A Review on the Water Quality Criteria of Nonylphenol and the Methodological Construction for Reproduction Toxicity Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals

A QSAR–ICE–SSD model prediction of the PNECs for alkylphenol substances and application in ecological risk assessment for rivers of a megacity

“…The chronic HC 5 value was 0.77 μg/L and the final PNEC value was 0.38 μg/L of nonylphenol in this study. The PNEC was approximately 18 times lower than the criteria continuous concentration value of 6.59 μg/L derived by US EPA, and slightly higher than the water quality criteria value of 0.33 μg/L formulated by EU but in the same order of magnitude ( Hong et al, 2022 ). In addition, some researchers have also studied water quality criteria or risk assessment of NP based different toxicity effect endpoints ( Gao et al, 2015 ; Jin et al, 2014 ; Lei et al, 2012 ; Zhang et al, 2017a ), which was close to the PNEC value obtained in this study.…”

“…The ubiquitous occurrence of APs in aquatic environments has led to an emerging concern for their synergistic effect ( Crini et al, 2022 ; Meijer et al, 2021 ). The adverse impacts of APs on endocrine- disrupting effects, especially 4-OP and 4-NP had been reported in the previous studies ( Hong et al, 2020 ; Hong et al, 2022 ), and the potencies were relatively low compared to those of natural and synthetic estrogens ( Barber et al, 2022 ; Li et al, 2019 ). The potential risks of APs in natural water bodies are complex and should be comprehensively assessed.…”

Freshwater Water-Quality Criteria for Chloride and Guidance for the Revision of the Water-Quality Standard in China

“…In the cases of different endpoints for the same species, the most sensitive endpoints were selected. In addition, if multiple toxicity values were available for the same endpoint and species, their geometric mean was calculated [12,13].…”

“…Water-quality criteria (WQC) refer to the highest acceptable concentration or level of pollutants or harmful factors in the water environment, above which the pollutant will have adverse effects on human health, aquatic ecosystems, and their useful functions [6][7][8][9][10]. The objective of WQC is to protect commercially and recreationally important aquatic organisms and other important species, such as fish, invertebrates, and plankton, from the adverse effects caused by short-term exposure to high concentrations or long-term exposure to low concentrations of pollutants [11][12][13]. Environmental protection standards provide an important basis and criteria for environmental law enforcement and management, and the scientificity and rationality of their formulation process directly affect the effect of environmental management and environmental law enforcement [14].…”

Сomparison of Au, Au-Pt, and Au-Ag nanoparticles as markers for immunochromatographic determination of nonylphenol

“…Nonylphenol (NP) is a surfactant widely used in everyday life as the main component of detergents. With contaminated wastewater, they enter water bodies and soil and spread through the food chains of ecosystems, which leads to a negative impact on human health [13]. The determination of surfactants in environmental objects is mainly carried out by instrumental chromatographic methods [14], which are characterized by laboriousness, high cost and significant analysis time.…”
