Abstract: The research on environmental estrogens (EEs) has become a hot issue in the field of environmental science. Nonylphenol (NP) and bisphenol A (BPA) attract much attention due to their wide existence in the aquatic environment, causing a potential hazard to aquatic organisms, especially to fish. However, chemical monitoring and analysis of NP and BPA is not easy to perform since their presence is always at relative low levels in various environmental media. Fish bile is of high bioaccumulation potential, and is a convenient material for chemical analysis of environmental pollutants. This review focuses on the analytical methods for monitoring NP and BPA in fish bile. Corresponding pretreatment (hydrolysis and solid-phase extraction) and detection methods including combined technology of chromatography and mass spectrometry are reviewed. In addition, sensitivity, advantages and disadvantages of different pretreatment and detection methods are compared to provide a reference for establishing methods for detecting NP, BPA and other EEs in aquatic organisms.

Key words: bile, bisphenol A (BPA), environmental monitoring, fish, nonylphenol (NP)
