Over the past decade, ambient air particulate matter (PM) has been clearly associated with adverse health effects. In Brazil, small and poor communities are exposed to indoor dust derived from both natural sources, identified as blowing soil dust, and anthropogenic particles from mining activities. This study investigates the physicochemical and mineralogical composition of indoor PM10 dust samples collected in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and evaluates its cytotoxicity and inflammatory potential. The mean PM10 mass concentration was 206 μg/m3. The high dust concentration in the interior of the residences is strongly related to blowing soil dust. The chemical and mineralogical compositions were determined by ICP-OES and XRD, and the most prominent minerals were clays, Fe-oxide, quartz, feldspars, Al(hydr)oxides, zeolites, and anatase, containing the transition metals Fe, Cr, V, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ti, and Mn as well as the metalloid As. The indoor dust samples presented a low water solubility of about 6 %. In vitro experiments were carried out with human lung alveolar carcinoma cells (A549) to study the toxicological effects. The influence of the PM10 dust samples on cell viability, intracellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 was analysed. The indoor dust showed little effects on alamarBlue reduction indicating unaltered mitochondrial activity. However, significant cell membrane damage, ROS production, and IL-8 release were detected in dependence of dose and time. This study will support the implementation of mitigation actions in the investigated area in Brazil. 相似文献

This paper presents an evaluation of US EPA's integrated exposureuptake biokinetic model for lead (IEUBK model) using data obtained during emergency removal operations at a former lead-acid battery recycling plant and the surrounding community. Data employed in the study include soil lead and interior dust lead, air lead levels collected at the site perimeter, drinking water lead levels at the community water main and blood lead data collected from an annual blood lead monitoring programme conducted over a four year period during the remediation activities.Geometric mean soil and dust concentrations were found to be a better predictor of blood lead than arithmetic mean data. However, weight based dust lead data were believed to be an inappropriate measure of dust lead levels. Estimates of household dust lead concentrations based upon surface loading data (g m–2) yielded blood lead predictions which were more consistent with data collected in the blood lead monitoring programme 相似文献

This study tests the hypothesis that exterior sources of lead dust are more important than interior sources in the route of exposure of children. Benign field methods were used to distinguish between potential and actual lead exposure problems. Utilising hand wipe and surface wipe techniques, hand and environmental samples were obtained from selected day care centres at different locations within New Orleans. Previous research has shown that soil lead is determined by location within the city. Private and public day care centres were selected from inner and outer city areas to estimate the extent of hand lead exposure. To measure and identify the extent of environmental lead exposure, hand wipes were taken before and after playing outdoors. Results of preliminary findings show that outdoor lead dust is a more potent contaminant of hands than indoor lead dust. An association was found between the amount of lead on children's hands after playing outdoors and the lead content in the exterior dust and soil. Although two girls out of forty children had exceptionally high hand lead quantities after playing outdoors, in general, boys have higher hand lead levels than girls. The private inner-city day care centre had a severe contamination problem in its outdoor play area. By contrast, the outdoor play area of the public inner city day care centre is of such a high quality that the quantity of lead dust is independent of location in the city. 相似文献

模拟酸雨对工业污染场地表层土壤中多环芳烃释放的影响 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
通过工业污染场地表层土壤的模拟酸雨浸泡试验,分析了不同酸度的模拟酸雨浸泡前后土壤中有机质、EPA优先控制的16种多环芳烃含量和矿物质组成的变化.研究结果表明,酸雨浸泡前后土壤矿物相组成相似,主要以石英为主,只是在矿物组成的量上存在差别,浸泡后土壤中赤铁矿和粘土矿物的含量较浸泡前有所减少.模拟酸雨浸泡后土壤中有机质和多环芳烃均有不同程度的释放,酸雨pH值越小,释放量越大,且多环芳烃可能是随着有机质一起释放的;酸雨对土壤中不同性质多环芳烃释放的影响不同,对低环多环芳烃(环数≤3)释放的影响较大,对高环多环芳烃(环数≥4)影响较小.研究结果为理解在酸雨作用下工业污染场地土壤中多环芳烃的释放规律及土壤中多环芳烃稳定性研究提供一些科学依据. 相似文献

The relationships between two exposure media, garden soil and house dust, were studied for Pb uptake in Stratoni village in northern Greece, an industrial area of mining and processing of sulphide ore. Lead data for the two media were assessed in terms of total and bioaccessible content, measurement and geochemical variability, and mineralogical composition. It was found that total Pb was enriched in house dust samples by a factor of 2 on average. Total Pb concentration in soil samples had a maximum of 2,040 mg/kg and reached a maximum of 7,000 mg/kg in house dust samples. The estimated variability due to measurement uncertainty was dominated by the sampling process, and the proportion of sampling variance was greater for soil samples, indicating a higher degree of Pb heterogeneity in soil on the given spatial scale of sampling strata. Although the same general spatial trend was observed for both sampling media with decreasing Pb concentration by increasing distance from the ore-processing plant, Pb in dust samples displayed the highest concentrations within a 300–600-m zone from the ore-processing facility. The significant differences which were observed in Pb speciation between the studied media were explained by differences in mineralogical composition of outdoor soil and indoor dust. Lead-enriched Fe and Mn oxides predominated in soil samples while fine galena grains (<10–20 μm diameter) were the major Pb-bearing phase in dust samples. The integrated exposure uptake biokinetic model was used to predict the risk of elevated blood lead levels in children of Stratoni. Model prediction indicated an average probability of 61 % for blood-Pb to exceed 10 μg/dl. The results underline the importance of house dust in risk assessment and highlight the effect of outdoor and indoor conditions on the fate of Pb in the particular environment of Stratoni. 相似文献

A soil, containing 2.8% organic carbon and a high concentration (76.4%) of small particles (<63 μm), and which had been contaminated over a long period of time by galvanic waste waters (Ni, Cu) and lead wastes, was subjected to detailed analysis and subsequently treated with various extracting solutions in order to remove the heavy metals. For this purpose, representative samples containing 114 mg kg?1 Cu, 1151 mg kg?1 Ni and 366 mg kg?1 Pb were treated with amino acids and solutions containing other complexing agents, as well as with diluted acids, in order to compare the relative effectiveness of these solutions. Satisfactory metal extractions were only achieved by the use of diluted mineral acids, notably hydrochloric acid, which released more than 90% of the nickel and approximately 80% of the copper and lead from the soil. The results obtained with weak complexing agents such as tartaric acid (0.07–2.9%, 24 h) and amino acids (0.01–36%, 24h) were worse. For reprocessing of the hydrochloric acid solutions, a direct precipitation of the heavy metals in their hydroxide forms and selective separation with N-acylthiourea modified polysiloxanes were carried out. 相似文献

For the application of our method for the sequential extraction of heavy metals from microsamples presented in part 1 (“Sequentielle Schwermetallextraktion von Mikroproben” — “Sequential Extraction of Heavy Metals from Micro Samples”) an investigation was carried out to evaluate airborne dust fallout and street sediments at two urban sites where different heavy metal immission rates occur due to traffic influence. In the street sediments the total concentrations of zinc, copper and lead was three to fivefold higher in the silt and clay fraction (< 63 μm) than in the particle size fraction (< 1,12 mm), but showed nearly the same mobilisation behaviour. The dust samples showed equal mobilisation behaviour as the street sediments for copper and lead, while zinc was considerably more mobile in the dust samples: In extraction steps I–IV (I: mobile fraction; II: easily deliverable fraction; III: fraction bound to manganese oxides; IV: fraction bound organic to matter) zinc, copper and lead in street sediments, as well as copper and lead in dust samples, were dissolved to 40–70%, whereas about 80% of zinc in the dust samples was already dissolved in extraction step I. 相似文献

为研发酸化土壤的生物修复技术,采用水培试验和自动电位滴定装置研究酸性条件下氮素形态对小麦幼苗根系释放氢氧根及培养液pH变化的影响。结果表明,小麦幼苗在初始pH值为4.0,n(NO3-)∶n(NH4+)比值(以下简称硝/铵比)分别为15∶1、3∶1和1∶1的营养液中培养6 d后营养液pH升高,且增幅随硝/铵比的增加而增大,小麦对硝态氮的吸收量和氢氧根释放量呈相同的变化趋势,说明小麦对硝态氮的吸收偏好导致根系释放氢氧根,进而使得培养液pH升高。小麦幼苗在硝/铵比为3∶1,初始pH值分别为4.0、4.5和5.0的营养液中培养6d后,培养液pH和氢氧根释放量的增幅随初始pH的升高而降低,说明低pH条件有利于小麦幼苗对硝态氮的吸收,可促进小麦根系释放更多的氢氧根。10 h的恒定pH试验结果表明,恒定pH条件下小麦根系释放的氢氧根数量大于非恒定pH条件,且硝态氮比例越大,差值越大。因此,可以根据小麦在酸性条件下对硝态氮的吸收偏好建立酸化土壤的生物修复方法,即调节硝态氮含量以加大小麦根系的氢氧根释放量,进而提高土壤pH。 相似文献

Over the course of the last decade, research conducted by the Imperial College Environmental Geochemistry Research Group has focused on the nature and effects of lead in UK dusts and soils. An initial nationwide reconnaissance survey demonstrated that approximately 10% of the population is exposed to lead levels in excess of 2,000 g g–1 in house-hold dust. Subsequent exposure studies revealed that for 2 year old children in the UK urban environment, approximately 50% of lead intake was from dust ingested as a result of hand-to-mouth activity. Follow-up computer controlled scanning electron microscopy (CCSEM) analysis of urban household dust and particulate material wiped from children's hands showed that important sources of dust lead include lead-based paint, road dust and soils. CCSEM identification of specific soil lead tracer particles (from minewaste contaminated soils) in dusts and on children's hands further documented the important role of soil as a source of exposure. Speciation studies of soil lead of this origin indicated that the form of the lead, which is largely influenced by the soil environment, is the primary control on bioavailability. It appears that although lead of minewaste origin may be present at elevated levels in dusts and soils, it does not necessarily contribute to elevated blood lead levels when the lead is present in relatively insoluble form. 相似文献

In the last few decades, metal oxide nanoparticles have shown impact in various areas, and such an impact causes an increased release in a different environment like soil, water, or air. A limited number of studies on soils showed that the biochemical parameters were affected by the metal oxide nanoparticles. However, the influence of metal oxide nanoparticles on soil elements has not been investigated. For this aim, zinc oxide nanoparticles were applied to two different soils; also, the effect of planting on soil elements was investigated via the cultivation of various plants roots (taproots, fibrous, bulb). Soils were treated with zinc oxide nanoparticles at 0, 1.0 and 20.0?mg during 4 weeks. Then, surface soil samples were collected and digested using an acid digestion procedure. Some biochemically important elements (Ca, Zn, Mg, Fe, Al, Cu, Co, Ni) were determined using a microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometer. The effect of time and dose-dependent zinc oxide nanoparticles on the element contents of different soils was investigated during planting, and the results were statistically evaluated. 相似文献

The impact of high environmental lead levels on public health is currently under much debate. Such a situation exists in two former lead mining villages set in the Southern Uplands of Scotland, where the environment is heavily contaminated through past mining activity. A survey was conducted based on representative samples of male and female adults and of all children living in the area, to examine the distribution of blood lead levels and to compare this with the distribution in residents in a control area. Possible routes of exposure including the determination of lead in domestic water, in house dust, in airborne dust, on food preparation surfaces, on hands, in garden soils and through home grown vegetable consumption were investigated. The results indicate that there is a general increase in lead exposure in environmental variables in the contaminated area, while blood lead levels show an excess of between 45 and 70 percent compared with the control. The determinants of blood lead are discussed through correlation and multiple regression analysis. 相似文献

Residents in older homes may experience increased lead (Pb) exposures due to release of lead from interior paints manufactured
in past decades, especially pre-1960s. The objective of the study was to determine the speciation of Pb in settled dust from
an urban home built during WWII. X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and micro-X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were
performed on samples of paint (380–2,920 mg Pb kg−1) and dust (200–1,000 mg Pb kg−1) collected prior to renovation. All dust samples exhibited a Pb XANES signature similar to that of Pb found in paint. Bulk
XANES and micro-XRD identified Pb species commonly found as white paint pigments (Pb oxide, Pb sulfate, and Pb carbonate)
as well as rutile, a titanium-based pigment, in the <150 μm house dust samples. In the dust fraction <36 μm, half of the Pb
was associated with the Fe-oxyhydroxides, suggesting additional contribution of outdoor sources to Pb in the finer dust. These
results confirm that old paints still contribute to Pb in the settled dust for this 65-year-old home. The Pb speciation also
provided a clearer understanding of the Pb bioaccessibility: Pb carbonate > Pb oxide > Pb sulfate. This study underscores
the importance of taking precautions to minimize exposures to Pb in house dust, especially in homes where old paint is exposed
due to renovations or deterioration of painted surfaces. 相似文献

Ambient lead levels in air, soil and dust deposits on selected plant species at ten distinctly located sampling stations of Indore city are presented. The maximum lead level in air was recorded at Palasia, where the traffic density was found to be the highest. Out of the plant species studied, the maximum lead was recorded on Dalbergia sissoo leaves. A possible relationship between leaf morphology and dust accumulation tendency is also discussed. 相似文献

The adsorption behavior of three anionic azo dyes (Acid Orange 6, Acid Orange 10 andAcid Orange 12) on different soil/sediment components (quartz sand, clay and organic matter) was investigated with a flow-through method using a simplified HPLC apparatus. Organic matter had the highest adsorption capacity for all three dyes, followed by clay and sand. The adsorption on different components in mixtures was not additive. The adsorption of similar aniomic azo dyes decreased with increasing negative charge. The affinity of equally charged dye molecules to the adsorbents was also strongly influenced by the remaining chemical structure. While adsorption on organic matter could always be described by Freundlich isotherms, S-shaped isotherms were often measured with quartz sand and clay. For that reason one must assume different adsorption mechanisms for organic matter and mineral adsorbens. Lower pH values always led to stronger adsorption of the anionic azo dyes. On the other hand, ionic strength effects cannot be characterized so clearly. Adsorption was generally lowered by decreasing ionic strengths but sometimes the opposite effect was observed. Moreover, there were some unusual cases of partly irreversible adsorption on quartz sand and organic matter when the dyes were not dissolved in an aqueous solution containing additional inorganic ions but in double distilled water. The adsorption of anionic azo dyes on soil and sediment materials turned out to be a very complex process. Although some interesting coherences could be pointed out, much more research is required to recognize general principles, concerning for example the influence of the chemical structure or the surrounding aqueous solution. 相似文献
