The presence of bisphenol analogues (BPs) in wastewater can have adverse effects to organisms in the environment. However, knowledge of the wastewater sources, such as hospitals and landfills, as well as the removal of BPs are still limited. Fifteen BPs were investigated in hospital, landfills, and municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in South China. Eleven BPs were detected in various source wastewaters, and bisphenol A (BPA) is generally the dominant pollutant. In 4 hospitals, the total concentrations of BPs (Sigma BPs) in hospital wastewater and treated wastewater ranged from 122 to 1040 ng/L. In the landfill, Sigma BPs in leachate and treated leachates were 32,130 and 145 ng/L, respectively. In 5 municipal WWTPs, Sigma BPs was up to 17,200 ng/L in influents, 502 ng/L in effluents, and 291 ng/g in sludges. The modified A(2)/O process exhibited best removal profile for BPs, while the UNITANK process had no advantages. The annual mass load estimates of hospital treated wastewater, landfill treated leachate, and WWTP effluents in Guangdong Province, South China, were 630, 9.46, and 4697 kg/y, respectively. The risk quotient values in source effluents revealed lowto medium estrogenic risks to receiving rivers. Control measures should be applied to further remove BPs not only from WWTP effluents but also from other sources. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
