“…The concentration of EDCs in the water phase of Taihu Lake was compared with that at home and abroad, see Table S6 for as an example, which is lower than that in Yangtze River (Nanjing section) (nd-563 ng/L) [39], Pearl River (4-377 ng/L) [42], Liaohe River (12.3-755.6 ng/L) [43], slightly higher than that in Yellow River (12.5-171.5 ng/L) [44], and the same concentration level as Chaohu Lake (7.3-224.9 ng/L) [18].…”

“…There are many chemical plants along the main river flowing into Zhushan Bay (S3), about 26000 tons of BPA are put into use as raw materials or standby materials every year, and the industrial wastewater discharged into the river by the chemical plant can reach 23400000 tons every year. Liu et al [18] measured the EDCs in the tributary water of Taihu Lake, and found that the concentration of industrial compounds detected in Caohe was the highest (1380 ng/ L), which increased the concentration of S1 after flowing into Taihu Lake. S4 is located near Lihu bridge.…”

“…Jia et al [17] has shown that the native water samples from Taihu lake shows estrogenic activity in the laboratory and produces endocrine disorders on organisms indicating the existence of EDCs pollution in Taihu lake. Several EDCs including E1, E2, E3, and BPA has been investigated in the Taihu Lake [5,[18][19], with the highest detected concentration up to 194 ng/L for BPA. It is of utmost importance to investigate the occurrence and distribution of multi-class EDCs in the Taihu lake.…”

Background: The successful application of Fish plasma model (FPM) will greatly simplify the risk assessment of drugs. At present, the FPM has been applied to the risk assessment of several human drugs with high hydrophobicity. However, its applicability to a wide variety of compounds needs to be tested. Filed work about distribution characteristics of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in water and in fish plasma plays a key role in promoting the successful application of FPM. However, there are few reports on the distribution of EDCs in fish, especially in wild fish plasma. Results: The distribution of 31 EDCs, including seven estrogens, eight androgens, six progesterones, five glucocorticoids, and five industrial compounds, in water and plasma of five categories of wild fishes in Taihu Lake was studied and the typical FPM was tested by the field data. The detected concentration of most compounds is relatively low (< 10 ng/L), and the industrial compounds are the predominant pollutants with the highest concentration up to 291.7 ng/L (Bisphenol A) in water. In general, glucocorticoids were detected at the highest concentrations in plasma of all kinds of fishes, followed by industrial compounds and estrogens. Except for glucocorticoids (up to 43.61 for Cortisone), the average concentrations of the other four categories of EDCs in fish plasma were generally low (< 10 μg/L). The available measured bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) of 20 kinds of EDCs were in the range of 0 to 5626. The bioaccumulation of EDCs in fish plasma is not only hydrophobicity dependent, and it is both fish species-specific and compound-dependent. The classical FPM was tested and the results indicated that the good coincides of measured log BAFs and the theoretical log BCFs was only observed for limited EDCs (7 out of 20). The present available FPM generally underestimated the Log BAFs of most hydrophilic EDCs (log Kow <3.87, 11 out of 20) whereas overestimated the Log BAFs of several high hydrophobic EDCs (Log Kow >3.87) in fish plasma. Conclusion：Although the present FPM is barely satisfactory, it is still promising for predicting the accumulation of EDCs in fish plasma and for further environmental risk assessment.

“…The PNEC values were obtained as HC5/AF, where HC5 is the pollutant's hazardous concentration at which 95% of the species can be protected. The values of HC5 for 4NP, 4-t-OP, BPA, E 2 and EE 2 were 1.43 µg L −1 , 35 µg L −1 , 6.82 ng L −1 , 4.91 µg L −1 and 0.1 ng L −1 , respectively, and the AF is the assessment value, which was set to 3 [37][38][39][40].…”

In this study, two hormones 17β-estradiol (E 2 ) and 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE 2 ), and three phenolic compounds, bisphenol A (BPA), 4-N-nonylphenol (4-NP) and 4-tert-octylphenol (4-t-OP), were determined in surface water in the Cuautla River at the State of Morelos during the dry-season in Mexico. The endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) were extracted from water samples using solid-phase extraction (SPE) with end-capped C 18 , and then the extracts were chemically derivatized to TMS (trimethylsylane)-compounds and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GCMS). The most abundant compound was BPA (22.46 ± 30.17 ng L −1 ), followed by 4-t-OP (11.24 ± 11.76 ng L −1 ), 4-NP (7.53 ± 14.88 ng L −1 ), EE 2 (2.37 ± 4.36 ng L −1 ) and E 2 (0.97 ± 1.82 ng L −1 ). The residual amounts of target compounds could either reach stream surface water from direct domestic wastewater discharges, conventional wastewater treatment plant or can be a result from the use of agrochemicals in crop areas. The EDCs in Cuautla River exerted a high pressure on the aquatic ecosystem because their presences in surface water caused medium and high potential ecological risk. Besides, it was found that aquatic organisms were exposed to estrogenic activity.

“…Among them, BPAF was the predominant BP with the mean concentration of 46.7 ng/g, followed by BPA (38.8 ng/g), BPS (12.4 ng/g) and BPF (2.10 ng/g). The concentrations of BPA in SPM from Taihu Lake basin ranged from ND to 877 ng/g dw (mean concentration 76.8 ng/g dw) [25], which were comparable to that of our study, but much lower than that from the Yangtze River (Nanjing section), ranged from ND to 364 µg/g (mean concentration 51.8 µg/g) [18]. However, little research was focus on the residues of other BPs in SPM phase.…”

b Engineering innovation center of land ecological monitoring and remediation, ministry of natural resources, Geological Survey of Jiangsu Province, Abstract: Owing to the widespread use of bisphenol analogues (BPs) as bisphenol A (BPA) alternatives, they have been recognized to constitute a health risk for aquatic ecosystems. The occurrence and distribution of six BPs were investigated in the truly dissolved phase (< 5 kDa), colloidal phase (5 kDa to 1 µm) and suspended particulate matter (SPM > 1 µm) in a water diversion project of Nanjing, China. With the exception of bisphenol Z, all BPs were detected in at least two phases, the total concentrations of detected BPs were 161-613 ng/L, 5.19-77.2 ng/L and 47.5-353 ng/g for the truly dissolved phase, colloidal phase and SPM, respectively. Among the detected compounds, BPA still the dominant BPs in the truly dissolved phase and colloidal phase, followed by BPS, while BPAF was the major contaminant in SPM, followed by BPA. The mean contribution proportions of colloids were 1-2 orders of magnitude greater than that of SPM, suggesting that colloids play an important role in regulating the environmental behaviors of BPs. In terms of spatial distribution, although the water diversion project could reduce the pollution levels of BPs, which might further affect the ecological security of the Yangtze River.
