Assessment of total and organic vanadium levels and their bioaccumulation in edible sea cucumbers: tissues distribution,inter-species-specific,locational differences and seasonal variations

The objective of this study is to investigate the levels, inter-species-specific, locational differences and seasonal variations of vanadium in sea cucumbers and to validate further several potential factors controlling the distribution of metals in sea cucumbers. Vanadium levels were evaluated in samples of edible sea cucumbers and were demonstrated exhibit differences in different seasons, species and sampling sites. High vanadium concentrations were measured in the sea cucumbers, and all of the vanadium detected was in an organic form. Mean vanadium concentrations were considerably higher in the blood (sea cucumber) than in the other studied tissues. The highest concentration of vanadium (2.56 μg g⁻¹), as well as a higher degree of organic vanadium (85.5 %), was observed in the Holothuria scabra samples compared with all other samples. Vanadium levels in Apostichopus japonicus from Bohai Bay and Yellow Sea have marked seasonal variations. Average values of 1.09 μg g⁻¹ of total vanadium and 0.79 μg g⁻¹ of organic vanadium were obtained in various species of sea cucumbers. Significant positive correlations between vanadium in the seawater and V _org in the sea cucumber (r = 81.67 %, p = 0.00), as well as between vanadium in the sediment and V _org in the sea cucumber (r = 77.98 %, p = 0.00), were observed. Vanadium concentrations depend on the seasons (salinity, temperature), species, sampling sites and seawater environment (seawater, sediment). Given the adverse toxicological effects of inorganic vanadium and positive roles in controlling the development of diabetes in humans, a regular monitoring programme of vanadium content in edible sea cucumbers can be recommended.

     

响应面法建立不同经口介质中邻苯二甲酸酯生物有效性预测模型及相关因素

运用响应面法对不同消化基质下邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)生物有效性的相关因素进行筛选建立预测模型,并对主要因素设定值进行分析.研究表明,3种模型中因变量与自变量之间的相关性较好(土壤:R2=0.959;农作物及植物:R2=0.973;脂肪:R2=0.862),模型拟合度较高.通过多次试验模拟,初步认为在土壤消化基质中,设置人体摄入PAEs经口摄入浓度为10μg·g-1,基质质量为0.4g,pH值约为7时,生物吸收量最高.在植物源基质下,污染物浓度在10—11μg·g-1,消化时间在6—7h,基质质量为0.4g为生物吸收量最高.脂肪源中,基质质量在0.4g,污染物浓度在10μg·g-1,脂肪量在10%—11%时,PAEs生物吸收量最高.研究通过重复试验,充分体现了该模型的准确性,及设定条件的可靠性.但本研究仅考虑摄入介质相对单一,污染物化合形态等未在考虑范围内,在后期研究中将补充试验.

Characteristics of chemical components in PM<Subscript>2.5</Subscript> at a plateau city,South-west China

A sampling campaign including summer, autumn and winter of 2014 and spring of 2015 was accomplished to obtain the characteristic of chemical components in PM_2.5 at three sites of Kunming, a plateau city in South-west China. Nine kinds of water-soluble inorganic ions (WSI), organic and element carbon (OC and EC) in PM_2.5 were analyzed by ion chromatography and thermal optical reflectance method, respectively. Results showed that the average concentrations of total WSI, OC and EC were 22.85±10.95 µg·m^-3, 17.83±9.57 µg·m^-3 and 5.11±4.29 µg·m^-3, respectively. They totally accounted for 53.0% of PM_2.5. Secondary organic and inorganic aerosols (SOA and SIA) were also assessed by the minimum ratio of OC/EC, nitrogen and sulfur oxidation ratios. The annual average concentrations of SOA and SIA totally accounted for 28.3% of the PM_2.5 concentration. The low proportion suggested the primary emission was the main source of PM_2.5 in Kunming. However, secondary pollution in the plateau city should also not be ignorable, due to the appropriate temperature and strong solar radiation, which can promote the atmospheric photochemical reactions.

广东省海水养殖对海区环境影响的夏季调查

在2000年夏季对广东省汕头、惠阳、珠海、阳江和湛江等沿海地区一些养殖区域与非养殖区域水体中氮、磷和浮游动植物等指标进行测定,分析夏季海水养殖给海区水环境造成的压力.结果表明,养殖区总氮、颗粒态总氮、总磷、颗粒态总磷含量分别为0.506～1.244μmol/L、0.367～1.066μmol/L、0.¨2～0.232μmol/L、0.054～0.157μmol/L,这些指标在养殖区高于非养殖区;养殖区与非养殖区的溶解态总氮、溶解态总磷、总氮总磷比值、溶解态总氮溶解态总磷比值无显著性差异.5个地点养殖区与非养殖区的浮游植物主要是角毛藻属Chaetoceros中的种类占优势;而浮游动物中占优势的主要是桡足类,包括成体与无节幼体.水产养殖对养殖海区浮游动植物的种类数目总个体数均无显著影响,但影响了生物多样性,并对某些浮游生物种类有促进作用或抑制作用.     

梯-潭结构型泥石流排导槽消能特征试验研究

梯-潭结构型排导槽是一种适用于大比降沟床条件下的泥石流排导工程措施,因其良好的防治功效和工程价值而具有较好的应用前景。选取泥石流容重、规模和潭深为主要影响因素,通过水槽试验模拟泥石流在梯-潭结构型排导槽中的运动过程。结果表明,潭内表层铺填的砾石在泥石流浆体强烈的紊动和大颗粒冲击碰撞下发生明显的物质交换现象,且排导过渡性泥石流时物质交换现象最为强烈,稀性泥石流次之,粘性泥石流则相对较弱;梯-潭结构型排导槽的消能主要体现在泥石流通过梯-潭结构时泥深变化和加剧紊流两个方面;梯-潭结构的消能效率与潭深呈正相关关系,且消能率基本大于20%,最大消能率可达73.93%。当潭深过大时,梯-潭结构对泥石流表现出明显的拦截作用,虽消能效果明显,但与排导宗旨相悖。而泥石流规模对梯-潭结构消能的影响相对较小,整体呈现规模越小消能率越高的趋势。     

Application of recycled aggregate porous concrete pile (RAPP) to improve soft ground

In this study, a series of laboratory chamber tests was carried out to evaluate the applicability of a porous concrete pile fabricated with recycled aggregates for soft ground improvement. The recycled aggregate porous concrete pile (RAPP) has been developed to replace natural aggregates and to overcome technical problems associated with the conventional compaction piling systems. The laboratory chamber tests for evaluating the performance of RAPP were carried out with a cylindrical mold of 280?mm in internal diameter and 580?mm in height. A replacement area ratio of 5?% and three different loading steps were applied in the chamber tests. The experimental results of the surface settlement, excess pore pressure and vertical stress distribution versus time were compared with those of the sand compaction pile (SCP) reinforced composite ground under the same experimental condition. In addition, the experimental results were compared with the numerical simulation using ABAQUS. The current study shows that the settlement reduction in the RAPP-reinforced system is?significantly enhanced due to load transfer from the soil formation to the RAPP. Furthermore, the comparison of consolidation rates shows that the RAPP can also accelerate the consolidation of soft clay formation because the RAPP behaves as a vertical drain.
