Résumé
The occurrence and distributions of selected endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), along with related environmental factors, were investigated in two rivers and six reservoirs in the Pearl River Delta. The vertical profiles of aqueous 4-tert-octylphenol (OP), 4-nonylphenol (NP), and estrone (E1) were constant, with little change in concentration between the surface and the river bottom, while higher aqueous concentrations of bisphenol A (BPA) were found in the bottom layers of the rivers. OP and NP in suspended particulate matter (SPM) were transferred from the surface to the bed layer, ultimately accumulating in the sediment. However, the particulate profiles of BPA and E1 both featured increases from the surface to the bottom layers and attenuation in the river bed. Dissolved oxygen (DO), water temperature, and pH were negatively correlated with the EDC concentrations, and negative relationships between DO and distribution coefficient (K
