Alkylphenols (APs) R = 9 Nonyl- 80 % R = 8 Octyl- 20 % 4-4’- dihydroxy-2,2- diphenylpropane Uses : monomer in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics (water bottles, baby bottles); epoxy resins (food contact lacquers : cans, tin cans ). World annual consumption : 450 000 t/year

(Vanderberg 2007)

Uses: non-ionic surfactants, detergents, industrial wetting agents or emulsifiers. n could range from 1 to 50 units, ex : NP1 EO World annual consumption : 500 000 t/year

Interest of studying BPA and APs?

Compounds ubiquitous in environment (Uguz et al. 2003)

Toxicity NP, OP and BPA have estrogenic effects on wildlife Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC) (Correa-Reyes et al. 2007)

Disruptions on wildlife:

Deformity (gills, liver, kidneys) Rosy barb (Battcharaya et al. 2008) Reproductive toxicity : male mice (El-dakdoki and Helal 2007) Embryo development: Daphnia magna (Zhang et al. 2002)

CSO loads vs. daily loads Σ WWTP ( 5 WWTPs 8 million inhabitant equivalent)

Loads of BPA: Small 2 times higher than WWTP loads Medium 4 times higher than WWTP High 13 times higher than WWTP CSOs could be important sources of BPA within receiving waters at the scale of the event

Σ APs

Loads of APs: Small – medium – high : < 50 % of WWTP loads CSOs do not appear as important sources

Conclusions and outlooks

Conclusions : At the scale of an event: CSOs could play a key role for BPA loads but not for APs High concentrations of BPA (1,410 ng.l-1) within CSO Concentrations of APs in CSOs similar to WWTP effluents Outlooks : Improve our estimation of CSO loads and exported loads by modeling (PROSE) Evaluate the proportion of contamination owed to wastewater or runoff for each event At the scale of a year: CSOs are not relevant sources of BPA and APs within Seine River Improve our understanding of the influence of CSO on exported loads (particulate loads)
