Download or read book HBCD and TBBP A in Sewage Sludge Sediments and Biota Including Interlaboratory Study written by J. de Boer and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indicative studies had shown that relatively high levels of hexabromocylcododecane (HBCD) could be present in Dutch river sediments and biota. HBCD is used in upholstery textiles and polystyrene foams (e.g. for roof isolation). It was supposed that losses during the impregnation of the flame retardant in these materials would be the cause of environmentally detectable amounts of HBCD. A study on the occurrence of HBCD in sewage sludge, sediments and biota was carried out in order to trace possible sources of HBCD, to study the behaviour of HBCD in sewage treatment plants (STPs), and to study the distribution of HBCD in the aquatic environment. In addition to HBCD, tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBP-A) and its dimethyl derivative (MeTBBP-A) were analysed as well. Occasionally, also polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) concentrations were measured. The study consisted of four sub-projects: i) a method development part, ii) a study on the distribution of HBCD and TBBP-A in the river Scheldt basin in Belgium, iii) a study on the occurrence of HBCD and TBBP-A in sewage treatment plants and landfills, and iv) a study on the levels of HBCD and TBBP-A in various food chains and rivers and North Sea sediments. In addition to these parts and as a separate project, an interlaboratory study on HBCD, TBBP-A, MeTBBP-A and PBDEs was organised. The results of the first four parts are described in this report. The interlaboratory study will be reported separately. As regards the sampling plan and the analyses, the project has been very successful. Almost all samples planned could be taken. This sampling process was facilitated through the kind collaboration with a number of colleague institutes throughout the world, for which we are very grateful. Some delay was encountered in the method development phase. At the start of the project, methods for HBCD and TBBP-A analysis in environmental samples were neither available in the group of research institutes in charge of this project, nor in the literature. HBCD consists of three different diastereomers (often just called, although not completely correct, isomers). At temperatures above 160-190°C thermal rearrangements can take place. That means that a gas chromatographic (GC) method may be prone to errors as regards the quantification of the total HBCD concentration. A GC separation of the three diastereomers is, at the current state-of-the-art not possible. As it was expected that certain industrial processes applied by the users of HBCD would result in a different isomer profile than that in the technical HBCD mixture, it was highly desirable for this project to develop an high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the isomer-specific determination of HBCD. Consequently, a block of time was reserved for the development of methods, including an entire new method for the isomer specific analysis of HBCD. Because more difficulties than expected were met in this phase, the project was delayed by ca. 6 weeks. Apart from this delay, which seems very acceptable given the substantial risk factor of this part of the project, the progress was good and a large and consistent data set has been obtained, from which a lot can be learned about the occurrence and behaviour of HBCD and TBBP-A in the aquatic environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Chemistry is a relatively young science. Interest in this subject, however, is growing very rapidly and, although no agreement has been reached as yet about the exact content and limits of this interdisciplinary discipline, there appears to be increasing interest in seeing environmental topics which are based on chemistry embodied in this subject. One of the first objectives of Environ mental Chemistry must be the study of the environment and of natural chemical processes which occur in the environment. A major purpose of this series on Environmental Chemistry, therefore, is to present a reasonably uniform view of various aspects of the chemistry of the environment and chemical reactions occurring in the environment. The industrial activities of man have given a new dimension to Environ mental Chemistry. We have now synthesized and described over five million chemical compounds and chemical industry produces about hundred and fifty million tons of synthetic chemicals annually. We ship billions of tons of oil per year and through mining operations and other geophysical modifications, large quantities of inorganic and organic materials are released from their natural deposits. Cities and metropolitan areas of up to 15 million inhabitants produce large quantities of waste in relatively small and confined areas. Much of the chemical products and waste products of modern society are released into the environment either during production, storage, transport, use or ultimate disposal. These released materials participate in natural cycles and reactions and frequently lead to interference and disturbance of natural systems.

Download or read book Advances in the Determination of Xenobiotics in Foods written by Belen Gomara and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determining the presence of different types of toxic compounds (or xenobiotics) in food requires precise analytical methodologies. Examples of these techniques include separation techniques coupled to mass spectrometry, Variations in methods used depend on the physicochemical properties of each xenobiotic being tested for. Advances in the Determination of Xenobiotics in Foods explains recent developments in the field of xenobiotic determination in food. Readers are introduced to xenobiotic testing techniques through extensive reviews. Chapters also cover details about contaminants coming from food contact materials (such as plasticizers, food additives, polymer monomers/oligomers and non-intentionally added substances), substances used for food processing and sensing (nanoparticles), and residues of pesticides (that can also be present in the final food product). The book also includes information about specific xenobiotics that, due to their global distribution in the environment, are also likely to enter the food chain. Some of them are regulated (persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals) but there are many other types of contaminants (halogenated flame-retardants, perfluorinated compounds and micro- and nanoplastics) that must also be controlled. In addition, some xenobiotics could be present in the final food consumed because of food treatments (acrylamide, furan, heterocyclic aromatic amines, and glycidol esters). Finally, the concluding chapters of the book are devoted to the presence of natural contaminants such as mycotoxins and biogenic amines. The combination of extensive information of analytical techniques for xenobiotics along with a categorical treatment of food contaminants makes this volume a handy reference for food science and technology students and technicians involved in food safety and processing management roles. SERIES INTRODUCTION: This book series presents reviews, and reference monographs on all aspects of food science and technology. The series is essential reading for food chemists and technician in both professional and academic settings.

Download or read book Persistent Organic Pollutants written by Stuart Harrad and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-11-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic, resistant to degradation, bioaccumulative, and display wide spatial distribution. They accumulate in humans and wildlife, and have been linked to cancer, as well as reproductive and immunological disorders. In 2001 a global treaty on POPs was agreed, to minimise and ultimately eliminate the release of POPs into the environment. The Stockholm Convention lists 12 groups of chemicals, and as of late 2008, a further 12 chemicals are under consideration for inclusion. This book addresses all of these chemicals, but focuses particularly on currently listed POPs that are still of major concern (e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls - PCBs), as well as new and emerging POPs that have been the subject of an explosion of scientific interest in the last decade, i.e. brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs). Other chapters address the challenges posed by the presence of POPs in the developing world; how the properties of chiral POPs can provide unique insights into their environmental sources, fate and behaviour; and issues arising from the presence of POPs in urban and indoor environments. Persistent Organic Pollutants provides a much-anticipated reference source for a wide audience including academics, industrial scientists and regulators.
