Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The amount of Tributyl phosphate in the infiltrating water detected after infiltration was found to be 0.1 µg/L. This water was collected from well 8 in North Holland .

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
After Tributyl phosphates passage through a soil containing a mixture of fine-grained dune sand, clay and peat, 0.1 µg/L was found in the infiltrating water detected after infiltration at Well 8 in North Holland.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to measure the effects of soil of the dunes on the removal and modification of organic compounds (including Tributyl phosphate) present in water of the river Rhine during dune-infiltration as a treatment step in drinking water production. This was performed to indicate potentially harmful compounds that occur regularly in water of the river Rhine and in spite of soil passage may occur in drinking water derived from that source. The study was performed in North Holland. The soil of infiltration terrain consists of fine-grained sand mixed with clay and lens-shaped peat-layers.

0.1 µg/L of Tributylphosphate was found in the infiltrating water detected after infiltration at Well 8 in North Holland.
