Genotoxicity study of phenol and o-cresol using the micronucleus test and the comet assay

Phenol and cresols are common toxic environmental pollutants. In this study, the micronucleus assay and the alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) technique have been used to investigate the genotoxic activity of phenol and o-cresol. The result of experiments revealed that phenol and o-cresol were both evident genotoxins, and the genotoxic activity of o-cresol was stronger. In the micronucleus assay, phenol and o-cresol could both cause a significant increase in the micronucleus (MN) frequencies (p?p?p?p?相似文献

Effects of seasonal climatic variability on several toxic contaminants in urban lakes: Implications for the impacts of climate change

Climate change is supposed to have influences on water quality and ecosystem. However, only few studies have assessed the effect of climate change on environmental toxic contaminants in urban lakes. In this research, response of several toxic contaminants in twelve urban lakes in Beijing, China, to the seasonal variations in climatic factors was studied. Fluorides, volatile phenols, arsenic, selenium, and other water quality parameters were analyzed monthly from2009 to 2012. Multivariate statistical methods including principle component analysis, cluster analysis, and multiple regression analysis were performed to study the relationship between contaminants and climatic factors including temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and sunshine duration. Fluoride and arsenic concentrations in most urban lakes exhibited a significant positive correlation with temperature/precipitation, which is mainly caused by rainfall induced diffuse pollution. A negative correlation was observed between volatile phenols and temperature/precipitation, and this could be explained by their enhanced volatilization and biodegradation rates caused by higher temperature. Selenium did not show a significant response to climatic factor variations, which was attributed to low selenium contents in the lakes and soils. Moreover, the response degrees of contaminants to climatic variations differ among lakes with different contamination levels. On average, temperature/precipitation contributed to 8%, 15%, and 12% of the variations in volatile phenols, arsenic, and fluorides,respectively. Beijing is undergoing increased temperature and heavy rainfall frequency during the past five decades. This study suggests that water quality related to fluoride and arsenic concentrations of most urban lakes in Beijing is becoming worse under this climate change trend.

Photo-induced transformations of Hg(Ⅱ) species in the presence of Nitzschia hantzschiana,ferric ion,and humic acid

Effects of algae Nitzschia hantzschiana, Fe(Ⅲ) ions, humic acid, and pH on the photochemical reduction of Hg(Ⅱ) using the irradiation of metal halide lamps (λ 365 nm, 250 W) were investigated. The photoreduction rate of Hg(Ⅱ) was found to increase with increasing concentrations of algae, Fe(Ⅲ) ions, and humic acid. Alteration of pH value affected the photoreduction of Hg(Ⅱ) in aqueous solution with or without algae. The photoreduction rate of Hg(II) decreased with increasing initial Hg(Ⅱ) concentration in aqueous solution in the presence of algae. The photochemical kinetics of initial Hg(Ⅱ) and algae concentrations on the photoreduction of Hg(Ⅱ) were studied at pH 7.0. The study on the total Hg mass balance in terms of photochemical process revealed that more than 42% of Hg(Ⅱ) from the algal suspension was reduced to volatile metallic Hg under the conditions investigated.     

Perchlorate in sewage sludge, rice, bottled water and milk collected from different areas in China

As a new emerging environmental contaminant, perchlorate has prompted people to pay more attention. The presence of perchlorate in the human body can result in improper regulation of metabolism for adults. Furthermore, it also causes developmental and behavioral problems for infants and children because it can interfere with iodide uptake into the thyroid tissue. In this paper, perchlorate in sewage sludge, rice, bottled drinking water and milk was detected for investigating the perchlorate pollution status in China. The places, where the samples were collected, cover most regions of China. Therefore, the final data on perchlorate levels will give an indication of the perchlorate pollution status in China. The final determination of perchlorate was performed by ion chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry with negative mode. The concentration of perchlorate in sewage sludge, rice, bottled drinking water and milk was in the range of 0.56-379.9 microg/kg, 0.16-4.88 mug/kg, 0.037-2.013 microg/L and 0.30-9.1 microg/L, respectively. The results show that perchlorate has been widespread in China.     

紫外光谱法测定苯酚与苯胺和对苯二酚

苯酚、苯胺和对苯二酚在紫外区具有吸收。文章采用紫外光谱法,分别对苯酚、笨胺和对苯二酚不同浓度的溶液进行紫外扫描,结果表明苯酚、苯胺和对苯二酚的最大吸收波长分别为269.9 nm,280.30 nm,289.40 nm,对于同种物质不同浓度的溶液,其最大吸收波长相同;波长一定的情况下,物质的浓度越高,吸光度越大。然后通过加和性试验,分别对40 mg/L苯酚溶液、30 mg/L苯胺溶液、50 mg/L对苯二酚溶液进行紫外线扫描,将其相应波长的吸光度加和,再对单组分浓度相同的三组分混合溶液进行扫描,将实际加和与理论加和相比较,得出三组分的吸光度具有加和性。     

中国超大城市不透水面扩张对对流层NO2柱浓度的影响

基于Aura卫星的臭氧检测仪(OMI)数据及Landsat卫星影像,分别分析了中国7座超大城市2005—2017年的对流层NO_2柱浓度(TroNO_2浓度)时空变化规律和不透水面扩张模式,并探讨了二者之间的联系,结果表明:①7座城市总体表现为TroNO_2浓度先升高后降低、高值区域先扩大后收缩甚至消失的趋势.变化存在显著的周期性,冬季浓度远高于夏季.②各城市不透水面面积分别扩张至120%～200%,扩张模式多表现为由中心向四周辐射式扩张,不透水面的空间分布和扩张趋势与TroNO_2浓度高度相关.③各城市市辖区TroNO_2浓度与不透水面覆盖率(ISC)呈高度正相关,二者冷热点空间分布规律一致,松散型、紧凑型、密集型、高度密集型市辖区的TroNO_2浓度均值依次增加,发生不透水面扩张的区域标准化TroNO_2指数呈上升趋势.④自然条件、经济产业结构、机动车尾气排放、重大赛会的举办及相关政策等因素均与TroNO_2浓度密切相关.     

甲基异噻唑琳酮对MBR出水微生物生长分泌特性及群落结构的影响

污水再生处理反渗透(RO)工艺已在国内外获得广泛应用,但膜污堵问题阻碍RO工艺的进一步推广.投加非氧化性抑菌剂是控制RO膜生物污堵的常用手段,能够抑制细菌生长,但对细菌代谢产物分泌特性的影响尚不清楚.本课题的前期研究表明,细菌的胞外多聚物(EPS)是导致反渗透膜生物污堵的重要因素,细菌数量并非导致RO膜污堵的主要原因.针对上述问题,本文系统考察了典型非氧化性抑菌剂——甲基异噻唑啉酮(MIT)对RO系统进水(MBR出水)微生物的生长特性、群落结构及分泌特性的影响.研究发现,随MIT浓度增加,微生物生长迟滞期明显增长,但稳定期生物量增加;放线菌门、放线菌纲、类节杆菌属相对丰度明显增加;微生物分泌产物胞外多聚物(EPS)浓度增加,可能加重RO膜污堵潜势.上述结果表明,在污水再生处理反渗透系统中,MIT高浓度、长时间间隔的冲击式投加可能不利于膜污堵控制.
