Occurrence of multiclass endocrine disrupting compounds in a drinking water supply system and associated risk
Contamination by endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) concerns the security and sustainability of a drinking water supply system and human exposure via water consumption. This study analyzed the selected EDCs in source (river water, n= 10) and supply (tap water, n= 155) points and the associated...

description |
Contamination by endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) concerns the security and sustainability of
a drinking water supply system and human exposure via water consumption. This study analyzed the
selected EDCs in source (river water, n= 10) and supply (tap water, n= 155) points and the associated
risks. A total of 14 multiclass EDCs was detected in the drinking water supply system in Malaysia.
Triclosan (an antimicrobial agent) and 4-octylphenol (a plasticizer) were only detected in the tap
water (up to 9.74 and 0.44 ng/L, respectively). Meanwhile, chloramphenicol and 4-nonylphenol in the
system were below the method detection limits. Bisphenol A was observed to be highest in tap water
at 66.40 ng/L (detection: 100%; median concentration: 0.28 ng/L). There was a signifcant diference
in triclosan contamination between the river and tap water (p< 0.001). Overall, the life groups were
estimated at no possible risk of EDCs (risk quotient < 1). Nonetheless, the results concern the transport
and impact of EDCs on the drinking water supply system regarding treatment sustainability and water
security. Further exploration of smart monitoring and management using Big Data and Internet of
Things and the need to invent rapid, robust, sensitive, and efcient sensors is warranted. |
