医疗废物焚烧炉周边环境介质中二噁英的浓度、同系物分布与来源分析

采用高分辨气相色谱/高分辨质谱仪(HRGC/HRMS)测定了我国西北某医疗废物焚烧炉排放烟气及周边环境空气、土壤和植物样品中2,3,7,8-PCDD/Fs含量和组成,并对周边环境中二噁英来源进行了初步解析.监测结果表明烟气中二噁英毒性当量浓度(以I-TEQ计)均值为184 ng·m-3,远超医疗废物焚烧废气排放标准限值(0.5 ng·m-3),环境空气、土壤和植物样本中二噁英毒性当量浓度均值分别为7.30 pg·m-3、52.5 pg·g-1、146 pg·g-1,均处于较高的污染水平.污染源下风向上的环境空气样品中二噁英浓度明显高于上风向上样品中的浓度,下风向样品中的浓度随与污染源距离的增加呈现先升高后降低的趋势,最高浓度的样本距污染源700 m左右.烟气样品2,3,7,8-PCDD/Fs同类物单体质量浓度(毒性当量)分布特征与主导风下方向空气、土壤、植物样本中的具有较强的相似性.样本二噁英浓度空间分布特征、同类物分布特征及主成分分析数据均表明,该区域环境中二噁英主要来源于医疗废物焚烧烟气排放.

Concentration, Profile Distribution and Source Identification of PCDD/Fs in Environmental Medium Around a HSWI

The concentration and profiles of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in the environmental air, soil and plant samples around a hospital solid waste incinerator (HSWI) in Northwest of China were determined by HRGC/HRMS, and the flue gas samples of the HSWI were also involved. The results showed that the average concentration(I-TEQ) of PCDD/Fs in the exhaust gas was 184 ng·m^-3, which seriously exceeds the emission standard (0.5 ng·m^-3). And the average concentration of PCDD/Fs was 7.30 pg·m^-3 in the ambient air samples, 52.5 pg·g^-1 in the soil samples, and 146 pg·g^-1 in the leaves samples. All of them were at quite high levels. The concentrations of PCDD/Fs in air samples of downwind were obviously higher than those of upwind. The concentration increased and then decreased with the increase of distance from the HSWI, and the highest concentration occurred at the distance of 700 m from the HSWI. The mass concentration (I-TEQ) proportional distributions of 2,3,7,8 substitution toxic dioxins in downwind air and soil samples was similar to those in the exhaust gas samples. The analysis results of PCDD/Fs concentrations, profiles distributions and principal components all showed that the major source of PCDD/Fs in this area was from the HSWI flue gas emissions.
