Beim Menschen wird es bis heute zur Vorbeugung von Thrombose und der Behandlung von Vorhofflimmern und Arrhythmie eingesetzt. Doch schon einige Jahre vor der FDA Zulassung als Medikament wurde es zur Bekämpfung von Nagetieren eingesetzt. Bis heute wurde es nur teilweise durch weitaus wirksamere antikoagulante Rodentizide (ARs) der zweiten Generation, sogenannte Superwarfarine, ersetzt. In der Fachliteratur finden sich zahlreiche Beispiele für sekundäre und tertiäre Vergiftung mit ARs bei Wildtieren und anderen Nichtzieltieren. Bisher ist relativ wenig über die Bioakkumulation, Persistenz und Toxizität von ARs und deren Transformationsprodukten (TPs) in der terrestrischen und aquatischen Umwelt, sowie der Nahrungskette bekannt. Um Einblicke in mögliche Transformations- und Abbauprozesse von Warfarin zu erhalten und um Umwelteinflüsse zu simulieren, wurde es in einer elektrochemischen Reaktorzelle oxidativ umgesetzt und mittels Massenspektrometrie analysiert. Hinsichtlich der Wasseraufbereitung in Kläranlagen wurden technisch relevante Simulationsverfahren wie Chlorung, UV-Bestrahlung und Ozonung angewendet um potentielle Eliminierungswege aufzuklären. Gebildete Transformationsprodukte wurden daher mittels unterschiedlicher chromatografischer Verfahren getrennt, massenspektrometrisch analysiert und verglichen.

Because of its ability to hinder blood from clotting by blocking vitamin K-depending carboxylation of blood clotting precursors, it is also used as a rodenticide worldwide. Until today it has been partially substituted by far more potent anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs), so-called superwarfarins. There are numerous references confirming secondary and tertiary poisoning in non-target-animals and wildlife like mammals, birds, and fish associated with ARs. Up to now relatively little is known about persistence and toxicity of transformation products of those AR in the environment and food chain. Herein, warfarin was chosen as a model compound to determine andelucidate TPs which are generated technically and under environment-like conditions. Such as the simulation of the oxidative phase I metabolism by implementing electrochemical flow cells coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). Obtained results are being compared to TPs generated by UVB-irradiation and ozonation. Analysis and separation of degradation products and TPs were achieved by a variety of gas- and liquid chromatographic techniques coupled to (high resolution) MS.

Furthermore, the need for comparability over space and time is critical for analysis of trends and evaluation of restoration of natural environment. Additionally, research work and exercises at the European level have highlighted that reliable measurements of estrogenic substances at the PNEC level are still challenging to achieve. The project EDC-WFD “Metrology for monitoring endocrine disrupting compounds under the EU Water Framework Directive” aims to develop traceable analytical methods for determining endocrine disrupting compounds and their effects, with a specific focus on three estrogens of the first watch list (17-beta-estradiol (17βE2), 17-alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2), and estrone (E1)). Estrogens 17-alpha-estradiol (17aE2) and estriol (E3) will be included to demonstrate the reliability of the developed methods - Mass Spectrometry based method and effect-based methods (EBM) - and to support the requirements of Directive 2013/39/EC, Directive 2009/90/EC and Commission Implementation Decision (EU) 2018/840, hence improving the comparability and compatibility of measurement results within Europe. During the EDC-WFD project four EBM will be deeply investigated in order to improve their rationale use and their support in water quality assessment.

Dabei lag der Fokus auf den Materialien und der eingesetzten Umweltsimulationen. In einem sich anschließenden Schritt soll nun das Verhalten der freigesetzten organischen Schadstoffe unter den Bedingungen von realen und simulierten Umwelteinflüssen charakterisiert und beschrieben werden. Hier werden im Detail drei potentielle Schadstoffe betrachtet, die Inhaltsstoffe bzw. Additive in den jeweils eingesetzten Materialien sind. Im Falle von Polypropylen (PP) und Polystyrol (PS) handelt es sich um polybromierte Flammschutzmittel BDE 209 (Decabrom-diphenylether, als Einzelsubstanz) und HBCD (Hexabromcyclododecan, als technische Formulierung). Für das eingesetzte Polycarbonat ist BPA (Bisphenol A) als Schadstoff zu definieren, welcher unter umweltrelevanten Bedingungen freigesetzt wird. Im Rahmen der durchzuführenden Arbeiten sollen die aufgeführten prioritären Schadstoffe hinsichtlich möglicher Transformationsprozesse in Umwelt und Klärwerk charakterisiert werden. Die unter den Bedingungen der Ozonung, Chlorierung und UV-Bestrahlung erhaltenen Transformationsprodukte (TPs) sollen im Sinne einer Non-Target-Analytik identifiziert und eindeutig charakterisiert werden. Die Ergebnisse sollen mittels vorhandener Analysenverfahren, wie GC-EI-MS, HPLC-ESI-IT-MSn bzw. LC-MS/MS erzeugt bzw. abgesichert werden. Anhand der in der Struktur eindeutig zu beschreibenden Transformationsprodukte und der Charakterisierung von potentiellen Intermediaten sollen belastbare Reaktionswege und –mechanismen abgeleitet werden.

Hierzu werden chemisch-physikalische Einflüsse (Bewitterung) und mikrobielle Beanspruchungen an Modellmaterialien evaluiert. So werden die Freisetzungsraten von Schadstoffen in Abhängigkeit der Beanspruchung beschrieben. Als Modellmaterialien kommen die Polymere Polystyrol (PS) und Polypropylen (PP) zum Einsatz. Synergistische Effekte der Bewitterungsparameter und der mikrobiologischen Beanspruchung sollen dabei ebenso betrachtet werden, wie die gezielte Alterung. Auch findet eine Beschreibung des Verhaltens der ausgetragenen Schadstoffe (polybromierte Flammschutzmittel) in den Umweltkompartimenten Boden oder Wasser statt. Hier sind mit Hilfe der zu entwickelnden Screening- und non-Target-Analyseverfahren die Transformation und der Metabolismus durch Mikroorganismen zu beschreiben. Aus den Ergebnissen sollen Korrelationen zwischen den künstlichen Alterungsverfahren und realen Szenarien abgeleitet werden.

All studied polymer samples were exposed to a defined weathering schedule in a climate chamber in accordance to regulation EN ISO 4892-3:2006. For the determination of BDE-209 in the collected raining water the samples were prepared in accordance to a validated protocol. Before the analyses each sample was spiked with isotopically labeled BDE-209. Subsequently the samples were extracted with isooctane. The obtained extracts were concentrated, and the resulting solutions were analyzed by GC/MS. Additionally, the total bromine content was monitored for the weathered and untreated samples using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) as a non-destructive and rapid method. In general, the resulting data from the accelerated weathering will be compared to those from the natural weathering experiments. Here, the surfaces of the test pieces were analyzed by LA-ICP-MS and XRF as well. Moreover, soil bed tests were conducted in a well characterized model soil. This soil (boulder-clay, sand with 12 % loam, particle size in total 0.2-4 mm) is filled in a free-draining basin inside of an air-conditioned cellar. In this manner, TOC, water capacity and humidity are recorded parameters. To induce a leaching process from the samples by the raining water, the target water content is calculated to 8%. The actual humidity is measured by a tensiometer, assuring the duration of the raining period. A defined humidity is a fundamental parameter for a biological activity in the soil. The test polymers were placed up to the half in the soil. Microbial activity of the soil is monitored by a reference polymer (polyurethane) and should induce the release of HBCD and BDE-209 out of the test materials. These released analytes will be captured by passive samplers (silicone tubes) placed in a distinct distance to the polymer samples in the soil. The soil bed experiments are complementary to the weathering experiments due to the biological activity in the soil.
