Global Assessment of Bisphenol A in the Environment

Dose-Response, Journal Year: 2015, Volume and Issue: 13(3)

Published: July 1, 2015

Because bisphenol A (BPA) is a high production volume chemical, we examined over 500 peer-reviewed studies to understand its global distribution in effluent discharges, surface waters, sewage sludge, biosolids, sediments, soils, air, wildlife, and humans. Bisphenol was largely reported from urban ecosystems Asia, Europe, North America; unfortunately, information lacking large geographic areas, megacities, developing countries. When sufficient data were available, probabilistic hazard assessments performed environmental quality concerns. Exceedances of Canadian Predicted No Effect Concentrations for aquatic life >50% effluents America but as 80% water reports Asia. Similarly, maximum concentrations BPA sediments Asia higher than Europe. mostly fish, ranged 0.2 13 000 ng/g. We observed 60% 40% exceedences median levels by the US Centers Disease Control Prevention's National Health Nutrition Examination Survey Europe respectively. These findings highlight utility coordinating sensing contaminants efforts through integration monitoring specimen banking identify regions implementation more robust assessment management programs.

Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care Products and Endocrine Disrupting Agents in the Environment – A Review

CLEAN - Soil Air Water, Journal Year: 2009, Volume and Issue: 37(4-5), P. 277 - 303

Published: April 1, 2009

Abstract In the last few years, concerns about environmental fate and behavior of synthetic organic chemicals for hygienic use detected in waters have increased. Several these compounds are used intensively, large volumes, persistent, bioactive exhibit bioaccumulation endocrine disrupting activity. Some pharmaceuticals, including analgesics, antibiotics, antiepilieptics, β‐blockers, blood‐lipid regulators contraceptives also potential to determine various physiologic responses aquatic organisms. Other (natural hormones several industrial household chemicals) able affect organisms receiving agents. A lack information still exists regarding impact associated with occurrence, ecotoxicological effects disruptors, pharmaceuticals personal care environment since were inventoried or regulated worldwide. some cases, there no legal requirements assess long‐term exposure low concentration chemicals. This may be because important classes not been studied detail up now due non‐availability suitable instrumental techniques analytical standards levels. Recently, appearance sophisticated tests monitoring contamination has revealed presence types contaminants at lower levels, down nanograms per liter. constitutes an tool development guidelines monitor and/or update compliance reports. The current survey aims combine from literature on products agents environment; as well treatment options their removal wastewaters.

Emerging contaminants in surface waters and their relevance for the production of drinking water in Europe

Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences, Journal Year: 2010, Volume and Issue: 7(4), P. 271 - 295

Published: Sept. 24, 2010

An increasing part of drinking water in Europe is prepared from surface water. At the same time, a growing number emerging contaminants being discovered This review provides an overview classes nowadays detected aquatic environment that are relevance for production. These comprise e.g. endocrine disrupting compounds, such as hormones and compounds with hormone-like properties, pharmaceuticals, illicit non-controlled drugs, sweeteners, personal care products, complexing agents, nanoparticles, perfluorinated flame retardants, pesticides, fuel additives. The individual observed concentrations generally considered too low to cause acute effects. Nevertheless, health effects due long-term exposure mixture all kinds cannot be excluded current knowledge. Moreover, contamination man-made substances unwanted principle. precautionary principle used motivate prevention emission into preferred approach safeguard sustainable In mean extensive monitoring sources development application advanced treatment techniques prepare safe
