“…The greater values of the GW and PW soil could be due to the initial soil showed 28.09 ng g -1 of total PAH. Al Nasir & Batarseh (2008) found greater accumulations in soil irrigated with purified wastewater during a cultivation cycle in several plant species. In the case of pepper, the increase in ΣPAH was 60.7 ng g -1 .…”

The effects, in greenhouse conditions, of Purified Urban Wastewater (PW) from Almería (Spain), in the fertigation of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) on sandy mulch soil, were evaluated. Primary, secondary (active sludges) and tertiary (Chlorination + ozonation) purification treatments were applied to wastewater. Irrigation treatments applied were PW, natural Ground Water (GW), Fertilizer PW (FPW) and Fertilizer GW (FGW). The vegetal biomass, yield and fruit quality were controlled. Heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, Mn, Cu and Zn), arsenic (As) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) in water, soil, leaf, and fruit were analysed. The PW presented heavy metal, As and PAH contents acceptable for its use in drip irrigation. In the soil, fertigated with PW, the concentration of heavy metals and As did not increase, whilst the PAH concentration decreased. The PW treatment supplied enough nutrients to obtain yield and fruit quality equal to that of GW with fertilization. A significant saving on N, P and K fertilizers (37%, 66% and 12% respectively) was achieved by using PW. The Cd, Pb and As contents of the fruit did not show risk for human consumption. The total PAH concentrations in the fruit were low, the highest of which was phenathrene, with no carcinogenic signification.Additional key words: fertilizer savings; food safety; heavy metals; irrigation; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH); treated wastewater. ResumenEfectos de la fertirrigación con agua urbana regenerada sobre el suelo, la producción y calidad de pimiento (Capsicum annuum L.) y contenidos de contaminantes Se han evaluado los efectos de la utilización de un agua residual urbana purificada (PW) procedente de la ciudad de Almería (España) para la fertirrigación del cultivo de pimiento (Capsicum annuum L.) en invernadero sobre enarenado. Al agua residual se le aplicó tratamiento de depuración primario, secundario (lodos activados) y terciario (cloración + ozonización). Los tratamientos de fertirrigación fueron: PW, agua natural de origen subterráneo (GW), agua residual urbana depurada con fertilización (FPW) y agua natural de origen subterráneo con fertilización (FGW). Se controlaron la biomasa vegetal, la producción y la calidad del fruto. En las aguas, suelos, hojas y frutos, se analizaron metales pesados (Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, Mn, Cu and Zn), arsenico (As) e hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos (PAH). El PW se consideró apta para uso en riego localizado atendiendo a sus niveles de metales pesados, As y PAH. El tratamiento PW suministró nutrientes suficientes para obtener producción y calidad de pimiento iguales al tratamiento FGW. En suelo, no se observó acumulación de metales pesados ni As y disminuyeron las concentraciones de PAH. Se obtuvieron ahorros significativos de fertilizantes nitrogenados, fosfóricos y potasicos (37, 66 y 12% respectivamente) al utilizar PW. Los contenidos de metales pesados, As y PAH en el fruto no representaron riesgo para el consumo humano. En cuanto a PAH, la mayor concentración registrada fue de fenantreno, compuesto n...

“…Among the different vegetable oils, peanut oils were found to have the highest average levels of S 15 PAH and S 7 PAH. According to the published studies, the concentration of PAHs in vegetable roots is higher than that in the aerial part of vegetables, indicating that root uptake via soils is the primary transfer pathway of PAHs from environment to vegetables (Al Nasir and Batarseh, 2008;Wang et al, 2011). Unlike soybean seed and corn seed, peanut seed grows in the soil, which may be favorable for accumulation of PAHs from soil in the root, and consequently result a relatively high average concentration of PAHs in peanut oils.…”

“…Many studies have been undertaken on inorganic compounds (e.g., Klay et al, 2010;Papadopoulos et al, 2009;Rattan et al, 2005;Smith et al, 1996) and pathogens (e.g., Mutengu et al, 2007;Palese et al, 2009;Pedrero and Alarcón, 2009) in wastewater and their possible effects on soil and plants as well as human health. Some studies have investigated some persistent organic contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in wastewater irrigated soils (e.g., Al Nasir and Batarseh, 2008;Chen et al, 2005;Sun et al, 2009). Few studies have focused on emerging contaminants including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs).…”
