18, ABSTRACT
Post-1974 literature on wastewater treatment was retrieved fay on-line searching of
eight databases. From 1,000 articles critically examined, 600 were used to "generate a
three-tiered permutated index keyed to, and presented with the 600 article bibliography
in Volume 2; the three levels of the index are name of chemical, name of microbe affect-
ing or affected by said chemical, and treatment process involved. These same 600 arti-
cles were used to generate separate biodegradable and nonbiodegradable lists of chemi-
cals, on which a successful feasibility study was carried out to create an algorithm to
predict biodegradabillty using only substructural fragments and molecular weight. The
results of this study, in Volume 1, indicated 93% accuracy for biodegradables , but only
70% for nonbiodegradables due to the inadequate selection available. Also in volume 1
is a report .on technological advances in wastewater treatment gleaned from the 1,000
documents. In the same section, in tabular format, are references to commercial litera-
ture and some journal articles, supplied with this report to EPA, obtained by canvassing
Japanese and West German manufacturers in this field. Rounding out Volume 1 is a con-
densation of abstracts from the 1913-1974 literature dealing only with adverse effects
of chemicals on wastewater treatment, also in tabular format; it is intended to comple-
ment references to this topic in the permutated index.

                                  FOREWORD
      The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency was created because of in-
creasing public and government concern about the dangers of pollution to the
health and welfare of the American people.  Noxious air, foul water, and
spoiled land are tragic testimonies to the deterioration of our natural en-
vironment.  The complexity of that environment and the interplay of its com-
ponents require a concentrated and integrated attack on the problem.

      Research and development is that necessary first step in problem solu-
tion; it involves defining the problem, measuring its impact, and searching
for solutions.  The Municipal Environmental Research Laboratory develops new
and improved technology and systems to prevent, treat, and manage wastewater
and solid and hazardous waste pollutant discharges from municipal and commu-
nity sources, to preserve and treat public drinking water supplies, and to
minimize the adverse economic, social, health, and aesthetic effects of pol-
lution.  This publication is one of the products of that research and pro-
vides a most vital communications link between the researcher and the user
community.

      Franklin Research Center has created a permutated index of the world1s
literature on wastewater treatment over the period 1974-1979.  The three
items of information which were extracted from nearly all of 600 articles,
and used as the main levels of the index, are name of chemical, name of de-
grading or affected microorganism, and wastewater treatment process.  Each
entry is keyed to the bibliographic entry from which it derived.

                                  ABSTRACT
      This report presents an in-depth hierarchical index and bibliography of
600 post-1974 literature references on aqueous biodegradability of chemicals.
The companion report, in Volume 1, presents 1) the results of a successful
feasibility study for prediction of biodegradability solely from positive or
negative values assigned to standard molecular substructural units - also
based on these same 600 articles, 2) brief abstracts of post-1974 advances in
wastewater treatment technology plus a guide to current Japanese and West
German commercial literature in this field, and 3) a listing from the 1913-
1974 literature of chemicals with adverse effects on wastewater treatment
processes; the effects and original reference are given.

      The index is searchable at three levels, 1) chemical name or chemical
class, 2) name of microorganism, or type of microbial population, affecting
or being affected by the chemical, 3) wastewater treatment process.  The pro-
cess level is very broad in scope, including such concepts as structure-acti-
vity studies, operational parameters, inhibition/toxicity studies, review
articles, etc., but many true treatment concepts are exploded to allow easier
access to specialized technology via the terminology used in the literature.
Certain almost omnipresent concepts are retained as third levels of a parti-
cular main entry but are suppressed in the permutating process, even if they
are the only entry at the third level, and are not directly searchable.

      This report was submitted in fulfillment of Contract No. R806699-01 by
Franklin Research Center under the sponsorship of the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency.  This report covers the period July 15, 1979 to April 30,
1981, and work was completed as of May 15, 1981.

                                  SECTION 1

                                 INTRODUCTION
      This report is made up of an in-depth hierarchical index and compilation
of bibliographic citations to the biodegradability of chemical substances in
water; full-text copies of papers accompany the index and bibliographic cita-
tions .

PURPOSE

      The in-depth hierarchical index and accompanying compilation of biblio-
graphic citations were created with the intent of providing the sanitary en-
gineer, the environmental chemist, and the microbiologist with a concise and
readily accessible source of information on the biodegradation of chemicals
associated with wastewater treatment plants.

      The online retrieval of pertinent world literature covers the period
from  1974-79 as well as articles published during 1970-73 that did not appear
in a previously published EPA study in 1974 (NTIS PB-243-825).  Foreign lan-
guage articles are included to emphasize the worldwide interest of this in-
creasing environmental problem.

THE PERMUTATED INDEX

      The creation of a three-tiered, hierarchical permutated index affords
the separation of critically analyzed information and the reassembly of this
information into concise but convenient and practical units.  The various
hierarchical levels are described below.

NOMENCLATURE

Chemical Nomenclature  (First Tier)

      The final choice of chemical names appearing in the index represents a
third-generation compromise involving utility to professionals of widely di-
versified chemical background, industrial importance, an awareness of the rel-
ative insensitivity of the biodegradability of closely related homologues to
the presence of nontoxic substituents, and, finally, the traditional mechanics
of permutated index creation.

      To facilitate locating a specific chemical of interest, the following
explanatory guidelines are offered:

      a.  Many of the simpler aliphatic compounds were concentrated under

                                       1

-------
      generic names;  the exceptions were properly cross-referenced,   For ex-
      ample, oxalic acid is listed under Alkanoic acids and derivatives,
      polybasic;  whereas adipic acid,  found as a separate entry,  is  addition-
      ally listed as a "See Also" under Alkanoic acids and derivatives.

      b.  Significant subclasses within traditional major organic headings
      were accorded major-heading status as exemplified by:

            Alcohols, tertiary aliphatic
            Amines, poly-,  aliphatic
            Benzenesulfonic acid, non-linear alkyl, long chain

      c.  The major benzene derivatives appear as a condensed separate entry
      under the common or familiar name, such as Aniline and derivatives,
      Phenol and derivatives,  Xylenes and derivatives, and Benzoic acid and
      derivatives.

      d.  Aromatic compounds having more than one common functional  group and
      not sharing a common name are indexed under more than one appropriate
      entry to facilitate locating them.  Where feasible, polyfunctional ben-
      zenes have been indexed under the common name indicating the greatest
      number of substituents.

      e.  Specific pesticides are listed as cross-references under the general
      major heading of Pesticides; herbicides are subclassified by tradename
      type under the heading of Herbicides.

      f.  Surfactants are subclassified and listed as to respective appropri-
      ate ionic type.and are, additionally referred to the specific main chem-
      ical class heading.

      g.  Acronyms, such as PCB and PVA, are referenced to their respective
      complete generic name,

      h.  Extensive cross-indexing is included to assist the investigator to
      locate readily the probable source(s) of desired information.

Microbial Population (Second Tier)

      The microbial populations responsible for the biodegradation of the
chemical substances make up the second level of the permutated index.  Major
classes of these microbial populations, created to facilitate designation of
the system with the major role in the biodegradation process, are as follows;.

      a.  Activated sludge, either without qualification  (where none was in-
      dicated in the original text) or with terms to provide an added dimen-
      sion to describe the specific source and/or some process as it appeared.
      in the original study.

      b.  Microbial population, mixed, again either without qualifications or
      with descriptive terms designating the natural residence of these popu-
      lations .

-------
      c.  Mierobial populations as pure cultures, which for purposes of con-
      venience and brevity are identified solely by their respective genera.
      No further identification by species or strain is indicated in the in-
      dex, although this information in many instances does appear in the
      full-text copy of the original paper.

      d.  Mierobial populations that are significant but used less, such as
      sewage (either natural or synthetic) and lagoons.

Wastewater Treatment Processes (Third Tier)

      The third tier of the permutated index is concerned with the major sig-
nificant biological wastewater treatment processes.  Included are physical
and biochemical processes encompassing aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation,
metabolic pathways (without identification of the respective metabolites),
operational parameters of the processes, as well as kinetics of the biodegra-
dation process.  In addition, information pertinent and salient to each re-
spective study may be included to provide accessibility of this specific in-
formation to an interdisciplinary group to whom this index is of use and in-
terest.  Since this information is specific and self-limiting in its scope to
each respective study, it is not permutated against the first and second
tiers.

      In contrast, headings of major interest and importance to overall inter-
disciplinary groups (such as structure-activity relationships, review arti-
cles, sludge acclimatization processes, inhibitory/toxic effects with or with-
out appropriate parameters as preservatives, pH effect, nutritional effects,
etc.) are permutated against both the chemicals (first tier) and microbial
populations (second tier).

      In conclusion,  it is hoped that the permutated index will, indeed, pro-
vide a useful source of information presented in a logical, readily accessible
form.
