盐城滩涂土壤中六六六和滴滴涕的残留量测定

采集了盐城滩涂响水-滨海段化工园区周边区域内9个表层土壤样品,通过索氏提取土壤中的六六六(BHC)和滴滴涕(DDT)。最后通过带电子捕获检测器的气相色谱仪,定量分析了土壤中六六六和滴滴涕各异构体的含量及其百分比,以及六六六、滴滴涕的总含量,以了解该区域土壤中有机氯的当前含量水平和评估其潜在的环境毒害能力。结果表明,所有样品的六六六、滴滴涕总含量均远低于国家规定的土壤环境质量一级标准(50μg/kg)。     

桂林市表层土壤总汞分布特征研究

为了研究桂林市表层土壤汞污染情况,采集了不同功能区(包括校园区、风景旅游区、交通运输区、居民区、商业区、农业用地区和其他区域)的表层(0~10cm)土壤样品36个,采用硫酸-硝酸混合液浸提、原子荧光方法测定土壤中的总汞。结果表明,桂林市表层土壤的总汞质量浓度在0.136~1.873mg/kg,平均值为0.557mg/kg,中值为0.440mg/kg。各功能区土壤中汞的平均值均超过《土壤环境质量标准》(GB 15618—1995)的一级标准(0.15 mg/kg),以风景旅游区最高,为0.900 mg/kg,其次为商业区,为0.595 mg/kg。进一步对桂林市表层土壤总汞浓度与环境参数的关系进行了研究,结果表明,各采样点土壤的总汞浓度与有机质显著相关,与土壤pH无相关关系。     

晋南铬渣堆场主要植物重金属富集特征

为筛选适合山西当地气候与土壤条件的重金属耐性植物,于山西某铬渣堆场采集草本植物及表层土壤(0～20cm)样品,从中选取6种主要植物品种,测定植物地上部分、根部及土壤中4种重金属(Cu、Zn、Pb和Cr)含量,分析6种植物对重金属的富集特征。结果表明:铬渣堆场土壤Cr污染严重,平均质量浓度为2 207mg/kg,是山西省土壤背景值(58mg/kg)的38.1倍,是《土壤环境质量农用地土壤污染风险管控标准(试行)》(GB 15618—2018)规定风险筛选值(250mg/kg)的8.8倍。选取的6种植物中,狼尾草(Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.)Spreng.)、羊草(Leymus chinensis (Trin.)Tzvel.)和狗牙根(Cynodon dactylon (L.)Pers.)等植物体内Cr含量相对较高,表现出较强的Cr吸收能力。根据植物对重金属的吸收机制,羊草、狼尾草和狗牙根属于根部囤积性植物;狗尾草(Setaria viridis (L.)Beauv.)、虎尾草(Chloris virgate Sw.)和牛筋草(Eleusine indica (L.)Gaertn.)属于Cr规避型植物。     

水银法烧碱工艺遗留盐泥废物的汞污染问题研究

对某化工厂水银法烧碱关停后历史堆存的含汞盐泥的汞污染及其对周围环境介质的影响进行研究.通过对含汞盐泥、废物堆体表层积水、周边排污渠水样、堆场周围的土壤样品中的汞浓度分析,评价汞污染现状.结果表明,盐泥中含汞量高达247.09～390.28 mg/kg,必须尽快采取有效的环境无害化措施进行妥善处理；盐泥堆表层积水中汞质量浓度为0.040 6～0.125 2mg/L,排污渠中水样的汞质量浓度在0.001 1～0.336 5 mg/L,所有水样中总汞浓度都超过了《地表水环境质量标准》(GB 3838-2002)Ⅳ类标准,堆存场附近的土壤中汞质量浓度为3.42～22.54 mg/kg,远高于《土壤环境质量标准MGB 15618-1995)三级标准.因此,含汞盐泥堆已经对周围环境带来污染,需加强环境监测,并尽快采取有效处理措施,防止污染扩散.     

西江流域土壤镍含量特征及风险评估

西江流域作为广西省重要的农业生产区和有色金属矿产区,为保障土地安全利用,有必要全面了解其土壤镍含量特征和风险水平。分别采集自然土壤、旱地土壤、水田土壤和矿区土壤样品283、1 286、721、130件,以自然土壤为背景样品,进行空间分布特征分析,并进行风险评估。结果表明,西江流域土壤镍的背景值为25.60mg/kg,基线值为156.00mg/kg。不同土地利用类型的土壤镍含量表现为矿区土壤(42.50mg/kg)水田土壤(28.70mg/kg)旱地土壤(22.70mg/kg),在P0.05水平下,矿区土壤显著高于背景值,而旱地土壤、水田土壤与背景值差异不显著。中部和西南部地区镍含量较高,尤其是西南部的都安瑶族自治县和大化瑶族自治县,很多区域都超过了60mg/kg。以基线值作为标准或根据地积累指数进行评价,由于考虑了背景值,西江流域土壤镍污染水平不高。     

热解吸对土壤中POPs农药的去除及土壤理化性质的影响

为探索土壤热解吸修复技术对POPs污染土壤的修复效果及修复后土壤可耕作性,选择北京某农药厂旧址的POPs农药污染土壤,研究了不同温度下热解吸处理后土壤中滴滴涕(DDTs)和六六六(HCHs)各组分的去除率以及土壤理化性质的变化。结果表明,热解吸修复技术可有效去除土壤中POPs农药,其中,p,p’-DDE与α-HCH组分去除率受热解吸温度的影响比其他组分更为明显。∑HCH与∑DDT在310℃、340℃时分别达到97%、99%的去除率,且此时土壤中的污染物含量低于我国《展览会用地土壤环境质量评价标准》,此后去除率受温度的影响不明显。热解吸温度对修复后土壤的理化性质有一定的影响,不同温度影响的程度各不相同,其中,有机质含量与全氮含量分别由0.78%、0.0352%降至0.14%、0.0107%;pH波动幅度较小,由7.80变至8.25;阳离子交换量变化存在波动,但呈整体下降趋势,由7.87 mg/kg降至5.00mg/kg;土壤中速效磷显著增加,由7.59 mg/kg升至21.8 mg/kg。而在最优温度条件下,土壤理化性质受热解吸温度的影响较小。由此可以说明,热解吸技术可以用于POPs污染土壤的修复,选择适当的热解吸温度对土壤的可耕作性影响有限,因而是一种潜在的绿色修复技术。     

3种植物对Cd污染农田土壤的修复效果比较试验研究

通过盆栽试验研究了3种植物三叶鬼针草(Bidens pilosa L.)、紫茉莉(Mirabilis Jalapa)、中华景天(Sedum polytrich-oides)对上海地区2种质量浓度(1.2、12.0mg/kg)Cd污染农田土壤的修复效果,以探索其在上海地区Cd污染农田土壤修复中应用的可行性。结果表明:2种浓度下,三叶鬼针草对土壤Cd去除效果均最佳,1.2mg/kg处理下盆中土壤Cd质量浓度由原来的1.249 9mg/kg下降到0.861 7mg/kg,降低0.388 2mg/kg,Cd去除率为31.06%;12.0mg/kg处理下三叶鬼针草盆中土壤Cd质量浓度由原来的12.033 2mg/kg下降到10.020 6mg/kg,降低2.012 6mg/kg,Cd去除率为16.73%;紫茉莉和中华景天相比较而言,修复效果均较差。在2种浓度下,3种植物地上部分生物量排序均为三叶鬼针草>中华景天>紫茉莉。因此,建议将三叶鬼针草作为上海地区Cd污染农田土壤修复的优选植物。     

土壤中六六六和滴滴涕的堆肥生物修复研究

采用堆肥生物修复法对土壤中六六六(HCH)和滴滴涕(DDT)的降解效果进行了研究.试验结果表明,六六六和滴滴涕的降解先后经历了快速降解阶段和缓慢降解阶段;堆肥第21天后,六六六和滴滴涕降解率均达60%以上;γ-HCH降解效果最好,其次为β-HCH,α-HCH和δ-HCH的降解效果差别较大;p,p'-DDE的降解效果要好于p,p'-DDD,初始质量浓度为0.03 mg/kg的p,p'-DDT未得到降解;微生物对六六六和滴滴涕的降解作用均较明显.     

功能微生物对污染农田土壤中铅锌的溶出实验

用微生物修复重金属污染的土壤是当今的研究热点之一。试图寻找一类可以增加土壤中重金属铅、锌的可溶态的功能微生物,并研究该微生物在不同土壤含水率和不同投菌比条件下对铅、锌溶出作用的影响。最终筛选出符合条件的菌JK3,并发现当土壤含水率为35%,投菌比为0.15 mL/g土(菌液OD=1)时,土壤中铅和锌的可溶态增加量最多。其中,可溶态铅的含量由原来的0.49 mg/kg增加到了5.04 mg/kg,可溶态锌的含量由原来的2.23 mg/kg增加到了22.44mg/kg。该方法为后续用植物提取或化学淋洗等方法将土壤中的重金属彻底去除提供了可能。     

桂林市菜地土壤和蔬菜中的镍含量及其健康风险

对桂林市菜地土壤和蔬菜中的镍含量进行大规模调查,评价其污染程度,并用目标危险系数(THQ)评估通过食用蔬菜摄入镍对人体造成的健康风险。采集菜地土壤样品160个,新鲜蔬菜样品566个,样品中镍含量采用石墨炉原子吸收分光光度法测定。结果表明,桂林市菜地土壤镍质量浓度范围、算术平均值和Box-Cox平均值分别为9.01～1 200.00、39.04、25.18mg/kg,其中有14.38%的菜地土壤样品镍含量超过《土壤环境质量标准》(GB 15618—1995)中农田土壤的二级质量标准(pH<6.5);桂林市蔬菜中镍质量浓度范围、中值和几何平均值分别为0.001～0.981、0.035、0.036mg/kg,与其他城市蔬菜镍含量相比,桂林市蔬菜镍含量总体处于较低水平,通过蔬菜摄入镍的健康风险小。蔬菜对镍的富集能力以豆苗和豌豆最高,因而其抗污染能力较差,茄子、西红柿和生菜富集能力低。     

Chloroaromatic pollutants in mussels incubated in two finnish watercourses polluted by industry

Concentrations of different chlorinated compounds were measured in mussels incubated in two polluted watercourses, a river (the River Kymijoki) and a lake (Lake Vanaja) for four weeks in summer 1995. The sum concentrations of polychlorinated phenols (PCP) and biphenyls (PCB) were both about 1 μg/g lipid weight (lw) in Lake Vanaja mussels, while in the River Kymijoki mussels PCPs were non-detectable and PCBs were measured 120 ng/g lIw. The concentrations of toxic polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) and dibenzofuran (PCDF) congeners ranged between <17 and 370 pg/g Iw in Lake Vanaja mussels and between <38 and 11,000 pg/g lw in the River Kymijoki mussels. Polychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDE) were detected in the mussels incubated in the River Kymijoki (0.4–1.1 ng/g Iw), but not in those incubated in Lake Vanaja. Polychlorinated phenoxyanisoles (PCPA) were measured 33 ng/g lw and polychlorinated phenoxyphenols (PCPP) 300 ng/g lw in the mussels incubated in the River Kymijoki. PCPAs were also detected in reference samples, which were sediment and pike from the River Kymijoki and Baltic salmon, seal and white-tailed sea eagle.

Patterns of volatile metabolites and nonvolatile trichothecenes produced by isolates of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Stachybotrys,Fusarium, Trichoderma,Trichothecium</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Memnoniella</Emphasis>

We reported previously that trichodiene, a volatile trichothecene derivative, was produced by a Stachybotrys isolate, also known to produce highly cytotoxic, non-volatile, macrocyclic trichothecenes (satrotoxins). We investigated the relationship between the production of trichodiene and various non-volatile trichothecenes for several molds. Volatile metabolites were concentrated by adsorption on Tenax TA and analyzed by GC/MS, while non-volatile metabolites were separated by HPLC, derivatized and analyzed by GC/MS. Stachybotrys chartarum isolates producing macrocyclic trichothecenes secreted significantly larger amounts of trichodiene and other sesquiterpenes than isolates which only produced simple trichothecenes. The amounts of secreted trichodiene were relatively small in all cases. With the exception of Memnoniella, which excreted small amounts of sesquiterpenes, the other isolates produced varying amounts of sesquiterpenes, including trichodiene, as well as simple tricothecenes, no detectable trichodiene, but large amounts of griseofulvin derivatives. In Stachybotrys there is apparently a correlation between trichodiene and macrocyclic trichothecene production. In the remaining isolates, there was no simple relationship between trichodiene and non-volatile trichothecene synthesis. Trichodiene is produced in larger amounts by Stachybotrys isolates, which also produce satratoxins, but it will be difficult to utilize this metabolite to detect toxic isolates in buildings due to the relatively small amounts excreted.     

The chemical stability of formulations of some hydrolyzable insecticides in aqueous mixtures with hydrolysis catalysts

Abstract

The active ingredients in commercial formulations of malathion, oxamyl, carbaryl, diazinon, and chlorpyrifos diluted to “spray tank”; concentrations with buffered distilled or natural water of pH 4–9 were stable for at least 24 hr. Formulations of trichlorfon were not stable at pH 7 or above but disappearance rates were slower than for the pure chemical in homogeneous solution. Cupric ion was observed to be an effective catalyst for the hydrolysis of a variety of pure organophosphorus insecticides but did not catalyze hydrolysis of the active ingredients of the formulations examined. Increasing the dilution of the formulation increased the susceptibility of malathion, oxamyl, and carbaryl to hydrolysis.     

Organochlorine compounds in a three-step terrestrial food chain

The concentrations of 15 organochlorine chemicals (PCBs and pesticides) were studied in a Central European oak wood food chain system: Great tit (Parus major), caterpillars (Tortrix viridana, Operophtera brumata, Erannis defoliaria), and oak-leaves (Quercus robur). Juvenile tits receive organochlorines from the mother via egg transfer and, eventually to a greater extent, from the caterpillar food source during nestling period. The concentrations of PCB 153 (2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl, the most abundant in this study) was found in leaf material at ca. 1 ng/g, in caterpillars 10 ng/g, and in bird eggs 170 ng/g on an average and on a dry mass basis.     

Radionuclides and trace elements in fish collected upstream and downstream of Los Alamos national laboratory and the doses to humans from the consumption of muscle and bone

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine radionuclide and trace element concentrations in bottom‐feeding fish (catfish, carp, and suckers) collected from the confluences of some of the major canyons that cross Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) lands with the Rio Grande (RG) and the potential radiological doses from the ingestion of these fish. Samples of muscle and bone (and viscera in some cases) were analyzed for ³H, ⁹⁰Sr, ¹³⁷Cs, ^totU, ²³⁸Pu, ^239,240Pu, and ²⁴¹Am and Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cr, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and Tl. Most radionuclides, with the exception of ⁹⁰Sr, in the muscle plus bone portions of fish collected from LANL canyons/RG were not significantly (p<0.05) higher from fish collected upstream (San Ildefonso/background) of LANL. Strontium‐90 in fish muscle plus bone tissue significantly (p<0.05) increases in concentration starting from Los Alamos Canyon, the most upstream confluence (fish contained 3.4E‐02 pCi g^‐1 [126E‐02 Bq kg^‐1]), to Frijoles Canyon, the most downstream confluence (fish contained 14E‐02 pCi g^‐1 [518E‐02 Bq kg^‐1]). The differences in ⁹⁰Sr concentrations in fish collected downstream and upstream (background) of LANL, however, were very small. Based on the average concentrations (±2SD) of radionuclides in fish tissue from the four LANL confluences, the committed effective dose equivalent from the ingestion of 46 lb (21 kg) (maximum ingestion rate per person per year) of fish muscle plus bone, after the subtraction of background, was 0.1 ± 0.1 mrem y^‐1 (1.0 ± 1.0 μSv y^‐1), and was far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem y^‐1 (1000 μSv y^‐1). Of the trace elements that were found above the limits of detection (Ba, Cu, and Hg) in fish muscle collected from the confluences of canyons that cross LANL and the RG, none were in significantly higher (p<0.05) concentrations than in muscle of fish collected from background locations.     

Radionuclides in pinon pine (Pinus edulis) nuts from los alamos national laboratory lands and the dose from consumption

Abstract

One of the dominant tree species growing within and around the eastern portion of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM, lands is the pinon pine (Pinus edulis). Pinon pine is used for firewood, fence posts, and building materials and is a source of nuts for food—the seeds are consumed by a wide variety of animals and are also gathered by people in the area and eaten raw or roasted. This study investigated the (1) concentration of ³H, ¹³⁷Cs, ⁹⁰Sr, ^totU, ²³⁸Pu, ^{239, 240}Pu, and²⁴¹ Am in soils (0‐ to 12‐in. [31 cm] depth underneath the tree), pinon pine shoots (PPS), and pinon pine nuts (PPN) collected from LANL lands and regional background (BG) locations, (2) committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from the ingestion of nuts, and (3) soil to PPS to PPN concentration ratios (CRs). Most radionuclides, with the exception of ³H in soils, were not significantly higher (p < 0.10) in soils, PPS, and PPN collected from LANL as compared to BG locations, and concentrations of most radionuclides in PPN from LANL have decreased over time. The maximum net CEDE (the CEDE plus two sigma minus BG) at the most conservative ingestion rate (10 lb [4.5 kg]) was 0.0018 mrem (0.018 μSv); this is far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem (1000 μSv). Soil‐to‐nut CRs for most radionuclides were within the range of default values in the literature for common fruits and vegetables.     

Degradation and sorption of imidacloprid in dissimilar surface and subsurface soils

Degradation and sorption/desorption are important processes affecting the leaching of pesticides through soil. This research characterized the degradation and sorption of imidacloprid (1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)-methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine) in Drummer (silty clay loam) and Exeter (sandy loam) surface soils and their corresponding subsurface soils using sequential extraction methods over 400 days. By the end of the incubation, approximately 55% of imidacloprid applied at a rate of 1.0 mg kg^?1 degraded in the Exeter sandy loam surface and subsurface soils, compared to 40% of applied imidacloprid within 300 days in Drummer surface and subsurface soils. At the 0.1 mg kg^?1 application rate, dissipation was slower for all four soils. Water-extractable imidacloprid in Exeter surface soil decreased from 98% of applied at day 1 to > 70% of the imidacloprid remaining after 400 d, as compared to 55% in the Drummer surface soil at day 1 and 12% at day 400. These data suggest that imidacloprid was bioavailable to degrading soil microorganisms and sorption/desorption was not the limiting factor for biodegradation. In subsurface soils > 40% of ¹⁴C-benzoic acid was mineralized over 21 days, demonstrating an active microbial community. In contrast, cumulative ¹⁴CO₂ was less than 1.5% of applied ¹⁴C-imidacloprid in all soils over 400 d. Qualitative differences in the microbial communities appear to limit the degradation of imidacloprid in the subsurface soils.     

Biochemical interaction of six op delayed neurotoxicants with several neurotargets

Abstract

Five organophosphorous insecticides: Leptophos, EPN, Cyano‐fenphos, trichloronate and salithion proved to cause irreversible ataxia not only to chicken but also to mice and sheep. TOCP was included as a reference. Cyanofenphos blocked the catecholamine B‐receptor binding activity with ³H‐norepinephrine at a level similar to that of the specific inhibitor propranolol in the mouse heart preparation. In the lamb heart preparation, the B‐receptor was more sensitive to Leptophos, salithion and TOCP than to propranolol. The six compounds and their oxons were screened for their in‐vitro inhibition to monamine oxidase (MAO), acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) and neurotoxic esterase (NTE) in the brain of either mouse, lamb or chicken. It is believed that their AChE inhibition stands for their acute toxicity, while NTE inhibition is responsible for their paralytic ataxia.
