口服纳米银对大鼠的生物有效性及其体内分布的研究

由于独特的抗菌特性，纳米银(AgNP)在诸多领域得到广泛应用，但是其生物有效性、动物组织分布及排出尚不清楚。将聚乙烯吡咯烷酮包被的AgNP溶液按照10 mg kg^-1给雌性SD大鼠灌胃，采用ICP-MS检测SD大鼠组织、粪便及尿液中总银浓度。实验结果表明，AgNP通过小肠吸收后，可以通过血液循环快速分布在肝、肾、脾、肺、脑等靶器官。灌胃后1 h，大鼠各组织中总银浓度达到最大值(肝、肾、脾、肺、脑中银浓度分别为0.29 ± 0.13 mg kg^-1、0.23 ± 0.04 mg kg^-1、0.17 ± 0.05 mg kg^-1、0.11 ± 0.01 mg kg^-1、0.06 ±0.02 mg kg^-1)，之后银浓度随时间降低直至和对照组无显著性差异。在灌胃途径下，AgNP对SD大鼠的有效性为8.5%，且73%的AgNP是通过粪便的途径排出体外。     

Geochemical distribution,bioavailability and potential toxicity of some trace metals in a complex micro-tidal estuary,Southwest India

The spatial and temporal variations of some trace metals in the surface sediments of Cochin Estuary were analyzed along with their geochemical associations to identify the possible sources, bioavailability and the health risks posed by them. The dominance of kaolinite and suggested that clay minerals distribution is influenced by sediment sorting. Total metal analysis revealed enrichment for Cd, Pb and Zn due to anthropogenic activities. The speciation analysis established that notwithstanding the large availability, carbonate as well as organic and sulfides bound fractions showed negligible associations with most of the metals. Hydrous Fe–Mn oxides appeared to play a major role in controlling the fate and transport of these metals in the sediments of Cochin Estuary. Lower contribution of the residual fractions for Cd (21%–26%), Pb (<60%) and Zn (24%–42%) indicated an obvious increase of other geochemical fractions. Risk assessment analysis revealed that regardless of total concentration, none of the analyzed metals were at safe levels in the estuary as appreciable percentages were found to be associated with mobile geochemical forms. The speciation study conspicuously established that the metals originating from non-geogenic sources are largely associated with the labile fractions and hence are more detrimental to the aquatic biota.     

Enhanced biodegradation of endosulfan and its major metabolite endosulfate by a biosurfactant producing bacterium

The present study was carried out to isolate bacteria capable of producing biosurfactant that solublize endosulfan (6,7,8,9,10,10-Hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro- 6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepine-3-oxide) and for enhanced degradation of endosulfan and its major metabolite endosulfate. The significance of the study is to enhance the bioavailability of soil-bound endosulfan residues as its degradation is limited due to its low solubility. A mixed bacterial culture capable of degrading endosulfan was enriched from pesticide-contaminated soil and was able to degrade about 80% of α-endosulfan and 75% of β-endosulfan in five days. Bacterial isolates were screened for biosurfactant production and endosulfan degradation. Among the isolates screened, four strains produced biosurfactant on endosulfan. ES-47 showed better emulsification of endosulfan and degraded 99% of endosulfan and 94% of endosulfate formed during endosulfan degradation. The strain reduced the surface tension up to 37 dynes/cm. The study reveals that the strain was capable of degrading endosulfan and endosulfate with simultaneous biosurfactant production.     

绿洲土Pb-Zn复合胁迫下重金属形态特征和生物有效性

通过对Pb-Zn复合胁迫下干旱区绿洲土壤中油菜种植进行盆栽试验模拟,探讨了重金属复合污染对油菜生长的影响及其各形态之间的转化规律和生物有效性.结果表明,低浓度Pb、Zn处理下,油菜生长得到促进,茎叶生长优势大于根系.随着外源重金属的投加,土壤中Pb、Zn主要赋存形态较对照均由紧结合态向松结合态转化,重金属生物有效性提升;可交换态Pb、碳酸盐结合态Zn分别是油菜不同部位吸收Pb、Zn的主要贡献形态.油菜在低浓度胁迫水平对Pb、Zn的富集能力和转移能力强于高浓度胁迫水平,且油菜对Pb、Zn的富集、迁移系数均随土壤中对应元素或共存元素生物有效态含量的增大而减小.所有处理中,油菜茎叶中的Pb含量均超出了食品安全限量指标,建议在此类土壤种植叶菜类蔬菜前进行相关指标检测.     

Mitigation of eutrophication caused by wastewater discharge: A simulation-based approach

Mitigation of eutrophication, intensified by excessive nutrient load discharge in wastewaters regulated by restrictive legal requirements, remains one of today’s most important global problems. Despite implementation of the Water Framework Directive, the Urban Wastewater Directive and the HELCOM recommendations, the actual condition of surface water is still not satisfactory. In response to the above, the study presents an alternative approach for surface water protection against eutrophication based on the selection of appropriate nutrient removal technologies. An activated sludge model simulation was used to enable the identification of environmentally justified nutrient removal systems with lowest eutrophication potential of treated wastewater conditioned by bioavailable nutrient forms content. Based on the outcome of the study, the 3-stage Bardenpho system was identified as the most efficient for bioavailable phosphorus removal, while the Johannesburg system proved to have the highest efficiency for bioavailable nitrogen removal. The proposed eutrophication mitigation approach underlines the need for a reconsideration of current legal regulations which ignore nutrient bioavailability and key eutrophication limiting factors.     

土壤铜硒复合污染中金属形态转化及其对生物有效性的影响

采用土培盆栽试验和室内分析相结合的方法,研究了Cu、Se复合污染土壤中2种金属的形态转化及其对生物有效性的影响.结果表明,在未污染土壤中,Cu主要以残渣态存在,Se主要以有机结合态和残渣态存在.在外源Cu、Se污染土壤中,平衡后(14 d),外源Cu主要以铁锰氧化物结合态存在,Se主要以可交换态及碳酸盐结合态存在;小白菜收获后,土壤中的Cu向有机结合态转化,而Se向铁锰氧化物结合态转化.外源Cu与土壤结合程度(IR值)均随外源Cu和Se浓度升高而逐渐降低;而Se与土壤结合程度(IR值)与外源Cu浓度无关,随外源Se浓度升高而下降.S型曲线拟合方程表明,适量的Se(≤10mg.kg-1)可以促进小白菜对Cu的吸收,同样适量的Cu(≤400 mg.kg-1)能促进小白菜对Se的吸收.土壤的Cu、Se的IR值与小白菜体内Cu、Se含量呈显著负相关(P<0.05),小白菜种植前后土壤中可交换态和有机结合态铜和硒的变化量与小白菜地上、地下含量也呈显著相关(P<0.05).因此,土壤元素的IR值和作物种植前后该元素形态的变化量均可作为评价重金属生物有效性的指标.

红枫湖后午沉积物磷形态与生物有效磷的垂向分布及疏浚深度推算

以贵州红枫湖后午重污染沉积物为研究对象,对沉积物柱芯按每2cm分层,研究了沉积物中含水量、孔隙度、磷形态与生物可利用磷的垂向分布规律,并推算出污染沉积物的环保疏浚深度。结果表明,含水量和孔隙度在沉积物上部30cm内递减,30cm往下剧减。沉积物中不同磷形态、生物有效磷的垂向分布规律相似,分别在6～12cm和15～16cm两个层段出现了转折,在底部30cm后趋于稳定。沉积物表层16cm中NaOH-P和有机磷含量的剖面变化,反映了红枫湖近20年来水环境富营养化的演变过程。根据含量拐点法和环保疏浚经济成本的考虑,可将后午区域疏浚层的深度定为30cm。
