Solid phase extn./high performance liq. chromatog. was used for simultaneous detn. of 13 representative endocrine disrupting chems. (EDCs) in Songhua River water. It was obsd. that the concns. of 5 estrogens: estriol (E3), 17?-estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), 17?-ethynylestradiol (EE2) and diethylstilbestrol (DES) were rather high over the Harbin reaches of the river, with the max. content reaching 66 ng/L-1. Di-Me phthalate (DMP), di-Et phthalate (DEP), di-Bu phthalate (DnBP) and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) were more abundant than other EDCs, and DnBP had the highest concn. at 330 ?g/L-1. Contents of 3 alkylphenols: 4-n-nonylphenol (4-n-NP), branched p-nonylphenol (NP) and 4-tert-octylphenol (4-t-OP) were in the range of 25-1261 ng/L-1. The concns. of bisphenol A (BPA) were relatively stable, in the range of 20-50 ng/L-1. In comparison to the concns. of EDCs reported in the literature, these results demonstrate that the pollution of estrogens and phthalic acid esters (PAEs) is serious and needs special attention.
