What is Anthropogenic Compounds (The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry, 3 about?
The cellulose production industry utilizes large amounts and a wide variety of chemicals, operates various chemical processes and discharges large volumes of effiuents. These effiuents contain some unrecovered process chemicals and some wood extractives, as well as various extraneous chemicals which are formed during pulping and bleaching. Although the environmental significance of many of these compounds is unknown, cellulose plant effiuent characteristics which potentially impact on the environment include abnormal pH, suspended/settleable solids content, oxygen demand, toxicity, color, persistent organics which are bioaccumulable, mutagenic chemicals and a fish-flesh tainting propensity. Toxicity is primarily attributable to resin and fatty acids, neutral wood extractives and chlorinated phenolics formed during bleaching. Mutagenic chemicals are primarily chlorinated molecules. Information linking chemical constituents of cellulose plant effiuents to various other environmental effects, is sparse. Biotreatment of effiuents reduces the concentration of most chemicals contained therein, and correspondingly reduces any potential environmental impact; excepting color. Concentrations
