“…Bisphenol A was also the predominant contaminant in effluent samples, accounting for 82% of the detected target analytes. Bisphenol A levels in these samples were lower than those reported in effluents from The Netherlands ( Vethaak et al 2005); however, they were fairly similar to those reported in China (Xu et al 2016).…”

The present study investigated the distribution and environmental fate of Bisphenol A (BPA), the 4‐hydroxyacetophenone (4‐HAP) metabolite, and 5 other bisphenol congeners in 2 municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and their receiving rivers in Romania. Accordingly, a new, highly sensitive and accurate solid‐phase extraction–liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated. This technique generated low limit of quantitation values: below 2.3 ng/L for surface water and less than 2.4 and 2.7 ng/L for WWTP effluent and influent water. The sum of detected analytes in wastewater was between 1337 and 16 118 ng/L for influent samples and between 15 and 96 ng/L for effluent samples. In surface water, the total of all compounds was somewhere between 34 and 240 ng/L. The highest concentration observed was for BPA in all 3 types of analyzed water (up to 9140 ng/L for influent, as high as 75 ng/L for effluent, and a maximum of 135 ng/L in surface waters). All analyzed samples were free of bisphenols B, C, and F. For all analytes detected in surface water, the concentration values were higher than those determined in the effluent samples, which may be caused by intrinsic contamination of the 2 rivers (Danube and Jiu Rivers). Values of environmental risk coefficients, calculated for both effluents and surface waters, indicated a low ecological risk or no ecological risk for 3 types of organisms (algae, daphnia, and fish). Human risk assessment calculation suggests no risk to human health as a result of the presence of BPA in either of the 2 rivers. Environ Toxicol Chem 2021;40:435–446. © 2020 SETAC

“…Food, indoor air, indoor dust, wastewater and dermal absorption are all important sources of human exposure to BPA (Vandenberg et al, 2007;Zalko et al, 2011). In addition, BPA is commonly found as a contaminant in wastewater, and may as such have deleterious effects on wildlife (Santos et al, 2016;Xu et al, 2016).…”

The high volume production compound bisphenol A (BPA) is of environmental concern largely because of its estrogenic activity. Consequently, BPA analogues have been synthesized to be considered as replacement molecules for BPA. These analogues need to be thoroughly evaluated for their estrogenic activity. Here, we combined mechanism zebrafish-based assays to examine estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activities of BPA and two of its analogues, bisphenol AF (BPAF) and bisphenol C (BPC) in vitro and in vivo. In vitro reporter cell lines were used to investigate agonistic and antagonistic effects of the three bisphenols on the three zebrafish estrogen receptors. The transgenic Tg(5×ERE:GFP) and Cyp19a1b-GFP zebrafish lines were then used to analyze estrogenic and anti-estrogenic responses of the three bisphenols in vivo. BPA, BPAF and BPC were agonists with different potencies for the three zebrafish estrogen receptors in vitro. The

“…Data in Table 2 were gathered from investigations conducted in various geographic locations, with varying PG inputs, and analysed according to well-established analytical techniques, despite the varying detection and quantification levels and accuracies. It is important to stress that some of the surveyed areas in Asia [38,46,47] are densely populated, which may explain the high amounts of PGs measured in surface waters. Therefore, the disparities between studies from distinct regions are not surprising, corresponding to a wide range of concentrations even when including the three compartments of surface waters, WWTP influents, and WWTP effluents.…”

Synthetic progestins (PGs) are a large family of hormones used in continuously growing amounts in human and animal contraception and medicinal therapies. Because wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are unable to eradicate PGs after excretion, they are discharged into aquatic systems, where they can also be regenerated from conjugated PG metabolites. This review summarises the concentrations of 12 PGs in waters from 2015 to 2021. The selected PGs were considered of particular interest due to their wide use, activity, and hormonal derivation (from testosterone, progesterone, and spirolactone). We concluded that PGs had been analysed in WWTPs influents and effluents and, to a lesser extent, in other matrices, including surface waters, where their concentrations range from ng/L to a few µg/L. Because of their high affinity for cell hormone receptors, PGs are endocrine disruptor compounds that may alter the reproductive fitness and development of biota. This review focused on their biological effects in fish, which are the most used aquatic model organisms to qualify the impacts of PGs, highlighting the risks that environmental concentrations pose to their health, fecundity, and fertility. It is concluded that PGs research should be expanded because of the still limited data on their environmental concentrations and effects.
