The main health risk area was the midstream. As was the highest health risk element and children were the most preventive group. Specially, people in towns who drink the water from midstream should pay more attention.The concentrations of 22 endocrine disrupting chemicals, including 4 categories of sex hormones, progesterones, glucocorticoids, and phenolic hormones, in groundwater of Wuxi-Changzhou were analyzed using solid-phase extraction and ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The results indicated that 20 EDCs were detected, among which bisphenol A (BPA), estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE2) were the main components with detection ratios greater than 90%, followed by estriol (E3) and methyl-prednisolonel (Meprednl), which had detection rates 67.7% and 48.4%, respectively. The average concentration of BPA was the highest (4.95 ng·L-1), followed by that of Meprednl, E2, prednisolone (Prednl), testosterone propionate (TES-pro), and megestrol-acetate (MA; 2.84, 0.71, 0.64, 0.58, and 0.53 ng·L-1, respectively). The total concentration in each site ranged from 0.38 to 147.35 ng·L-1. The sites with higher concentration were mainly distributed in the Xinbei District, Liyang City, and the Zhonglou District of Changzhou City. selleck The potential sources were analyzed by a principal component analysis (PCA) combining the point sources near sample sites. The results showed that domestic sewage, aquaculture, and industrial wastewater were the main sources, following by medical wastewater. A non-carcinogenic risk assessment showed a low risk of EDCs in the groundwater of the study area, and the risk of drinking water was greater than that of skin exposure. EE2 had the highest non-carcinogenic risk and is suggested to be monitored in priority.The occurrence of emerging pollutants pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in aquatic environments has potential adverse effects on aquatic organisms, and the presence of PPCPs in drinking water sources is very likely to cause harm to human health. The PPCPs pollution in five typical drinking water sources in Henan province was investigated. Moreover, the source of pollutants was analyzed and the relevant ecological risks were evaluated. The results showed that the cumulative concentrations of 20 PPCPs at different sampling sites ranged from 24.2 to 317.6 ng·L-1. Caffeine (CFI) was the highest level contaminant, with the concentration up to 186.4 ng·L-1, followed by sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and ofloxacin (OFC), with detected concentrations up to 70.8 ng·L-1 and 24.2 ng·L-1, respectively. The pollution of PPCPs in Heigangkou drinking water sources was higher than those of other drinking water sources. The comparation of the labile indicator CFI and the conservative indicator carbamazepine (CBZ) concentrations implies that the pollutions from the upstream water and around scattered domestic sewage might be responsible for the PPCPs present in these drinking water sources. The risk quotient (RQ) calculation results indicated that the detected PPCPs in 5 drinking water sources have moderate to high risks to algae, while low to moderate risks to invertebrates and fish. Therefore, attention should be paid to relevant pollution control.The pollution characteristics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and phthalate esters (PAEs) in the surface sediments of Xiaoxingkai Lake were analyzed by GC-MS, and the main sources and biological toxicity risks of the pollutants were discussed. The results show that① The content of PAHs in the sediments of xiaoxingkai lake ranged from 82.1 to 534.6 ng·g-1, and the concentration of PAHs in the northwestern port of the lake was higher. The content of OCPs and PAEs in the sediments ranged from 4.8 to 50.4 ng·g-1 and 33.3 to 401.6 ng·g-1, respectively. The concentration was higher in the southeastern lakes. ② PAHs in the sediments were dominated by 3-5-ring compounds (accounting for more than 85%), which were mainly combustion sources, among which the combustion of coal and firewood contributed 47%, the combustion of gasoline and diesel contributed 39%, and the oil product leakage contributed 14%. The OCPs were mainly HCHs (78%) from the use of new lindane and the input of a small amount of industrial HCHs. The PAEs were mainly dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diethyl phthalate (2-ethyl hexyl) ester (DEHP; 94%), which were mainly derived from household garbage and common human articles. ③ Compared with other lakes in China, PAHs and PAEs in the sediments of Xiaoxingkai Lake are at a low pollution level, and there is no ecological risk at present, but some OCPs at some points present a moderate ecological risk.Solid phase extraction (SPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) were used to detect and analyze the distribution of 10 antibiotics including sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, and macrolides in the Harbin section of Songhua River basin and Ashe River, a tributary of Songhua River. The correlation between the antibiotic concentration and water quality indexes was analyzed and the ecological risks were evaluated. The results showed that only six antibiotics were detected in the entry section of Harbin city on the Songhua River and the concentration was relatively low. However, nine antibiotics were detected in the exit section and only sulfamethazine (SM1) was not detected. The concentrations of macrolide antibiotics increased most significantly, followed by those of sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones. The inflow of three tributaries in Harbin city was the direct cause of the increase in antibiotic concentration in the Songhua River. Only sulfapyridine (SMPD) was not detected in the upper section of Ashe River. Ten antibiotics were detected in the section where the Ashe River enters the Songhua River. The other nine antibiotics were the highest except norfloxacin (NOR). Wastewater discharged from four sewage treatment plants along Ashe River is an important factor affecting the concentration of antibiotics in the Ashe River. Correlation analysis shows that three kinds of antibiotics in the Songhua River have certain positive correlations with ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total organic carbon. There is a significant positive correlation between the three kinds of antibiotics and ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus in the Ashe River system, indicating that the water quality indexes of the Harbin section of Songhua River and Ashe River are closely related to their antibiotic concentrations. The results of ecological risk assessment showed that macrolide antibiotics in the Harbin section of Songhua and Ashe Rivers had certain ecological risks.
