WASTE ANALYSES ON LOCATIONS CONTAMINATED WITH HAZARDOUS WASTE IN CROATIA WITHIN PHARE 2006 PROGRAM

Andrija Stampar Teaching Institute of Public Health, Soil and Waste Laboratory, Department of Environmental Protection and Health Ecology in collaboration with Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection of the Republic of Croatia carried out a pre-accession program PHARE 2006 Development of Hazardous Waste Management System, including the identification and management of sites highly polluted by hazardous waste ('hot spot sites') in the Republic of Croatia during the period from 2010 to 2015. The aim of the project was to develop a system of hazardous waste management according to objectives and measures of national waste management strategy, which includes the criteria for identification, remediation plans and further management of contaminated sites. One of the aims was also to increase the ability of authorized state authorities and institutions for implementation and enforcement of the acquis regarding waste management. During the period in which the program was carried out a total of 262 waste samples were analyzed from different locations in Croatia. For the purpose of waste disposal by thermal treatment 43 samples were analyzed, 105 samples were analyzed for the purpose of waste disposal to landfill while 35 samples of processed infectious waste were analyzed on microbiological parameters. As a part of exceptional pollution 79 waste samples were analyzed ; contamination analysis with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH’s) was carried out on 40 samples and chromate determination analysis on six samples. Samples of unknown origin (total of 23) were identified using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GCMS). Ecotoxicological analysis was performed on ten samples. Based on given waste analysis results the need for further monitoring sites contaminated with hazardous waste in Croatia is evident.
