为了揭示武汉典型饮用水水源中典型持久性有机污染物(POPs)的污染特征与风险水平,采用固相萃取-气相色谱-质谱定性定量分析法,对武汉长江及其支流上18个典型集中式饮用水水源地,共26个采样点水体中多环芳烃(PAHs)、有机氯农药(OCPs)和多氯联苯(PCBs)浓度进行了检测,分析了 POPs的污染水平,并开展健康风险评估.结果表明,26个采样点均有PAHs检出,除苯并[k]荧蒽检出率为88.46％外,其他15种单体检出率均为100.00％,多环芳烃累积ρ(∑PAHs)检出范围为57.04～475.79 ng·L-1,平均值为173.86 ng·L-1.PAHs污染程度总体较低,PAHs主要以中低环芳烃为主,来源于以石油源为主的混合源.共有8种OCPs被检出,(∑OCPs)范围为ND-4.57 ng.L-1,平均值为0.78 ng·L-1,OCPs浓度水平相对较低.共有24种PCBs被检出,ρ(∑PCBs)范围为ND-77.49 ng·L-1,平均值为9.88 ng·L-1,PCBs主要以不易降解的高氯联苯为主,部分点位PCBs浓度超过我国地表水环境质量标准限值,HeptaCBs-180物质需要引起持续关注.健康风险评估结果显示,研究区域内PAHs和PCBs的致癌风险指数均处于10-6～10-4,对人体可能产生潜在的致癌风险;OCPs和PCBs的非致癌风险指数均小于1,不会对人体产生非致癌风险.     

剑湖沉积物中有机氯农药的分布特征与风险评估

以典型断陷式高原湖泊剑湖为采样点,采集剑湖表层沉积物样品31个,入湖河流表层沉积物样品23个和潜在污染源地表土样品24个,分析OCPs(有机氯农药)的空间分布特征、污染源及迁移途径,评估其生态风险.研究表明:①剑湖表层沉积物中检测出5种OCPs,含量为异狄氏剂酮异狄氏剂醛狄氏剂七氯δ-HCH,总OCPs含量为0～1.92×10~3 ng·g~(-1)(干重),均值为(340±400) ng·g~(-1).②七氯、异狄氏剂醛和异狄氏剂酮的检出率高,含量最高值分别为17.9、50.6和1.85×10~3 ng·g~(-1).三者分布均呈现西南湖湾区北部湖湾区湖心区的特征,其中七氯和异狄氏剂醛的分布具有显著相关性(R~2=0.760).③工厂类潜在污染源的污染贡献大于农田和居民区.七氯的主要潜在污染源为金龙河支流中上游的煤矿开采区(624 ng·g~(-1));异狄氏剂醛为狮河下游的木雕加工区(4.32×10~3 ng·g~(-1));异狄氏剂酮为流域南部的采石场(3.07×10~3 ng·g~(-1)).3种OCPs的主要迁移途径为入湖河流输入,大气沉降可能为其另一迁移途径.④采用U.S.EPA(美国环保署)临时沉积物基准和NOAA(美国国家海洋和大气管理局)沉积物质量基准分别对上述3种OCPs进行风险评估,结果表明生态风险异狄氏剂酮七氯异狄氏剂醛,异狄氏剂酮可能会对剑湖的生态环境造成严重危害.     

近36a来四川盆地持续霾事件特征及环流分析

利用1981~2016年四川盆地102个气象观测站逐日霾日观测资料,对四川盆地持续霾事件（定义为连续3d及以上有烟幕或霾发生的天气）的时空分布特征、变化趋势进行分析,然后对冬季霾事件环流场特征进行研究.结果表明：1981~2016年四川盆地持续霾事件的年平均日数呈增加趋势,持续霾事件日数占霾总日数的百分比与霾总日数增加趋势较为一致,霾总日数的增加主要是由持续霾事件的增加引起的.四川盆地持续霾事件的空间分布不均匀,与霾日数的大值区的分布较为一致,主要集中在川东北城市群、成都平原城市群以及川南城市群.持续霾事件多发区的范围在1981~2010年呈年代际增大,在2011~2016年范围减少显著.通过分析盆地冬季霾事件的环流场发现,霾事件偏多（少）年时段,四川盆地处于暖（冷）高（低）压大值区域,乌拉尔山阻塞高压偏弱（强）,东亚大槽偏弱（强）,盆地上空为一定程度的辐合（辐散）,存在（不存在）明显逆温结构,垂直上升运动弱（强）,这些条件均有利于污染物颗粒聚集在浅薄的边界层内（利于污染物的扩散）,造成霾天气的维持（消散）.     

Easy and fast extraction methods to determine organochlorine pesticides in sewage sludge,soil, and water samples based at low temperature

Organochlorine pesticides present in sewage sludge can contaminate soil and water when they are used as either fertilizer or agricultural soil conditioner. In this study, the technique solid–liquid extraction with low temperature purification was optimized and validated for determination of ten organochlorine pesticides in sewage sludge and soil samples. Liquid–liquid extraction with low temperature purification was also validated for the same compounds in water. Analyses were performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry operating in the selective ion monitoring mode. After optimization, the methods showed recoveries between 70% and 115% with relative standard deviation lower than 13% for all target analytes in the three matrices. The linearity was demonstrated in the range of 20 to 70 µg L^?1, 0.5 to 60 µg L^?1, and 3 to 13 µg L^?1, for sludge, soil, and acetonitrile, respectively. The limit of quantification ranged between 2 and 40 µg kg^?1, 1 and 6 µg kg^?1, and 0.5 µg L^?1 for sludge, soil, and water, respectively. The methods were used in the study of pesticide lixiviation carried out in a poly vinyl chlorine column filled with soil, which had its surface layer mixed with sludge. The results showed that pesticides are not leached into soil, part of them is adsorbed by the sewage sludge (4–40%), and most pesticides are lost by volatilization.     

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.     

天津-长岛区域有机氯污染物的相对化学组成与大气传输

为了研究持久性有机污染物(POPs)的区域分布、大气传输与来源,采用被动采样技术于2006年7月—2008年6月在山东长岛与天津同步采集大气样品.色谱/高分辨质谱(GC/HRMS)分析数据表明,有机氯污染物化学组成季节变化明显.天津-长岛区域的大气样品主要按照季节聚类,表现出有机氯污染的区域性特征.天津和长岛相距约400 km,两地化学组成的相似性归因于有效的大气扩散和长距离传输.同时,天津点位的源区特征,长岛渔港和船厂含DDTs船舶防污漆的使用作为一种重要的DDTs排放,在化学组成和聚类结果中,均得到了客观的反映.有机氯污染物相对化学组成可以作为一种“指纹”和“探针”技术,研究大气污染物的传输和区域分布.      

大气中持久性有机污染物的采样技术进展

大气是全球持久性有机污染物(persistent organic polutants,POPs)监测的重要环境介质,大气中POPs的采样技术是准确表征大气中POPs赋存水平的关键所在。近年来大气中POPs的采样技术发展很快。本文介绍了大气中POPs的两类采样方法:主动采样法(active air sampling,AAS)和被动采样法(passive air sampling,PAS),总结了新型吸附材料和新型采样器研发的成果,讨论了不同类型的采样方法的特点,对比分析了不同采样方法获得的POPs监测数据,并提出今后应用不同POPs大气采样技术在监测数据可对比性研究方面值得关注的问题。     

Lifestyle and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in human milk in the United States: A pilot study

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) are a class of brominated flame retardants with some congeners having the ability to accumulate in body lipids. The incorporation of PBDE in consumer products found primarily in the indoor environment suggests that routes of exposure include inhalation of indoor air and contact with indoor dust. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that lifestyle factors, and in particular the proximity and use of products likely to contain PBDE in the indoor environment, are primarily responsible for levels of PBDE found in human milk. Human milk samples were taken from two populations of lactating women in the same geographic region of the United States: one “typical” of US suburban lifestyle, and the other practicing a traditional Amish lifestyle, which excludes many modern amenities containing PBDE, such as computers and televisions. For a subset of the cohort, persistent organic pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) were also measured in human milk samples. Despite the small number of participants, there is evidence suggestive of Amish women having lower PBDE concentrations in their milk. In addition, the nonsignificant differences in levels of PCBs and pesticides between the two groups of women as compared to the significant differences in levels of PBDE suggest an important route of exposure for PBDE other than diet. Information prepared for study participants is provided to initiate a dialogue on how to best communicate biomonitoring findings to study participants and to the public in general.
