Mit der Novellierung der Bundes-Bodenschutzverordnung und der Einführung einer Ersatzbaustoffverordnung soll die ordnungsgemäße und schadlose Verwertung von mineralischen Abfällen im Boden bundeseinheitlich geregelt werden. Dabei sind die Erfordernisse des Boden- und Grundwasserschutzes zu beachten. In einer Reihe von F&E-Vorhaben der letzten Jahre wurden Vorschläge zur Verbesserung und Harmonisierung von Verfahren zur Bewertung des Eintrages von Schadstoffen in Boden und Grundwasser unterbreitet. Im Blickpunkt standen u.a. Elutionsmethoden zur Ermittlung der Quellstärke von schadstoffbelasteten Matrices. Vom DIN-Normenausschuss Wasserwesen, Unterausschuss "Eluierungsverfahren" wurden auf dieser Grundlage zwei Verfahren zur Elution von Bodenmaterialien und mineralischen Abfällen mit einer Korngröße bis 32 mm erarbeitet. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Säulenperkolationsverfahren zur gemeinsamen Untersuchung des Elutionsverhaltens von organischen und anorganischen Stoffen (DIN 19528) und ein Schüttelverfahren mit einem Wasser-/Feststoff-Verhältnis (W/F) von 2 l/kg zur Untersuchung der Elution von anorganischen Stoffen (DIN 19529). Um die Normen in den gesetzlichen Verordnungen zitieren zu können, war deren Validierung erforderlich, womit die BAM durch das UBA/BMU beauftragt wurde (FKZ 370733307). Auf der Grundlage von vier Referenzmaterialien mit anorganischen Schadstoffen und PAK wurden Ringversuchen durchgeführt. Es wurden die Kenndaten insbesondere zu Wiederholbarkeit und Reproduzierbarkeit der beiden Verfahren ermittelt.
Die Normung von Analyseverfahren ermöglicht, dass Parameter unter standardisierten Bedingungen qualitätsgesichert ermittelt werden können. Insbesondere dann, wenn Verfahren in gesetzliche Regelwerke einfließen, ist es notwendig, dass die Ergebnisse sicher und vergleichbar sind und der Aufwand im Vollzug vertretbar ist. Derzeit werden viele Parameter in verschiedenen Verordnungen nach unterschiedlichen genormten Verfahren analysiert, was die Überwachungsarbeit erschwert und zudem unnötig teurer macht. Aus diesem Grund wir eine sogenannte horizontale Normung angestrebt, bei der geeignete Analyseverfahren auch Matrices-übergreifend genormt und anschließend EU-weit zitiert werden können. Grundvoraussetzung für die Verabschiedung als Norm ist die Validierung der Verfahren. Bereits vor einigen Jahren erteilte die EU ein Mandat an CEN (Europäisches Komitee zur Normung), um umweltrelevante Parameter Matrices-übergreifend zu validieren. Allerdings konnten nicht alle für diverse Verordnungsnovellen (z.B. Klärschlammverordnung) wichtigen Parameter im Rahmen dieses Projekts validiert werden. Aus diesem Grund wurde das aktuelle Vorhaben in den Umweltforschungsplan des BMUB aufgenommen und von der BAM durchgeführt. Im Forschungsvorhaben konnten im Bereich der anorganischen Parameter die CEN/TS 16170 (Elemente mit ICP-OES), CEN/TS 16171 (Elemente mit ICP-MS) und CEN/TS 16175-2 (Quecksilber mit CV-AFS) sowie im Bereich der organischen Parameter die CEN/TS 16181 (PAK mit HPLC und GC), die CEN/TS 16167 (PCB mit GC-MS und GC-ECD) und die CEN/TS 16190 (Dioxine, Furane und dl-PCB mit HR-GC-MS) für die Analyse von Klärschlamm, behandeltem Bioabfall und Boden erfolgreich validiert werden. Die validierten Verfahren stehen nun kurz vor der Verabschiedung als EN (Europäische Norm).
Draft standards for the determination of organic pollutants in the solid matter of environmental matrices such as sludge, treated biowaste and soil have been basically developed in the framework of the European standardization project HORIZONTAL. A research project financed by the German Federal Environment Agency was initiated to finalize some of these CEN standard drafts, since fully validated standard procedures are crucial for the evaluation of their reliability in the context of implementation in legislation on environmental health.
Approach: Appropriate test materials (< 2mm particle size) were prepared and homogenized from contaminated soils, sludge and treated biowaste containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), dioxins, furans and dioxin-like-PCB and served, along with reference solutions, as the basis for international interlaboratory comparisons. Performance data of three analytical standard procedures were obtained by the statistical evaluation of results received from 11 to 29 participants per test material.
Results: The overall variation coefficients of reproducibility (between-lab standard deviations) for the sum parameters were roughly between 10 and 35 %. The variation coefficients of repeatability (within-lab standard deviations) range between 3 % and 8 % and show no trend considering the substance groups or matrices.
The highest coefficients of reproducibility were found for the analysis of PAHs, which were between 26 and 35 %, depending on the matrix, whereas 7-17 % reproducibility was observed for toxicity equivalents (TEQ) comprising dioxins, furans and dl-PCB.
Conclusions: Overall, the results confirm that the procedures described in the Technical Specifications are fit for purpose for all three matrices and that the feasibility of the HORIZONTAL approach, to cover several matrices with one standard per analyte, was thereby proven.
An interlaboratory comparison for the determination of aniline, nine methylated anilines and chlorinated anilines in contaminated groundwater (each compound between 1 µg L-1 and 750 µg L-1) was conducted as proficiency test for the selection of contract laboratories for a groundwater monitoring campaign. For the 13 participants, two different test sample series were prepared from a stabilized real case groundwater. Series A was the groundwater as sampled in the field and series B was prepared from series A by spiking with selected anilines. Homogeneity and stability investigations revealed that contaminated groundwater provides a viable basis for the preparation of ring test samples for the determination of anilines. Analytical procedures were limited to the standardized liquid–liquid extraction or solid-phase extraction in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (DIN 38407-16:1999). The robust consensus values were evaluated according to the standardized protocol of DIN 38402-45:2013. Robust reproducibility standard deviations ranged largely between 20?% and 60?% depending on the analyte. The proficiency assessment of individual participants combined the qualitative aspect of correct peak identification with the quantitative determination of individual concentrations within set limits in a unified approach. It could be shown that the accreditation status of laboratory and the existence of a standardized analytical procedure do not substitute a problem-related proficiency assessment of potential contractors.
Phosphorus recycling from sewage sludge will be obligatory in Germany from 2029. Phosphorus content determination in sewage sludge is crucial to assess the prescribed recycling rates. Currently, German law regards sample preparation using aqua regia digestion in a microwave or under reflux conditions as well as instrumental phosphorus determination by ICP-OES, ICP-MS, or photometric determination with ammonium molybdate as equivalent. However, it is questionable whether these methods are indeed equivalent regarding phosphorus quantification in sludges near the limit of 20 g/kg for mandatory recycling. To answer this question, 15 sewage sludges of 11 different wastewater treatment plants were investigated with all permitted method (digestion and measurement) combinations. Moreover, one sewage sludge was also examined in an interlaboratory comparison (ILC) with 28 participants. This study shows that the above-mentioned methods differ in some cases significantly but across all method combinations and sludges, phosphorus recovery was between 80 and 121% after normalization to the grand mean (average of 15 sludges between 85 and 111%). The ILC and the examination of 15 sludges produced largely similar results. There is a tendency to higher phosphorus recovery after microwave digestion compared to reflux digestion and ICP-OES measurements determine higher phosphorus contents than ICP-MS and photometric phosphorus determination. As a result, the authors recommend ICP-OES determination of phosphorus in sewage sludge after microwave digestion.
The total petrol hydrocarbon (TPH) content in soil is determined by gas chromatographic separation and flame ionisation detection according to ISO 16703 in routine laboratories for about 20 years. The development of the interlaboratory variability observed with this analytical procedure over 15 years in a proficiency testing scheme conducted annually with more than 170 participants is evaluated in detail. A significant improvement of the reproducibility standard deviation among participants is observed over the years and attributed to an increasing familiarity with the procedure. Nevertheless, the determination of TPH in the environmentally relevant mass fraction range between 500 mg/kg and 10 000 mg/kg in soils or sediments is far from reaching the reproducibility standard deviations predicted by the Horwitz curve. It is seen that laboratories with sporadic participation tend to report higher bias, while a core group of laboratories participating on a regular basis arrived at reproducibility standard deviations below 20 %. Results from a given laboratory obtained on two different samples tend to be highly correlated in the same PT round indicating a sound repeatability. Expectedly, the within-laboratory correlation between results from consecutive rounds was considerably lower. However, results from consecutive rounds with a temporal distance of 1, 2 or 3 years revealed largely similar correlations which suggests that the within-laboratory reproducibility adjusts to a constant level at least after a period of 1 year.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of priority organic pollutants, which contaminate environmental compartments, food, and consumer products as well. Due to their frequent occurrence associated with elevated Levels of PAHs, plastic and rubber parts of consumer products and toys are particular sources of exposure. Although European maximum levels exist for eight carcinogenic PAHs in consumer products and toys according to REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, certified reference materials (CRM) are still not available. To overcome this lack, the first CRM for the determination of PAHs in rubber toys (BAM-B001) was developed according to the requirements of ISO Guide 35. The whole process of CRM development including preparation, homogeneity and stability studies, and value assignment is presented.
The assignment of the certified mass fractions was based upon in-house study at BAM using stable isotope Dilution analysis (SIDA) gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The obtained values were confirmed by the results of two interlaboratory comparison (ILC) studies with more than 50 expert laboratories from Germany and China. The mass fractions of 14 PAHs including all REACH and GS mark regulated compounds were certified ranging between 0.2 and 15.4 mg/
kg accompanied by expanded uncertainties (coverage factor k = 2). In addition, informative values were determined for 4 PAHs, mainly due to higher uncertainties and/or lack of ILC data for confirmation. BAM-B001 is intended for analytical quality control particularly based on the AfPS GS 2019:01 PAK method and contributes to improve the chemical safety of consumer products including toys.
