Selenium for the mitigation of toxicity induced by lead in chicken testes through regulating mRNA expressions of HSPs and selenoproteins

Lead (Pb) is a toxic element and environmental pollutant. Pb toxicity and antagonistic effect of selenium (Se) on Pb have been deeply studied in mammals. The testis is one of the target organs of Pb in birds. The aim of this study was to investigate the mitigating effect of Se on Pb toxicity in chicken testes by determining messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions of 5 heat shock proteins (HSPs) and 25 selenoproteins. Sixty male chickens (7-day-old) were randomly divided into the control group, the Se group, the Pb group, and the Pb + Se group, and were fed for 90 days. The feeding methods of chickens were as follows: The control group was fed drinking water and commercial diet (0.49 mg/kg Se). Lead acetate was added into the drinking water (350 mg/L Pb). Sodium selenite was added into the commercial diet (1 mg/kg Se). Multivariate correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to define the relationships among all the measured factors and the most important parameters that could be used as key factors, respectively. The results indicated that Se decreased the increase of mRNA expressions of all the HSPs and increased the decrease of mRNA expressions of all the selenoproteins induced by Pb in the chicken testes. HSP70 may be a biomarker of Pb poisoning in the chicken testes. Se alleviated Pb-induced toxicity in the chicken testes through regulating mRNA expressions of HSPs and selenoproteins.

     

加热与酸化与芬顿试剂对乳化液处理效果的研究

乳化液废水含有大量表面活性剂,化学性质稳定,给处理带来很大难度。为解决乳化液处理困难的问题,我们以某电子制造商产生的乳化液废水为研究对象,采取加热酸化-Fenton氧化开展处理研究,意在解决实际工程中乳化液废水处理困难的问题,同时为乳化液废水处理在技术上提供新的思路。在加热酸化-Fenton氧化处理中,由于乳化液稳定性极好,传统酸化破乳效果不理想,将加热用于酸化破乳,油水分离效果明显,在加酸量1.0 mL 98%H2SO4/100mL乳化液、加热温度95℃、加热时间1h条件下,加热酸化破乳使初始COD20万mg/L,浊度8000 NTU的乳化液废水COD降到46592mg/L,浊度降到20 NTU以下,COD和浊度的去除率分别达90.7%和97.5%以上;由于破乳后的废水仍具有很高的COD浓度,因此采取Fenton氧化进一步处理,在ρFe2+/ρH2O2=1∶30、ρH2O2/ρCOD=1.4、初始pH=4的条件下,经处理后的出水COD可降到18600 mg/L,去除率达61.4%,其B/C可由破乳后的0.11提高到0.3,废水的可生化性大大提高,为后续进一步处理提供可能。     

In situ preparation of visible-light-driven carbon quantum dots/NaBiO3 hybrid materials for the photoreduction of Cr(VI)

In this study, different carbon quantum dots (CQDs)/NaBiO₃ hybrid materials were synthesized as photocatalysts to effectively utilize visible light for the photocatalytic degradation of contaminants effectively. These hybrid materials exhibit an enhanced photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in the aqueous medium. Zero-dimensional nanoparticles of CQDs were embedded within the two-dimensional NaBiO₃ nanosheets by the hydrothermal process. Compared with that of the pure NaBiO₃ nanosheets, the photocatalytic performance of the hybrid catalysts was significantly high and 6 wt.% CQDs/NaBiO₃ catalyst exhibited better photocatalytic performance. We performed the first-principles density functional theory calculations to study the interfacial properties of pure NaBiO₃ nanosheets and hybrid photocatalysts, and confirmed the CQDs played an important role in the CQDs/NaBiO₃ composites. The experimental results indicated that the enhanced reduction of Cr(VI) was probably due to the high loading of CQDs (electron acceptor) on NaBiO_3, which made NaBiO₃ nanomaterials to respond in visible light and significantly improved their electron-hole separation efficiency.     

基于空气质量模式和数学规划模型的城市PM2.5达标策略——以临汾为例

为了改善城市空气质量,降低PM_2.5浓度,需要制定科学的控制策略,同时兼顾污染物减排量与减排成本效益.本文基于区域大气环境模型RegAEMS与数学规划模型,采用多目标遗传算法,探究城市大气PM_2.5污染的最优控制策略,并应用于临汾市（14类行业源、17个区域源）的PM_2.5浓度达标规划,实现污染物排放量最大和减排成本最小的双目标优化.结果表明,在PM_2.5平均浓度近200 μg/m³的重污染天气条件下,为达到PM_2.5浓度目标（75μg/m³）,临汾市最大污染物允许排放量为356.7t/d,最小减排成本为3.36亿元.NO_x、SO₂、NH₃、VOCs和一次颗粒物的减排量分别为98.1,49.9,44.3,155.7和105.5t/d,减排成本分别为11.7,6.8,6.2,5.5和3.5千万元.对VOCs、NO_x、PM_2.5、NH₃和SO₂减排潜力最大的行业分别为焦化源、移动源、扬尘源、农业源和民用燃烧源,分别占所有行业5种污染物减排量的21.6%、14.1%、11%、8.6%和3.8%.钢铁行业的减排成本最高（39%）;襄汾县的减排量最大,减排成本最高（达7218万元）.     

铅大气污染物环境保护标准限值研究

铅因其对公众健康的影响,其大气污染物标准限值的合理性倍受关注.论文对比分析了国内外铅大气污染物环境质量与排放标准,通过计算提出基于保护环境空气质量的排放标准理论限值及建议限值.分析发现,目前国际上铅环境空气质量标准浓度限值为0.00015～0.0015 mg·m~(-3),但多采用世界卫生组织(WHO)的年均浓度限值0.0005 mg·m~(-3);建议我国今后修订标准时对铅年均浓度和季均浓度限值进一步加严.与发达国家相比,我国铅环境空气质量季均浓度限值水平已显落后;国际上目前各类排放源铅大气污染物排放浓度限值在0.04～2 mg·m~(-3)之间,金属冶炼源等主要源的排放浓度限值在1～2 mg·m~(-3),其他排放源均在0.5 mg·m~(-3)以下;我国铅、锌熔炼源正在执行的排放浓度限值(8 mg·m~(-3))较为宽松,而其他源的铅大气排放浓度限值与国际上的限值基本一致.通过计算认为,保护公众健康的铅大气污染物的理论排放限值为1.2～2.4 mg·m~(-3).考虑到我国的经济技术水平,建议铅、锌熔炼源的铅大气污染物新建企业排放浓度限值为2 mg·m~(-3);其他源的新建企业排放浓度建议限值为0.5 mg·m~(-3).经过过渡期,现有企业应达到新建企业的排放控制要求.铅的企业边界浓度排放限值是保护企业边界附近公众健康的有效屏障,但鉴于铅的污染特性,对于具体建设项目应加强环评力度,提出更具体明确的排放控制要求,并加强对企业周边环境敏感点的环境监测等,采取综合措施保护公众健康.     

海拔梯度上川西高山土壤溶解性有机质(DOM)光谱特征

采用三维激发发射矩阵荧光光谱、平行因子分析（EEM-PARAFAC）和荧光区域积分方法（FRI）,研究川西高原3200~4000m高寒土壤DOM特征及其在海拔梯度上变化规律.结果表明,高寒土壤DOC含量为0.47~0.81g/kg,随着海拔梯度的升高而呈增加趋势,表层土中含量多高于亚表层土;土壤中DOM组分均呈5个组分,即芳香蛋白类物质I（酪氨酸类,Peak I）、芳香蛋白类物质II（BOD₅,Peak II）、富里酸类（Peak III）、微生物代谢产物（色氨酸类,Peak IV）和腐殖酸类（大分子腐殖酸,Peak V）;高山土壤DOM中以富里酸类有机质和腐殖酸类有机质组分为主,FRI值均随着海拔的升高而降低..川西高山土壤DOM荧光特征参数（荧光指数FI、自生源指数BIX、腐殖化指数HIX、新鲜度指数β：α）表明,土壤DOM的稳定性随着海拔升高而降低,生物有效性随着海拔升高而升高.因此,气候变暖可能将导致高海拔土壤DOM分解加剧而含量降低,但稳定性升高.
