“…Phthalic acid esters (phthalate) (Viecelli et al 2011) such as di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) are the most often employed; they exist in medicines, perfumes, nail polish, shampoos and lotions, paints, and adhesives for printers (Gómez-Hens and AguilarCaballos 2003; Andrady and Neal 2009). However, phthalates exhibit adverse effects on human and organisms, as summarized in Table 2.…”

Technological, agricultural, and medical advances have improved the lifestyle of humankind. However, these advances have caused new problems that affect the environment and future generations. Emerging contaminants display properties such as low degradation potential and environmental persistence. In addition, most contaminants are lipophilic, which culminates in high bioaccumulation. The disposal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products into the environment underlies microbial and bacterial resistance. Plasticizers change several characteristics of industrialized materials, such as flexibility, but they are potentially carcinogenic and disrupt the endocrine system. Pesticides prevent the propagation of numerous kinds of pests; nevertheless, they exert neurotoxic and mutagenic effects, and they impact the environment negatively. Addition of flame retardants to a number of materials prevents flame propagation; however, after their release into the environment, these chemicals may bioaccumulate in organisms and disrupt the endocrine system, too. Surfactants can change the surface and interfacial properties of liquids, but their presence in the environment can interfere with countless enzymes and can even impair the endocrine system of various organisms and induce the feminization of species. Hence, gaining knowledge about emerging contaminants is increasingly important to minimize future damage and enable proper monitoring of each class of compounds in the environment which will help to improve legislation on this matter.

“…Based on their chemical structure, plasticizers can be divided into diverse categories [49]; among them, phthalates received a lot of attention due to their wide use and release in water bodies. They are esters of phthalic acid containing a benzene ring with two functional ester groups such as in diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) [50]. Due to their relatively low molecular weight, phthalates can easily migrate and spread into the environment; moreover, because of their lipophilic nature, phthalates can pass through natural barriers such as skin, lung and gut tissue of humans with the consequences of bioaccumulation and biomagnification [51,52].…”

Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are one of the main barriers in the water cycle as they limit the water reuse due to their adverse effects on humans and the ecosystem. Natural and/or engineered ecosystems, such as conventional wastewater treatment processes, are not designed to remove CECs and contribute to the bioaccumulation in organisms considering high volumes of treated water discharges. The adoption of innovative solutions to upgrade urban water cycle facilities has gained relevance for the removal of these substances from final effluents. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) show promising selective removal toward a wide range of CECs. However, this solution is still limited to lab/bench scale and needs to be critically analyzed and assessed for possible scale-up in real environment. Therefore, in this review, an overview of the fate and occurrence of CECs in wastewater is initially reported together with the state-of-the-art in adsorption mechanisms to remove these compounds. In the central part of the paper, an evaluation of MIPs synthesis and their status in removing CECs from water matrix are presented. An upscaling pathway of MIPs column from lab-to pilot-scale is given to be applied for enhanced CECs removal and safe water reuse in irrigation/fertigation. Finally, possible integrations of MIP columns to real wastewater treatment facilities is discussed and advantages and disadvantages of the potential solutions are addressed to enhance their sustainability.

Occurrence of Bisphenol A in soil and leachate of a municipal landfill: effect of the sample acidification

et al. 2014

The main objective of present study was the quantitative analysis of bisphenol A (BPA) in soil and leachate of a municipal sanitary landfill. The influence of the solvent polarity and pH over the quantitative analysis of BPA in the leachate was also investigated. The soil samples were collected from closed cells and extracted by Soxhlet extraction with ethanol. The liquid samples, from row leachate from the same sanitary landfill were extracted by Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) with C-18 cartridges and ethanol. The organic extracts from liquid and solid samples were analyzed by Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detector (GC/FID). For the soil and liquid samples the average concentrations of BPA were 21.30 (±0.61) µg kg −1 and 26.83 (±2.69) µg L −1 , respectively. These results were far above the ones cited in the literature and are of special concern because BPA may disrupt the human endocrine system. The acidification allows the increase of 5% of the extraction efficiency. In this way, the acidification step is recommended for the quantification of BPA in samples where the concentration of this analyte is below 0.1%. In these cases the acidification step may avoid important loss of the analyte and improve the detection limit in the instrumental analysis.
