Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) extraction of urban soils: mass balance, bioaccessibility, and cancer risk assessment of 71 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from petrogenic and pyrogenic sources
Bioaccessibility of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in soils is often determined by extraction with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD), yet there is no standardized approach for determining bioaccessible concentrations (cbio), which are either calculated or directly measured. Additionally, most studies analyze solely the 16 EPA PAH, neglecting more carcinogenic PAH with higher relative potency factors (RPFs) and often disregarding PAH sources. This study examines optimal cbio determination by providing mass balances of HPCD extraction. Moreover, this study investigates the bioaccessibility of 71 PAH in five urban soils, considering their petrogenic to pyrogenic sources and their carcinogenic potential.
Checking HPCD mass balances revealed that mechanical stress and residual HPCD can artificially increase the residual PAH content (cnon-bio), making cbio calculation using cnon-bio unfeasible. We therefore recommend re-extraction of HPCD extracts to measure cbio. The measured cbio of PAH depended on PAH sources, with lower cbio observed in petrogenic coal-containing soils. Within cbio, 7H-benzo[c]fluorene contributes most to toxicity equivalents (TEQs), while the most carcinogenic EPA PAH, benzo[a]pyrene, contributes little. Dibenzopyrenes, considered highly carcinogenic, were not bioaccessible. TEQs could only be calculated for 24 PAH with available RPFs. However, additional PAH with evidence for carcinogenicity were also bioaccessible, with 2-methylfluoranthene and benzo[c]phenanthrene reaching cbio of >1 mg/kg. Notably, benzo[c]phenanthrene is classified by the IARC as a group 2B carcinogen.
These findings suggest that particularly 7H-benzo[c]fluorene and benzo[c]phenanthrene should be included in routine risk assessments due to their carcinogenic categorization and bioaccessibility. Future studies should focus on expanding carcinogenicity data and RPF values for additional PAH.
期刊介绍:
The Science of the Total Environment is an international journal dedicated to scientific research on the environment and its interaction with humanity. It covers a wide range of disciplines and seeks to publish innovative, hypothesis-driven, and impactful research that explores the entire environment, including the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere.
The journal's updated Aims & Scope emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary environmental research with broad impact. Priority is given to studies that advance fundamental understanding and explore the interconnectedness of multiple environmental spheres. Field studies are preferred, while laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant methodological advancements or mechanistic insights with direct relevance to the environment.
