Emission of Bisphenol A and Four New Analogs from Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plants in the Production Processes of Polypropylene and Polyethylene Terephthalate in South America

The study of the presence bisphenol analogs in environment has been very relevant recent years because their toxic potential discovered, and since they are not regulated like A, use industry excessive. This identifies quantifies for first time A four uncommon waste from polypropylene (PP) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) production processes that may originate degradation some compounds used during resin synthesis Colombia to determine effectiveness removal these components. data obtained show treatments waters insufficient eliminate 40% bisphenols present them, when evaluating profiles compounds, it is clear compound with highest PP process was D-BPA-1, while PET D-BPA-4, indicating identification elimination systems rudimentary.
