“…However, O&G concentrations did not exceed background levels for either profile below a depth of 20 cm. The data agrees with results reported by Cecutti et al [ 18], in which fatty acids with a chain length of more than 16 carbons were not detected below a soil depth of 25 cm.…”

The reuse of greywater and other wastewaters are important considerations for effectivewater management strategies. It is also imperative that the potential for detrimentalenvironmental effects be investigated. As part of ongoing research into the reuse ofgreywater and oil-rich agro-wastewaters, the potential impact of oil and grease (O&G)to soils irrigated with greywater (GW) was studied. Greywater streams were sampledand analyzed for O&G content. Along with the greywater, soil profile samples werecollected from garden soils irrigated with these waters. The goal was to determine theO&G content of these GW streams, verify ifeO&G was accumulating in the soil profiles,and investigate the effect O&G can have on water movement through O&Gcontaminated soils.Untreated kitchen GW averaged 200 mg/L O&G, over an order of magnitude more thanother GW streams. GW-irrigated soils showed O&G accumulation of up to 200 mg/kgwithin the first 20-cm of depth. GW with low O&G concentration (<! 0 mg/L) stilldemonstrated long-tenn accumulation in the soil profile, with O&G concentration of150 mg/kg. To detennine the potential effects that O&G accumulation may have onwater movement in soil, capillary rise and water drop penetration time (WDPT)experiments were conducted. The results showed up to 60% decrease in capillary rise insand containing 250 mg/kg O&G. Interestingly, no additional reduction in capillary risewas observed at concentrations above 250 mg/kg. WDPT was observed to increaselinearly (from nearly instantaneous to over 2 seconds) with increased O&G content, upto 1000 mg/kg. This work demonstrated that O&G in GW used for irrigation canaccumulate in soil and may lead to a significant water repellency and reduction in thesoils ability to transmit water.

“…Outre la détermination de ces paramètres, l'impact environnemental d'une substance doit normalement prendre en compte le paramètre de migration au travers des différentes couches du sol : un suivi spatio-temporel permet de contrôler la dégradation du polluant dans le temps et dans l'espace [7,8]. Une migration trop rapide du produit avec les eaux de drainage conduit à une pollution des eaux souterraines.…”

“…Soil columns or lysimeters are efficient tools for this purpose. Many studies were performed in a lysimeter to monitor the evolution of pesticides and also compounds derived from vegetable materials in the soil (Agius et al, 1999;Cecutti et al, 2002;Cecutti, 2003). The purpose of these studies was to measure the primary biodegradability corresponding to the disappearance of the parent compound.…”

The work presented in this article focuses on the environmental impact of hydraulic fluids used in forestry. Migration and biodegradability of three biolubricants and a mineral lubricant were monitored in two forest soils and in a liquid medium. These studies proved that biolubricants were easily degradable products and showed ultimate biodegradability rates significantly higher than those of the fluid of mineral origin, specially in a soil environment. This superiority was even greater when fluid behaviour was observed after 1000h of use. Ecotoxicity test enabled the classification and comparison of biolubricants and showed that toxicity levels of the biolubricants were never high however, even after use, as compared to petroleum-based fluid.
