氯代阻燃剂得克隆对孔石莼(Ulva pertusa)繁殖及早期发育的影响

得克隆(Dechlorane Plus,DP)是一种在全世界范围内广泛使用的氯代阻燃剂,具有潜在的毒性效应。但目前已有的生态毒理学数据还十分有限。本文选择分布广泛的大型绿藻孔石莼(Ulva pertusa)作为研究对象,探讨不同浓度DP对孔石莼繁殖细胞转化及早期发育的影响。结果表明,低浓度(10-6~10-8mol·L-1)DP暴露不同程度地影响孔石莼繁殖细胞的形成、释放及附着,在试验浓度范围内呈现一定的剂量效应关系。与空白对照组相比,DP处理(10-6mol·L-1)分别使繁殖细胞的形成率、释放率和附着率显著降低了76.76%、46.26%和85.64%。在丝状幼体阶段,DP处理组(10-8和10-7mol·L-1)幼体体长分别比对照组显著减少了32.74%和38.98%。结果表明,DP暴露抑制了孔石莼的繁殖及早期发育。基于绿藻繁殖特性及早期发育的生物学指标对DP暴露较为敏感,能够为海洋环境的DP生物学效应研究提供数据。

Arsenic, copper, and zinc contamination in soil and wheat during coal mining, with assessment of health risks for the inhabitants of Huaibei, China

Field studies were conducted to investigate arsenic (As), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) contamination in agricultural soils and wheat crops at two areas in Huaibei, China. Area A is in the proximity of Shuoli coal mine. In area B, three coal mines and a coal cleaning plant were distributed. The potential health risk of As, Cu, and Zn exposure to the local inhabitants through consumption of wheat grains was also estimated. The results showed that significantly higher (p?<?0.05) concentrations of As, Cu, and Zn were found in soils collected from area B than in those from area A. Arsenic concentrations in wheat sampled from area A were negatively correlated with the distance from the coal mine (p?<?0.001). Concentrations of Cu and Zn in wheat seedlings and grains collected from area B were significantly higher (p?<?0.05) than in those collected from area A, with the exception of Zn in wheat seedlings. Concentrations of Cu and Zn in most wheat grain samples were above the permissible limits of Cu and Zn in edible plants set by the Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization. The hazard index of aggregate risk through consumption of wheat grains was 2.3–2.4 for rural inhabitants and 1.4–1.5 for urban inhabitants. The average intake of inorganic As for rural inhabitants in Huaibei was above 10 μg day^?1. These findings indicated that the inhabitants around the coal mine are experiencing a significant potential health risk due to the consumption of locally grown wheat.     

典型挥发性有机化合物在气体采样罐中的存储稳定性

选取了6种有代表性的挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）,异丙醇、二氯甲烷、乙酸乙烯酯、正己烷、苯和四氯化碳,实测了这些VOCs在气体采样罐（SUMMA罐）中的存储稳定性。结果表明：苯、正己烷和二氯甲烷在采样罐中均较稳定,其含量在84 d的存储期内基本无变化;乙酸乙烯酯在6个VOCs中最不稳定,在普通和惰性采样罐中含量均明显下降;异丙醇和四氯化碳的稳定性与采样罐的类型有关,在普通采样罐内含量下降明显,而在惰性采样罐内则相对稳定。实际监测工作中,为提高VOCs分析的准确性,如目标分析物有含氧类（醇,酮,酯等）或含卤素类VOCs,则采样后需尽快分析,同时尽量选择惰性采样罐为采样容器。     

Comparative study on consumption behaviors in private car markets between large and medium–small cities in China

With the economic development and the acceleration of motorization in China, the number of private cars increases rapidly in urban areas. However, the limit of urban resources and the contradiction between traffic supply and demand are increasingly prominent in large cities, while private car consumption has been a new “light” in medium and small cities. Consumers’ behaviors differ from region to region. Aiming at the above problems, we formulate structural equation modeling and carry out empirical research. In this paper, a comparative study about the main influential factors that affect the consumption of private cars in large and small cities in China is made, and it is hoped that some guidance for policy recommendations can be obtained.     

一种快速便捷的温室气体本底浓度采样方法初探

引入生态和气象研究领域的本底大气观测技术,提出一种便捷快速的温室气体本底浓度采样方法。该方法需要的设备简单,便于携带,能够快速完成采样。2011年5—7月,利用该方法,自西向东分别在处于我国三大阶梯的青藏高原东北缘、秦巴山区、长江中下游平原,选择不同类型的土地覆盖下垫面开展了地面采样实验,获得了33组以CO2和CH4为主的温室气体浓度数据。根据获得的采样结果,分别开展了人工采样数据分析及其与器测本底数据、卫星反演同期数据产品的对比分析,结果显示,几类数据趋势相符,数值相对偏差较低。总体认为,该方法获得的采样数据可靠、采样效率高,且成本低廉,这在我国温室气体自动监测站还比较少的现实情况下,不失为一种可选的快速便捷监测技术手段。

Adsorption of sulfamethoxazole on functionalized carbon nanotubes as affected by cations and anions

The environmental risks of antibiotics have attracted lots of research attention, but their environmental behavior is not clear yet. Functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used as model adsorbents and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was used as a model antibiotic to investigate the effect of both cations (Ca²⁺, Cs⁺) and anions (phosphate) on antibiotics adsorption. Various mechanisms (such as electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic interaction, π-π and hydrogen bonds) play roles in SMX adsorption. Cations and anions could “wedge into” these mechanisms and thus alter SMX adsorption. This study emphasized that both increased and decreased SMX adsorption could be observed with the addition of cations/anions, depending on environmental conditions (such as pH in this current study). The net effect is the balance between the increased and decreased effects. The contribution of different mechanisms to the overall antibiotic adsorption on solid particles should be identified to accurately predict the apparent effect by cations and anions.
