Distribution of organochlorine pesticides into the environment
Plačková, Lucie ; Stoupalová, Michaela (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
The master’s thesis was focused on the determination of persistent organic pollutants, namely polychlorinated biphenyls were detected (PCB 28, 52, 101, 118, 138, 153 and 180) and organochlorine pesticides. A total of 31 were evaluated contamination of organochlorine compounds. The level of contamination by organic pollutants were detected in 20 samples, 9 samples were sediments from the river Jevišovka, which is located in the South Moravia and 11 samples represented arable soil samples and were collected in the vicinity of this river. In the theoretical part are characterized both groups of substances, their fate in the environment and negative effects on living organisms. The experimental part focuses on the sampling procedures and processing for analysis by gas chromatography. There is described a complex analytical process involving the three extraction methods (accelerated solvent extraction, microwave extraction and ultrasonic extraction), extract purification and self-determination by gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC / ECD). In the samples of sediment were detected these PCB congeners (138, 153 and 180) and organochlorine pesticides (b-HCH, HCB, p,p’-DDE, p,p’-DDD, p,p’-DDT and o,p’-DDT).. In soil samples were detected PCB congener 28 and organochlorine pesticides (HCB, b-HCH, heptachlor, aldrin, dieldrin, p,p’-DDE, p,p’-DDD, p,p’-DDT and o,p’-DDT).

Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment of the Southern Moravia Region

Byla provedena studie bioakumulace POP v potravním řetězci a historických trendů hladin POP v sedimentech Brněnské přehrady. Současné úrovně kontaminantů byly stanoveny v jelci tloušti z řeky Svratky a rovněž byla posouzena hygienická kvalita ryb z rekreačního rybolovu. Současné úrovně POP v terestrickém ekosystému byly posouzeny pomocí analýz jehličí jako přirozeného indikátoru znečištění. Studium jedinců tří druhů dravých ptáků z ČR bylo zaměřeno na zhodnocení kontaminace těchto vrcholných predátorů POP. S pomocí analýz vybraných druhů ryb ze Záhlinických rybníků byl rovněž studován proces bioakumulace. Posouzení parametrů dvou moderních extrakčních technik a jejich využitelnosti pro izolaci POP z různých matric bylo námětem poslední části dizertace.

Sledování kontaminace Bezdrevského potoka polychlorovanými bifenyly
LET, Marek
The aim of this study was to investigate a potential impact of the old polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) dump on their occurrence in Bezdrevsky stream basin. Wastes, containing PCBs, were illegally stored in the area of ex-agrochemical factory in Lhenice village. Six localities were chosen for sampling by the method of integrative passive samplers SPMD, which provides more valuable information about contamination than commonly used grab samples. Passive samplers were exponated for 18 days in June 2017. The samples extraction was performed at the Laboratory of environmental chemistry and biochemistry (Faculty of fisheries and protection of waters), followed by clean up and preparation of these extracts for analysis with gas chromatograph coupled to tandem mass spectrometer (GC-MS/MS). Obtained data on PCBs amount in the samples were recalculated to their concentration in water. Concentration of seven indicator PCBs congeners (PCB 28 + 31, PCB 52, PCB 101, PCB 118, PCB 138, PCB 153 a PCB 180) was determined. These congeners are typical for technical PCBs mixtures which were produced in Czechoslovakia in the past. From their relative abundance, the potential source and an age of the contamination were estimated. Their total sum indicated significant exceedance of the limit only for the first locality, in the reservoir draining the dump area. There was found the concentration of 100 ng.l-1 of the 7 indicator PCBs sum. Concentrations at other localities complied with required limits and varied between hundredths to tenths of ng.l-1. In comparison with older data acquired from this area, the concentration at the first locality did not change, whereas PCBs concentration at the second and third locality downstream is currently lower than in past. Our data were compared to the latest data of PCBs concentrations in selected localities in CZ, which were received from Czech hydrometeorological intitute. From measured values can be stated, that the basin of Bezdrevsky stream and its fish pond system are not endangered by the presence of PCBs. Only two localities situated near the source of PCBs are comparable with localities in CZ which are influenced by the long term industry presence.
