We report the results of a U-series isotope study on Eemian lake sediments from Hollerup, western Denmark. The purpose is to examine the possibility of dating these, and similar, sediments with the 238U-23"h method. Two sedimentary facies were studied; carbonate-present, and virtually carbonate-free but organic-rich sediments. All carbonate-present sediments (5-95%) have (230ThP38U) values higher than unity and relatively radiogenic (23"W232Th) values between 2 and 6.5, indicating postdeposition removal of U, probably by percolation of ground water. Carbonate-free sediments, but with high organic content (40-60%) had (230Th/238U) values lower than 1 and 'model ages' between 89 and 199 ky. The large spread in ages and variation in U content for these sediment samples that were deposited over a much shorter time interval, indicate a complex postdepositional migration pattern of U, probably involving several episodes of leaching and absorption of U from ground water. Our results suggest that lake sediments, such as those found in Hollerup, are vulnerable to mobilization of U and its decay products and care should be taken when interpreting U-series disequilibrium data from such sediments. Future studies will concentrate on sediments that have been more deeply buried andor are less compacted and sealed from percolation of oxidized groundwater.

Society services activity in kitchen waste management system has been implemented to the owner of restaurant and catering work in Tasikmalaya City area. This activity has colaborated with Indonesian Catering Associations (APJI). The rapid growth of restaurant and catering activities has created serious problems of energy requirement, water, and solid waste disposal. Less information and limited area become the problems in handling of kitchen waste. A simple technique is needed to overcome the environmental problem which is caused by kitchen waste. The components of kitchen waste include vegetables, peelings, fruit skins, spoilt fruit, cooked and uncooked meat, bones, fats, egg-shells, bread and pastries, cooked food waste, etc. Due to a high organic content, bioconversion technologies such as anaerobic digestion are more suitable to handle the waste convert to biogas. It would be reducing the LPG usage. For the kitchen wastewater, grease trap as pre-treatment followed by a physical and biological process is one of a simple process which can produce the effluent in accordance with government standard. The activities were continued by the socialization of 3R program (reuse, reduce, recycle) by doing demo utilization of kitchen solid waste such as packing material, mineral water bottle is made a handicraft. Knowledge transfer run well and the enthusiasm of the participants in following the activity were very good.

Reliable prediction of time-varying pollutant loads in combined sewer systems during storm periods can aid better management of the release of pollution into natural environments as well as enhancing storage tank design. Better understanding of the behaviour of sewer sediments is crucial for the development of models that adequately describe the transport of in-sewer solids and accurately predict the changes in pollutant concentration within combined sewers during storm events. This paper reports on the results of a test programme to examine the erosion of highly organic sewer sediment under the application of time-varying shear stress. The tests were carried out with and without supplying oxygen, and varying simulated dry-weather periods. The aim was to investigate the behaviour of real in-sewer sediment with a high organic content (around 80%) in an attempt to improve prediction of the transport rates under the particular Mediterranean conditions of long dry-period/build-up and intense rainfall/wash-off, and understand how this environment affects the erosional resistance and subsequent sediment release. Results have been compared with previous work on lower organic content sewer sediments and artificial organic sediment.

Water treatment sludge from algal blooms were analyzed and compared with general water treatment sludge as the pyrolysis temperature was varied from 300 °C to 900° C. Elemental analysis showed that the water treatment sludge in the eutrophication region has ~12% carbon content, higher than that (8.75%) of general water treatment sludge. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of both types of sludge showed that amorphous silica changed to quartz and weak crystalline structures like kaolinite or montmorillonite were decomposed and changed into stronger crystalline forms like albite. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) peaks of humic/fulvic acid that indicated the affinity to combine with heavy metals disappeared above 700 °C. Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), conducted to determine the heavy metal leaching amount of pyrolyzed water treatment sludge, showed the lowest value of 5.7 mg/kg at 500 °C when the humic acid was not decomposed. At 500 °C, the heavy metal leaching ratio to the heavy metal content of high organic content water treatment sludge and low organic content water treatment sludge were 1.87% and 3.19%, respectively, and the water treatment sludge of higher organic content was more stable. In other words, pyrolysis of water treatment sludge with high organic content at 500 °C increases the inorganic matter crystallinity and heavy metal leaching stability.

Chlor-floc tablets are intended for purification of small quantities of water for individual use by combined flocculation and disinfection. Removal of Escherichia coll E25, various viruses and Giardia cysts from polluted water by Chlor-floc has been previously demonstrated. This study evaluated the efficiency of removal of Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae, Vibrio cholerae and rotavirus from simulated hard water of high organic content and colour. All four pathogenic microorganisms were successfully removed within the recommended treatment time. Log removals of 7-8 log were achieved for bacterial pathogens, and a removal of 6.5 log was obtained for rotavirus.

Reddish dust, transported by strong winds from the dry central regions of Australia, is periodically deposited in the humid eastern part of the continent. Dust sampled in snow on the Australian alps during 1968 is comparable in amount with accession reported earlier in the 1900's in New Zealand and Melbourne. The dust reported here has a median diameter of 4 pm, relatively high organic content, and mineralogy in the less than 2 pm fraction dominated by illite and kaolin. The rate of dust accession during the past was probably sufficient to have modified alpine soils. In particular, snow patch soils have a particle size and mineralogy consistent with dust enrichment. A much lower rate of dust accession seems to occur at present in Canberra on the Southern Tablelands.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a perfluorinated alkyl substance (PFAS) used as surfactant in a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. Over the past decade, concern has increased over the presence of PFOA in biosolids from wastewater treatment plants used as fertilizer on agricultural lands having the potential to enter the food chain. In this study, the uptake of 14C-PFOA from soil by alfalfa was determined, as was the bioavailability of 14C-PFOA-incurred into alfalfa in Sprague-Dawley rats. Alfalfa leaves accumulated PFOA to as high as 4-5 µg/g of dry leaf, approximately 10 times higher than accumulation in the stem. Alfalfa was ground for feeding to 15 female Sprague-Dawley rats (175-200 g). Animals within metabolism cages were fed 10 g of feed (6 g alfalfa + 4 g ground rat chow) twice a day for 14 days (equivalent to 50 ug-PFOA/kg/day). At the end of the feeding period, rats (n=3) were sacrificed at withdrawal days of 0, 3, 7, 11, and 14 days. During the feeding and withdrawal phases, urine and feces were collected daily. At sacrifice, blood, liver, kidney, adipose, muscle, skin, brain, heart, adrenals, spleen, lungs, and thymus were removed and assayed for 14C-PFOA by combustion and LSC analysis. Rats eliminated 72.8 ± 3.4% of the total dose via urine at 14-days, but urinary radioactivity fell below the LOD by day 3 of the withdrawal period. Fecal elimination was 6.5 ± 1.2 % of the dose and fell below the LOD by 2 days of withdrawal. The rapid and high elimination via urine indicates that a majority of the dose was absorbed. The uptake of PFOA into alfalfa was low from a high organic content soil, however, PFOA was highly bioavailable from the alfalfa when used as a feed component for rats. This study provides data for regulators investigating PFOA bioavailability and disposition in animals or animal products exposed to contaminated feed.
