Nantaba, Florence published the artcileTemporal dynamics and ecotoxicological risk assessment of personal care products, phthalate ester plasticizers, and organophosphorus flame retardants in water from Lake Victoria, Uganda, COA of Formula: C11H16O2, the main research area is ecotoxicol risk assessment water pollution Lake Victoria Uganda; East africa; Flame retardants; Lake victoria; Personal care products; Plasticizers; Risk assessment.
For the first time the occurrence of 25 organic micropollutants (OMPs) including, eleven personal care products (PCPs), six phthalate ester plasticizers (PEPs) and eight organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) was investigated in 72 water samples obtained from five bays in the Uganda sector of Lake Victoria. In addition, an assessment of the potential ecotoxic risk of the target OMPs to aquatic organisms was conducted. Water samples were analyzed for the target OMPs using gas chromatog. coupled with GC/MS. All the target PCPs were found in all the water samples with the exception of musk ketone and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol. Triclosan, benzophenone, and 4-methylbenzylidine camphor were the most predominant PCPs. All the six plasticizers were found in all the water samples with di-Bu phthalate, and bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate detected at the highest concentrations Tricresyl phosphate, tris-(2-chloroethyl) phosphate and tri-Ph phosphate were the most dominant OPFRs. The highest concentrations of OMPs were recorded in Murchison and Thurston Bays, presumably due to industrial wastewater effluents from the highly industrialized localities of the two Bays. Ecotoxicol. risk assessment showed that PCPs (triclosan, musk ketone, and 4-MBC), plasticizers (di-Bu phthalate, bis-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate and bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) and OPFRs (tricresyl phosphate, tri-Ph phosphate and tris-(2-chloroethyl) phosphate) pose a high ecotoxic risk to lives of aquatic organisms.
