“…Generally, fatty acids include palmitic, linolenic, linoleic, and oleic acids, while resin acids include abietic, neoabietic, levopimaric, palustic, and dehydroabietic acids (Back and Ekman 2000). Resin acids are released in high amounts during pulping and paper production, especially in mechanical pulp production (Johnsen et al 1993). Resin acids are very resistant to chemical degradation due to their stable tricyclic structure (Dethlefs and Stan 1996).…”

The pulp and paper (P&P) industry worldwide has achieved substantial progress in treating both process water and wastewater, thus limiting the discharge of pollutants to receiving waters. This review covers a variety of wastewater treatment methods, which provide P&P companies with costeffective ways to limit the release of biological or chemical oxygen demand, toxicity, solids, color, and other indicators of pollutant load. Conventional wastewater treatment systems, often comprising primary clarification followed by activated sludge processes, have been widely implemented in the P&P industry. Higher levels of pollutant removal can be achieved by supplementary treatments, which can include anaerobic biological stages, advanced oxidation processes, bioreactors, and membrane filtration technologies. Improvements in the performance of wastewater treatment operations often can be achieved by effective measurement technologies and by strategic addition of agents including coagulants, flocculants, filter aids, and optimized fungal or bacterial cultures. In addition, P&P mills can implement upstream process changes, including dissolved-air-flotation (DAF) systems, filtration save-alls, and kidney-like operations to purify process waters, thus reducing the load of pollutants and the volume of effluent being discharged to end-of-pipe wastewater treatment plants.

On the positive side, the industry is based on the usage of renewable, photosynthetic resources. On the other hand, the industry discharges huge quantities of aqueous effluents. Large volumes (up to 70 m 3 ) of wastewater ...

“…Much less is known about physiological responses of fish exposed to effluent from mechanical pulp production. However, in laboratory-scale experiments (Johnsen et al, 1995;O'Connor et al, 1992;Kovacs et al, 1995) some responses, such as changes in growth pattern, activity changes in mixed-function oxidase (MFO) enzymes, and structural changes in the liver, were observed. These results were similar to those observed in fish exposed to effluents from bleached and unbleached chemical pulp production.…”

“…Numerous studies have assessed the effects on fish of specific resin acids as well as resin acids present in chemical and mechanical pulp production effluents (McLeay, 1987;Holmbom and Lehtinen, 1980;Oikari and Holmbom, 1986;Tana, 1988;Oikari et al, 1983;Johnsen et al, 1995). The most frequently studied resin acid has been dehydroabietic acid (DHAA).…”

“…In any event, a long-term sampling campaign is clearly necessary, as this would allow a better understanding of the behavior of these pollutants in the environment and their impact on the biota in the areas impacted by effluents from the cellulose industry, considering that the fish bile analyses are very sensitive biomarkers of pulp and paper mill effluents, due that the concentrations of resin acids and other toxicants can be 100-1000 times higher in bile than in water the fish live in. 28 In only one sample of reference area (table 2) was detected a resin acid (dehydroabietic acid), which would be consistent with the presence of former saw mill in the area.…”

Cellulose production in Chile has increased noticeably during recent years. Some pulp mill currently released effluents into the ocean, a trend that most these plants seem likely to continue in the future. No standardized protocols exist for evaluating potential environmental effects of such dumping in the marine environment. Resin acids, typical components in cellulose effluents, are known to be highly toxic, particularly for fish. Few investigations have considered this matter for the south area of Golfo de Arauco, one of the most productive areas on the planet in terms of fisheries. This area is currently subjected to effluent dumping from a kraft cellulose industry with secondary treatment. Resin acids are naturally present in conifer wood, making these compounds useful markers for exposure to this type of effluent. Herein, we report the presence of these compounds in bile from two fish species (Paralychtys adspersus and Paralychtys microps) caught in two seasons in the Bahía de Horcones at the southern mouth of Golfo de Arauco, central Chile, an area affected by cellulose effluent dumping. Dehydroabietic acid (17,5 ug/g in average) was found in the bile samples of the fish.
