Notes | "One of the chemical breakdown products of nonylphenol ethoxylates, 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), accumulates in organisms and is of concern as an environmental pollutant due to its endocrine disrupting effects." (from the Abstract) Among the specimens studied were oysters from Netarts Bay, which did show concentrations of 4-NP. |
