Background, aim, and scope The adverse environmental impacts of chlorinated hydrocarbons on the Earth’s ozone layer have focused attention on the effort
to replace these compounds by nonchlorinated substitutes with environmental acceptability. Hydrofluoroethers (HFEs) and fluorinated
alcohols are currently being introduced in many applications for this purpose. Nevertheless, the presence of a great number
of C–F bonds drives to atmospheric long-lived compounds with infrared absorption features. Thus, it is necessary to improve
our knowledge about lifetimes and global warming potentials (GWP) for these compounds in order to get a complete evaluation
of their environmental impact. Tropospheric degradation is expected to be initiated mainly by OH reactions in the gas phase.
Nevertheless, Cl atoms reaction may also be important since rate constants are generally larger than those of OH. In the present
work, we report the results obtained in the study of the reactions of Cl radicals with HFE-7000 (CF 3CF 2CF 2OCH 3) (1) and its isomer CF 3CF 2CF 2CH 2OH (2).
Materials and methods Kinetic rate coefficients with Cl atoms have been measured using the discharge flow tube–mass spectrometric technique at 1 Torr
of total pressure. The reactions of these chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) substitutes have been studied under pseudo-first-order
kinetic conditions in excess of the fluorinated compounds over Cl atoms. The temperature ranges were 266–333 and 298–353 K
for reactions of HFE-7000 and CF 3CF 2CF 2CH 2OH, respectively.
Results The measured room temperature rate constants were k(Cl+CF 3CF 2CF 2OCH 3) = (1.24 ± 0.28) × 10 −13 cm 3 molecule −1 s −1and k(Cl+CF 3CF 2CF 2CH 2OH) = (8.35 ± 1.63) × 10 −13 cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 (errors are 2 σ + 10% to cover systematic errors). The Arrhenius expression for reaction 1 was k
1(266–333 K) = (6.1 ± 3.8) × 10 −13exp[−(445 ± 186)/ T] cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 and k
2(298–353 K) = (1.9 ± 0.7) × 10 −12exp[−(244 ± 125)/ T] cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 (errors are 2 σ). The reactions are reported to proceed through the abstraction of an H atom to form HCl and the corresponding halo-alkyl
radical. At 298 K and 1 Torr, yields on HCl of 0.95 ± 0.38 and 0.97 ± 0.16 (errors are 2 σ) were obtained for CF 3CF 2CF 2OCH 3 and CF 3CF 2CF 2CH 2OH, respectively.
Discussion The obtained kinetic rate constants are related to the previous data in the literature, showing a good agreement taking into
account the error limits. Comparing the obtained results at room temperature, k
1 and k
2, HFE-7000 is significantly less reactive than its isomer C 3F 7CH 2OH. A similar behavior has been reported for the reactions of other fluorinated alcohols and their isomeric fluorinated ethers
with Cl atoms. Literature data, together with the results reported in this work, show that, for both fluorinated ethers and
alcohols, the kinetic rate constant may be considered as not dependent on the number of –CF 2– in the perfluorinated chain. This result may be useful since it is possible to obtain the required physicochemical properties
for a given application by changing the number of –CF 2– without changes in the atmospheric reactivity. Furthermore, lifetimes estimations for these CFCs substitutes are calculated
and discussed. The average estimated Cl lifetimes are 256 and 38 years for HFE-7000 and C 3H 7CH 2OH, respectively.
Conclusions The studied CFCs’ substitutes are relatively short-lived and OH reaction constitutes their main reactive sink. The average
contribution of Cl reactions to global lifetime is about 2% in both cases. Nevertheless, under local conditions as in the
marine boundary layer, τ
Cl values as low as 2.5 and 0.4 years for HFE-7000 and C 3H 7CH 2OH, respectively, are expected, showing that the contribution of Cl to the atmospheric degradation of these CFCs substitutes
under such conditions may constitute a relevant sink. In the case of CF 3CF 2CF 2OCH 3, significant activation energy has been measured, thus the use of kinetic rate coefficient only at room temperature would
result in underestimations of lifetimes and GWPs.
Recommendations and perspectives The results obtained in this work may be helpful within the database used in the modeling studies of coastal areas. The knowledge
of the atmospheric behavior and the structure–reactivity relationship discussed in this work may also contribute to the development
of new environmentally acceptable chemicals. New volatile materials susceptible of emission to the troposphere should be subject
to the study of their reactions with OH and Cl in the range of temperature of the troposphere. The knowledge of the temperature
dependence of the kinetic rate constants, as it is now reported for the case of reactions 1 and 2, will allow more accurate
lifetimes and related magnitudes like GWPs. Nevertheless, a better knowledge of the vertical Cl tropospheric distribution
is still required. 相似文献

Competitive adsorption of As(V) and Sb(V) at environmentally relevant concentrations onto ferrihydrite was investigated. Batch experiments and XPS analyses confirmed that in a binary system, the presence of Sb(V) exhibited a slight synergistic effect on As(V) adsorption. XPS analyses showed that As(V) and Sb(V) adsorption led to obvious diminishment of Fe–O–Fe and Fe–O–H bonds respectively. At pH of 9, a more significant decrease of Fe–O–Fe was observed in the binary system than that in a single system, indicating that As(V) displayed an even stronger interaction with lattice oxygen atoms under competitive conditions. Basically, ionic strength demonstrated a negligible or positive influence on As(V) and Sb(V) adsorption in binary system. Study of adsorption sequence also indicated that the presence of Sb(V) showed a promotion effect on As(V) adsorption at neutral pHs. Considering that co-contamination of As and Sb in waters has been of great concern throughout the world, our findings contributed to a better understanding of their distribution, mobility, and fate in environment. 相似文献

The n-octanol/water partition coefficient (K(ow)) is commonly used to predict the soil or aquatic particle water partition coefficient normalized to organic carbon (K(oc)). Many correlations are available covering several chemical classes and ranges of hydrophobicity. This work indicates the K(ow) may not be a strong predictor for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which are defined here as chemicals with logK(ow) > 5.0. In addition, the correlation developed in this work for POPs will still result in a predicted value which is of by a factor of 15. Accordingly, care must be taken when applying K(oc) estimations using K(ow) for POPs until more suitable correlations are developed. 相似文献

Gas phase reaction of CHClF(2) with CH(3)Br in an alumina tube reactor at 773-1123 K as a function of various input ratios of CH(3)Br to CHClF(2) is presented. The major products detected include C(2)F(4), CH(2)CF(2), and CH(4). Minor products include CH(3)Cl, CHF(3), C(2)H(4), C(2)H(2), CH(2)CF-CF(3), and C(2)H(3)F. The reaction produces a high yield of CH(2)CF(2) (53% based on CHClF(2) feed) at 1123 K and an input molar ratio of CH(3)Br to CHClF(2) of 1.8, suggesting that the reaction potentially can be developed as a process to convert two ozone depleting substances (CHClF(2) and CH(3)Br) to a highly valuable chemical, CH(2)CF(2). The reaction of CHClF(2) with CH(3)Cl and CH(3)I was also investigated under similar reaction conditions, to assist in understanding the reaction chemistry involved in the reaction of CHClF(2) with CH(3)Br. 相似文献

Azinphos-methyl, carbaryl, dimethoate, phosmet and phosalone were used in apple orchards to manage apple aphid, apple maggot, woolly apple aphid and leaf eating caterpillars. Among the five insecticides evaluated, dimethoate, carbaryl and azinphosmethyl were the most toxic to the nymphs and adults of Hyaliodes vitripennis (Say) from two regions. Phosalone was the least toxic. Nymphs were more resistant than the adults. While the LC50 for dimethoate was 130 ppm for nymphs, it was 3 ppm for adults from St. Jean-Baptiste-de-Rouville. There were also significant differences in the level of resistance between the two regions where the H. vitripennis were collected. At St. Alexandre the LC50 for phosalone on nymphs was 19,250 ppm whereas, at St. Jean-Baptiste-de-Rouville it was 160,000 ppm. 相似文献

BACKGROUND, AIMS AND SCOPE: Composting facilities are known to release odorous volatiles due to biodegradation of municipal waste and plant residues. Although odour perception and its grading is influenced by experience, attitude and adaptation, these emissions have created a lack of acceptance for residents in the vicinity of composting facilities. Enclosure of compost pile halls, ventilation systems and biofilters are often insufficient to minimise the burden of compost-derived compounds in the air. Moreover, economic considerations forced smaller communities to establish less sophisticated facilities with open storage areas and other relevant sources for wind-borne dispersal of bioaerosols. Aim of the present study was to characterise the immission and dispersal of microbial volatiles (MVOC) and, besides, to find coincidences between MVOC and compost odour. METHODS: In the course of this study, the surroundings of two composting facilities, differing in their type of process engineering, were investigated for emission of volatiles in the environment. Both microbially and plant-derived substances were assessed, several of which have low odour thresholds. Air samples were taken in distances ranging from 50 to 800 m in a downwind direction from each facility. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Compost-derived and microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC) were found at distances of up to 800 m from the composting facilities. Terpenes like alpha-pinene, camphene and camphor were the dominant compounds and coincided with typical compost odour, whereas several typical MVOC were not found at greater distances. The terpenes in combination with certain MVOC may play an important role in the perception of compost odour. Exposure concentrations were not of toxicological relevance, but sensory irritation and psychohygienic effects due to an annoyance potential of such compounds should not be dismissed. RECOMMENDATIONS AND OUTLOOK: Although terpenes are generally associated with pleasant odour characteristics, they seemed to contribute to malodours in a mixture with other VOC, in this context of volatile waste from compost facilities. Malodorous emissions from biowaste have to be considered as sources of health complaints and the investigation of mixtures of compost-derived volatiles is still inevitable. Exposure levels have to be discussed taking VOC mixtures into account. Within composting facilities, technical devices have to be improved to minimise dispersal of volatiles to prevent residents from immissions eventually causing health complaints. 相似文献

Background, Aim and Scope
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are important environmental contaminants which may lead to increased levels of neoplastic
aberrations or tumours in fish liver. Therefore, monitoring of PAH and their effects are part of several international environmental
programmes. The aim of the present field study was to investigate the concentrations of the PAH metabolites in fish bile,
to elucidate spatial, seasonal and species differences as well as to discuss different strategies of normalisation with regard
to environmental monitoring.
Materials and Methods:
PAH metabolites were determined in the bile fluid of dab (Limanda limanda) and flounder (Platichthys flesus) caught in the
North Sea and Baltic Sea between 1997 and 2004. After enzymatic deconjugation, two metabolites were determined by means of
HPLC. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification were calculated. The accuracy of the method was tested with a
standard reference material. Results were referred to bile volume as well as to biliverdin.
Results:
The main metabolite, 1-hydroxypyrene, was determined in concentrations from <0.7 to 838 ng/ml in bile of dab (Limanda limanda)
and flounder (Platichthys flesus) caught between 1997 and 2004. The values for 1-hydroxyphenanthrene in fish bile were considerably
lower (<0.4 – 87 ng/ml). Significant differences in the 1-hydroxypyrene levels were found between summer and winter surveys
as well as between the sampling sites in the data set from 2004 (383 dabs and 62 flounders): Highest levels of PAH contamination
were found in dab from the German Bight and in flounder from the Baltic Sea.
Discussion:
Spatial differences in 1-hydroxypyrene concentrations between North Sea and Baltic Sea were discussed, as well as differences
in relation to season, sex and species. Three parameters of normalisation (biliary protein, biliverdin and bile pigments)
were discussed. Biliverdin was identified as a suitable parameter for the normalisation of PAH metabolites in field samples.
Conclusions:
Spatial differences in 1-hydroxypyrene concentrations of dab demonstrate the usefulness of PAH metabolites in fish bile as
a monitoring parameter in marine regions. Significant differences in 1-hydroxypyrene concentrations were found between summer
and winter sampling campaigns. This may be linked to an annual cycle of 1-hydroxyprene in dab. It is also possible that bile
synthesis/release in dab differs between the seasons. There is no indication for a time trend from 1997 to 2004.
Recommendations and Perspectives:
It is recommended to relate PAH metabolites in fish bile to biliverdin concentrations. Although the concentrations are low
in offshore regions and bile volumes are small, the method presented here allows one to measure PAH metabolites on an individual
level which is a crucial prerequisite for meaningful monitoring studies. 相似文献

Chlorination for drinking water forms various disinfection byproducts (DBPs) of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Chlorination has been attributed to the destruction of activated aromatic sites of the natural organic matter (NOM) predominantly at electron rich sites. Experiments with Istanbul surface waters showed that the magnitude of the decrease in the ultraviolet (UV) absorbance at 272 nm (UV 272) was an excellent indicator of destruction of these sites by chlorine. The main objective of the present study is to develop the differential UV 272 absorbance (ΔUV 272) related models for the prediction of the formation of THM, HAA, and their species in raw water samples from Terkos, Buyukcekmece, and Omerli lakes under different chlorination conditions. Significant factors affecting DBP formation in the raw waters were identified through numerical and graphical techniques. The R 2 values of the models varied between 0.94 and 0.97, indicating excellent predictive ability for THM 4 and HAA 9 in the raw waters. The models were validated using additional data. The results of this study concluded that addition of ΔUV 272 parameter into THM 4 and HAA 9 models make the prediction of these DBP compounds more precisely than those of DBP models developed in the past. A better understanding of these modeling systems will help the water treatment plant operators to minimize the DBP formation, providing a healthier and better drinking water quality as well as identifying strategies to improve water treatment and disinfection processes. 相似文献

Selective agrochemicals including herbicides that do not affect non-target organisms such as natural enemies are important in the integrated pest management (IPM) programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the herbicide toxicity, selectivity and hormesis of nicosulfuron, recommended for the corn Zea mays L. (Poaceae) crop, on 10 Trichogrammatidae (Hymenoptera) species. A female of each Trichogramma spp. or Trichogrammatoidea annulata De Santis, 1972 was individually placed in plastic test tubes (no choice) with a cardboard containing 45 flour moth Anagasta ( = Ephestia) kuehniella Zeller, 1879 (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs. Parasitism by these natural enemies was allowed for 48 h and the cardboards were sprayed with the herbicide nicosulfuron at 1.50 L.ha ?1, along with the control (only distilled water). Nicosulfuron reduced the emergence rate of Trichogramma bruni Nagaraja, 1983 females, but increased that of Trichogramma pretiosum Riley, 1879, Trichogramma acacioi Brun, Moraes and Smith, 1984 and T. annulata females. Conversely, this herbicide increased the emergence rate of Trichogramma brasiliensis Ashmead, 1904, T. bruni, Trichogramma galloi Zucchi, 1988 and Trichogramma soaresi Nagaraja, 1983 males and decreased those of T. acacioi, Trichogramma atopovilia Oatman and Platner, 1983 and T. pretiosum males. In addition, nicosulfuron reduced the sex ratio of T. galloi, Trichogramma bennetti Nagaraja and Nagarkatti, 1973 and T. pretiosum and increased that of T. acacioi, T. bruni, T. annulata, Trichogramma demoraesi Nagaraja, 1983, T. soaresi and T. brasiliensis. The herbicide nicosulfuron was “harmless” (class 1, <30% reduction) for females and the sex ratio of all Trichogrammatidae species based on the International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC) classification. The possible hormesis effect of nicosulfuron on Trichogrammatidae species and on the bacterium Wolbachia sp. (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) was also discussed. 相似文献

In December 1990, the World Health Organization (WHO) established a tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 10 pg/kg b.w. (body weight) for TCDD, based on liver toxicity, reproductive effects and immunotoxicity in experimental animals, and making use of kinetic data in humans and experimental animals. Since then new epidemiological and toxicological data have emerged, in particular with respect to neurodevelopmental and endocrine effects of dioxin. Therefore, the European Centre for Environment and Health of the World Health Organization (WHO-ECEH) and the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) jointly organized a consultation on the "Assessment of the health risk of dioxins: re-evaluation of the TDI", May 1998, Geneva, Switzerland. The participants discussed the health risks for infants, cancer and non-cancer endpoints in humans and animals, mechanistic aspects, kinetic behaviour, modelling, exposure, and the applicability of the toxic equivalency (TEQ) concept. For the health risk assessment of dioxin-like compounds, the WHO Consultation focused on the most sensitive effects that are considered adverse (hormonal, reproductive and developmental effects) seen at low doses in animal studies (rats and monkeys). Human daily intakes corresponding with body burdens similar to those associated with adverse effects in animals could be estimated to be in the range of 14-37 pg/kg b.w./day. To arrive at a TDI expressed as TEQ, a composite uncertainty factor of 10 was recommended. By applying this uncertainty factor a TDI range of 1-4 pg TEQs/kg body weight was established. An extensive executive summary of the results of this WHO Consultation with all the underlying background documents will be published in Food Additives and Contaminants (in press). 相似文献

Complications arise when ratios are used to present environmental data because ratios are an unbounded, multiplicative scale that can lead to asymmetrical (skewed) data distributions. Enantiomeric ratios (ERs), historically used in discussions of chiral signatures, often are published as mean ER+/-single-value standard deviation. Application of statistical summaries, such as the widely used sample mean and standard deviation, to skewed ratio data is misleading and often inappropriate. Comparison of statistically summarized ER and enantiomer fraction (EF) data (which are based on a bounded, additive scale) for a range of hypothetical values reveals substantial discrepancies when conversion between ER and EF formats is used. These discrepancies are largest when the ratio data are greater than one and have large variability, because the data are more skewed. In many cases, the use of fractions instead of ratios can help to minimize misrepresentation of environmental data, including chiral data. The use of nonparametric statistical summaries, e.g., median and percentiles, provides a more robust indicator of the typical value and spread for both ER and EF data. 相似文献

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) and dibenzofuran (PCDF) byproducts can be formed in combustion systems by a variety of mechanisms. While total PCDD/F emissions and, to a lesser extent, homologue distributions from incinerators have been found to vary widely depending on combustion conditions, PCDD/F isomer distributions do not. Formation mechanisms can be grouped into two general categories: condensation of precursors, such as chlorinated phenols, and formation from particulate carbon, termed de novo synthesis. In addition to these mechanisms, chlorination and dechlorination reactions may affect isomer patterns. In this work, isomer patterns from field and laboratory municipal waste combustion samples are compared with computed thermodynamic distributions and those from the following experimental investigations: both gas-phase and metal-catalyzed condensation of chlorinated phenols, chlorination of dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran, and dechlorination of octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and octachlorodibenzofuran. PCDD/F isomer patterns produced by different formation mechanisms in controlled experiments are distinct and robust, largely unaffected by combustion conditions. PCDD isomer patterns from municipal waste combustion are most similar to those produced by CuCl(2)-catalyzed phenol condensation from 10 chlorinated phenols. PCDF isomer patterns are most similar to those produced by chlorination and dechlorination. 相似文献

In the present work, the combined impact of four concentrations (0, 0.0625, 0.125, and 0.25 mg/L) of methyl parathion and three densities (0.5 x 10(6), 1.0 x 10(6), and 2.0 x 10(6) cells/mL) of the green alga Chlorella vulgaris on the population growth of Euchlanis dilatata was studied. In general, regardless of the food level, an increase in the concentration of methyl parathion resulted in a significant reduction of the maximal population density and rate of population increase. The population growth rate in the controls ranged from 0.248 to 0.298; rates were lower in the presence of the pesticide. At any toxicant concentration, rotifers fed higher algal density showed significantly higher population growth compared with those at lower food levels. An interaction between toxicant and food level was evident on the population growth of E. dilatata. Results have been discussed in light of the protective role of algal density on the toxic effects of insecticides on rotifers and the differences in susceptibility to toxicants between planktonic and littoral rotifers. 相似文献
