Due to differences in stereostructure, enantiomeric compositions and enantiomeric ratios (ERs) of chiral compounds can be used to discriminate environmental processes such as abiotic and biotic degradation/transformation. In this study, the ERs of two chiral polycyclic musks, 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta(g)-2-benzopyran (HHCB) and 7-acetyl-1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (AHTN), were investigated in the sediments of Zhujiang River and Dongjiang River in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), as well as in those of Suzhou Creek in Shanghai City. The results indicated that ER cᵢₛ of HHCB varied significantly, ranging from 1.09 to 1.53 and 1.40 to 1.48 in the PRD and Suzhou Creek samples, respectively, whereas ER ₜᵣₐₙₛ of HHCB exhibited limited variation, ranging from 0.98 to 1.10 and 0.98 to 1.05 for Pearl River and Suzhou Creek samples, respectively. In addition, ERs of AHTN varied substantially from 1.10 to 1.34 and 1.17 to 1.28 in the PRD and Suzhou Creek, respectively. These results suggest that HHCB in the sediment in the study area underwent biotic degradation and the preferential biotransformation isomer was (4R,7S)-HHCB, while AHTN simultaneously underwent a certain degree of biotic degradation/transformation.
