海河干流底泥中六氯苯残留及其释放规律

为调查海河干流底泥中六氯苯的污染程度及底泥悬浮后六氯苯的释放规律,利用Malven Mastersizer激光粒度分布仪测定海河干流5个断面底泥的粒径分布.结果表明:底泥粒径<125μm的占总质量50%左右,而>500μm只占10%左右,得出海河底泥的粒径较细,为淤泥质底泥;海河干流5断面底泥总有机碳含量在0.64%～3.40%之间;底泥中残留六氯苯浓度范围为6.8～16.7μg/kg,平均值为长江南京段底泥中六氯苯含量的2.9倍,远低于淮河底泥中六氯苯含量.考察了温度、总有机碳含量、底泥粒径以及吸附时间对六氯苯释放的影响,结果表明各因素对六氯苯的释放均有显著影响.快、慢2段一级动力学模型较好地拟合了六氯苯释放的实验数据,并得出了释放动力学参数:快速和慢速释放部分所占的质量分率F_rap,F_slow分别为37.6%和62.4%;快速和慢速释放速率常数k_rap,k_slow分别为0.066 9h^-1和0.000 5h^-1.     

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers,polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins,-furans,and-biphenyls in three species of antarctic penguins

Background, Aims and Scope Fish-eating seabirds are recognized to be at risk of accumulating toxic contaminants due to their high position in the trophic web and to their low ability to metabolize xenobiotic compounds. Penguins are widely distributed in Antarctica and represent an important fraction of the Antarctic biomass. They feed mainly on krill and, depending on krill availability, also on fish. It has been reported that predators may be a sink for volatile and toxic chemicals and this may pose a serious environmental problem. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins (PCDDs),-furans (PCDFs), and-biphenyls (PCBs), including non-ortho congeners, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and p,p′-DDE, were quantified in three species of Antarctic Pygoscelids in order to evaluate their accumulation patterns. The potential toxicity of twenty-two dioxin-like congeners was assessed and expressed as 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD equivalents (TEQs). Differences between males and females were investigated. Methods Blood samples of the Adélie penguin Pygoscelis adeliae, Chinstrap penguin Pygoscelis antarctica and Gentoo penguin Pygoscelis papua were collected at Admiralty Bay, King George Is (62°10′39″ S, 58°26′46″ W) in February 2004. Halogenated hydrocarbons were identified and quantified using gas chromatography coupled with gas chromatography mass spectrometry analyses. Results are expressed on a wet weight basis. Results and Discussion HCB, p,p′-DDE and ΣPCBs were higher in Adélie penguins (6.7±6.1, 8.2±3.3 and 9.8±3.8 ng/g, respectively) than in Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins, both of which showed values in the same order of magnitude, but approximately 40% lower than Adélie penguins. Hexa-CBs ranged 35–45% of the residue. Low-chlorinated PCBs (nos. 70+76+95+56+60+101) accounted for 40–60% in the three species. PCB101 made up 15% of the residue in Adélie penguins. PBDEs were 291±477, 107±104 and 116±108 pg/g in Adélie, Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins, respectively; the most abundant congeners were BDE47 in Adélie and Chinstrap penguins and BDE17 in Gentoo penguins. PCDDs were 22±32, 6.5±7.4 and 18±23 pg/g in Adélie, Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins, respectively. PCDFs were higher in Adélie penguins and lower in Chinstrap penguins. PCDDs/Fs and PBDEs were higher in males than in females of Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins; differences in concentrations were likely related to the partial detoxification that occurs in females during egg formation. Of the four non-ortho PCBs measured, PCB126 occurred at the highest concentrations and contributed the majority of the non-ortho PCB-TEQ in Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins. The highest TEQs were found in the Gentoo penguin and due mainly to PCDDs and non-ortho PCBs. Conclusions POP concentrations in penguins were lower than those found in seabird species from other areas of the world. Different chemical accumulation patterns were observed in relation to species and sex; the Adélie penguin showed the highest POP levels. Dissimilar ecological or metabolic features may be involved; the diverse timing of reproduction steps can be responsible for those differences; moreover, Adélie penguins feed on krill (a fatty resource) more abundantly than the other two species during the rearing period. Recommendation and Outlook The South Shetland Islands might be subjected to a higher chemical impact with respect to the rest of Antarctica, due to their being near South America. Because penguins are fish-eating birds showing low detoxifying capacities and key-species in Antarctic ecosystems, further studies on their xenobiotic metabolism should be carried out.

Serum concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the inhabitants of a Sicilian city

Background

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides are common environmental contaminants that have been associated with human health problems.

Objectives

To assess serum concentrations of several organochlorine contaminants in general population living in a city with an ancient agricultural tradition and to identify possible exposure sources in Sicily.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 101 individuals. Each participant answered a face-to-face questionnaire submitted by well-trained personnel and provided a serum sample which was analyzed for the concentrations of PCBs, HCB, HCHs and DDTs by using gas-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.

Results

HCB, p,p′-DDE, PCB 138, PCB 153 and PCB 180 were detected in more than 80% of the study participants. The ng g⁻¹ lipid median concentrations were: 18.6 for HCB; 175.1 for p,p′-DDE; 22. for PCB 138; 32.5 for PCB 153 and 23.0 for PCB 180. PCB 153 and PCB 138, PCB 138 and PCB 180, PCB 153 and PCB 180, and p,p′-DDE and HCB showed a high correlation each other (p < 0.05). HCB and p,p′-DDE concentrations were significantly higher in subjects >49 years old (adj-p = 0.03 in 50-69 years old and adj-p < 0.001 in >69 years old, respectively) whereas PCB 138, PCB 153 and PCB 180 concentrations were higher in males (adj-p = 0.03), in subjects >69 years old (adj-p = 0.04) and in current smokers (adj-p = 0.04).

Conclusions

The present study shows that serum concentrations of organochlorine compounds detected in subjects living in a small Sicilian city with ancient agricultural tradition are similar to those found in subjects living in urban areas of other countries. However, further investigations are needed to compare data from rural/urban areas in the same country, assessing correlations between serum concentrations of several chemical compounds and potential health effects in general population.     

民用燃煤烟气中甲基多环芳烃的排放特征

利用全流稀释烟气采样系统,对20个煤/炉组合方式(涉及4种烟煤和1种无烟煤、块煤和蜂窝煤2种燃烧方式、3种北方地区常用的炉灶类型)的燃烧烟气进行了采样和分析,获取了多环芳烃的排放因子数据.针对具有更强“三致”作用的甲基多环芳烃(A-PAHs)的排放特征进行讨论,并与原煤的有机溶剂抽提物进行对比.结果表明,不同煤种和燃烧方式的8种A-PAHs排放因子(EFA-PAHs)差别显著,其中,烟煤在块煤与蜂窝煤两种燃烧方式下的变化范围分别为0.5~1.6mg/kg和63.9~100.1mg/kg,无烟煤以块煤与蜂窝煤燃烧的EFA-PAHs分别为0.1mg/kg和67.3mg/kg;蜂窝煤的平均EFA-PAHs比块煤高约2个数量级,说明作为洁净煤技术被推广使用的蜂窝煤燃烧方式存在“不洁净”的方面,应引起重视.对比原煤抽提物中A-PAHs的变化特征,可知燃煤烟气中的A-PAHs部分来自于煤的受热挥发,具有原煤的一些特征,但是更多的A-PAHs来自于燃烧过程中的高温裂解反应.     

Bioaccumulation of hexachlorobenzene in Eisenia foetida at dierent aging stages

The impacts of contact time on the extractability, the availability of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in dierent soils (paddy soil, red soil, and uvo-aquic soil) and bioaccumulation in earthworm Eisenia foetida were investigated under controlled conditions in laboratory. Results indicated that the aging rate of HCB displaying a biphasic character in dierent soils: a rapid aging in the first 60 d followed by a slow aging in the next 120 d incubation time. Moreover, most of extractable HCB (about 90%) decline occurr...     

Bioaccumulation of hexachlorobenzene in Eisenia foetida at different aging stages

The impacts of contact time on the extractability, the availability of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in different soils (paddy soil, red soil, and fluvo-aquic soil) and bioaccurnulation in earthworm Eisenia foetida were investigated under controlled conditions in laboratory. Results indicated that the aging rate of HCB displaying a biphasic character in different soils: a rapid aging in the first 60 d followed by a slow aging in the next 120 d incubation time. Moreover, most of extractable HCB (about 90%) decline occurred in the first 60 d after HCB was spiked into the soils. The aging rate of HCB in the paddy soil was higher than that in the fluvo-aquic soil or the red soil. The amount of HCB accumulated in the earthworms and its accumulative ability, expressed as a bioaccumulation factor (BAF), declined as the aging time increased from 1 to 180 d. Although the extractable HCB decreased with increasing residence time in soil, much of HCB could still be accumulated by earthworms (457.6-984.3 ng/g) through bioaccumulation, which poses a potential risk to soil ecological safety.     

小分子有机碳对土壤中六氯苯厌氧降解及挥发的影响

采用密封培养瓶装置,研究了红壤性水稻土和乌栅土在添加乙酸、葡萄糖、柠檬酸时六氯苯(HCB)的厌氧降解行为,同时分析了土壤pH变化、碳源转化过程中甲烷和二氧化碳的释放及六氯苯的挥发.结果表明,8周内红壤性水稻土中HCB减少了约20%～44%,加入乙酸抑制HCB的降解,表明低pH条件不利于脱氯反应,加入葡萄糖和柠檬酸在前期抑制后期则促进HCB的降解;乌栅土中HCB减少了约21%～23%,加入小分子有机质对其降解没有明显的效果;六氯苯降解的主要产物为五氯苯(PCB),最终检测到红壤性水稻土中PCB为23～96 μg/kg,乌栅土中为64～92 μg/kg; HCB的降解与CH4和CO2的释放量在统计学上没有显著的相关性;2种土壤中,外加小分子有机碳均减少了HCB的挥发作用,且红壤性水稻土中HCB的挥发比乌栅土中更强,表明土壤有机质是影响HCB挥发的重要因子.
