Abstract
BDE-47 is the most abundant and toxic congener in the marine environment. Assessing the ecological risk of BDE-47 in seawater is of great importance to protect the marine species. However, the ecological risks of BDE-47 on marine species is still limited. In the present study, the hazardous concentrations for 5 % of species (HC5) values of BDE-47 were derived by species sensitivity distributions (SSD), the short-term water quality criteria (SWQC) and long-term water quality criteria (LWQC) were acquired from HC5. Moreover, the marine ecological risk of BDE-47 was assessed by the risk quotient (RQ) method in the coastal area of China. The SWQC and LWQC were 1.06 μg/L and 0.61 μg/L, respectively. According to published literature, the concentrations of BDE-47 ranged from undetected to 9.06 ng/L, BDE-47 has no risk to marine species in most coastal areas, but might show low risk for a long exposure time in the coastal mariculture area of China. This study provides a new approach for the derivation of the WQC and the ecological risk assessment of BDE-47, which is essential for the protection of marine species and provides guidance to manage the concentration of BDE-47 for administrative department.
期刊介绍:
Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes.
Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
– The extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems
– The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems
– The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances
– Models that describe and predict the above processes
– Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes
– Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.
