“…BPA at other non-urban sites ranged from 0.01 to 0.05 ng m −3 , being 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than those in urban areas. Chen et al (2012) and Huang et al (2012) assessed the exposure of phthalates and bisphenol A in various environmental media in China, such as water, air and food, and found that the single effect of the compounds by intake from air are much lower than those from foods and water. However, airborne particulate EDCs are usually mixed with other pollutants and thus may have a synergistic effect with other toxic species.…”

“…At the present, around 100 of industrial chemicals are suspected as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) (Falconer et al, 2006;Rudel and Perovich, 2009). They can emit into the environment and contaminate air, water and soil, attracting much public attention in recent years (Chen et al, 2012;Fromme et al, 2013;Li et al, 2010;Pojana et al, 2007).…”

“…In contrast, EDCs in the atmosphere have not been given much attention. Although phthalates and bisphenol A in various environmental media in China were reported by a few researchers (Chen et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2006bWang et al, , 2008a, very few studies have investigated the temporal and spatial distributions of phthalates and bisphenol A in the atmosphere across the whole country. Our previous studies had reported over one hundred organic compounds in aerosols from mainland China and its surrounding regions (Li et al, 2013a(Li et al, , 2014Wang et al, 2006aWang et al, ,b, 2009b, but we didn't give much attention for those endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), especially for bisphenol A.…”

“…As PAEs are not chemically bound to the polymeric matrix in soft plastics, they can enter the environment by losses during manufacturing processes and by leaching or evaporating from final products [5]. Therefore, the occurrence and fate of specific PAEs in natural water environments have been observed, and also there are a lot of considerable controversies with respect to the safety of PAEs in water [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

The presence of phthalate esters (PAEs) in the environment has gained a considerable attention due to their potential impacts on public health. This study reports the first data on the occurrence of 15 PAEs in the water near the Mopanshan Reservoir-the new and important water source of Harbin city in Northeast China. As drinking water is a major source for human exposure to PAEs, the fate of target PAEs in the two waterworks (Mopanshan Waterworks and Seven Waterworks) was also analyzed. The results demonstrated that the total concentrations of 15 PAEs in the water near the Mopanshan Reservoir were relatively moderate, ranging from 355.8 to 9226.5 ng/L, with the mean value of 2943.1 ng/L. DBP and DEHP dominated the PAE concentrations, which ranged from 52.5 to 4498.2 ng/L and 128.9 to 6570.9 ng/L, respectively. The occurrence and concentrations of these compounds were heavily spatially dependent. Meanwhile, the results on the waterworks samples suggested no significant differences in PAE levels with the input of the raw waters. Without effective and stable removal of PAEs after the conventional drinking water treatment in the waterworks (25.8% to 76.5%), the risks posed by PAEs through drinking water ingestion were still existing, which should be paid special attention to the source control in the Mopanshan Reservoir and some advanced treatment processes for drinking water supplies.

“…Wang et al (2010) analyzed indoor exposure to PAEs. Chen et al (2012) assessed the exposure of non-occupational populations in China to phthalates; Pei et al (2013) reported on PAE concentrations in indoor air and dust in newly decorated houses. The status and characteristics of PAE pollution in hospitals remain unclear, and no research has simultaneously addressed gas and particle phase PAEs in indoor air within hospitals.…”

The concentrations of phthalate esters (PAEs) in Chinese hospitals were investigated by simultaneously determining concentrations of gas-and particle-phase PAEs. PAEs were detected in two third-class first-grade hospitals, two second-class first-grade hospitals, and a community health service center. Hospital drugstores had the highest concentration Meanwhile, a comparison between different wards showed that PAE concentrations in the maternity wards were 1.63 times higher than in the main wards. Based on known health hazards, our results suggest that the PAEs seriously influence the health of the pregnant women and babies; therefore, it is of great importance to take the phthalate concentrations in hospitals into consideration. In addition, hospital indoor air was more seriously contaminated than the air of newly decorated houses.
