Occurrence, mass loads and risks of bisphenol analogues in the Pearl River Delta region, South China: Urban rainfall runoff as a potential source for receiving rivers

Multi-parameter risk assessment of forty-one selected substances with endocrine disruptive properties in surface waters worldwide

“…Because of this, EDs are labeled as "pseudo-persistent" (Mackay et al, 2014). The main source of their entry into the aquatic environment is via incorrect medicine disposal, wastewater treatment plants, agriculture, run-offs, veterinary use, hospitals, and industrial manufacturing sites (Carraro et al, 2018;Gadipelly et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2018;Huang et al, 2020;Felis et al, 2020).…”

An Assessment of Mass Flows, Removal and Environmental Emissions of Bisphenols in a Sequencing Batch Reactor Wastewater Treatment Plant

“…For instance, only Huang et al (2021) [ 7 ], Sun et al (2017) [ 8 ] and Xue and Kannan (2019) [ 9 ] have investigated the fate of BPs during different stages of WW treatment. Huang et al (2020) [ 10 ] report the presence of BPA, BPAF, BPE, BPF, BPS, BPB, BPZ, BPAP, BPP, BPBP, BPC, BPG, BPPH and BPTMC of up to 4537 ng L −1 (total) in influent, up to 569 ng L −1 in effluent and up to 878 ng g −1 in sludge. The most common BPs in influent, effluent and sludge at the highest concentrations were BPA, BPS and BPF.…”

“…The most common BPs in influent, effluent and sludge at the highest concentrations were BPA, BPS and BPF. Except for Xue and Kannan (2019) [ 9 ], where the removal of BPA, BPF and BPS in two WWTPs was ≤29%, most authors report >87% removal of BPs from WW [ 10 ]. According to Hu et al (2019) [ 11 ], the main removal mechanisms are biodegradation and adsorption.…”

Bisphenol AF Promoted the Growth of Uterus and Activated Estrogen Signaling Related Targets in Various Tissues of Nude Mice with SK-BR-3 Xenograft Tumor

“…Bisphenol AF (BPAF), as an alternative substitute of bisphenol A (BPA), has been widely applied to produce a variety of everyday household items and its global usage is estimated to increase in the next few years [ 1 ]. BPAF had been found in different environmental medium [ 2 , 3 , 4 ] with detection rate similar to BPA [ 5 ] and exists extensive exposure to human body by different pathways [ 6 , 7 ].…”
