Nanoplastics are widely distributed in freshwater environments, but few studies have addressed their effects on freshwater algae, especially on harmful algae. In this study, the effects of polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics on Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) growth, as well as microcystin (MC) production and release, were investigated over the whole growth period. The results show that PS nanoplastics caused a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on M. aeruginosa growth and a dose-dependent increase in the aggregation rate peaking at 60.16% and 46.34%, respectively, when the PS nanoplastic concentration was 100 mg/L. This caused significant growth of M. aeruginosa with a specific growth rate up to 0.41 d?1 (50 mg/L PS nanoplastics). After a brief period of rapid growth, the tested algal cells steadily grew. In addition, the increase in PS nanoplastics concentration promoted the production and release of MC. When the PS nanoplastic concentration was 100 mg/L, the content of the intracellular (intra-) and extracellular (extra-) MC increased to 199.1 and 166.5 μg/L, respectively, on day 26, which was 31.4% and 31.1% higher, respectively, than the control. Our results provide insights into the action mechanism of nanoplastics on harmful algae and the potential risks to freshwater environments.

为了解不同大气污染程度下大气细颗粒物中水溶性化合物和含碳物质的污染特征,使用瑞士万通850 professional IC型色谱仪和Model 2001热光碳分析仪分别对2015年南京北郊冬季清洁、轻/中度污染和重度污染程度下的水溶性离子、OC(有机碳)和EC(元素碳)进行了分析.结果表明,重度污染中PM_(2.5)日平均浓度为清洁天的4.0倍,SO_4~(2-)、NO_3~-和NH_4~+这3种主要二次离子平均浓度则分别为清洁天的6.4、3.1和3.9倍,且它们均以(NH_4)_2SO_4和NH_4NO_3的形式存在于清洁天和污染天中.两种呈酸性的污染天均主要受流动源影响.OC与EC的最高浓度均出现在重度污染天,分别达到49.8μg·m~(-3)和10.3μg·m~(-3).清洁天中SOC平均浓度最低(4.28μg·m~(-3)),但SOC占OC质量分数却高于另外两种污染天(41.14%).通过碳组分丰度值发现燃煤燃烧和汽油车尾气排放是观测期间内碳质颗粒物的共同主要贡献源. 相似文献
采用碱活化过一硫酸盐(peroxymonosulfate,PMS)对环丙沙星(ciprofloxacin,CIP)的去除进行了系统地研究.结果表明,碱活化PMS体系能够高效地去除CIP.通过自由基捕获实验确定了单线态氧(~1O_2)和超氧自由基(O_2~-·)是反应体系中的主要活性物种.NaOH浓度、PMS浓度、反应温度和共存阴离子等对CIP在碱活化PMS体系中的去除均有一定影响.随着NaOH和PMS浓度的增加,CIP的降解均呈现出先增加后降低的趋势.提高反应温度能够加大CIP的反应速率,经过阿伦尼乌斯方程拟合得到的反应活化能为5.09 k J·mol~(-1).不同的阴离子对CIP的去除呈现不同的影响:Cl~-、SO_4~(2-)和NO_3~-对CIP的降解没有呈现明显的作用,H_2PO_4~(2-)能够有效地抑制环丙沙星的去除,而CO_3~(2-)极大地促进了反应进程.通过UPLC-MS/MS可检测到10种降解产物,CIP分子结构中的哌嗪环易于受到活性物种的攻击. 相似文献
