Evaluation of photolysis and hydrolysis of pyraclostrobin in aqueous solutions and its degradation products in paddy water

This study evaluated the hydrolysis and photolysis kinetics of pyraclostrobin in an aqueous solution using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–photodiode array detection and identified the resulting metabolites of pyraclostrobin by hydrolysis and photolysis in paddy water using high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography. The effect of solution pH, metal ions and surfactants on the hydrolysis of pyraclostrobin was explored. The hydrolysis half-lives of pyraclostrobin were 23.1–115.5?days and were stable in buffer solution at pH 5.0. The degradation rate of pyraclostrobin in an aqueous solution under sunlight was slower than that under UV photolysis reaction. The half-lives of pyraclostrobin in a buffer solution at pH 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 and in paddy water were less than 12?h under the two light irradiation types. The metabolites of the two processes were identified and compared to further understand the mechanisms underlying hydrolysis and photolysis of pyraclostrobin in natural water. The extracted ions obtained from paddy water were automatically annotated by Compound Discoverer software with manual confirmation of their fragments. Two metabolites were detected and identified in the pyraclostrobin hydrolysis, whereas three metabolites were detected and identified in the photolysis in paddy water.     

鱼体中有机微污染物的定量及筛查研究进展

化学品通过多种途径进入环境水体,可对水生生物及人体健康造成潜在风险。鱼类作为水环境污染物监测的指示生物,分析鱼体内有机微污染物的分布特征是评估水环境安全的重要方法。现有污染物种类繁多,且在生物体内存在降解转化的过程,基于靶向定量分析的监测方法难以系统、准确地评估鱼体中有机污染物的暴露特征。由于具有高分辨率、高质量精度、高通量和回顾性分析等特点,高分辨质谱技术逐渐被用于鱼体中有机污染物的筛查研究,为鱼体中高风险及未知污染物的定性、定量分析提供可能。本文综述了鱼体中有机污染物的定量分析现状,筛查分析方法以及其在鱼体中有机微污染物筛查研究中的应用。

高分辨率监测岩溶地下水NO-3的动态变化及对外界环境的响应

为深入揭示岩溶地下水文系统对外界环境的响应,利用多指标高分辨率在线监测技术对受农业活动影响的重庆青木关地下河水文地球化学变化进行研究.主要的高分辨率监测指标包括水位、电导率(EC)、pH值、降雨和NO 3-.在观测的6场降雨内,地下河水化学特征快速地反映着外界环境的变化.研究区地下水pH值的变化主要受到酸雨的影响,在降雨后都表现出明显的下降趋势,但在农业废水进入地下河系统后,它的变化受到两者的共同影响.EC受到雨水化学、稀释效应及农业活动废水的影响.NO 3-主要是农业活动的产物,受雨水水化学特征的影响较小,它的变化主要受农业废水及稀释效应的影响.在R1降雨影响下,水位上升,EC和NO 3-总体呈相反的快速变化过程而pH值的变化主要受酸雨影响而下降.在R2、R3、R4和R6降雨期,水位受降雨影响而快速的变化,pH值受酸雨影响而下降,EC和NO 3-受稀释效应影响也下降.但随着农业活动废水进入地下河系统,EC和NO 3-浓度在最快5 h最慢仅27 h的时段内同步地急剧升高,pH值也受影响而加速下降.在R5大暴雨期,水位急剧上升,EC和NO 3-受稀释效应影响而急剧下降,pH值先受到酸雨影响而下降,后由于稀释效应...     

Climate Change in Southern and Eastern Africa During the Past Millennium and its Implications for Societal Development

Climatic records from equatorial eastern Africa and subtropical southern Africa have shown that both temperature and the amount of rainfall have varied over the past millennium. Moreover, the rainfall pattern in these regions varied inversely over long periods of time. Droughts started abruptly, were of multi-decadal to multi-centennial length and the changes in the hydrological budget were of large amplitude. Changing water resources in semi-arid regions clearly must have regional influences on both ecological and socio-economic processes. Through a detailed analysis of the historical and paleoclimatic evidence from southern and eastern Africa covering the past millennium it is shown that, depending on the vulnerability of a society, climatic variability can have an immense impact on societies, sometimes positive and sometimes disastrous. Therefore, the interconnected issue of world ecosystem and social resilience is the challenge for decision-makers if sustainable development is to be reached on global and local levels.     

Isolation and Identification of Antialgal Compounds from the Leaves of Vallisneria spiralis L. by Activity-Guided Fractionation (5 pp)

Background, Aims and Scope

Vallisneria spiralis Linn., a common, submerged macrophyte, is widely available in quiet waters of lakes, ponds, marshes and streams in Southeast Asia. V. spiralis plays a significant role not only in decreasing eutrophication of water body for its productivity, but also in inhibiting the growth of blue-green algae? The aim of the paper involves the isolation and identification of allelochemicals from extracts of V. spiralis by activity-guided fractionation and column chromatography.

Methods

Leaves of V. spiralis was washed free of debris, air-dried and refluxed in 95% EtOH. The extract was isolated using column chromatography and fractionation with antialgal activity. Potential allelochemicals were analyzed by high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HRGC-MS).

Results

Two fractions with strong antialgal activity were isolated using column chromatography and activity-guided fractionation from the extract of V. spiralis. 2-Ethyl-3-methylmaleimide, dihydroactinidiolide and 4-oxo-β-Ionone were identified in the first fraction, and 3-hydroxy-5,6-epoxy-β-ionone, loliolide, 6-hydroxy-3-oxo-α-ionone and an unknown compound in the second fraction. They had strong inhibitory effects on Microcystis aeruginosa Kütz.

Discussion

2-Ethyl-3-methylmaleimide is a byproduct of photooxidation of chlorophyll, and five other compounds identified were derivatives of β-carotene. HRGC-MS and derivatization technology were used to identify and confirm their molecular structures. The formula of the unknown compound was C16H19NO4. Metabolites of plant pigments had strong inhibitory activities on growth of algae.

Conclusions

Six compounds had been identified in V. spiralis, among them, 2-ethyl-3-methylmaleimide was the main allelochemical, and derivatives of ionone were also potential allelochemicals.

Recommendations and Perspective

. The results of our research could help us to study further mechanisms of inhibitory effect on algae and develop new potential antialgal substances.
