Bisphenol A, 4-tert-Octylphenol, and 4-Nonylphenol in The Gulf of Gdańsk (Southern Baltic)

摘要: The organic derivatives of phenol are classed as dangerous compounds, and their presence has been detected in surface water, bottom phytoplankton, zooplankton, mussel well liver muscle fish from the Gulf Gdansk liver, muscle, guano gulls residing coastal zone this basin. greatest sources bisphenol A (BPA), 4-tert-octylphenol (OP), 4-nonylphenol (NP) were found to be Vistula River water purification plant Debogorze. In living organisms, concentrations BPA, OP, NP ranged between limit quantification several hundred ng g−1 dry weight (dw), highest for BPA. Prolonged alimentary exposure birds was indicated by liver/muscle concentration ratios generally >1. most influential factors on BPA alkylphenol tissues fishes mainly diet habitat. study confirmed possible bioaccumulation food web. High (≤2,700 and ≤300 ng g−1 dw, respectively) ability detoxify signalled reintroduction these compounds seawater. Herring, flounder, cod Southern Baltic a safe source human consumption because contents low.
