珠江河流胶体中的典型内分泌干扰物

采用切向流超滤、固相萃取、气相色谱-质谱联用等分离和分析方法,研究了珠江2条河流中典型内分泌干扰物(EDCs)在胶体相中的含量分布、胶体/水相间的分配作用.结果发现:胶体中4-壬基酚(NP)、双酚A(BPA)、雌酮(E1) 的含量范围分别为23.2~108ng/L、2.3~97.6ng/L、n.d.(未检出)~0.32ng/L,平均值分别为70,31.4,0.3ng/L;17β-雌二醇(E2)、己烯雌酚(DES)、17α-乙炔雌二醇(EE2)、雌三醇(E3)则未在胶体样品中检出.除石龙外,其余各采样点表、底水层间的胶体EDCs浓度水平无显著差异.NP和BPA含量与胶体有机碳(COC)含量、紫外吸收强度(UV254)均呈正相关,说明COC是控制酚类雌激素在胶体相中分布的一个重要因素,NP、BPA和COC之间的相互作用与胶体有机碳的芳香性有关.计算发现,珠江河水中约21%~67% 的 NP、4%~74% 的BPA、24%~26% 的E1存在于胶体相,NP和BPA在胶体/水相间的有机碳归一化分配系数(Kcoc)分别为10 (5.69±0.50)、10 (5.51±0.77),高出各自的悬浮颗粒物/水分配系数(Koc)1个数量级,表明胶体的强吸附能力对EDCs在水环境介质间分配、迁移、转化发挥了重要作用.     

AnSBR法处理生活污水中典型环境雌激素的研究

为评价和考察厌氧序批式反应器(AnSBR)对生活污水中9种典型环境雌激素的去除效果和机制,采用固相萃取(SPE)——LC/MS/MS分析方法,分析所选环境雌激素的浓度和污泥吸附量. 结果表明:大豆苷元,4-t-辛基酚(OP),4-n-壬基酚(NP)和染料木素的检出浓度高于其他5种环境雌激素;厌氧污泥对NP,OP,雌酮(E1),17α-乙炔基雌二醇(EE2)和17β-雌二醇(E2)的吸附作用明显;大豆苷元和染料木素的去除率在60%以上;大豆苷元、染料木素和雌三醇(E3)的主要去除机制为生物降解作用,EE2,OP和NP的去除是生物降解、污泥吸附的共同作用.      

罗时江中5种环境内分泌干扰物的分布特征

以典型的农业面源污染河流——大理洱海罗时江作为研究对象,采用固相萃取、超声萃取和气相色谱质谱联用技术,对河流水体和表层沉积物样品中5种EDCs〔环境内分泌干扰物,包括BPA(双酚A)、E1(雌酮)、E2(17β-雌二醇)、EE2(乙炔基雌二醇)和E3(雌三醇)〕进行分析测定.结果表明,罗时江水体中普遍存在EDCs,其中ρ(BPA)为1.01～43.64 ng/L,ρ(E1)为2.54～20.53 ng/L,ρ(E2)为nd～23.18 ng/L,ρ(EE2)为1.16～13.74 ng/L,ρ(E3)为nd～26.55 ng/L.各采样点EDCs污染通量结果显示,右所、邓川2个乡镇对EDCs污染贡献量最为显著,之后由于湿地截留以及河流的自净作用EDCs污染通量有所削减.罗时江对洱海的入湖EDCs贡献量为1.35～3.70μg/s.在城镇下游处沉积物中E1和E3的富集倍数均为各采样点中最高,这与河流水体中的污染通量变化趋势一致,进一步说明该处污染负荷的加剧,并且说明EDCs会在污染发生时于下游就近沉积.沉积物中w(E3)最高(1.48～28.44μg/kg),其次为w(E1)(0.36～2.95μg/kg),E2因迅速降解不易富集.

利用再生水涵养地下水过程中3种典型内分泌干扰物的迁移转化特性

通过土柱模拟试验研究了3种典型的内分泌干扰物——17β-雌二醇(E2)、炔雌醇(EE2)和双酚A (BPA)在再生水涵养地下水过程中的吸附、生物降解和迁移特性。结果表明:3种EDCs的衰减效果为E2>EE2>BPA,3种不同运行方式下的衰减效果为干湿交替回灌(WDAR)>连续回灌(CR)>连续灭菌回灌(CSR)。在连续回灌条件下,E2、EE2和BPA的衰减速率常数分别为0.0783,0.0505,0.0479 m~(-1);总去除率为98%、96%和92%,其去除率受温度影响。土柱微生物的分析结果表明:土柱下层微生物群落结构的多样性明显高于上层。主要微生物群落为变形菌属,包括α、β变形菌,其对EDCs的降解起主要作用。     

松花江流域某自来水厂中内分泌干扰物的调查

利用固相萃取-高效液相色谱法调查了松花江流域某自来水厂原水、传统净水工艺各处理单元出水及管网水中的13种内分泌干扰物(EDCs).结果表明,固醇类雌激素物质除管网水中未检出外,其他各水样均有检出,浓度为4-44 ng·L-1;4种邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)、双酚A(BPA)及3种烷基酚(APs)在各水样中几乎100%检出,浓度为2～163 760 ng·L-1,其中以邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(DBP)与邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(DEHP)为主.研究还发现,尽管有个别EDCs出水浓度高于进水浓度,但混凝沉淀工艺对EDCs的去除在该水厂中占主导作用,平均去除率为63%;砂滤与氯消毒工艺出水不稳定,只能对部分EDCs起到一定程度去除作用.此外,出厂水经管网输送后其中的绝大多数EDCs含量升高,说明进入管网水中的EDCs除水源水污染外,还有一个重要途径就是输水管材中相应污染物的渗析.     

广州市流溪河水体中6种内分泌干扰素时空分布特征与环境风险

以雌酮(E1)、雌二醇(E2)、双酚A(BPA)、壬基酚(4-NP)、辛基酚(4-t-OP)和三氯生(TCS)这6种内分泌干扰物(endocrine disrupting chemicals,EDCs)为对象,研究其在广州市流溪河水体中的时空分布特征,并对其雌激素活性进行风险评价.结果表明,14个监测点均有EDCs检出,总范围在26.07~7 109.5 ng·L-1,以4-NP贡献最高(78.62%),其次为BPA(11.91%),其他4种目标物浓度均较低(≤4.92%).时空变化上,EDCs浓度从上游至下游逐渐增加,尤其是下游支流中EDC浓度偏高;丰水期4-NP、4-t-OP浓度显著高于枯水期(P0.05),而E1、E2、BPA则呈相反趋势.相关性分析显示,DO与6种EDCs浓度变化呈显著负相关,高锰酸盐指数、EC、TN、TP、NH+4-N与E1、E2、BPA、TCS呈显著正相关,而与4-NP相关性不显著(P0.05),说明E1、E2、BPA、TCS可能与氮、磷营养盐污染同源.冗余分析(redundancy analysis,RDA)显示,流溪河水体中EDCs的季节性变化比空间变化更为明显(RDA1 56.14%RDA2 14.20%),丰水期水体中EDCs浓度变化主要受4-NP影响,而枯水期则主要受BPA影响.与世界范围内水体中EDCs浓度相比,流溪河中下游河段4-NP、BPA和TCS浓度处于较高水平,其他3种目标物处于中低水平.风险评价结果显示,流溪河中下游河段风险熵值RQ值均大于1,说明该区域具有高雌激素活性风险.     

Competitive sorption between 17α-ethinyl estradiol and bisphenol A/4-n-nonylphenol by soils

The sorption of 17α-ethinyl estradiol(EE2),bisphenol A(BPA),and 4-n-nonylphenol(NP) in single systems and the sorption of EE2 with different initial aqueous concentrations of BPA or NP were examined using three soils.Results showed that all sorption isotherms were nonlinear and fit the Freundlich model.The degree of nonlinearity was in the order BPA(0.537-0.686) > EE2(0.705-0.858) > NP(0.875-0.0.951) in single systems.The isotherm linearity index of EE2 sorption calculated by the Freundlich model for Loam,Silt Loam and Silt increased from 0.758,0.705 and 0.858,to 0.889,0.910 and 0.969,respectively,when BPA concentration increased from 0 to 1000 μg/L,but the effect of NP was comparably minimal.Additionally,EE2 significantly suppressed the sorption of BPA,but insignificantly suppressed that of NP.These findings can be attributed to the difference of sorption affinity of EE2,NP and BPA on the hard carbon(e.g.,black carbon) of soil organic matter that dominated the sorption in the low equilibrium aqueous concentration range of endocrine-disrupting chemicals(EDCs).Competitive sorption among EDCs presents new challenges for predicting the transport and fate of EDCs under the influence of co-solutes.     

环境内分泌干扰物在人工湿地中的去除研究

考查了水平潜流人工湿地对城市生活污水中的8种内分泌干扰物去除效果。结果表明:在水力负荷为0.17m/d,水力停留时间为4.6 d情况下,水平潜流人工湿地对雌激素酮(E1)、雌激素三醇(E3)、双酚A(BPA)、辛基酚(OP)、17β-雌二醇(E2)、17a-雌二醇(17a-E2)、17α-乙炔基雌二醇(EE2)的平均去除率分别为81.4%、39.3%、73.9%、44.1%、69.7%、82.2%、65.2%。其中,4-正壬基酚(4-n-NP)在湿地出水中未检测到。人工湿地中内分泌干扰物去除效果沿程变化结果表明,湿地前段对内分泌干扰物的去除效果优于后段,说明人工湿地前段微生物的降解更有效。     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.

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.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.     

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a 3-chlorobenzoate degrading bacteria

A study was conducted to compare the diversity of 2-, 3-, and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders in two pristine soils and one contaminated sewage sludge. These samples contained strikingly different populations of mono-chlorobenzoate degraders. Although fewer cultures were isolated in the uncontaminated soils than contaminated one, the ability of microbial populations to mineralize chlorobenzoate was widespread. The 3- and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders were more diverse than the 2-chlorobenzoate degraders. One of the strains isolated from the sewage sludge was obtained. Based on its phenotype, chemotaxonomic properties and 16S rRNA gene, the organism S-7 was classified as Rhodococcus erythropolis. The strain can grow at temperature from 4 to 37℃. It can utilize several （halo）aromatic compounds. Moreover, strain S-7 can grow and use 3-chlorobenzoate as sole carbon source in a temperatures range of 10-30℃ with stoichiometric release of chloride ions. The psychrotolerant ability was significant for bioremediation in low temperature regions. Catechol and chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase activities were present in cell free extracts of the strain, but no （chloro）catechol 2,3- dioxygenase activities was detected. Spectral conversion assays with extracts from R. erythropolis S-7 showed accumulation of a compound with a similar UV spectrum as chloro-cis,cis-muconate from 3-chlorobenzoate. On the basis of these results, we proposed that S-7 degraded 3-chlorobenzoate through the modified ortho-cleave pathway.     

Alterations of organ histopathology and metallolhionein mRNA expression in silver barb, Puntius gonionotus during subchronic cadmium exposure

Common silver barb,Puntius gonionotus,exposed to the nominal concentration of 0.06 mg/L Cd for 60 d,were assessed for histopathological alterations(gills,liver and kidney),metal accumulation,and metallothionein(MT)mRNA expression.Fish exhibited pathological symptoms such as hypertrophy and hyperplasia of primary and secondary gill lamellae,vacuolization in hepatocytes,and prominent tubular and glomerular damage in the kidney.In addition,kidney accumulated the highest content of cadmium,more than gills and liver.Expression of MT mRNA was increased in both liver and kidney of treated fish.Hepatic MT levels remained high after fish were removed to Cd-free water.In contrast,MT expression in kidney was peaked after 28 d of treatment and drastically dropped when fish were removed to Cd-free water.The high concentrations of Cd in hepatic tissues indicated an accumulation site or permanent damage on this tissue.     

Sorption of 1-naphthol by plant cuticular fractions

The contribution of aliphatic-rich plant biopolymer to sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds is significantly important because of their preservation and accumulation in the soil environment,but sorption mechanism is still not fully understood.In this study, sorption of 1-naphthol by plant cuticular fractions was examined to better understand the contributions of respective fraction.Toward this end,cuticular materials were isolated from the fruits of tomato by chemical method.The tomato cuticle sheet consisted of waxes (6.5 wt%),cuticular monomer (69.5 wt%),and polysaccharide (24.0 wt%).Isotherms of l-naphthol to the cuticular fractions were nonlinear (N value (0.82-0.90)) at the whole tested concentration ranges.The KodKow ratios for bulk cuticle (TC1),dewaxed cuticle (TC2),cutin (TC4),and desugared cuticle (TC5) were larger than unity,suggested that tomato bulk cuticle and cutin are much powerful solption medium.Sorption capability of cutin (TC4) was 2.4 times higher than the nonsaponifiable fraction (TC3).The 1-naphthol interactions with tomato cuticular materials were governed by both hydrophobic-type interactions and polar (H-bonding) interactions. Removal of the wax and polysaccharide materials from the bulk tomato cuticle caused a significant increase in the sorption ability of the cuticular material.There was a linear negative trend between K_(oc) values and the amount of polysaccharides or fraction's polarities ((N O)/C);while a linear positive relationship between K_(oc) values and the content of cutin monomer (linear R~2=0.993) was observed for present in the cuticular fractions.Predominant sorbent of the hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in the plant cuticular fraction was the cutin monomer,contributing to 91.7% of the total sorption of tomato bulk cuticle.     

Seed selections for crystallization of calcium phosphate for phosphorus recovery

Seed induces and promotes the crystallization of calcium phosphate, and acts as carrier of the recovered phosphorus （P）. In order to select suitable seed for P recovery from wastewater, three seeds including Apatite （AP）, Juraperle （JP） and phosphate-modified Juraperle （M-JP） were tested and compared. Batch and fixed-bed column experiments of seeded crystallization of calcium phosphate were undertaken by using synthetic wastewater with 10 mg/L P phosphate. It shows that AP has bad enduring property in the crystallization process, while JP has better performance for multiple uses, and M-JP is a hopeful seed for P recovery by crystallization of calcium phosphate.
