Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is one of the most widely applied brominated flame retardants and has been widely detected in water environment, which might pose risks of brominated disinfection by-products formation in water treatment system. Ferrate(VI)-CaSO (Fe(VI)-CaSO) system could effectively degrade TBBPA at pH 7.0-9.0 but the decomposition rate of TBBPA dropped with increasing pH. The presence of 0.5 mg C/L humic acid (HA) had negligible impact on TBBPA removal, but the removal of TBBPA decreased to ~87% and 80% at pH 7.0 and 8.0, respectively, in the presence of 5.0 mg C/L HA. The transformation products of TBBPA detected in Fe(VI)-CaSO process revealed that TBBPA degradation mainly proceeded via electron abstraction, debromination, and ring-opening pathways and Br was released. In the presence of TBBPA, Fe(VI)-CaSO pre-oxidation decreased the generation of all determined DBPs during chlorination at pH 8.0 but it lessened the generation of some DBPs and slightly increased the formation of the other DBPs at pH 7.0. The toxic risk analysis showed that Fe(VI)-CaSO pre-oxidation of TBBPA could reduce the toxic risk of DBPs in both synthetic water and natural water at pH 8.0, indicating that Fe(VI)-CaSO process has the potential to be applied in practical water treatment.

Combining piezocatalysts with mechanical ball milling for dissociating water to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH) offers unprecedented opportunities for energy conversion and environmental remediation. However, the in-depth insights into the relationship between water and local polarization piezoelectric electric field (LPPEF) are currently lacking, in particularly, the ·OH formation mechanism in ball milling driven piezocatalyst system is not systematically elucidated. To this end, the present work constructs a ball milling driven piezoelectric solid/liquid interface between piezoelectric PbBOCl (PBOC) and different contents of water to investigate LPPEF initiated catalytic reaction.

Based on the third Chinese National Human Milk Survey (NHMS) conducted in 2016-2019, three typical legacy brominated flame retardants (BFRs), namely decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), and hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs, sum of three isomers), were measured in 100 pooled human milk samples collected from 24 provinces across China. The median concentrations of BDE-209, TBBPA and HBCDDs were 0.27, 0.

As emerging pollutants, bisphenol A (BPA), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and its analogs have become widespread in the coastal environment of China. To investigate the occurrence of these novel contaminants in Chinese marginal sea, 176 seawater and 88 sediment samples were collected from the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. In seawater and sediment, the detection rates of TBBPA are 83.

Hundreds of new flame retardants (NFRs) are widely used, causing environmental pollution and threating human health. In this study, based on the interaction of NFRs and human serum albumin (HSA), we assessed the differences in potential human accumulation of 8 NFRs including 1,2-Dibromo-4-(1,2-dibromoethyl)cyclohexane (TBECH), tetrabromobisphenol A bis(dibromopropyl ether) (TBBPA-DBPE), 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP), pentabromophenol (PBP), tri-n-butyl phosphate (TnBP), triphenyl phosphate (TPP), Tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), and Tri(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCP). All NFRs could bind to HSA and cause slight damage to its structure, suggesting their potential human accumulation ability.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of Bisphenol A (BPA) and Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) on the dynamics of biological membranes, focusing on how these persistent organic pollutants impact myeloid cell lines.
- It was found that TBBPA specifically disrupts the plasma membrane's biophysical homeostasis, increasing mobility and decreasing order, while BPA showed no significant effects.
- The findings highlight TBBPA's potential to impair immune function, emphasizing the environmental toxicity concerns associated with persistent organic pollutants.
