“…Elevated levels of natural wood extractives and their derivatives, for instance retene (7-isopropyl-1-methylphenantrene), have been commonly found in the sediment downstream from pulp and paper mills (Tavendale et al 1997, 2006. Furthermore, historically contaminated sediment may constitute a risk if they act as sources of the contaminants , Hollert et al 2007, Westrich et al 2007.…”

“…Under anaerobic conditions DHAA may transform to retene, alkylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) (Tavendale et al 1997. Retene is a hydrophobic compound (log Kow 6.4; Basu et al 2001) and common xenobiotic found in the sediment downstream from pulp and paper industry , 1999c.…”

“…The low concentrations of retene in the sediments of the Äänekoski watercourse probably can be explained by the relatively low abundance of RAs, retene's precursors (Tavendale et al 1997, as a significant positive correlation between RAs and retene concentrations were found in the sediment of Lake Kuhnamo (I). Probably aerobic conditions in the sediment may also be affected, while anoxic conditions are needed for retene formation (Tavendale et al 1997).…”

“…Probably aerobic conditions in the sediment may also be affected, while anoxic conditions are needed for retene formation (Tavendale et al 1997). In fact, in the 1960s and 1970s, during the summer stratification, anoxic conditions were commonly measured in the hypolimnion of Lake Vatianjärvi and even in early 1990s in Lake Kuhnamo (HERTTA 2012).…”

Such conditions should have been suitable for retene transformation from RAs (Tavendale et al 1997). On the other hand, the sediment samples analyzed in this study were deposited after that, as the sedimentation rate was about three cm in Lake Kuhnamo ) and one cm per year in Lake Vatianjärvi (III, , and the oxygen concentrations increased relatively quickly (HERTTA 2012) due to the introduction of the new pulp mill and efficient wastewater treatment in 1985.…”

Retene (7-isopropyl-1-methylphenanthrene) is a dialkyl-substituted PAH derived thermally and microbially from dehydroabietic acid. We have analyzed for retene and several resin acids in sediments at five depths at several sites in a lake receiving effluents from three pulp and paper mills, and two upstream reference sites. The highest concentration of retene was 1,600 g/g dry weight (11,700 g/g organic carbon [OC]) and of total resin acids was 1,500 g/g dry weight (9,300 g/g OC). Twelve kilometers downstream from the point of bleached-kraft mill effluent (BKME) discharge, the concentration of retene at a depth of 5 to 10 cm was 16 g/g dry weight (650 g/g OC) and of resin acids was 139 g/g dry weight (1,700 g/g OC). Upstream of the BKME discharge, the concentration of retene was below 0.1 g/g dry weight and of resin acids was below 70 g/g dry weight.To assess the bioavailability of retene to fish we determined its concentration in the bile of roach (Rutilus rutilus) and perch (Perca fluviatilis) caught 1 to 2 km downstream of pulp and paper mills and in the reference area. Retene was bioavailable to roach, which primarily feed on benthic organisms; however, retene was not detected in perch bile.

Water samples were collected on three dates at 24 sites influenced by effluent from Georgia-Pacific's Palatka Pulp and Paper Mill Operation, a bleached and unbleached kraft mill near Palatka, Florida, USA. The sampling sites were located within the mill retention ponds, Rice Creek, and the St. John's River. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for abietic, dehydroabietic, and isopimaric acids, all of which are potentially toxic by-products of pulp production. Isopimaric acid concentrations greater than 12 mg/L were measured at the mill's effluent outfall but were less than 20 microg/L at the end of Rice Creek. This result indicates that the waters of Rice Creek provide dilution or conditions conducive for degradation or sorption of these compounds. Large differences in resin acid concentrations were observed between sampling events. In two sampling events, the maximum observed concentrations were less than 2 mg/L for each analyte. In a third sampling event, all of the compounds were detected at concentrations greater than 10 mg/L. Data from the three sample dates showed that resin acid concentrations were below 20 microg/L before the confluence of Rice Creek and the St. John's River in all cases.
