生物炭材料在海洋石油类污染修复中的应用研究进展

时有发生的溢油事故以及沿海陆源输入性的石油污染会对海洋生态系统造成短期或长期的危害.生物炭是一种原料来源广、低成本、环境友好的富含碳的材料，是解决全球废弃物碳足迹问题的重要措施.近年来，基于生物炭的海洋石油烃修复材料被广泛关注.因此，本文将详细介绍生物炭的制备及生物炭材料在海洋石油烃修复中的应用.生物炭的制备过程中，其理化性质主要受原料类型、热解速率、热解温度和热解时间的影响.生物炭的高孔隙率和丰富的表面官能团，使其具有溢油吸附的巨大潜力.为提高溢油吸附效率，酸改性、磁改性和疏水改性等方法常用来改善生物炭的性质.此外，生物炭基气凝胶因其独特的吸附性能，也得到了广泛的研究和关注.除在水环境适用外，利用生物炭还可对沉积物中的石油烃进行封存和修复，以减少其扩散和生物利用度.多孔、富含营养元素的特点使生物炭可以作为固定化材料来固定石油烃降解菌，以减少海洋环境条件对微生物的冲击，保证菌剂的降解效率.综上，生物炭具备的各种优异性质使其在海洋石油污染修复中具有广阔的应用前景.因此，生物炭实际应用的不足及自身存在的某些性质问题，是此后生物炭的研究重点，应当给予更多的关注.

石油水溶性成分对褶皱臂尾轮虫(Brachionus plicatilis)生殖、发育及种群动态的影响

溢油污染对近岸生态系统的平衡与稳定危害极大。本研究以石油水溶性成分(water-accommodated fraction,WAF)为目标,研究其对海洋浮游动物褶皱臂尾轮虫(Brachionus plicatilis)生殖、发育和种群动态变化的影响,以期为阐明或评估海洋溢油污染的潜在威胁提供依据。研究结果表明,(1) WAF抑制褶皱臂尾轮虫的种群增长,随着胁迫时间的延长抑制作用不断增强,呈现显著剂量-毒性效应的正相关,其48、72和96 h的半数有效抑制浓度(EC_(50))分别为5.42、4.81和4.39 mg·L~(-1)。(2)WAF能显著影响褶皱臂尾轮虫的生殖和发育过程,缩短轮虫的平均寿命和生殖周期,使得进入生殖期的时间滞后,个体发育延迟;基于生命表的研究发现,其内禀增长率(r_m)、周限增长率(λ)、净生殖率(R_0)和生命期望(E_0)显著降低,世代周期(T)延长,其中r_m、λ和R_0变化较其他指标明显,可作为灵敏指示褶皱臂尾轮虫响应WAF胁迫的指示指标。     

石油污染滩涂生物体内TPH分布及健康风险评估

通过研究溢油事故污染区域中典型生物体内TPH（Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons）分布特征,对其进行暴露人体健康风险评估,从而为污染区域的生态系统修复与恢复工作提供指导依据。在研究区域受溢油污染并采取应急处置10个月后,采集了位于4个污染滩涂集中填放区和1个不受污染的对照区内的生物体和沉积物样品,采用紫外分光光度法和荧光分光光度法测得 TPH 含量。结果表明,污染区域中无齿螳臂相手蟹 Chiromantes dehaani）肌肉组织中的 TPH 含量分布范围为2.94~39.63 mg·kg-1,内脏中的TPH含量分布范围为8.62~155.41 mg·kg-1,内脏组织中的TPH含量高于肌肉组织,两者呈显著的相关性（Pearson相关系数r=0.9456）。受潮汐水动力等环境因素的影响,整个研究区域生物体内TPH的累积呈现不连续非均质特征。生物体肌肉和内脏组织中的TPH含量与沉积物中TPH含量具有明显的线性关系（y=283.3 x+100,r2=0.9901;y=60.701 x+100,r2=9038）,溢油事故造成的沉积物污染是影响生物体内TPH累积的一个重要因素。同时,采用US EPA人体暴露风险评价方法进行人体健康风险评估,结果显示,污染区域生物体内TPH经口摄入的暴露风险指数ERI均值均大于1,分别为1.13、1.05、2.58、2.73,暴露风险处于不可接受水平。根据人体健康风险的可接受水平计算得出可接受的无齿螳臂相手蟹体内TPH安全值为34.4 mg·kg-1,进一步计算得出污染区域沉积物中TPH的修复目标值为2513 mg·kg-1。     

基于发光细菌法和鱼类暴露实验评价6种化学消油剂的遗传毒性

为评价海洋溢油应急处置中所使用的消油剂的环境安全性,分别以发光细菌Acinetobacter sp.Rec A和海水青鳉(Oryzias melastigma)幼鱼为受试生物,对6种化学消油剂的遗传毒性进行检测.结果显示,采用发光细菌法仅检测到HLD-501(常规型)在浓度较高(500 mg/L和1 000 mg/L)时表现出一定水平的遗传毒性,其等效应的丝裂霉素C(MMC)浓度分别为0.039 mg/L和0.032 mg/L.在彗星实验中,6种消油剂对海水青鳉幼鱼细胞的DNA损伤率从高到低依次为RS-II(浓缩型)、RS-I(浓缩型)、HLD-501(常规型)、富肯-2(常规型)、RS-I(常规型)和微普(常规型),然而HLD-501(常规型)处理的3级损伤率最高,其遗传毒性最大.综上,采用两种不同营养级的受试生物对6种化学消油剂遗传毒性检测结果的相关度较好;本研究可为消油剂用于处理实际海洋溢油污染的环境安全性评价提供参考.

了解不同油类对虾蟹类幼体的急性毒性效应。曝油处理采用磁力搅拌器搅拌,一定时间的超声波乳化等操作,模拟溢油在海洋中风浪、涡动、湍流的乳化过程;设置阶梯浓度组,并在多个平行组急性试验的基础上,估算出8种油品对2种虾类和2种蟹类的半致死质量浓度LC50和安全质量浓度MPC,并运用程序编制溢油质量浓度与虾蟹类死亡率相关性的估算模型。经过分析,结果得到：各MPC值参差不齐,差距较大;燃料油普遍比原油的毒性效应大;相同生长阶段,蟹类比虾类抗油毒害性强、中国明对虾Fenneropenaeuschinensis比日本囊对虾Marsupenaeusjaponicus抗油毒害性强、锯缘青蟹Scyllaserrata比三疣梭子蟹Portunustrituberculatu抗油毒害性强。编制的溢油质量浓度与死亡率相关性的评估模型,简易方便直观,为渔业污染事故理赔提供了一定的参考价值,亦为海域的生态经济学评估提供了一种新的研究方法。     

The toxicity of several oil-spill removers to some species of fish and shellfish

Increasing quantities of crude oil and oil products are now being transported by sea, and this has resulted in a greater risk of oil pollution of coastal waters and has increased the dangers to marine life and amenities. With this increase in oil pollution have come various methods of treatment, among the more successful of which have been the so-called oil-spill removers or detergents. The toxicity of 12 of these materials, more accurately known as solvent emulsifiers, was examined, using 4 marine species of shellfish. Using 2 of these test species the toxicities of 3 solvent emulsifiers were examined in more detail, particular attention being paid to the time of exposure at different concentrations required to cause death. The effect of crude oil mixed with these 3 materials was also examined. Details are also given of some preliminary experiments with solvent emulsifiers on larvae of the shore crab (Carcinus maenas) and the brown shrimp (Crangon crangon).     

石油污染对土壤-植物系统的生态效应

伴随着石油的工业化生产和利用,石油污染已经成为一个严重的环境问题.本文从土壤、植物个体、植物群落与生态系统等层次对石油污染的生态效应进行了系统总结.含有多环芳烃(Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,PAHs)、苯系物(Benzene、toluene、ethylbenzene和xylene,BTEX)等多种有毒物质的石油及其化工产品进入土壤-植物系统后会发生迁移.这不仅对土壤-植物系统的组成、结构、功能和服务产生影响,也会通过食物链危害人类健康.石油污染影响土壤水分状况、孔隙度等物理性质,土壤碳含量、养分含量等化学性质,以及土壤微生物群落组成和多样性、土壤酶活性等生物学性质.通常,石油污染会对大多数植物形成氧化胁迫,影响细胞膜透性,影响光合作用等生理活动,抑制植物生长,影响植物萌发、开花和结实.由于石油污染对植物个体的不同效应以及植物个体对石油污染的不同响应,石油污染对植物群落的影响存在3种基本模式,并最终导致植物群落生物量下降,物种多样性降低,植被盖度降低.进一步影响生态系统的生产力、稳定性和健康,最终危及生态系统的功能和服务.利用微生物、植物及其联合体菌根可以对石油污染物进行生物修复和降解,添加外源营养物质和通气等措施可以强化生物修复过程.应用植被指数和红边效应等遥感方法进行石油污染的生态效应监测具有较大的潜力.总之,如何把土壤-植物系统各水平上不同指标对石油污染物的响应与石油污染的生态效应联系起来,是目前石油污染生态效应研究的重点和难点之一.因此,亟需开展多尺度的系统研究,把室内控制实验、野外控制实验和野外调查有机地结合起来,构建多层次的石油污染标志物体系,全面认识石油污染对土壤-植物系统的生态效应,为石油污染的生态风险评价、治理和控制提供理论基础和实践指导.     

Pollution,habitat loss,fishing, and climate change as critical threats to penguins

Cumulative human impacts across the world's oceans are considerable. We therefore examined a single model taxonomic group, the penguins (Spheniscidae), to explore how marine species and communities might be at risk of decline or extinction in the southern hemisphere. We sought to determine the most important threats to penguins and to suggest means to mitigate these threats. Our review has relevance to other taxonomic groups in the southern hemisphere and in northern latitudes, where human impacts are greater. Our review was based on an expert assessment and literature review of all 18 penguin species; 49 scientists contributed to the process. For each penguin species, we considered their range and distribution, population trends, and main anthropogenic threats over the past approximately 250 years. These threats were harvesting adults for oil, skin, and feathers and as bait for crab and rock lobster fisheries; harvesting of eggs; terrestrial habitat degradation; marine pollution; fisheries bycatch and resource competition; environmental variability and climate change; and toxic algal poisoning and disease. Habitat loss, pollution, and fishing, all factors humans can readily mitigate, remain the primary threats for penguin species. Their future resilience to further climate change impacts will almost certainly depend on addressing current threats to existing habitat degradation on land and at sea. We suggest protection of breeding habitat, linked to the designation of appropriately scaled marine reserves, including in the High Seas, will be critical for the future conservation of penguins. However, large‐scale conservation zones are not always practical or politically feasible and other ecosystem‐based management methods that include spatial zoning, bycatch mitigation, and robust harvest control must be developed to maintain marine biodiversity and ensure that ecosystem functioning is maintained across a variety of scales.

Current scenario and challenges of plastic pollution in Bangladesh: a focus on farmlands and terrestrial ecosystems

● A global snapshot of plastic waste generation and disposal is analysed. ● Effect of plastic pollution on environment and terrestrial ecosystem is reviewed. ● Ecotoxicity and food security from plastic pollution is discussed. Plastic is considered one of the most indispensable commodities in our daily life. At the end of life, the huge ever-growing pile of plastic waste (PW) causes serious concerns for our environment, including agricultural farmlands, groundwater quality, marine and land ecosystems, food toxicity and human health hazards. Lack of proper infrastructure, financial backup, and technological advancement turn this hazardous waste plastic management into a serious threat to developing countries, especially for Bangladesh. A comprehensive review of PW generation and its consequences on environment in both global and Bangladesh contexts is presented. The dispersion routes of PW from different sources in different forms (microplastic, macroplastic, nanoplastic) and its adverse effect on agriculture, marine life and terrestrial ecosystems are illustrated in this work. The key challenges to mitigate PW pollution and tackle down the climate change issue is discussed in this work. Moreover, way forward toward the design and implementation of proper PW management strategies are highlighted in this study.

Assessment of the conservation value of Munseom area in Jeju Island,South Korea

The ecosystem of munseom area (MA) in Jeju Island, one of the marine protected areas in South Korea, has been continuously threatened by lack of management and pollution of the surrounding sea area. As a result, the South Korean government is trying to implement the systematic management plan to conserve the marine ecosystem of the MA. This article tries to obtain information about the conservation value of the MA. To this end, this study examines household willingness to pay (WTP) for conserving the MA employing the contingent valuation (CV) approach. A total of 1000 South Korean households were involved in the CV survey using a dichotomous choice question. The mean yearly WTP for the conservation is estimated as KRW 1763 (USD 1.50) per household. The national value expanded from the sample to the population is worth KRW 34.0billion (USD 29.0 million) per year. The results imply that the conservation is supported by South Korean households.

Importance of jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas (Orbigny, 1835) in the pelagic ecosystem of the central Gulf of California

The Humboldt squid is an important predator in the pelagic ecosystem of the central Gulf of California and the commercial catch of this species has increased over the past decade, probable due to a decrease of several top predators (sharks, large pelagic fish and the marine mammals) and the optimal feeding conditions in this area. Its high abundance and important position in the pelagic food web was quantified through two trophic models of the pelagic ecosystem of the central Gulf of California. Models represented conditions in 1980 and 2002, to document the decadal changes in ecosystem structure and function. The models were composed of 18 functional groups, including marine mammals, birds, fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and primary producers. Model results show direct negative effects on principal prey groups such as myctophids and pelagic red crab and positive effects on sharks, marine mammals and specifically sperm whales. It thus appears that the jumbo squid has an important role in the ecosystem and plays a central part in the overall energy flow as main food item for most top predators, and due to its predation of organisms on lower tropic levels.     

香港的船舶废油回收技术

进港船舶所产生的含油污水每月高达６０００ｔ，其成份主要为压舱水及洗舱水，这些油污如直投弃于海中，便会对海洋生态造成严重破坏，因此，文章讨论一些常用的船舶废油处理技术。船舶废油回收是防止船舶油污染的最佳方法，但船舶废通常被乳化，便回收再造过程更繁复，当中以加热及化学处理工序配合使用能获得良好的效果，此外，若将废油中的水份及固体除去，可再循环作为工业用燃油。
