Musa estuary and its tributaries, located northwest of the Persian Gulf, host many industrial complexes, high-density ports, and urban areas along their coastal regions and are, therefore, constantly threatened by chemical contamination. The present study is the first to have investigated the surface sediments in six stations of the Musa estuary tributaries. The mean variations in BPA concentrations in the dry sediments of these stations ranged from 2.22 to 16.71 ng/g. Fairly high levels of BPA were found in Durragh station and its neighboring industrial sites. The lowest BPA level (2.22 ng/g) was observed in the station at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. Based on the EU risk-assessment system, the concentration levels of BPA in the sediments are in the low-risk range. Only in certain areas of the estuary were the sediments of moderate risk, and prolonged contact between ecological populations and them could cause toxicity in aquatic organisms.
