High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Overview

Nonylphenol is a family of closely related organic compounds composed of phenol bearing a 9-carbon tail. These compounds are used in manufacturing antioxidants, lubricating oil additives, detergents, emulsifiers, and solubilizers. Nonylphenol is also a precursor to non-ionic surfactants like alkylphenol ethoxylates and nonylphenol ethoxylates, which are used in various industrial and consumer products.

Uses

Nonylphenol is extensively used in the production of detergents, paints, pesticides, personal care products, and plastics. It is also used in epoxy formulations, especially in North America, and as an intermediate in the manufacture of non-ionic surfactants. Additionally, it is used to produce tris(4-nonyl-phenyl) phosphite (TNPP), an antioxidant for polymers and stabilizers in plastic food packaging.

Regulatory

Due to its environmental and health impacts, the use of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates is restricted in the European Union. The EU has included nonylphenol on the list of priority hazardous substances for surface water in the Water Framework Directive. In the US, the EPA recommends that nonylphenol concentrations should not exceed 6.6 µg/L in fresh water and 1.7 µg/L in saltwater.

Monitoring

Nonylphenol persists in aquatic environments and is moderately bioaccumulative. It is not readily biodegradable and can take months or longer to degrade in surface waters, soils, and sediments. Monitoring involves standard GC-MS and HPLC protocols for detecting nonylphenols in environmental samples such as foodstuffs, drinking water, and biological tissue.

Health Impact

Nonylphenol is considered an endocrine disruptor due to its ability to mimic estrogen. It can cause hormonal imbalances in both wildlife and humans. In pregnant women, nonylphenol can affect placental and uterine proteins, potentially impacting fetal development. Long-term exposure has been linked to metabolic disorders and increased risk of breast cancer.

Environmental Impact

Nonylphenol is highly persistent in the environment, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. It can cause endocrine disruption in fish, leading to feminization, decreased fertility, and reduced survival rates in young fish. Nonylphenol is also bioaccumulative, posing long-term risks to wildlife and potentially affecting global ecosystems.

Safety Measure

Handling nonylphenol requires strict safety measures due to its potential health and environmental hazards. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles should be used. Proper disposal and treatment of nonylphenol-containing waste are essential to minimize environmental contamination.

Analytical Standards
