Heavy metal exposure reduces hatching success of Acartia pacifica resting eggs in the sediment

The potential effects of three heavy metals （Cu, Pb, and Cd） on hatching success ofAcartia pacifica resting eggs in the sediment of Xiamen Bay were experimentally investigated. The number ofA. pacifica nauplii hatched from the sediment sharply decreased with the increase of metal concentration and exposure time from 3 to 30 d. An increase of the Cu concentration from 34.8 to 348 mg/kg, reduced the number of hatched nauplii by 46.6%-100%. An increase of the Pb concentration from 75.2 to 752 mg/kg, reduced the number of hatched nauplii by 21.4%-78.9%. An increase of the Cd concentration from 0.68 to 6.8 mg/kg, reduced the number of hatched nauplii by 31.6%-94.7%. The number of nauplii also significantly decreased with the increase of mixed-metal concentration and exposure time in the mixed-metal test. Trimmed Spearman-Karber analysis gave sediment metal 72-h LC50 values of 1.25 mmol Cu/kg, 1.73 mmol Pb/kg, and 0.054 mmol Cd/kg, which suggested that Cd was the most toxic to A. pacifica resting eggs in the three tested metals. The results indicate that heavy metals with higher concentrations can reduce recruitment of A. pacifica nauplii from benthic resting eggs to planktonic population.     

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

A field study was conducted in the Taihu Lake region, China in 2004 to reveal the organochlorine pesticide concentrations in soils after the ban of these substances in the year 1983. Thirteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in soils from paddy field, tree land and fallow land. Total organochlorine pesticide residues were higher in agricultural soils than in uncultivated fallow land soils. Among all the pesticides, ΣDDX (DDD, DDE and DDT) had the highest concentration for all the soil samples, ranging from 3.10 ng/g to 166.55 ng/g with a mean value of 57.04 ng/g and followed by ΣHCH, ranging from 0.73 ng/g to 60.97 ng/g with a mean value of 24.06 ng/g. Dieldrin, endrin, HCB and α-endosulfan were also found in soils with less than 15 ng/g. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT in soils under three land usages were: paddy field ＞ tree land ＞ fallow land, indicating that land usage inlfuenced the degradation of DDT in soils. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT ＞1, showing aged residues of DDTs in soils of the Taihu Lake region. The results were discussed with data from a former study that showed very low actual concentrations of HCH and DDT in soils in the Taihu Lake region, but according to the chemical half-lives and their concentrations in soils in 1980s, the concentration of DDT in soils seemed to be underestimated. In any case our data show that the ban on the use of HCH and DDT resulted in a tremendous reduction of these pesticide residues in soils, but there are still high amounts of pesticide residues in soils, which need more remediation processes.     

北京东南化工区土壤有机氯农药污染特征和分布规律

采集北京原东南化工区表层土壤样品,测定了土壤有机氯农药(滴滴涕、六六六和六氯苯)残留浓度,结果表明化工区土壤有机氯农药浓度较高,滴滴涕和六六六平均浓度高达5470ng/g和2110ng/g,比一般农业和城市土壤中的浓度高出很多;某些点位甚至超过国家土壤三级标准,高浓度的点位主要集中在原农药厂的生产车间和存储点。六氯苯由于来源和挥发性跟滴滴涕和六六六不同,所以六氯苯残留在化工区土壤中的分布相对比较均匀。化工区土壤滴滴涕和六六六的异构体组成特征表明工业区土壤的有机氯农药降解速度较慢,滴滴涕残留来源于工业滴滴涕和三氯杀螨醇,而六六六主要来源于工业六六六。化工区的有机氯农药污染主要来自于原农药厂的生产和存储,重污染点位对周围化工厂的有机氯残留有一定的影响。由于高残留浓度和较低的降解速度,化工区土壤有机氯农药残留的环境风险值得进一步关注。     

Persistent organochlorine residues in sediments of the Haihe River and Dagu Drainage River in Tianjin, China

Persistent organochlorine compounds were analyzed by means of GC-ECD in surface sediment samples from two selected rivers in Tianjin, Haihe River and Dagu Drainage River. A total of 16 surface sediment sites were selected along the both rivers. The frequency of detection of T-HCH and T-DDT in sediment samples both was up to 100%, which illustrated that the contamination of HCH and DDT was widespread in Haihe and Dagu Drainage Rivers. Results indicated that the concentrations of various pesticides in sediments from Haihe River were in the range of 3.30-75.96 ng/g dw for T-HCH and 1.57-211.57 ng/g dw for T-DDT. Compared with Haihe River, Dagu Drainage River was contaminated by HCHs and DDTs along the all locations and the values of T-HCH and T-DDT residues in sediments ranged from 2.30 to 124.61 ng/g dw and from 11.28 to 237.30 ng/g dw, respectively, The possible pollution sources were analyzed through monitoring results of organochlorine pesticides（OCPs） residues in sediments from the two rivers. The investigation also indicated that HCH was still used as pesticide in Tianjin partial area.     

有机氯农药在天津耕作土壤剖面中的分布

研究了天津耕作区典型土壤剖面中有机氯农药的分布特征,结果表明:在典型剖面的表层土壤中,六六六在菜地中的质量分数最高,其次是在高粱地、水稻田和玉米地;DDTs在菜地中的质量分数最高,其次是在高粱地,在水稻田与玉米地中的质量分数差别不大。有机氯农药质量分数在土壤剖面的纵向分布总体上是随着土壤剖面的加深而降低,有机氯农药的各个组分(α-HCH,β-HCH,γ-HCH,δ-HCH,DDE,DDD,DDT)质量分数也有类似的分布趋势。有机氯农药的物化性质、土壤黏粒含量、有机碳和微生物影响着它们在土壤剖面上的分布。六六六的4个异构体与原粉中各个异构体的质量分数相比有较大差异,这与4个异构体在土壤中的降解速度不同和各个异构体之间的转化有关。在表层土壤中w(DDT) w(DDTs)为0 033～0 188,远小于0 5,说明在这些耕作区中没有新的DDT污染。      

无锡鼋头渚夜鹭卵中有机氯农药残留及其环境指示意义

分析了太湖鼋头渚夜鹭卵中的有机氯农药残留情况,发现在禁用近20年后,HCH的异构体、DDT及其代谢物、异狄氏剂以及环氧七氯在夜鹭卵中都不有同程度的检出,其中β－HCH和p,p‘-DDE的残留水平和检出率均很高,p,p‘-DDE平均达到了0.906ug/g(干重）。研究发现无锡夜鹭卵中多数有机氯农药残留水平平均高于江西共青城地区的样品。无锡夜鹭卵孵化率较低。可能与DDE残留量较高有关。夜鹭卵中有机氯农药残留水平具有指示环境污染的意义。     

太湖沉积物中有机氯农药的残留特征及风险评估

分析了太湖沉积物中的有机氯农药残留情况,发现DDT及其代谢产物、HCH的异构体、艾氏剂、狄氏剂、六氯苯、七氯等在几乎所有的样品中均被检出.其中β-HCH、p,p'-DDE和六氯苯的残留水平最高,平均值分别达到6.572ng/g、1.432ng/g和2.158ng/g(干重),沉积物的HCHs含量明显高于DDTs.有机氯农药的主要来源为地表径流入湖、大气沉降和工业污水排放.数据表明太湖沉积物的HCHs、DDTs比报道的中国江河沉积物高,但低于海湾沉积物.根据海洋风险评估值进行对比,太湖沉积物中有机氯农药的生态风险较低.     

太湖梅梁湾沉积物中有机氯农药的残留现状

采用GC/ECD分析了梅梁湾沉积物中有机氯农药的残留现状.所测样品中有机氯农药总浓度为1.78～64.74ng/g,其中,HCHs、DDTs在几乎所有采样点都有检出,含量分别是0.23～1.81ng/g、1.78～63.08ng/g.HCHs中,α-HCH与γ-HCH残留水平相当,未检出β-HCH.DDTs中p,p'DDE残留水平较高.数据表明有机氯农药中HCHs可能有新的污染源输入,DDTs在多数采样点发生好氧生物降解,与国内不同水体表层沉积物中HCHs、DDTs的含量相比,梅梁湾沉积物中有机氯农药含量较低.     

地下河流域土壤中有机氯农药分布及来源分析

为研究有机氯农药在重庆青木关地下河流域土壤中的分布特征及来源,采用GC-μECD对17个代表性表层土壤样品进行分析.结果显示,研究区土壤中OCPs的含量范围是7.29~222.42ng/g,平均值为46.15ng/g.HCHs、DDTs在所有样品中均有检出,HCHs的含量范围是0.55~26.54ng/g,DDTs的含量范围是4.31~213.50ng/g.HCB的检出率达到88%,其含量范围是n.d.~1.78ng/g.研究区土壤中HCHs可能来源于工业HCHs残留和林丹的混合源,且由于环境影响,土壤中HCH的同系物之间发生了明显变化.DDTs主要来源于工业DDTs的非法使用,而非三氯杀螨醇类型的DDTs,并且仍有新的DDTs输入.与国内其他地区同类研究相比,本研究区土壤中HCHs、DDTs的残留水平较低;与国外相关研究相比,研究区内土壤中HCHs和DDTs的含量均高于德国、埃及、罗马尼亚土壤中HCHs和DDTs的含量.     

A 50-year record of dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes and hexachloro-cyclohexanes in lake sediments and penguin droppings on King George Island, Maritime Antarctic

Since the ban on the use of organochlorine pesticides （OCPs） such as dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane （DDT） and hexachlorocyclohexane（HCH） in agriculture, their levels have generally dropped. In a number of cases, however, the levels of these OCPs were found to be unchanging or even increasing after the ban. With the aim to unveil the possible causes of these exceptions, we collected two lake cores from King George Island, West Antarctica, and determined their accumulation flux profiles and temporal trends of these OCPs. In the lake core sediments with glacier meltwater input, the accumulation flux of DDT shows an abnormal peak around 1980s in addition to the expected one in 1960s. In the lake core sediments without glacier meltwater input, the accumulation flux of DDT shows a gradual decline trend after the peak in 1960s. This striking difference in the DDT flux profiles between the two lake cores is most likely caused by the regional climate warming and the resulted discharge of the DDT stored in the Antarctic ice cap into the lakes in the Antarctic glacier frontier. Furthermore, to investigate the change of OCPs loadings in the Antarctic coastal ecosystem, we reconstructed the HCH and DDT concentration profiles in penguin droppings and observed a gradual increase for the former and a continuous decrease for the latter during the past 50 years. The increase of HCH seems to be due to the regional warming from the early 1970s and the resulted HCH discharge to the coastal ecosystem by glaciers＇ meltwater and the illegal use of HCH in the Southern Hemisphere in the recent decade. The different temporal trends of HCH and DDT accumulation rate in the lake core with glacier meltwater input and the aged penguin droppings can be explained by their different water-soluble property.     

土壤及果树中HCH和DDT残留及分布规律研究

采用索氏提取、弗罗里土固相微萃取小柱净化结合GC-ECD测定了苹果园土壤和果树样品中4种六六六(HCH)和4种滴滴涕(DDT)的残留量,并对果树的根、枝、叶中HCH和DDT的分布规律进行了研究。实验结果表明,土壤和果树样品中均有HCH和DDT检出。土壤样品中两类农药的含量分别在0.51～3.97ng/g和1.46～15.55ng/g之间,其中β-HCH是六六六残留的主体,滴滴涕类的含量以p,p'-DDT为最高,并且(DDE+DDD)/DDT<1表明近期果园中有新的DDT输入。果树样品中,HCH和DDT的残留量分别在0.22～2.01ng/g和0.38～6.08ng/g之间,都要低于相应土壤中有机氯农药的浓度。果树中总OCPs的含量在4.88～17.94ng/g之间,是土壤和大气中OCPs污染共同作用的结果。根部的OCPs的含量明显高于枝和叶,其分布规律为根>叶>枝,这主要取决于根、枝、叶各组织的结构以及农药的理化性质。     

Environmental pollution by persistent toxic substances and health risk in an industrial area of China

Soil is an important environmental medium that is closely associated with humans and their health. Despite this, very few studies have measured toxicants in soils, and associated them with health risks in humans. An assessment of health effects from exposure to contaminants in soils surrounding industrial areas of chemical production and storage is important. This article aims at determining pollution characteristics of persistent toxic substances (PTS) in an industrial area in China to unravel the relationship between soil pollution by PTS and human health. One hundred and five soil samples were collected and 742 questionnaires were handed out to residents living in and around an industrial area around Bohai Bay, Tianjin in Northern China. Concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in soil. Mann-Whitney U and binary multivariate nonconditional logistic regression models were employed to analyze the relationship between health indicators of local residents and contaminant levels. Odds ratio (OR) and a 95% confidence interval (CI) for health incidences were also calculated. The average concentrations of DDT (73.9 ng/g), HCH (654 ng/g) and PAHs (1225 ng/g) were relatively high in the industrial area. Residents living in the chemical industry parks were exposed to a higher levels of PTS than those living outside the chemical industry parks. This exposure was associated with a higher risk of breast cancer (OR 1.87, 95% CI 0.12–30.06), stomach cancer (OR 1.87, 95% CI 0.26– 13.41), dermatitis (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.05–2.80), gastroenteritis (OR 1.59, 95% CI 0.94–2.68), and pneumonia (OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.58–1.89).     

小海湾水体有机氯农药的浓度水平和特征

以海南省万宁市小海湾为研究区,按照美国EPA8080A方法,使用仪器GC-ECD对小海湾海水和汇入其中地表水中样品的OCPs含量进行分析,样品中18种有机氯农药均出,以HCHs和DDTs为主,它们的和占到OCPs含量的60%。外海HCH含量0.26ng/L,DDTs含量0.53ng/L,OCPs含量1.34ng/L。海水中HCHs含量范围:2.39～4.59ng/L,平均值是3.31ng/L;DDTs含量范围:0.27～6.34ng/L,平均值是3.42ng/L;OCPs含量范3.63～17.01ng/L,平均值是11.15ng/L。地表水中HCHs含量范围:0.95～3.46ng/L,总含量是9.70ng/L;DDTs含量:0.96～2.86ng/L,总含量是9.70ng/L;OCPs含量范围3.71～17.16ng/L,总含量是59.13ng/L后山村河以及桥头村河的OCPs含量高出其它河流很多,周围是农田、居民点。由数据及小海湾的地理状况,得出海水中OCPs来源于地表径流,小海湾是OCPs巨大的储存库,OCPs主要汇集在沉积物中。     

松叶中有机氯农药HCH、DDT的研究

利用气相色谱-电子捕获检测(GC-ECD)方法对我国华北、华东、华南和西南地区松叶中六六六(HCH)和滴滴涕(DDT)的残留量进行了测定,结果表明,松叶中HCH 4种异构体(a,b,g,d)的含量以b-HCH为最高,占HCH总量的38%～46%.HCH、DDT和滴滴伊(DDE)的含量范围分别为24.7～35.5ng/g干重,2.4～7.0ng/g干重,2.4～2.8ng/g干重.DDE的含量趋势为华北>华东>华南>西南.总HCH为华东>华北>华南>西南.华北和华东地区DDE/DDT>1,华南和西南地区DDE/DDT<1,这表明在华南和西南地区大气中新近有DDT的输入.     

Gridded inventories of historical usage for selected organochlorine pesticides in Heilongjiang River Basin, China

Introduction O rganochlorine pesticides (O C Ps) is a com m on nam e of a group of pesticides consisting of benzene and chlorine. Som e of O C Ps belong to persistent organic pollutants (PO Ps) that are sem i-volatile, bioaccum ulative, persistent and toxic (V allack et al., 1998; Jones and de V oogt, 1999). O CPs are ubiquitous pollutants due to their long-range transport potential. These chem icals have even been found in rem ote areas like the A rctic (M acdonald etal., 2000; A M A …     

汾河表层沉积物PCBs和OCPs含量、来源及生态风险

利用GC-ECD方法测定了汾河太原段30个表层沉积物样品中多氯联苯(PCBs)和有机氯农药(OCPs)的含量,同时对沉积物中PCBs和OCPs的来源和生态风险进行了研究.结果表明,研究区PCBs和OCPs的含量分别为n.d.~50.95μg/kg和2.19 ~25.24μg/kg.Aroclor检出率最高为Aroclor1260和Aroclor1254,这可能与我国主要生产和使用的PCB有关.OCPs中p,p￠-DDE含量占优势,研究区HCH和DDT来源于工业和农业输入.生态风险评价结果表明,γ-HCH、DDT(total),o,p￠+p,p￠-DDT,p,p￠-DDE,七氯环氧化物,PCBs总量可能会对研究区水生生态环境造成潜在影响,但整体风险水平不高.     

Application of sewage sludge and intermittent aeration strategy to the bioremediation of DDT-and HCH-contaminated soil

Adding organic amendments to stimulate the biodegradation of pesticides is a subject of ongoing interest. The effect of sewage sludge on the bioremediation of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane（DDT） and hexachlorocyclohexane（HCH） contaminated soil was investigated in bench scale experiments,and intermittent aeration strategy was also used in this study to form an anaerobic–aerobic cycle. Bioremediation of DDT and HCH was enhanced with the addition of sewage sludge and the intermittent aeration. The removal rates of HCH and DDT were raised by 16.8%–80.8% in 10 days. Sewage sludge increased the organic carbon content from 6.2 to218 g/kg,and it could also introduce efficient degradation microbes to soil,including Pseudomonas sp.,Bacillus sp. and Sphingomonas sp. The unaerated phase enhanced the anaerobic dechlorination of DDT and HCH,and anaerobic removal rates of β-HCH,o,p′-DDT and p,p′-DDT accounted for more than 50% of the total removal rates,but the content of α-HCH declined more in the aerobic phase.     

Distribution of persistent organochlorine pesticides in tissue/organ of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) from Guanting Reservoir, China

The concentration of organochlorine pesticides（OCPs） in tissues and organs of silver carp（Hypophthalmichthys mofitrix） from Guanting Reservoir were investigated to evaluate the pollution potential and distribution of OCPs. A total of 16 OCPs were measured and the concentrations were in the range of 1.61-69.01 ng/g wet weight（ww） for total OCPs, 0.16- 0.75 ng/g ww for HCB. 0.75 -26.80 ng/g ww for SHCH（sum of α-,β-, γ- and δ-HCH） and 0.68-35.94 ng/g ww for SDDT（ sum of p, p＇-DDE, p, p＇-DDD, o, p＇-DDT and p, p＇- DDT）. The mean concentrations of total OCPs, HCB, ∑HCH, and ∑DDT were 18.04, 0.96, 7.14 and 9.28 ng/g ww, respectively. Among the organochlorine pesticides, β-HCH and p, p＇-DDE were the most dominant compounds in tissue and organ with the average concentrations of 4.42 and 8.14 ng/g, respectively. The results obtained in this study show that the levels of 16 OCP residues found in silver carps are low and pose no threat to human health and wildlife fed upon them on the basis of existing related quality guidelines. However, recent input of lindane and DDT might still exist in the area investigated and further investigation should be carried on.     

碳源对工业污染场地土壤中HCHs和DDTs降解的促进作用

我国对有机氯农药的大量需求使得在农药生产、加工和分装等过程中造成了许多城镇中存在有机氯农药污染场地,限制了土地的后续开发利用.本研究选取3种类型的碳源组成有机修复剂A、B、C,添加到受有机氯工业污染场地土壤中进行微生物降解试验,并对比了3种修复剂的效果.试验过程中,反应体系水分含量为50％,添加零价金属调节氧化还原电位,采用好氧/厌氧交替循环方式进行生物降解.实验结果表明:3种修复剂对HCHs和DDTs的降解都有显著促进作用.与DDTs相比,HCHs较易降解.90 d内,添加修复剂(A、B、C)的处理中∑HCH的浓度分别从73.37~85.71 mg·kg^-1降解到了15.88~38.21 mg·kg^-1.与未添加修复剂的对照相比较,∑HCH的降解率提高了19%~52%,90 d内,ΣHCH的降解率最高可达81%.添加修复剂(A、B、C)的处理中ΣDDT的浓度分别从91.68~119.79 mg·kg^-1降解到了45.1~60.7 mg·kg^-1,相对未添加修复剂的对照试验,∑DDT的降解率提高了39%~45%,30 d内∑DDT的降解率最高可达到51%,但30 d后降解效率无明显增加.就不同类型碳源的促进作用来看,C/N最高,而含水率最低的修复剂B的效果最好,而C/N比最低而含水率最高的修复剂A效果最差.     

北京市地下水有机氯和有机磷农药健康风险评价

地下水有机氯(OCPs)和有机磷(OPPs)农药污染是水资源保护的重点问题.应用固相萃取-气相色谱-质谱联用技术测定北京市18个地下水样品内16种有机氯和6种有机磷农药的含量.北京市地下水检出7种OPCs和2种OPPs.OCPs以六氯苯、六六六和滴滴涕为主,峰值分别为82.4、193和158 ng·L~(-1).OPPs检出敌敌畏和乐果,峰值分别为7.1 ng·L~(-1)和17.7ng·L~(-1).OCPs和OPPs检出点位多分布于污灌区.不确定性评价显示北京市人群经饮水途径摄入OCPs和OPPs非致癌和致癌风险均在可控范围内,其中OCPs非致癌和致癌风险均较高,女性为较敏感受体.对地下水中六六六和滴滴涕的监测应引起重视.
