Studies of some biochemical changes in the tissues of Catla catla (Hamilton), Labeo rohita (Hamilton) and Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton) exposed to NH3-N,NO2-N and NO3-N

Biochemical changes, total proteins, glycogen, aspartate and alanine (AAT and ALAT) amino transferases were studied with exposure of sublethal concentrations of NH3-N, NO2-N and NO3-N to the freshwater fish Catla catla (Hamilton), Labeo rohita (Hamilton) and Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton). Depletion in the food reserves and enzyme activity was observed in all the three fish species exposed to these toxicants. Hence, the concentrations of NH3, NO2 and NO3 in water need to be monitored in water quality in aquaculture practices.     

镉胁迫对龙葵幼苗氮代谢及其相关酶活性的影响

采用营养液培养方法,研究了系列镉浓度处理对龙葵（Solanum nigrumL）幼苗氮代谢的影响。结果表明：龙葵根系可溶性蛋白质较叶片受Cd影响更大。龙葵植株叶片和根系NO3--N含量、硝酸还原酶（NR）、谷氨酰胺合成酶（GS）活性均随镉浓度提高而先增后降,且随处理时间的延长而逐渐下降。叶片NO3--N含量和NR活性均在25μm镉处理8d后达到峰值,而根系NO3--N则在50μm镉处理8d后最高。叶片NO3--N含量受镉处理影响较根系稍大。然而,龙葵叶片中NH4＋-N含量随镉浓度升高和时间延长逐渐升高,100μm镉处理16d后最高,表明镉胁迫下龙葵叶片铵态氮富集效应明显。龙葵叶片和根系中谷氨酸脱氢酶（GDH）活性随镉处理浓度提高和处理时间延长而逐渐升高,100μm镉处理16d后达到峰值。     

SO_2与CeO_2超细颗粒非均相反应产物的细胞毒性效应

大气二次细颗粒物(secondary fine particulate matters,SFPMs)是我国城市大气PM_(2.5)的主要组成部分。然而由于PM_(2.5)组成成份复杂,其毒性产生的来源并不明确。在本研究中,我们以二氧化铈(CeO_2)超细颗粒物(UFPs)为大气细矿物质颗粒模型,研究了SO_2气体在模拟大气环境中,如湿度(RH)、紫外光照(UV)和NO_2存在条件下,在CeO_2UFPs界面经多相反应生成的二次无机细颗粒物的性质及与细胞毒性的构效关系。实验通过实时高通量细胞分析系统,实时观察了CeO_2-SFPMs暴露对小鼠单核巨噬细胞(RAW264.7)增殖的影响;并进一步检测了CeO_2-SFPMs对细胞膜通透性和细胞凋亡的影响。结果表明,SO_2与CeO_2UFPs作用后可转化为硫酸盐,在有NO_2存在下转化更为明显。CeO_2-SFPMs对细胞毒性效应与其生成的环境条件相关,并具有时间效应性。RAW264.7细胞暴露于CeO_2-SFPMs 8 h,细胞增殖无明显变化;暴露8~25 h后,CeO_2-SFPMs对细胞增殖的抑制率随CeO_2@CeO_2+SO_2@CeO_2+SO_2+RH≈@CeO_2+SO_2+RH+UV@CeO_2+SO_2+RH+NO_2的顺序显著升高。CeO_2-SFPMs对Raw264.7细胞膜通透性和细胞凋亡的影响研究也证明CeO_2-SFPMs@CeO_2+SO_2+RH+NO_2产生的细胞毒性最明显。

Toxicity and accumulation of lead and chromium in Hydrocotyle umbellata

The aquatic plant, Hydrocotyle umbellata, was studied for its toxicity and accumulation of lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr) in a synthetic solution. Plants were cultured in a modified Hoagland's nutrient solutions supplemented with 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mg Pb/l as lead nitrate [Pb(NO3)2] and 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mg Cr/l as potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7). They were separately harvested after 3, 6, 9, and 12 days. Plants exposed to Pb and Cr showed significant decreases in the biomass productivity and total chlorophyll content when the exposure time and metal concentration were increased. The accumulation of Pb and Cr in the plants was significantly increased, but it was not linear with the exposure time and metal concentration. Both metals were accumulated higher in the roots than in the shoots. The bioconcentration factor of Pb was higher than that of Cr at the same exposure time, indicating a higher accumulation potential of Pb than Cr in H. umbellata. Toxicity symptoms of both metals showed a reduction in the production of new plantlets, withering of petioles, and change in color of roots from light green to dark brown. Pb caused leaf chlorosis, whereas Cr caused leaf necrosis. The toxicity symptoms increased when the exposure time and metal concentration were increased.     

Increasing trend of primary NO2 exhaust emission fraction in Hong Kong

Despite the successful reduction in roadside NO( x ) levels, no such decrease has been detected in roadside NO(2) concentration in Hong Kong. One underlying cause could be the rising primary NO(2) fraction of the total emission of NO( x ). Primary NO(2) can be particularly detrimental to Hong Kong because a large fraction of the population are exposed to the traffic-related primary pollutants in the street canyons formed by congested high-rise buildings. In this study, hourly mean concentration data for roadside nitrogen oxides (NO( x )), nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)), and background ozone (O(3)) were used to estimate the mean primary NO(2) fraction from vehicle exhausts in Hong Kong. An overall increasing trend was observed for the primary NO(2) fraction (f-NO(2)) values in all the three roadside air monitoring sites. The primary NO(2) as a fraction of total NO( x ) (f-NO(2)) increased approximately from 2% in 1998 to 13% in 2008 in Hong Kong. The two particular periods of rising f-NO(2) coincided with the two implementation periods of the diesel retrofit programs for the light-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles. Future vehicle emission control strategies should target not only total NO( x ) but also primary NO(2). Health benefit or disease burden estimates should be taken into account and updated in the process of policy planning and evaluation.

Ameliorated effects of garlic (Allium sativum) on biomarkers of subchronic acrylamide hepatotoxicity and brain toxicity in rats

Acrylamide (ACR) exerts its toxicity through stimulation of the oxidative stress; yet, its effect on neurotransmitter catabolic enzymes has not been elucidated. We investigated the effects of ACR exposure on brain and hepatic tissues antioxidant enzymes activities and different markers such as, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), nitric oxide (NO), monoamine oxidase (MAO), and lipid profile, and to evaluate the protective effects of garlic against ACR toxicity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to ACR (1 mg kg^?1 body weight) with or without diet containing 1.5% of garlic powder for 40 days. ACR administration showed a decrease in AChE activity associated with an increase in MAO activity in both brain and hepatic tissues. In addition, ACR administration increased the lipid peroxidation and NO levels of both tissues while decreased the activities of glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase, and glutathione-S-transferase (GST). On the other hand, the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase activities increased as a consequence of GSH depletion after ACR exposure. Finally, ACR exposure increased the brain and liver lipid profile of cholesterol, triglycerides and total lipid, while phospholipids level was decreased. Coadministration of garlic powder with ACR significantly attenuated oxidative stress, MAO activity, and inflammation in brain and hepatic tissues but did not ameliorate AChE activity. In conclusion, our results emphasized the role of garlic as a potential adjuvant therapy to prevent ACR neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity.     

不同化肥对水稻土中Cu吸附行为的影响

通过等温吸附试验,研究Ca(NO3)2、NH4CI、NH4NO3、CO(NH2)2、KH2PO4和KCI 6种化肥对土壤中Cu吸附行为的影响.结果表明,添加CO(NH2)2使土壤中Cu的吸附率和分配系数增大,NH4NO3、KCI、NH4Cl和Ca(NO3)2则使其明显减小,KH2PO4对土壤Cu吸附的影响作用与Cu离子浓度有关.不同化肥处理土壤中Cu的吸附势E0顺序为:CO(NH2)2>CK>NH4NO3>Ca(NO3)2>KCI>NH4CI>KH2PO4.6种化肥对土壤中Cu吸附行为的影响作用为:KH2PO4>CO(NH2)2>CK>NH4NO3>KCI>NH4CI>Ca(NO3)2.由于不同化肥对土壤中Cu吸附行为的影响不同,因此在Cu含量较高的土壤上种植时应合理选择施用化肥,以避免土壤中Cu的迁移转化,降低其生物有效性.     

京津冀地区大气NO2污染特征研究

京津冀都市圈作为全国主要的重化工业基地,区域性大气污染问题成为关注的焦点。NO2作为二次颗粒物及光化学污染物的重要前体物,了解其在时空尺度的污染特征对于保护公众康健及大气污染综合治理具有重要意义。本研究主要基于OMI遥感反演数据并结合部分地面监测数据,研究了2005—2013年京津冀NO2区域污染特征。结果表明：京津冀NO2柱浓度总体呈现逐年升高的趋势,年平均增长速率可达5.69%。在空间格局上呈东南平原区高、西北山区低的特征,平原的年均柱浓度是山区的3倍多;平原区存在两大NO2高值区域,分别为北京-天津-唐山区域和石家庄-邢台-邯郸区域;9年内, NO2高值范围不断扩大,且呈现明显的连片趋势。各城市大气 NO2在9年内的增长趋势也表现出明显的空间差异性。其中石家庄、唐山、邢台等 NO2重度污染区域的增长速率最大,衡水、沧州、秦皇岛、廊坊等中度污染区域的增长速率次之,承德、张家口等轻度污染区域的增长速率最小。京津冀NO2柱浓度具有显著的季节变化特征,总体表现为秋冬高、春夏低,但山区与平原区差异较大。人口密度、能源消耗、机动车排放等人为因素与京津冀 NO2污染密切相关,不同城市的首要影响因素却不同。北京 NO2柱浓度变化主要受机动车排放影响,天津、唐山、石家庄、邯郸、邢台地区主要受工业燃煤的影响,其次为机动车排放。人为因素对平原区NO2柱浓度的影响作用始终占据主导地位,对山区的主导作用从2006年开始突显。此外,京津冀平原区NO2重污染中心的形成还受到特殊地形和不利的气象条件影响。2008奥运年,京津冀空气质量得到迅速且有效的改善,说明北京及周边省市联合开展大气污染治理及监管工作的有效性及必要性。     

Concentration of nitrite in respirable particulate matter of ambient air in Vadodara, Gujarat, India

Water extract of respirable particulate matter (RPM) was analyzed by Ion chromatography technique to investigate the presence of nitrite (NO2) as secondary aerosol in ambient environment. The nitrite particulates undergo photo hydroxyl radical reaction in environment produce nitrous acid, which reacts with metal and absorbs on RPM as water-soluble metal salt. The mean concentration of nitrite was 20.86 microg m(-3) in ambient environment. Regression analysis showed that the relationship for respirable particulate matter and nitrite (RPM-NO2, R2 = 0.742) was positively significant. We are reporting the presence of nitrite as an aerosol in ambient environment.     

Selective reduction of NO by photo-SCR with ammonia in an annular fixed-film photoreactor

Gaseous NO was photocatalytically reduced at room temperature by photo-assisted selective catalytic reduction (photo-SCR) with ammonia over TiO₂ in this study. NO reduction efficiency and N₂ selectivity were determined from gases composition at the outlet stream of photoreactor. Effect of operating conditions, e.g. light intensity and inlet concentrations of ammonia and oxygen, on the NO reduction efficiency and N₂ selectivity were discussed to determine the feasible operating condition for photocatalytic reduction of NO. Experimental results showed that selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia over TiO₂ in the presence of oxygen was a spontaneous reaction in dark. The photoirradiation on the TiO₂ surface caused remarkable photocatalytic reduction of NO to form N₂, NO₂, and N₂O under 254 nm UV illuminations, while almost 90% of N₂ selectivity was achieved in this study. The ammonia and oxygen molecules played the roles of reductant and oxidant for NO reduction and active sites regeneration, respectively. The reduction of NO was found to be increased with the increase of inlet ammonia and oxygen concentrations until specific concentrations because of the limited active sites on the surface of TiO₂. The kinetic model proposed in this study can be used to reasonably describe the reaction mechanism of photo-SCR.     

Denitrification in nitrate-rich streams: application of N2:Ar and 15N-tracer methods in intact cores.

Rates of benthic denitrification were measured using two techniques, membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) and isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), applied to sediment cores from two NO3(-)-rich streams draining agricultural land in the upper Mississippi River Basin. Denitrification was estimated simultaneously from measurements of N2:Ar (MIMS) and 15N[N2] (IRMS) after the addition of low-level 15NO3- tracer (15N:N = 0.03-0.08) in stream water overlying intact sediment cores. Denitrification rates ranged from about 0 to 4400 micromol N x m(-2) x h(-1) in Sugar Creek and from 0 to 1300 micromol N x m(-2) x h(-1) in Iroquois River, the latter of which possesses greater streamflow discharge and a more homogeneous streambed and water column. Within the uncertainties of the two techniques, there is good agreement between the MIMS and IRMS results, which indicates that the production of N2 by the coupled process of nitrification/denitrification was relatively unimportant and surface-water NO3- was the dominant source of NO3- for benthic denitrification in these streams. Variation in stream NO3- concentration (from about 20 micromol/L during low discharge to 1000 micromol/L during high discharge) was a significant control of benthic denitrification rates, judging from the more abundant MIMS data. The interpretation that NO3- concentration directly affects denitrification rate was corroborated by increased rates of denitrification in cores amended with NO3-. Denitrification in Sugar Creek removed < or = 11% per day of the instream NO3- in late spring and removed roughly 15-20% in late summer. The fraction of NO3- removed in Iroquois River was less than that of Sugar Creek. Although benthic denitrification rates were relatively high during periods of high stream flow, when NO3 concentrations were also high, the increase in benthic denitrification could not compensate for the much larger increase in stream NO3- fluxes during high flow. Consequently, fractional NO3- losses were relatively low during high flow.

SO_2和NO_2胁迫对红花荷等植物光合生理影响及抗性评价

为探讨红花荷（Rhodoleia championii）等12种园林植物抗SO2和NO2污染能力,以1～2年生实生苗为材料,通过人工气候室的盆栽实验,研究不同SO2和NO2混合气体胁迫对园林植物苗木光合参数和相对叶绿素含量的影响,并利用隶属函数法及系统聚类分析法对其抗SO2和NO2污染能力进行了综合评价。结果表明,植物叶片净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率和相对叶绿素含量基本上随着SO2和NO2胁迫的加剧而逐渐降低,但水分利用效率受净光合速率和蒸腾速率变化的影响规律不明显。综合隶属函数和聚类分析可知,红花荷和红千层（Callistemon rigidus）抗污染能力强,杜鹃红山茶（Camellia azalea）和粉红羊蹄甲（Bauhinia blakeana）抗污染能力较强,红花银桦（Grevillea robusta）和无忧树（Saraca divespierre）抗污染能力中等,大叶紫薇（Lagerstroemia speciosa）、金花风铃木（Tabebuia chrysantha）和腊肠树（Cassia fistula）抗污染能力较弱,而本地火焰木（Spathodea nilotica）、复羽叶栾树（Koelreuteria bipinnata）和樱花（Prunus serrulata）抗污染能力弱。研究结果为火电厂、陶瓷厂、钢铁厂、石化厂等重度酸污染地区植物选择提供参考。

施用石灰对酸性土壤中氧化亚氮形成的影响

对酸性红壤施用石灰和N2O生成之间的关系进行了探讨。结果表明,在好气条件下,石灰的施用与NH4＋氧化过程中N2O的产生量之间的关系不明显。但随着石灰施用量的增加,厌气条件下NO3－还原过程中N2O的积累量明显增加了,这与施用石灰后土壤pH升高而提高了硝酸还原酶活性有关。试验还表明,尽管在厌气条件下土壤pH较高有利于NO3－还原成NO2－,但当缺乏有效碳源时,NO2－向N2O的进一步还原受到限制,易发生NO2－的积累。
