腐殖酸对铊污染土壤中铊形态和分布的影响

选用云浮含铊硫铁矿周围冲积土壤为供试样品,在土样中投加不同比例腐殖酸,采用连续浸提法对比研究了外源腐殖酸对受铊污染土中的铊不同形态及活性的影响.结果表明:随腐殖酸投入比的加大,酸可交换态含量明显下降,Fe/Mn氧化物结合态反之,有机质结合态与Fe/Mn氧化物结合态雷同,残余态几乎无变化;腐殖酸对酸可交换态铊分配比率最高为13.6%～30.5%,分别是有机态铊和Fe/Mn氧化态铊的2.8～15.1倍和2.8～3.7倍.结果说明腐殖酸有降低冲积土壤上有害活动态铊的功能,其作用机制在于腐殖酸具备的络合(螯合)能力和胶体特性.研究确认,腐殖酸可作为土壤重金属污染修复的优质材料.

研究了外源可溶性稀土进入土壤后的形态分布及形态转化的时间进程。外源稀土进入土壤（华北潮土）后迅速向各个形态转化,实验进行了６０ｄ,稀土形态在此期间的变化结果表明：交换态迅速下降;碳酸盐结合态的变化情况与交换态基本相同,只是下降的幅度较交换态小;铁锰氧化物结合态生微弱地上升,然后逐步下降;有机结合态则先稳定再逐步升高,外源稀土可在此态积累;残渣态在实验期内基本稳定,无明显变化。     

有机肥对铅在土壤中形态分配的影响

为了解铅污染商品有机肥对培养土壤中铅形态的影响以及低铅含量有机肥对外源铅污染土壤中铅形态分配的影响,在海南采集了4种商品有机肥样品,进行有机肥与土壤铅污染的老化培养实验.结果表明,原土壤中重金属铅主要以交换态(33.43%)和残渣态(30.03%)存在,随着海藻有机肥(HK01)和羊粪有机肥(DF01)施肥量的增加,处理土壤中交换态铅的比例显著降低(P0.05),有机结合态从9.56%提高到22.05%.外源铅(250 mg·kg-1)污染土壤中以交换态(36.21%)、铁锰态(27.03%)和碳酸盐结合态铅(23.54%)为主;随着有机肥料添加量的增大,格瑞龙有机肥处理后,污染土壤中的交换态铅的比例有所下降,添加量为10%时比例最低为27.80%;有机结合态和残渣态铅的比例上升,在20%时比例最大为13.68%、13.35%.鱼蛋白豆粕有机肥处理的土壤中交换态铅和碳酸盐结合态铅比例下降,在添加量为20%时比例分别降低到11.75%和11.89%,铁锰氧化物结合态铅变化不显著;铅主要转入有机结合态铅和残渣态,平均增长比例分别为8.42%、3.03%.施用有机肥经过足够长时间的老化均会使土壤中的有效性高的铅转化成稳定态的铅,因此有机肥对铅污染的土壤的修复作用较大.但是由于重金属铅的移动性差,会累积在土壤表层,施用有机肥前还是要经过检测,选用相对安全的有机肥改良土壤.     

外源重金属在珠江河口湿地土壤中的形态转化

采集珠江口湿地土壤,采用室内培养和Tessier化学逐级连续浸提方法研究了外源重金属在珠江河口湿地土壤中的化学形态转化,探讨了盐分变化对重金属形态转化的影响.试验结果表明,外源重金属进入珠江河口湿地土壤后主要以可利用态和潜在可利用态存在,Ni、Zn、Cu、Cr和Pb主要向铁锰氧化物结合态转化,而Cd主要向可交换态和碳酸盐结合态转化.土壤盐分含量递增对重金属Cu、Zn、Ni和Cr的形态分布无显著影响,对重金属Pb和Cd的影响主要体现在可交换态.在土壤盐分添加量不超过80 g·kg-1时,随着土壤含盐量的上升,土壤Cd和Pb的可交换态比例逐步增大.     

污染黑土中重金属的形态分布与生物活性研究

通过对污染和清洁黑土的耕层、非耕层分层采样分析,比较了Cd,Pb,Cu和Zn等在同一土壤耕层和非耕层以及不同采样点土壤中的形态分布和生物活性.结果表明,无污染黑土中这些重金属的形态分布一般为:残渣态>有机结合态>铁锰结合态>碳酸盐结合态>可交换态,外源污染则使可交换态重金属的含量增加.以生物有效性系数和迁移系数进行重金属生物活性评价,其在黑土中生物活性大小的顺序为:Cd>Cu>Zn>Pb.污染愈严重的土壤,重金属的生物活性和自身的淋溶能力相对较强,在非耕层中也表现出较高的生物活性.综合重金属在土壤中的含量和生物活性,发现2个污染点的黑土中Cd和Pb对当地农业生产和地下水安全已构成潜在的威胁.

北方常见农作物根际土壤中铅、锌的形态转化及其植物有效性

采用盆栽试验结合形态分析技术研究了北方地区常见农作物对污染土壤中铅(Pb)、锌(Zn)的形态转化及其植物有效性的影响。土壤Pb、Zn形态分析结果显示,与非根际土壤相比,多数作物根际可交换态、碳酸盐结合态、有机质结合态Pb比例降低,而铁锰氧化物结合态、残渣态Pb则显著增加;Zn则表现为可交换态比例略呈降低趋势,碳酸盐结合态、铁锰氧化物结合态与有机质结合态升高,残渣态Zn则大幅下降。这提示,作物根际土壤Pb存在由松结合态向紧结合态转化的现象,从而植物有效性降低;而根际土壤Zn的形态变化则与Pb相反,即由紧结合态向松结合态转化,相应地提高了Zn的植物有效性。     

伴随阴离子对土壤Cd形态转化的影响

化学性质各异的伴随阴离子通过影响进入土壤的外源Cd2+后的形态转化,而影响其迁移特性和生物毒性。对此进行了解将有助于采取相应的防治镉污染的技术措施。通过室内连续培养试验(0~70 d),研究了伴随阴离子(NO3-、C1-、SO42-)对Cd2+在土壤中的吸附特性、形态分配与转化特性的影响。结果表明,伴随阴离子对添加外源Cd2+溶液后的土壤Cd吸附作用能力表现为:SO42-NO3-C1-;SO42-处理在20 d时吸附率达最大值(93.61%);NO3-与C1-处理在30 d时吸附率达最大值,分别为82.25%、67.97%。初始状态土壤中Cd主要以残渣态存在,可交换态Cd含量与比例最低,占总Cd含量不到10%。添加1.0 mmol·L-1外源Cd2+处理后,在培养期内(0~70 d),表现为可交换态Cd含量铁锰氧化物结合态Cd含量碳酸盐结合态Cd含量残渣态Cd含量有机结合态Cd含量。土壤可交换态Cd在0~70 d分配系数达到38%~61%,其中SO42-处理培养10 d达到最大值(61.09%),NO3-与C1-处理30 d时达到最大值(分别为43.74%和41.80%)。土壤碳酸盐结合态Cd含量在30 d时趋于饱和,其含量(0~70 d)表现为SO42-C1-NO3-。3种伴随阴离子处理的土壤铁锰氧化物结合态Cd含量在0~50d无显著性差异。有机结合态Cd和残渣态Cd含量随着培养周期延长而逐渐增加,但其吸收转化分配比例相对可交换态、碳酸盐结合态和铁锰氧化物结合态低。从生物利用度系数来评价镉形态的危害程度,初始状态土壤中其危害程度表现为生物潜在可利用态生物难利用态生物易利用态。添加1.0 mmol·L-1的外源Cd2+溶液后,SO42-处理的表现为:生物易利用态生物潜在可利用态生物难利用态;C1-和NO3-处理的表现为生物潜在可利用态生物易利用态生物难利用态。这表明,镉形态在SO42-处理伴随下对土壤造成的危害程度相对C1-和NO3-处理严重。外源Cd2+溶液进入土壤主要转化为可交换态Cd(SO42-NO3-C1-),SO42-处理培养10 d达到最大值(转化系数为61.09%)。可交换态Cd在土壤中具有较强的迁移性,容易被生物吸收利用,对环境影响最大。

Uranium quantification in groundwater and health risk from its ingestion in Haryana,India

Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element which may cause toxicological or radiological hazards to the public if present in drinking water. This study reports the quantification of uranium in groundwater of major towns of the district Fatehabad, Haryana, India. Uranium concentrations ranged between 0.3 and 48 μg L^?1. In 22% of the groundwater samples, uranium concentrations were higher than the World Health Organization maximum permissible limit of 30 µg L^?1. The radiological dose for males was found to be in the range of 4.8?×?10^?4–7.1?×?10^?2 mSv y^?1 and for females 3.5?×?10^?4–5.2?×?10^?2 mSv y^?1. The results showed that due to the ingestion of groundwater in the study area, radiological cancer risk is in the range of 9.1?×?10^?7–1.3?×?10^?4, lower than the risk limit. Uranium ingestion from groundwater varied from 0.02 to 3.5 µg kg^?1 day^?1, which is within acceptable limit.     

Uranium Accumulation of Crop Plants Enhanced by Citric Acid

Citric acid was applied to soil to enhance U accumulation in four crop plants. While the highest enhanced U accumulation of aboveground tissues (a.c. 2000 mg kg⁻¹ dry weight) occurred in the leaves of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), the highest enhanced U accumulation of roots (a.c. 3500 mg kg⁻¹ dry weight) occurred in canola (Brassica napus var. napus). Uranium translocation among tissues of test plants is in the relation of roots>shoots ≅ leaves. The flowers of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) contained similar or higher U concentrations than those found in shoots, but concentrations in seeds are close to zero. In conclusion, Indian mustard is recommended as a potential species for phytoextraction for U-contaminated soil due to its high U accumulation of aboveground biomass (a.c. 2200 μg per plant). There is no evidence that two types of soils cause a significant difference of the enhanced U accumulation (p<0.05). Results, however, indicate that additional citric acid may result in downward U migration that may contaminate groundwater. Speciation of U that is taken up by plants is also discussed in the end.

铀胁迫对两种蓝藻生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响

研究了不同浓度铀(0.1、1.0、10.0和30.0mg·L-1)胁迫对满江红鱼腥藻(Anabaena azollae)和爪哇伪枝藻(Scytonemaj avanicum)生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响。结果表明,低浓度铀(0.1和1.0mg·L-1)条件下,两种蓝藻的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性及丙二醛(MDA)含量均无明显变化;叶绿素a含量和可溶性蛋白质含量均较对照上升,表明低浓度铀对A.azollae和S.javanicum均未形成明显胁迫,对生长表现为刺激和促进作用。10.0mg·L-1浓度的铀对A. azollae的生长影响不大,对S. javanicum却产生了明显的抑制作用。30.0mg·L-1铀胁迫下,两种蓝藻中的MDA显著增加,抗氧化酶系统受到破坏,生长严重受阻。实验结果显示,A. azollae和S. javanicum的耐铀极限分别在10.0～30.0mg·L-1和1.0～10.0mg·L-1之间,A. azollae的抗铀性比S. javanicum强。

Uranium speciation in river sediments contaminated by phosphate ores

Large amounts of phosphate ores with high concentrations of uranium were dumped by a phosphate plant into the Flix water reservoir in the Ebre River, Catalonia, NE Spain. These phosphate wastes have been mixed over the years with effluents from other industries as well as with the sediments of the river, resulting in a complex mixture of solid wastes and sediments. No investigations on uranium speciation in such sediments were made because of the complexity of the sediments composition as well as the relatively low uranium content. However, these studies are necessary in order to predict the release of the uranium to the river waters. Here, we studied uranium speciation in sediments from two sampling points of the Flix water reservoir and at depths from 5 to 113 cm. We used room temperature time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy and a three-step sequential extraction procedure described by the Standards, Measurements, and Testing Programme of the European Union. We found that uranium was mainly present in the sediment samples as meta-autunite [Ca(UO₂)₂(PO₄)₂·10–12H₂O], whose low solubility will result in a low release of uranium to the river waters. In addition, we found that some uranium was linked to sediments by forming surface complexes. We therefore made the first study of uranium speciation in the sediments of the Flix water reservoir.     

Functional and morphological alterations induced by uranyl nitrate in rat submandibular gland

Exposure to uranium (U) is an occupational hazard to workers who continually handle it and an environmental risk to the population at large. Adverse effects of U on different tissues, particularly kidneys, have been reported. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether U might produce damage to the rat submandibular gland (SMG). Uranyl nitrate (UN) was used to evaluate the secretory responses to norepinephrine (NE) or to the parasympathomimetic agent, methacholine (MC), along with some morphological and histological parameters. In addition, the presence of U in saliva was determined by atomic absorption spectrometric techniques. Results indicate that intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of a single dose of UN (2 or 4 mg kg^?1) induced a functional decrease in the induced secretory responses in the rat SMG, demonstrating for the first time that U interferes with salivary secretion. Moreover, salivary responses to MC as well as to NE were decreased after UN administration, in time- and dose-dependent manner, displaying a higher diminution after 7 days post injection. In agreement with the functional studies, the injection of UN produced morphological alterations of SMG, consisting in a reduction of mean acinar area and a marked vacuolization. Data indicate that UN produced an adverse effect in a dose- and time-dependent manner on SMG function and morphology. Furthermore, it was shown that U was incorporated in saliva and therefore, these findings may contribute to create a useful, noninvasive method to detect the exposure to U.     

Soil uranium,basement radon and lung cancer in Illinois,USA

Using counties as the sampling unit, a significant association between the chemical form of uranium occurring in soils with basement radon levels was found (Spearman r, 0.266; p > |r|, 0.007). Uranium atoms dispersed throughout the soil matrix are efficient emanators of Rn to soil gas, whereas Rn that is trapped diffuses very slowly from the several U-bearing minerals in Illinois soils and does not contribute significantly to explaining basement Rn. Basement Rn level is correlated with annual incidence of male and female lung cancers. Dispersed U is correlated with annual incidence of lung cancer in females with a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.162 (p > |r|, 0.104) and males of 0.177 (p > |r|, 0.075).     

Toxic elements in well water from Malaysia

Toxic elements present in well water that is used for drinking pose a threat to the human health in many countries. However, there are few reports on the toxic elements in well water in Malaysia. Since a native doctor informed us about the increasing number of patients with depigmented skin (vitiligo) in Rosob Village, Sabah State, Malaysia, the origin of diseases associated with well water was suspected. Thus, the concentrations of 15 toxic elements in 52 well water samples from Rosob (n = 21), and the control areas of Pitas (n = 8) and Telaga (n = 23) within the same state were measured. No toxic elements with levels exceeding that of the WHO health-based guidelines were detected in the well water samples from Pitas and Telaga. On the other hand, the concentration levels of arsenic (As), uranium (U), and manganese (Mn), independently found in 19% (4/21), 4.8% (1/21), and 19% (4/21), respectively, of the well water samples from Rosob, exceeded the levels given in the WHO health-based guidelines. In the well water samples from Rosob, the average concentration of Mn was found to be higher and its maximum value with levels up to 10-fold higher, respectively, than the value in the WHO health-based guidelines. Significant correlations between Mn and As and between Mn and U were noted. Thus, for the first time, the results of this pilot study showed that the levels of the toxic elements in 42.9% (9/21) of well water samples from Rosob in Malaysia were higher than the values in WHO health-based guidelines indicating the need for further studies.
