4-tert-Octylphenol is a degradation product of non-ionic surfactants alkylphenol polyethoxylates as well as raw material for a number of industrial applications. It is a multimedia compound having been detected in all environmental compartments such as indoor air and surface waters. The pollutant is biodegradable, but certain degradation products are more toxic than the parent compound. Newer removal techniques from environmental waters have been presented, but they still require development for large-scale applications. Wastewater treatment by plant enzymes such as peroxidases offers promise in total removal of 4-tert-octylphenol leaving less toxic degradation products. The pollutant's endocrine interference has been well reported but more in oestrogens than in any other signalling pathways through which it is believed to exert toxicity on human and wildlife. In this paper we carried out a review of the activities of this pollutant in environmental waters, endocrine interference and relevance to its toxicities and concluded that inadequate knowledge of its endocrine activities impedes understanding of its toxicity which may frustrate current efforts at ridding the compound from the environment.

:4-叔辛基苯酚是非离子型表面活性剂烷基苯酚聚乙氧基化物的降解产物,也是许多工业应用的原料。它是一种多媒体化合物,已在所有环境隔间(例如室内空气和地表水)中检测到。污染物是可生物降解的,但某些降解产物比母体化合物毒性更大。已经提出了从环境水去除污物的新技术,但是它们仍需要针对大规模应用进行开发。通过植物酶(例如过氧化物酶)进行的废水处理有望完全去除4-叔辛基苯酚,而产生的毒性较低的降解产物。污染物的内分泌干扰已有很好的报道,但在雌激素中比在其他信号传导途径中被认为会对人类和野生生物产生毒性的干扰更多。在本文中,我们对这种污染物在环境水中的活性,内分泌干扰及其毒性的相关性进行了综述,并得出结论,对其内分泌活性的了解不足会阻碍对它的毒性的理解,这可能会阻碍目前从该化合物中清除该化合物的努力。环境。
