Metabolism of carbaryl and carbofuran in soil planted to rice

In greenhouse experiments carbaryl and carbofuran disappeared more rapidly from a soil planted to rice than from an unplanted soil under both flooded and non-flooded (60% water-holding capacity) conditions. The rate of degradation was little affected by the moisture regime. The degradation of both carbamate insecticides proceeded essentially by hydrolysis. Further degradation of the hydrolysis products, 1-naphthol from carbaryl and 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-ol from carbofuran was slow in both planted and unplanted systems. A significant portion (20–38%) of the ring ¹⁴C in carbaryl and carbofuran accumulated in the soil as the respective hydrolysis products + soil-bound residues. Evolution of ¹⁴CO₂ from the ¹⁴C (from both side chain and ring labels) in carbaryl and carbofuran was negligible even in soil planted to rice.     

Accelerated microbial breakdown of carbofuran in soil from previously treated fields

Microbial degradation of carbofuran was rapid in acid mineral soil collected from fields in Prince Edward island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario with a history of use of this insecticide and with pH ranging from 6.1 to 6.6. Concentrations of carbofuran ranging from 10 to 5000 ppm (μg active ingredient per g of over-dry-soil) degraded to levels not detectable by bioassay (< 0.2 ppm) in less than 1 day at 10 ppm, to in about 90 days at 5000 ppm. Concentrations of 200, 300 and 500 ppm of 10% carbofuran granules degraded almost as quickly as a 100-ppm application, but 1000, 2000 and 5000 ppm degraded more slowly. Soil from fields with a natural pH lower than 5.8 have not shown any evidence of rapid microbial breakdown of carbofuran.     

土壤中嗪草酮迁移和降解的研究

 通过两季马铃薯大田试验，研究了嗪草酮在灌溉沙壤土中的消失和移动情况。结果表明，表层土壤中，嗪草酮施用后最初7～15天内其含量急剧降低，此后随时间推移降低幅度平缓，1993年和1994年试验结束时的残留量分别为5.9μg/kg和2.3μg/kg。两年共采集的379个土样（分布在15～75cm各土层）中只有5个检测到有嗪草酮。1994年大田135cm土层处的水样中，嗪草酮的检测率高达66％，检测浓度范围为0.06～15.85μg/kg，平均浓度为1.94μg/kg。相比较，嗪草酮在大田试验中的消失速率远大于实验室控制条件下的降解速率。     

添加生物炭对西北黄土吸附克百威的影响

研究了不同温度下制得的生物炭对西北黄土吸附农药克百威的影响,并对溶液p H值和初始浓度对吸附的影响进行了探讨.结果表明,克百威在添加生物炭黄土上的动力学吸附过程较好地符合准二级吸附动力学模型;热力学吸附较好地符合Freundlich等温吸附模型;随着系统温度的升高,添加生物炭的黄土对克百威的吸附量增大,且其对克百威的吸附自由能变(ΔGθ)小于0,吸附焓变(ΔHθ)及吸附熵变(ΔSθ)均大于0,表明吸附是一个自发吸热且体系混乱程度增大的等温吸附过程.溶液p H值和克百威的初始浓度对添加生物炭的土样吸附影响较明显.当p H值为4~7时,添加生物炭的土样饱和吸附量随p H升高呈缓慢降低,当p H值大于7时,吸附容量随p H升高呈明显降低趋势.克百威初始浓度从20 mg·L-1增至50 mg·L-1的过程中,吸附量快速上升,初始浓度大于50 mg·L-1时,吸附量随初始浓度的升高而缓慢增加并逐渐趋于平衡.     

Movement and degradation of aldicarb residues in South Carolina loamy sand soil

The movement and degradation of aldicarb (2-methyl-2-(methylthio)propionaldehyde O-(methylcarbamoyl)oxime) residues was measured in a Dotham loamy sand soil in Barnwell County in southern South Carolina. The experiment was designed to compare movement in a fallow plot versus a soya bean plot and to compare residue results from soil suction lysimeters and soil samples. The soil sample data indicate that aldicarb degraded at a rate corresponding to a half life of approximately 9 days with essentially no residues present 4 months after application. This degradation rate is faster than the 14–39-day half-life measured in nearby states. Because this relatively rapid degradation rate generally constrained residue movement to the upper 0.3 m in both plots (resulting in no significant residues in the lysimeters and monitoring wells), comparison between data from soil cores and suction lysimeters was not possible and the reduced evapotranspiration in the fallow plot had little effect on residue movement. Simulations using the unsaturated zone model PRZM with rainfall records from 15 years were used to illustrate that aldicarb residues should be limited to the upper 1.5 m, regardless of year-to-year variations in rainfall.     

Purified terephthalic acid wastewater biodegradation and toxicity

The biodegradation and toxicity of the purified terephthalic acid（PTA） processing wastewater was researched at NJYZ pilot with the fusant strain Fhhh in the carrier activated sludge process（ CASP）. Sludge loading rate（SLR） for Fhhh to COD of the wastewater was 1.09 d^-1 and to PTA in the wastewater was 0.29 d^-1. The results of bioassay at the pilot and calculation with software Ebis3 showed that the 48h-LC50 （median lethal concentration） to Daphnia magna for the PTA concentration in the wastewater was only 1/10 of that for the chemical PTA. There were .5 kinds of benzoate pollutants and their toxicities existing in the wastewater at least. The toxicity parameter value of the pure chemical PTA cannot be used to predicate the PTA wastewater toxicity. The toxicity of the NJYZ PTA wastewater will be discussed in detail in this paper.

Bioavailability and toxicity of cadmium to microorganisms and their activities in soil: a review

Significant quantities of cadmium (Cd) have been added to the soils globally due to various anthropogenic activities, raising concerns for environmental health. Microorganisms play a unique role in the soil ecosystem, because of their contributions to soil fertility. Contrasting trends, reported on the toxic effects of heavy metals including Cd on soil microorganisms and their activities, are attributable to short-term studies often limited to a single soil type and conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. There is a paucity of reliable field data on Cd alone, since most field studies on Cd-microorganism interactions in soils are based on sewage sludge containing multimetals and organic substances. No single parameter can be used to generalize Cd toxicity and different parameters can provide contrasting results. A battery of relevant tests, rather than just one single assay, involving important microbial activities should therefore be included in ecotoxicity studies. The bioavailability of Cd and associated toxicity to soil biota vary with time, soil type, speciation, ageing, Cd-source, organisms and the environmental factors. The available fraction or soil solution Cd, and not the total concentration of Cd, seems to correlate well with the toxicity parameters.     

Molecular toxicity of earthworms induced by cadmium contaminated soil and biomarkers screening

Earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were used to study the impact of low-dose cadmium in treated artificial soil (0, 0.6, 3, 6, 15, 30 mg/kg) and contaminated natural soil (1.46 mg/kg). The changes of earthworms' physiological related gene expressions of metallothionein (MT), annetocin, calreticulin and antimicrobial peptides were detected using real-time PCR after a 70-day incubation period. The results showed that low doses of cadmium could up regulate earthworms' MT and down regulate annetocin gene expression and show a significant positive and negative correlation respectively. The expression of two other genes, calreticulin and anti-microbial peptides, was induced at low doses of cadmium (highest gene expression at 0.6 mg/kg for calreticulin and 6 mg/kg for anti-microbial peptides) and inhibited at high doses. No significant correlation was found for these two genes. This study shows that MT and annetocin genes expression found in earthworms in contaminated soil have the potential to be developed as biomarkers of soil cadmium pollution.

磺胺间甲氧嘧啶-镉复合污染对作物种子发芽的影响

测定了黄潮土中常用兽药磺胺间甲氧嘧啶(SMM)与重金属镉(Cd)单一及复合污染对小麦和西红柿种子发芽(根伸长、芽伸长和发芽率)的影响,分析了土壤中药物浓度与作物生长抑制的剂量-效应关系及复合污染的毒性效应.结果表明,在单一污染物作用下,根伸长抑制率和芽伸长抑制率与药物浓度显著相关(P0.05);药物对根伸长及芽伸长的抑制高于对种子发芽的抑制;SMM对2种作物的毒性效应明显强于Cd,SMM对小麦和西红柿根伸长的IC50(抑制率为50%时污染物浓度)分别为33.7,49.3mg/kg,而Cd为507.3,599.8mg/kg.SMM和Cd复合污染时,在低Cd(200mg/kg)的胁迫下,联合作用主要体现为协同作用,但随着SMM浓度的增加,协同效应不显著(P>0.05);在高Cd(500mg/kg)作用下,二者的联合效应中Cd起主要作用.

Study on the toxicity of acid rain to microbiota in soils

With simulated acid rain and acidification, the soils from both Nanning and Liuzhou municipalities, Guangxi Zhuang Nationality Autonomous Region have been studied to determine the counts of azotobacter, bacteria, actinomyces and the activity of urease in soils, and the changes in respiratory intensity of soil so as to identify the toxicity of acidic substances to microbiota and enzyme in such soils. The concept of the critical pH of toxicity has been developed and used to discuss the representation of the concept, the basis on which the soil treated with simulated acid rain can be taken as an object of study, and the criteria for the identification of toxicity. Based on that as mentioned above, it was found that acid rain behaved to have toxicity to the microbiota in soils from Liuzhou other than from Nanning. The findings may be regarded as an objective basis to study the toxicity of acidic substances to microbiota and enzyme in soils in this region.
