Description of key information
Additional information
In the sludge from the stp of the Emscher Genossenschaft receiving the wastewater of INEOS Phenol a concentration of 1.5 mg acetone/kg ww was determined (one sample collected 2010).
Further
recent monitoring data are not available. Due to regulation
implementation in industrialized countries, the general environmental
contamination levels have decreased. Therefore, monitoring data obtained
before 2000 have to be taken with caution. Most of the available studies
are referring to atmospheric concentrations.
Acetone
concentrations in remote areas (Pt Barrow, Alaska, USA, 1967) are
reported for 0.72 – 6.96 µg/m3. At rural sites in
the USA,
acetone concentrations were determined for 0.72 – 2.16 µg/m3in
1971. Mean Concentrations at rural sites (Arizona, USA, 1982) were found
to be 6.2 µg /m3(SD: ± 0.8). Somewhat higher mean
concentrations of 28.8 µg/m3(SD: ± 4) were found at
urban sites (Tucson,Arizona,USA).
In at urban sites in Sweden
(Stockholm,
1982/83) mean concentrations of acetone in air were in the same order of
magnitude 9.7 — 46.6 µg/m3.There
was no statistically significant correlation with traffic exhaust
components as CO and benzene. Acetone was found in high concentrations
in the air of Stockholm.
Possible sources other than vehicle exhaust as solvent use,
photochemical oxidation or biogenic sources were discussed. Mean ambient
air concentrations in Northern
Italy in
1983 – 1984 were found to be 39 µg/m3(indoor,
range: 3 – 157 µg/m3) and 6 µg/m3(outdoor,
range: <2 – 16 µg/m3).
For the
fresh water there are no background concentrations available. In the USA
some
studies were performed at contaminated sites. In a contaminated well 3
µg/L acetone were determined. 0.56 – 600 mg/L acetone was measured in
landfill leachate. 0.2 — 0.7 µg/L acetone was found in six drinking
water wells in the vicinity of a solid waste landfill. In the landfill
leachate 43700 µg/L acetone was detected.
In contrast background concentrationsin
sea water are available. Acetone concentrations were determined for
0.014 — 0.052 mg/L (Straits
of Florida)
and 0.018 — 0.053 mg/L (Eastern
Mediterranean)
acetone.
2.4 – 44 mg/kg d.w. acetone was determined in soils (Colorado, USA,
1978) by a purge and trap method. Acetone occurred in all soils tested.
The addition of lime increased emission of acetone in the three acid
soils tested.
According to handbook data acetone is a normal micro component in blood
and urine, a minor constituent in pyroligneous acid and an oxidation
product of alcohols and humic substances. In Cigarette smoke 2640 mg/m3and
gasoline exhaust (partly propionaldehyde) 5.52 – 33.6 mg/m3were
determined.
There are some other studies available that are assigned to be not valid
for assessment, because of some inconsistency in the test system and
possible contamination with acetone.
