“…We found that SOC was significantly positively correlated with grain yield and dry matter accumulation (Table ). Previous work has also shown that increases in SOC significantly affect crop biomass and grain yield (Karami, Homaee, Afzalinia, Ruhipour, & Basirat, ; Peng et al, ).…”

“…Municipal landfill leachates may also be of serious concern. Among the four investigated parabens of two untreated leachates (Peng et al, 2014), MeP, PrP and BuP were detected with median and maximum concentrations of 3480e7930, 900e1820 and 420e470 ng/L, respectively; EtP was never detected.…”

“…The concentrations of UV filters in the aquifer were lower than those expected from simple mixing of the different recharge sources which suggested their removal from urban groundwater under different redox conditions. The presence of PCPs has been also reported in the groundwater bodies of UK (Stuart el al., 2011 and, Spain (Cabeza et al, 2012), Switzerland (Kahle et al, 2009), Germany (Reh et al, 2013), USA (Barnes et al, 2008), China (Peng et al 2014) and Australia (Liu et al, 2011).…”

This work presents the occurrence and fate of selected personal care products (PCPs) in the urban river-groundwater interface. To this end, urban river and groundwater samples were collected in Sant Adrià del Besòs (NE of Spain) and a total of 16 PCPs were analyzed including benzophenone derivatives, camphor derivatives, p-aminobenzoic acid derivatives, triazoles and parabens in three different campaigns (from May 2010 to July 2014). These compounds reach the aquifer through the recharge of Besòs River that receives large amounts of effluents from waste water treatment plants.Results shown that most of compounds were not or barely detected (maximum concentrations around 200 ng/L) in groundwater samples during the different sampling campaigns. Only two triazoles, namely benzotriazole (BZT) and methyl benzotriazol (MeBZT) were found at high concentrations in groundwater samples (maximum concentration around 2000 ng/L). The fate of PCPs in the aquifer was assessed using mixing analysis considering the seasonal variability of the Besòs River. Overall, measured groundwater concentrations were significantly much lower than those estimated by the mixing of the river water. This observation suggested that most of the PCPs are naturally removed when river water infiltrates the aquifer. However, some compounds were more persistent in the aquifer. These compounds were in descending order: the triazoles BZT and MeBZT followed by the camphor derivative 4MBC and the paraben MePB. The measured concentrations allowed us to assess the environmental risk posed by the selected UV-filters and parabens in the river and groundwater samples. Hazard Quotients (HQs) for different aquatic species were calculated in order to characterise the ecotoxicity potential of the studied compounds in the river-groundwater interface.HQ values were always below 1 indicating that at the concentrations observed in the surface or aquifer water of Besòs River these compounds pose no risk to the selected aquatic organisms.
