“…Although its volatility is lower than that of water, BPA can be released into the atmosphere via industrial production with a rate of some 100 t year −1 (Staples et al, 1998). Sidhu et al (2005) estimated the emission of BPA to be over ~75,000 kg year −1 in the United States based on an uncontrolled domestic waste burning experiment. In addition, BPA could be emitted from the combustion of computer printed circuit boards in electronic waste (e-waste) (Owens Jr. et al, 2007) and from the spraying of paint (Peltonen and Pukkila, 1988).…”

“…A variety of chemicals, such as certain pesticides, herbicides, surfactants, plasticizers, flame retardants, and pharmaceuticals, can potentially act as EDCs. Those chemicals are commonly used in household and industrial products and can enter the environment through municipal and industrial wastewater discharges, agricultural runoff, solid-waste leaching, and garbage incineration (Campbell et al 2006;Kawagoshi et al 2003;Sidhu et al 2005). The occurrence of EDCs in the environment has been reported worldwide (Gong et al 2009;Mayer et al 2007;Pojana et al 2007;Yoon et al 2010), and increasing evidences have suggested possible adverse effects of EDCs to aquatic organisms even at environmentally relevant concentrations (Bahamonde et al 2014;Vajda et al 2011;Woodling et al 2006).…”

Occurrence of five endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)-bisphenol-A (BPA), triclosan (TCS), 17a-ethinyl estradiol (EE2), benzophenone-3, and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor-were monitored in East Lake, the largest urban lake in China. Other than EE2, all selected EDCs were detected at least once in the lake water with concentrations B89.1 ng/L. EDCs were detected with greater occurrence in spring than in other seasons. In lake sediment, TCS was detected at the greatest concentration (30.9 ng g -1 ), whereas BPA and EE2 were not detected. Spatial distribution of the EDCs in the lake water and the lake sediment showed similar patterns, and greater EDC residuals were found from those sites with known wastewater input. The linear adsorption coefficients (K d ) varied from 17.9 to 1,017 L kg -1 and were related to the octanolwater partition coefficient (K ow ) values of the compounds. Photodegradation was a major process removing the EDCs from the lake water, and the presence of dissolved organic material and NO 3 -in the lake water can accelerate the photodegradation process. Degradation of the EDCs in the lake sediment was relatively slow and occurred mainly due to the microbial processes. All compounds were found more persistent under anoxic conditions than under oxic conditions.

“…Compounds emitted by diesel engines exhibit various chemical structures, physicochemical properties, toxicities, and physiological effects. Some of these compounds are potential or known endocrine disruptors [7,8,9]. By mimicking or antagonizing naturally occurring hormones and/or by modulating hormonal responses, endocrine disruptors interfere with the normal functioning of endocrine systems in humans and animals and thereby lead to adverse health effects (reviewed in [10,11]).…”

An in vitro reporter gene assay based on human breast cancer T47D cells (ER-CALUX ® ) was applied to examine the ability of diesel exhaust to induce or inhibit estrogen receptor (ER)-mediated gene expression. Exhaust from a heavy-duty diesel engine was either treated by ironor copper/iron-catalyzed diesel particulate filters (DPFs) or studied as unfiltered exhaust. Collected samples included particle-bound and semivolatile constituents of diesel exhaust. Our findings show that all of the samples contained compounds that were able to induce ER-mediated gene expression as well as compounds that suppressed the activity of the endogenous hormone 17β-estradiol (E2). Estrogenic activity prevailed over antiestrogenic activity. We found an overall ER-mediated activity of 1.63±0.31 ng E2 CALUX equivalents (E2-CEQs) per m 3 of unfiltered exhaust. In filtered exhaust, we measured 0.74±0.07 (iron-catalyzed DPF) and 0.55±0.09 ng E2-CEQ m −3 (copper/iron-catalyzed DPF), corresponding to reductions in estrogenic activity of 55 and 66%, respectively. Our study demonstrates that both catalytic DPFs lowered the ER-mediated endocrine-disrupting potential of diesel exhaust.
