Toxic phenolic compounds in the Egyptian coastal waters of Alexandria:spatial distribution,source identification,and ecological risk assessment
ABSTRACT Poor published data are available for the detections of toxic phenolic compounds in the Egyptian Mediterranean Coast. Seasonal and spatial distributions of eight driven toxic phenolic compounds in coastal waters of Alexandria from ten different locations, situated between Abu Qir bay and Eastern Harbor during July, December (2018), and February, April (2019), were investigated to determine contamination status, possible sources, and ecological risks in the study area. For that purpose, a method was optimized for derivatization and detection of methylphenols, chlorophenols, and nitrophenols in water samples using GC-MS. This analytical method was validated using matrix spikes, indicating detection limits (0.02–0.5 µg/ml) and good recoveries (70–120%). Ranges of phenol concentrations in water samples were as follows: phenol (
