Eight kinds of microelements (Mn, Cu, Zn, Fe, Na, Co, Mg and K) in Dongjiang river sand were detected and analysed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry(FAAS). The method is simple and rapid with good precision and accuracy, and eliminates the interference effectively. The regression equation and the correlation coefficient were calculated. Correlation coefficients were 0.994-1.000. The samples were digested with HNO3-HF-H2O2. The results showed that Dongjiang river sand contained abundant microelements. The content order is Na>K>Fe>Mg>Mn>Zn>Co>Cu with Na being the highest and Cu the lowest. This paper provides useful evidence for studying the health care effect of Dongjiang river sand on human body.

As precursors of disinfection by-products (DBPs), sediment hydrophobic organic compounds (HPOCs) derived from six reservoirs along the Dongjiang River were chlorinated (Cl-WS) and then fractionated into two polar components (hydrophobic organic compounds (Cl-HOCs) and hydrophilic organic compounds (Cl-HICs)) by solid phase extraction. Based on Caco-2 cell exposure study, the genotoxicity of Cl-WS, Cl-HOCs and Cl-HICs was analyzed by reactive oxygen species (ROS) analysis, comet assay and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase assay. Protective effects of antioxidants (catalase, vitamin C and epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG)) on genotoxicity of the chlorinated samples were investigated.

Widespread occurrence of parabens in the environment has been documented, whereas little information is available about the occurrence and bioaccumulation of parabens in the aquatic biota. In this study, plants (n = 14), plankton (n = 20), and fish muscle (n = 89) samples were collected from Dongjiang River Basin and analyzed for nine parabens and two of their metabolites using ultra-high performance liquid chromatogram-tandem mass spectrometry. All the samples contained notable concentrations of parabens and the metabolites, and the total concentrations of parabens (Σp-PBs; sum of nine parent compounds) ranged from 0.

This study investigated geospatial distributions of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the waters of the Dongjiang River and their associations with anthropogenic activities. Fifteen EDCs, with total concentrations in the river water of 149-2525 ng/L were detected, with bisphenol-A, 4-nonylphenol, 4-tert-octylphenol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and methylparaben being the five predominant EDCs. The total estrogen concentration was high downstream and significantly correlated with the spatial distribution of urban land use, wastewater discharge, population, and gross domestic product, indicating human activities have increased estrogen levels and threatened ecological health.

p-Phenylenediamines (PPDs) and PPD-derived quinones (PPD-Qs) have been considered emerging pollutants recently. Their available data on sediment and sewage sludge are limited, especially the ecological risks. Here, typical PPDs and PPD-Qs were measured in the sludge of wastewater treatment plants and surface sediment of a developed river basin (including reservoirs, estuaries, and rivers) and deep-sea troughs.

Bisphenols, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), and bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE) are commonly used as raw materials or additives in the production of several industrial and consumer products. However, information regarding the occurrence and distribution of these industrial chemicals in freshwater ecosystem is limited. In this study, four bisphenols, six BADGEs, and three BFDGEs were determined in abiotic and biotic samples collected from the Dongjiang River basin in southern China.
