Comparison of sequential with intimate coupling of photolysis and biodegradation for benzotriazole

Benzotriazole (BTA) is an emerging contaminant that also is a recalcitrant compound. Sequential and intimate coupling of UV-photolysis with biodegradation were investigated for their impacts on BTA removal and mineralization in aerobic batch experiments. Special attention was given to the role of its main photolytic products, which were aminophenol (AP), formic acid (FA), maleic acid (MA), and phenazine (PHZ). Experiments with sequential coupling showed that BTA biodegradation was accelerated by photolytic pretreatment up to 9 min, but BTA biodegradation was slowed with longer photolysis. FA and MA accelerated BTA biodegradation by being labile electron-donor substrates, but AP and PHZ slowed the rate because of inhibition due to their competition for intracellular electron donor. Because more AP and PHZ accumulated with increasing photolysis time, their inhibitory effects began to dominate with longer photolysis time. Intimately coupling photolysis with biodegradation relieved the inhibition effect, because AP and PHZ were quickly biodegraded and did not accumulate, which accentuated the beneficial effect of FA and MA.

废弃农药厂污染场地土壤浸出液的急性毒性和遗传毒性筛查

污染土地再开发是城市土地可持续利用的关键。为进行废弃农药厂的生态风险评价,采集常州市某废弃农药厂污染场地6个不同区域的土壤样品(编号为S1、S2、S3、S4、S5和S6),选取发光细菌、大型溞和蚕豆根尖细胞为试验生物,运用成组生物毒性试验对6个土壤样品的浸出液进行生物毒性检测。结果表明:6个土壤样品的浸出液都具有急性毒性和遗传毒性;发光菌和大型溞急性毒性试验表明,S3和S5的土壤浸出液毒性最高,S6的土壤浸出液毒性最低;蚕豆根尖微核遗传毒性试验表明S3和S5的土壤浸出液毒性最高,S4和S6的土壤浸出液毒性最低。蚕豆根尖微核遗传毒性试验结果与发光菌和大型溞急性毒性效应基本相同,表明成组生物毒性测试法可以用于污染土壤浸出液的毒性评价。污染物质和毒性检测结果的相关性分析结果表明,土壤中所含污染物种类和浓度已经对土壤毒性效应产生影响,结合化学分析与生物毒性检测可为污染场地进行综合评价与风险评估提供依据。     

常用农药助剂类产品对水生生物效应研究进展

农药助剂是在农药制剂加工和使用中加入的除农药有效成分以外的其他辅助物质的总称。农药助剂在提高农药制剂药效、改善药剂性能、稳定制剂质量和降低活性成分危害等方面都起着相当重要的作用。几乎所有化学合成的农药原药都需添加农药助剂成为具有实际使用价值的农药制剂。农药助剂本身虽不具备对靶标生物的杀灭作用,但并不意味着其对环境或人体不具有危害性,部分现今仍在流通使用的农药助剂可导致健康危害,如致癌、致畸、致突变、危害神经系统,具有内分泌干扰作用等。截止目前,由于农药施用带来的农药助剂的危害问题很少引起研究人员关注,我国在农药助剂管理方面还是空白,亟需引起管理部门的重视并制订相关的防控法规。农药助剂种类繁多,我国习惯上将其分为非表面活性剂和表面活性剂两大类。本文总结了包括常用溶剂,非离子型、阳离子型和阴离子型表面活性剂在内的常用助剂对藻类、大型溞和鱼类等水生生物的急慢性毒性效应,并综述了烷基酚聚氧乙烯醚类助剂及其降解产物对水生生物的内分泌干扰效应。鉴于农药助剂对生态环境和人类的健康风险,本文还提出了我国农药助剂环境安全管理策略建议。     

西南地区高校冬季室内二氧化碳浓度的测试研究

以西南科技大学为研究对象,用便携式红外线二氧化碳分析仪对其冬季室内CO2浓度进行测试分析,测试大学教室课前课后及寝室有人状态下CO2的浓度,包括普查检测以及连续监测。普查检测结果显示20％的样本CO2超过国家规定的上限值（0．10％）,且超标的样本在检测时都处于通风状态不佳时;连续监测则反映出室内CO2的增长与室内人数、房间体积以及通风情况的关系,建议尽量减小室内人员密度,增强通风,以此来确保高校师生身体健康。     

Bioconcentration kinetics of PCBs in various parts of the lifecycle of the tadpoles Xenopus laevis

Polychlorinated biphenyls （PCBs） in Xenopus laevis have been reported only for a few congeners. Additionally, there is very little information on the ability of Xenopus laevis to bioconcentrate PCBs. To address these issues, the tadpole Xenopus laevis was exposed to Aroclor 1254 mixtures in water at room temperature for 110 d followed by an additional 110 d of nonspiked PCBs in the water for the control group. During the whole process, bioconcentration factors （BCFs） of PCBs ranged from 1180 to 15670. For most PCB congeners, the highest and lowest bioconcentrations of the kinetic curves were found to be remarkably simultaneous, respectively. All 141 PCB congeners under the same experimental conditions had no linear correlation on the lgBCF versus lgKow relationship. The relationship between lgBCFs and lgKow followed a parabolic pattern indicative of selective bioconcentration, suggesting that the kinetic curves of the PCB congeners observed in the lifecycle of the tadpoles may be concentrated due to the amphibian special species and internal metabolism. In contrast, lgBCFs for PCBs were inversely related to lgKow, suggesting that a metabolism of the higher Kow PCB congeners occurred. These results support the author＇s conclusion that the tadpole Xenopus laevis plays major roles in the bioconcentration of PCB congeners, and demonstrated that the exposure kinetic curves of PCB congeners are complex. Besides the amphibian metamorphous development, the lifecycle of the tadpole Xenopus laevis also may be of importance in determining the bioconcentration of PCB congeners.     

医疗废物焚烧过程脱硫机理和试验

医疗废物中包括含有硫分的橡胶,焚烧时会产生SO2从而污染环境,因此医疗废物在焚烧处理时需要进行脱硫。应用HSC热力学软件计算可知,医疗废物焚烧炉内喷入脱硫剂在燃烧过程脱硫,脱硫效果最好的脱硫剂是CaO,然后是Ca(OH)2,CaCO3。综合各种因素,选用CaCO3做脱硫剂进行焚烧过程脱硫试验。试验结果表明:温度对脱硫有着重要的影响,最佳脱硫温度为830～870℃左右;随着Ca/S摩尔比的增大脱硫率增大,但增加的速度却趋于平缓,所得最佳Ca/S摩尔比为2.5。

为研究成都市臭氧(O3)污染特征及其气象成因,对2014—2016年成都市6个国控环境监测站和同期气象台站逐小时地面观测数据进行了研究分析.结果表明:近4年来成都市O3污染日趋严重,O3年均浓度不断上升,较2013年升高51.2μg·m-3.O3浓度存在明显的季节变化特征:春、夏季较高,秋、冬季则较低,且各季节O3浓度变化具有很强的长期持续性特征.O3浓度日变化特征呈明显的单峰型分布,8:00出现最低值,15:00—16:00出现峰值,超标时段主要出现在13:00—17:00.O3浓度变化与紫外辐射、气温呈正相关关系,与相对湿度、风速呈负相关关系,且当紫外辐射大于12 MJ·m-2、气温高于15℃、相对湿度低于65%、西风或偏东北风控制时,成都市容易发生高浓度O3污染.     

不同紫色母岩对景观水体氮磷及有机物去除的影响

选取重庆地区分布面积较广的蓬莱镇组(S1)、沙溪庙组(S2)、飞仙关组(S3)和遂宁组(S4)这4种不同紫色母岩,将其灭菌后加到未灭菌的取自西南大学崇德湖的景观水体中,进行生态缸构建,研究不同紫色母岩理化性质对水体中氮磷及有机物去除的影响.结果表明,实验条件下,S1组对水体总氮、总磷及氨氮去除效果最好,去除率分别为45.1%、62.3%、90.0%;S4组对水体中COD去除效果最好,去除率为94.5%;实验前后紫色母岩中氨氮含量变化均不明显,说明紫色母岩的吸附作用不是导致水体中氨氮下降的主要因素;砷对硫酸盐还原菌有抑制作用,铜、镁对革兰氏阴性菌有促进作用,水体中微生物多样性与总氮含量正相关;微生物群落结构与环境因子的PCA分析得出母岩通过释放矿质元素影响水体中微生物群落结构及组成,从而影响水体氮磷及有机物去除.
