Monitoring of environmental phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds in treatment effluents and river waters, Korea

The last two decades have witnessed growing scientific and public concerns over endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) that have the potential to alter the normal structure or functions of the endocrine system in wildlife and humans. In this study, the phenolic EDCs such as alkylphenol, chlorinated phenol and bisphenol A were considered. They are commonly found in wastewater discharges and in sewage treatment plant. In order to monitor the levels and seasonal variations of phenolic EDCs in various aquatic environments, a total of 15 water samples from the discharged effluent from sewage and wastewater treatment plants and river water were collected for 3 years. Ten environmental phenolic EDCs were determined by GC-MS and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). GC-MS analysis revealed that most abundant phenolic EDCs were 4-n-heptylphenol, followed by nonlyphenol and bisphenol A during 2002-2003, while 4-t-butylphenol and 4-t-octylphenol were newly detected in aquatic environments in 2004.The category of phenolic EDCs showed similar fluorescence spectra and nearly equal fluorescence decay time. This makes it hard to distinguish each phenolic EDC from the EDCs mixture by LIF. Therefore, the results obtained from LIF analysis were expressed in terms of the fluorescence intensity of the total phenolic EDCs rather than that of the individual EDC. However, LIF monitoring and GC-MS analysis showed consistent result in that the river water samples had lower phenolic EDCs concentration compared to the effluent sample. This revealed a lower fluorescence intensity and the phenolic EDCs concentration in summer was lower than that in winter. For the validation of LIF monitoring for the phenolic EDCs, the correlation between EDCs concentration acquired from GC-MS and fluorescence intensity from LIF was obtained (R = 0.7379). This study supports the feasibility of the application of LIF into EDCs monitoring in aquatic systems.     

Determination of endocrine disrupting chemicals in environmental solid matrices by extraction with a non-ionic surfactant (Tween 80)

A readily applicable method based on extraction by aqueous non-ionic surfactant solutions (Tween 80) and RP-HPLC coupled to fluorescence detection, has been developed for the simultaneous determination of the phenolic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) nonylphenol (NP), nonylphenol monoethoxylate (NP1EO) and nonylphenol diethoxylate (NP2EO) and bisphenol A (BPA) in environmental solid matrices. Clean up of sample extracts was performed on Si-C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. The overall Tween 80 extraction-SPE-RP-HPLC procedure was validated for accuracy and precision by analyzing sediment samples spiked with known amounts of EDCs. Recoveries for NP, NP1EO, NP2EO and BPA and limits of detection are in agreement with conventional extraction methods. The developed methodology was successfully applied to the analysis of target compounds in Italian river sediments, river suspended matter and benthonic macroinvertebrate organisms (oligochaetes Lumbriculus variegatus). Results confirmed that this relatively simple procedure performed satisfactorily in the determination of phenolic EDCs in environmental solid matrices of different complexity and that it can be a suitable alternative method to conventional systems even for routine analyses.

Trends in sensitive electrochemical sensors for endocrine disruptive compounds

The endocrine system that provides communication and maintains homeostasis, is an important part of the body. Any defects or disruptions that affect the endocrine system may cause serious problems in the actions and functions of the body. Endocrine disruptive chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous chemicals or mixtures of chemicals that affects normal functions of the endocrine system by interfering with endogenous hormones and hormonal pathways and disrupting homeostasis. Numerous compounds are considered as endocrine disruptors such as bisphenols (BPs), phthalates, pesticides etc. and they are widely used for industrial purposes in many commercial products. Therefore, human exposure is almost inevitable. Besides that, EDCs may cause environmental pollution and are found in surface waters, wastewater, soil etc. To prevent exposure and hazardous effect, there are legislative regulations including restrictions and prohibitions of the use of EDCs. Due to these reasons; it is crucial to develop highly sensitive, low-cost, easy-to-use, and rapid sensors for the determination of EDCs in commercial and environmental samples. Although there are mostly chromatographic and spectrometric methods for the EDCs monitoring, electrochemistry surpasses them with advantageous properties such as easy application procedure, high sensitivity, very low limit of detection (LOD) values and low-cost.In this review, major groups of EDCs will be explained with their recent and novel electrochemical sensor applications for their detection in commercial and environmental samples.

Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines

Steroid 5-α reductase (5AR) is responsible for the reduction of steroids to 5-α reduced metabolites, such as the reduction of testosterone to 5-α dihydrotestosterone (DHT). A new adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for 5AR inhibition to reduce female reproduction in fish (AOP 289) is under development to clarify the antiestrogenic effects of 5AR inhibitors in female fish. A sensitive method for the DHT analysis using chemical derivatization and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry was developed. A cell-based 5AR inhibition assay that utilizes human cell lines, a transient overexpression system, and fish cell lines was developed. The measured IC₅₀ values of two well-known 5AR inhibitors, finasteride and dutasteride, were comparable in the different systems. However, the IC₅₀ of dutasteride in the fish cell lines was lower than that in the human cell lines. Finasteride showed a higher IC₅₀ against the RTG-2 cell line. These results demonstrated that 5ARs inhibition could differ in terms of structural characteristics among species. The assay has high sensitivity and reproducibility and is suitable for the application in 5AR inhibition screening for various endocrine disruption chemicals (EDCs). Future studies will continue to evaluate the quantitative inhibition of 5AR by EDCs to compare the endocrine-disrupting pathway in different species.     

Characterization of paint samples used in drinking water reservoirs: identification of endocrine disruptor compounds

Several migration tests are performed from various epoxy paint samples that, according to the regulation, can be used in food reservoirs such as drinking water reservoirs. The level of the organic compounds capable of producing migrations to water with special attention to endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) are identified and estimated by closed loop-stripping analysis (CLSA) and liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) methods coupled with gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS). Bisphenol A, a strong endocrine disruptor, is found in all migration experiments. Its concentration level reaches between 0.02 and 0.03 mg/cm2. The higher concentration corresponds with benzylic alcohol, which is used as a solvent and curing agent in epoxy paint. Other EDCs identified in the migration tests are phthalates, 4-nonylphenol, and t-butylphenol. The main non-EDCs identified are solvents, antioxidants, and rubber-like compounds. No great differences are found in the use of metallic plates or concrete slabs for migration experiments; only additional compounds related with the pretreatment of the concrete wall have been identified, too. In the study of a drinking water sample the same organic compounds identified in the migration test is not seen. This is probably because of the dynamic situation in a drinking water reservoir. Finally, a GC profile of a direct epoxy paint analysis is shown. The main peak identified is bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, monomer, and an active principle of the polymerization of epoxy resins based on bisphenol A. In addition, we report the recoveries of a selected group of EDCs using CLSA and LLE methods coupled with GC-MS.
