The concentration and distribution of bisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A and three kinds of alkylphenols in surface water and sediments from Taihu Lake and its tributaries were investigated by solid phase extraction and high liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-HPLC-MS/MS). The results showed that NP and BPA were the main Contaminants with an average content of 29.6ng/L (0~121ng/L) and 17.5ng/L (0~55.1ng/L) in surface water, respectively. The average concentration of NP in sediment was 240ng/g (0~2045ng/g), followed by TBBPA, with an average of 81.0ng/g (0~901ng/g). The correlation analysis showed that the total of the targets was positively correlated with the TOC in sediments. Overall, the pollution of its tributary and North Taihu Lake were more serious. In addition, the ecological risk assessment results showed that the entropy risk entropy of the targets in Taihu Lake and its tributaries was relatively high, and its ecological risk can't be ignored. However, the risk assessment for human health showed that the EEQt < 1ng E2/L, which does not have a significant risk.
