Résumé
The study focuses on the current state of curative mud deposits in Estonia as of 2022, examining changes over the past decade and providing essential information on curative mud quality. Total of 64 curative mud samples were collected in 2022, marking the first investigation into hazardous substances such as phenols, petroleum products, and pesticides. The study encompassed analyses of organic and mineral matter content, grain size, microbiology, and heavy metal concentrations, totalling 1649 measurements. Comparisons with previous data revealed stable organic matter concentrations in lake and marine sediments over the last decade. Microbiological contamination in curative mud samples was relatively low, indicating cleanliness. Petroleum product concentrations varied, with Haapsalu at 42 mg/kg, Värska at 118.6 mg/kg, and Käina below the limit of quantification. Phenol concentrations were generally below the limit of quantification, except for Värska. Pesticides were found in Värska samples, but in other sediments, levels were below the limit of quantification. Average heavy metal concentrations in curative mud decreased between 2013-2014 and 2022, remaining below the target value. The study's results are crucial for curative mud-related entrepreneurship in Estonia, facilitating compliance with the new regulatory standards. The comprehensive data obtained will contribute to the consistency and efficacy of curative mud-related practices in the country.
