Wastewater treatment (STEP) sludge

Do you want to quantify the environmental impact of sludge from wastewater treatment plants?

Regulation

• Waste hazard classification, SEVESO status
  • • European Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC
    • Regulation 1357/2014/EU
    • Decision 2014/955/EU
• INERIS-DRC-15-149793-06416A report of 4 February 2016  - "Regulatory classification of waste - application guide for hazard property characterisation"

Our adapted analytical offer

Our experts give you the advice you need.

• HP1: Explosive
• HP2: Oxidising
• HP3: Flammable
• HP4: Irritant – Skin irritation and eye damage
• HP5: Specific toxicity
• HP6: Acute toxicity
• HP7: Carcinogenic
• HP8: Corrosive
• HP9: Infectious
• HP10: Toxic for reproduction
• HP11: Mutagenic
• HP12: Release of an acute toxic gas
• HP13: Sensitising
• HP14: Ecotoxic
• HP15: Aforementioned hazardous properties not present in the original waste

For the HP 14, current protocol proposed by Pandard et al (2006).

• Indirect approach, study on leaching eluates
  • Daphnia: mobility of Daphnia Magna – NF EN ISO 6341
  • Algae: growth of Pseudokirchneriella Subcapitata – ISO 8692
  • Microtox: luminescence of Vibrio Fischeri – NF EN ISO 11348-3
  • Cerodaphnias: reproduction of Ceriodaphnia Dubia – NF ISO 20665

• Direct approach, study on the raw sample
  • Earthworms: mortality of Eisenia fetida – ISO 11268-1
  • Plants: emergence and growth of Latuca sativa – ISO 11269-2

Complementary analyses in Endocrine Disruption

• Thyroid disruption test: XETA (OECD 248)

Evaluation of all the thyroid mechanisms common to vertebrates - amphibian embryo – XP-T90-716-1 standard.

• Estrogenic disruption test: REACTIV (OECD filing in progress)

Evaluation of all the estrogenic mechanisms common to vertebrates – fish embryo – XP-T90-716-2 standard

• Androgenic disruption test: RADAR (OECD evaluation in progress)

Evaluation of all the androgenic mechanisms common to vertebrates – fish embryo – XP-T90-716-2 standard

• YES/YAS (Yeast Estrogen Screen/Yeast Androgen Screen) test on Saccharomyces Cerevisiae yeast

Confirmation of a specific endocrine mechanism for the estrogen or androgen receptor alpha.
