能源植物皇草对重金属的耐性及修复潜力

重金属污染及生态修复是环境和生态领域研究的热点和难点。皇草是重要的纤维素生物燃料和电力植物。选用皇草作为重金属污染土壤的修复植物,探讨皇草对重金属的耐性机理和对重金属污染土壤的修复效果。结果表明:皇草的株高和干重在Ni、As、Zn、Pb处理中显著高于对照处理或者与对照处理没有显著差异,但在Cr处理中显著低于对照处理。皇草在Ni、As、Zn、Pb和低浓度Cr污染土壤均能生产大量的生物质,每季产25.55~28.51 t·hm~(-2)鲜草和8.23~9.12 t·hm~(-2)干草。皇草叶片中MDA和POD的含量随着Cr、Ni、As和Pb浓度的升高有所增加,但CAT和SOD的活性表现出相反的趋势。在Zn的2个浓度梯度下,皇草叶片中的CAT、POD和SOD的活性均随着Zn浓度升高而下降。从重金属在皇草各器官分布来看,Cr、As和Pb的浓度为根叶茎;Ni和Zn为根茎叶。从重金属在植物叶片中的形态来看,Cr、Ni、Zn和Pb的盐酸提取态的含量较高。从重金属在亚细胞分布来看,Cr、As和Pb在皇草叶片亚细胞组分分布为细胞质细胞壁细胞器,Ni和Zn在皇草叶片亚细胞组分分布为细胞器细胞质细胞壁。皇草对重金属的富集系数和转运系数均小于1,对重金属的提取量较低,但其耐性强、生物量大,适合应用于土壤重金属污染的植物稳定技术。

底泥生长基质中重金属的迁移特征及生物有效性

河道底泥中重金属含量较高,重金属的迁移性及生物有效性是限制疏浚底泥土地施用或用作废弃场地修复基质资源化利用途径的主要因素。以沈阳细河待疏浚底泥为材料,通过盆栽实验的方法研究了河道底泥与碱性粉煤灰、炉渣和锯木屑配比基质中重金属在紫花苜蓿体内累积、迁移及生物有效性的变化。结果发现,配比底泥基质上紫花苜蓿生物量、株高及株径均好于纯底泥处理,其中底泥、粉煤灰、炉渣、锯木屑以2：0．5：0．5：0．5配比的s2处理中紫花苜蓿生物量是纯底泥处理的11．7倍。与底泥对照相比,配比底泥基质上植株体内重金属含量极显著降低,而且地上部重金属含量显著低于根部含量;底泥基质中紫花苜蓿地上部和根部对Cd、Cu、Pb、Zn的富集系数（BCF）显著低于底泥处理,但转移系数（TF）无显著变化,富集系数（BCF）和转移系数（TF）均小于1．0。紫花苜蓿种植后底泥基质中重金属含量显著低于农用污泥重金属控制标准,除Cd含量略高外,Cu、Pb和Zn含量低于土壤环境质量三级标准。这些结果表明,城市重污染河道底泥经过合理处置后,重金属浓度、活性及生物有效性降低,在其土地施用或废弃地修复中可以用作一些耐性植物的生长基质。

以铜绿山矿区菜地为研究对象,测定了土壤和蔬菜中Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd 4种重金属的含量,分析了土壤-蔬菜体系重金属的污染特征和蔬菜对重金属的富集能力。结果表明:矿区菜地土壤中重金属Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd的污染因子分别为10.63、1.12、1.10、0.06,表明Cu污染非常严重,Zn、Pb属轻度污染,Cd无污染;参考《食品中污染物限量》(GB 2762—2017)、《食品中铜限量卫生标准》(GB 15199—94)以及《食品中锌限量卫生标准》(GB 13106—91),蔬菜中Cu、Zn污染较严重且具有普遍性;蔬菜中Cd含量虽均未超出食品安全限值,但明显高于蔬菜根部土壤中的Cd含量;叶菜类、根茎类蔬菜中Pb均未超标,瓜果类蔬菜中Pb超标;蔬菜可食部位对重金属的富集能力为CdZnCuPb;蔬菜中重金属含量与土壤重金属含量总体表现出较弱的相关性,表明蔬菜中重金属的积累不完全决定于土壤重金属的含量,还与土壤中重金属的生物有效性、环境行为及其他环境因素有关。     

观赏植物与驯化污泥联合修复垃圾渗滤液污染土壤

垃圾填埋场渗滤液污染土壤具有重金属-有机物复合污染的特性。研究了观赏植物广东万年青、白掌、孔雀竹芋和经垃圾渗滤液驯化的污泥对该污染土壤的修复效果,结果表明:采用单一植物修复时,广东万年青较白掌和孔雀竹芋对土壤污染物具有更强耐性,能在污染土壤中生长良好,对重金属Cd和Pb的富集能力也更强;驯化污泥能明显提高污染土壤中有机污染物的降解率,并使重金属Cd和Pb稳定态比例分别提高了34.7%和36.6%,降低了重金属的生物有效性。当采用广东万年青和驯化污泥联合修复时,污泥能促进植物的生长,且当污泥添加量为480 mg·kg~(-1)时,联合修复对土壤中Cd、Pb及有机污染物的去除率分别较不加污泥的对照提高了51.7%、25.5%和40.2%。     

Pesticides in rainfall in Europe

Papers and published reports investigating the presence of pesticides in rainfall in Europe were reviewed. Approximately half of the compounds that were analysed for were detected. For those detected, most concentrations were below about 100 ng/l, but larger concentrations, up to a few thousand nanograms per litre, were detected occasionally at most monitoring sites. The most frequently detected compounds were lindane (gamma-HCH) and its isomer (alpha-HCH), which were detected on 90-100% of sampling occasions at most of the sites where they were monitored. For compounds developed more recently, detection was usually limited to the spraying season. A classification of pesticides according to their deposition pattern is proposed.     

Differences in Cu content in selected mushroom species growing in the same unpolluted areas in Poland

The aim of the study was to estimate copper (Cu) accumulation efficiency in whole-fruiting bodies of 18 edible and non-edible wild growing mushrooms collected from 27 places in the Wielkopolska Voivodeship. Mushrooms were collected each time from the same places to estimate the diversity in Cu accumulation between tested mushroom species within 3 consecutive years of study (2011–2013). The study results revealed various accumulation of Cu in the whole-tested mushroom fruiting bodies. The highest mean accumulation of Cu was observed in Macrolepiota procera (119.4 ± 20.0 mg kg^?1 dm), while the lowest was in Suillus luteus and Russula fellea fruiting bodies (16.1 ± 3.0 and 18.8 ± 4.6 mg kg^?1 dm, respectively). Significant differences in Cu accumulation between mushroom species collected in 2011 and in the two following years (2012 and 2013) were observed. The results indicated that sporadic consumption of these mushrooms was not related to excessive intake of Cu for the human body (no toxic influence on health).     

Large-scale spatial variation in mercury concentrations in cattle in NW Spain

Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic environmental contaminant and man-made emissions account for between a quarter and a third of total atmospheric levels. Point discharges, particularly coal-burning power stations, are major sources of atmospheric Hg and can result in marked spatial variation in mercury deposition and subsequent uptake by biota. The aims of this study were to quantify the extent to which major point and diffuse sources of atmospheric Hg emissions affected accumulation of Hg by biota throughout Galicia and Asturias, two of the major regions in northwest Spain. We did this by relating renal Hg concentrations in locally reared cattle (n=284) to the proximity of animals to point and diffuse sources of Hg emissions. Mercury residues in calf kidneys ranged between non-detected and 89.4 g/kg wet weight. Point discharges from coal-fired power plants in Galicia had the most dominant impact on Hg accumulation by calves in Galicia, affecting animals throughout the region and explaining some two-thirds of the variation in renal residues between animals located directly downwind from the plants. The effects of more diffuse emission sources on Hg accumulation in calves were not distinguishable in Galicia but were detected in cattle from neighbouring Asturias. The impact of both point and diffuse sources in elevating environmental levels of bioavailable Hg and subsequent accumulation by cattle extended to approximately 140-200 km downwind from source.     

Mercury in fish in Swedish lakes

The aim of this work has been to try to obtain a picture of the past, present and future mercury situation in fish in Swedish lakes, to make an estimate of the number of lakes threatened by 'blacklisting', and to see if the data can be used to reveal anything about the impact of liming on the Hg content in pike. The register contains a broad set of data from 1456 lakes. The main results are as follows. Trend analyses indicate that the Hg content in 1-kg pike seems to increase with time. This is interesting since there has been a significant decrease in mercury emissions from Swedish industries during the last two decades. High Hg contents in 1-kg pike appear in a very characteristic pattern, linked to specific sources of Hg emission. The data indicate that old Swedish 'sins' are still causing a lot of problems. The factors governing the leakage of Hg from soils to water ought to be a very important topic for further studies. The Hg content in pike shows the highest correlation with the following parameters: Hg in surficial sediments, pH, distance from point source and water hardness, lake water alkalinity and conductivity, water retention time, size of drainage area and lake surface. A formula which provides the best possible degree of explanation (r2 = 0.78) has been derived. At present there are about 250 lakes 'blacklisted' in Sweden due to high Hg content in fish. Our data show that there are at least 9400 lakes that ought to be 'blacklisted' today. A successful liming operation will alter the chemical conditions in lakes and also decrease the Hg content in fish.     

Trends in summer sulphate in Europe

A trend analysis of the sulphate concentration in Europe in the summer half-year was performed. Data from various measuring networks were analysed, but only stations with quality assured sampling methods and a record of more than 10 years were included in the study. 1978 served as the reference year for the trend, because in that year most stations started operation. The relatively dense network in Belgium provided the most valuable data, as evidenced by the fact that two sites at a distance of only 10 km apart correlated better than 95% over a month. The two sites also show a correlation of better than 90% over a season with two other stations at distances of 45 and 95 km. The relative decrease in summer-sulphate at the four stations in Belgium, as analysed by linear regression, was 3.3% per year which corresponds to an absolute decrease of 0.42 μgm⁻³ per year. In the Netherlands the average yearly decrease in summer-sulphate at two stations was 3.5% (−0.34 μgm⁻³). In other countries stations were further apart or only a single site wits in use, which limits the representativeness of the data. In northwestern Germany, a region with several monitoring stations, a yearly averaged decrease of 3.0% occurred. The lower absolute decrease (0.25 μgm⁻³) per year compared to that in the two neighbouring countries reflects the lower summer-time sulphate concentrations. In the remainder of Germany the average decrease was 1.6%. In South-Scandinavia the yearly relative decrease at two sites was 2.6% (0.13 μgm⁻³ absolute). There was no significant trend in the U.K. Al the Polish station the levels increased, it decreased at the Hungarian and Austrian station and remained constant at the Czechoslovakian site. Reasons for omission of the data from France from the trend analysis are discussed.     

Lead poisoning in swans in Japan

We investigated the occurrence, source and exposure time of lead poisoning in whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus cygnus) and Bewick's swans (Cygnus columbianus bewickii) in Japan during the winters of 1984-1987. Concentrations of lead in various tissues and physiological evidence of lead shot in some birds indicated that lead shotgun pellets were the source of lead, and exposure occurred after the birds arrived in Japan. Mortality probably occurred within 30 days after exposure to, and retention of, lead shot in the gizzard.     

Pesticide levels in surface waters in an agricultural-forestry basin in Southern Chile

Residues of five pesticides in surface water were surveyed during 2001 and 2003 in the Traiguen river basin in Southern Chile. Simazine, hexazinone, 2,4-D, picloram herbicides and carbendazim fungicide were selected through a pesticide risk classification index. Six sampling stations along the river were set up based on agricultural and forestry land use. The water sampling was carried out before and after the pesticide application periods and in correspondence to some rain events. Pesticides were analyzed by HPLC with DAD detection in a multiresidue analysis. During 2001, in the first sampling campaign (March), the highest concentrations of pesticides were 3.0 microg l(-1) for simazine and hexazinone and 1.8 microg l(-1) for carbendazim. In the second sampling (September), the highest concentration were 9.7 microg l(-1) for 2,4-D, 0.3 microg l(-1) for picloram and 0.4 microg l(-1) for carbendazim. In the last sampling period (December), samples indicated contamination with carbendazim fungicide at levels of up to 1.2 microg l(-1). In sampling carried out on May 2003, no pesticides were detected. In October 2003, the highest concentrations of pesticides were 4.5 microg l(-1) for carbendazim and 2.9 microg l(-1) for 2,4-D. Data are discussed in function of land use and application periods of the products, showing a clear seasonal pattern pollution in the Traiguen river. Risk assessment for these pesticides was calculated by using a risk quotient (RQ = PNEC/PEC). For picloram the calculated RQ < was 0, which indicates that no adverse effects may occur due to the exposure to this herbicide in the Traiguen river basin. For 2,4-D, simazine, hexazinone, carbendazim RQ > 1, meaning that adverse effects could occur and it is necessary to reduce pesticide exposure in surface waters. It is recommended to continue with a pesticide monitoring program and the implementation of ecotoxicological testing with local and standardized species in order to consider the probability of effects occurrence, with less uncertainty. Thus, it will be more feasible to make some recommendations to regulatory agencies regarding the pesticide use.

Heavy metal contamination in bats in Britain

Toxic metals are bioaccumulated by insectivorous mammals but few studies (none from Britain) have quantified residues in bats. We measured renal mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) concentrations in bats from south-west England to determine how they varied with species, sex, age, and over time, and if they were likely to cause adverse effects. Residues were generally highest in whiskered bats (Myotis mystacinus). Compared with other species, pipistrelle (Pipistrellus spp) and Natterer's bats (Myotis nattereri) had significantly lower kidney Hg and Pb concentrations, respectively. Renal Hg increased over time in pipistrelles but the contributory sources are unknown. Kidney Pb did not decrease over time despite concurrent declines in atmospheric Pb. Overall, median renal metal concentrations were similar to those in bats from mainland Europe and 6- to 10-fold below those associated with clinical effect, although 5% of pipistrelles had kidney Pb residues diagnostic of acute lead poisoning.
