Degradation and detoxification of acetochlor in soils treated by organic and thiosulfate amendments

This work investigated the degradation and detoxification of acetochlor in a soil amended with an organic fertilizer or sodium thiosulfate (STS). Over an incubation period of 28 d, the residual acetochlor was measured, soil dehydrogenase activity was determined, and major degradates were identified. Results show that high-concentration acetochlor was persistent in the soil, as indicated by the depression in soil dehydrogenase activity. When the soil was amended with the organic fertilizer, the soil dehydrogenase activity was stimulated by supplemented nutrients, which resulted in a higher degradation of acetochlor. While STS did not significantly stimulate the soil dehydrogenase activity, acetochlor degraded more rapidly in STS-amended soil than in organic-amended soil. The Wright-Hobbie plots show that the influence of initial acetochlor concentration on degradation was dependent on the amendments. While the organic amendment resulted in the same degradate of acetochlor ethanesulfonic acid as in unamended soil, the STS amendment produced dechlorinated acetochlor thiosulfonic acid. The degradation of acetochlor in organic- and STS-amended soils thus occurred via different mechanisms. Further tests show that both degradates were less toxic to green algae than acetochlor. Both organic and STS amendments thus effectively degrade and detoxify acetochlor in soils.     

Remediation mechanisms of mercapto-grafted palygorskite for cadmium pollutant in paddy soil

The immobilization agent was the key factor that determined the success of remediation of heavy metal polluted soil. In this study, mercapto-grafted palygorskite (MP) as a novel and efficient immobilization agent was utilized for the remediation of Cd-polluted paddy soil in pot trials, and the remediation mechanisms were investigated in the aspect of soil chemistry and plant physiology with different rice cultivars as model plants. Mercapto-grafted palygorskite at applied doses of 0.1–0.3% could reduce Cd contents of brown rice and straws of different cultivars significantly. Both reduced DTPA-extractable Cd contents in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil and decreasing Cd contents in iron plaques on rice root surfaces confirmed that MP was an efficient immobilization agent for Cd pollutant in paddy soil. In the aspect of soil chemistry, the pH values of rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils had no statistical changes in the MP treatment groups, but their zeta potentials decreased obviously, indicating that MP could enhance the fixation or sorption of Cd on soil compositions. In the aspect of antioxidant system, MP could increase POD activity of rice roots significantly to alleviate the stress of Cd to roots, and resulted in the decrease of T-AOC, SOD, and CAT activities of rice roots of the selected cultivars. MP had no inhabitation or enhancement effects on TSH of rice roots but enhance the contents of MTs and NPT to binding Cd to complete detoxification process. MP as a novel and efficient immobilization agent could complete the remediation effects through soil chemistry and plant physiological mechanisms.

     

Effects and mechanisms of meta-sodium silicate amendments on lead uptake and accumulation by rice

The objectives of this research were to study the effects of Na₂SiO₃ application on the uptake, translocation, and accumulation of Pb in rice and to investigate the mechanisms of Pb immobilization by Na₂SiO₃ in paddy rice soils and rice plants. Pot experiments were conducted using a Cd-Pb-Zn-polluted soil and Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica cv. Donglian 5. L₃-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy was used to identify Pb species in soils and roots. The results showed that the application of Na₂SiO₃ increased soil pH and available soil Si but decreased DTPA-extractable Pb in the soil. High dose of Na₂SiO₃ (12.5 g/kg) reduced the Pb level in brown rice as it inhibited Pb transfer from soil to rice grains, especially Pb transfer from the root to the stem. The Pb X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopic analysis revealed that application of high dose of Na₂SiO₃ increased Pb-ferrihydrite and PbSiO₃ precipitates in the soil and in the root while it reduced Pb-humic acids (Pb-HAs) in the soil and Pb-pectin in the root. The decrease in Pb availability in the soil can be partly attributed to increase the precipitation of PbSiO₃ and the association of Pb²⁺ with Fe oxides in the soil. The inhibition of the root-to-stem translocation of Pb was partially due to the precipitation of PbSiO₃ on the root surfaces or inside the roots.     

烟粉虱成虫的昼夜时空动态及空间格局

观察了 1d内西葫芦(Cucurbitapepo)植株上烟粉虱成虫数的变化,以早晨 6点最高,中午 12点达到最低点.经统计分析得到 2003年和 2004年 1d内西葫芦单株虫量与气温、空气相对湿度和温湿度系数的相关系数.对两年的观察结果进行卡方适合性检验, 2003年和 2004年,烟粉虱成虫昼夜在植株上的种群波动趋势一致 (χ2 =0. 82 <χ20. 05, 7 ).空中捕虫试验结果为早晨 6点捕虫量最低,上午 10点捕虫量最高.空中捕虫量与光照强度的相关程度最高,与气温的相关程度次之.阴天空中捕虫量极低.还观察到烟粉虱成虫在早晨、夜间、阴天和雨日多停留在植株的叶背,其反应迟钝、活动能力较差.对烟粉虱成虫空间格局频次分布检验结果显示,所有调查田块的害虫空间格局一致,均属于负二项分布; 6项分布型指数测定结果,烟粉虱成虫在田间皆为聚集分布,其聚集的原因可能系物种本身的聚集行为所致. 图 3表 3参 10

苯并（a）芘对罗非鱼（GIFT Oreochromis niloticus）肝细胞DNA损伤的影响

苯并（a）芘（Benzo（a）pyrene,BaP）是一种含有5个苯环的多环芳烃,是环境中广泛存在的一类有机污染物,苯并（a）芘可引起多种形式的DNA损伤。彗星试验,又称为单细胞凝胶电泳（Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis,SCGE）,是一项灵敏、快速的在单细胞水平检测DNA链断裂的技术,已经广泛应用于水环境的生物监测中。污染物的毒性监测与评估一直是环境科学研究的热点问题之一。本文通过生态毒理学试验,利用单细胞凝胶电泳技术,研究不同浓度苯并（a）芘暴露对罗非鱼（GIFT Oreochromis niloticus）肝细胞DNA的损伤情况。试验将罗非鱼在0.1、1、10、50μg·L-14个苯并（a）芘（BaP）浓度下分别暴露4、7、14 d,利用彗星试验研究BaP对罗非鱼肝细胞DNA的损伤情况,以尾部DNA含量、尾长、尾矩及Olive尾矩为评价指标,结果表明,BaP会对肝细胞DNA造成不同程度的损伤：在0.1、1、10μg·L-13个浓度组,DNA损伤随着BaP暴露浓度的增加而增加,呈现一定的剂量效应关系,50μg·L-1组DNA损伤有所下降。在时间上,除1μg·L-1剂量组的尾部DNA含量、10μg·L-1组的尾部DNA含量及Olive尾矩外,其他指标有在第7天降低之后又升高的趋势,这意味着肝细胞DNA损伤可在一定程度上反映水体中BaP的污染情况。该实验为进一步探讨苯并（a）芘的致癌机制及环境中苯并（a）芘的监测提供一定的科学依据。

Acute/chronic ratios to estimate chronic toxicity from acute data

Acute toxicity of 25 narcotic compounds to D. magna was determined in this paper. Acute/ Chronic Ratios (ACRs), which are often used to estimate chronic toxicity from acute toxicity data, are discussed based on Quantitative Structure‐Activity Relationships (QSARs) of the compounds between both acute and chronic toxicity data and n‐octanol/water partition coefficients, and an improved equation is derived to estimate chronic toxicity data from acute toxicity data. Application of the improved equation and ACRs is illustrated for D. magna and fathead minnow to estimate chronic toxicity from acute toxicity.
