Накратко на български

Токсичните органични химикали, като забранените огнеупорни вещества в рециклираните пластмаси за играчки, се проследяват в отпадъците и канализацията. Това помага да се разбере как тези вещества замърсяват околната среда и по какъв начин достигат до хората и животните.

Synergising International Research Studies into the Environmental Fate and Behaviour of Toxic Organic Chemicals in the Waste Stream

The overall vision of INTERWASTE was to develop scientific understanding of environmental contamination with toxic organic chemicals (specifically flame retardants (FRs) and pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs)) arising from their presence in waste. Examples include the presence of banned FRs in plastic children's toys as a result of such items containing recycled plastics originally treated with FRs. Concerns also exist that facilities for processing waste may emit such banned chemicals to the environment, exposing wildlife and humans. Specific research objectives of INTERWASTE include: (a) exchange of knowledge of and best practice in methods for rapid, cost-effective identification of waste containing restricted FRs; (b) developing scientific understanding of environmental contamination due to processing of waste items containing FRs; and (c) furthering understanding of the sources of PPCPs and FRs in the sewage system to provide useful insights into human exposure to such chemicals. INTERWASTE has exchanged best practice in the techniques required to measure FRs and PPCPs, and evaluated the capability of INTERWASTE participants and other organisations to do so, highlighting some strengths but also areas where improvements are required. Particular achievements of INTERWASTE include 35 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals. It also disseminated best practice in use of wastewater based epidemiology as a tool for monitoring human exposure to FRs and PPCPs, thereby increasing knowledge of human exposure to these chemicals. The project also enhanced the career development of ~70 early career researchers, equipping them with new skills unobtainable at their employing institution, and building their personal research networks.

Цел на проекта

The overall vision of INTERWASTE is to develop scientific understanding of issues related to environmental contamination with toxic organic chemicals (specifically flame retardants (FRs) and pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs)) arising from their presence in the waste stream. Specific research objectives include: (a) exchange of knowledge of and best practice in methods for rapid and cost-effective identification of waste items containing restricted FRs; (b) developing scientific understanding of environmental contamination due to processing of waste items containing FRs; and (c) furthering understanding of the sources of PPCPs and FRs in the sewerage system. To facilitate such research on the global level required, INTERWASTE will exchange best practice in the analytical chemistry techniques required to study FRs and PPCPs, and evaluate the measurement capability of INTERWASTE participants via an interlaboratory comparison. INTERWASTE's vision will be achieved via a co-ordinated programme of collaboration and research secondments between world-leading research groups both within and outside the EU; coupled with annual workshops to discuss the latest findings. The research programme will exploit the complementary expertise of the consortium members, and in so doing foster synergies. Cross-sectoral interaction and knowledge sharing will be achieved via the participation of beneficiaries and partner organisations from both academic and non-academic sectors. All secondments and workshops will be conducted within a framework designed to maximise the training and career development benefits to participating staff by providing them with opportunities for knowledge and skills acquisition, with a particular (but not exclusive) focus on early career researchers. INTERWASTE's research and training programme is complemented by communication activities that will both disseminate project findings to scientific stakeholders, and engage the general public.
