PG - 125461 LID - S0304-3894(21)00424-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125461 [doi] AB - As a well known endocrine-disrupting and model chemical, bisphenol A (BPA) may pose a serious threat to human health, since it and its disinfection by-products (DBPs) have been detected in drinking water, urine, human colostrum, adipose tissue, and placenta samples. Although chlorinated BPAs (Cl-BPAs) and iodinated BPAs (I-BPAs) have been well studied, brominated BPAs (Br-BPAs), and mixed halogenated DBPs like bromo-iodo-BPAs (Br-I-BPAs), and bromo-chloro-iodo-BPAs (Cl-Br-I-BPAs) are less well understood. Notably, the role of iodide (I(-)) during chlorination is not well understood, since the studies of the I-DBPs mainly focus on their genotoxicity and cytotoxicity. To understand the formation mechanisms of halogenated bisphenol A (HBPs) during chlorination with bromide (Br(-)) and/or I(-), and the role of I(-) during chlorination, three set of reactions were performed in the laboratory ("BPA + chlorine + Br(-)", "BPA + chlorine + I(-)" and "BPA + chlorine + Br(-) +I(-)" assigned as group A, B and C respectively). Thirty HBPs were identified and 18 of them were never reported before. I(-) increases the transformation rate of BPA into HBPs as I-BPAs act as intermediate HBPs during chlorination that easily react with HClO/ClO(-) and HBrO/BrO(-) to form Cl-BPAs and Br-BPAs. HIO/IO(-) showed higher reactivity towards BPA and HBPs than that of HBrO/BrO(-) and HClO/ClO(-). The recycling of I(-) was observed in the reactions of "BPA + chlorine + I(-)" and "BPA + chlorine + Br(-) +I(-)", which may explain why I(-) can induce BPA to transform into HBPs and suggests that I(-) may act as a catalyst during the BPA chlorination reactions. The reaction pathways are proposed which present the reactions of BPA and HBPs with HClO/ClO(-), HBrO/BrO(-), and HIO/IO(-), as well as the recycling of I(-). This study describes the potential DBP formation and transformation mechanisms of BPA and its 16 alternatives, as well as the role of I(-) on the transformation of phenol compounds during chlorination.
