我国地表水中典型DBPs的暴露水平及生态风险

氯消毒过程中可能生成有毒有害的副产物,会对水生态系统和环境健康产生直接和间接的次生危害.三卤甲烷（THMs）和卤乙酸（HAAs）是地表水中检出率最高的消毒副产物（DBPs）,其毒性效应受到广泛关注.本文检索整理了三氯甲烷（TCM）、三溴甲烷（TBM）、二氯乙酸（DCAA）和三氯乙酸（TCAA）在我国地表水暴露浓度和对水生生物的毒性效应浓度,了解我国重点流域地表水环境中TCM、TBM、DCAA和TCAA的浓度水平,分别利用急、慢性毒性数据推导预测无效应浓度（PNEC）,并使用风险商（RQ）和概率生态风险评价法（PERA）对我国重点流域水环境中TCM、TBM、DCAA和TCAA进行多层次生态风险评估.结果表明,我国地表水环境中TCM、TBM、DCAA和TCAA暴露浓度范围为n.d.~51μg/L.以致死和生长、繁殖等为测试终点的急、慢性毒性数据,构建物种敏感度分布（SSD）曲线,推导出TCM、TBM、DCAA和TCAA的PNEC值分别为0.586,0.857,0和44.880mg/L;0.006,0.064,0.956和0.012mg/L.基于急、慢性毒性数据计算出的RQ小于1.我国重点流域中TCM和TCAA对1%的水生生物造成生长、繁殖等慢性毒性影响的概率分别为78.86%和20.61%,存在潜在的生态风险.     

氰渣豁免处置情景下的地下水污染与健康风险

以典型危险废物-氰渣为例,选择华北地区9座处置氰渣的一般工业固废填埋场（NISWL）作为研究对象,通过系统采样、浸出特征分析和过程模型模拟等方法预测了氰渣在NISWL豁免处置条件下的地下水污染特征和健康风险及长期演化规律.结果表明,除NISWL A和NISWL B外,其余7座NISWL由于填埋工程材料老化长期渗漏导致的暴露浓度分别超过地下水III类水质限值0.64~29倍;健康风险主要来自As的致癌危害、T-CN的非致癌危害,分别超过风险可接受水平31~270倍和17.2~305.5倍.究其原因主要是氰渣中氰化物降解慢,导致残留毒性较大、浸出浓度较高,HDPE膜劣化后渗漏后污染严重,健康风险较高.基于风险管控的入场浸出毒性控制研究表明,不同NISWL的T-CN入场浓度控制限值存在差异,分布在1.15~3.25mg/L之间,且均严格于《黄金行业氰渣污染控制技术规范》（HJ 943-2018）规定限值（5mg/L）.说明入场浸出浓度限值制定应考虑填埋场工程材料老化导致的长期风险,制定更严格的入场浓度控制限值;风险大小受场地规模、区域气象水文及地质等因素影响,因此入场浸出浓度控制限值还应综合考虑上述差异,分区分类确定.     

我国与俄罗斯水质标准对比分析研究

煮沸对氯、氯胺模拟消毒饮用水中六大类DBPs的去除规律研究

以陆生来源有机物为原料制备了模拟氯、氯胺消毒饮用水,系统研究了煮沸对六大类46种消毒副产物（disinfection by-products, DBPs）的去除规律.结果显示,相比氯消毒,氯胺消毒可有效减少三卤甲烷（THMs）、卤乙酸（HAAs）、卤乙醛（HALs）、卤代硝基甲烷（HNMs）、卤乙腈（HANs）等DBPs的生成,但会提高碘代DBPs (I-DBPs)、卤乙酰胺（HAcAms）的生成.煮沸对于绝大多数DBPs （除了二卤乙酸）有良好的去除效果,并发现如下规律：(1)就单种DBP而言,消毒方式对煮沸去除DBPs并无显著影响;(2)在同类型的DBPs中,取代程度高的DBPs普遍比取代程度低的DBPs容易去除;(3)取代程度相同的同类型DBPs,煮沸后DBPs去除率大部分遵循I-DBPs> Br-DBPs> Cl-DBPs的规律;(4)少部分DBPs （如Cl/Br-THMs、二卤乙腈）,煮沸去除率表现出沸点或亨利常数依赖性.总体来看,DBPs去除率排序为THMs≈HANs≈HALs≈HNMs> HAcAms>>HAAs.此外,煮沸后各类DBPs的...

我国城市饮用水中N-亚硝基二甲胺的健康风险评估及水质标准制定

亚硝胺类物质,特别是亚硝基二甲胺(NDMA),其高致癌性及在我国饮用水中高检出率引起了国内媒体和管理层的广泛关注.为了评价饮水中NDMA造成的健康风险,进而提出我国饮水标准的建议,本文利用近几年全国饮用水水质调查的NDMA数据,以伤残调整寿命年(DALYs)为风险评价终点,并结合疾病模型,对饮水途径摄入NDMA造成的健康风险进行估算.结果表明,我国城市饮用水中由于NDMA造成的终身癌症发病率为5.69×10~(-6),人均DALYs损失为6.27×10~(-7)人·a~(-1).以WHO所推荐的风险可接受水平(DALYs)(10~(-6)人·a~(-1))来制定饮用水中NDMA浓度安全标准,应为6.12 ng·L~(-1).考虑到我国水厂工艺情况,未来NDMA的安全标准设在6~40 ng·L~(-1)范围内更合理.最终的水质标准仍需进一步考虑其他经济和技术水平等因素.     

国内外饮用水余氯限值及监测方法的研究进展

新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间大规模使用含氯消毒剂,其残留可能对水环境及人体健康造成影响.我国饮用水水源地质量标准并未设置余氯项目及其浓度限值,且缺乏统一的余氯现场快速分析方法标准.为公共卫生事件发生期间的水质余氯监测与评价提供参考,对国内外饮用水标准余氯限值、实验室标准分析方法、现场快速分析方法等进行汇总分析,结果表明:①不同国家和地区以及WHO（World Health Organization,世界卫生组织）在饮用水标准中分别设置了出厂水中余氯限值（范围为0.1~2.0 mg/L）、管网末梢水中余氯限值（范围为0.1~1.8 mg/L）及饮用水中余氯最大允许浓度（范围为4~5 mg/L）.②比色法、容量法因其具有反应迅速且稳定、准确度及精密度较高等优点而成为国内外实验室主要标准或推荐分析方法,高效液相色谱法检出限最低,灵敏度最高,可用于余氯痕量分析.③余氯现场快速分析方法多以比色法为主,在线监测方法多为电化学方法,但缺乏统一的标准方法.研究显示,国外饮用水标准中余氯最大允许浓度为5 mg/L,WHO推荐高风险环境下的管网末梢余氯浓度最低为0.5 mg/L,建议尽快开展水质余氯现场监测方法标准化研究.      

The impact of UV treatment on microbial control and DBPs formation in full-scale drinking water systems in northern China

To manage potential microbial risks and meet increasingly strict drinking water health standards, UV treatment has attracted increasing attention for use in drinking water systems in China. However, the effects of UV treatment on microbial control and disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation in real municipal drinking water systems are poorly understood. Here, we collected water samples from three real drinking water systems in Beijing and Tianjin to investigate the impacts of UV treatment on microbial control and DBP formation. We employed heterotrophic plate count (HPC), flow cytometry (FCM), quantitative PCR analysis, and high-throughput sequencing to measure microorganisms in the samples. Different trends were observed between HPC and total cell count (measured by FCM), indicating that a single indicator could not reflect the real degree of biological re-growth in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs). A significant increase in the 16S rRNA gene concentration was observed when the UV system was stopped. Besides, the bacterial community composition was similar at the phylum level but differed markedly at the genera level among the three DWDSs. Some chlorine-resistant bacteria, including potential pathogens (e.g., Acinetobacter) showed a high relative abundance when the UV system was turned off. It can be concluded that UV treatment can mitigate microbial re-growth to some extent. Finally, UV treatment had a limited influence on the formation of DBPs, including trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, and nitrogenated DBPs. The findings of this study may help to understand the performance of UV treatment in real drinking water systems.     

蓝藻AOM特征与DBPs生成关系的研究进展

Identification of unknown disinfection byproducts in drinking water produced from Taihu Lake source water

Although disinfection byproducts(DBPs) in drinking water have been suggested as a cancer causing factor, the causative compounds have not yet been clarified. In this study, we used liquid chromatography quadrupole-time-of-flight spectrometry(LC-QTOF MS) to identify the unknown disinfection byproducts(DBPs) in drinking water produced from Taihu Lake source water, which is known as a convergence point for the anthropogenic pollutants discharged from intensive industrial activities in the surroundi...     

Disinfection byproduct regulatory compliance surrogates and bromide-associated risk

Natural and anthropogenic factors can alter bromide concentrations in drinking water sources. Increasing source water bromide concentrations increases the formation and alters the speciation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed during drinking water treatment. Brominated DBPs are more toxic than their chlorinated analogs, and thus have a greater impact on human health. However, DBPs are regulated based on the mass sum of DBPs within a given class (e.g., trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids), not based on species-specific risk or extent of bromine incorporation. The regulated surrogate measures are intended to protect against not only the species they directly represent, but also against unregulated DBPs that are not routinely measured. Surrogates that do not incorporate effects of increasing bromide may not adequately capture human health risk associated with drinking water when source water bromide is elevated. The present study analyzes trihalomethanes (THMs), measured as TTHM, with varying source water bromide concentrations, and assesses its correlation with brominated THM, TTHM risk and species-specific THM concentrations and associated risk. Alternative potential surrogates are evaluated to assess their ability to capture THM risk under different source water bromide concentration conditions. The results of the present study indicate that TTHM does not adequately capture risk of the regulated species when source water bromide concentrations are elevated, and thus would also likely be an inadequate surrogate for many unregulated brominated species. Alternative surrogate measures, including THM3 and the bromodichloromethane concentration, are more robust surrogates for species-specific THM risk at varying source water bromide concentrations.     

Formation of disinfection byproducts in typical Chinese drinking water

Eight typical drinking water supplies in China were selected in this study. Both source and tap water were used to investigate the occurrence of chlorinated disinfection byproducts (DBPs), and seasonal variation in the concentrations of trihalomethanes (THMs) of seven water sources was compared. The results showed that the pollution level for source water in China, as shown by DBP formation potential, was low. The most encountered DBPs were chloroform, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and chlorodibromoacetic acid. The concentration of every THMs and haloacetic acid (HAA) compound was under the limit of standards for drinking water quality. The highest total THMs concentrations were detected in spring.     

氯、氯胺消毒下钱江源水源水消毒副产物形成特征研究

以钱江源水源水为研究对象,以氯、氯胺为消毒方式,研究了不同消毒条件下,三卤甲烷(THMs)、卤乙腈(HANs)、氯代酮(CKs)、二卤乙酸(DHAAs)、三卤乙酸(THAAs)等消毒副产物(DBPs)的形成情况,以便为水务工作者监测钱江源建库前后水质、DBPs形成的变化提供基础数据.结果显示,氯消毒下DBPs的产量比氯胺消毒高出3~7倍甚至1个数量级,但不管是氯消毒还是氯胺消毒,THMs、HAAs形成量均在我国饮用水标准范围内.氯消毒下,大部分DBPs产量为中、碱性条件酸性条件(除了CKs),氯胺消毒则呈现不同的情况(所有DBPs的产量均为p H=6、p H=7p H=8).消毒剂量对所有DBPs形成具有明显的促进作用;溴离子对THMs、DHANs、DHAAs的形成有明显的促进作用.进一步研究表明,钱江源水源水的水质比钱塘江下游九溪水源水好,DBPs形成也较低,某些指标(如有机碳、有机氮、HANs形成量等)甚至比同省水质较好的金兰水库还要好;而且由于其较高的比紫外吸收值(SUVA),DBPs的溴嵌入能力均比九溪水源水、金兰水库低.此外,就目前的钱江源水源水来说,控制消毒剂量(氯、或氯胺)是控制DBPs形成的有效策略.     

Evaluation of N-acetylcysteine and glutathione as quenching agents for the analysis of halogenated disinfection by-products

Disinfection by-products (DBPs), formed from the reactions of disinfectants with natural organic matter and halides in drinking water, were considered to be cytotoxic and genotoxic, and might trigger various cancers. The relatively low concentration of DBPs in finished water (low µg/L or even ng/L levels) and the interference from water matrix inhibited in situ determination of DBPs. Moreover, the further formation and degradation of DBPs by disinfectants during the holding time (several hours to several days) from sample collection to analysis could adversely affect the determination of DBPs. To obtain accurate, precise and reliable data of DBP occurrence and formation, robust and reliable sample preservation is indispensable. However, the commonly used quenching agents (e.g., sodium sulfite, sodium thiosulfate, and ascorbic acid) for sample preservation can decompose reactive DBPs by reductive dehalogenation. This study evaluated the performance of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and glutathione (GSH) as quenching agents for the analysis of halogenated DBPs by investigating the stoichiometry of the disinfectant-quenching agent reaction, the formation of DBPs during chlor(am)ination of NAC or GSH, and the effects of NAC or GSH on the stability of 18 individual DBPs and total organic halogen (TOX). Based on the results of this study, NAC and GSH were considered to be ideal quenching agents for the analysis of most DBPs and TOX, except halonitromethanes.     

Disinfection by-product (DBP) research in China: Are we on the track?

Disinfection by-products (DBPs) formed during water disinfection has drawn significant public concern due to its toxicity. Since the first discovery of the trihalomethanes in 1974, continued effort has been devoted on DBPs worldwide to investigate the formation mechanism, levels, toxicity and control measures in drinking water. This review summarizes the main achievements on DBP research in China, which included: (1) the investigation of known DBP occurrence in drinking water of China; (2) the enhanced removal of DBP precursor by water treatment process; (3) the disinfection optimization to minimize DBP formation; and (4) the identification of unknown DBPs in drinking water. Although the research of DBPs in China cover the whole formation process of DBPs, there is still a challenge in effectively controlling the drinking water quality risk induced by DBPs, an integrated research framework including chemistry, toxicology, engineering, and epidemiology is especially crucial.     

Chemistry and controversy: the regulation of environmental chromium

The regulation of chromium in drinking water and sludge illustrates some of the challenges of regulating a chemical with complex environmental chemistry in a dynamic regulatory environment. The controversies evoked in setting environmental standards for chromium reflect technical uncertainties and the conflicting values of affected parties including regulators, citizens potentially exposed to chromium pollution, polluting industries, and research scientists. Regulatory limits for chromium in water and sludge recognize the paradoxical nature of chromium chemistry but also illustrate how the use of risk assessment can alter the regulatory approach. The framework of rationality as described by Crawford-Brown is suggested as a useful tool for evaluating regulatory limits for environmental contaminants. Science-based policies are most rational when they reflect the characteristics of rationality with respect to the ends or objectives sought, the means chosen to achieve these ends, and the beliefs that substantiate the chosen means and ends. If scientific research is to be applied to regulatory or environmental policy questions, then the traditional focus on the rationality of empirically based scientific beliefs must be expanded to consider the focus of the research question and the methodologies used.
