Baseline progestins characterization in surface waters of three main Portuguese estuaries.
Mar. Pollut. Bull. 194:115352 (2023)
Synthetic progestins are micropollutants of special concern, due to their growing use in human and veterinary therapies and their risks to aquatic life. Currently, there is a lack of environmental information on these compounds, worldwide. The main objective of this work was to characterize the levels of the most consumed progestins in Portugal. For that, Ria de Aveiro, Tagus estuary and Ria Formosa were sampled in a temporal perspective to evaluate levels of drospirenone (DRO), desogestrel (DSG), gestodene (GST) and levonorgestrel (LNG). Drospirenone and desogestrel were the most abundant progestins. In the North of Portugal, DSG was the most abundant (Aveiro: 193.9 ng L-1 in summer), while DRO was more representative in the South (Tagus: 178.9 ng L-1; Formosa: 125.7 ng L-1) and also in summer. These spatial differences can be associated with the hydrodynamics of each estuarine system as well as the distinct population and tourist levels associated with each site.
