Mitigating Impact of Devils Lake Flooding on the Sheyenne River Sulfate Concentration

Devils Lake is a terminal lake located in northeast North Dakota. Because of its glacial origin and accumulated salts from evaporation, the lake has a high concentration of sulfate compared to the surrounding water bodies. From 1993 to 2011, Devils Lake water levels rose by ~10 m, which flooded surrounding communities and increased the chance of an overspill to the Sheyenne River. To control the flooding, the State of North Dakota constructed two outlets to pump the lake water to the river. However, the pumped water has raised concerns about of water quality degradation and potential flooding risk of the Sheyenne River. To investigate these perceived impacts, a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was developed for the Sheyenne River and it was linked to a coupled SWAT and CE‐QUAL‐W2 model that was developed for Devils Lake in a previous study. While the current outlet schedule has attempted to maintain the total river discharge within the confines of a two‐year flood (36 m³/s), our simulation from 2012 to 2018 revealed that the diversion increased the Sheyenne River sulfate concentration from an average of 125 to >750 mg/L. Furthermore, a conceptual optimization model was developed with a goal of better preserving the water quality of the Sheyenne River while effectively mitigating the flooding of Devils Lake. The optimal solution provides a “win–win” outlet management that maintains the efficiency of the outlets while reducing the Sheyenne River sulfate concentration to ≤600 mg/L.     

利用毒代动力学模型研究氟虫腈在夹杂带丝蚓体内的手性选择性积累过程

农药的生物积累直接影响其毒性,但是手性农药在生物体内的选择性积累过程仍不明确.本文在恒定环境水浓度的条件下,开展手性农药氟虫腈的外消旋体及其对映体在底栖无脊椎动物夹杂带丝蚓体内的生物积累实验.在96 h和72 h的吸收和消除实验过程中,测定生物体内的氟虫腈的外消旋体和对映体浓度随时间的变化情况,构建毒代动力学模型,获取吸收和消除速率常数.结果表明夹杂带丝蚓对R-氟虫腈的生物浓缩因子(1981 L·kg~(-1)脂肪)比对S-氟虫腈(1748 L·kg~(-1)脂肪)更大.R-氟虫腈和S-氟虫腈的吸收速率常数相当,分别为311±11 L·kg~(-1)脂肪·h~(-1)和313±13 L·kg~(-1)脂肪·h~(-1),而R-氟虫腈的消除速率常数小于S-氟虫腈,分别为0.157±0.006 h~(-1)和0.179±0.008 h~(-1),因此相对较慢的消除是导致R-氟虫腈在夹杂带丝蚓体内更高生物积累的主要原因.研究说明毒代动力学参数可有效阐释手性外源物质在生物体内选择性积累的差异.     

电化学开关表面活性剂对芘的可逆增溶作用

表面活性剂增强修复技术(SER)是目前行之有效的有机污染土壤修复技术,但SER技术存在表面活性剂与污染物分离困难、易导致二次污染、成本高等问题.基于此,提出采用具有电化学开关特性的表面活性剂(N,N-二甲基二茂铁甲基十二烷基溴化铵,Fc12)代替SER技术中的常规表面活性剂,发展基于开关表面活性剂的可逆增强修复技术(RSER).选取芘作为目标物,研究了Fc12在氧化和还原态对芘的增溶作用以及常见环境因素,如pH和温度对Fc12可逆增溶的影响.结果表明,相对于氧化态Fc12,还原态Fc12在其临界胶束浓度(CMC)以上时对芘表现出显著的增溶作用,且增溶能力随表面活性剂浓度增大而增强.温度对Fc12的增溶作用影响显著,例如,还原态Fc12在浓度为3 mmol·L~(-1)、25℃条件下时,芘的表观溶解度为0.779 mg·L~(-1),当温度增加到40℃时,芘的表观溶解度为0.971 mg·L~(-1),其表观溶解度增加了24.6%;但氧化态条件下,芘的表观溶解度仅增加了6.5%;芘的解吸率(芘在还原和氧化态Fc12的表观溶解度差值与还原态Fc12增溶芘的比值)由63.67%增加到71.27%.pH也显著影响Fc12的增溶,当pH值在6—10范围变化时,还原态Fc12的增溶作用呈现先增加后减小的趋势,且在pH 9附近增溶能力最强,而pH 8时芘的解吸果最好.

A mini review of fluoride-induced apoptotic pathways

Fluorine or fluoride can have toxic effects on bone tissue and soft tissue at high concentrations. These negative effects include but not limited to cytotoxicity, immunotoxicity, blood toxicity, and oxidative damage. Apoptosis plays an important role in fluoride-induced toxicity of kidney, liver, spleen, thymus, bursa of Fabricius, cecal tonsil, and cultured cells. Here, apoptosis activated by high level of fluoride has been systematically reviewed, focusing on three pathways: mitochondrion-mediated, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated, and death receptor-mediated pathways. However, very limited reports are focused on the death receptor-mediated apoptosis pathways in the fluoride-induced apoptosis. Therefore, understanding and discovery of more pathways and molecular mechanisms of fluoride-induced apoptosis may contribute to designing measures for preventing fluoride toxicity.     

小飞蓬入侵对伊犁河谷草原土壤养分及活性有机碳组分的影响

因小飞蓬繁殖能力强,传播速度快,其入侵后排挤本土植物以较快的速度形成重度入侵群落,对草原生态系统的种类组成和群落结构产生影响.本文以伊犁河谷托乎拉苏草原内自然分布的猪毛蒿和糙叶矢车菊土著植物群落、混有少量小飞蓬的猪毛蒿和糙叶矢车菊轻度入侵群落、猪毛蒿糙叶矢车菊和小飞蓬中度入侵群落、小飞蓬重度入侵群落的4个群落为研究对象,采用样地实验的方法,研究小飞蓬入侵对土壤氮、磷、钾无机养分和活性有机碳组分变化的影响.研究表明,小飞蓬入侵后提高了土壤有机质含量.轻度入侵群落对土壤无机养分需求较大,明显降低土壤速效氮、速效磷、速效钾、硝态氮、铵态氮含量;随着入侵程度加深,逐渐恢复且均高于土著群落含量,其中速效氮含量增加不明显,重度入侵群落在0—10 cm、10—20 cm土层仍处于降低趋势.小飞蓬的入侵对于土壤活性有机碳组分影响较大.轻度入侵时降低土壤微生物活性、阻碍易氧化有机碳的积累,可溶性有机碳含量上升;小飞蓬重度入侵时对微生物量碳、易氧化有机碳含量的影响降低,并促进土壤微生物活性.
