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.     

珠江三角洲4种代表性土壤/沉积物中自由态与结合态有机氯农药的含量与分布特征

有机氯农药在土壤/沉积物中主要以自由态和结合态存在.本研究选取珠江三角洲地区4种代表不同沉积环境的典型土壤/沉积物样品,先采用碱萃取、盐酸/氢氟酸去矿物等方法对样品进行了组分分离,再采用有机溶剂萃取法对不同组分中自由态和结合态有机氯农药进行了系统分析.结果显示,4种土壤/沉积物总有机氯农药含量为20.96～134.22 μg·kg^-1,其中HCHs总含量为5.66～22.87　μg·kg^-1,DDTs总含量为1.51～11.70　μg·kg^-1,β-HCH、七氯、艾氏剂、异狄氏剂、硫丹硫酸盐和甲氧滴滴涕等6种农药为主要成分,占总有机氯农药的53.56%～77.26%.自由态有机氯农药含量为8.46～88.45　μg·kg^-1,占总有机氯农药的40.37%～65.90%.结合态有机氯农药含量为11.46～45.77　μg·kg^-1,占总有机氯农药的34.10%～59.63%,主要存在于土壤/沉积物的腐殖酸和胡敏素组分,反映了环境中结合态有机氯农药的大量存在.自由态DDT和HCH类有机氯农药的分布情况表明,4种样品均没有新鲜HCH类农药输入而部分样品仍有新鲜DDT类农药输入.结合态有机氯农药在腐殖酸和胡敏素间的分布与有机质碳含量相关,占总有机碳57.71%～80.55%的胡敏素结合了94.78%～97.48%的结合态有机氯农药.风险评价结果表明,部分游离态有机氯农药如γ-HCH、艾氏剂、异狄氏剂、DDT类农药可能存在一定的生态风险.由于单个化合物的总量要比自由态高出约1～30倍,同时结合态农药在一定条件下有释放到环境的可能,因此有机氯农药的环境风险评价和环境标准建立均需考虑结合态有机氯农药.     

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。

湖南东部地区稻田土壤中有机氯农药残留及分布

2006年3月,在湖南省东部7个地区的城市近郊和工业区附近稻田中多点采集土壤样品,参照EPA8081A标准方法对样品进行处理和分析,以研究20种有机氯农药残留及分布状况.结果表明:稻田土壤中残留的有机氯农药主要为六六六(HCHs)和滴滴涕(DDTs)类,共占有机氯农药残留总量的84.6%,2种污染物残留量均低于《食用农产品产地土壤环境质量指标》(HJ332-2006)限值,其中,w(HCHs)为1.7～25.3 μg/kg,平均值为18.2 μg/kg;w(DDTs)为10.5～40.4 μg/kg,平均值为23.8 μg/kg.残留水平较高的是β-HCH,DDT和DDE,w(β-HCH),w(DDT)和w(DDE)的平均值分别为12.9,11.4和9.8 μg/kg;其他13种农药也不同程度地被检出.同国内外其他地区同类农田土壤相比,该残留量处于中等水平,表明湖南东部地区稻田土壤中六六六和DDT的残留具有一定的生态风险.      

官厅水库周边土壤中有机氯农药残留的统计分布特征

采用气相色谱(GC ECD)分析方法测定了官厅水库周边地区土壤样品中HCH、DDT、七氯、艾氏剂等多种有机氯农药的含量,采用数理统计方法研究了不同土地利用类型、不同采样方位与土壤中有机氯农药含量的关系.结果表明,官厅水库周边地区土壤中总HCH含量为0～19 63ng g-1(中位数0 50ng·g-1),总DDT含量为0～176 01ng·g-1(中位数4 42ng·g-1).其它几种有机氯农药的含量未检出.不同的土地利用类型土壤中HCH和DDT的含量均有显著性差异,不同的官厅水库方位对土壤中HCH和DDT的含量不造成显著影响.     

雷州半岛南部典型农用地土壤-作物的有机氯农药残留特征和健康风险评价

利用气相色谱-质谱法（GC-MS）测定雷州半岛南部典型农用地土壤-作物有机氯农药（OCPs）的残留含量,探究8种作物对有机氯农药的生物富集特征,并进行人体健康风险评价.结果表明,10种OCPs均有不同程度地检出,其中六六六（HCHs）和七氯是研究区主要污染物,在土壤中残留含量分别为23.83～111.51 ng·g^-1和11.01～25.97 ng·g^-1,在作物中分别为7.54～61.28 ng·g^-1和3.96～30.97 ng·g^-1,少部分土壤和作物样品中该两类OCPs存在超标情况.有87.50%土壤样品α-HCH/γ-HCH小于1,且β-HCH/α-HCH大于1,表明HCHs可能来源于近期林丹的使用和历史施用残留污染,而七氯推测主要来源于地下虫害和白蚁防治药剂的施用.不同作物对OCPs的富集能力差异较大,蔬菜类作物的生物富集能力较强,水果类较弱,且鳞茎类蔬菜（韭菜）明显强于其他蔬菜类别.人体健康风险评价表明,土壤与作物中OCPs对区域内人群基本不会造成明显的健康风险.但韭菜和辣椒作物复合污...     

天津地区土壤中六六六(HCH)的残留及分布特征

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.

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.
