“…The output of this source analysis was a list of 'potential pollutants' that was used in the environmental hazard screening which was based on a procedure developed by (Baun et al 2006), Ranking and identification of chemicals hazards (RICH). The inherent physico-chemical and biological properties of the XOC are used as input to the procedure that rank the compounds according to environmental fate (volatilization, sorption, biodegradation, and bioaccumulation) as well as their effect in the environment (covering acute and long-term toxicity (carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproduction hazards including endocrine disrupting effects)).…”

The RICH procedure was applied according to the principles described by (Baun et al 2006), but some modifications were included for the FIW assessment. The presumption that the handling system is open to ambient air is not valid if anaerobic digestion is included as a treatment option for FIW.…”

“…The promulgation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in the European Union has increased the focus on xenobiotic organic compounds (XOC) in all parts of the urban water cycle (Baun et al 2006;Eriksson et al 2005Eriksson et al , 2007aKohler et al 2006;Tilche and Orhon 2002) as the water quality in receiving waters should aim at both good chemical and biological status (European Commission 2000). Assessments of environmental hazards related to XOC may very well be required in the future for all urban wastewater streams in the European Union.…”

“…This was the inspiration to provide an in-depth analysis of the sources of XOC at the food-processing industries, covering four FIW case studies and applying a methodology which identifies potentially present pollutants by source analysis and furthermore prioritizes the compounds found into different levels of environmental hazard (Eriksson et al 2005), (Baun et al 2006), (Eriksson et al 2007a). Thus, the aim of this study is to present a systematic approach for source analysis and apply a methodology for identification of hazardous compounds in order to assist environmental risk assessment of the xenobiotic organic compounds that may be present in FIW.…”

In this study we present and apply a methodology for identifying environmentally hazardous compounds in food industry wastewaters (FIW). The methodology comprises a source analysis and a hazard screening of xenobiotic organic compounds based on environmental distribution, persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity in aqueous and solid phases. This approach was applied to four selected FIW representing fish, pork meat, and vegetable production. Included in this approach was an analytical-chemical screening of 137 xenobiotic organic compounds showing that 13 compounds and groups of compounds could be detected in the FIW composite samples. The combined source analysis revealed that 161 xenobiotic organic compounds could potentially be present in these four FIW. The main sources were raw materials and their processing, but also packaging and cleaning of the production facility contributed to the total number of compounds potentially present. Using the hazard screening procedure it was found that 29 and 102 compounds should be considered for further hazard assessment in the aqueous and solid phases, respectively. It is important to note that 12% of the 161 compounds could not be evaluated for environmental hazards due to lack of inherent data on degradability, toxicity, and bioaccumulation. Furthermore, for 91% of the compounds no information was found on anaerobic biodegradability. The presented procedure contributes with a systematic source analysis and a ranking of the xenobiotic organic compounds that could cause environmental concern. In this way the procedure can provide guidance to operators and decision makers on handling options for wastewater streams in food processing industries.
