5种水培植物对富营养化水体的净化能力

为了研究水培植物对富营养化水体的净化能力,将莴笋(Lactuca sativa var.angustata)、空心菜(Ipomoeaaquatica)、番茄(Lycopersicon esculentum)、生菜(Lactuca sativa var.ramosa)和黄瓜(Cucumis sativus)5种蔬菜放置于富营养化水体中培养,定期测定水体中总氮和总磷含量的变化。实验结果表明,水培莴笋、空心菜、番茄、生菜和黄瓜对富营养化水体中总氮的去除率分别为66.45%、91.28%、93.74%、93.04%和90.11%;对总磷的去除率分别为96.44%、97.48%、85.62%、88.08%和90.97%。比较5种水培蔬菜单位鲜重的总氮和总磷去除能力,结果表明,生菜的总氮和总磷去除能力最强,分别为0.69 mg/(L.g FW)和0.06 mg/(L.g FW),可作为净化富营养化水体优先选择的植物物种。     

菖蒲和空心菜在处理微污染河水潜流人工湿地中的应用

为了探讨修复微污染河水的潜流湿地中植物对污染物去除效果的影响及其生长变化,在野外条件下构建2座分别栽种菖蒲和空心菜的水平潜流人工湿地,并以未栽种植物的湿地作空白。分析了湿地中污染物的去除效果,考察了湿地中植物的生物量、根系活力和氮磷含量的变化。植物湿地中污染物净化效果优于空白湿地,菖蒲和空心菜湿地对氨氮(NH+4-N)、总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)和高锰酸盐指数(CODMn)的平均去除率分别为61.1%和57.5%,31.5%和39.7%,24.7%和25.5%,20.4%和20.7%。实验结果表明,湿地中菖蒲的根系鲜重是空心菜的4.2倍,但其根系活力低于空心菜。2种植物均可在湿地中正常生长,但受湿地中营养盐浓度的限制性影响,移栽后的植物组织氮磷含量与移栽前相比下降了11.8%~20.3%。植物在净化微污染河水的潜流人工湿地中对N、P的去除起重要作用。     

抗侵蚀型生态沟渠构建及其稻田应用效果

根据沟渠水力学和工程力学特征,通过引进三维植物网护坡技术,构建了一种抗侵蚀型稻田生态沟渠,横断面0.9 m2,沟壁和沟底水生植物覆盖度分别为62.8%和35.3%,沟壁抗坡面侵蚀强度较土质沟渠可提高2倍以上,在优化污染物拦截去除功能的同时,大大延长了其使用寿命。稻田应用实验表明,径流排水停留时间超过48 h后,SS、TN和TP去除率分别达59.5%、57.8%和45.3%,配置比例按照1 hm2水稻田配300 m该型生态沟渠实施,则超过80%以上的稻田径流排水能够得到有效处理。该型生态沟渠工程造价约245元/m,接近传统混凝土排水渠单价,经近2年的运行观测,沟渠系统结构稳定,净化植物长势良好。     

基于旱作农田面源污染控制的生态沟渠构建及其拦截效果研究

针对南方平原河网地区旱作农田径流排水特征,构建了一种混凝土多孔板结构的生态沟渠,有效过水断面为0.8m~2,稳定期沟壁和沟底净化植物生物量分别为0.54、0.36kg/m,并通过引入三维植被网护坡技术,在发挥生态拦截功能的同时,大大提高了沟渠抗坡面侵蚀强度。试验表明,径流排水的水力停留时间(HRT)达48h时,生态沟渠对悬浮物(SS)、总氮(TN)和总磷(TP)拦截率分别为50.5%、53.6%、56.1%。生态沟渠对硝态氮的拦截规律与TN一致,但对可溶性磷(DP)的拦截效果与传统水旱通用混凝土排水渠无明显差别,说明生态沟渠对TP的拦截主要表现在对颗粒吸附态磷的拦截。     

水生植物类型及生物量对污水处理厂尾水净化效果的影响

为阐明水生植物类型和生物量对污水处理厂尾水净化效果的影响,选取空心菜(Ipomoea aquatica Forsk)、苦草(Vallisneria natans L.)、粉绿狐尾藻(Myriophyllum aquaticum)3种水生植物对宜兴市周铁镇污水处理厂尾水进行净化。实验对不同植物分别设置4个生物量梯度以及无植物的对照组,考察不同植物和生物量对尾水净化效果的影响。结果表明:不同植物对污水处理厂尾水净化效果存在差异,总氮净化效果(30 d)受植物类型影响显著(P0.05)。粉绿狐尾藻对总氮和硝氮净化效果(30 d)最好,分别为95.28%和98.50%;苦草对氨氮和总磷净化效果(30 d)最好,分别为95.30%和95.80%,且苦草生长有利于降低亚硝氮的产生量。不同生物量对尾水净化效果影响较小,空心菜、苦草和粉绿狐尾藻去除总氮的最佳生物量分别为157.50、460.80和1 120.00 g,去除总磷的最佳生物量分别为157.50,609.40和590.00 g。不同生物量对空心菜生长存在影响,高空心菜生物量到后期会衰败,而低生物量处理组在实验周期内持续生长,造成高生物量净化效果低于低生物量,建议使用空心菜净化污水时,使用低生物量处理,且在其达到最大生物量(610.00~880.00 g)之前进行收割。     

生态浮岛复合技术净化黑臭河道废水的实验研究

以宁波市前塘河水作为实验水体,采用不同水生植物及组合、生态浮岛复合技术净化水中污染物。经过14d的水培实验发现,沉水植物COD去除能力高于浮水植物和挺水植物;水生植物组合对COD的去除率相对较低,但去除率仍不低于79.9%。水生植物组合对氨氮的去除效果好于单一种类植物。沉水植物去除总磷的效果好于浮水植物与挺水植物,不同水生植物及组合的总磷去除率均大于44.0%。生态浮岛复合技术对废水中污染物的去除能力较强,实验10d时COD、氨氮、总磷去除率分别为97.1%、100.0%、73.8%。由此可见,水生植物和微生物的协同净化作用使生态浮岛复合技术对污染物的降解效果非常显著。     

不同湿地植物及其组配对富营养化水体的净化效果

在西安市浐灞河湿地植物调查的基础上,选取优势种菖蒲(Acorus gramineus)、芦苇(Phragmites australis)、荷花(Nelumbo nucifera)和鸢尾(Iris wilsonii)作为试验植物,研究了4种植物及其不同组配对水体总氮、氨氮、硝态氮和总磷的去除效果。结果表明:芦苇+菖蒲对总氮的净化效果最好,平均去除率为54.72%,但去除率最大值(94.98%)出现在菖蒲处理39d时;鸢尾+芦苇对氨氮的净化效果最好,平均去除率为60.56%,但去除率最大值(93.60%)出现在菖蒲+鸢尾处理39d时;芦苇+菖蒲对硝态氮的净化效果最好,平均去除率为50.54%,去除率最大值(94.63%)出现在芦苇+菖蒲处理39d时;鸢尾+芦苇对总磷的净化效果最好,平均去除率为52.35%,去除率最大值(86.93%)出现在鸢尾+芦苇处理39d时。     

多级生态库塘对低污染水体的净化

为分析多级生态库塘对入洱海低污染水体的净化效果,以大理市上鸡邑村新建多级串并联库塘为研究对象,跟踪监测了库塘各单元进出口水体中总氮(TN)、氨氮(NH_4~+-N)、总磷(TP)变化情况,并对库塘净化效果进行分析。结果表明:多级串并联生态库塘对水体中TN、NH_4~+-N、TP的去除率分别达30.98%～54.96%、54.11%～64.17%、27.11%～47.83%,净化效果较好。库塘对低污染水氮磷去除效果在不同单元和季节存在差异,各净化单元中,稳定塘对水体净化效果最不理想,对水体中TN、NH_4~+-N、TP去除率分别为2.88%、-17.50%、-16.83%。库塘旱季对水体中氮磷净化效果优于雨季,对水体中TN、NH_4~+-N、TP平均去除率分别为46.23%、84.43%、38.61%,均高于雨季。     

高盐工业废水人工湿地处理中植物的筛选

通过人工湿地中试实验,考察了芦苇、睡莲、水葱、狭叶香蒲和宽叶香蒲水生植物单元对经生化处理的石油和精细化工工业区的工业废水中盐含量较高、氮磷营养盐含量较低和化学需氧量(COD)含量较高的废水中污染物的去除情况,研究了在植物不同生长阶段系统中COD的去除同盐度之间的关系,探讨了盐度差异对植物生长状况的影响,为确定人工湿地适合的进水盐度,达到有效去除高含盐量工业废水中有机污染物提供依据。结果表明,芦苇、睡莲和狭叶香蒲3种植物单元内高含盐量工业废水中污染物的净化效果较水葱和宽叶香蒲单元的净化效果好:前3种植物单元内COD、生化需氧量(BOD)和总磷(TP)的去除率大约在38%、55%和62%左右,而水葱和宽叶香蒲2种植物单元内COD、BOD和TP的去除率大约在30%、36%和52%左右;系统中各个单元内总氮(TN)去除率都在85%以上。在植物的不同生长阶段,人工湿地系统中氯离子浓度与COD浓度之间的相关性存在差异:植物生长初期,系统中氯离子浓度与系统中COD浓度之间无显著相关性,而在植物生长旺期和末期,两者则成正相关关系。因此,需根据植物的生长阶段调整人工湿地的进水盐度。     

不同水生植物去除水体氮磷的效果

为研究水生植物对污染河流的脱氮除磷效果,实验采用人工配置污水,对大薸、凤眼莲、慈菇、菖蒲、香蒲和水葱这6种水生植物去除氮磷的效果进行了实验研究。结果表明,所选植物都能较好地吸收水中的营养物质,对氨氮(NH4-N)和硝态氮(NO3-N)的去除率分别为93.71%～97.32%和76.69%～92.47%,对总磷(TP)的去除率为76.69%～92.47%,其中菖蒲对NH4-N的去除效果最好,慈菇对NO3-N的去除率最高,香蒲对TP的去除率最高。6种水生植物的氮、磷吸收贡献率分别占水质氮、磷去除率的11.71%～54.57%和17.61%～64.56%。不同种类水生植物对不同污染物的去除能力存在较大差异,因此,在实际应用时可针对污染物的种类来选择水生植物,也可考虑对水生植物之间进行搭配组合用以修复污染水体。     

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).     

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.     

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.     

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.
