  1. SEGH 2010 29th June 2010 NUI, Galway Identifying human impacts on the pollution status of cork forests Iain McLellan1, Andrew Hursthouse1, C Morrison1, C Silva Pereira2,A Hassen3, V Mazzoleni4, M Blahgen5, A Valera2, C Rodrigues2, C Leitão2, H I Ouzari3, A Jaouani3, N Gaâmour3, M D Fumi4, E Novelli4, M Trevisan4 and K Lyamiuoli5 University of the West of Scotland, Paisley, UK Institudo de Biologia Experimental e Tecnológica, Oeiras, Portugal Centre de Recherche en Sciences et Technolgies de l’Eau, Solimnen, Tunisia UniversitàCattolica del SacroCuore, Piacenza, Italy University Hassan II, Casablanca, Morocco

  2. Project • Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Tunisia, UK • NATO Science for Peace Case study evaluation Tunisia Sampling UK Bulk soil simulation Portugal, Tunisia Monitoring & Optimisation Portugal, UK Bioaccumulation UK Dissemination Portugal, Tunisia, UK Project Management Portugal, Tunisia Chemical Analysis UK Microbial Analysis Portugal Bioremediation Portugal

  3. Rationale • Cork • Quercussuber • Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, • Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria • Human influence • Where do we look? • How do we deal with it? • Cork taint • Chlorophenols & chloroanisoles • Metals • As, Zn, Pb etc

  4. Tunisian samples

  5. AînHamraia

  6. FejErrih

  7. RasRajel

  8. Sardinian samples

  9. Sardinian samples

  10. Pentachlorophenol - Cl - H - Cl - OH + OH + Cl + CH3 - H + CH3 - Cl - Cl - Cl - Cl - H + CH3

  11. Pentachlorophenol • HPLC-UV/Vis • Identification on k and α PCP:TBP standard AînHamraia RasRajel 2

  13. Elemental Analysis RasRajel (mg/kg) Cr Pb Zn Mn Sardinia Al Fe Ca Tunisia

  14. Sardinia - PCA • PC 1: Low Al, Fe, Na & Cr = High Pb, Ba, Sr & Ca • PC 2: Low K & Ti = High Zn, Mn & Mg • Geology of area: unequigranularmonzogranite • Both PCs are related to geology • PC1: Biotite, albite, apatite and anorthite • PC2: Ilmenite and titanite • Both PCs are related to geology • PC1: Biotite, albite, apatite and anorthite • Both PCs are related to geology Cu, V, B, Ni, Co & Li In Sardinian samples not Tunisian samples

  15. Tunisia - PCA AȋnHamraia • PC 1: High Ba, Mn, Mg, Ca, K & Na = low Al (50% variance) • PC 2: High Fe = low Ti (33% variance) • Pb, Cr, Sr & Zn all <MDL FejErrih • PC 1: High Pb, Al, Fe, Ti = low Zn, Mn, Sr & Ca (53% variance) • PC 2: Ba, Mg & Na (27% variance, all related) • PC 3: K (16% variance, distinct K source?) • Cr < MDL RasRajel • PC 1: High Mg, Al, Fe, K, Ti & Cr = low Pb, Zn, Ba, Sr & Ca • (84% variance) • PC 2: Mn & Na (15% variance, distinct Mn source?)

  16. Future work & conclusions • Human impact • Other pesticides? • Geology v input • Cork bark • Transport
