“…The removal efficiency could be attributed to the sedimentation of solids and in the activated sludge which was not investigated. The level of phthalates detectable in the raw and effluent are higher than in other studies [20,21,23,24,25]. Throughout the three days sampling period, DEP concentration was higher than other phthalates investigated in the treatment plant.…”

“…DEP was the most abundant phthalate (796µgL -1 ) followed by DBP (123µgL -1 ) and DEHP (57µgL -1 ). The occurrence pattern of phthalates in raw and final effluent differs from previous work where DEHP is reported to be higher than other phthalates [20,21,22]. However, the result is in tandem with the study of Oliver et al (2005) where DEP was reported higher than other phthalates in primary tank [23].…”

Continuous disposal of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) into the environment can lead to serious human health problems and can affect aquatic organisms. A number of investigations suggested that final effluents of wastewater treatment plants are the main source of EDCs into the aquatic environment. A developed analytical method was used for the analysis of priority phenols as tert-butyl derivatives and phthalates in wastewater. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed by gas chromatography -mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using DB-5MS column. These compounds were evaluated using solid-phase extraction for raw and treated wastewater from a wastewater treatment plant. Concentrations of analytes ranged from below limit of detection to 570µgL -1 for phenols and below limit of quantification to 796µgL -1 for phthalates. Diethyl phthalate was the most prominent phthalate ester with pentachlorophenol for the corresponding phenol. The average percent removal varied from 52.63 to 100%. The result clearly shows that environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals are not completely removed from treated wastewater.

“…Ph is a degradation product of the diesters and high concentrations of Ph have been reported in sewages and landfill leachates (Jonsson et al, 2003;Marttinen et al, 2003). Ph has also been found to be one of the major DCA species in motor exhausts (Kawamura and Kaplan, 1987).…”

Water-Soluble dicarboxylic acids, ketoacids and dicarbonyls in the atmospheric aerosols over the southern ocean and western pacific ocean

Water-soluble dicarboxylic acids (DCAs), ketoacids, and α-dicarbonyls in the marine aerosol samples collected over the Southern Ocean and western Pacific Ocean were determined. Oxalic acid was the most abundant species, followed by malonic acid and then succinic acid. It is suggested that aerosol concentrations of the organics over the Southern Ocean in this work represent their global background levels. Over the Southern Ocean, total concentrations of DCAs ranged from 2.9 to 7.2 ng m -3 (average: 4.5 ng m in situ photochemical production is more significant over the Southern Ocean although absolute concentrations of the organics are much lower.

“…Groundwater receives the input of industrial and urban effluents and thus contains a cocktail of organic contaminants originated in raw materials and everyday products [39], like used oil which contain PAH and/or PCBs, which may be environmentally toxic or recalcitrant. Remediation of soil contaminated with organic hydrocarbons (used oil) is a major environmental concern due to their toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic properties [40].…”
