Dynamic air sampling of volatile organic compounds using solid phase microextraction

A new dynamic air sampling system was devised and evaluated in conjunction with solid phase microextraction (SPME) fiber materials for extracting odor-causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in swine building environments. Utilizing a standard solution consisting of 11 compounds (i.e., volatile fatty acids, indoles, and phenol), sampling times, volumes, and flow rates were adjusted to establish optimal extraction conditions. Results indicated that the sampling system was effective with the Carboxen/Polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) fiber in extracting all 11 standard compounds. The best sampling conditions for the extraction were a 100-mL sampling vial subjected to a continuous flow of 100 mL/min for 60 min. The gas chromatographic analysis showed that the reproducibility was within acceptable ranges for all compounds (RSD=4.24-17.26% by peak areas). In addition, field tests revealed that the sampling system was capable of detecting over 60 VOCs in a swine house whose major components were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and by their retention times as volatile fatty acids, phenols, indole, and skatole. The field tests also showed that considerably different levels of VOCs were present in various parts of the swine building.     

Model development for nutrient loading estimates from paddy rice fields in Korea

A field experiment was performed to evaluate water and nutrient balances in paddy rice culture operations during 2001-2002. The water balance analysis indicated that about half (50-60%) of the total outflow was lost by surface drainage, with the remainder occurring by evapotranspiration (490-530 mm). The surface drainage from paddy fields was mainly caused by rainfall and forced-drainage, and in particular, the runoff during early rice culture periods depends more on the forced-drainage due to fertilization practices. Most of the total phosphorus (T-P) inflow was supplied by fertilization at transplanting, while the total nitrogen (T-N) inflow was supplied by the three fertilizations, precipitation. and from the upper paddy field, which comprised 13-33% of the total inflow. Although most of the nutrient outflow was attributed to plant uptake. nutrient loss by surface drainage was substantial, comprising 20% for T-N and 10% for T-P. Water and nutrient balances indicate that reduction of surface drainage from paddy rice fields is imperative for nonpoint source pollution control. The simplified computer model, PADDIMOD, was developed to simulate water and nutrient (T-N and T-P) behavior in the paddy rice field. The model predicts daily ponded water depth, surface drainage, and nutrient concentrations. It was formulated with a few equations and simplified assumptions, but its application and a model fitness test indicated that the simulation results reasonably matched the observed data. It is a simple and convenient planning model that could be used to evaluate BMPs of paddy rice fields alone or in combination with other complex watershed models. Application of the PADDIMOD to other paddy rice fields with different agricultural environments might require further calibration and validation.

NO对Cd2+胁迫下绿豆幼苗DNA及光合作用的影响

以绿豆幼苗为材料,研究了外源一氧化氮(NO)处理对Cd~(2+)胁迫3天和8天时幼苗叶片和根系DNA含量、DNA链间交联程度以及叶片光合参数的影响。结果表明:单独Cd~(2+)胁迫导致叶片和根系DNA含量降低,DNA链间交联程度增加,叶片净光合速率、气孔导度和胞间隙CO2浓度降低,气孔限制值升高;与单独Cd~(2+)胁迫相比,NO和Cd~(2+)复合处理提高了叶片和根系DNA含量,降低了DNA链间交联程度,同时使叶片净光合速率和气孔导度升高,而使胞间隙CO2浓度和气孔限制值降低。结果说明,NO能缓解Cd~(2+)胁迫对绿豆幼苗DNA结构及其代谢的影响;Cd~(2+)胁迫抑制绿豆幼苗光合作用的主要原因是气孔因素,而NO主要通过提高幼苗叶片非气孔因素缓解了Cd~(2+)胁迫对幼苗光合作用的抑制。     

Characteristics of odorous carbonyl compounds in the ambient air around a fishery industrial complex of Yeosu, Korea

In this study,the amounts of odorous carbonyl compounds(OCCs) including acetaldehyde(Acet-A),propionaldehyde(Pron-A),butylaldehyde(Buty-A),iso-valeric aldehyde(Iso-Vale-A) and n-valeric aldehyde(N-Vale-A) emitted from a fishery industrial complex near the exhibition facilities of "Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea" were measured.Acet-A was found to be the most abundant OCC,and the total concentrations of the OCCs were the highest in the summer.However,due to vehicular exhaust and photochemical reactions,the concentrations of some of the OCCs presented their highest levels in the fall.A significant correlation between Acet-A and Buty-A was found at the major fishery facilities(r = 0.816,p = 1.87E-15,n = 60) and at the border areas(r = 0.809,p = 3.40E-12,n = 48) of this fishery industrial complex.The concentrations of OCCs at the border areas were not worse than those at the urban areas in other places,indicating that the concentrations of ambient OCCs at the border areas were not greatly influenced by manmade activities.

Biomarkers indicate mixture toxicities of fluorene and phenanthrene with endosulfan toward earthworm (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Eisenia fetida</Emphasis>)

α-Endosulfan and some polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAHs) are persistent in the environment and can reach crop products via contaminated agricultural soils. They may even be present as mixtures in the soil and induce mixture toxicity in soil organisms such as earthworms. In this study, the combined toxicities of PAHs with α-endosulfan were determined in Eisenia fetida adults using an artificial soil system. α-Endosulfan and five PAHs were tested for their acute toxicity toward E. fetida in artificial soils. Only α-endosulfan, fluorene, and phenanthrene showed acute toxicities, with LC₅₀ values of 9.7, 133.2, and 86.2 mg kg^?1, respectively. A mixture toxicity assay was conducted using α-endosulfan at LC₁₀ and fluorene or phenanthrene at LC₅₀ in the artificial soils. Upon exposure to the mixture of fluorene and α-endosulfan, earthworms were killed in increasing numbers owing to their synergistic effects, while no other mixture showed any additional toxicity toward the earthworms. Along with the acute toxicity results, the biochemical and molecular changes in the fluorene- and phenanthrene-treated earthworms with or without α-endosulfan treatment demonstrated that enhancement of glutathione S-transferase activity was dependent on the addition of PAH chemicals, and the HSP70 gene expression increased with the addition of α-endosulfan. Taken together, these findings contribute toward understanding the adverse effects of pollutants when present separately or in combination with other types of chemicals.
