1.Introduction
Populationgrowthandurbanizationtogetherwithparallelglobalindustrializationhaveresultedinsignificantcontaminationofwaterstreamswithawidevarietyofendocrine-disruptingchemicals(EDCs)[1].BisphenolA
(BPA),whichisemployedfortheproductionofepoxyresinsandpolycarbonate(PC)plastics,isutilizedinvariousfoodanddrinkpackaging,babybottlesanddentalsealants[2].BPAisastrongendocrinedisruptorandalsoleadstocarcinogenesis[3].Despiteitshazardouseffects,BPAhasbeenextensivelyused,increasingitsglobalconsumptionatanannualrateof5.5%during2009-2012[4].IthasbeenreportedthathumansareprimarilyexposedtoBPAbyingestion,inhalationandskincontactontheorderofmicrogramsperkilogramofbodyweightdaily[5].BPAreleasedfrommanufacturingsitesoritsresiduesfromurbanandindustrialwastewaterseverelycontaminatetheenvironment,primarilyitsaquaticsystems.BPAhasbeendetectedatconcentrationsofapproximately150μgL−1inindustrialwastewaters[6],21μgL−1inrivers[7]and17,200μgL−1inlandfillleachates[8].BPAimposesdeleteriouseffectsonaquaticorganisms,evenatconcentrationsoflessthan1μgL−1[9],makingitsdetectionandremovaltonon-toxiclevelaprimaryconcerninwaterqualitymanagement.
