红枫湖流域表层沉积物中全氟化合物的污染特征

PFCs(perfluorinated compounds, 全氟化合物)因具有持久性、生物富集效应和毒性而受到环境科学领域的普遍关注. 采用超高效液相色谱-串联质谱联用仪(UPLC-MS/MS)并结合固相萃取的方法,对贵阳市主要饮用水水源地——红枫湖主要入湖支流及湖区表层沉积物中10种PFCs的质量分数进行了检测,分析了其污染水平、空间分布及组成特征. 结果表明,各采样点w(∑PFCs)(10种PFCs的总质量分数)为0.27~1.65 ng/g,其中PFBA(全氟丁酸)、PFPeA(全氟戊酸)、PFOA(全氟辛酸)、PFBS(全氟丁烷磺酸)、PFOS(全氟辛烷磺酸)及PFHxA(全氟己酸)不仅检出率高,而且对各采样点w(∑PFCs)的贡献较大,是红枫湖表层沉积物中主要的PFCs;受湖区水文水动力条件及沉积物有机质的影响,北湖表层沉积物中w(∑PFCs)高于南湖,并且全湖w(∑PFCs)的最高值位于出湖口处,达到1.65 ng/g;红枫湖流域表层沉积物中的w(PFOA)和w(PFOS)分别为0.07~0.51和nd(未检出)~0.16 ng/g,与国内外其他流域相比处于较低水平;大气沉降可能是红枫湖流域PFCs的主要来源.      

淮河流域土壤中全氟化合物的空间分布及组成特征

为了阐明淮河流域土壤中全氟化合物(PFCs)的暴露特征和潜在来源,2008年10月在淮河安徽段共采集了18个表层土壤样品,通过离子燃烧色谱(CIC)测定总氟(TF)和可提取有机氟(EOF),以及采用高效液相色谱/质谱联用(HPLC/MS-MS)分析了16种PFCs,其中11种PFCs有不同程度的检出.PFCs含量为n.d.～1.22 ng·g-1,其中全氟辛酸(PFOA)、全氟壬酸(PFNA)和全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)是主要的PFCs.在这些土壤样品中,PFCs含量相差不大,但组成不一,主要来源于周边小型化工厂的排放以及大气的干湿沉降.利用氟原子质量平衡原理,分析得出PFCs占EOF比例为0.3%,EOF占TF比例为0.02%,一方面说明除PFCs外仍有很大一部分可提取有机氟难以定性和定量,且离子态氟及未提取出的有机氟是TF的主要成分,另一方面受现有标准物质和检测技术限制,尚不能完全甄别和分析出PFCs的含量及未知的有机氟.

深圳市表层土中氟化物组成及分布

为探究深圳市表层土中氟化物的组成及其与土壤性质参数(有机碳和pH值)的相关关系,应用氟离子选择电极法测定了深圳市表层土中总氟(TF)、可萃取有机氟(EOF)的含量,用固相萃取分离富集与高效液相色谱串联质谱的方法分析了深圳市表层土中全氟化合物(PFCs)的残留水平.结果表明,深圳市表层土中氟化物主要以无机态存在,呈TF>>EOF>> IF(可鉴别F,即以氟计量的总PFCs)的分布规律; EOF仅占TF的0.04%,IF占EOF的0.32%,显示近99.7%的EOF仍属未知.深圳市表层土中PFOA、PFOS分别占∑PFCs的43%(18%~100%)和20%(n.d.~44%),是表层土中主要的PFCs污染物,就空间分布而言,∑PFCs呈西高东低的趋势.表层土中EOF和∑PFCs含量受土壤性质参数的影响,pH值与EOF(P<0.05)、∑PFCs(P<0.01)含量呈负相关,有机碳则与EOF、∑PFCs呈正相关(P<0.01).     

钱塘江(杭州段)表层水中全氟化合物的残留水平及分布特征

为探究钱塘江(杭州段)表层水中全氟化合物(PFCs)的污染特征,应用固相萃取净化、富集与超高效液相色谱-串联质谱联用相结合的方法,对14个监测断面采集于2014年7月和2015年1月的表层水样品中16种PFCs进行了分析,研究其残留水平和分布规律.监测结果显示钱塘江(杭州段)表层水有8种PFCs不同程度的检出,包括C4和C8全氟烷基磺酸以及C4~C9全氟烷基羧酸,均为中短链PFCs.ΣPFCs质量浓度范围为0.98~609 ng·L~(-1),其中全氟辛酸(PFOA)质量浓度范围0.59~538 ng·L~(-1),为主要污染因子,全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)检出浓度较低,为0~2.48 ng·L~(~(-1)).污染物空间分布略有差异,位于上游兰江的兰江口和将军岩断面检出浓度较高,总体上呈现上游高于下游的趋势.特征组分含量比率显示流域内工业污废水排放是水体中PFCs残留的主要来源.钱塘江(杭州段)水体中PFCs污染与钱塘江流域上游产业布局密切相关,主要污染输入来自上游兰江,沿途吸纳的含PFCs的污废水对水体污染有一定影响.研究结果表明钱塘江水体中存在着广泛的PFCs特别是PFOA污染,需要有关部门引起足够的重视.     

黄淮平原农田土壤中多环芳烃的分布、风险及来源

对227个黄淮平原农田表层土壤样品中16种多环芳烃(PAHs)含量进行了调查,并对其致癌风险和来源等进行了分析.结果表明,有15种PAHs被普遍检出,各单体检出率在23.3%~100%之间(苊烯未检出).土壤中PAHs总量(∑PAHs15)为33.44~1246μg/kg,平均值为152.4±166.2μg/kg,且以4环及4环以上PAHs为主,其中16.7%的样品中PAHs含量达到了污染水平(>200μg/kg),与国内外其他地区相比,黄淮平原农田土壤中PAHs含量处于相对较低水平.黄淮平原农田土壤7种致癌性PAHs毒性当量浓度(TEQBap)占总毒性当量浓度的98.27%,其中苯并(a)芘(Bap)潜在致癌风险最大.同分异构体比值法和主成分分析结果表明黄淮平原农田土壤中PAHs的主要来源是汽油、柴油高温燃烧、以及煤和秸秆燃烧.相关性分析表明有机质含量与∑PAHs15及PAHs单体含量具有显著相关性,表明有机质是影响PAHs在土壤中含量、空间分布及归趋的一个重要因素.     

不同功能区表层土中全氟化合物污染指纹及其来源解析

为探究区域功能对其表层土中全氟化合物(perfluorinated compounds,PFCs)污染指纹与含量水平的影响,采用固相萃取分离富集、高效液相色谱-质谱联用与源解析相结合的方法,分析了深圳市公园、居民小区、十字路口、工厂周边4个功能区和城市背景共76份表层土中14种PFCs的含量.结果表明,深圳市表层土总PFCs(ΣPFCs)含量受区域功能影响显著,呈工厂周边(P<0.001)>>十字路口(P<0.01)>>居民小区(P<0.05)>>公园>城市背景的分布.其中工厂周边、居民小区、公园表层土中PFCs呈中链(P<0.05)>>长链>短链的分布,而十字路口则呈中链≈短链(P<0.05)>>长链的分布.同时,以全氟辛烷磺酸、全氟辛酸、全氟十三酸为主要标志物的3个主成分可以解释深圳表层土超过81%的ΣPFCs,十字路口以及电镀、油漆厂周边表层土呈现出较清晰的PFCs污染指纹.     

深圳近岸海域全氟化合物的污染特征

为探究深圳近岸海域全氟化合物(perfluorinated compounds,PFCs)的污染特征,2013年9月采集了深圳近岸(离岸﹥2km)10份表层海水和7份表层沉积物.采用固相萃取分离、富集,结合高效液相色谱-质谱联用的方法测定了其中16种PFCs的含量.结果表明,表层海水中有10种PFCs不同程度地检出,包括C4、C6和C8全氟磺酸盐(perfluorinated sulfonates,PFSAs)和C5~C11全氟羧酸(perfluorinated carboxylic acids,PFCAs).ΣPFCs质量浓度范围在1.74~14.7 ng·L-1之间,其中PFBS、PFOS和PFOA是主要的PFCs.ΣPFCs质量浓度分布呈西高东低的态势,伶仃洋和深圳湾ΣPFCs质量浓度显著高于大亚湾和大鹏湾(P0.05),距岸越远ΣPFCs质量浓度越低.表层海水中PFCs可能主要来自于近岸污水的排放以及河流入海的输入.表层沉积物中有8种PFCs不同程度地检出,包括C6和C8PFSAs和C5,C6,C8~C11PFCAs.ΣPFCs含量范围在2.22~2.62μg·kg-1之间,其中PFOS是主要的PFCs.ΣPFCs含量变化很小,可能主要来自对上覆海水中PFCs的吸附.沉积物吸附PFCs的能力随碳链长度增加而增强,且相同碳链长度的情况下,PFSAs较PFCAs更易于被吸附.此外,不同近岸海域PFCs质量浓度比较结果表明,深圳近岸海域表层海水PFBS污染较为严重,而沉积物PFOS含量与其他海域相差不大.     

乌鲁木齐地区土壤中有机氯农药残留特征及来源分析

在乌鲁木齐地区,采集了28个表层土壤样品,采用气相色谱法对土壤中有机氯农药残留进行了分析,揭示了乌鲁木齐地区土壤中有机氯农药的残留水平,分布及来源.结果表明,研究区域内土壤中DDTs,HCHs和甲氧滴滴涕均有较高的检出率(68%~93%),是土壤中的主要污染物.乌鲁木齐表层土壤中OCPs的含量在16.40~84.86μg/kg,平均值为(41.89±16.25)μg/kg.有机氯组成特征表明,土壤中有机氯农药残留主要来源于历史上的使用.土壤有机碳是影响有机氯分布的重要因素.与国内外同类研究及中国土壤环境质量标准相比较发现,研究区土壤中DDTs、HCHs的残留均处于较低水平.     

芜湖市交通区表层土壤多环芳烃与黑碳研究

采集芜湖市交通区和对照绿地共40个表层土壤（0~5cm）样品.应用气相色谱-质谱联用仪（GC-MS）测定样品中26种多环芳烃（PAHs）及甲基多环芳烃的浓度,应用化学热氧化法（CTO-375,BC_CTO）、湿化学氧化法（K₂Cr₂O₇/H₂SO₄,BC_Cr）分别测定样品中黑碳（BC）的含量,分析交通区表层土壤PAHs、BC的分布特征、影响区域、相互关系,并利用石油污染指标、多特征比值、正定矩阵因子分解法（PMF）对表层土壤样品中的PAHs进行来源解析.结果表明：表层土壤中PAHs、BC_Cr、BC_CTO的含量均值分别为3.63μg/g,10.23g/kg,2.93g/kg,浓度范围分别为0.075~28.76μg/g,3.78~27.13g/kg,1.07~10.36g/kg.土壤中PAHs、BC的浓度受距路远近影响,距路越近,浓度越高;且呈现出重要交通节点、路口 > 干路、支路 > 绿地的趋势,干支路无显著差异;车流量不是影响交通区土壤PAHs、BC浓度的决定因素,车辆的运行状态是其主导因素.土壤中PAHs以中高环为主.表层土壤中PAHs与两类BC都具有较好的相关性,对照绿地相关性不显著,表明BC对PAHs在土壤中的累积有重要影响,但受其他因素干扰.源解析表明表层土壤样品中PAHs主要来源于交通源.     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

A field study was conducted in the Taihu Lake region, China in 2004 to reveal the organochlorine pesticide concentrations in soils after the ban of these substances in the year 1983. Thirteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in soils from paddy field, tree land and fallow land. Total organochlorine pesticide residues were higher in agricultural soils than in uncultivated fallow land soils. Among all the pesticides, ΣDDX (DDD, DDE and DDT) had the highest concentration for all the soil samples, ranging from 3.10 ng/g to 166.55 ng/g with a mean value of 57.04 ng/g and followed by ΣHCH, ranging from 0.73 ng/g to 60.97 ng/g with a mean value of 24.06 ng/g. Dieldrin, endrin, HCB and α-endosulfan were also found in soils with less than 15 ng/g. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT in soils under three land usages were: paddy field ＞ tree land ＞ fallow land, indicating that land usage inlfuenced the degradation of DDT in soils. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT ＞1, showing aged residues of DDTs in soils of the Taihu Lake region. The results were discussed with data from a former study that showed very low actual concentrations of HCH and DDT in soils in the Taihu Lake region, but according to the chemical half-lives and their concentrations in soils in 1980s, the concentration of DDT in soils seemed to be underestimated. In any case our data show that the ban on the use of HCH and DDT resulted in a tremendous reduction of these pesticide residues in soils, but there are still high amounts of pesticide residues in soils, which need more remediation processes.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.
