4种短链全氟化合物替代物在城市污水处理厂的污染特征研究

全氟辛烷羧酸(perfluorooctanoic acid,PFOA)和全氟辛烷磺酸(perfluorooctyl sulfonate,PFOS)等长链全氟化合物(perfluorinated compounds,PFCs)具有持久性、生物累积性和毒性,近年来发现一些短链PFCs具有相对较短的半衰期,可以成为PFOA和PFOS的替代品,这些物质包括C4和C6结构的PFCs,如全氟丁烷羧酸(perfluorobutanoic acid,PFBA)、全氟己烷羧酸(perfluorohexanoic acid,PFHx A)、全氟丁烷磺酸(perfluorobutyl sulfonate,PFBS)和全氟己烷磺酸(perfluorohexyl sulfonate,PFHx S)。为解析我国城市污水厂短链PFCs污染水平和地域分布特征,本研究调查了我国不同地区17座城市污水处理厂的进水、二沉出水和污泥中4种短链PFCs的分布和浓度水平。结果表明4种短链PFCs、PFOA和PFOS在17座污水厂进水中检出率均为100%(6种目标物单体浓度范围:0.19~274.72 ng·L-1);污泥中PFOS和PFOA检出率为100%(PFOS:2.08~72.31 ng·g-1,PFOA:1.03~24.81 ng·g-1),PFBA、PFHx A检出率为100%(0.60~3.33 ng·g-1),PFBS和PFHx S的检出率分别为42.11%和63.16%。在污水厂进水中,将PFOA和PFOS与其同类的短链PFCs浓度进行比较,发现短链PFCs分别相对于PFOA和PFOS的比例最高可达93.47%和94.57%。4种短链PFCs、PFOA和PFOS的地域分布差异明显,总浓度呈现出华东、华南地区高于西北、东北、华北地区的趋势,其中华东地区调查的污水处理厂浓度最高。污水厂4种短链替代物主要通过污水排放,不同污水厂的日排放总量(污泥和出水)为0.25~273.07 g·d-1,万吨水排放量范围为0.04~1.37 g。研究将为我国全氟化合物替代物污染和控制提供数据基础和科学依据。

以全氟辛烷羧酸(PFOA)和全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)为代表的全氟化合物(PFCs),在日用消费品和工业生产中被广泛使用,并可通过各种途径大量进入环境.在全球各类环境介质以及生物体中已经普遍检测到了PFCs的存在.目前有关水环境中PFCs的分布及归趋研究,主要针对PFOS和PFOA及其长链同系物.随着PFOS和PFOA的禁用,一系列短链同系物作为替代物质进入生产和应用领域,并最终进入环境.目前针对短链全氟化合物的分析方法报道的还较少.     

全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)对半滑舌鳎肝脏细胞的毒性效应

为探究海洋环境中持久性有机污染物——全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)的生物毒性效应,以半滑舌鳎肝脏细胞(HTLC)为研究对象,将其暴露于含不同浓度PFOS的DMEM-F12培养基中,分别染毒24、48、72 h后,利用噻唑蓝比色法(MTT)和透射电镜实验评价PFOS的细胞毒性;同时测定活性氧自由基(ROS)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性来探讨PFOS对细胞的氧化损伤效应。结果发现,细胞活性随PFOS浓度升高呈先促进后抑制趋势,当PFOS浓度达到1 000%mol·L-1时细胞活性受到显著抑制(P0.01);电镜结果显示PFOS能引起与代谢相关的细胞器如线粒体、内质网等发生肿胀甚至破损;与对照组相比,ROS含量和SOD活性分别在20%mol·L-1、200%mol·L-1开始出现显著性差异(P0.05),证实在PFOS引起的氧化应激反应中SOD起到了清除自由基作用以维持细胞稳态。研究表明,PFOS对海洋鱼类细胞具有一定的生物毒性,能引起细胞产生氧化应激反应,并进一步破坏生物膜系统,从而导致细胞增殖和多种代谢途径受到抑制。     

全氟辛基磺酸及其替代产品的内分泌干扰效应评价

为研究全氟辛基磺酸(PFOS)及其替代品的内分泌干扰效应,将重组人雌激素/雄激素/孕激素/甲状腺激素/维甲酸受体基因的双杂交酵母暴露于不同浓度的PFOS及替代品中,并结合体外代谢活化技术检测直接和间接的类/抗激素活性。结果表明,被替代品PFOS表现为雄激素受体、甲状腺受体和维甲酸受体拮抗剂,且在代谢活化后新增了雌激素受体拮抗效应,其半数效应浓度(EC₅₀)在3.0×10^-4～4.8×10^-3 g·L^-1之间;同时,4种替代化学品没有任何效应检出,说明不会通过与核受体结合干扰天然激素的正常功能。研究结果说明,与原化学品相比,替代产品的应用在内分泌干扰效应方面可能具有更低的环境风险。     

PFOS对多齿围沙蚕CYPs、GST基因转录及酶活性的毒性效应

多毛类沙蚕已经广泛应用于海洋环境污染的生物监测,但其对新型持久性有机污染物全氟辛烷磺酰基化合物PFOS的毒理学研究尚无报道。本研究以潮间带优势种多齿围沙蚕(Perinereis nuntia)为研究对象,以细胞色素P450(CYP)、谷胱甘肽硫转移酶(GST)的基因和酶作为联合指标,研究了在PFOS亚致死浓度(4、8、16 mg·L-1)暴露第1、4、7、14天及净水恢复5 d后多齿围沙蚕CYP431A1、CYP424A1基因转录水平和EROD酶活性、GST omega基因转录水平和GST酶活性的响应情况。结果表明,PFOS暴露对EROD的抑制具有明显的时间-效应关系;CYP2系成员CYP431A1基因转录水平对PFOS的响应具有良好的剂量-效应关系并在胁迫第14天表现出最高的可诱导性;CYP4系基因CYP424A1的转录在4、8 mg·L-1处理组中与PFOS暴露时间正相关。II相解毒系统成员GST酶活和GST omega基因的响应均表现出随着PFOS胁迫时间的延长先下降,后上升的规律;多齿围沙蚕在高强度PFOS胁迫下仍可加速新陈代谢,表现出对PFOS的耐受性;净水恢复阶段,各指标都有向对照组水平恢复的趋势。总之,基因和蛋白的响应表明CYPs和GST在多齿围沙蚕PFOS新陈代谢中发挥重要作用,这些基因和酶具有作为生物标志物监测海洋潮间带PFOS污染效应的潜力。

胚胎期和哺乳早期全氟辛烷磺酸盐(PFOS)暴露对大鼠肝脏脂肪酸代谢影响的microRNA组学研究

研究低剂量全氟辛烷磺酸(perfluorooctane sulfonate,PFOS)对大鼠幼仔肝脏中microRNA的表达及脂肪酸代谢的影响,并且从microRNA分子角度探讨PFOS对肝脏相关功能影响的分子毒性机制及预测其他一些潜在的毒性效应。PFOS染毒剂量为3.2mg·kg-1,对照组给予同等体积的含2%的聚氧乙烯山梨糖醇酐单月桂酸酯乳化剂(Tween 20),利用高通量miRNA芯片技术观察了胚胎期和哺乳早期经PFOS染毒后出生第1和7天(PND1和PND7)大鼠肝脏组织miRNA的表达情况。结果显示,PFOS能够引起仔鼠肝脏microRNA表达量的变化,PND1和PND7时显著变化的microRNA个数分别为46和9个。miR-125a-3p、miR-23a*、miR-25及miR-494同时在PND1和PND7显著性表达,PND1呈现下调性变化,PND7呈现上调性变化。通过生物信息学和统计学分析发现:PFOS具有大鼠肝脏早期发育毒性,而且胚胎期的毒性效应强于哺乳早期;大鼠幼仔肝脏早期发育中,PFOS对其糖脂代谢及细胞凋亡过程具有毒性效应;胚胎期和哺乳早期,在低剂量PFOS暴露下,β和ω氧化代谢是肝脏脂肪酸代谢的主要方式;脂酰COA合成酶、脂酰COA脱氢酶及烯酰COA水合酶等脂肪酸代谢过程的关键酶,是PFOS暴露下microRNA潜在的靶分子。研究表明,PFOS具有多种肝脏早期发育毒性,低剂量PFOS暴露下,microRNA能够调节肝脏脂肪酸代谢相关靶基因的表达,进而调控脂肪酸代谢过程。     

全氟辛烷磺酸在大连区域环境多介质中的归趋模拟

阐明污染物的环境归趋对于其污染控制和生态风险评价具有重要意义。本文构建了三级环境多介质逸度模型,研究全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)在大连区域环境多介质中的分布及其迁移规律。结果表明,PFOS在大气、水、土壤和沉积物相的模拟浓度分别为5.10 pg·m-3、22.60 ng·L-1、2.25μg·kg-1和0.34μg·kg-1,与实测值较为一致。环境相间的迁移主要是大气向土壤中迁移和土壤向水中的迁移,水和土壤是大连区域PFOS的主要的汇。PFOS在大气和水相的平流输入为主要的污染来源,而大气的平流输出是其主要的输出途径。灵敏度分析表明,有机碳分配系数、溶解度、水和气相平流输入、土壤中水的径流速率以及温度是影响模型结果的主要参数。不确定分析则表明,整体参数的变化对水体输出结果影响最大,对沉积物影响最小。本研究较好地模拟了PFOS在大连区域环境多介质中的迁移和归趋,可为其污染控制和生态风险评价提供科学依据。     

A review of spatial and temporal assessment of PFOS and PFOA contamination in China

The current state of concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in China is presented. While products that are known to degrade to either PFOS or PFOA have been used in China, concentrations in environmental media have been reported to be relatively low across China. Greater concentrations of PFOS and PFOA were observed in southern and eastern China than in other areas of China. Concentrations of PFOS and PFOA were relatively great in the Huangpu River, with concentrations of 20.5 ng l^?1 and 1590 ng l^?1, respectively. Surface waters of Dongguan and Shanghai were more contaminated by PFOS and PFOA than that of other cities. Dongguan was the only city in China in which PFOS value in surface water exceeded the water quality criterion, while PFOA concentration in Shanghai was 152 ng l^?1. Similar to other contaminants, point-source pollution was also the common pattern of PFOS and PFOA contamination. Concentrations of PFOS in human blood in China were relatively greater in China than other countries, with drinking water contamination given as the most likely source. Concentrations of PFOS in human blood have increased from the 1980s to the 2000s, while such a trend was not observed for PFOA.     

生产企业及周边环境中全氟化合物的污染特征

生产企业作为全氟化合物(perfluorinated compounds,PFCs)的直接来源地,现今被认为是PFCs污染的主要来源之一,同时其对周边环境具有更加直接而重大的影响。我国对生产企业周边环境中PFCs污染特性研究的报道较缺乏,补充丰富各地生产企业周边环境的PFCs污染特征,可为PFCs点源分析和污染溯源提供依据。以湖北省孝昌县某化工有限公司为典型生产企业,采集7个采样点的水体和土壤样品,分析典型地区环境介质中PFCs的污染现状与特征。结果显示,11种目标PFCs污染物在水体中有7种、土壤中有6种不同程度地检出,环境水体中PFCs的总浓度介于4.70~40.22μg·L-1,土壤中PFCs的总浓度介于58.22~2 075.60 ng·g-1之间。全氟辛基磺酸(PFOS)为典型行业周边水体和土壤中最主要的PFCs污染物,其次是水体中的全氟己基磺酸钾(PFHx S)、全氟丁烷磺酸钾(PFBS)和土壤中的全氟辛酸(PFOA)、全氟己基磺酸钾(PFHx S)。PFCs检出浓度的大小与采样点距典型企业的距离极其相关,距离与污染物总量之间呈显著负相关性,但周边环境中PFCs的种类和构成比,不受与点源之间距离的影响。     

Selective sorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate on molecularly imprinted polymer adsorbents

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), as a potential persistent organic pollutant, has been widely detected in water environments, and has become a great concern in recent years. PFOS is very stable and difficult to decompose using conventional techniques. Sorption may be an attractive method to remove it from water. In this study, the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) adsorbents were prepared through the polymerization of 4-vinylpyridine under different preparation conditions in order to remove perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) from water. The MIP adsorbents using perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as the template had good imprinting effects and could selectively remove PFOS from aqueous solution. The sorption behaviors including sorption kinetics, isotherms, and effect of pH, salt, and competitive anions were investigated. Experimental results showed that the sorption of PFOS on the MIP adsorbents was very fast, pH-dependent, and highly selective. The achieved fast sorption equilibrium within 1 h was attributed to the surface sorption on the fine adsorbents. The sorption isotherms showed that the sorption selectivity of PFOS on the MIP adsorbents decreased at high PFOS concentrations, which may be due to the double-layer sorption and the formation of PFOS micelles on the sorbent surface. The sorption of PFOS on the MIP adsorbents was mainly dominated by the electrostatic interaction between the protonated vinylpyridine on the adsorbent surface and the anionic PFOS. The prepared MIP adsorbents can potentially be applied in water and wastewater treatment for selective removal of PFOS.     

Thermal defluorination behaviors of PFOS,PFOA and PFBS during regeneration of activated carbon by molten salt

• New method of mineralizing PFCs was proposed. • Activated carbon was regenerated while mineralizing PFCs. • Molten NaOH has good mineralization effect on PFOS and PFBS. Current study proposes a green regeneration method of activated carbon (AC) laden with Perfluorochemicals (PFCs) from the perspective of environmental safety and resource regeneration. The defluorination efficiencies of AC adsorbed perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS) using three molten sodium salts and one molten alkali were compared. Results showed that defluorination efficiencies of molten NaOH for the three PFCs were higher than the other three molten sodium salts at lower temperature. At 700°C, the defluorination efficiencies of PFOS and PFBS using molten NaOH reached to 84.2% and 79.2%, respectively, while the defluorination efficiency of PFOA was 35.3%. In addition, the temperature of molten salt, the holding time and the ratio of salt to carbon were directly proportional to the defluorination efficiency. The low defluorination efficiency of PFOA was due to the low thermal stability of PFOA, which made it difficult to be captured by molten salt.The weight loss range of PFOA was 75°C–125°C, which was much lower than PFOS and PFBS (400°C–500°C). From the perspective of gas production, fluorine-containing gases produced from molten NaOH-treated AC were significantly reduced, which means that environmental risks were significantly reduced. After molten NaOH treatment, the regenerated AC had higher adsorption capacity than that of pre-treated AC.     

Effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate on behavioural activity,regeneration and antioxidant enzymes in planarian Dugesia japonica

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant and has been found to be the predominant perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in the environment. In the present study, planarian Dugesia japonica is employed to investigate the toxicity of this compound. The behavioural activity, survival, regeneration and antioxidant enzyme activities of the D. japonica exposed to PFOS were investigated. The results showed that the planarian D. japonica is very sensitive to low concentration pollutants including PFOS and suitable for toxicological bioassays. PFOS has severe toxicity in inducing oxidative stress, regeneration and development toxicity in planarians. The toxicity is indicated by reduced planarian locomotor velocity (pLMV), reduced appearance of auricles in regenerating animals, changed in antioxidant enzyme SOD and CAT activities. The information presented in this study will help elucidating the PFOS-induced toxicity in aquatic organisms.     

Twenty years of achievements in China’s implementation of the Stockholm Convention

● China’s implementation of the SC was systematically studied. ● Implementation process of the SC can be roughly divided into three stages. ● DDT and HCH concentrations in the air have been steadily decreasing. ● China has safely disposed of 6352.1 tons of pesticide POPs. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are extremely harmful to the environment and human health; the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants was therefore adopted by the international community in 2001 to eliminate or reduce the production, use, and emissions of POPs. China is the largest developing country that has signed the Stockholm Convention, and thus plays an important role in its implementation. This paper systematically studies the practice and achievements of China since it signed the Stockholm Convention 20 years ago. China has established an implementation guarantee system including institutions, implementation mechanisms, policies, law enforcement, and scientific and technological support. During the 20 years since the implementation of the Stockholm Convention, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) concentrations in the air have been steadily decreasing, and Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid/Perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOS/PFOSF) concentrations in water bodies have decreased. In the past 20 years, China has safely disposed of 6352.1 tons of pesticide persistent organic pollutants and 36998 sets of electrical equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), with a disposal rate of 100%. In the future, China will further strengthen the construction of persistent organic pollutant monitoring networks, scientific research, publicity, education, and international cooperation to improve environmental quality, providing a reference for other countries to implement the Stockholm Convention.     

全氟辛烷磺酸盐(PFOS)及替代品对两栖类蝌蚪的急性毒性

PFOS及其4种替代品对两栖动物非洲爪蟾和黑斑蛙蝌蚪的急性毒性结果为:用调聚法合成的织物三防整理剂对非洲爪蟾蝌蚪和黑斑蛙蝌蚪的96h-LC50分别为8和21mg·L-1,而PFOS对两种蝌蚪的96h-LC50分别为92和81mg·L-1。此实验结果说明织物三防整理剂的急性毒性高于PFOS。用电解氟化法合成的C4、C6织物三防整理剂和50%的全氟丁基有机铵盐阳离子表面活性剂浓度在100mg·L-1时,对两种蝌蚪都没有毒性。这说明,从急性毒性的角度,C4、C6织物三防整理剂和表面活性剂可作为PFOS的替代品使用,但是织物三防整理剂的急性毒性比PFOS大,作为替代品使用应慎重考虑。另外,PFOS和织物三防整理剂对黑斑蛙蝌蚪的急性毒性与对非洲爪蟾蝌蚪的急性毒性存在差异。出于保护我国本土两栖动物的目的,使用黑斑蛙开展毒性评价比使用非洲爪蟾更有现实意义。
