To date, knowledge of internal human exposure to BPA and its analogues (particularly bisphenol S and bisphenol F, etc.) remains limited. In the present study, a method involving dispersive solid-phase extraction and LC/MS was proposed to investigate the contamination levels of 28 precursor bisphenols and 9 major metabolites in serum. The critical variables of preparation method were screened out by Plackett-Burman design and further optimized by central composite design. Left in optimal conditions, a total of 286 samples consisting of 153 males and 133 females were analyzed. The results showed that BPA dominated over all the cases with the highest positive rate (82.2% of all the surveyed people), and totally four metabolites (BPA β-D-glucuronide, BPA monosulfate, BPA bis-(β-D-glucuronide) and BPS monosulfate) were detectable. The occurrence of BPA bis-(β-D-glucuronide) in serum is reported for the first time and its higher positive rate and contamination concentrations suggested that it may be a more important metabolite of BPA than others. Negligible potential risk of health effects to blood donors was observed, since the estimated exposure levels (mean 32.1 ng/kg bw/day, 95th 123.2 ng/kg bw/day) were well below far less than the temporary tolerable reference dose of BPA that recommended by the European Food Safety Authority (4 μg/kg bw/day by). The reference level of BPA for healthy population was determined to be 4.09 μg/L via the percentile method.
