Organic micropollutants and heavy metals in stormwater runoff of five different catchment types in Berlin (Germany)
<p>This dataset includes concentrations of micropollutants (67), heavy metals (8) and standard parameters (9) for stormwater runoff taken from separated sewers of five catchments between 3 and 37 ha in Berlin (Germany). It also includes rain data of analyzed events as separate file. Samples were taken as part of the OgRe research project of Kompetenzzentrum Wasser Berlin (<a href="https://www.kompetenz-wasser.de/en/project/ogre/">www.kompetenz-wasser.de/en/project/ogre/</a>) in 2014 and 2015. Sampling and analytical methods are detailed in "Concentrations of micropollutants in urban stormwater runoff of different land uses" (<a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/w13091312">https://doi.org/10.3390/w13091312</a>). A dataset with concentrations of the urban stream Panke in Berlin during dry and wet weather (samples were taken as part of the same project) is available separately (<a href="https://zenodo.org/record/4633779">https://zenodo.org/record/4633779</a>).</p> <p><strong>Description of fields (concentrations):</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>SampleID</strong>: unique sample identifier</li> <li><strong>SiteID</strong>: unique site identifier (catchment type) <ul> <li> 1 - OLD: area with typical five-storey perimeter blocks built between 1870 and 1930 (31 ha)</li> <li> 2 - NEW: newer area of 4-8-storey concrete slab buildings built between 1960 and 1980 (16 ha)</li> <li> 3 - STR: 1.3 km of a busy streeat with intersection with traffic lights and bus stops (3 ha)</li> <li> 4 - OFH: a residential area characterized by one-family houses and villas with gardens (17 ha)</li> <li> 5 - COM: a commercial and industrial area of high imperviousness with large flat-roof buildings and yards (37 ha)</li> <li> 6 - PNK: urban stream Panke (characterized by strong stormwater inputs from separate sewer discharges - available in separate dataset)</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>LocalDateTime</strong>: start time of sampling (local)</li> <li><strong>DateTimeUTC</strong>: start time of sampling (UTC)</li> <li><strong>UTCOffset</strong>: UTC offset to local time in h</li> <li><strong>SampleType</strong>: either "composite" for volume proportional composite sample (all samples from storm sewers) or "single" for grab sample (all stream samples, separate dataset)</li> <li><strong>VariableName</strong>: name of analysed substance/parameter</li> <li><strong>UnitsAbbreviation</strong>: either "ug/L" (microgram per litre) or "mg/L" (milligram per litre)</li> <li><strong>CensorCode</strong>: either "lt" (less than) for concentration below detection limit (value is detection limit) or "nc" (not censored) for concentration above detection limit</li> <li><strong>DataValue</strong>: measured value (if censor code is lt, value indicates detection limit)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Description of fields (rain data):</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>SampleID</strong>: sample identifier of matching sample (see above)</li> <li><strong>SiteID and SiteName</strong>: unique site identifier and name (catchment type) (see above)</li> <li><strong>tBeg_rain, tEnd_rain</strong>: begin and end of rain event in local time</li> <li><strong>depth.mm</strong>: rain depth of rain event in mm</li> <li><strong>duration_rain.h</strong>: duration of rain event in h</li> <li><strong>intensity_max_10min.mm_h</strong>: maximum rain intensitity of rain event in 10-min interval in mm/h</li> <li><strong>intensity_mean_event.mm_h</strong>: mean rain intensitity of rain event in mm/h</li> <li><strong>ADD.d</strong>: number of antecedent dry days in days</li> </ul> <p>Rain data was collected by rain gauge network of Berlin waterworks (>40 gauges) — gauge with best correlation between rain depth and event volume in storm sewer was chosen (distances to monitoring sites: 2–6 km).</p> <p>Two data files are provided in comma separated format:</p> <ul> <li>"OgRe_drain.csv" contains concentrations of all stormwater runoff samples taken in separate storm sewers</li> <li>"OgRe_rain.csv" contains rain data for all stormwater runoff samples</li> </ul>
Table S27: Target and identified unknown organic micropollutants detected in surface water samples taken during heavy rain events
<p>In the following table, peak intensities of detected organic micropollutants in water samples are displayed.</p> <p>This data table is part of the appendix of Chapter 4 of the PhD thesis “Novel approaches to identify drivers of chemical stress in small rivers” by Liza-Marie Beckers prepared at RWTH Aachen University and at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research-UFZ. In Chapter 4, precipitation-related pollutant patterns and indicator compounds during heavy rain events were identified in the Holtemme River by nontarget screening and cluster analysis. The table contains peak heights of organic micropollutants detected in water samples taken during heavy rain events in the Holtemme River (Saxony – Anhalt, Germany). The table is structured into the following columns: Compound name, use class of compound (e.g., pharmaceutical or pesticide), distinction between target or identified unknown compounds, mass-to-charge ratio (m/z), retention time (RT), assignment to a pattern identified by cluster analysis (i.e., “Base” or “Quick”), the probability of belonging to the assigned pattern as number between 0 and 1 as well as the peak height of the compound in each sample. The samples are indicated by "B" for "bottle" and a number from 1-16. The use class “NA” indicates that now major use class for this compound could be identified.</p> <p>The sampling was triggered by combined sewer overflow at a wastewater treatment plant upstream of the sampling point. Samples were taken by an automated sampler in 30-min composite samples for 8 hours resulting in 16 samples per rain event. In total, 6 heavy rain events from May to September 2016 were sampled during this study. The table is divided into 6 subtables (i.e., Table S27 A-F). Each subtable displays compounds and their peak heights detected in samples from one heavy rain event. The different rain events are abbreviated by the sampling date:</p> <p>Table S27A displays results from the rain event samples May 29<sup>th</sup> 2016 : E2905</p> <p>Table S27B displays results from the rain event samples June 01<sup>st</sup> 2016 : E0106</p> <p>Table S27C displays results from the rain event samples June 24<sup>th</sup> 2016 : E1306</p> <p>Table S27D displays results from the rain event samples June 13<sup>th</sup> 2016 : E2406</p> <p>Table S27E displays results from the rain event samples July 13<sup>th</sup> 2016 : E1307</p> <p>Table S27F displays results from the rain event samples September 17<sup>th</sup> 2016 : E1709</p> <p>Chemical analysis of the water samples was performed by liquid chromatography (UltiMate 3000 LC system (Thermo Scientific)) coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (Q Exactive Plus, Thermo Scientific) with a heated electrospray ionization (HESI) source. Nontarget screening was performed as it allows for a comprehensive characterization of the chemical exposure during heavy rain events. However, only annotated target compounds and unknown compounds identified by structure elucidation are presented in the table. Details on data evaluation methods are described in Chapter 4 of the PhD thesis.</p> <p>Beckers, L.M. (2019): Novel approaches to identify drivers of chemical stress in small rivers.

Emissions from building materials - concentration of micropollutants and heavy metals in stormwater runoff of two new development areas in Berlin (Germany)
<p>This dataset includes concentrations of micropollutants (27) and heavy metals (7) for stormwater runoff from different sampling points at two test sites (A and B) in Berlin, Germany. Both sites are new development areas of similar size that were both constructed in 2017 (1 – 1.5 years prior to the start of the monitoring campaign). Composite samples of individual rain events were taken at three sampling points of each test site: façade runoff, roof runoff and corresponding stormwater runoff from the catchment area. Samples were taken as part of the research project BaSaR (<a href="http://www.kompetenz-wasser.de/en/forschung/projekte/basar/">www.kompetenz-wasser.de/en/forschung/projekte/basar/</a>) of Kompetenzzentrum Wasser Berlin, Ostschweizer Fachhochschule and Berliner Wasserbetriebe.

The provided data set is a collection of raw data sets based on publications referenced below. The data description is provided in the folder Data\AA_DataDescription.txt</p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>Urban wet-weather discharges from combined sewer overflows (CSO) and stormwater outlets (SWO) are a potential pathway for micropollutants (trace contaminants) to surface waters, posing a threat to the environment and possible water reuse applications. Despite large efforts to monitor micropollutants in the last decade, the gained information is still limited and scattered. In a metastudy we performed a data-driven analysis of measurements collected at 77 sites (683 events, 297 detected micropollutants) over the last decade to investigate which micropollutants are most relevant in terms of 1) occurrence and 2) potential risk for the aquatic environment, 3) estimate the minimum number of data to be collected in monitoring studies to reliably obtain concentration estimates, and 4) provide recommendations for future monitoring campaigns. We highlight micropollutants to be prioritized due to their high occurrence and critical concentration levels compared to environmental quality standards. These top-listed micropollutants include contaminants from all chemical classes (pesticides, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and industrial and household chemicals). Analysis of over 30,000 event mean concentrations shows a large fraction of measurements (> 50%) were below the limit of quantification, stressing the need for reliable, standard monitoring procedures. High variability was observed among events and sites, with differences between micropollutant classes. The number of events required for a reliable estimate of site mean concentrations (error bandwidth of 1 around the “true value) depends on the individual micropollutant. The median minimum number of events is 7 for CSO (2 to 31, 80%-interquantile) and 6 for SWO (1 to 25 events, 80%-interquantile). Our analysis indicates the minimum number of sites needed to assess global pollution levels and our data collection and analysis can be used to estimate the required number of sites for an urban catchment. Our data-driven analysis demonstrates how future wet-weather monitoring programs will be more effective if the consequences of high variability inherent in urban wet-weather discharges are considered.</p>

Monitoring of degradation of 5 organic micropollutant under a multitude of scenarios
<p>The spreadsheet contains HPLC integration peaks monitoring the photolytic and photocatalytic degradation of 5 organic micropollutants (ciprofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, venlafaxine and o-desmethyl-venlafaxine) under different conditions. The first sheets show the degradation by UV-A and UV-C photolysis and photocatalysis of each compound in individual solution in milliQ water (initial concentration of each, 2 mg/L). Later, all compounds are present in an initial mixture (concentration of each 2 mg/L, resulting in final mixture solution of 10 mg/L). The impact on degradation of adding 0.1 mM of peroxide in the solution for all 4 processes is studied. Additionally, the impact of: 1) of using simultaneous LED wavelengths (UV-A and UV-C combined); 2) using tap water as matrix; and 3) varying the initial pH for the 1st order kinetic rates of each compound in the mixture is investigated. Plots of the kinetic rate and calculations of EEO values (electrical energy per order consumption) are made. The last spreadsheets contain kinetic monitoring of several experiments performed by altering the composition of the matrix with the addition of nitrates, humic acids and bicarbonates. The data was used to obtain a surface-response box-behnken design of experiments.</p>
Selection of materials and micropollutants
<p>The selected micropollutants are diclofenac (DCF), carbamazepine (CBZ), ibuprofen (IBP) and para-chlorobenzoic acid (pCBA). The nanoparticles chosen are: α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, Mn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, CeO<sub>2</sub>, and TiO<sub>2</sub>. Additionally, CeTiOx was synthesized. Information on the nanoparticles’ composition as well as UV-Vis spectrum and calibration curves of the micropollutants are given. The qualification and quantification of the micropollutants were performed by high-performance liquid chromatography in reversed-phase using a liquid chromatography instrument (HPLC-UV Agilent 1200) and a C18 column (Microsorb-MV 100–5 250 × 4.6 mm) at a working temperature of 30 °C. </p>

Selected Fungicides as Potential EDC Estrogenic Micropollutants in the Environment
<p>The aim of the conducted studies was to check the activity of active substances of selected fungicides: boscalid, cyprodinil and iprodione and to analyze their potential estrogenic activity. The studies were carried out using two model cell lines MCF-7 and T47D- KBluc. The cells were selected for their response to 17ß-estradiol, which meant that they could be used to study estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity of chemical substances. The cytotoxic activity of the fungicides tested was assessed using the MTT test on two cell lines. The estrogen receptor (ER) reporter gene test was performed, which is referred to as the T47D-KBluc test. The E-Screen test was performed on the MCF-7 line, the principle of which is based on the increased proliferation of human breast cancer cells in the presence of substances with potential estrogenic activity. ROS content and zeta potential were also estimated. </p>
