Marine mussels (Mytilus edulis) were exposed to seawater spiked with tritiated water (HTO) at a dose rate of 122 and 79 μGy h−1 for 7 and 14 days, respectively, and tritiated glycine (T-Gly) at a dose rate of 4.9 μGy h−1 over 7 days. This was followed by depuration in clean seawater for 21 days. Tissues (foot, gills, digestive gland, mantle, adductor muscle and byssus) and DNA extracts from tissues were analysed for their tritium activity concentrations. All tissues demonstrated bio-accumulation of tritium from HTO and T-Gly. Tritium from T-Gly showed increased incorporation into DNA compared to HTO. About 90% of the initial activity from HTO was depurated within one day, whereas T-Gly was depurated relatively slowly, indicating that tritium may be bound with different affinities in tissues. Both forms of tritium caused a significant induction of micronuclei in the haemocytes of mussels. Our findings identify significant differential impacts on Mytilus edulis of the two chemical forms of tritium and emphasise the need for a separate classification and control of releases of tritiated compounds, to adequately protect the marine ecosystem. 相似文献

Debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ether-99 (BDE-99) in carp (Cyprinus carpio) microflora and microsomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Based on previous findings in dietary studies with carp (Cyprinus carpio), we investigated the mechanism of 2,2',4,4',5-pentabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-99) debromination to 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) using liver and intestinal components. In vitro aerobic and anaerobic experiments tested the ability of carp intestinal microflora to debrominate BDE-99. No debromination of BDE-99 to BDE-47 was observed in microfloral samples; therefore, carp enzymatic pathways were assessed for debromination ability. After sixty-min incubation, intestine and liver microsomes exhibited 83+/-34% and 106+/-18% conversions, respectively, of BDE-99 to BDE-47; with no significant (p>0.05) difference between organ debromination capabilities. Microsomal incubations with BDE-99, enzyme cofactors and competing substrates assessed the potential mechanisms of debromination. The presence of NADPH in the microsomal assay did not significantly (p>0.05) affect BDE-99 debromination, which suggest that cytochrome P450 enzymes are not the main debrominating pathway for BDE-99. Co-incubation of BDE-99 spiked microsomes with reverse thyronine (rT3) significantly (p<0.05) decreased the debromination capacity of intestinal microsomes indicating the potential of catalytic mediation via thyroid hormone deiodinases. The significant findings of this study are that intestinal microflora are not responsible for BDE-99 debromination, however, it is an endogenous process which occurs with approximately equal activity in intestine and liver microsomes and it can be inhibited by rT3. 相似文献

The objective of the study was to develop a low cost and environmentally friendly liner system for a landfill bioreactor to
harness energy from waste. The landfill bioreactor test cell was constructed and evaluated for performance under dry tropical
conditions of Sri Lanka. The research was carried out from March 2009 to September 2010. The clay-waste polyethylene-clay
composite liner system was developed and permeability was tested. The permeability values of the liner under both saturated
and unsaturated conditions at the high estimated hydraulic head of 86.2 cm were in between 6.3 × 10−8 and 2.6 × 10−8 cm/s. The permeability of the liner under waste filled condition varied between 2.17 × 10−9 and 8.15 × 10−9 cm/s, which satisfies the standard permeability value. Thus, the results were below the minimum requirement at very high
estimated leachate head. After loading the test cell, leachate and permeate characteristics were analyzed for 273 days, from
January 2010 to September 2010. The study showed the relationships among various parameters including pH, electrical permeability,
chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, total solids, volatile solids, total suspended
solids and volatile suspended solids. The results of the analysis indicated that there are significant differences in the
values of leachate and permeate parameters. The permeate parameters had values very much lower than those of leachate. It
reveals that the clay-waste polyethylene-clay composite liner system reduced the concentration of these parameters when the
leachate passed through the liner. The biofilm formed in waste polyethylene within the liner may have degraded most of organic
materials found in the leachate when it passed through the liner. Therefore, the clay-waste polyethylene-clay composite liner
system can be applied for full scale landfill bioreactors, particularly for Asian developing countries, due to better performance
and more environmentally friendly characteristics. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: One component of the filamentous algal community of a northern fen ecosystem in central Michigan was studied under conditions of nutrient enrichment by secondarily treated sewage effluent during one growing season. The productivity of Cladophora spp. measured by continuous flow bioassay was 2.6 g dry weight m day at the site of effluent addition compared to 0.085 g m day at the control site. Under conditions of nutrient enrichment, uptake by bioassay Cladophora spp. averaged 12 mg m?2day?1for phosphorus and 55 mg m?2day?1for nitrogen, compared to 0.01 mg m?2 day?1and 0.16 mg m?2day?1for phosphorus and nitrogen, respectively, in the control area. At the end of the growing season approximately 4.3 g N m?2 and 0.96 g P m?2were immobilized in Cladophora algal biomass. Algal growth temporarily immobilized 3.0 percent of the nitrogen and 1.0 percent of the phosphorus added as sewage effluent. Gross productivity of surface water in the fen averaged 1.5 g O2m?2day?1at the nutrient enriched site, compared to 0.5 g O2 m?2day?1at the control area. Gross productivity, community respiration and reaeration constant values in the fen were similar to data collected by other researchers in shallow water aquatic systems, but only at the fertilized sites. 相似文献

Results from no-choice field and greenhouse studies established an inverse relationship between plant trichome density in cotton and the level of successful attacks on Heliothis zea (Boddie) eggs by the parasite, Trichogramma pretiosum (Riley) and the predator, Chrysopa rufilabris (Burmeister). Thus, plant damage from H. zea can be reduced on glabrous cotton phenotypes due to antixenosis and increased entomophage effectiveness compared to hirsute and pilose phenotypes. Studies by other scientists which demonstrate interactions of natural enemies with host-plant resistance in cotton are also discussed. Symbiotic relationships between the host-plant and its associated predator/parasitoid complex may significantly influence the expression of host-plant resistance in cotton. Scientists involved in programs for development of host-plant resistant cultivars are encouraged to utilize sources of resistance which increase effectiveness of key natural enemies of the major pest species. 相似文献

The study used a combination of fairly standard and often overlapping participatory tools and techniques as well as SWOT analysis in the context of the sustainable livelihoods approach (SLA), which is emerging as a potentially useful way of looking at policies and institutions to address poverty. The adoption of fisheries co-management in Aby Lagoon in Cote d'Ivoire has contributed to improving the sense of ownership, empowerment and access of fishers and other stakeholders to resources. The fishers and other stakeholders attest that the arrangement has also contributed in enhancing the sustainable livelihoods and coping mechanisms against the incidence of poverty in the communities. Fishers would like legal empowerment to enforce fisheries regulations devised by themselves and also assistance to improve their work in collection of information and adaptive research upon which to base their plans. The co-management arrangement in Aby Lagoon is still evolving. However, the study testifies to the existence of many competent actors and to a great wealth and depth of relevant experience and lessons which other actors involved in poverty reduction strategies in small-scale fishing communities can draw on. 相似文献

Three investigations into the physical and chemical fate of fluorides in plants yielded immediately useful information and suggested lines of additional fruitful study. Reported here, two deal with effects of environmental conditions on fluoride uptake from the atmosphere, and a third considers a possible effect of internal fluorides on cell wall permeability. 相似文献

Copper contaminated areas pose environmental health risk to living organisms. Remediation processes are thus required for both crop production and industrial activities. This study employed bioaugmentation with copper resistant bacteria to improve phytoremediation of vineyard soils and copper mining waste contaminated with high copper concentrations. Oatmeal plant (Avena sativa L.) was used for copper phytoextraction. Three copper resistant bacterial isolates from oatmeal rhizosphere (Pseudomonas putida A1; Stenotrophomonas maltophilia A2 and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus A6) were used for the stimulation of copper phytoextraction. Two long-term copper contaminated vineyard soils (Mollisol and Inceptisol) and copper mining waste from Southern Brazil were evaluated. Oatmeal plants substantially extracted copper from vineyard soils and copper mining waste. As much as 1549 mg of Cu kg?1 dry mass was extracted from plants grown in Inceptisol soil. The vineyard Mollisol copper uptake (55 mg Cu kg?1 of dry mass) in the shoots was significantly improved upon inoculation of oatmeal plants with isolate A2 (128 mg of Cu kg?1 of shoot dry mass). Overall oatmeal plant biomass displayed higher potential of copper phytoextraction with inoculation of rhizosphere bacteria in vineyard soil to the extent that 404 and 327 g ha?1 of copper removal were respectively observed in vineyard Mollisol bioaugmented with isolate A2 (S. maltophilia) and isolate A6 (A. calcoaceticus). Results suggest potential application of bacterial stimulation of phytoaccumulation of copper for biological removal of copper from contaminated areas. 相似文献
