兰州地区DDT的环境多介质迁移和归趋模拟

利用Level Ⅲ逸度模型模拟了稳态假设下DDT在兰州地区大气、水体、土壤和沉积物中的浓度分布.根据模拟结果计算了相间迁移通量.结果表明:农业施用是该区域DDT的主要来源,其主要的迁移过程是气-土沉降、气-水沉降、土壤侵蚀,土壤中降解和大气平流输出,这是DDT从研究区域消失的主要途径.土壤中DDT占总残留量的99.83%.在大气、水体、土壤和沉积物中的浓度分别为2.80×10-11 mol·m-3,2.72×10-7 mol·m-3,2.47×10-3mol·m-3和3.16×10-5mol·m-3.模型计算浓度与同期实测浓度吻合较好,验证了模型的可靠性,并通过灵敏度分析,确定了模型的关键参数.     

DDT in fish from the Bulgarian region of the Black Sea

In spite of a worldwide reduction in the utilization of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), they are still a problem for the aquatic environment and human health. The Black Sea is still being polluted with persistent chemicals, including OCPs. Aquatic organisms (sprat, scad, bluefish, shad, belted bonito, goby, and black mussel) with different feeding behaviours were sampled on a seasonal basis from the Bulgarian region of the Black Sea, and the concentrations of 13 OCP residues were determined. Although many of the OCPs were not detected in the samples, in all samples 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) was present mainly in the form of its metabolites 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDD) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethylene (DDE). Only about 12% of the total DDT was present as the parent compound pp-DDT, which suggests that it was not being used recently in the region. The total DDT concentrations were generally below 150 μg kg^-1 fresh weight, but higher levels—up to 354 μg kg^-1 fresh weight—were also measured for fish species with a high fat content. Between-species differences were observed, even when the concentrations were presented on a fat-level basis. DDT concentrations did not show any significant changes over the 2-yr sampling period. Fish sampled in the northern areas of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast seemed to contain higher DDT levels than those from the southern areas, suggesting a major (historical) influence of the Danube River. For permanent monitoring purposes, the utility of Black Sea gobies and scad should be considered.     

Differential blood counting in fish as a non-destructive biomarker of water contamination exposure

Differential white blood cell counting was performed on blood from the fish species Oreochromis niloticus and was used as an in situ indicator of the species’ exposure to contamination. Ten young fish were collected in an area influenced by the discharge of effluents and from a fish farm (control group). The fish were anesthetized and caudal puncture was used to collect the blood. Differential white blood cell counting was performed, as well as the counting of total leukocytes and thrombocytes (in 2000 cells). Physicochemical parameters of the water from both sites were analyzed. The water from the polluted area was found to have high conductivity and low levels of dissolved oxygen, factors that indicate poor environmental quality. Fish collected from the polluted site presented higher percentages of eosinophils and monocytes and fewer thrombocytes because of exposure to pollution and hypoxic conditions. The differential white blood cell count represents a suitable biomarker of environmental health and provides a tool for biomonitoring water quality.     

不同有机质含量的土壤中DDT对小麦根系的生物有效性

对不同有机质含量的土壤中，分别选用水、正己烷、正己烷／丙酮混合溶剂作为DDT的提取剂，用这3种提取剂逐级连续提取，研究了这3级提取剂所提取的DDT量的差别及其与小麦根吸收的关系。结果表明，有机氯的水提取量随土壤D0c的增加而上升，正己烷提取量随土壤TOC的增加而下降，正己烷／丙酮提取量随土壤TOC的增加而上升。根吸收与水提取量没有确定的关系，但与正己烷提取量具正相关关系，与正己烷／丙酮提取量有负相关关系。     

滴滴涕类农药在广东省鱼类中的残留及人体暴露水平初步评价

检测了采自广东省13个城市水产市场和超市的390个鱼样品中滴滴涕类农药(DDT)及其代谢物(包括o,p’-DDE,p,p’-DDE,o,p’-DDD,p,p’-DDD,o,p’-DDT,p,p’-DDT)的残留浓度.鱼体中DDTs的含量为8.7￣18002ng·g-1(脂肪重)或0.1￣698.9ng·g-1(湿重).不同鱼类之间因生活环境和生活习性的不同,而使其DDTs含量存在较大差别.与我国鱼类食品中DDTs的残留标准相比,仅有2个样品中的DDTs含量水平超过此标准,约占样品总数的0.51%,而超过欧盟水产品标准和美国环境保护局(EPA)标准的样品分别占13.8%和30.5%.广东省居民通过鱼类消费每天DDTs的摄入量为30.8ng·kgbodyweight-1·day-1,仅占FAO/WHO每日允许摄入量的0.3%,但高于其他国家或地区.     

土壤中不同老化时间的DDT对小麦根系的生物有效性

研究了水、正己烷、正己烷/丙酮ASE对土壤中不同老化时间的DDT的逐级提取量的差别及其与小麦根吸收的关系。结果表明,有机氯的水提量随老化时间增加而下降,正己烷提取量随老化时间增加而下降,正己烷/丙酮提取量随老化时间增加而上升。植物根吸收随老化时间增加而下降。根吸收与水提量没有确定关系,与正己烷提取量具正相关关系,与正己烷/丙酮提取量有负相关关系。正己烷提取量可被作为土壤有机氯DDT的有效态部分。     

太湖五里湖背角无齿蚌体内滴滴涕和六六六的残留

作为建立淡水"贝类观察"体系的初步尝试,选定2003年3月采自太湖五里湖水域的背角无齿蚌(Anodonta woodiana)为研究对象,测定其体内滴滴涕(DDT)和六六六(HCH)含量.除β型外,α型、γ型和δ型HCH异构体及p,p'-DDE,o,p'-DDT,p,p'-DDD,p,p'-DDT均在蚌样本中明显检出.∑DDTs湿重含量5.86～14.13 ng·g-1[平均(9.27±3.04) ng·g-1],高于∑HCHs湿重含量2.45～6.46 ng·g-1[平均(4.00±1.22) ng·g-1].p,p'-DDE、p,p'-DDD与α型、γ型HCH异构体分别为∑DDTs和∑HCHs的优势组分,说明太湖五里湖水域目前DDT的污染源可能很少,但存在较明显的新输入HCH.各蚌样的残留水平没有超过农业部、美国食品与药品管理局(FDA)和联合国粮农组织(FAO)颁布的最大限量.     

土壤DDT残留时间的定量表征-以天津为例

从定性研究逐步向定量化分析发展,是土壤DDT残留时间研究的必然趋势。初步探讨了土壤中DDT残留时间的定量表征,设计出归一化的DDT残留时间指数(NRTI)作为定量表征土壤DDT残留时间的方法之一。根据对天津土壤中残留DDT的采样监测结果的计算和分析,发现NRTI在表征DDT的残留时间问题上,相对于传统方法有一定的改进。     

Distribution of Organo-Chlorine Pesticides (DDT and HCH) Between Plant and Soil System

This paper reports a study of the distribution of organo-chlorine pesticides (DDT and HCH) between rice plants and the soil system by spraying before the heading stage at four different dosage levels – control, normal dosage (15 kg ha^–1 of 6% HCH and 7.5 kg ha^–1 of 25% DDT), double dosage and four times dosage. Soil and plant samples were taken respectively at the 1st h, 3rd, 10th, 20th, and 40th day after spraying and at the harvest time. The results indicate that less than 5% of HCH and 15% of DDT were absorbed by the surface of rice leaves for normal dosage. Most of both pesticides moved into the soil in solution after spraying. Compared with DDT, HCH was degraded and run off more easily. HCH residues in the surface soil layer (1–3 cm) were already below 6.4 g kg^–1 at the mature stage, lower than Chinese Environmental Quality Standard for Agricultural Soils: HCH <0.05 mg kg^–1. However DDT residues in the surface soil layer remained 172 g kg^–1, higher than the national standard: DDT <0.05 mg kg^–1. According to the test f OCP residues in rice seeds, it can be concluded that the OCP sprayed onto the surface of rice leaves can move into rice plants and accumulate in the seeds at the mature stage. HCH residues in rice seeds of the double and four times dosage treatments, and DDT residues in all treatments, exceeded the Chinese National Food Standard (HCH <0.10 mg kg^–1, DDT <0.20 mg kg^–1).     

An improved activated carbon method to quantify dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in surface water

Currently, South Africa is designing a strategy for surface water protection involving organic contaminants such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), which is currently used for malaria control in mosquito-infested areas. Here, we demonstrate the successful use of an improved activated carbon technique using dichloromethane instead of chloroform, and slower leaching rate of 15 mL/min to quantify DDT and its metabolites in surface water. The recovery tests for 2,4′DDT, 2,4′DDD, 2,4′DDE, and 4,4′DDT, 4,4′DDD, 4,4′DDE ranged from 75 to 84% and 87 to 96%, respectively (DDE: dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, DDD: dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane). The main advantages of this technique over conventional liquid–liquid extractions are reduced amount of organic solvent, little sample preparation, and larger sample throughput. Because activated charcoal is fairly cheap, the technique can be routinely used to quantify and monitor DDT and its metabolites in surface water samples.     

Classification of occupations at risk in Thailand for lead exposure using blood lead levels as a biomarker

Lead (Pb) exposure is of particular concern because of the ongoing exposure of thousands of workers in industrial plants. Monitoring of Pb exposure among the at-risk workers is recommended and amongst various biomarkers, and it is well-established that blood lead (BPb) determination is utilized for biomonitoring. There are some previous reports on the BPb levels among several at-risk occupations in Thailand; however, there has been no comparison among these occupations with respect to metal levels in the blood. The aim of this study was to correlate at-risk occupations with Pb exposure and BPb levels. In order to compare between occupations, it was not possible to obtain a direct correlation as there are several confounding factors, especially for occupational conditions and lab measurement techniques. In this study, the exposure risk ratio from five previously available reports regarding BPb determination in at-risk occupations in Thailand is presented. Of interest, the high risk occupations are those in which individuals directly inhaled Pb in environmental ambient air. The cutoff median of exposure risk ratio was found to be 12.6 and this may be a useful value in determining whether exposed workers are at high risk in future studies.     

DDT对太湖大银鱼种群危害的生态风险

DDT作为难降解、高脂溶性的污染物,对湖泊水生生态有重要影响。该研究选择太湖大银鱼(Protosalanx hylocranius(Abbott))种群为研究对象,通过分析大银鱼在整个生命周期富集DDT的过程,结合相关的毒理学研究成果,分析DDT富集对大银鱼各生长阶段种群存活率的影响;并在此基础上,应用Lesile矩阵模型分析DDT富集对大银鱼种群规模的影响,研究结果表明,当太湖水体DDT浓度为9.3μg.L-1时,随着DDT在大银鱼体内的富集以及由此导致的毒性效应的影响,大银鱼种群规模在一个生命周期内减少6.39%,其影响较为显著。虽然具体的定量过程受到一些不确定性因素,如水体污染物浓度、剂量-反应关系等的影响,模拟准确度有待进一步提高,但本研究同样也为湖泊水生生态风险的细化提供了有益的尝试。     

沼液贮存及田间施用后大肠菌群的消长动态

以猪场粪污水厌氧发酵产生的沼液为材料,分别在冬春季和夏秋季对其采用加盖和无盖2种方式贮存,定期检测沼液中大肠菌群数量;通过田间生菜种植试验,定期施用大肠菌群数量(以下均以CFU计)分别为104(WF)、105(LF)、106(MF)和107g-1(HF)的沼液,在沼液施用完毕后第3、10、17和24天检测土壤、生菜表面和生菜体内大肠菌群数量。结果表明:夏秋季大肠菌群存活时间较长,沼液无盖贮存可使大肠菌群数量减少。沼液贮存50 d后,除冬春季无盖贮存的沼液中大肠菌群数量达到GB 8978—2002《污水综合排放标准》中三级排放要求,可以排放以外,其他处理均未达到排放要求。沼液中大肠菌群数量越高,经农田施用后土壤中大肠菌群数量越多,生菜表面和体内大肠菌群数量也越高,但随时间延长大肠菌群数量变化略有不同。检测期内,WF处理农田土壤中大肠菌群数量显著低于其他处理;沼液施毕后第3天,WF处理生菜表面及体内大肠菌群数量均显著小于HF和MF处理;24 d时各处理生菜体内大肠菌群数量均检测不到,达到GB 4789.3—2010《食品安全国家标准食品微生物学检验大肠菌群计数》要求,生菜表面大肠菌群数量对数值小于3.51,但未达GB 4789.3—2010要求。     

天津地区鱼塘水、悬浮物、沉积物和鱼体中的DDT

采样测定了天津地区2典型鱼塘鲫鱼、鲢鱼、水、悬浮物、沉积物和鱼塘周边表土中的DDT及其代谢产物含量。结果发现,2鱼塘各主要介质以及鱼体肌肉和器官中都富集了较高浓度的DDT。鲫鱼和鲢鱼肌肉中DDT的含量分别为(66.4±2.7)ng·g-1和(24.3±23.4)ng·g-1。肝胰脏、肠和鱼鳃中DDT含量一般高于肌肉,其中肠的富集量最大,是肌肉的3倍以上。生物富集系数(lgBCF)分别为3.7和3.3。2鱼塘鱼体和各相含量有较大差别,鱼塘介质中悬浮物富集浓度最高。表土污染相对严重地区的鱼塘中各介质和鱼体DDT含量均高于另一污染较轻的鱼塘。污染严重鱼塘的DDE/ΣDDT含量比值也相对较高,反映早期污染残留的重要特征。尽管如此,仍然较高的DDT含量以及悬浮物中很低的DDE/ΣDDT含量比值说明很可能还有污染源存在。     

DDT、苯并[a]芘暴露对阿部鲻虾虎鱼P糖蛋白mRNA表达的影响

建立了阿部鲻虾虎鱼(Mugilogobius abei)P糖蛋白(P-gp)mRNA荧光定量RT-PCR检测方法,利用该检测方法探讨不同时间、不同浓度DDT和苯并[a]芘(BaP)暴露对阿部鲻虾虎鱼P-gp基因表达的影响。结果显示,该检测方法能在低质量浓度污染物(0.01 mg·L-1DDT、0.005 mg·L-1BaP)暴露下检测到P-gp基因表达量的显著变化(P<0.05)。P-gp基因在正常阿部鲻虾虎鱼肌肉、肝脏、心脏、肠、脑组织中均有表达,在鳃、脾组织中没有检测到表达,DDT和BaP能诱导肝脏和脑中P-gp基因表达量升高。2种污染物暴露5 h均可诱导肝脏表达量的显著变化,随着暴露时间延长,表达量均升高,24 h达到较高表达量。低质量浓度DDT和BaP均能诱导肝脏P-gp基因表达,并呈现良好的剂量-效应关系,而高质量浓度均抑制P-gp的表达。DDT和BaP可影响阿部鲻虾虎鱼肝脏P-gp基因表达,其变化可作为生物标志物,来评价化学污染物对水生动物的生物学效应。     

Accumulation, distribution and transformation of DDT and PCBs by Phragmites australis and Oryza sativa L.: I. Whole plant study

Glasshouse experiments were conducted to determine the accumulation, distribution and transformation of o,p′-DDT, p,p′-DDT and PCBs by common reed (Phragmites australis) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) under hydroponic conditions. The culture solution was spiked with the organic pollutants and samples were collected daily. Analysis of the plants at harvest showed that both species had removed DDT and PCBs from the solution. DDT appeared to have accumulated within P. australis by both passive adsorption and active absorption. Both o,p′-DDT and p,p′-DDT were transformed within P. australis. DDD was the major metabolite and the transformation was mediated by reductive dehalogenation. Plant long-distance transportation systems may be involved in the translocation of PCBs within P. australis and the affinity of the PCBs for lipids is one of the major factors affecting their uptake and translocation within the plants. Similar but less pronounced results were found in O. sativa and suggest that these wetland plants may be used for the plant-mediated remediation of persistent organic pollutants.

Cattle egrets as a biosentinels of persistent organic pollutants exposure

We investigated selected chlorinated pollutants (β-HCH, γ-HCH, DDDs, DDEs, o,p′-DDT, p,p′-DDT, heptachlor, aldrin, dieldrin, and endrin) in the Lahore and the Sialkot districts of Pakistan, using eggs of cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) collected during May and June 2007. The pollutant with highest level and frequency was ΣDDT, followed by β-HCH, γ-HCH, heptachlor, aldrin, dieldrin, and endrin in descending order. The concentration(s) were significantly higher in Sialkot heronry for all the pollutants (except p,p′-DDT) than in Lahore. The values for DDTs, β-HCH, γ-HCH, and heptachlor were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the egg(s) than in sediment(s) and in the chicks’ diet, due to biomagnification. Among DDTs analogues, p,p′-DDD was the major contaminant with >60 % of total DDT burden, reflecting the widespread aged as well as recent use of DDT as well as anaerobic degradation (DDD/DDE > 1 in many cases) in the nearby paddy soils. In few samples, p,p′-DDT/(DDD + DDE) > 0.5 suggested the recent emission patterns from surrounding contaminated areas of demolished DDT units and obsolete pesticide stores. The higher levels of HCHs (i.e., β-HCH) in the samples collected from Sialkot indicate exposure from long-term agricultural use. Overall, concentrations of all studied POPs were less than the threshold levels known to affect reproduction. Nevertheless, total DDTs and/or HCHs burdens in some eggs contained concentrations of greater than what would educe adverse effects on birds. This is among few studies on OCPs exposure to avian species, which provide the evidence of Pakistan’s contribution toward the Global POPs emission.
