Título: | Priority and emerging flame retardants in rivers: Occurrence in water and sediment, Daphnia magna toxicity and risk assessment |
Autor: | Cristale, Joyce CSIC ORCID; García Vázquez, Alejandro; Barata Martí, Carlos CSIC ORCID ; Lacorte Bruguera, Silvia CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 2013 | Editor: | Pergamon Press | Citación: | Environmental International 59: 232- 243 (2013) | Resumen: | The occurrence, partitioning and risk of eight polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), nine new brominated (NBFRs) and ten organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) were evaluated in three Spanish rivers suffering different anthropogenic pressures (Nalón, Arga and Besòs). OPFRs were ubiquitous contaminants in water (σOPFRs ranging from 0.0076 to 7.2μgL-1) and sediments (σOPFRs ranging 3.8 to 824μgkg-1). Brominated flame retardants were not detected in waters, whereas σPBDEs ranged from 88 to 812μgkg-1 and decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) reached 435μgkg-1 in sediments from the River Besòs, the most impacted river. The occurrence of flame retardants in river water and sediment was clearly associated with human activities, since the highest levels occurred near urban and industrial zones and after wastewater treatment plants discharge. Daphnia magna toxicity was carried out for OPFRs, the most ubiquitous flame retardants, considering individual compounds and mixtures. Toxicity of nine tested OPFRs differed largely among compounds, with EC50 values ranging over three magnitude orders (0.31-381mgL-1). Results evidenced that these compounds act by non-polar narcosis, since their toxicity was proportional to their lipophilicity (Kow). Furthermore, their joint toxicity was additive, which means that single and joint toxicity can be predicted knowing their concentration levels in water using quantitative structure activity relationships (QSARs) and predictive mixture models. Based on these results, a risk assessment considering joint effect was performed calculating and summing risk quotients (RQs) for the water and sediment samples. No significant risk to D. magna (σRQs <1) was observed for any of the monitored rivers. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2013.06.011 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/218150 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.envint.2013.06.011 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2013.06.011 issn: 0160-4120 |
