Methyl siloxanes are identified as emerging persistent toxic compounds and the ecological environment risks of these compounds have been caused of great concern worldwide. In this study, the concentrations of methyl siloxanes were reported in dissolved water and crucian carp around a methyl siloxane production factory located in Liaoning Province, Northeast China. D4, D5, D6, D7, L4, L5 and L6 were detectable both in dissolved water and crucian carp. The total concentrations of 7 methyl siloxanes (Σ7MS) were 14 ± 6.3 ng/L in dissolved water and 43 ± 22 ng/g ww in crucian carp, respectively. D5 has the highest concentration both in dissolved water (5.5 ± 3.5 ng/L) and crucian carp (17 ± 11 ng/g ww). Based on the monitoring values, bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of these compounds were calculated. Significant bioaccumulation potential was observed for D4 (BAF = 5900 ± 3500 L/kg) based on the bioaccumulation criteria suggested by USEPA and EU (BAF > 5000 L/kg). To our understanding, this is the first report of BAF values of methyl siloxane in field study, which will provide important support for further assessment of bioaccumulation of these compounds.
