某工业城市大气颗粒物中PAHs的粒径分布及人体呼吸系统暴露评估

为研究大气颗粒物中多环芳烃(PAHs)的粒径分布与富集特征,确定不同粒径颗粒物中PAHs在人体呼吸系统各器官内的沉积浓度,以准确评估其人体呼吸暴露风险,选择东北某钢铁工业城市,在采暖期和非采暖期按粒径对大气颗粒物进行分级采样,用高效液相色谱对样品中14种优控PAHs进行分析,并将大气颗粒物粒径分级采样技术与人体呼吸系统内部沉积模型结合进行呼吸暴露评估.结果表明,大气颗粒物中总PAHs浓度变化显著,采暖期(743. 9 ng·m~(-3))高于非采暖期(169. 0ng·m~(-3)),多数PAHs(86. 3%～89. 9%)与大气中粒径≤2. 06μm的细颗粒有关;中低分子量PAHs单体呈双峰型,峰值位于1. 07～2. 06μm和7. 04～9. 99μm.高分子量PAHs呈单峰分布,峰值位于1. 07～2. 06μm; 4环PAHs的含量占主导优势,为总PAHs浓度的40%;在采暖期和非采暖期分别有53. 3%和55. 3%的颗粒态PAHs沉积在人体呼吸系统的不同器官,分别采用人体呼吸系统沉积浓度和在颗粒物上的总浓度计算该地区人群颗粒态PAHs的终身致癌超额风险值(incremental lifetime cancer risk,R值),成人的R值在采暖期为1. 3×10-5和2. 9×10-5,非采暖期为3. 1×10-6和6. 0×10-6,儿童的R值在采暖期为1. 0×10-5和2. 3×10-5,非采暖期为2. 4×10-6和4. 8×10-6.结果表明,颗粒物粒径分布直接影响呼吸系统沉积浓度和致癌风险,将分级采样技术与呼吸系统沉降模型结合方法可有效避免对人体呼吸暴露量的过度评估.

Is The Ca + K + Mg/Al Ratio in the Soil Solution a Predictive Tool for Estimating Forest Damage?

The ratio between (Ca +K +Mg) and Al in nutrientsolution has been suggested as a predictive tool forestimating tree growth disturbance. However, the ratiois unspecific in the sense that it is based on severalelements which are all essential for plant growth;each of these may be growth-limiting. Furthermore,aluminium retards growth at higher concentrations. Itis therefore difficult to give causal and objectivebiological explanations for possible growthdisturbances. The importance of the proportion ofbase-cations to N, at a fixed base-cation/Al ratio, isevaluated with regard to growth of Picea abies.The uptake of elements was found to be selective;nutrients were taken up while most Al remained insolution. Biomass partitioning to the roots increasedafter aluminium addition with low proportions of basecations to nitrogen. We conclude that the low growthrates depend on nutrient limitation in thesetreatments. Low growth rates in the high proportionexperiments may be explained by high internal Alconcentrations. The results strongly suggest thatgrowth rate is not correlated with the ratio in therooting medium and question the validity of usingratios as predictive tools for estimating forestdamage. We suggest that growth limitation of Picea abies in the field may depend on lowproportions of base cations to nitrate. It istherefore important to know the nutritional status ofthe plant material in relation to the growth potentialand environmental limitation to be able to predict andestimate forest damage.     

NUTRIENT CONCENTRATIONS AND YIELDS IN UNDEVELOPED STREAM BASINS OF THE UNITED STATES1

ABSTRACT: Data from 85 sites across the United States were used to estimate concentrations and yields of selected nutrients in streams draining relatively undeveloped basins. Flow‐weighted concentrations during 1990–1995 were generally low with median basin concentrations of 0.020, 0.087, 0.26, 0.010, and 0.022 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for ammonia as N, nitrate as N, total nitrogen, orthophosphate as P, and total phosphorus, respectively. The flow‐weighted concentration of nitrate exceeded 0.6 mg/L in only three basins. Total nitrogen exceeded 1 mg/L in only four basins, and total phosphorus exceeded 0.1 mg/L in only four basins. The median annual basin yield of ammonia as N, nitrate as N, total nitrogen, orthophosphate as P, and total phosphorus was 8.1, 26, 86, 2.8, and 8.5 kilograms per square kilometer, respectively. Concentrations and yields of nitrate tended to be highest in northeastern and mid‐Atlantic coastal states and correlated well with areas of high atmospheric nitrogen deposition. Concentrations and yields of total nitrogen were highest in the southeastern part of the nation and in parts of the upper Midwest. In the northeast, nitrate was generally the predominant form of nitrogen, and in the southeast and parts of the upper Midwest, organic nitrogen was the dominant form. Concentrations of total phosphorus were generally highest in the Rocky Mountain and Central Plain states.     

Influences and mechanisms of nanofullerene on the horizontal transfer of plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance genes between E. coli strains

• Sub-inhibitory levels of nC₆₀ promote conjugative transfer of ARGs. • nC₆₀ can induce ROS generation, oxidative stress and SOS response. • nC₆₀ can increase cell membrane permeability and alter gene expression. • Results provide evidence of nC₆₀ promoting antibiotic resistance dissemination. The spread and development of antibiotic resistance globally have led to severe public health problems. It has been shown that some non-antibiotic substances can also promote the diffusion and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Nanofullerene (nC₆₀) is a type of nanomaterial widely used around the world, and some studies have discovered both the biological toxicity and environmental toxicity of nC₆₀. In this study, cellular and molecular biology techniques were employed to investigate the influences of nC₆₀ at sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) on the conjugation of ARGs between the E. coli strains. Compared with the control group, nC₆₀ significantly increased the conjugation rates of ARGs by 1.32‒10.82 folds within the concentration range of 7.03‒1800 mg/L. This study further explored the mechanism of this phenomenon, finding that sub-MICs of nC₆₀ could induce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), trigger SOS-response and oxidative stress, affect the expression of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) genes, increase membrane permeability, and thus promote the occurrence of conjugation. This research enriches our understanding of the environmental toxicity of nC₆₀, raises our risk awareness toward nC₆₀, and may promote the more rational employment of nC₆₀ materials.

不同氮浓度下三角褐指藻生长特性和化学组成

三角褐指藻是一类海洋单细胞硅藻,富含多不饱和脂肪酸,可以作为鱼、虾、贝等理想的饵料。而近年该藻曾多次在我国沿海海域发生暴发性增殖,给当地生态环境带来了一定的影响。为了探讨不同氮浓度对三角褐指藻生长特性和化学组成的影响,设置了低氮(44 μ mol.L-1)、中氮(880 μmol.L-1)和高氮(4 400 μmol.L-1)浓度三种处理,着重测定三角褐指藻的细胞密度、比生长率、生物量、可溶性糖、蛋白质含量和叶绿素含量等指标。结果表明,高氮浓度明显地促进了藻细胞的生长繁殖。高氮浓度下的藻细胞密度、比生长率和生物量分别比低氮浓度下的提高了 5.38 倍、0.81 倍和 2.86 倍。藻生长前期,高氮浓度和中氮浓度下的生长曲线相似,呈现一个"S"型的曲线。另外,高氮浓度下的藻细胞可溶性糖、蛋白质和叶绿素a含量分别是低氮浓度下的 2.5 倍、1.5 倍和 15 倍,说明高氮浓度促进了藻细胞化学组成的转化和积累。结果揭示,氮浓度可能是导致三角褐指藻近年在我国沿海海域发生暴发性增殖的重要因素。     

NaCl胁迫对高粱成熟叶质外体和共质体中Na~ 、Ca~(2 )浓度的影响

在c（NaCl）＝200mmol／L，t＝14d胁迫条件下，盐敏感品种糖高粱（T）成熟叶生长抑制、含水量的下降和质膜透性均明显大于耐盐品种独角虎（D）；盐胁迫下，质外体和共质体中Na＋浓度明显增加，增加的幅度是质外体大于共质体，T大于D．相反，盐胁迫下质外体和共质体Ca2＋浓度均明显下降，研究结果表明：质外体Na＋浓度剧增并没有改变细胞膨压，而可能通过取代质膜上Ca2＋而破坏质膜选择透性，从而引发盐害
