Occurrence and risk assessment of parabens and triclosan in surface waters of southern Brazil: a problem of emerging compounds in an emerging country

Abstract: Parabens and triclosan compounds are widely used in pharmaceutical products, personal care, food and various products of daily use. After use, the final destinations of these contaminants are domestic effluents and the environment if not collected or treated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of parabens and triclosan in environments in a subtropical region, more specifically in the metropolitan region of Curitiba (southern Brazil) and possible effects of these compounds in aquatic envir… Show more

“…However, similar maximum concentrations were found in surface waters from Spain, 63 Costa Rica 64 and Brazil. 65 Higher maximum levels of triclosan were observed by dos Santos et al, 66 which investigated different rivers form the upper Iguaçu River Basin, in Brazil. Concentrations up to 415 ng L -1 were attributed to aspects such as direct raw sewage discharges into receiving waters, illegal sewer connections into pluvial drainage systems and inefficient removal at sewage treatment plants.…”

“…De fato, os estudos demonstraram que entre os derivados do PHBA, o metilparabeno (MeP) é a forma mais predominante encontrada no meio ambiente. Santos et al, 2016, por exemplo, avaliaram a presença de parabenos e triclosan em águas superificiais na região sul do Brasil, onde foram observadas elevadas concentrações, em especial do metilparabeno, atingindo concentração de até 2875 ng/L. Li et al, 2016, desenvolveram um estudo similiar para verificar a ocorrência e distribuição temporal de parabenos, parabenos clorados e PHBA em águas de superficie numa bacia hidrográfica urbana na cidade de Pequim, na China.…”
