An assessment of the risks associated with PCDDs and PCDFs following the application of sewage sludge to agricultural land in the UK 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A model has been developed to describe the transfer of PCDDs and PCDFs from sludge-amended soils to the human foodchain. The model is conservative and assumes that all foods consumed by an individual are derived from sludge-amended soils. Predicted concentrations of PCDDs and PCDFs in potatoes, cereals, root vegetables and leafy vegetables were in close agreement with mean concentrations reported in the food survey conducted by MAFF in the UK. Predicted concentrations in milk were well below the Maximum Tolerable Concentration adopted by MAFF. Assuming a half-life of ten years in sludge-amended soils, the maximum estimated incremental daily intake (IDI) predicted by the model following ten applications of sludge to agricultural land was 0.80 pg I-TEQ kg−1 day−1, representing an increase of approximately 45% on current levels of background exposure. For an individual whose diet is solely derived from sludge-amended soils, the total exposure is predicted to be approximately 181 pg I-TEQ day−1 or 2.6 pg I-TEQ kg−1 day−1. This compares with an average background exposure of approximately 2 pg I-TEQ kg−1 day−1, well within the TDI of 10 pg I-TEQ kg−1 day−1 and indicates that the application of sewage sludge to agricultural land under the conditions assumed would not appear to present a significant health risk under the conservative scenarios considered in this assessment. 相似文献

In the present study, the investigation of the levels of the local and regional oxidants concentration at Athens, Greece, is attempted by analyzing the observations obtained at an urban and a rural station, during 2001–2011 and 2007–2011, respectively. A progressive increase of the daytime and nighttime average of [NO2]/[Ox] versus [NOx] is observed showing a larger proportion of Ox in the form of NO2 when the level of NOx increases. Similar results are observed when studying the variation of mean values of [NO2]/[NOx] versus [NOx]. The results obtained when compared with those that have earlier detected elsewhere, revealed similarities and discrepancies that are discussed in detail. The parameterized curves that are presented for the first time in this paper may be used by the air quality planners to track the trends in other cities also, and to understand what is or was driving them. 相似文献
