The environmental distribution and migration of bisphenol A (BPA) has attracted attention due to its
widespread use. The Erhai Lake Basin is dominated by agricultural production and tourism, and almost
no industry. In this research, BPA pollution in the non-industrial region was investigated. BPA was
found in all samples of inflow rivers, with concentrations ranging 2.80 ng/L~61.85 ng/L. The measured
15 rivers that account for 78.7% of the total inflow volume were inputting BPA concentration of
20.69 ng/L into Erhai Lake with an annual load of 8.54 kg/year. The measured BPA removal efficiency
of sewage treatment plants ranged 49.8%~92.8%. Oxidation Ditch and A2O-MBR treatment process
achieved the better BPA removal efficiency. The amount of BPA discharged directly to Erhai Lake from
the effluent of the sewage plants each year was 1.63 kg. Based on the above research, a multimedia
model of QWASI was established, and water concentration calculated was 0.203ng/L. A PNEC value
considering more sensitive receptors was applied to this study, and it was indicated that there was
a certain ecological risk in the water of the Boluo River estuary, while other rivers and lake were
relatively safe. It was revealed that the ecological risk of BPA was relatively low in the Erhai Lake.
