An Annex XV restriction dossier for cadmium in artists’ paints was submitted by an EU member state to the European Chemicals Agency ECHA. By cleaning used brushes under the tap cadmium can enter the food chain via waste water treatment and subsequent agricultural application of the sewage sludge. It was estimated that 110 kg Cd per year is spread on agricultural land via this exposure route. Other sources of Cd amount to almost 120 tons per year.
The mobility of Cd from pigments was studied in a field-like scenario by leaching experiments using soil samples amended with sewage sludge and spiked with Cd pigments in percolation columns. The redox conditions were confirmed to be the decisive factor for the release of Cd. The release of Cd from artists’ paints was in most cases 1% or lower in the experiments performed.
Cd from artists’ paints in sewage sludge applied in agriculture will be mobilized for intake by crops or to leaching either by oxidation of sulfide to sulfate or by dissolution at lower pH values. The quantity of Cd from artists’ paints calculated in the restriction dossier is however negligible compared to other sources of Cd to agricultural soil. Therefore ECHA did not consider the proposed restriction to be the most appropriate EU wide measure to address the negligible level of risk. In the presentation sources of Cd on agricultural land will be discussed together with possible policy instruments to mitigate such emissions.
Für Sportböden in Außenanlagen haben sich Kunststoffbeläge und Kunststoffrasenbeläge als extrem nutzungsoptimierte Bodenbeläge bewährt. Neben der Benutzungsqualität ist auch die Bewertung möglicher negativer Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt durch produktionsbedingt enthaltene Schadstoffe notwendig. Sportböden auf Kunststoffbasis sind durch mehrlagige Aufbauten gekennzeichnet. Schadstoffe können in den oberen Lagen in den dort als Füllstoff verwendeten Gummigranulaten vorhanden sein. Die Gesamthöhe dieser Schichten umfasst in der Regel maximal 10 cm. Inhaltsstoffe können durch Regenwasser mobilisiert und mit dem Sickerwasser in den Boden und in das Grundwasser eingetragen werden. Durch eine Kombination von Elutionstests und numerischer Modellierung kann das Mobilisierungs- und Transportpotential ermittelt werden, um eine Boden- und Grundwassergefährdungsabschätzung auf Basis einer Sickerwasserprognose vorzunehmen.
Die hier vorgestellte Studie „Umweltverträglichkeit von Kunststoffbelägen auf Sportfreianlagen- Modellierung der Stofffreisetzung aus Sportböden auf Kunststoffbasis zur Bewertung der Boden- und Grundwasserverträglichkeit“befasst sich ausschließlich mit der Stofffreisetzung und den Pfad Boden-Grundwasser (Boden- und Grundwasserschutz). Der Pfad Boden-Mensch und Belange des Gesundheitsschutzes sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Untersuchungen.
In order to estimating the amount and kind of emissions from polymeric sporting tracks a laboratory test was developed in BAM that combines artificial weathering and subsequent batch and column tests [1, 2, 3]. The goal consisted in nvestigating a possible change of emissions into soil and groundwater of a new sporting ground as a function of ageing and egradation of the system. At various stages of the weathering, the samples were removed and subjected to especially designed column extraction tests for the solid samples. Both these extracts and the accumulated rainwater run-off of the weathering device were subjected to analytical tests of their ingredients. The overall aim of the test consisted in developing ontrollable, reproducible, and standardisable conditions and methods of investigation that would allow an estimation of the emissions in the course of outdoor application of about five years.
The industrial sector of bottom ash (BA) treatment from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) in Germany is currently changing. In order to increase the recovery rates of metals or to achieve a higher quality of mineral aggregates derived from BA, new procedures have been either implemented to existing plants or completely new treatment plants have been built recently. Three treatment trains, which are designated as entire sequences of selected processing techniques of BA, are introduced and compared. One treatment train is mainly characterized by usage of a high speed rotation accelerator whereas another is operating completely without crushing. In the third treatment train the BA is processed wet directly after incineration. The consequences for recovered metal fractions and the constitution of remaining mineral aggregates are discussed in the context of legislative and economical frameworks. Today the recycling or disposal options of mineral residues still have a high influence on the configuration and the operation mode of the treatment trains of BA despite of the high value of recovered metals.
