.5 mg/L, they are lethal to fish and when they bioaccumulate, their long-term effects are more serious (USEPA, 2016).…”
