Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are exogenous compounds that interfere with the normal hormone functions and ultimately lead to health disorders. Parabens, phenols, and phthalates are well-known EDCs, produced globally in large quantities and widely used in a variety of applications. Several studies have monitored these compounds in a variety of environmental matrices, including air, water, sediment, fish, human tissues, soil, indoor dust, and biosolids, etc. In recent years, environmental contamination and human exposure to these chemicals have become a great concern, due to their residue levels exceeding the permissible/acceptable limits. In this review, we focus on the origin of these EDCs, aquatic contamination pathways, distribution, human exposure, health implications, and healthcare costs. Further, this review identifies critical challenges and future research needs in removing or minimizing environmental contamination and exposure to these chemicals to protect living resources.

Analysis of inorganic and organic contaminants in foodstuffs aids in understanding the human exposure to these compounds via consumption. In this study, an edible mushroom species (Leccinum scabrum) and top soil samples were analysed for essential and toxic substances including phosphorus and inorganic elements over a period of three fruiting seasons. Analysis of silver (Ag), aluminium (Al), barium (Ba), calcium (Ca), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), mercury (Hg), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), nickel (Ni), phosphorus (P), lead (Pb), rubidium (Rb), strontium (Sr) and zinc (Zn) in mushrooms and topsoil were performed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) with ultrasonic cross flow nebulizer. Total mercury was determined by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectroscopy (CV-AAS). The results exhibited wide variation in concentrations of metals between soil and mushroom (cap and stipes) during three fruiting seasons. Positive bioconcentration factors (BFCs) indicate on bioaccumulation of several metals including, Cd, Cu, Hg, K, Mg, Na, P, Rb and Zn in caps and stipes of fruitbodies of this mushroom, while other metals such as Al, Ba, Ca, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Sr were not exhibiting significant positive BFCs. Over a period studied, the caps were characterised by different (p < 0.05) concentrations of Al, Co, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, P, Pb and Sr. Contamination profiles, temporal fluctuations, BCFs should be taken into consideration when assessing the nutritional value of this mushroom.

The Pacific Basin is a unique geographical region representing tropical, temperate and polar zones. This region is home to 2/3 of world’s population and consists of rapidly growing economies (countries) and highly developed countries. The Pacific Basin countries have had a history of use of persistent organic chemicals (POCs) at varying proportions during the last five decades. Due to diverse climatic and socio-economic conditions, the environment and biota in different countries in this basin have varying degrees of environmental contamination and effects on wildlife and humans. In this chapter, the historical background of POCs including, discovery, production, use, regulations/restrictions imposed, current status and possible future trends are reviewed especially focusing on the countries in the Pacific Rim.

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are used as additive or reactive components in a variety of polymers including high-impact polystyrene and epoxy resins, commercial products such as computers, electronics and electrical equipment, thermal insulation, textiles and furniture foam. There were over 75 different BFRs in the market; some of them were restricted/banned from production and use due to their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and toxic effects on organisms. Of the many BFRs still on the market, brominated bisphenols, decabrominated diphenyl ethers, and cyclododecanes are three major classes which represent the highest production volumes. Recent studies have revealed that environmental contamination and toxic health effects by high production volume BFRs continues to be of concern. Trend monitoring studies are useful in understanding the historical perspectives, current status and also help to predict future trends of environmental contamination by these compounds. This chapter deals with the environmental contamination status and temporal trends of polybrominated diphenylethers in a variety of environmental and biological matrices, including soil, sediment, wildlife, marine and terrestrial mammals from Pacific Basin countries.

An increasing demand for electronic equipment and the rapid growth of the electronic industry has resulted in the production of large amounts of electronic waste (e-waste), including obsolete computers, cellular phones, televisions etc. Transboundary movement of disposed e-waste in developing countries for recycling and extraction of precious metals in crude manner is of severe environmental and human health concern. In spite of a global ban through the Basel Convention, during the past two decades several countries in the Asia Pacific region are involved in recycling e-waste scrap mostly by informal or crude methods. China, India and Pakistan were major importers of e-waste, in addition to their own proliferated domestic origin. Other South Asian countries also receives a fair portion. Although e-waste related legislation has been adopted in different countries at different stages, South Asian countries are still lagging in preventive measures. While India and Sri Lanka have taken legislative measures to control the activity, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan are yet to enforce the laws in this sector. Highly toxic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzo- p-furans (PCDDs/Fs) are reported to be formed or emitted during e-waste recycling process. This chapter provides an overview on e-waste production/import and handling in various South Asian countries viz., Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar. In addition, various persistent toxic substances (PTS) that are released during the e-waste handling and recycling process are delineated. Recommendations for energy savings and resource conservation are discussed.

Classical and emerging persistent organic pollutants are of great concern due their negative effects on the environment, wildlife and human health. Estuaries and coastal marine environments are considered the most sensitive areas to the accumulation of these pollutants. The objective of this study was to understand the contamination status of classical and emerging pollutants in the rivers and estuarine waters of Savannah, Georgia. PCB congeners, chlorinated pesticides and PBDEs were analyzed in sediment and various fish species samples collected from the Vernon River, and other estuarine/brackish waters in the region. Standard analytical procedures were followed to determine the concentrations of these contaminants. Results revealed that detectable levels of PCBs, chlorinated pesticides and PBDEs were found in sediments and fish samples analyzed. Although several of the organochlorines were banned from production and use decades ago, residues of these compounds are still found in sediments and fish samples from Savannah, Georgia. PCBs and pesticides concentrations in fish tissues were below the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established limits for human consumption. In addition, comparison of the geographical and historical data revealed that sediment and fish from these waters are relatively less contaminated than other freshwater and coastal/marine environments.

This study deals with the effects of natural disasters involving earthquake followed by tsunami and consequent human activities, on the quality of the inland and coastal waters of Japan. Two cases of accidental petrochemical fires in Japan that involved the use of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) have been investigated as potential sources of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in inland and coastal waters of Japan. PFASs were identified and quantified in seawater, lake water, snow, runoff and surface soil samples. Concentrations of individual PFASs were measured in water samples using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The total concentrations of PFASs in seawater and lake water samples from the city of Tomakomai ranged from 0.43 to 519 ng/L. The greatest concentration of PFOS was found at T19 (311 ng/L) in December 2003. Total fluorine (TF), inorganic fluorine (IF), and extractable organic fluorine (EOF) were also measured in the samples using a newly developed method: combustion ion chromatography for fluorine (CIC-F). Results revealed that IF was the major contributor to TF in water samples. The major portion of EOF still remains unknown, suggesting the occurrence of other fluorinated organic compounds in addition to known individual PFASs such as PFOS, PFOA, and PFNA. In addition, composition and profiles of PFASs in two locations impacted by AFFF were different, suggesting different sources of organic fluorine released from AFFF. In Tomakomai, release of AFFF is believed to be a major source of PFASs, while in Kashima other sources such as byproducts of the fluorochemical industry appear to contribute to contamination.

In this study the concentrations and distribution of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in gas and total suspended particle (TSP) samples collected during daytime and night time. The sampling locations included an electronic waste dismantling workshop (EW), a plastic recycling workshop (PW) and a waste incineration field (WF) in Guiyu, China. A large residential area (RA) in this region was used as a control site. In the daytime, the highest concentration was found at WF (1041 ng m−3); while in the night time the highest concentration was found outside of EW (744 ng m−3). Comparison between work hours (daytime) and rest hours (night time) displayed that the total PAHs (gas + particulate phase) concentrations and the percentages of PAHs associated with TSP were higher at night than those in the daytime in all sampling workshops except WF. Source diagnostic-ratio analysis revealed that unwanted materials and smoldering honeycomb coals were the main sources of PAHs in EW, WF and PW. Benzo[a]pyrene equivalent [BaPeq] concentrations calculated by using the toxic equivalent factors [TEFs] suggested that the occupational exposure levels were not significantly high when compared with other occupational exposure. Additionally, our study suggested that the smoldering of unwanted materials could produce much more toxic PAHs compounds.
