AI Article Synopsis
- Bisphenol analogues are commonly found in the environment due to widespread use and poor processing methods, raising concerns about health and environmental risks.
- The study utilized solid phase extraction and LC-MS/MS to analyze bisphenol levels in surface water from Port Dickson and Lukut, finding concentrations ranging from 1.32 ng/L to 1890.51 ng/L.
- The results indicated that BPF had the highest mean concentration of 1143.88 ng/L, posing the greatest risk, while BPA and BPS showed lower concentrations and risks, highlighting potential future water quality issues.
Article Abstract
Bisphenol analogues are prevalent globally because of rampant usage and imprecise processing techniques, prompting alerts about environmental and health hazards. The method employed in this study by solid phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) for both quantification and qualitative analysis of the bisphenol compounds in the surface water samples. The coastal and estuarine surface water of Port Dickson and Lukut ranges from 1.32 ng/L to 1890.51 ng/L of bisphenol analogues. BPF mean concentration at 1143.88 ng/L is the highest, followed by BPA and BPS at 59.01 ng/L and 10.96 ng/L, respectively. Based on RQm for bisphenol analogues, the highest for BPF at 2.49 (RQ > 1, high risk), followed by BPS at 0.12 (0.1 < RQ < 1, medium risk) and BPA at 0.09 (0.1 < RQ < 1, medium risk). The presence and current risk of bisphenols analogues should alert the possible water quality degradation soon.
