“…Therefore, it is most likely that petrochemical plants were responsible for the PCBs pollution since these compounds were widely used as insulating or lubricating oils in plastic, resin and rubber industry. In previous studies, high concentrations of PCBs had already been observed in the soil around petrochemical industrial plants (Kaisarevic et al, 2011;Nadal et al, 2007).…”

Thirty-one topsoil samples were collected from the area of the Yanshan petrochemical industries to comprehensively determine the spatial distribution, the possible sources and the potential risks of legacy Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in a typical petrochemical industrial area. The total concentration of 16 PAHs, predominantly originated from the local emission from fuel combustion, ranged from 35.29 to 6120.22 ng/g with a mean value of 906.11 ng/g. Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs) originated mainly from the recent inputs and their total concentrations varied from 4.13 to 7215.24 ng/g with a mean of 336.13 ng/g. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) were associated with the usage of commercial products and the total concentrations of 125 congeners ranged from 2.21 to 4008.47 ng/g with a mean of 486.12 ng/g. Residential Total Lifetime Carcinogenic Risk (TLCR) value, higher than the target excess individual lifetime risk (1 × 10 −6), was calculated to be of 22.6% for PAHs, 16.1% for OCPs and 6. 5% for PCBs respectively. Occupational TLCR, higher than the target excess individual lifetime risk was of 9.7% for PAHs, 6.5% for OCPs and 0% for PCBs respectively. In all sampling sites, non-carcinogenic risks expressed as Total Hazard Quotient (THQ) for PAHs, OCPs and PCBs were always below 1. As a consequence, the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks due to exposure to POPs in soil were very low even in such a typical petrochemical industrial area. In the study, the management and the risk assessment of POPs in a petrochemical industrial area close to a metropolis, were evaluated comprehensively.

“…13,19,20 Previous studies have assessed the environmental risks posed by PCBs, PCDD/PCDFs and/or PAHs by use of instrumental analysis and/or in vitro bioassay. 2,7,8,13,18,21,23,[34][35][36] Here, RePs values derived from the latest literature were reapplied to estimate and compare the TEQs for selected sediment samples reported previously (Table 4). The P TEQ PCB + TEQ PCDD/PCDF calculated by use of RePs were generally greater than those by use of WHO TEFs, indicating the underestimation of H4IIE-luc related TEQs associated with dioxin-like PCBs and PCDD/PCDFs using WHO TEFs.…”

The project focuses on the efficiency of combined technologies to reduce the release of micropollutants and bacteria into surface waters via sewage treatment plants of different size and via stormwater overflow basins of different types. As a model river in a highly populated catchment area, the river Schussen and, as a control, the river Argen, two tributaries of Lake Constance, Southern Germany, are under investigation in this project. The efficiency of the different cleaning technologies is monitored by a wide range of exposure and effect analyses including chemical and microbiological techniques as well as effect studies ranging from molecules to communities.
