典型城市河流表层沉积物中汞污染特征与生态风险 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
以北京市凉水河为研究对象,研究了典型城市河流表层沉积物中汞污染特征与生态风险.采用王水水浴消解法和BCR三步提取法分析沉积物中汞总量及其赋存形态特征,并利用潜在生态风险指数法和风险评估指数法评价汞的生态风险.结果表明,凉水河表层沉积物中总汞含量范围是0.018~3.48 mg·kg~(-1),平均值是0.974 mg·kg~(-1),多数样点高于北京市土壤背景值;表层沉积物中汞主要以残渣态(B4态)存在,平均含量为0.841 mg·kg~(-1),各形态汞所占比例顺序为:残渣态(B4态)可氧化态(B3态)可还原态(B2态)弱酸可溶解态(B1态),其中生物有效态汞占总汞的比例为23.21%.基于汞总量的潜在生态风险评价可知,凉水河各个河段表层沉积物中汞的潜在生态风险程度都处于很高水平(Ei平均值为565);但基于汞形态的生态风险评价可知,汞的生态风险都处于较低水平(B1所占比例平均值为4.80%). 相似文献

松花江沉积物汞的新变化:分布、演化与现状及潜在生态风险评估 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
分析了第二松花江中下游和松花江干流表层沉积物中总汞的含量水平和分布规律,同期采集了牡丹江、黑龙江沉积物作为对照,并采用地累积指数法以及潜在生态风险指数法,初步评价了松花江沉积物中汞的污染状况和潜在的生态风险.结果表明,松花江10个断面沉积物总汞含量范围0.029~1.317 mg·kg~(-1),均值0.183 mg·kg~(-1).第二松花江3个典型断面沉积物总汞含量均显著高于松花江干流的7个典型断面(P0.05).地累积指数(Igeo)及潜在生态风险指数(Er)表明第二松花江3个典型断面沉积物汞污染程度为偏中度至重度污染,存在高度生态风险;松花江干流7个典型断面为轻度污染,具有较高生态风险.近10年松花江沉积物汞含量变化及空间分布结果显示,现阶段第二松花江沉积物汞含量有所下降,但松花江干流个别江段沉积物汞含量有所上升,应引起重视. 相似文献

以国家自然保护区贵州草海湿地为研究对象,系统采集草海湖中深水区和湖边浅水区生长的底栖动物,测定其总汞和甲基汞,探讨底栖动物汞和甲基汞分布特征及其对沉积物汞的响应特征,并评估了其面临的汞污染风险.结果表明,底栖动物总汞含量范围为0.51~46.55 ng·g~(-1)(均值7.82 ng·g~(-1)),甲基汞含量范围为0.04~27.71 ng·g~(-1)(均值4.31 ng·g~(-1)),低于其他自然保护区报道的底栖动物的汞含量.对比发现,夏季底栖动物总汞和甲基汞含量均高于其他季节;湖边点底栖动物总汞和甲基汞含量均高于湖中点同种类底栖动物汞含量,这与沉积物中甲基汞含量的空间分布特征一致,却与沉积物总汞含量空间分布特征相反,且中华圆田螺甲基汞含量与沉积物甲基汞含量呈显著相关(r=0.52,P0.05),表明湖边浅水区沉积物汞的甲基化程度、生物可利用性都明显高于湖中深水区.湖中湖边沉积物有机质的含量差异以及湖边沉积物存在干湿交替可能导致了这种明显的差异.底栖动物对水体或沉积物总汞和甲基汞的富集系数均较高,这些高富集系数足以引起对草海湿地水生食物链中汞污染风险的重视. 相似文献

唐山陡河水库沉积物汞的分布、来源及污染评价 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
为弄清陡河燃煤电厂大气汞沉降对毗邻的陡河水库沉积物中总汞、甲基汞的贡献及其污染程度,于2013年8月对陡河水库沉积物进行了采样,测定了沉积物中总汞、甲基汞、有机质以及孔隙水中溶解态汞含量等参数,运用地累积指数法评价了陡河水库沉积物的汞污染现状和污染程度.结果表明,陡河水库沉积物中总汞含量(dw)范围为19~97 ng·g~(-1),甲基汞含量(dw)范围为0.02~1.27 ng·g~(-1),均表现为表层高于底层,说明陡河水库沉积物的汞含量正逐年升高,外源汞输入对陡河沉积物负荷产生了一定的影响.受电厂大气汞干湿沉降影响,陡河水库周边土壤汞含量(dw)平均值为22 ng·g~(-1),而陡河水库3个沉积物柱库心总汞含量最高,其次为西支,东支最低.结合上游大黑汀水库较高的沉积物汞含量(总汞平均值为176 ng·g~(-1)),以及陡河水库附近较低的土壤汞含量,初步判断陡河水库沉积物中汞的主要来源为大黑汀水库的高汞水源输入,电厂汞沉积输入贡献相对较小.陡河沉积物总汞、甲基汞与有机质之间均呈显著的正相关关系,表明沉积物中有机质具有较好的吸附总汞和甲基汞的能力,并对甲基汞产生具有重要作用.地累积指数Igeo的评价结果表明,陡河水库各点位沉积物的汞污染程度依次为库心西支东支,库心和西支属于中度污染,东支属于轻微污染.大黑汀水库受周边采矿企业影响,两个采样点沉积物的地累积指数污染评价属于中强污染和强污染. 相似文献

广州南沙红树林湿地水体和沉积物中有机氯农药的残留特征 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
红树林湿地对保护海岸生态环境起着重要作用,为研究有机氯农药(OCPs)在广州南沙红树林湿地水体和沉积物中的残留水平、来源和生态风险,于2015年3月采集该地区10个表层水体样品和7个表层沉积物样品,并采用GC-ECD测定其中OCPs的含量.结果表明,水体中OCPs含量为1.89~90.19 ng·L~(-1),平均值为30.16 ng·L~(-1);沉积物中OCPs含量为3.10~16.02 ng·g~(-1),平均值为8.58 ng·g~(-1).与其他河口、海湾地区相比,研究区有机氯农药污染处于中等水平.研究区水体和沉积物间HCHs和DDTs的分配系数平均值分别为857和368;在分配系数较高的区域,沉积物成为水体二次污染源的潜力较大.来源分析表明,研究区水体和沉积物中近期仍存在HCHs和DDTs输入,HCHs主要来源于林丹的使用,DDTs来源于三氯杀螨醇与工业DDT的混合输入;与水体相比,沉积物中的OCPs可能包含更多历史残留组分.风险评价结果显示,水体中OCPs的生态风险较小,但沉积物中OCPs存在较高的生态风险,可能危害红树林生态系统. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize (Zea mays L.) grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

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. 相似文献

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone (BP 1,6- quinone), trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BP 7,8-diol), 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene (3-OHBP), were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that (1) the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; (2) the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; (3) the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% (w/v), concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites. 相似文献

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter. 相似文献

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
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. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the
Taihu Lake region, China 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

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. 相似文献

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. 相似文献
