Background To assess the Volturno River pollution and its environmental impact on the Tyrrhenian Sea (Central Mediterranean Sea) caused by Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), 32 PCBs and aldrin, α-BHC, β-BHC, δ-BHC, γ-BHC (lindane), 4,4′- DDD, 4,4′-DDE, 4,4′-DDT, dieldrin, endosulfan I, endosulfan II, endosulfan sulphate, endrin, heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide (isomer B) and methoxychlor have been selected and were analyzed in three different phases: dissolved phase (DP), suspended particulate matter (SPM) and sediments. PCBs and OCPs were extracted using an SPE column for the DP and glass fiber filter for SPM and sediment samples. Cleaned extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography with electron capture detector (ECD) and mass spectrometry (MS) detector for PCBs and OCPs, respectively. Results Pollutants discharges of PCBs and OCPs into the sea were calculated in about 106.9 kg year−1 (87.1 kg year−1 of PCBs and 19.7 kg year−1 of OCPs), showing that this river could be a major source of PCBs and OCPs pollution to the Central Mediterranean Sea. Total concentrations of PCBs ranged from 4.1 to 48.0 ng L−1 in water (sum of DP and SPM) and from 4.3 to 64.3 ng g−1 in sediment samples. The concentrations of total organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) obtained in water (sum of DP and SPM) ranged from 0.93 to 8.66 ng L−1 and from 0.52 to 9.89 ng g−1 in sediment samples. Principal component analysis shows that all PCB compounds are more likely to come from surface runoff than an atmospheric deposition. Conclusion The data show that higher levels of PCBs and OCPs were found in sediment samples than in DP and SPM samples, which are an indication of no fresh inputs of these compounds. Based on our results, unintentionally produced PCBs by industrial processes (and other processes) were considered to be the main sources of PCBs in Volturno River and Estuary sediments. Considering the Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQGs), the Ecological Risk Index (ERI), the Risk Quotient (RQ) and the USEPA Environmental Quality Standards (EQS), the Volturno River and its Estuary would be considered an area in which the integrity is possibly at risk.

“…OCPs: DDT concentration in this study is in line with observation for Karun River (36 ng/L) [44], Lake Parishan (35.5 ng/L) [45] and Lake Tashk (51 ng/L) [46] but lower than Anzali wetland (108.83 ng/L) [47] and Shahid Rajaei Dam (<LOQ to 100 ng/L) [48] in Iran. Compared with OCP levels in other rivers across the globe, the mean concentration of DDT was lower than the Hooghly River (838 ng/L) [49], River Nile (210 ng/L) [50], Pearl River Estuary (143 ng/L) [51] and Iberian Peninsula (164.93 ng/L) [52] but were higher than Moscow River (<LOQ) [53], Yongding River (4.65 ng/L) [54], Chenab River (9.07 ng/L) [55], Ravi River (12.15 ng/L) [56,57] and surface water around Bejing (0.375 ng/L) [58].…”

In the outer Alborz Range in the Northern Province of Iran, the Haraz, Talar and Babolrood Rivers are the three largest rivers where most of the agricultural, aquacultural and industrial activities are found. Total indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (iPCBs) ranged ND–474, ND–273 and ND–559 ng/L in Haraz, Talar and Babolrood Rivers, respectively. Significantly lower (p < 0.05) concentrations of DDT, lindane and dieldrin were observed in the upstream stations than downstream stations of both Babolrood and Haraz Rivers. However, in Talar River, PCB residues in upstream was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than downstream. Furthermore, PCB-28 in Talar River and PCB-101 and PCB-153 in Bablrood and Haraz Rivers were high in water samples at all stations. A significant difference was observed among the stations. In October, November and December, there was negligible variations in total PCB concentration among the stations. Alarming levels of some of the legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) may pose adverse effects on the aquatic species dwelling in the Talar, Babolrood and Haraz Rivers of Iran.

“…PAEs are suspected endocrine disruptors, and can affect human reproductive health and development in both males and females [3]. PAEs can cause serious environmental damage because they are resistant to degradation in the atmosphere, water, soil, and other environmental media [4][5]. The United States Environmental Protection Agency and China have included dimethyl phthalate (DMP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and dioctyl phthalate (DNOP) in their lists of priority pollutants [6].…”

We established three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D QSAR) pharmacophore models of ultraviolet (UV) absorption intensities for phthalic acid esters (PAEs). Substituent positions were obtained using the optimum pharmacophore model, and hydrophobic groups were used to generate PAE derivatives from the priority pollutants. The UV spectra of the PAE derivatives were calculated using the same method, and were used to screen for PAE derivatives with greatly enhanced UV absorption intensities. The derivatization and solvation effects on identification of PAEs and derivatives were considered. The results showed that the Hypo1 pharmacophore model had good predictive abilities and there were 14 PAE derivatives generated. The maximum UV absorption intensities of three PAE derivatives were 121.85%, 105.20%, and 191.11% respectively, higher than those of the corresponding original PAEs. Analysis of the solvation effect showed that the UV peaks red shifted, and the degree of red shift increased with increasing solvent polarity. The minimum differential wave numbers of the UV peaks after PAE derivatization and solvation were higher than the minimum resolution of the UV spectrometer (0.1 nm). A two-dimensional QSAR analysis of the enhancement mechanism can reveal the derivatization and solvation enhancement. The logK ow values of DNOP derivatives were predicted to lower by 25.55%-34.12%.
