Bacteria inactivation by sulfate radical: progress and non-negligible disinfection by-products

● Status of inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms by SO₄^•− is reviewed. ● Mechanism of SO₄^•− disinfection is outlined. ● Possible generation of DBPs during disinfection using SO₄^•− is discussed. ● Possible problems and challenges of using SO₄^•− for disinfection are presented. Sulfate radicals have been increasingly used for the pathogen inactivation due to their strong redox ability and high selectivity for electron-rich species in the last decade. The application of sulfate radicals in water disinfection has become a very promising technology. However, there is currently a lack of reviews of sulfate radicals inactivated pathogenic microorganisms. At the same time, less attention has been paid to disinfection by-products produced by the use of sulfate radicals to inactivate microorganisms. This paper begins with a brief overview of sulfate radicals’ properties. Then, the progress in water disinfection by sulfate radicals is summarized. The mechanism and inactivation kinetics of inactivating microorganisms are briefly described. After that, the disinfection by-products produced by reactions of sulfate radicals with chlorine, bromine, iodide ions and organic halogens in water are also discussed. In response to these possible challenges, this article concludes with some specific solutions and future research directions.

滇池人工湿地的植物群落学特征研究

用植物群落生态学方法,研究了滇池小河口的天然湿地以及表流和潜流两种人工湿地的植被群落学特征。研究区内调查发现有12种植物群落,包含有植物17种。结果表明：表流人工湿地的群落多样性大于潜流人工湿地,甚至也大于天然湿地;在两种人工湿地中,植物群落中的层次数比较接近;从植被群落结构来看,在物种多样性和shannon wiener指数方面表现为潜流人工湿地大于表流人工湿地,天然湿地居中。从天然湿地到表流湿地,再到潜流湿地,随着湿地环境水文条件的变化,植物群落组成与分布状况也在变化,表现出从湿地植物向陆生植物演替的趋势。研究表明两种人工湿地中的芦苇（Phragmites australis）群落长势不同。在人工湿地中适宜构建芦苇群落,在表面流人工湿地植物选择中可以考虑水芹菜（Oenanthe stolonifera）和慈菇（Sagittaria sagittifolia）。人工湿地的水文条件与湿地植物之间的相互关系是人工湿地进一步研究的重要方面。     

聚苯乙烯微塑料对污水中胞外耐药基因的影响及其机制

微塑料（MPs）和抗生素耐药基因（ARGs）是共存于污水处理厂中的典型新污染物.MPs已被证明能够改变污泥中ARGs的分布模式,但其对污水中胞外ARGs（feARGs）的影响及机制仍不清楚.采用荧光定量PCR技术探究了典型MPs（聚苯乙烯PS）暴露60 d后污水中feARGs（包括tetC、tetO、sul1和sul2）的动态变化特征及机制.结果表明,四环素类feARGs绝对丰度在nm级和mm级PS暴露下分别降低了28.4 %~76.0 %和35.2 %~96.2 %,在μm级PS暴露下变化了-55.4 %~122.4 %.PS对磺胺类sul1的促进效果呈nm级 > μm级 > mm级趋势,且ρ（PS）为50 mg·L^-1 对sul1丰度扰动幅度更大.磺胺类sul2的相对丰度在μm级和mm级PS暴露后分别削减了25.4 %~42.6 %和46.1 %~90.3 %,在nm级PS暴露后增加了1.9~3.9倍;ρ（PS）为50 mg·L^-1对sul2的削减作用高于ρ（PS）为0.5 mg·L^-1.Pearson相关性分析显示,PS暴露下feARGs相对丰度与细胞膜通透性和典型可移动遗传元件（intI1）丰度成正相关,与活性氧水平成负相关.研究结果阐明了PS对污水中feARGs的影响及其机制,可为污水中MPs与ARGs复合污染的防治提供科学依据.     

环境汞污染粮食暴露对大鼠脑自由基的诱导及共存硒的影响

采用电子顺磁自旋共振（ESR）技术,研究实地环境汞污染粮食暴露不同时间后在大鼠脑中引发的自由基及脂质过氧化损伤情况,探讨实地环境汞污染氧化损伤的微观致毒机理。并对粮食中共存的硒元素作用进行分析。结果表明,环境汞污染粮食暴露7d后,大鼠脑中自由基相对强度及脂质过氧化产物MDA含量均出现显著升高（p<0.05）。ESR图谱分析表明,环境汞污染粮食暴露诱发大鼠脑中产生烷基自由基（R?）及羟基自由基（?OH）。自由基及MDA水平在暴露前期（<90d）相对稳定,长暴露90d后,自由基及脂质过氧化产物MDA水平有大幅升高（83%,100%）。大鼠脑中汞、硒元素含量7d暴露后均出现显著上升,两元素间有较强相关性,暴露前期大鼠脑中自由基水平相对稳定应与硒的清除作用有关。     

Formation mechanisms of nitrous acid (HONO) during the haze and non-haze periods in Beijing, China

As an important precursor of hydroxyl radical (OH), nitrous acid (HONO) plays a significant role in atmospheric chemistry. Here, an observation of HONO and relevant air pollutants in an urban site of Beijing from 14 to 28 April, 2017 was performed. Two distinct peaks of HONO concentrations occurred during the observation. In contrast, the concentration of particulate matter in the first period (period Ⅰ) was significantly higher than that in the second period (period Ⅱ). Comparing to HONO sources in the two periods, we found that the direct vehicle emission was an essential source of the ambient HONO during both periods at night, especially in period Ⅱ. The heterogeneous reaction of NO₂ was the dominant source in period Ⅰ, while the homogeneous reaction of NO with OH was more critical source at night in period Ⅱ. In the daytime, the heterogeneous reaction of NO₂ was a significant source and was confirmed by the good correlation coefficients (R²) between the unknown sources (P_unknown) with NO₂, PM_2.5, NO₂ × PM_2.5 in period Ⅰ. Moreover, when solar radiation and OH radicals were considered to explore unknown sources in the daytime, the enhanced correlation of P_unknown with photolysis rate of NO₂ and OH ($J_{{\mathrm{NO}}_2}$ × OH) were 0.93 in period Ⅰ, 0.95 in period Ⅱ. These excellent correlation coefficients suggested that the unknown sources released HONO highly related to the solar radiation and the variation of OH radicals.

城市大气颗粒物表面半醌自由基的测定方法

采集上海市城区和郊区2个典型站位的大气颗粒物样品,以二氯甲烷作萃取溶剂,采用索氏抽提法萃取分离吸附在颗粒物表面的稳定自由基,并利用电子自旋共振波谱技术(ESR)分析测定其种类和浓度。结果表明,测试样品的波谱特征表现为显著的三重信号峰,且g因子值均为2.002 7~2.004 7,通过与醌类物质的碱性饱和溶液ESR图谱比对,可以推断颗粒物表面至少吸附一种邻位半醌自由基。同时,通过锰标定量的方式估算了闵行和普陀2个采样点颗粒物样品表面的半醌自由基浓度,闵行采样点TSP、PM10和PM2.5表面半醌自由基的平均浓度分别为5.02×105、5.54×105、9.43×105g-1,而普陀采样点的平均浓度分别为2.02×105、3.50×105、7.16×105g-1。     

软件滤波在土体自振柱试验中的应用

自振柱试验是测量土样动剪切模量和阻尼比的常用方法,但由于噪声等环境因素的影响,土样扭剪自由振动的衰减波曲线有时会因高频干扰出现不平滑现象,难以得到合理的测试结果。软件数字滤波是解决这类问题的有效方法。本文通过多种软件数字滤波方法优缺点的对比,认为平均滤波法和惯性滤波法能有效解决试验数据中的高频干扰问题,并分别选择适当的滤波参数,得到了平滑的自振衰减波曲线;最后,采用平均滤波法处理了两组自振柱试验数据。结果表明,软件滤波法确能有效消除不合理数据,得到符合一般规律的土体动剪切模量和阻尼比试验结果,从而验证了其在土体自振柱试验中的应用价值。
