Abstract

The anti-microbial agent triclosan (TCS), and its derivative methyl-triclosan (Me-TCS), are discharged with treated effluents from wastewater treatment plants to receiving environments. We investigated the bioconcentration of TCS and Me-TCS in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) exposed to TCS (100ngL^-1) for 30days in seawater aquaria (19±2°C) with fresh phytoplankton as a food source. Bioconcentration increased with time reaching a steady-state around 24-30days. The bioconcentration factor (log BCF) for TCS were 2.81Lkg^-1 (dry weight) and 4.13Lkg^-1, when lipid normalised concentrations were used. Mussels were also deployed in cages at four marine locations receiving effluents from WWTPs. The mean (±SD) TCS and Me-TCS concentrations for mussels from these sites were 9.87 (±1.34) and 6.99 (±2.44)μgkg^-1. The study showed that mussels can be a useful tool for monitoring pollution of TCS and Me-TCS in marine and estuarine environments.
