摘要
The occurrence of di-(2-ethyhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), nonylphenol and nonyphenol mono-and diethoxylates (NPEs) and seven polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in different types of sludge samples is reported. The analysis of these compounds was carried out by sonication-assisted extraction and analytical determination by gas chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometry detector, following a previously described method. The applicability of the method was tested by monitoring the organic pollutants in primary, secondary, mixed, and digested-dehydrated sludge samples from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) based on aerobic and on anaerobic biological stabilization. The occurrence of these compounds in sewage sludge and the influence of sludge stabilization process on the further farmland application of the sludge were evaluated. DEHP and NPEs were detected in all analysed sludge samples from both WWTPs at concentration levels in the range of 22.3-601 mg kg-(1) and 136-2357 mg kg-(1) dm (dry matter), respectively. PCBs were detected in all types of sludge analysed from the anaerobic WWTP but was not detected in any sludge sample from the aerobic WWTP. Concentration levels of the sum of the seven PCBs congeners were up to 1.5 mg kg-(1) dm. The concentration of DEHP, sum of NPEs, and sum of the seven PCB congeners were higher than the limits fixed in the third draft of the future Sludge Directive for land application of sludge in the 67%, 100%, and 11% of samples from the anaerobic WWTP and in the 83%, 92%, and 0% of samples from the aerobic WWTP, respectively.
