BPA accumulation in the sediment of the area receiving the processed effluents of Phuoc Hiep landfill, Ho Chi Minh city

Abstract

The objective of this study was to quantify the level of Bisphenol A (BPA) in sediment of the area receiving effluents from Phuoc Hiep landfill during 7 months (4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12/2017 and 01/2018). The solid phase extraction (SPE) combined with high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) - mass spectrometry (MS) was used to analyse the target compound. The results showed that BPA concentrations were found in all of samples, ranging from 18.56 to 80.36 ng/g. BPA level tended to vary slightly through time and space between sampling sites due to the accumulation of BPA in the environment.
