生物样品中含PBDEs在内的复合污染组分的抗雌激素效应

为初步探讨电子废物拆解导致的多溴二苯醚(PBDEs)及其类似物构成的复合污染的潜在生态/健康风险,从电子废物拆解区的三黄鸡血液和肝脏样品中提取了包含PBDEs在内的复合污染组分,分别体外暴露乳腺癌MCF-7细胞和MDA-MB-231细胞6d,检测细胞增殖和雌激素靶基因pS2的mRNA表达.结果表明,包含多种PBDEs在内的复合污染组分在不产生细胞毒性的前提下,可显著抑制MCF-7细胞增殖和雌激素靶基因pS2的mRNA表达,表现出抗雌激素活性.此结果提示由电子废物拆解造成的复合污染对生物体和人体可能存在潜在的生态/健康风险.     

湛江红树林湿地沉积物中多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)的污染特征与生态风险评价

近年来,红树林有机污染物(POPs)污染逐渐加重,其生态环境保护压力日趋加大。湛江红树林保护区是中国面积最大的红树林自然保护区,对生态系统稳定具有重要作用,准确评估湛江红树林湿地多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)的污染现状及潜在生态风险,对了解湛江红树林有机污染物的污染状况、红树林的生态环境保护等具有重要意义。采用索氏抽提法和气相色谱-质谱法测定了湛江红树林湿地12个采样位点沉积物中的PBDEs质量分数,分析了多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)的污染水平、空间分布特征及其潜在风险。结果表明,湛江红树林表层沉积物中共检测到14种PBDEs,BDE-209质量分数占比最高,为53.58%—77.66%。12个采样点的∑PBDEs质量分数均值为23.30 ng·g^?1。按地理位置划分为6个研究区域,各研究区域的∑PBDEs质量分数均值变化为:湛江市区(33.06 ng·g^?1)>廉江西(29.68 ng·g^?1)>徐闻(19.29 ng·g^?1)>雷州东(16.47 ng·g^?1)>遂溪(15.72 ng·g^?1)>雷州西(11.92 ng·g^?1);BDE-209、∑13PBDEs(除BDE-209外)质量分数的分布规律与∑PBDEs质量分数的变化趋势一致。与国内外其他红树林湿地沉积物相比,湛江红树林沉积物中∑PBDEs质量分数处于中等水平。湛江红树林沉积物中的PBDEs污染主要源自商业五溴、八溴及十溴联苯醚产品的使用,高溴联苯醚的降解也是其来源之一。环境中的降雨量、TOC、pH值等对沉积物中PBDEs的影响不大。风险熵数法的生态风险评价结果表明,湛江红树林沉积物中PBDEs的综合生态风险水平较高,尤其是penta-BDEs和deca-BDEs处于高风险水平,应引起关注。     

多溴联苯醚及其衍生物在土壤中的分布、转化和生物效应研究进展

多溴联苯醚（polybrominated diphenyl ethers,PBDEs）作为一种良好的溴系阻燃剂被大量地添加到工业产品中,随着产品的使用、回收和废弃处理会进入各种环境介质中,是一类分布十分广泛的持久性有机污染物.PBDEs的衍生物羟基化多溴联苯醚（hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers,OH-PBDEs）和甲氧基化多溴联苯醚（methoxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers,MeO-PBDEs）,由于具有比母体化合物更大的毒性效应和更复杂的环境行为也受到人们广泛关注.通过对PBDEs及其衍生物在土壤中的分布特征、转化规律及生物效应研究的最新进展进行综述发现,PBDEs在土壤中的分布浓度随离工业区距离增加而减小,且大多数污染地区土壤中以高溴代PBDEs为主,偏远地区土壤中则以低溴代PBDEs为主.进入土壤的PBDEs在动物、植物体内及微生物作用下均可发生脱溴代谢转化产生低溴代PBDEs,也可发生羟基化生成OH-PBDEs和甲氧基化生成MeO-PBDEs,与此同时,OH-PBDEs和MeO-PBDEs之间也会发生相互转化.PBDEs及其衍生物作为一种环境内分泌的干扰物对大部分的植物、动物都有显著的毒性效应,对植物而言能够抑制植物种子萌发、幼苗生长、损伤细胞结构以及影响植物代谢活动等;对动物而言能够影响动物的内分泌功能、妨碍动物生殖系统的发育以及对神经系统产生毒性等.目前,关于PBDEs及其衍生物在土壤生态系统中环境化学行为和生态毒性的报道十分有限,探讨土壤中PBDEs的代谢转化过程和毒性效应可为全面深刻地认识PBDEs的环境行为和潜在生态风险提供科学参考.      

行政办公室内PBDEs污染特征及人体暴露量

为研究普通行政办公场所内多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)的污染现状、同类物分布特征及办公人群吸入暴露量,于2013年3月~8月期间在杭州市行政办公场所采集20个空气样品,用GC-ECD分析样品中14种PBDEs同类物.结果发现:杭州市办公场所空气中PBDEs总平均浓度达9.57×102pg/m3,与欧洲国家相比处于较高污染水平,其中BDE-209是主要污染成分,占总含量的57.4%,说明杭州市办公场所PBDEs的主要工业品来源是十溴联苯醚.与家庭住宅空气样品对照发现,办公场所PBDEs平均浓度是家庭住宅的1.26倍,并且这一浓度差异主要体现在BDE-209单体上.办公场所各采样点同类物气固相对百分含量在50.0%左右,说明空气中PBDEs一半以气态形式存在,一半则吸附在空气颗粒物中,这可能是PBDEs气固分配还未平衡所致.此外,杭州市普通行政办公人群BDE-99的总摄入量为2.03′102pg/(kg×d),比国际标准BDE-99每日允许摄入量低21.7%.     

多溴联苯醚在典型电子垃圾污染区域水生食物链上的生物富集特征

为调查电子垃圾回收活动对当地水生生物造成的多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)污染,测定了广东某电子垃圾回收地附近水库中水生生物样品(水蛇、鱼类、草虾和田螺)和对照区样品(鲮鱼)中18种PBDEs含量,通过对样品氮同位素的测定,探讨了PBDEs在该地淡水食物链上的生物富集特征.研究结果显示,∑PBDEs(总PBDEs含量)在水蛇、鱼类、草虾和田螺中分别为39.6～186、1.82～75.7、4.60～17.1和7.26～17.0μg·g-1(脂重),比华南地区鱼体中∑PBDEs的平均含量高3个数量级,表明电子垃圾回收活动已对当地水生生物造成了PBDEs的严重污染.除BDE66、BDE99、BDE153、BDE183和BDE209外,其他13种PBDE单体在食物链上均存在着生物放大效应,但生物放大能力(B值)与正辛醇-水分配系数logKOW相关性不明显,可能是由于某些PBDE单体在生物体内存在代谢作用.以上结果表明,由电子垃圾回收活动导致的PBDEs污染存在较大的生态风险,应该引起高度关注.

将３’－端烯丙基苯并１５－冠－５和４’－端烯丙基苯并１５－冠－５接枝到壳糖或交联壳聚糖上,合成了４种新新型的壳聚糖冠醚,并研究了这４种壳聚糖冠醚对Ｐｄ＾２＋、Ｃｕ＾２＋、Ｈｇ＾２＋的静态吸附性能。结果表明,这４种吸附剂对Ｐｄ＾２＋具有良好的吸附性能,并能在Ｃｕ＾２＋和Ｈｇ＾２＋共存的条件下选择吸附Ｐｄ＾２＋。     

室内环境中持久性卤代有机污染物的人体暴露及潜在生殖健康影响

卤代持久性有机污染物(Hal-POPs),如多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)、多氯联苯(PCBs)、滴滴涕(DDT)等是环境中广泛存在的全球性有机污染物,同时它们又是内分泌干扰物,是威胁人类生殖健康的重要因素之一。由于人们每天约有80%以上的时间在室内度过,且室内环境是Hal-POPs人体暴露的主要来源之一,因此室内环境中Hal-POPs对人体内分泌系统的干扰作用及其机理等问题亟待研究,但目前这方面的研究很有限。本文通过综述Hal-POPs在室内环境中的赋存水平和在人体体内的负荷水平及其半衰期,探讨了其对人体内分泌系统尤其是男性生殖健康的影响情况及其可能的机理,并分析了目前研究的不足之处及研究前景,为进一步开展这方面的研究提供借鉴。     

Distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in breast milk from North China: Implication of exposure pathways

The breast milk concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs; sum of eight congeners: BDE-28, 47, 99, 100, 153, 154, 183 and 209) were determined (by high resolution gas chromatographic high resolution mass spectrometry) in samples from primiparous women collected in 2006 in Tianjin, China. Dietary and lifestyle habits of the participants were obtained by questionnaires. The median total PBDE concentration (including BDE-28, 47, 99, 100, 153, 154, 183) was 2500 pg g⁻¹ lipid weight, ranging from 1700 to 4500 pg g⁻¹ lipid weight. These levels were in the same range as those from Europe and Japan but much lower than those from North America. The congener profile in China was also different from other countries. The contribution of BDE-28 was around 15%, much higher than any other country, implying that a different Penta-BDE formulation might be used in the Chinese market. The lower ratio of the sum of BDE-47, 99, and 100 to the sum of BDE-153 and 154 suggested that Octa-products were in more demand in China. A significant correlation was found between a woman’s PBDE concentration and the time she used electronic appliances (h/d). This implies that electronics are a potential source of PBDEs to people. Inhalation or ingestion of particulate matter (such as dust) may also be an important exposure pathway. There was no significant correlation between the PBDE concentration and the consumption of meat, fish, and milk. Further research is needed to determine the specific contribution of each exposure route and their health effects.     

Fate of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the environment of the Pearl River Estuary, South China

Ninety-six riverine runoff samples collected at eight major outlets in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), South China, during 2005-2006 were analyzed for 17 brominated diphenyl ether (BDE) congeners (defined as Σ₁₇PBDE). Fourteen and 15 congeners were detected, respectively, in the dissolved and particulate phases. These data were further used to elucidate the partitioning behavior of BDE congeners in riverine runoff. Several related fate processes, i.e. air-water exchange, dry and wet deposition, degradation, and sedimentation, within the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), were examined to estimate the inputs of Σ₁₀PBDE (sum of the target BDE congeners, BDE-28, -47, -66, -85, -99, -100, -138, -153, -154, and -183) and BDE-209 from the PRD to the coastal ocean based on mass balance considerations. The results showed that annual outflows of Σ₁₀PBDE and BDE-209 were estimated at 126 and 940 kg/year, respectively from the PRE to coastal ocean. Besides sedimentation and degradation, the majority of Σ₁₀PBDE and BDE-209 discharged into the PRE via riverine runoff was transported to the coastal ocean.     

Levels of PCDD/Fs,PCBs and PBDEs in breast milk of women living in the vicinity of a hazardous waste incinerator: Assessment of the temporal trend

The concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were determined in breast milk from women living in the vicinity of a hazardous waste incinerator (HWI) in Catalonia, Spain. The results were compared with the levels obtained in previous surveys carried out in the same area in 1998 (baseline study), 2002 and 2007. The current total concentrations of 2,3,7,8-chlorinated PCDD/Fs in breast milk ranged from 18 to 126 pg g⁻¹ fat (1.1–12.3 pg WHO₂₀₀₅-TEQ_PCDD/F), while the total levels of PCBs ranged from 27 to 405 pg g⁻¹ fat (0.7–5.3 pg WHO₂₀₀₅-TEQ_PCB). In turn, PBDE concentrations (sum of 15 congeners) ranged 0.3–5.1 g g⁻¹ fat, with a mean value of 1.3 ng g⁻¹ fat. A general decrease in the concentrations for PCDD/Fs, both planar and total PCBs, and PBDEs in breast milk was observed. The levels of PCDD/Fs, PCBs, and PBDEs in milk of women living in urban zones were higher than those corresponding to industrial zones (41%, 26%, and 8%, respectively). For PCDD/Fs and PCBs, the current decreases are in accordance with the reduction in the dietary intake of these pollutants that we have also observed in recent studies carried out in the same area of study.
