摘要

Over 1 million tonnes of sewage sludge is produced in the UK annually of which about 50% is applied to agricultural land (both arable and grassland). However, only around 1% of all UK agricultural land receives sludge in any given year. Its use as a soil conditioner and fertiliser is attractive economically, while also recycling nutrients and generally improving soil structure. Substantial quantities of sewage and sludges currently disposed of to sea in Europe will require an alternative method of disposal by the end of 1998, due to changes being implemented under the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive. Also, as specified in the Directive COM 911271 on wastewater treatment, the installation of treatment systems for all populations exceeding 2000 inhabitants must be installed before the end of the year 2005. As a result, UK sludge production is predicted to rise by 30-50% over the next decade, thus doubling the demand for land-based disposal options. An increase of -185% in sludge production (about 1 million ton/year) has been estimated recently for the year 2000 in Spain. Sewage sludges are contaminated with a wide range of trace organic contaminants from diverse sources, both natural and anthropogenic. Many organic components measured in sludge are thought to affect the sustainable use of soil as a result of their persistent nature. Current management objectives in Europe for the land disposal of sludge are based on providing for the nutrient requirement of a crop without causing pollution of water courses and without exceeding the soil loading limits for a number of heavy metals. The focus on organic contaminants in sewage sludge creates a difficult management problem as there are no generally accepted soil concentrations limits for organic compounds in sludges. To date, only Germany has established limit concentrations for dioxins and furans and PCBs in sludge used for agricultural purposes, and the European Union is currently studying the issue of limit concentrations for organic compounds in sewage sludge. This paper will provide an overview of soil quality issues in terms of sewage sludge application to agricultural land and its impact on organic contaminant concentrations in soil over time. The value of controlled long-term experiments to our understanding of the fate and potential accumulation of a single group of trace organics, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is evaluated. There is a paucity of reliable field data concerning the long-term degradation of organic chemicals in soil, their ultimate fate in agricultural systems, food-chain biomagnification and possible effects on biota and humans. PCB fate and behaviour has been investigated using two long-term controlled sludge experiments, namely, the Woburn Market Garden Experiment and the Luddington and Lee Valley Experimental sites. Long-term soil collections are able to place sewage sludge inputs to agricultural soils in context with 'background' PCB concentrations in surface soils by analysis of a set of archived soil samples from long term agricultural plots. These samples have been the subject of several studies on long term trends of heavy metals and other trace organic compounds in agroecosystems and their integrity has been well characterised. Analysis agricultural soils. of archived soil and sludge samples from these experiments, along with unsludged control plot soils, has provided a unique field -based insight into the long-term behaviour of individual PCB congeners in both sludge-amended and typical background UK agricultural soils.
