Fates and transport of PPCPs in soil receiving reclaimed water irrigation

Fates and transport of 9 commonly found PPCPs of the reclaimed water were simulated based on the HYDRUS-1D software that was validated with data generated from field experiments. Under the default scenario in which the model parameters and input data represented the typical conditions of turf grass irrigation in southern California, the adsorption, degradation, and volatilization of clofibric acid, ibuprofen, 4-tert-octylphenol, 4-n-nonylphenol, naproxen, triclosan, diclofenac sodium, bisphenol A and estrone in the receiving soils were tracked for 10 years. At the end, their accumulations in the 90 cm soil profile varied from less than 1 ng g⁻¹ to about 140 ng g⁻¹ and their concentrations in the drainage water in the 90 cm soil depth varied from nil to μg L⁻¹ levels. The adsorption and microbial degradation processes interacted to contain the PPCPs entirely within surface 40 cm of the soil profiles. Leaching and volatilization were not significant processes governing the PPCPs in the soils. The extent of accumulations in the soils did not appear to produce undue ecological risks to the soil biota. PPCPs did not represent any potential environmental harm in reclaimed water irrigation.     

Validation of a GC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of 86 persistent organic pollutants in marine sediments by pressurized liquid extraction followed by stir bar sorptive extraction

A multiresidue method for the analysis of 86 persistent pollutants in marine sediments at ultra-trace level has been developed and validated using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) coupled with thermal desorption and gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS/MS QqQ). The compounds analyzed belong to various families such as polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polybrominated diphenylethers, organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticides and other pesticides such as urons, and triazines. The analytes have very different polarities and log K_ow values, which is an important parameter in the optimization of a SBSE method. Due to PLE high efficiency and throughput rates, along with the proven ability for multiresidue analysis and excellent sensitivity of SBSE, we present an efficient method. The limits of quantification obtained ranged from 0.014 to 1.0 ng g⁻¹, with detection limits below pg g⁻¹ levels. In order to validate the proposed methodology, quality parameters such as recovery, linearity and reproducibility were studied. Recoveries ranged from 63% to 119%, reproducibility (in terms of Relative Standard Deviation for ten determinations) was lower than 35% in all cases, and determination coefficients higher than 0.990 for all analytes. The main factors that affect PLE, SBSE and GC-MS/MS procedures were optimized. The method was applied to the analysis of nine marine sediments obtained from the nine main submarine wastewater discharge points (emissaries) presents along the coast of Tenerife Island (Canary Islands, Spain).

Organochlorine pesticide residues in sediments from the Uganda side of Lake Victoria

Organochlorine (OC) residues were analysed in 117 sediment samples collected from four bays of the Uganda side of Lake Victoria. The sediments were collected with a corer at a depth of 0-20 cm, and extracted for OC residues using a solid dispersion method. The extracts were cleaned using gel permeation chromatography and analysed for pesticide residues using a gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with an electron capture detector. The results were confirmed using a GC equipped with a mass spectrometer (MS). A total of 16 OC residues, most of them persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were identified and quantified. The OC residue levels were expressed on an oven dry weight (d.w.) basis. Endosulphan sulphate, in the range of 0.82-5.62 μg kg⁻¹d.w., was the most frequently detected residue. Aldrin and dieldrin were in the ranges of 0.22-15.96 and 0.94-7.18 μg kg⁻¹d.w., respectively. DDT and its metabolites lay between 0.11-3.59 for p,p′-DDE, 0.38-4.02 for p,p′-DDD, 0.04-1.46 for p,p′-DDT, 0.07-2.72 for o,p′-DDE and 0.01-1.63 μg kg⁻¹d.w. for o,p′-DDT. The levels of γ-HCH varied from 0.05 to 5.48 μg kg⁻¹d.w. Heptachlor was detected only once at a level of 0.81 μg kg⁻¹d.w., while its photo-oxidation product, heptachlor epoxide, ranged between non-detectable (ND) to 3.19 μg kg⁻¹d.w. Chlordane ranged from ND to 0.76 μg kg⁻¹d.w. Based on the threshold effect concentration (TEC) for fresh water ecosystems, aldrin and dieldrin were the only OCs that seemed to be a threat to the lake environment.

长江江苏段主干断面污染物健康风险评价

为掌握长江水环境中污染物的健康风险，选取长江江苏段5个主干断面，对其水环境中主要有机物、重金属及非金属元素硼进行了监测。利用水环境健康风险评价模型评价主干断面和污染物的健康风险，结果表明：在所评价的断面中，栖霞江段断面污染较严重，健康危害的风险相对较大，其次为姚港河口，这2个断面入江支流的污染贡献不容忽视。水中54种有机污染物、7种重金属和元素硼由饮水途径所致健康危害的个人年风险为130×10-14～253×10-6/a，风险较大的（>10×10-9）有苯并［a］芘、镉、铬、钒和PCB52。污染物对健康危害的年总风险仅为255×10-6/a，远低于国际辐射防护委员会(ICRP)推荐的最大可接受值(50×10-5/a )。总体来看，长江江苏段主干断面水体中62种污染物污染所致的健康危害年风险度目前还处于很低水平，但风险较大的污染物的环境来源及相应的污染控制应引起管理部门的重视。研究结果可为长江沿线河流污染的有效控制，实现科学的水环境健康风险管理提供依据.

水力停留时间变化对2种人工湿地净化效果的影响

依托建立在新沂河河漫滩的人工湿地中试工程开展现场实验,研究分析水力停留时间变化对2种人工湿地污染物净化效果的影响。结果表明:水力停留时间的变化显著影响潜流和垂直流湿地污染物净化的效果,2种湿地高锰酸盐指数和氨氮(NH4+-N)去除效果随水力停留时间的变化均呈现先上升后下降的趋势。垂直流人工湿地显示出比潜流湿地更好、更稳定的污染物净化效果,其高锰酸盐指数和NH4+-N去除效果的最佳停留时间均出现在2 d左右,2种污染物的去除率分别达到93.1%和87.7%;而潜流湿地在水力停留时间为2 d左右时高锰酸盐指数去除率最高,达到92.3%,在2.5 d左右的时候NH4+-N去除率最高,达到81.5%。潜流和垂直流湿地都适合应用于新沂河污染河水的处理,在设计和实践应用中,两者的水力停留时间参数均可设定为2 d。
