威远江自然保护区思茅松种群的林窗更新研究

在野外考察的基础上,运用径级结构、高度结构的方法对思茅松种群的林窗更新进行研究,研究结果表明：思茅松纯林的林窗更新与灌草层盖度,尤其是草本层盖度密切相关。灌木层盖度的大小影响幼苗的存活,灌木层盖度小,幼苗存活率高。草本层盖度的大小影响种子的萌发,草本层盖度小,种子萌发率高。在针阔混交林林窗中,当常绿阔叶树稀少或土层浅薄时,思茅松更新个体年龄差异大,当常绿阔叶树长势好且密度较大时,思茅松更新个体年龄普遍差异较小。     

Pesticide exposures and respiratory health in general populations

Human exposures to pesticides can occur in the workplace, in the household and through the ambient environment. While several articles have reviewed the impact of pesticide exposures on human respiratory health in occupational settings, to the best of our knowledge, this article is the first one to review published studies on the association between pesticide exposures and human respiratory health in the general populations. In this article, we critically reviewed evidences up to date studying the associations between non-occupational pesticide exposures and respiratory health in general populations. This article also highlighted questions arising from these studies, including our recent analyses using the data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), for future research. We found few studies have addressed the impact of environmental pesticide exposures on respiratory health, especially on lung function, in general populations. In the studies using the data from CHMS Cycle 1, exposures to OP insecticides, pyrethroid insecticides, and the organochlorine pesticide DDT were associated with impaired lung function in the Canadian general population, but no significant associations were observed for the herbicide 2,4-D. Future research should focus on the potential age-specific and pesticide-specific effect on respiratory health in the general population, and repeated longitudinal study design is critical for assessing the temporal variations in pesticide exposures. Research findings from current studies of non-occupational pesticide exposures and their health impact in general population will help to improve the role of regulatory policies in mitigating pesticide-related public health problems, and thereafter providing greater benefit to the general population.     

Analysis of PFAAs in American alligators part 2: Potential dietary exposure of South Carolina hunters from recreationally harvested alligator meat

Exposure to perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAAs) has been linked to many harmful health effects including reproductive disorders, developmental delays, and altered liver and kidney function. Most human exposure to environmental contaminants, including PFAAs, occurs through consumption of contaminated food or drinking water. This study uses PFAA data from meat samples collected from recreationally harvested American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) in South Carolina to assess potential dietary exposure of hunters and their families to PFAAs. Consumption patterns were investigated using intercept surveys of 23 hunters at a wild game meat processor. An exposure scenario using the average consumption frequency, portion size, and median perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) concentration in alligator meat from all hunt units found the daily dietary exposure to be 2.11 ng/kg body weight per day for an adult human. Dietary PFOS exposure scenarios based on location of harvest suggested the highest daily exposure occurs with alligator meat from the Middle Coastal hunt unit in South Carolina. Although no samples were found to exceed the recommended threshold for no consumption of PFOS found in Minnesota state guidelines, exposure to a mixture of PFAAs found in alligator meat and site-specific exposures based on harvest location should be considered in determining an appropriate guideline for vulnerable populations potentially exposed to PFAAs through consumption of wild alligator meat.     

长三角地区春季臭氧污染特征及其对冬小麦产量的影响

春季是长三角地区对流层O₃污染的高峰期之一,高浓度的O₃暴露会影响冬小麦生长导致减产.利用长三角地区各城市2014年春季逐时ρ（O₃）观测数据,研究了长三角地区春季O₃污染特征,并结合O₃暴露指数（M7指数和AOT40指数）和剂量-响应关系模型,详细评估了长三角地区O₃污染对冬小麦产量的影响.结果表明:长三角地区春季ρ（O₃）空间上总体呈南低北高的分布,长三角地区北部江苏和上海的ρ（O₃）明显高于南部的浙江地区,在浙江北部、江苏和上海等地区,整个春季日最大8 h ρ（O₃）平均值超过107 μg/m3,最高值出现在5月,超过128 μg/m3;一半以上的城市ρ（O₃）超标[超过GB 3095-2012《环境空气质量标准》中8 h滑动平均ρ（O₃）的二级标准限值（160 μg/m3）]日数在10 d以上,其中南京和扬州超标日数最多,分别为27和20 d;相应地,O₃暴露指数也呈南低北高的分布,其中苏北地区O₃暴露指数最高,导致长三角地区平均冬小麦相对损失达5.7%（M7）~25.5%（AOT40）,造成的产量损失为7.85×105 t（M7）~4.49×106 t（AOT40）,其中,苏北地区为5.8%（M7）~25.9%（AOT40）,造成的产量损失为6.77×105 t（M7）~3.86×106 t（AOT40）,占长三角地区冬小麦产量损失的86%以上.研究显示,当前长三角地区O₃污染及其对冬小麦产量的影响已相当严重,特别是对苏北地区,而苏北地区是我国重要的冬小麦产地之一,因此,应当科学有效地治理O₃污染以缓解粮食安全问题.

以佛山一高校为研究对象,采集教工区和学习区共30个样点的室内灰尘,测定灰尘中8种重金属As、Cd、Cr、Cu、Hg、Ni、Pb和Zn的含量,采用Spearman相关系数、主成分分析、美国EPA风险评价模型,探析了室内灰尘重金属污染程度、来源,并评估了重金属对人体可能的健康风险.结果表明,相对于广东省土壤背景值,室内灰尘8种重金属污染严重;与国内其他城市相比,室内灰尘金属含量处于较高水平,Hg除外;8种金属含量在教工区和学习区无显著性差异.室内灰尘8种金属存在相似的来源,Hg主要来源于室外人为源,其余金属主要来源于室内人为源.非致癌日均暴露量为手-口接触摄入量皮肤吸收量呼吸摄入量,手-口摄入是室内灰尘重金属暴露的主要途径;除个别样点Cr非致癌风险1、致癌风险值达10-6外,多数样点8种重金属非致癌风险1,4种致癌重金属呼吸途径致癌风险未达10-6,对人体不会造成健康危害.打印机/复印机、仪器设备等是室内重金属的重要污染源和风险源,应采取一定的防护措施降低人体暴露风险.     

潍坊滨海经济技术开发区饮用水中有机磷酸酯的水平及人体暴露风险评估

采用固相萃取-气相色谱-三重四极杆质谱联用法(SPE-GC-MS/MS)分析了潍坊滨海经济技术开发区饮用水中的6种有机磷酸酯(organophosphate esters,OPEs)的浓度水平及组成特征,并分析了潍坊滨海经济技术开发区饮用水和当地居民混合血清中OPEs的相关性.采用美国环保署(US EPA)推荐的健康风险评价模型,评价了潍坊滨海经济技术开发区饮用水中OPEs的健康风险.结果表明,自来水样品中Σ_6 OPEs浓度水平为162~253 ng·L~(-1),而地下水中Σ_6 OPEs的浓度水平为3.52~13.9 ng·L~(-1),比自来水低两个数量级.自来水中磷酸三(2-氯)乙酯[tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate,TCEP]的浓度水平最高,占Σ_6 OPEs的94.81%,地下水中含量最高的OPEs为磷酸三苯酯(triphenyl phosphate,TPh P),占Σ_6 OPEs的47.55%.2011年采集的潍坊滨海经济技术开发区居民混合血清中OPEs的分布与自来水中OPEs的分布间显著正相关(r=0.990,P0.01),2015年采集的居民混合血清中OPEs的分布与自来水中OPEs的分布间也显著正相关(r=0.997,P0.01),表明饮用水中的OPEs可能对人体血清中OPEs的污染水平有重要的贡献.不同人群通过饮用水摄入OPEs的日均暴露剂量(DI)为0.26~7.48 ng·(kg·d)-1,饮用水中各OPEs的非致癌性风险危害商(HQ)在10~(-5.81)~10~(-2.43)之间,通过饮用水摄入的OPEs非致癌性风险处于较低的水平.通过饮用水摄入的TCEP致癌性风险(Risk)在10~(-8.82)~10~(-6.79)之间,低于理论风险阈值(Risk=10~(-6.00)),但自来水中TCEP的致癌性风险相对高于地下水.
