We show relevant adsorption (ads) of the hydrophobic contaminant HCB to 21 bentonite minerals. Ads varied by orders of magnitude. Highest ads was in the range of ads to organic matter. We discuss impact of various clay characteristics on ads strength. Results are relevant for POP fate and retention.

Clay Mineral–Hydrophobic Organic Compound Interactions in Miniaturized Adsorption Experiments: Exemplary Studies With Bentonites and Hexachlorobenzene Clay mineral–hydrophobic organic compound interactions were studied with hexachlorobenzene and 21 bentonites. Adsorption strength varies depending on bentonite properties. For highly adsorptive bento...

IPCP has analyzed the priority-setting procedures of IPCC and IPBES. The analysis has resulted in the identification of strengths and limitations, and based on this we provide recommendations for the priority-setting procedure of the new SPP.

We provide concentrations of 53 PCBs, annual loads, and congener patterns for five mines. 🧪

Lower-chlorinated congeners occur in highest concentrations, not the six indicator PCBs.

Single congener concentrations (pg-ng/L range) sum up to loads of 0.1-0.7 kg/a per mine due to high water volumes.

Mine water effluents are current point sources of PCBs discharged to the environment. 🧪

We provide a specifically optimized SPME-GC-MS method for sensitive analysis of biphenyl and 58 PCB congeners from small water sample aliquots with low LOD (0.004–0.58 ng/L).

Graphical abstract of the publication "Between Underground and the Deep Blue Sea: Contamination of Mine Water Effluents by Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)" published in ACS EST Water 2023. Presented is a drawing of flooded mine tunnels from which water is pumped and discharged to rivers. A low volume sample aliquot is shown for analysis by SPME. Additionally, an excerpt of a bar chart is shown with congener specific PCB concentrations.

Happy to share our new publication "Between Underground and the Deep Blue Sea: Contamination of Mine Water Effluents by Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)". 🧪
