Abstract

This study investigates the dispersion of bisphenol analogues (BPs) in the waters of Bohai Bay and evaluates their ecological danger. A comprehensive analysis shows that there are seven different types of BPs, including bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol AF (BPAF) and bisphenol S (BPS), in water samples collected from Bohai Bay between 2020 and 2024. Although there are regulations in place for the manufacturing and use of BPA in China, it remains prevalent. The investigation demonstrated that the concentrations of BPA in Bohai Bay varied between 51.48 and 220.61 ng/L. The mean value was 136.84 ng/L. The levels of BPF and BPS were the second highest, although still much lower than those of BPA. The ecological danger in the waters of Bohai Bay was assessed using the Risk Quotient (RQ) approach. The findings revealed that the RQ value of BPs was less than 0.1, suggesting a low ecological risk. However, the yearly average levels of BPs showed a rising pattern, indicating the collective impact of industrial activity, agricultural output, and municipal wastewater discharges. Hence, it is advisable to devise and execute efficient strategies to regulate pollution, aiming to diminish the release and ecological buildup of BPs in Bohai Bay. The aim is to protect the environment and human health.

双酚类化合物对生态和能源领域的影响——以渤海湾海水为例

研究了双酚类似物（BPs）在渤海湾水域的分布状况，并对其生态危害进行了评价。综合分析表明，2020 - 2024年渤海湾水样中存在双酚A （BPA）、双酚F （BPF）、双酚AF （BPAF）和双酚S (BPs) 7种不同类型的bp。尽管中国对双酚a的生产和使用有相应的规定，但它仍然很普遍。调查结果表明，渤海湾地区BPA浓度在51.48 ~ 220.61 ng/L之间。平均值为136.84 ng/L。BPF和BPS的水平是第二高的，尽管仍然比BPA低得多。采用风险商（RQ）法评价了渤海湾海域的生态危险性。结果表明，bp的RQ值小于0.1，生态风险较低。然而，bp的年平均水平呈上升趋势，表明工业活动、农业产出和城市污水排放的集体影响。因此，建议制定和实施有效的污染治理策略，以减少渤海湾bp的排放和生态积累。其目的是保护环境和人类健康。
