“…This is explained by sorption of PAHs on the 209 surfaces in the glass-fibre filter. Sorption of PAHs on glass surfaces is a well-known and inevitable 210 problem (Qian et al 2011); the sorption was shown to decrease with increasing ration of solution 211 volume to contacted surface area (V/S), by using silanized glass and co-solvents. Humic acids were 212…”

“…Such large differences were not studied here. The S/V ratios of the containers are in the range 0.3-0.5 cm 2 mL -1 (glass and aluminium) and 0.3-0.6 cm 2 mL -1 (FPE) which are rather small differences compared to the ranges tested by Qian et al [21].…”

“…2a). Although the surface/volume (S/V) ratio can have a large impact on the adsorption behaviour of hydrophobic organic pollutants to the container walls, most of the previous studies compared containers with extremely different S/V ratio, such as a 2-mL vial and a 1-L bottle [21]. Such large differences were not studied here.…”

“…Moreover, this phenomenon is more pronounced the smaller the container is, as the surface-to-volume ratio is increasing [21]. Although several studies have been performed regarding the stability of PAHs and TBT inside different types of containers, the concentrations tested in those experiments were relatively high and none of them was close to EQS levels [18,[21][22][23]. The information available for PBDEs is even scarcer, and the interactions of these target analytes have not been studied in aluminium bottles.…”

“…Several studies dedicated to the adsorption of hydrophobic organic compounds to glassware have been carried out using water of very low ionic strength such as type 1 or deionized water [21,24]. The lack of natural ligands in these waters promotes the adsorption of the compounds onto the container walls.…”

Interaction of 15 priority substances for water monitoring at ng L−1 levels with glass, aluminium and fluorinated polyethylene bottles for the containment of water reference materials

Certified water reference materials are currently not available for most of the hydrophobic organic pollutants listed in the EU Water Framework Directive. To find the most suitable container type for subsequent reference material productions, feasibility studies for the preparation of waters with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and tributyltin (TBT) close to environmental quality standards in water have been performed. Due to the hydrophobic nature of these compounds and their tendency to adsorb onto container walls, an adequate selection of the most appropriate material for containment, storage and transport of water reference materials is crucial. Three different materials (aluminium, amber glass and fluorinated polyethylene, FPE) and three volumes (500/600 mL, 1000/1200 mL and 2000/3000 mL, depending on commercial availability) were tested at ng L -1 level of the target compounds. FPE shows by far the highest loss of analytes due to adsorption onto the container walls for all compounds studied. Aluminium and glass are equally suited for PAHs and PBDEs, but aluminium is unsuitable as container material for TBT due to acid cleaning requirements. The volume of the containers had no dramatic effect on the adsorption behaviour of target compounds for the different volumes tested.

17The bacterial community of a soil contaminated by a mothball chemical industry mainly 18 consisted of Betaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria (with Achromobacter spp. 19and Pseudomonas spp., respectively, as the most representative genera). Upon 20 addition of phenanthrene, species of these two genera were found in the enrichment 21 cultures as well as among the isolated strains. The isolated bacteria were tested for 22 phenanthrene degradation, but only Pseudomonas xanthomarina, either as single 23 culture or in a consortium, showed this capability. Here we show that in aged 24 contaminated soils some members of the bacterial community are active in 25 biodegradation processes, can be easily isolated, and may result appropriated for 26 bioremediation uses. 27 28
