Source emissions and climate change impacts on the multimedia transport and fate of persistent organic pollutants, Chaohu watershed, eastern China

Emission intensity and climate change control the transport flux and fate of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in multiple environmental compartments. This study applied a multimedia model (BETR model) to explore alternations in the spatio-temporal trends of concentrations and transport flux of benzopyrene (BaP), phenanthrene (Phe), perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the Chaohu watershed, located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China in response to changes in source emissions and climate. The potential historic and future risks of these pollutants also were assessed. The results suggest that current trends in concentrations and transport were similar to that of their emissions between 2005 and 2018. During the next 100 years, temporal trends and spatial patterns were not predicted to change significantly, which is consistent with climate change. Based on sensitivity and correlation analyses, climate change had significant effects on multi-media concentrations and transport fluxes of BaP, Phe, PFOS and PCBs, and rainfall intensity was the predominant controlling factor. Risk quotients (RQs) of BaP and Phe-in soil increased from 0.42 to 0.95 and 0.06 to 0.35, respectively, from 2005 to 2090, indicating potential risks. The RQs of the other examined contaminants exhibited little potential risk in soil, water, or sediment. Based on spatial patterns, it was inferred that the ecosystem around Lake Chaohu is the most at risk. The study provides insights needed for local pollution control of POPs in the Chaohu watershed. In addition, the developed approach can be applied to other watersheds world-wide.     

电缆细菌对沉积物-水界面磷、铁、硫分布影响的室内模拟研究

电缆细菌的存在会改变沉积物-水界面的氧化还原环境,进而影响沉积物-水系统中磷、铁、硫的迁移转化过程.本研究选取存在电缆细菌的原位南沙河沉积物-水系统为研究对象,在暗处15℃下培养30 d,利用薄膜扩散梯度（DGT）技术获取了活性磷、活性硫和活性铁的2 mm分辨率剖面分布特征,并结合原位荧光杂交技术确定了电缆细菌的密度.结果表明：随着沉积深度的增加,间隙水活性磷、活性铁和活性硫均呈现出先增加后减小再趋于稳定的趋势,均值分别为0.743～1.017 mg·L^-1、0.383～0.954 mg·L^-1和0.033～0.141 mg·L^-1,且均有向上覆水释放的趋势.随着培养时间的延长,0～1 cm间隙水中活性磷含量呈先减小后增加的趋势,在第10 d达到最小,均值为0.604 mg·L^-1,1 cm以下间隙水中活性磷含量呈现逐渐增加的趋势,在第30 d达到最大,均值为1.090 mg·L^-1.0～10 cm间隙水中活性铁和活性硫含量呈现先增加后减小的趋势,在第10 d达到最大,均值分别...

汞胁迫对齿肋赤藓生物结皮细胞超微结构的影响

细胞器结构是生物细胞功能的基础,而重金属会对细胞器结构产生毒害效应,进而破坏生物的组织器官完整性及生理代谢功能,汞对生物结皮细胞器超微结构的影响尚未见报道。为探究汞胁迫对齿肋赤藓生物结皮叶肉细胞超微结构的影响,将叶肉细胞暴露于不同浓度的汞溶液中(0、10、20、30、40、50和60 mmol·L~(-1)),连续培养7 d,采用透射电镜技术观察叶肉细胞的变化。与对照组相比,汞浓度在20～60 mmol·L~(-1)时,齿肋赤藓生物结皮的细胞器超微结构随汞浓度增加逐渐发生变化,细胞壁逐渐模糊,出现质壁分离现象,液泡出现一定的空泡化,叶绿体膜破损,类囊体、基粒及基质片层消失,细胞核解体及核仁消失。综上所述,齿肋赤藓生物结皮在低汞浓度时可维持有机体免受毒害,表明齿肋赤藓生物结皮有一定的重金属胁迫耐性,但超过阈值(20 mmol·L~(-1))时,出现汞胁迫伤害,且随汞浓度增加,胁迫毒害效应加剧。本研究结果可为干旱区非维管植物(齿肋赤藓)适应重金属胁迫环境理论及抗性物种培养提供参考。     

Benefit–risk assessment of commonly consumed fish species from South China Sea based on methyl mercury and DHA

Even though a growing number of reports indicated favorable health effects with fish consumption, kinds of hazardous substances in fish were detected in fish and to be exceeded advisory limitation. Benefit–risk assessment of commonly consumed fish is urgently needed. We conducted fish consumption survey and fish sampling in the coast of South China Sea to assess benefit–risk effect of commonly consumed fish species. For local residents, weekly methyl mercury (MeHg) exposures from commonly consumed fish species ranged from 0.12 to 2.11 μg/kg bw. Apart from Muraenesox cinereus and Acanthopagrus latus, the rest of 92% (23/25) fish species were at low risk of MeHg exposure. Daily docosahexaenoic acid intakes via consuming specific fish were between 42.18 and 1687.04 mg/day. A total of 72% (18/25) fish species could provide 200 mg/day of DNA for local residents. Benefit–risk assessment assuming intelligence quotient (IQ) score model showed net IQ point gains between 1.53 and 5.65 points with consuming various fish species, indicative of large distinction of health benefit from various fish species. This study suggests commonly consumed fish species from China South Sea could bring much more positive effect than negative effect. Species-specific fish should be considered when providing recommendations of fish consumption. Muraenesox cinereus and Acanthopagrus latus should be minded with risk of MeHg exposure in taking large amounts.

     

不同约束方式下钢筋混凝土短柱火灾后(下)力学性能的试验研究

为研究钢筋混凝土短柱在相邻构件约束条件下,并经荷载和火灾共同作用后的力学性能,开展了18根受不同约束方式作用的钢筋混凝土短柱火灾后(下)力学性能的试验研究。获得了火灾后(下)钢筋混凝土短柱的剩余承载力、剩余轴压刚度、荷载—轴向变形关系曲线,分析讨论了约束方式、标准升温时间及荷载比等对火灾后钢筋混凝土短柱力学性能的影响。研究结果表明,火灾下和火灾后钢筋混凝土柱试件的破坏模式类似,但后者的混凝土表面裂纹以及剥落较前者严重;不论是火灾下还是火灾后,恒刚度约束的试件破坏较恒荷载约束严重;且恒荷载约束条件下得到的试件耐火极限大于恒刚度约束条件下得到的耐火极限。
