哈尔滨市大气中多环芳烃的初步研究

利用改进型的大流量主动采样器,于2008年5月7~20日对哈尔滨市大气样品进行采集,并检测了气相和颗粒相中的多环芳烃(PAHs)的浓度.结果表明,哈尔滨市大气中总PAHs的浓度为8.1~37.2ng/m3,平均值为18.2ng/m3.通过特征分子比值法推断出哈尔滨市大气中PAHs主要来自于煤的燃烧.低环PAHs主要集中在气相,而高环PAHs则吸附在颗粒相上.气粒分配系数与过冷饱和蒸气压具有很好的相关性,但PAHs并没有达到气粒分配平衡,这可能与冬季取暖用煤燃烧产生的新多环芳烃有关.     

煤矿区表层土壤中芳香烃组成、分布特征及标志化合物研究

通过分析2005年3月至2006年1月间北京市东南郊3个采样点大气总悬浮颗粒物(TSP)样品中多环芳烃(PAHs)的浓度,对北京市东南郊大气TSP中的多环芳烃的来源进行了解析.4个季节中16种多环芳烃组分比例变化反映出各个季节PAHs来源的变化;各方向风频数与PAHs浓度的相关分析表明,研究区内PAHs浓度与西北方向的污染来源贡献密切相关;利用比值法进行源解析,发现研究区PAHs的主要来源为燃煤,此外机动车和焦炉源也可以识别出来;应用因子分析和多元线性回归计算出3个采样点各PAHs源的相对贡献率.     

北京市大气颗粒物中多环芳烃的组成

采用高效液相色谱/质谱联用技术(HPLC/MS)检测了北京市石景山工业区和海淀居民生活区的大气颗粒物样品中的多环芳烃(PAHs),比较了北京市工业区和居民区大气飘尘中多环芳烃含量的差异以及不同季节对多环芳烃含量的影响.检测出PAHs类碳氢化合物共135种,分子质量大于300u的PAHs有55种,弥补了气相色谱/质谱(GC/MS)不能直接测定大分子量PAHs的不足,更为全面地反映了大气飘尘中PAHs的分布状况.     

河北与京津地区非采暖期大气中的PAHs污染特征

对河北与京津地区42个样点非采暖期大气中多环芳烃(Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons,PAHs)的研究表明,该区域大气中的PAHs浓度水平较高.2～3环PAHs主要分布在气相当中,颗粒相(大气可吸入颗粒物,PM10)中PAHs以4～6环为主.PAHs的高浓度样点在石家庄、唐山和邯郸地区分布最为集中.县城样点与城市样点的PM10和PAHs污染水平相近.临近区域广泛存在的大气污染很可能对北京市的大气环境造成影响.     

西安采暖季大气中多环芳烃的污染特征及来源解析

采用改进型的大流量主动采样器,对西安采暖季大气总悬浮颗粒物(TSP)样品和气相样品进行了连续采集,利用GC-MS测定多环芳烃(PAHs)的浓度.结果表明,颗粒态和气态样品中Σ16PAHs平均值分别为(108.15±41.44)ng/m3和(260.14±99.84)ng/m3,2～3环的PAHs主要分布在气态中,而4环的PAHs主要分布在颗粒态中,PAHs的气固相分配系数和其过冷饱和蒸气压具有良好的相关性.温度与分配系数也具有显著相关性,并应用逐步回归方法得出分配系数与温度的回归方程.利用特征分子比值法进行源解析,发现西安大气中PAHs主要来源于煤的不完全燃烧和汽车尾气的排放,并利用因子分析和多元线性回归对各种来源的贡献率进行了计算.通过污染指数与因子的代表物质进行偏相关分析,发现某些PAHs与SO2、NO2来自于相同的污染源.     

2007年春节期间北京大气颗粒物中多环芳烃的污染特征

利用大流量颗粒物采样器分昼夜采集了2007年春节前后大气气溶胶中PM10和PM2.5样品,并采用气相色谱-质谱技术对PM2 5样品中的多环芳烃进行了检测.春节期间大气颗粒物中PM10和PM2 5夜间平均质量浓度为232 ug·m-3和132 ug·m-3,分别高于白天的PM10(194ug·m-3)和PM2.5(107ug·m-3);除夕后颗粒物日平均质量浓度为252.3 ug·m-3(PM10)和123.8ug·m-3 (PM2.5),分别高于除夕前的166.7 ug·m-3(PM10)和106.8 ug·m-3(PM2.5);同时夜间PM2.5中多17种多环芳烃(PAHs)的总浓度都高于相应白天的总浓度,且除夕前多环芳烃日均总浓度为95.9 ng·m-3,高于除夕后的58.9 ng·m-3.结果表明,除了受一定的气象条件的影响外,大量燃放烟花爆竹会对大气颗粒物浓度有影响.但对大气中的多环芳烃影响不大,而春节期间工业及交通污染排放的减少削减了排放到大气中的PAHs.根据荧蒽/芘等比值指标判别北京PAHs主要以燃煤为主、交通为次的混合局地源污染.     

珠江三角洲地区大气中多环芳烃的被动采样观测

研究了珠江三角洲地区大气中多环芳烃的含量与分布.利用大气被动采样装置,在包括香港在内的珠江三角洲地区共设立了21个大气被动采样点,样品采集时间为2005-08-15—10-14.结果表明,除主要存在于气相中的2～3环PAHs与部分4环PAHs外,聚氨酯泡沫材料(PUF)被动采样器也可在一定程度上采集大气颗粒物中的5～7环PAHs.珠江三角洲地区大气PAHs的含量与组成存在较大差异,珠江三角洲内地采样点PAHs的含量远远高于香港采样点,这主要是受采样点所处的地理位置、气候条件以及能源消费结构的影响.初步研究表明,PUF大气被动采样器可较好地运用于区域大气PAHs污染分布与特征对比研究.      

基于被动采样技术的垃圾焚烧厂及周边大气中PAHs分布研究

垃圾焚烧是大气PAHs污染的重要来源,为监测垃圾焚烧过程产生的PAHs,利用被动采样技术对垃圾焚烧厂及周边大气中的多环芳烃(PAHs)进行了定量分析.结果表明,PAHs总量为146.29～396.30 ng·d-1,其中气相中PAHs为128.03～377.05 ng·d-1,颗粒相中PAHs为10.698～19.251 ng·d-1.气相中PAHs组成以菲、荧蒽、芴等低环化合物为主,菲的含量高达55.1%.选定松针作为被动植物样品,测得松针中PAHs的浓度为651.88～1 044.43 ng·g-1;考察土壤中PAHs的分布特征,测得土壤中PAHs浓度为35.04～998.89 ng·g-1.被动采样和松针、土壤中所含的PAHs分布特征相似,说明被动采样能反映PAHs在环境中的真实积累情况.此外,通过比较主动采样与被动采样结果,表明两者对大气中PAHs的富集能达到基本一致的效果.     

深圳市大气中多环芳烃的污染特征与来源识别

利用大流量主动采样器于2009年12月~2010年1月及2010年6月,分冬季与夏季两批次对深圳市13个点位进行大气样品采集,检测其气相及颗粒相中总的多环芳烃(PAHs)浓度.结果表明,冬季深圳市大气中总PAHs的浓度为17.9~92.3ng/m3,平均值为45.3ng/m3;夏季总PAHs浓度范围为8.64~96.3ng/m3,平均值为32.2ng/m3.两个季节PAHs单体中均以3~4环为主,占总浓度的75%以上;单个组分与总量的相关性分析表明,夏季明显优于冬季.来源分析表明,冬季大气中PAHs来源比夏季更为复杂,通过特征分子比值法推断冬季PAHs主要来源于石油源、燃煤、机动车尾气排放;夏季主要来源于机动车尾气排放.利用毒性当量因子法和致癌风险评价其污染水平和毒性风险,结果表明深圳市大气中PAHs污染与国内部分城市相比,处于较低水平.     

舟山青浜岛不同环境介质中PAHs的分布特征

于2013年7月在青浜岛上采集11个土壤样品、3个大气被动采样样品以及周边3个海水样品,分析了样品中16种多环芳烃(PAHs)的含量,并对其分布特征、来源、生态风险进行了讨论.结果表明,土壤、海水和大气中Σ16PAHs的含量范围分别为60.30~123.34 ng·g-1(平均值为105.49 ng·g-1)、45.96~101.08 ng·L-1(平均值为66.45 ng·L-1)和5.09~5.41ng·d-1(平均值为5.35 ng·d-1).分布特征为:潮汐带土壤中PAHs含量低于非潮汐带;3个海水样中,以靠近水文条件复杂的海域内样品中的PAHs含量最高;岛上大气中PAHs分布均匀.土壤、海水和大气中PAHs主要以2~4环的PAHs为主;通过比值法和因子分析得出,青浜岛土壤中的PAHs来源于煤、木炭等生物质燃烧以及柴油、汽油的燃烧,海水和大气中的PAHs来源于混合源.生态风险评价结果表明青浜岛土壤和周边海水中PAHs生态风险较低.     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

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.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

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.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

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.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

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.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

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.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a 3-chlorobenzoate degrading bacteria

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.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

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.
