Chronic toxicity and cytotoxicity of synthetic pyrethroid insecticide cis-bifenthrin

With the increasing use of synthetic pyrethroids (SPs), the significance of ecological safety and health risk is an emerging concern. In this study, we evaluated the chronic aquatic toxicity of cis-bifenthrin (cis-BF) in Daphnia magna and its cytotoxicity in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells as well as human cervical carcinoma (Hela) cells. Chronic aquatic toxicity tests showed that cis-BF could significantly affect the reproduction of D. magna. The lowest observed effective concentration and the non-observed effective concentration of cis-BF to D. magna were 0.02 and 0.01 μg/L, respectively, and the chronic value was 0.014 μg/L. The intrinsic rate of natural increase was significantly decreased (p < 0.05) to 0.02 μg/L. The cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that cis-BF decreased cell viability in CHO and Hela cells in a concentration-and time-dependent manner. The IC₅₀ values for Hela and CHO cells were 4.0 × 10⁻⁵ and 3.2 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L, respectively. Together, these results indicated that cis-BF induced chronic toxicity in both aquatic invertebrate animals and mammalian cells. These findings assist in understanding the impact of SPs on health and environmental safety. Considering the wide spectrum of SPs, a more comprehensive understanding of the negative effects is indispensible for planning future application and regulation of these pesticides.     

有机锡化合物的毒性效应及其影响因素

以斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)和大型蚤(Daphniamagna)为受试生物,采用静水试验法评价了5种有机锡化合物的毒性效应,并初步探讨了化合物结构和性质对其毒性效应的影响.结果表明,有机锡化合物对两种水生生物均显示出较强的毒性,且具有相同的变化规律,即毒性效应均表现为三丁基锡＞四丁基锡＞二丁基锡＞一丁基锡,但由于种间差异及外部因素的影响,同一有机锡化合物对两种水生生物的毒性作用差异明显.同时,有机锡化合物自身的理化性质和分子结构也影响着它们对水生生物的毒性效应,只有当Sn原子与C原子相连时才表现出毒性,即有机锡对水生生物具有毒性.在同一取代系列的有机锡化合物中,取代烷基的数目越多,毒性越大,但是当取代烷基数增加到一定程度后,由于分子体积过大,毒性反而降低.     

4种纳米氧化铁对大型蚤的急性毒性

为了评价纳米氧化铁材料的水生态安全性,参照国家化学品生态毒性测试标准方法(GB/T13266-91),以大型蚤(Daphniamagna)为受试生物,研究了4种纳米氧化铁水悬浮液(nα-FeOOH:针状,15 nm;nFe3O4:球形,9 nm;nα-Fe2O3:近球形和纺锤形,40 nm;nγ-Fe2O3:针形和近球形,22 nm)对水生甲壳类动物大型蚤的毒性效应。结果显示,4种纳米氧化铁水悬浮液对大型蚤活动抑制的48 h EC50值分别为:0.267、0.097、3.717 mg/L,>100.0 mg/L。据此可得到4种氧化铁纳米材料的毒性大小顺序为:nFe3O4>nα-FeOOH>nα-Fe2O3>nγ-Fe2O3。通过对4种纳米氧化铁水生态安全性的初步评价,表明人工纳米材料的生态毒性和环境效应不容忽视,应重视并深入研究其制毒作用机制。     

Effects of stable aqueous fullerene nanocrystal （nC60） on Daphnia magna： Evaluation of hop frequency and accumulations under different conditions

We investigated the e ects of environmental factors and properties of water-stable crystal fullerene (nC60) on the uptake of nC60 by Daphnia magna based on known accumulation in our laboratory. This study was performed for seven days using di erent environmental factors including temperature, pH, water hardness, concentration (density of particle), and particle size. Results demonstrated that body burden of C60 increased with time in all experiments. Body burden of C60 increased with increasing concentration and particle size, and uptake of particles >100 nm reached their maximums more quickly than those <100 nm. Under high hardness in aqueous systems with lower pH and high temperature, uptake was higher than those under opposite conditions. Uptake in all batch tests reached balance within five days. Both nC60 properties and environmental factors influenced uptake of nC60 by D. magna in an aqueous system. Additionally, environmental factors may have a ected accumulation by changing nC60 properties, which are critical to understand the accumulation of fullerenes in aqueous systems.

丙烯酰胺对大型溞(Daphnia magna)的急性和慢性毒性

丙烯酰胺对大型(Daphniamagna)的急性试验表明,丙烯酰胺对大型的24h LC50、48h LC50值分别为173.21和89.59mg·L-1。21d生活周期试验结果表明,大型的生殖指标是对该种化合物最为敏感的慢性毒性参数。丙烯酰胺对大型生殖的无可见效应浓度(NOEC)为1.56mg·L-1,最低可见效应浓度(LOEC)为3.13mg·L-1,并据此计算出该毒物的最大允许浓度(MATC)为2.47mg·L-1。     

EFFECTS OF SUSPENDED SOLIDS ON THE ACUTE TOXICITY OF ZINC TO DAPHNIA MAGNA AND PIMEPHALES PROMELAS1

ABSTRACT: Current procedures for setting site-specific water quality criteria consider abiotic and biotic factors. Suspended solids were shown to be important in reducing zinc toxicity to water column organisms. At zinc concentrations of ～ 1 mg/L in solutions with < 100 mg/L of all suspended solids tested, zinc toxicity to D. magna was reduced. Sorption of zinc to suspended solids and/or changes in water chemistry due to the addition of suspended solids appear to have been the factors causing reductions in zinc toxicity to D. magna. Only suspended solids levels of 483–734 mg/L of a type that increased total alkalinity, total hardness, and total dissolved carbon clearly reduced the toxicity of ～ 20 mg/L zinc to P. promelas. The toxic form of zinc to these organisms appears to reside in the aqueous phase. Characteristics of suspended solids did not influence the partition coefficient of zinc in sorption experiments of 96 h. The slopes of dose-response curves proved to be useful for assessing the potential of an organism to respond to changes in aqueous phase zinc concentrations, and may be a useful biological parameter when considering site-specific water quality criteria for chemicals.     

聚氯乙烯和橡胶中化学成分的浸出行为及生态毒性

为探究塑料中化学成分的浸出行为及其生态毒性,以环境中广泛存在的聚氯乙烯(PVC)和橡胶(CTR)为研究对象,筛选25种有机塑化剂和15种金属作为目标物质,分析其在PVC和CTR材料中的浸出潜能,利用大型溞的急性致死效应和慢性亚致死效应(心率、胸肢跳动和游泳活性)表征了PVC和CTR浸出液的生态毒性效应。结果表明,PVC和CTR浸出液中共检出21种化学成分,其中邻苯二甲酸二异丁酯(DiBP)、邻苯二甲酸二(2-甲氧基)乙酯(DMEP)、双酚A(BPA)、双酚F(BPF)、Ca和Zn的浸出浓度较高。CTR中浸出的塑化剂和金属总浓度分别是PVC的8.8倍和1.2倍,且CTR中浸出的新型塑化剂BPF浓度达到3.51μg/g,显著高于BPA的浸出浓度。对比不同条件下浸出的物质量差异,发现光照能够加速PVC和CTR中DiBP、Zn和Ca等物质的释放,其赋存状态还受到细菌作用的干扰。CTR浸出液对大型溞的急性致死效应明显,48h半数致死浓度(LC₅₀)为浸出原液的19.1%。慢性暴露条件下,PVC浸出液对大型溞心率、胸肢跳动和游泳活性产生明显抑制作用,并造成大型溞肢体肥大。PVC和CTR等塑料颗粒不断排放,并在环境中累积,其生物毒害效应不容忽视。     

藻类对大型溞抵抗农药的毒理学影响及其机制

为探究藻类对大型溞农药抗性的影响及其机制,分别将5种淡水广布的甲藻、硅藻、绿藻、隐藻、蓝藻等量培育大型溞后,再将大型溞分别暴露于2种杀虫剂吡虫啉(水溶性)和氰戊菊酯(脂溶性)中,测定大型溞的半数致死剂量、化学计量比(P/C,N/C)和脂肪酸含量.研究表明:与生源性化学元素氮磷相比,N3不饱和脂肪酸能更好揭示大型溞对藻类的捕食关系;藻类的N3不饱和脂肪酸含量是影响大型溞对水溶性农药抗性的关键因子;大型溞对脂溶性农药的抗性差异比暴露在水溶性农药中更明显.因此,藻类的N3不饱和脂肪酸是预测大型溞对水溶性农药抗性强度的最佳因子,其有助于更准确地预测以不同藻类为食的大型溞食物链对自然环境中污染物的抗性和风险.

近年来,世界范围内突发性废水泄漏事件频发,在引起人们对水质问题恐慌的同时,也促进了饮用水在线监测与早期污染预警系统的发展。生物监测可以对污染环境下多污染物的联合毒性进行有效评估,具有传统化学监测所不具备的优点,已成为判定水质是否对水生生物存在影响、是否符合人类安全饮用的有效依据和手段。介绍了大型蚤在线生物监测系统的多通道流通生物测试室和生物传感器系统,并对世界范围内的研究与应用情况做了研究综述。目前,采用大型蚤作为指示生物的在线监测系统已在饮用水水质监测方面成功实现,但其在工业废水接管过程中毒性评估和早期预警的研究和应用上尚有不足,有待更加深入地探讨与研究。
