Inhaltsstoffe von Personal Care Products können zunehmend in der aquatischen Umwelt nachgewiesen werden. Dabei handelt es sich um Inhaltsstoffe von Kosmetikartikeln, Medikamenten oder Reinigungsmitteln. Der Eintrag erfolgt größtenteils über kommunale Kläranlagen, die die Analyten nicht komplett zurückhalten können. Zu diesen Verbindungen zählen im Rahmen dieser Arbeit die Moschusdüfte 6-Acetyl-1,1,2,4,4,7-hexamethyltetraline (AHTN) und 1,3,4,6,7,8-Hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta-gamma-2-benzopyran (HHCB). Diese Analyten können im μg/L- bzw. ng/L-Bereich im Oberflächenwasser nachgewiesen werden.
Zur Desinfektion von Wasser für Schwimmbäder oder zur Gewinnung von Trinkwasser werden hypochlorithaltige Chemikalien oder Ozon eingesetzt, um Mikroorganismen zu vernichten, wobei unter anderem auch Desinfektionsnebenprodukte (DBP – Disinfection By-Products) von PCPs gebildet werden können. In dieser Arbeit werden erste neue DBPs präsentiert, die durch Ozonierung oder Chlorierung mittels Natriumhypochlorit aus den genannten Chemikalien in Modellreaktoren hervorgingen. Auch werden die dazu gehörigen Strategien zu deren Identifizerung und Charakterisierung vorgestellt. Hier kommen diverse chromatographische Verfahren, wie LC-MS/MS, LC-MSn, aber auch GC-MS und die 1H- bzw. 13C-NMR zum Einsatz. In einem zweiten Ansatz werden erste Phase-I-Metaboliten dieser Verbindungen gezeigt, die beim Umsatz in Modellsystemen mit Human- und Rattenlebermikrosomen entstanden sind.
Transformation of carbendazim, diuron, octylisothiazolinone and terbutryn was investigated in two paints containing either white titanium dioxide or a red iron oxide pigment.
Test specimens of these coatings on glass were exposed to water contact and UVA-radiation under laboratory conditions. Panels of birch plywood were coated and exposed to natural weather conditions in a field experiment. Concentrations of biocides and transformation products were analysed in leachates from laboratory tests, runoff samples and remaining coatings. Water contact, UVA radiation as well as pigments in the paints affected the pattern and amount of transformation products.
Aim. The European biocidal products regulation requires environmental risk assessments for biocidal products under service conditions. This is only possible, if processes that lead to biocide emissions into the environment are understood and can be reasonably predicted.
Actual emissions due to leaching result from different processes that are affected by material properties and environmental conditions. Transformation of biocides can affect emissions considerably.
Leaching and possible transformation of the film preservatives carbendazim, diuron, OIT and terbutryn in paints was observed under laboratory and field conditons in order to investigate the influence of different factors, e.g. water contact and radiation on biocide emissions. The paints contained either white titanium dioxide or a red iron oxide pigment to check whether pigments affect leaching processes.
Methods. Test specimens of a water-based styrene acrylic dispersion paint on glass were exposed to UVA-radiation in a UV weathering device and/or exposed to water contact by immersion events on the basis of the European standard EN 16105. Plywood panels were coated and exposed to natural weather conditions in a semi-field experiment. Concentrations of biocides and transformation products were analysed in leachates from laboratory tests, runoff samples and remaining coatings.
Results. The impact of weathering conditions on transformation processes differs for the investigated active substances. Water contact, radiation as well as pigments in the paints determine the pattern and amount of transformation products on coatings, leachates and runoff water. Observations from laboratory and field experiments were compared. It proved that results from laboratory tests support understanding of data from field experiments.
Detailed knowledge on the fate of active substances under environmental conditions supports manufacturers to develop safe applications of film preservatives and authorities to evaluate its environmental impact.
