Study design
- Details on sampling:
- Sludge samples were taken from the following sewage treatment plants:
• The STP Wassmansdorf is located about 3 km downstream of the river Dahme in the area of Rudow ). STP Wassmansdorf has an average dry weather flow of 192.900 m3 per day and serves a population of about 1.2 million inhabitants;
• The STP Ruhleben has an average dry weather flow of 180.000 m3 per day1) and serves a population of 1.2 million inhabitants. This plant discharges to the Teltow Canal only during the summer season; during winter the discharge is directly into the river Havel in the north of Berlin;
• The STP Schönerlinde receives the major part of its water from the North-eastern part of Berlin, from the Prenzlauer Berg to Marzahn and Pankow. The plant has an average dry weather flow of 100,000 m3 per day and serves a population of circa 0.75 million inhabitants. The water is discharged into the Nordgraben and next it flows into the Tegeler See. The first series of sludge samples was taken on 18 April 2011. The second series of samples were taken on 23 May 2011.
Sediment samples were taken from the top layer of organic-rich fine-grained material (0-5 cm) on 7 sites along the Teltow Canal, up- and downstream of the sewage treatment plants. These were the same sites as sampled in the 2004 program (Blok 2005). In some cases a top layer of sandy material (5-6 cm) was on top of the cores, due to the opening of the Canal for heavier ships after 2005. The age of the layer was estimated to be deposited during 2005-2008, maybe 2009. The samples were taken on 30 May and 1 June 2011. During the sampling procedure the samples are deep frozen and they were stored frozen.
The control sample with silica gel was spiked just before the freeze/drying. After freeze-drying the samples were stored at 4 ºC before being sent to the analytical laboratory.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The concentraions of AHTN in activated sludge samples taken in 2011 in sewage treatment plants in Berlin were below those in samples in 2004 and in 2000. They ranges from 1.8 and 2.6 mg/kg dw. In the sediment of the Teltow Canal, which is to be considered as a 'worst case', AHTN was detected in ohnly one of the 7 samples. The decreasing trend of the concentraions that was already observed in 2004, was confirmed once more.
- Executive summary:
In 2011, the concentrations of some fragrance ingredients including AHTN were measured in sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Berlin, Germany, at two points in time and in sediment cores of the Teltow Canal in Berlin.
The sludge samples were taken in the STPs in Ruhleben, Schönerlinde and Wassmannsdorf. Samples were taken from the activated sludge tank according to a well-described protocol and freeze dried for transport to the analytical laboratory. A series of controls and checks was included to ensure the quality of the analyses.
The Telow Canal in Berlin receives the treated sewage water of the metropolis almost without any dilution. Practically the canal acts as a settling area for residual sludge particles that are discharged by the various sewage treatment plants in Berlin, and thus the canal may be considered as an example of a ‘realistic worst case’ with respect to the load of fragrance ingredients. Samples were taken of the top layer of organic-rich fine-grained material (0-5 cm) on 7 sites along the, up- and downstream of the sewage treatment plants.
The results are summarized in the table. For comparison also the results of earlier campaigns are included here.

For AHTN the local recovery in the sludge samples was in line with the expected recovery range (85-125%). Local recovery of AHTN in the sediment samples was 108%.
The highest concentration in the sediment was found 0.5 to 1.5 km downstream of the discharge point of the STP Wassmansdorf. The sediment concentrations were at or below the levels in the activated sludge of the STPs by an order of magnitude.
In 2000 and 2003/2004, similar monitoring activities have been carried out and the current results were compared to the earlier results. For AHTN the tendency to decrease was confirmed.
Also in sediment the concentrations clearly decreased and the number of samples with concentrations above the reporting limit was reduced from 4 out of 7 in 2004 to 1 out of 7 in 2011.
