similar to concentrations in river deltas in other
European countries. Waste water is considered
the major source.
Marine biota
Recent research by Institute of Marine Research
indicated that discharges from oil producing
installations have no effect on the population of
cod (Gadus morhua). Effects on other marine
life have not been researched.
Need for further screening and monitoring
There is a need for further screening of
nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates in the
environment.
Localities for further screening and monitoring
Nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates
should be screened again in marine sediments
(offshore). In addition, screening should be done
in fresh water sediment and marine and fresh
water biota. Relevant species should be determined
by further studies.
Analysis
The analysis of nonylphenols is often part of
multi phenols packages offered by several laboratories.
Methods
The methods are based on direct extraction with
an organic solvent (sediment and biota) or solid
phase extraction (SPE), clean-up with SPE and
separation and quantification with either GCor
LC-based methods: GC/MS, LC/MS or
LC/UV.
Synergy with other analyses
Sample extraction and clean-up may be co-ordinated
with the analysis of other alkylphenols as
octylphenol or as pentachlorophenol.
