Sažetak
Analgesics of the phenazone type, including propyphenazone, aminopyrine, and antipyrine, were determined in solid waste and leachate from the main landfill of the city of Zagreb, Croatia, as well as in soil and groundwater below the landfill. All structural identifications and quantitative analyses were performed using high-resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The analyses of solid waste revealed that propyphenazone and aminopyrine were among the most abundant specific anthropogenic compounds in the landfill, while antipyrine was detected only in trace concentrations. Since the landfill does not include any protective barrier, heavily contaminated landfill leachate plume penetrates rapidly into the underlying soil, which is composed of highly permeable alluvial sediments, and eventually reaches groundwater aquifer. As a consequence, propyphenazone and aminopyrine were determined in high concentrations (up to 67 mg/L) in groundwater below the landfill. However, aminopyrine seems to be strongly attenuated in the aquifer section near the landfill, while propyphenazone showed a rather high persistence and mobility in the leachate plume.
