End-of-life vehicles (ELV) have become a global concern as automobiles popular worldwide. An international workshop was held to gather data and discuss 3R policies ELV recycling systems, their background present situation, outcomes of related programs, the framework waste management, case studies on topics in several countries regions, well essential points comparison. Legislative systems are established EU, Japan, Korea, China, while US, is managed under existing laws environmental...
Photodebromination of technical decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE) incorporated into high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and TV casings was compared under natural sunlight conditions with that ethane (DeBDethane). BDE 209 in pulverized HIPS+DecaBDE samples degraded a half-life 51 days. In contrast, no marked loss DeBDethane occurred throughout the experimental period 224 During photolysis samples, partly debromination to nona- octa-BDE observed, however, environmentally relevant polybrominated...
To elucidate the global distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), these chemicals were determined in muscle skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) collected from offshore waters various regions world (Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Seychelles, and Brazil, Japan Sea, East China South Indian Ocean, North Pacific Ocean). PBDEs detected almost all locations surveyed (from <0.1 to 53 ng/g lipid), indicating widespread contamination by compounds marine environment. Residue levels...
Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) have been used as surfactants in industrial and commercial products for over 50 years. Earlier studies of the geographical distribution PFCs focused primarily on Northern Hemisphere, while little attention was paid to Southern Hemisphere. In this study, livers from eight species albatrosses, blood elephant seal, eggs penguins polar skua collected Ocean Antarctic during 1995-2005 were analyzed 10 PFCs. addition, comparison with samples, we liver, sera, two...
The Stockholm Convention is key to addressing the global threats of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) humanity and environment. It has been successful in identifying new POPs, but its national implementation remains challenging, particularly by low- middle-income Parties. Concerted action needed assist Parties implementing Convention's obligations. This analysis aims identify recommend research scientific support for timely Convention. We aim this at scientists experts from a variety...
Mussel samples were used in this study to measure the levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organochlorines (OCs) coastal waters Asian countries like Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam. PBDEs detected all analyzed, concentrations ranged from 0.66 440 ng/g lipid wt. Apparently higher found mussels which suggests that significant sources these chemicals exist around region. With regard composition PBDE congeners, BDE-47,...
This study investigates the presence of Stockholm Convention listed short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and their replacement medium-chain (MCCPs) counterparts in polyvinyl chloride rubber consumer products toys purchased on Belgian market 2019. SCCPs were detected 27/28 samples at concentrations ranging from <LOQ–130,000 µg/g with a median level 2.5 µg/g, while MCCPs only five <LOQ–3500 µg/g. Levels all but one below European Union’s guideline limit 0.15%, by weight, both...
The present study clearly indicated possible prolonged and chronic marine pollution by polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) unless the international regulatory measures are reinforced substantially. Fat tissues of female northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus), collected at 10 time periods between 1972 1998 from Pacific coast Japan, were analyzed for PBDEs organochlorine compounds (OCs). PCBs DDTs predominant contaminants in seal samples. detected all samples analyzed, values ranging 0.33...
