Uptake of aluminum by lipid vesicles

Aluminium uptake and tight binding were studied in multilayered phospholipid liposomes, as a model for cellular uptake of aluminum ions. Most of these studies were conducted with an initial aluminum concentration of 10 μM, while aluminum superficially bound to liposomes was removed by citrate chelation. Maximum uptake and tight binding of aluminium were pH‐dependent. In dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) liposomes, this maximum occurred in the neutral pH region, while it was shifted towards more acidic pH values in DMPC liposomes containing 20% of acidic phosphatidylserine. The initial rate of aluminum uptake was apparently dependent on the physical state of the liposome membrane. Prior formation of an aluminum‐citrate chelate prevented aluminum uptake and tight binding to DMPC liposomes.     

Changes in polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) levels in cooked food

Food surveys for levels of toxic chemicals frequently report the levels on an uncooked basis. It is known that cooking may in some conditions decrease the amount of dioxins and related chemicals in food. Surveys of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) levels in food to date show data from uncooked food only. In this article, it was shown that broiling, with fat dripped from the foods reported here, ground beef, ground lamb, catfish, trout, and salmon, reduces the amount of PBDEs in these foods. This suggests that calculations of food intake need to take into consideration levels in the cooked food rather than in the uncooked food.     

Human exposure to aluminum

Aluminum is the third most abundant element in nature, accounting for nearly 8% of the Earth's crust. Because of its chemical activity, aluminum is not found naturally in its free, or metallic, state. However, in its ionic or combined forms, aluminum is a truly ubiquitous element.Because of the widespread use of metallic aluminum in cooking and packaging applications, the Aluminum Association has funded critical reviews of the world's literature on the health effects of aluminum and aluminum compounds for the past 30 years.More recently, an extensive research and literature surveillance effort was developed to provide information on the neurological implications of aluminum, dietary intakes and body balance, and analytical capabilities. Based on these efforts the following conclusions can presently be drawn: (1) the cause (or causes) of Alzheimer's disease is not known; (2) the biological significance of aluminum found in the brain is not understood; (3) aluminum is poorly absorbed by the body; and (4) the normal ingestion of aluminum from food and water should have no adverse effects on human health.

食品烹调处理过程中砷的浓度、形态和生物可给性研究进展

食品作为人体砷暴露的主要途径,其砷的含量和形态备受关注。由于食品原料通常要经过烹饪加工后才会被人食用,因此,食品的烹调处理过程及方式对砷的形态及生物有效性的影响在砷的健康风险评价研究中,需要作为重要因素进行研究。通过综述不同食品烹调处理前后砷浓度、形态和生物可给性变化的相关研究,分析了砷变化的特征,探讨了相关机理,并得出如下结论:烹调处理能使食品中砷的浓度发生升高或降低;高温烹调能使食品中砷形态发生变化,目前研究结果确定的变化主要是砷甜菜碱的分解,烹调中食品砷形态变化的机理尚不明确。不同烹调方式下,食品中砷的生物可给性差异较大,砷的形态变化可能是其生物可给性差异的主要原因。烹调特别是高温烹调下食品砷浓度升高及形态变化导致的健康风险值得进一步关注。     

模拟酸雨对红壤铝形态的影响

用动态淋洗试验，研究了不同pH的模拟酸雨对红壤中铝形态和性质的影响．结果表明，酸雨淋洗引起红壤中盐基离子的淋失和土壤铝的溶出．随着酸雨溶液pH的降低，盐基淋矢量和铝溶出量增加．酸雨淋洗影响土壤铝形态的转化，使红壤中交换态铝上升，吸附态羟基铝有所下降．这说明在酸雨长期作用下，羟基铝溶解，并转化为交换态铝和引起铝的溶出，使铝进入环境，危害生态系统．     

Migration of aluminum from food contact materials to food—a health risk for consumers? Part I of III: exposure to aluminum,release of aluminum,tolerable weekly intake (TWI), toxicological effects of aluminum,study design,and methods

Background

In spite of the prevalence of aluminum in nature, no organism has been found to date which requires this element for its biological functions. The possible health risks to human beings resulting from uptake of aluminum include detrimental effects to the hemopoietic system, the nervous system and bones. Aluminum is used in many fields and occurs in numerous foodstuffs. Food contact materials containing aluminum represent an anthropogenic source of dietary aluminum.

Results

As a result of their frequent use in private households a study was undertaken to detect migration of this metal to foodstuffs from drink containers, coffee pots, grill pans, and camping cookware made of aluminum.

Conclusions

An estimate of the health risk to consumers is calculated, based on the tolerable weekly intake (TWI) specified by the European Food Safety Authority of 1 mg/kg body weight for all groups of people. In some instances the TWI is significantly exceeded, dependent upon the food contact material and the food itself.

     

增塑剂邻苯二甲酸二（2-乙基己基）酯的危害、分布及生物降解

邻苯二甲酸二（2-乙基己基）酯（DEHP）广泛用于塑料产品、皮革、建筑材料、个人护理产品、洗涤剂、油漆和药物等产品中。作为最常用的增塑剂,DEHP一直是备受关注的人工合成物。本文在国内外已有研究成果的基础上,综述分析了DEHP的危害、分布和生物降解等,为今后的研究提供思路。许多动物实验研究结果显示,DEHP具有生殖发育毒性、免疫毒性、胚胎毒性、肝脏毒性及致癌性等多种毒性,并具有引起甲状腺素代谢改变的类雌激素活性。虽有针对 DEHP 与乳腺癌、胰腺癌、睾丸癌、呼吸系统癌症和多发性骨髓瘤等的关系之间的研究,但无足够证据表明 DEHP 会导致人类患上这些癌症或其他疾病。由于人体实验数据的严重缺乏,DEHP对人体的毒性并未得到完全确认,因此WHO将DEHP列为2B类物质,意为可能的致癌物质。作者认为DEHP的人体毒性实验是有关DEHP研究的前提和首要任务,因此建议对DEHP接触人群开展追踪研究,以获得基础性数据。另外鉴于环境中存在多种污染物质,因此建议开展 DEHP 与其他物质的协同毒性的研究。检测数据表明,DEHP已经广泛存在于水、食品容器、空气和土壤中。我国松花江、黄河和长江等多处采样点的数值超出了国家规定的生活饮用水水源水标准或国家地表水水质标准。DEHP 也是污水中最为常见的内分泌干扰物质。DEHP也广泛存在于牛奶、肉、奶酪、谷物、鱼和各种海产品等,且脂类含量越高,如牛奶、肉类和鱼类等,则DEHP的含量越高。塑料包装的食品如果放置时间过长,则会导致更多的DEHP释放到食品中。家具及装修材料也会释放DEHP,因此室内空气中也会含有一定量的DEHP。目前,美国、澳大利亚、日本等大多数国家规定DEHP在空气中的职业暴露限值为5 mg·m^-3,WHO建议饮用水中DEHP的限值为8μg·L^-1,我国也?

Higher sorption of arsenate versus arsenite on amorphous Al-oxide, effect of ligands

Arsenic pollution is currently a major health issue because As is toxic for human beings, animals, and plants. Knowledge of As mobility is therefore important to assess health risk. The sorption of arsenite and arsenate on metal oxides in the presence of various anionic ligands is closely linked to the mobility, bioavailability, and risk. It was reported that the sorption mechanisms and characteristics of arsenite and arsenate on Al-oxides were different from that on Fe-oxides. Previous work reports the sorption of arsenite and arsenate on Fe-oxides in the presence of ligands. Whereas there is few knowledge on the sorption of arsenite and arsenate by Al-oxides in the presence of ligands. Here, we studied the sorption of arsenite and arsenate on amorphous Al-oxide by batch experiments. We tested the effect of organic ligands: oxalate, malate, tartrate, citrate; and inorganic ligands: sulfate, phosphate, selenate, selenite. Results show that amorphous Al-oxide has more sorption affinity for arsenate than arsenite. The inhibition of As sorption by ligands at pH 6 is higher for arsenite than arsenate. For arsenite, the As sorption inhibition decreases in the order phosphate, citrate, malate, selenite, oxalate, tartrate, sulfate, and selenate. For arsenate, the As sorption inhibition decreases in the order phosphate, malate, citrate, selenite, tartrate, oxalate, sulfate, and selenate.     

A mathematical model of PCB bioaccumulation in plankton

In batch experiments exposing individual plankton constituents to Aroclor 1254 PCB, the rate at which the organism approaches partitioning equilibrium appears to be partly size-dependent while the extent of PCB accumulation is species-specific. The sorptive desorptive kinetics of PCB in these experiments can be described mathematically by a first-order expression. Employing this expression in a model plankton food web permits examination of the role of feeding and sorptive processes in determining PCB body burden under various environmental conditions. When ingestion rates exceed desorption and excretion rates, a consuming organism accumulates PCB above levels predicted by equilibrium partitioning relationships. Feeding-induced oscillations in PCB body burden could thus obscure the reduction of soluble PCB concentration which determine a “baseline” PCB body burden. Unless referenced to a specific set of biological and environmental conditions, the importance of direct partitioning from water vs. food uptake appears to be a moot topic.     

铝离子与聚硅酸的相互作用

本文应用核磁共振技术及化学分析方法研究了铝离子与聚硅酸之间的相互作用情况;借助于微电泳技术测定了含铝离子的聚硅酸絮凝剂在不同pH值条件下水解沉淀物的表面ζ电位变化情况;借助于透射电镜手段及静置观察方法考察了铝离子含量对聚硅酸胶凝作用的影响。实验结果表明,聚硅酸对铝离子具有一定的螯合(络合)和吸附作用,但二者之间不存在定量的作用关系,而是聚硅酸对铝离子的作用量随着铝离子含量的增加而增加。铝离子影响聚硅酸的胶凝时间,适量的铝离子的存在可延长聚硅酸的胶凝时间。聚硅酸的存在影响铝离子在不同pH值下的水解沉淀物的ζ电位值,使得达到零电位状态时的pH值向低pH值方向移动。     

Modeling individual and population dynamics in a consumer–resource system: Behavior under food limitation and crowding and the effect on population cycling in Daphnia

In population modeling, a considerable level of complexity is often required to provide trustworthy results, comparable with field observations. By assuring sufficient detail at the individual level while preserving the potential to explore the consequences at higher levels, individual-based modeling may thus provide a useful tool to investigate dynamics at different levels of organization. Still, population dynamics resulting from such models are often at odds with observations from the field. This may be partly caused by a lack of focus on the individual dynamics under conditions of food stress and starvation. I developed a physiologically structured, individual-based simulation model to investigate life history of Daphnia and its effect on population dynamics in response to the productivity of the system. In verifying model behavior with available literature data on life history and physiology, I paid special attention to the dynamics of food intake and the verification of individual level results under conditions of food limitation and starvation. I show that the maximum filtering rates under low food levels used in the current model are much closer to measured filtering rates than the ones used in other models. Being consistent with results on physiology and life history from experiments at a wide range of food availability (including starvation), the model generates low amplitude or high amplitude population density cycles depending on the productivity of the system, as observed in field and experimental populations of Daphnia and with the minimum population densities being one to two orders of magnitude lower in the high amplitude than in the low amplitude cycles. To generate results which are not only qualitatively but also quantitatively comparable to experimental and field observations, however, a crowding effect on the filtering response has to be incorporated in the model.     

Migration of aluminum from food contact materials to food—a health risk for consumers? Part III of III: migration of aluminum to food from camping dishes and utensils made of aluminum

Background

When cooking on a barbecue grill, consumers often use aluminum grill pans. For one, the pan catches the fats and oils that would drip into the embers causing the formation of potentially noxious smoke, and the pan also protects the food from being burned by direct heat from the coals. In addition, new aluminum products for use in ovens and grills are becoming increasingly popular. Due to their light weight and excellent heat transfer camping, utensils made of aluminum are, for example, often used by fishermen and mountain climbers. Preparing food in aluminum utensils can, however, result in migration of the aluminum to the foodstuffs.

Results/Conclusions

In this study presented here, it was found that the transfer limit of 5.00 mg/L for aluminum is not exceeded using simulants for oil or for tap water; however, with an aqueous solution of 0.5% citric acid, the limit is clearly exceeded at 638 mg/L. This means that the Tolerable Weekly Intake (TWI) is exceeded by 298% for a child weighing 15 kg and for an adult weighing 70 kg it is equivalent to 63.8% of the TWI, assuming a daily uptake of 10 mL marinade containing lemon juice over a period of 1 week. Preparation of a fish dish with a marinade containing lemon juice in camping dishes would result in the TWI being exceeded by 871% for a child weighing 15 kg and by 187% for an adult weighing 70 kg assuming a daily uptake of 250 g over a period of 1 week.

     

Some biologically important low molecular weight organic acids in the sediments of Loch Eil

The isolation of biologically important low molecular weight organic acids from organically enriched sediments in Loch Eil, Scotland, was carried out by extraction of pore water with acidified ethyl acetate. High concentrations of acetic acid, up to 1.8 mg g^-1 dry weight of sediment were found at Station E-24. Propionate, butyrate, valerate, lactate and traces of succinate were also found. Succinate was present in significant amounts, 42.2 g g^-1 dry weight of sediment at Station E-70, which received a higher input of organic matter than E-24. Both propionate and succinate were absent from a control station in the Lynn of Lorne where the sediment was low in carbon compared with Loch Eil. In experimental tanks, acetate levels increased as the input of organic carbon (as cellulose) was increased up to a load level of 1.5 g m^-2 day^-1. Above this, acetate decreased and succinate appeared. Succinate was not detected in low-loaded tanks. Experiments with sieved mud showed a vertical distribution of the different acids with depth. Lactate and succinate reached highest concentration in the 0 to 3 cm layer, acetate at 3 to 6 cm and propionate at 6 to 9 cm. The results are discussed in relation to the role of these acids as food sources and as indicators of biochemical pathways taking place in sediments with different carbon input levels.

Organic compounds in water extracts of coal: links to Balkan endemic nephropathy

The Pliocene lignite hypothesis is an environmental hypothesis that has been proposed to explain the etiology of Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN). Aqueous leaching experiments were conducted on a variety of coal samples in order to simulate groundwater leaching of organic compounds, and to further test the role of the Pliocene lignite hypothesis in the etiology of BEN. Experiments were performed on lignite coal samples from endemic BEN areas in Romania and Serbia, and lignite and bituminous coals from nonendemic regions in Romania and the USA. Room temperature, hot water bath, and Soxhlet aqueous extraction experiments were conducted between 25 and 80 °C, and from 5 to 128 days in duration. A greater number of organic compounds and in higher concentrations were present in all three types of leaching experiments involving endemic area Pliocene lignite samples compared to all other coals examined. A BEN causing molecule or molecules may be among phenols, PAHs, benzenes, and/or lignin degradation compounds. The proposed transport pathway of the Pliocene lignite hypothesis for organic compound exposure from endemic area Pliocene lignite coals to well and spring drinking water, is likely. Aromatic compounds leached by groundwater from Pliocene lignite deposits in the vicinity of endemic BEN areas may play a role in the etiology of the disease. A better understanding of organic compounds leached by groundwater from Pliocene lignite deposits may potentially lead to the identification and implementation of effective strategies for the prevention of exposure to the causative agent(s) for BEN, and in turn, prevention of the disease.     

不同pH下低分子量有机酸对黄壤中铝活化的影响

用一次平衡的方法研究了不同pH下低分子量有机酸对黄壤中铝活化的影响.结果表明,低分子量有机酸体系可以通过质子和有机酸阴离子两个因素促进黄壤中铝的活化.当pH>4.3时,有机酸通过络合作用促进铝溶解的大小顺序为:柠檬酸>草酸>水杨酸>乳酸,与有机酸和铝形成络合物的稳定常数大小一致.有机酸阴离子可以通过自身的吸附增加土壤交换态铝的量,但质子作用对黄壤交换态铝的活化比有机酸阴离子的吸附起着更为重要的作用,随pH值的降低这种趋势更加明显.有机酸对交换态铝的活化作用随pH值的降低而增加.低分子量有机酸活化的铝主要分布在土壤表面的交换位上,但在柠檬酸和草酸体系中,当pH值分别大于4.40和4.55时,活化铝主要分布在土壤溶液中.
