淮河水体取代苯类污染及其生态风险

测定了13种取代苯类污染物、阿特拉津和乙草胺在淮河4个监测断面水、水体沉积物，鲤鱼（Grass Carp）中的浓度，并计算了上述有机污染物的生物富集因子（BAF）和生物沉积物浓缩因子（BSAF）。同时通过在现场放置的三油酸酯半渗透膜采样器（SPMD）研究，发现上述污染物在SPMD中的浓度和在鲤鱼脂肪或沉积物有机质中的浓度之间有显著相关性，因此，提出利用SPMD得到的三油酸酯沉积物富集因子（TSAF）来代替BSAF，用于沉积物污染生态风险评价。在怕检测的污染物中，影响水体水质的主要是2，4－二硝基苯，六氯苯，阿特拉津，采样断面中蚌埠的生态风险最大。

Passive sampling of PAHs in indoor air in Nepal

PAHs were sampled in ten homes in the Makwanpur region, Nepal. SPMDs and moss bags (Sphagnum girgensohnii) were used as passive samplers. Soot particles on the SPMD surfaces were also analyzed for PAHs. The overall PAH concentrations in SPMDs were significantly higher than those in moss bags. Total PAH mean concentrations of ten houses were 535μg/g lipid for SPMDs and 7.2 μg/g moss (dw) for moss bags. Ratios of phenanthrene/anthracene in indoor SPMDs and particulate matter varied from 2.9 to 3.5 and ratios of fluoranthene/pyrene varied from 1.1 to 1.4. The values for moss bags were respectively 1.7–3.6 and 0.8–2.4. These ratios indicate that the PAHs are from combustion origin. The PAH concentrations in ambient air were estimated as B(a)P TEQs and they were 17–64 times higher than acceptable limit for Finnish community air. Based on PAH levels in the gas phase (SPMD) we may expect PAHs to have an impact on respiratory disease prevalence in Nepalese villages. Both of the sampling methods were feasible in the difficult conditions under which the study was performed.

半透膜被动采样装置(SPMDs)对PAHs 和壬基酚类的静态富集

半透膜采样装置(SPMDs)是一种被动采样装置,它能模拟有机污染物穿过生物膜从水相到生物有机相的分配平衡过程,使得结果能显示出污染物的生物可利用性。它能对环境中有机污染物进行长时间连续监测,所得的是污染物被SPMD富集后的时间权重浓度。本实验测定了温度为18℃时标准SPMD对7种PAHs和3种NPnEO(n=0～2)的静态富集过程,通过测定污染物达到平衡时在SPMD内的浓度和在水相中浓度的比值,求解了各自的SPMD/水分配平衡常数KSPMD。表明了有机污染物在SPMD和水相之间达到分配平衡所需要的时间是随着其Kow值的增高而逐渐增长的,还与其各自的分子极性有关,并且几种达到富集平衡的PAHs在SPMD内的浓度也是随着其Kow值的增高而逐渐变大。比较KSPMD的理论值和实测值可以发现,对于PAHs而言,其实测值都高于理论值,而NPnEO都是实测值低于其理论值。但是KSPMD实测值和理论值随污染物Kow值变化的趋势相同。     

Assessing the toxicity and teratogenicity of pond water in north-central minnesota to amphibians

BACKGROUND: Incidence of amphibian deformities have increased in recent years, especially in the northern region of the United States. While many factors have been proposed as being responsible for generating deformities (e.g., contaminants, ultraviolet radiation [UV], parasites), no single cause has been definitively established. METHODS: To determine whether waterborne chemicals are responsible for amphibian deformities in ponds in north-central Minnesota, we deployed semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) in an impacted and a reference site to accumulate lipophilic contaminants. We then exposed native tadpoles (northern leopard frogs; Rana pipiens) to the SPMD extracts combined with two agricultural pesticides (atrazine, carbaryl) at two levels of UV radiation. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: UV radiation alone caused a slight increase in hatching success and tadpole growth rate. Deformity rate among hatchlings was high following exposure to SPMD extracts from the reference site in the absence of UV, suggesting that chemicals present at this site are broken down by UV to less harmful forms, or become less bioavailable. Conversely, impacted site SPMD extracts caused hatchling deformities only in the presence of UV, suggesting that UV potentiates the teratogenicity of the compounds present there. Impacted site SPMD extracts significantly increased the number of bony triangles among metamorphs, a common deformity observed at this site. The incidence of skin webbings increased significantly with SPMD extracts from both sites as well as with our pesticide control containing atrazine and carbaryl alone. CONCLUSIONS: Higher deformity rates among tadpoles reared in the presence of UV radiation and SPMD extracts from sites where deformities are common indicates a chemical compound (or compounds) in the water at this site may be causing the deformities. RECOMMENDATIONS AND OUTLOOK: It is important to examine the effects of chemical stressors in the presence of other natural stressors (e.g., UV radiation) to gain a better understanding of how multiple stressors work to impact amphibians and amphibian populations.     

Concentration of Organochlorine Pollutants in Surface Waters of the Central European Biosphere Reserve Krivoklatsko (8 pp)

Background, Aim and Scope The article is focused on dioxin, furan, PCB and organochlorine pesticide monitoring in the surface waters of the Central European, protected natural reserve Krivoklatsko, under the UNESCO programme Man and Biosphere. Persistent compounds are presently transported via different means throughout the entire world. This contamination varies significantly between sites. This raises the question of what constitutes the naturally occurring background levels of POPs in natural, unpolluted areas, but which are close to industrialised regions. Information of real background POP contamination can be of high value for risk assessment management of those sites evidently polluted and for the defining of de-contamination limits. Preserved areas should not be seen as isolated regions in which the impacts of human activities and natural factors are either unexpected or overlooked. Every ambient region, even those protected by a law or other means, are still closely connected to neighbouring human developed and impacted areas, and are therefore subject to this anthropogenic contamination. These areas adjacent to natural reserves are sources of diverse substances, via entry of air, water, soil and/or biota. After an extended period of industrial activities, organochlorine pollutants, even those emitted in trace concentrations have reached detectable levels. For future research and for the assessment of environmental changes, present levels of contamination would be of high importance. This work publishes data of the contamination with organochlorine pollutants of this natural region, where biodiversity and ecological functions are of the highest order. Materials and Methods: Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) were utilised as the sampling system. SPMDs were deployed in two small creeks and one water reservoir selected in the central part of the Krivoklatsko Natural Reserve, where it could be expected that any possible contamination by POPs would be lowest. The exposed SPMDs were analysed both for chemical contents of POPs and for toxicity properties. The chemical analyses of dibenzo-dioxins, dibenzo-furans, PCBs and OCPs were analysed by GC/MS/MS on GCQ or PolarisQ (Thermoquest). Toxicity bioassays were performed on the alga Desmodesmus subspicatus, bacteria Vibrio fischeri and crustacean Daphnia magna. All toxicity data were expressed as the effective volume Vtox. Vtox is a toxicity parameter, the determination of which is independent of SPMD deployment time and pre-treatment dilution (unlike, for example, the EC50 of the SPMD extract). Results: The following chemical parameters were monitored: 1) tetra, penta, hexa and hepta dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans; 2) all those detectable from tri- through deca-polychloriated biphenyls (PCBs) and 3) a group of organochlorine pesticides: hexachlorobenzene and isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane, DDE, DDD and DDT. The concentrations of dioxins and furans on the assessed sites varied from under detection levels up to 7 pg.l-1; PCBs were detected in a sum concentration up to 2.8 ng.l-1; and organochlorine pesticides up to 346 pg.l-1. The responses of bioassays used were very low, with the values obtained for Vtox being under 0.03 l/d. Discussion: Toxicity testing showed no toxicity responses, demonstrating that the system used is in coherence with the ecological status of the assessed sites. Values of Vtox were under the critical value – showing no toxicity. The PCA of chemical analysis data and toxicity responses resulted in no correlations between these two groups of parameters. This demonstrated that the present level of contamination has had no direct adverse effects on the biota. Conclusions: The concentration values of six EPA-listed, toxic dioxins and sums of tetra-hepta dioxins; nine EPA toxic dibenzofurans and the sums of tetra-hepta bibenzofurans are presented together with all tri-deka PCBs and organochlorine pesticides (alfa-, beta-, gama-, delta-HCH, HCB, opDDE, ppDDE, opDDD, ppDDD, opDDT, ppDDT). These values represent possible current regional natural background values of these substances monitored within the Central European region, with no recorded adverse effects on the freshwater ecosystem (up until the present time). Recommendations and Perspectives: Assessment of dioxins, furans and other organochlorine compounds within natural reserves can be important for the monitoring of human-induced impacts on preserved areas. No systematic monitoring of these substances in areas not directly affected by industry has generally been realised. There is a paucity of data of the presence of any of these substances within natural regions. Further monitoring of contamination of both soil and biota by dioxins and furans in preserve regions is needed and can be used for future monitoring of man-made activities and/or accidents. Semipermeable membrane devices proved to be a very good sampling system for the monitoring of trace concentrations of ambient organochlorine compounds. Toxicity evaluation using the Vtox concept demonstrated that those localities assessed expressed no toxicity.     

利用SPMD技术监测珠江三角洲大气中多环芳烃

利用半渗透膜被动采样装置(SPMD),对珠江三角洲地区大气中多环芳烃进行了分季度为期一年的监测,同时在广州(GZ01站)用大流量采样器进行主动采样分析.结果表明,SPMD主要采集大气气态多环芳烃,其富集速率Rs受温度影响显著,低温更有利于SPMD对有机物的渗透富集.大气气态PAHs浓度季节差异明显,各季度平均值分别为286.0ng/m³(4～6月),322.0ng/m³(7～9月),216.4ng/m³(10～12月)和153.3ng/m³(1～3月),温度是影响气态PAHs含量高低的主因素.该区域内,污染程度呈南北低、中间高.污染源主要来自于机动车尾气的排放.     

被动式采样器与原位鱼体暴露用于监测水体Ah受体效应的比较研究

采用被动式采样器SPMD结合H4ⅡE鼠肝癌细胞离体EROD测试的方法来评价水体中Ah受体效应物质的污染水平.以多环芳烃(PAHs)为目标化合物,在太湖梅梁湾地区选取了5个站点,同时放置SPMD采样器和笼养鲫鱼进行32 d的现场原位暴露实验,然后对SPMD样品提取液进行化学分析和离体EROD测试,对鱼肌肉样进行化学分析和对肝胰脏样进行活体EROD测试.结果表明,随着暴露时间的延长,SPMD样品提取液诱导EROD酶的能力逐渐增强,经过32 d暴露的SPMD样品的提取液其诱导的EROD酶活相当于TCDD的毒性当量值为3.8～6.2 pg/g,而且根据化学分析结果计算的PAHs相当于TCDD的毒性当量值与离体生物测试结果之间相关性很好(R²=0.88),说明PAHs是引起该地区水体EROD效应的一个重要诱导因子;根据化学分析结果而配制的模拟样品的离体EROD测试结果表明,多环芳烃类物质对梅梁湾地区水体Ah受体效应的贡献约为40%～50%.研究还发现,SPMD提取液离体EROD测试结果与同时暴露的鱼体肝胰脏的活体EROD测定结果之间也存在较好的相关性(R²=0.62).因此认为,SPMD结合离体EROD测试的方法能够很好的用于评价水体中Ah受体效应物质的污染水平,并能够用于揭示特定化合物与相应的生物效应之间的定量关系.     

利用SPMD技术监测珠江三角洲大气有机氯农药

利用半渗透膜装置(SPMD)对珠江三角洲地区大气有机氯农药(OCPs)进行了分季度为期1年的监测分析。结果显示,该地区大气OCPs主要为DDTs,HCHs,氯丹和甲氧基氯,DDTs的含量约占总量的62%～88%。珠江三角洲地区大气有机氯农药时空分布差异明显,OCPs含量夏季高于冬季;各地区大气有机氯农药的年均含量为3 8～27 5ng d,香港和珠海较低(平均为5 0ng d),广州(GZ01)最高,年均值达27 5ng d。大气中m(DDT) m(DDD+DDE)均大于1,表明近期该地区大气中仍有新的DDT输入,对α-HCH和α-氯丹的手性特征进行了分析,它们的旋光异构体比值(年均值)(ER(+-))分别为0 75和0 69。夏季大气与土壤中α-HCH的ER(+-)相当,而冬季大气ER(+-)要低于土壤,表明夏季大气α-HCH基本来自于土壤中α-HCH的挥发,而冬季大气α-HCH可能来自土壤挥发与外来源迁移的组合。
