连云港海州湾海域表层水体和沉积物中微塑料的分布特征

近年来,微塑料成为国内外广泛关注的新型海洋污染物,海湾作为人类在海岸环境中的主要活动地区,一直是海洋污染物聚集地,但我国对近岸大部分中小型海湾环境中微塑料的分布状况仍鲜见报道.为了解我国近岸中小型海湾的微塑料污染特征,本研究以江苏省海州湾海域表层海水和沉积物中采集的微塑料为样本,通过定性和定量方法研究了表层水和沉积物中微塑料主要类型和丰度及空间分布特征.结果表明,海州湾表层水体和沉积物中的微塑料丰度分别为(2.60±1.40)个·m~(-3)和(0.33±0.26)个·g~(-1),在国内近岸环境(表层水0.33～545.00个·m~(-3),沉积物0.07～2.58个·g~(-1))中,海州湾表层水中的微塑料丰度处于较低水平,但沉积物中的微塑料处于较高水平.塑料污染物的粒径大小在水体中分布范围为0.08～13.48 mm,其中,微塑料(粒径5 mm)占91.8%,塑料污染物在沉积物中粒径的分布范围为0.04～14.74 mm,微塑料占91.4%,水体和沉积物中60%以上的微塑料粒径小于2.00 mm.海州湾海域微塑料的形态以纤维状为主,占92%;颜色以蓝色和黑色为主,占70%;材质以人造纤维和PET为主,占79.4%.表层水中微塑料的分布与悬浮物浓度分布具有显著的相关性(P0.05),沉积物中微塑料的分布受多方面因素影响,其分布规律与表层水中微塑料的分布以及沉积物中粒径的分布都具有较大差异性.通过对微塑料的形态特征以及成分组成的分析表明,海州湾的微塑料主要来源于海水养殖和沿岸陆源输入.     

青岛近海生物气溶胶中总微生物的分布特征

为了解生物气溶胶中总微生物浓度的月季分布和粒径分布特征,于2016年9月～2017年7月期间在青岛近海连续采集了大气生物气溶胶分级样品,并利用DAPI染色-荧光显微镜计数方法测定了生物气溶胶中总微生物浓度.结果表明,采样期间青岛近海生物气溶胶中总微生物浓度范围为1. 86×10~5～2. 54×10~6cells·m~(-3),平均值为(6. 84±4. 83)×10~5cells·m~(-3).大气中总微生物浓度的季节变化为春季和冬季较高,夏季较低,秋季最低,统计分析显示秋季和春季、夏季大气中总微生物浓度具有明显的季节变化差异(P 0. 05).生物气溶胶中总微生物月均浓度在2. 65×10~5～1. 12×10~6cells·m~(-3)之间,最高值出现在2017年2月,最低值出现在2016年9月. 2015～2017年青岛秋冬季大气中总微生物浓度一日中变化较大,但并未呈现出明显的日变化规律(P 0. 05).生物气溶胶中总微生物的粒径分布呈现偏态分布, 7. 0μm粒径所占比例最高,可达20. 5%～27. 3%;粒径分布随月份不同而有变化,呈现双峰分布和偏态分布两类.相关性分析显示,总微生物浓度与AQI、CO、PM_(2.5)和PM_(10)等因子呈显著正相关(P 0. 05),与温度、风速和风向等气象因素以及NO_2、SO_2和O_3等因子无显著相关(P 0. 05).多元线性回归模拟结果显示,生物气溶胶总微生物浓度中20. 6%的变化与相对湿度和PM_(2.5)相关.     

深圳近岸海域全氟化合物的污染特征

为探究深圳近岸海域全氟化合物(perfluorinated compounds,PFCs)的污染特征,2013年9月采集了深圳近岸(离岸﹥2km)10份表层海水和7份表层沉积物.采用固相萃取分离、富集,结合高效液相色谱-质谱联用的方法测定了其中16种PFCs的含量.结果表明,表层海水中有10种PFCs不同程度地检出,包括C4、C6和C8全氟磺酸盐(perfluorinated sulfonates,PFSAs)和C5~C11全氟羧酸(perfluorinated carboxylic acids,PFCAs).ΣPFCs质量浓度范围在1.74~14.7 ng·L-1之间,其中PFBS、PFOS和PFOA是主要的PFCs.ΣPFCs质量浓度分布呈西高东低的态势,伶仃洋和深圳湾ΣPFCs质量浓度显著高于大亚湾和大鹏湾(P0.05),距岸越远ΣPFCs质量浓度越低.表层海水中PFCs可能主要来自于近岸污水的排放以及河流入海的输入.表层沉积物中有8种PFCs不同程度地检出,包括C6和C8PFSAs和C5,C6,C8~C11PFCAs.ΣPFCs含量范围在2.22~2.62μg·kg-1之间,其中PFOS是主要的PFCs.ΣPFCs含量变化很小,可能主要来自对上覆海水中PFCs的吸附.沉积物吸附PFCs的能力随碳链长度增加而增强,且相同碳链长度的情况下,PFSAs较PFCAs更易于被吸附.此外,不同近岸海域PFCs质量浓度比较结果表明,深圳近岸海域表层海水PFBS污染较为严重,而沉积物PFOS含量与其他海域相差不大.     

舟山西部近岸海域沉积物中敌草隆的含量

为研究敌草隆对舟山近岸海域生态系统的影响,自2011年至2013年对舟山主岛西部近岸海域沉积物中敌草隆的含量进行了调查。对30个沉积物样品进行分析检测,调查海域沉积物中敌草隆的含量(干重)范围为未检出~3.9×10-9,平均含量为1.13×10-9,大部分样品含量低于1.43×10-9(占总样品量的86.7%)。其中,年均含量分别为2011年0.851×10-9,2012年1.328×10-9,2013年1.202×10-9。沉积物中敌草隆的含量呈现缓慢上升趋势,表明敌草隆对调查海域的生态系统存在潜在的风险。     

沙尘天气对生物气溶胶中总微生物浓度及粒径分布的影响

为了解沙尘对生物气溶胶中微生物的影响,于2015年3~4月间分别在兰州和青岛沙尘期间运用分级生物气溶胶采样器连续采集了生物气溶胶样品,并利用DAPI染色-荧光显微镜计数方法测定了总微生物浓度.结果表明,沙尘发生时生物气溶胶中总微生物浓度显著增加(P0.05).兰州和青岛总微生物浓度晴天背景均值分别为5.61×10~5cells·m~(-3)和2.08×10~5cells·m~(-3),沙尘时平均浓度分别是晴天的14.8倍和6.42倍.晴天时兰州和青岛两地样品微生物粒径分布均呈双峰分布,最高峰值均出现在7.0μm的粒径上,最低值均出现在4.7~7.0μm的粒径上,浓度次高峰值分别出现在3.3~4.7μm的粒径上和1.1~2.1μm的粒径上.沙尘时粒径分布均发生明显变化,兰州仍呈现双峰分布,但其中一个峰值从7.0μm移动到1.1~2.1μm;而青岛粒径由双峰分布变为粗粒径偏态分布.兰州和青岛沙尘前微生物负荷的背景值分别是2 224 cells·μg~(-1)和1 550 cells·μg~(-1),而沙尘发生时,颗粒物的微生物负荷均大幅增加,最高值分别达26 442 cells·μg~(-1)和10 250 cells·μg~(-1),这说明沙尘天气发生时,微生物浓度的增加不仅仅是因为空气中颗粒物的增加,而是因为长距离传输的沙尘颗粒携带有大量外源微生物.     

山东半岛南部近海海水及动物石油烃污染状况

根据2007年11月对山东半岛南部近海海水和动物体的石油烃污染水平检测结果,分析表层海水及动物体石油烃含量分布特征,评估该海域受石油烃污染程度。结果表明,调查海区表层海水中石油烃含量范围为(0.017~0.069)mg/L,平均含量为0.031 mg/L,鱼类体内石油烃含量范围为(2.24~30.31)×10-6,平均为11.59×10-6;软体类含量范围为(4.19~36.49)×10-6,平均为19.83×10-6;甲壳类含量范围为(8.41~49.07)×10-6,平均为18.47×10-6。海水和动物体石油烃含量分布特征,均呈近岸高、离岸低趋势。虽然调查区域海水和动物体石油烃污染状况为轻度,但日照港和胶州湾海域污染状况却不容忽视。     

福建牙城湾海水、沉积物的环境特征及其质量评价

于2005年10月首次调查了福建牙城湾海域水体及沉积物的环境质量.结果表明,海水中主要超标污染物为PO4-P和DIN,其含量范围分别为0.029~0.037 mg/L和0.270~0.510 mg/L,其它指标均符合二类海水水质标准.沉积物中各项指标基本达到<海洋沉积物质量>的一类标准,其中Hg、Pb、Cu和Cd等四种重金属的平均含量分别为0.091×10-6、39.7×10-6、29.3×10-6和0.118 ×10-6,有机物和硫化物的平均含量分别为0.941×10-2和207 ×10-6.湾水水体已达到富营养状态,且N为限制因子.此外,对沉积物中重金属及其他环境因子间的相关性进行了分析.     

青岛近岸海域表层沉积物生源要素分布及污染状况评价

为了解青岛市近岸海域不同功能海区沉积物中生源要素分布及污染状况,于2017年11月在胶州湾、崂山近岸海域和青岛市文昌鱼保护区共采集了33个表层沉积物样品,分析了沉积物生源要素中总有机碳(TOC)、总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)及生物硅(BSi)的含量。青岛近岸海域TOC、TN、TP和BSi含量范围分别为0.21%～1.43%、0.02%～0.13%、0.06%～0.15%和0.26%～0.60%。胶州湾表层沉积物中TN和TP含量较高,崂山近岸海域TOC较高,而文昌鱼保护区BSi含量较高。此外,胶州湾沉积物中BSi含量呈显著下降趋势,说明海域硅藻生产力的下降。根据沉积物中TOC/TN摩尔比,崂山近岸海域沉积物中有机质为海源和陆源混合输入,而胶州湾和文昌鱼保护区有机质的主要来源为海源输入。生源要素污染评价结果显示,青岛近岸海域表层沉积物中TOC含量未受到污染,而TN和TP则处于中等污染水平。     

白洋淀沉积物氨氮释放通量研究

白洋淀沼泽化趋势不断加重,本文分析了沉积物氨氮释放风险与水质效应,评估沉积物中氨氮交换通量对上覆水体水质产生的重要影响.结果表明:白洋淀淀区表层水氨氮(NH_4~+-N)平均浓度在0.0~0.49 mg·L~(-1)之间,硝氮(NO_3~--N)平均浓度维持在0.09~0.20 mg·L~(-1),总氮(TN)浓度范围为1.40~4.52 mg·L~(-1),淀区水质在V类水平和劣V类水平.沉积物NH_4~+-N的平均含量在61.1~160.6 mg·kg~(-1),NO_3~--N含量整体平均值较低,范围在4.3~9.0 mg·kg~(-1),TN含量平均值在1555~4400 mg·kg~(-1)之间.整个白洋淀淀区表层沉积物孔隙水中NH_4~+-N浓度明显高于上覆水浓度,NH_4~+-N存在从沉积物向上覆水释放的风险.淀区沉积物-水界面潜在NH_4~+-N扩散通量范围为-9.3~38.3 mg·m~(-2)·d~(-1),NH_4~+-N潜在内源释放风险非常高.烧车淀区、南刘庄区、圈头区的潜在NH_4~+-N平均释放通量达到10.0 mg·m~(-2)·d~(-1)以上.为了避免白洋淀沼泽化过程加快,水质氮污染需要采取相应措施进行有效控制,而控制沉积物NH_4~+-N的内源释放是其中的关键环节.     

长江口及邻近水域油污染分布特征

根据2 0 0 0～2 0 0 3年春夏季长江口及邻近海域海水及沉积物中油类的调查结果,分析海域油污染的分布特征,采用单项指数法评估调查海域的油污染程度。结果表明,调查水域海水中油含量分布范围为0 .0 11～0 .3 8mg/L ,平均含量为0 .0 89mg/L ;其中春季平均含量为0 .0 90mg/L ,夏季平均含量0 .0 79mg /L ;主要污染区域位于长江口近岸及舟山、大衢山等岛屿附近。2 0 0 3年沉积物油类年平均含量为92 .94×10 - 6 ,其中春季平均含量为86.85×10 - 6 ,夏季为95 .2 0×10 - 6 m ,长江河口水域平均含量最高。水体中油含量和沉积物总油含量之间不存在镜像关系。以《渔业水质标准》和《海洋沉积物质量》一类标准计算,调查区域水体单项指数大多高于1,平均值为1.73 ;沉积物单项指数都小于1,平均为0 .19;无论水体还是沉积物,均以长江河口水域的污染最为严重。     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.

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.     

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

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.     

Alterations of organ histopathology and metallolhionein mRNA expression in silver barb, Puntius gonionotus during subchronic cadmium exposure

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.
