“…TBBPA is known to be highly lipophilic, which enhances its easy accumulation in fat. Moreover, the potential of TBBPA to accumulate in water [ 21 , 22 ], accounts for its concentration measured in cephalopods and fish [ 18 ]. These findings are alarming since, in addition to TBBPA being prevalent in the environment, their presence in food samples leads to human exposure, which has detrimental consequences.…”

“…TBBPA-based products are not the only sources of TBBPA in the aquatic environment but also through effluents from landfill sites and wastewater treatment plants. TBBPA is harmful to a wide range of aquatic organisms and can threaten their reproduction, development, and survival even at relatively lower concentrations [ 21 ]. Nevertheless, in China, TBBPA concentrations in the aquatic environment were compiled, and the results were substantially below the limits, as the Chinese criterion maximum concentration (CMC) is 0.1475 mg/L and the criterion continuous concentration (CCC) is 0.0126 mg/L for aquatic exposure [ 118 ].…”

A Review on Tetrabromobisphenol A: Human Biomonitoring, Toxicity, Detection and Treatment in the Environment

et al. 2023

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a known endocrine disruptor employed in a range of consumer products and has been predominantly found in different environments through industrial processes and in human samples. In this review, we aimed to summarize published scientific evidence on human biomonitoring, toxic effects and mode of action of TBBPA in humans. Interestingly, an overview of various pretreatment methods, emerging detection methods, and treatment methods was elucidated. Studies on exposure routes in humans, a combination of detection methods, adsorbent-based treatments and degradation of TBBPA are in the preliminary phase and have several limitations. Therefore, in-depth studies on these subjects should be considered to enhance the accurate body load of non-invasive matrix, external exposure levels, optimal design of combined detection techniques, and degrading technology of TBBPA. Overall, this review will improve the scientific comprehension of TBBPA in humans as well as the environment, and the breakthrough for treating waste products containing TBBPA.

“…In the 1980s, HBCD was detected in air, sludge and sediment in Sweden [ 1 ]. Since then, many researchers in other countries have also confirmed the widespread presence of HBCD in soils [ 2 ], outdoor air [ 3 , 4 ], seawater [ 5 ], and house dust [ 6 ]. Also, HBCD has been detected in arctic regions [ 7 ] and breast milk [ 8 ].…”

Determination of Hexabromocyclododecane in Expanded Polystyrene and Extruded Polystyrene Foam by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

et al. 2021

A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method for the determination of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) in expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene foam (EPS/XPS) was developed. The EPS/XPS samples were ultrasonically extracted with acetone and the extracts were purified by filtration through a microporous membrane (0.22 μm) and solid-phase extraction. The samples were analyzed using a GC/MS using the selected ion monitoring mode. The ions 157, 319 and 401 were selected as the qualitative ions, while ion 239 was chosen as the quantitative ion. An HBCD standard working solution with a concentration range of 1.0–50.0 mg/L showed good linearity. The detection limit of HBCD was 0.5 mg/kg, meeting the LPC limit (<100 or 1000 mg/kg). Six laboratories were selected to verify the accuracy of the method, and 10 samples were tested. The interlaboratory relative standard deviation range was 3.68–9.80%. This method could play an important role in controlling HBCD contamination in EPS/XPS.

“…The review of the presence of TBBPA in different experiments showed that in freshwater environments it remains below 4.8 µg/L and in sediment samples below 480 ng/g dw, but in industrial and e-waste areas these values can be higher (e.g., 9750 ng/g dw)(Liu et al 2016). Moreover, it is known that this compound has the capacity to accumulate in different tissues of aquatic biota(Harrad et al 2009;Gong et al 2021) and was a concern regarding its effects in long exposure.For SMX, P. longiseta was more sensitive (EC10 of 52.1 µg/L) when compared to the alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (EC10 of 150 µg/L); the microcrustacean Ceriodaphnia dubia (EC10 of 250 µg/L) and the cnidarian Hydra attenuata (EC10 of 5000 µg/L)(Straub, 2015). Comparatively, the reproduction of the naidid P. longiseta was more sensitive to SMX when compared to the species studied byStraub et al (2015), which may be an indication that the reproduction of species of the Oligochaeta class is more susceptible to inhibition when exposed to antibiotic SMX in an environmentally relevant concentration.…”

Aquatic worms are considered a suitable group to evaluate the effects of contaminants in the environment, although one of the main challenges is using native species. Recently, Pristina longiseta was suggested to be used in acute bioassays for tropical regions. In this context, the aim of this study was to establish a chronic exposure for ecotoxicological bioassays utilizing the tropical native species P. longiseta. Firstly, we tested three exposure times (96h, 7d, and 10d) in the presence and absence of aeration. After determining the best con guration, we evaluated the effects of the chronic exposures using the standardized reference substance potassium chloride, the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole, the ame retardant tetrabromobisphenol-A, and sugarcane vinasse. Our results showed the suitability for applying the chronic exposure using P. longiseta and indicated the sensitivity of the offspring to KCl (EC50 = 0.51 g/L). Sulfamethoxazole and TBBPA caused a signi cant reduction in the offspring of P. longiseta (EC50 = 59.9 µg/L and 166.1 µg/L, respectively). Sugarcane vinasse showed high toxicity for the species, and a fraction of 4.26% of vinasse was calculated as EC50. Therefore, the described protocol was successfully applied as an ecotoxicological assessment to evaluate the effects of contaminants on the reproduction rate of the freshwater worm P. longiseta.
