Establish the Environmental Pollutants Fingerprints Data-base

Absrtact
The purpose of this project was to work together with the governmental responsible team to establish a database of environmental fingerprints of primary pollutant sources, which could be used to search, recognize or compare characteristics of environmental pollutants. Specifically focusing on paint, dyes and colors industry(code:1810), active pharmaceutical ingredients industry(code:1821), as well as insecticide industry(code:1826), on-site surveys and process waste analyses were conducted. The works included (A) Collecting and analyzing data of these industries (B) Selecting specific manufacturers and processes (C) On site sampling and investigation (D) Lab testing (E) Establishing the fingerprint data of pollutants (F) Fingerprint data commentary After screening, 25 representative manufacturers in paint, dyes and colors industry (1810) were chosen and 56 samples were collected while 8 representative manufacturers in active pharmaceutical ingredients industry (1821) were chosen and 23 samples were collected. As for insecticide industry (1826), 3 representative manufacturers were chosen and 6 samples were collected. Regarding the results in this research, for samples from paint, dyes and colors industry (1810), we could distinguish one from another by using GC/MS to analyze their ratio of aromatic, ester, ketone compound in benzene and resin. On the other hand, traditional GC/MS methods were not applicable to those better water-soluble and non-volatile samples from active pharmaceutical ingredients manufacturers (1821). Thus, focusing on specific molecules, LC/MS with SIM mode was used while PE compounds was analyzed by GC/MS derivative method. As for samples collected from insecticide industry (1826), high divergence was observed in the assay results. Moreover, low correlation between organic composition in the waste and raw material/products indicated that the processes applied in this industry were highly efficient so that nearly no raw material or product compositions were left in waste.
