“…Recent years have brought increasing concern over the environmental risks posed by organic pollutants, especially the so-called endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) (Popenda & Włodarczyk-Makuła 2018, Kida & Koszelnik 2015, Kudlek & Dudziak 2018, Pochwat 2018, Pochwat & Słyś 2018, Ziemowicz et al 2018, Kumar et al 2020. Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), a known EDC, is the pollutant that occurs most frequently in the natural environment.…”

“…Release from plastics is expected to be the main source of phthalate environmental pollution due to their non-covalent binding to polymers, especially from microplastics due to the increased specific surface area (Kida et al 2022, Jang et al 2016, Net et al 2015. Di-n-butyl phthalate is, next to di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), the most common environmental pollutant, and since it is soluble in water and stable in environmental conditions, it is often detected in aquatic ecosystems, especially in surface water, groundwater, raw and treated wastewater, landfill leachate, and even in drinking water (Rivera-Utrilla et al 2012, Kida & Koszelnik 2015, Piątek et al 2016. Its main metabolite is mono-butyl phthalate (Lee & Veeramachaneni, 2005).…”

A devised methodology presented here allows the determination of di-n-butyl phthalate in environmental samples (water and landfill leachate) using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography. It is developed based on the use of a gas chromatograph with an FID detector. Preliminary testing has also provided extraction parameters and conditions for chromatographic determination, with calibration applied by reference to an internal standard. The linearity of the calibration curve has been tested in DBP concentrations ranging from 0 to 7.5 mg/L, with the data obtained showing that, throughout this range, the detector readings as a function of the DBP concentrations remain linear (R2 coefficient >0.99). The average levels of recovery of DBP from aqueous solutions of phthalates are in the range of 97-109%, while the corresponding figures for leachates are 85-101%. The values of the coefficients of variation associated with the results obtained do not exceed 5%. The results, therefore, indicate that the applied extraction method is effective as regards DBP extraction from both water and landfill leachate, while numerous other substances present in the leachate from landfill sites apparently do not affect the correct determination of di-n-butyl phthalate by the method developed.

“…Detergents constitute a commonly used name for surfaceactive agents (SAAs), which mix with the surface water and groundwater through the municipal and/or industrial wastewater. The compounds hinder the self-purification processes of waters and accumulate in living organisms [Sarkar and Das 2001, Kida and Koszelnik 2015].…”

Surfactant and phenol were removed using AMBERLITE IRA 900 Cl ion-exchange resin, which is a strong alkali. In the process, the tests were carried out under non-flow conditions, the effect of contact time and ionite dose on the surfactant and phenol exchange was determined. The tests under the through-flow conditions were realized in three consecutive cycles, preceded by regeneration and rinsing. The obtained results served for determination of ionexchange capabilities of the studied ionite. The usable ion-exchange capabilities of the resin obtained after the second and third ionite operation cycle were lower by about 10% (surfactant) and 14.29-17.86% (phenol) than those after the first cycle. It shows that the process of sorption occurred simultaneously with the ion-exchange process.
