Article Synopsis
- - Nonylphenol (NP) is an environmental endocrine disruptor, with its bioavailability and biodegradability studied in the contaminated sediment of a tributary of the Ebro River, Spain.
- - The study showed that over 95% of NP quickly desorbed into the water and that aerobic biodegradation effectively reduced both NP concentration and its estrogenic activity by 97% and 94%, respectively.
- - The findings suggest that NP can serve as an indicator for monitoring estrogenic activity in sediment, while also indicating that other estrogenic compounds may be present, warranting further examination in different river sediments.
