Aryl hydrocarbon reporter gene bioassay for screening polyhalogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in hydrochar and sewage sludge
2022, Journal of Hazardous MaterialsCitation Excerpt :Upon soil application, such toxic substances will be bioavailable to crops by causing damage (e.g., phytotoxicity) and transferred along terrestrial food chains becoming hazardous to humans and the environment (Goss et al., 2013; McBride, 2003; Singh and Agrawal, 2008; Smith, 2009; Passuello et al., 2010; Protano et al., 2020; Sharma et al., 2007; Tomczyk et al., 2021). Main risk derives from the presence of non-ionic hydrophobic organic compounds, since they can be easily adsorbed by soil organic matter, resulting in a further high persistence into the environment (Harrison et al., 2006; Schnaak et al., 1997). As far as the most toxic organic chemicals, such as polyhalogenated dioxins (PCDDs), furans (PCDFs) and PCBs, the possibility to be transferred to soil together with their ability to be adsorbed on the surface of carbonaceous particles calls for in-depth studies.

2019, Waste ManagementCitation Excerpt :Signals between 0 and 47 ppm constitute the second largest region characterizing spectra (34.82 ± 5.28%) which is representative of lipids and other materials resistant to degradation (Baldock et al., 1992), but also of volatile fatty acids. The peak next to 25 ppm may be derived from CH3– and CH2– groups in lipid compounds such as waxes and phospholipids (Martinez-Balmori et al., 2014) indicating the presence of recalcitrant short chain Alkyl-C, i.e. steroid-like molecules, probably deriving, respectively, from plants (energy crops i.e. cutin and suberin) and from animal slurry (Réveillé et al., 2003) used in the infeed mixture for anaerobic digestion but resistant to degradation (Schnaak et al., 1997). The intense signal at 174 ppm, in the carbonyl region (160–210 ppm), suggests the contribution of carbonyl groups of peptide bonds of amino acid moieties in all the LF samples (Martinez-Balmori et al., 2014) according to the high nitrogen content, as well as the presence of fatty acids.
