Genotypic variations in the accumulation of Cd exhibited by different vegetables

It is an important approach to use the Cd-contaminated soils properly by growing low accumulator or excluder plants for Cd to produce safe foods. To find the suitable vegetable species for growing in Cd-contaminated soils, in the present study the variations in the Cd accumulation for twenty eight vegetable species and several cultivars of five common vegetables (cowpea, kidney pea, bitter gourd, cucumber and squash) were investigated in two soil Cd levels (1 and 2 mg/kg Cd). Experimental results showed that highly significant differences in Cd concentration were evident among 28 vegetables. For example, spinach Cd concentrations were 110-fold and 175-fold higher than that of sweet pea under the 1 and 2 mg/kg Cd exposures, respectively. For Cd accumulation, the order of vegetable species was: leafy vegetables solanaceous vegetables kale vegetables root vegetables allimus melon vegetables legumes. Distinctive differences were also identified when comparing different cultivars of the five common vegetables with an average range of 0.003–0.094 mg/kg Cd. Our results indicated that a large genotypic variation existed among vegetable species or cultivars when subjected to Cd exposure. Therefore, it is important and feasible to elect/breed vegetable species/cultivars with low accumulation of Cd, especially in mildly Cd-contaminated soils.

Preparation and characterization of PVDF-glass fiber composite membrane reinforced by interfacial UV-grafting copolymerization

A novel inorganic–organic composite membrane,namely poly(vinylidene fluoride) PVDF-glass fiber(PGF) composite membrane,was prepared and reinforced by interfacial ultraviolet(UV)-grafting copolymerization to improve the interfacial bonding strength between the membrane layer and the glass fiber.The interfacial polymerization between inorganic–organic interfaces is a chemical cross-linking reaction that depends on the functionalized glass fiber with silane coupling(KH570) as the initiator and the polymer solution with acrylamide monomer(AM) as the grafting block.The Fourier transform infrared spectrometer-attenuated total reflectance(FTIR-ATR) spectra and the energy dispersive X-ray(EDX) pictures of the interface between the glass fiber and polymer matrix confirmed that the AM was grafted to the surface of the glass fiber fabric and that the grafting polymer was successfully embedded in the membrane matrix.The formation mechanisms,permeation,and anti-fouling performance of the PGF composite membrane were measured with different amounts of AM in the doping solutions.The results showed that the grafting composite membrane improved the interfacial bonding strength and permeability,and the peeling strength was improved by 32.6% for PGF composite membranes with an AM concentration at 2 wt.%.     

福建东山湾养殖贝类重金属污染状况及健康风险评价

为了解东山湾海水养殖贝类重金属污染状况及健康风险水平,2016年11月采集了华贵栉孔扇贝(Chlamys nobills)、菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)、鲍(Haliotis sp.)、巴非蛤(Paphia sp.)、牡蛎(Saccostrea sp.)和翡翠贻贝(Perna viridis)等6种常见贝类,对其污染指数、膳食暴露量和健康风险等进行评价。结果表明,东山湾贝类体内Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd、Cr、As和Hg含量(均值)分别为9.69、0.19、43.5、0.65、0.21、0.010和1.69μg·g~(-1),与第一类海洋生物质量标准限值相比,Cu、Pb、Zn、Cd、Cr和As的超标率分别为16.7%、83.3%、33.3%、33.3%、16.7%和100%;但除华贵栉孔扇贝Cd含量超标外,Pb、Cr、Hg和As含量均能满足食品中污染物限量标准要求。尽管东山湾贝类总致癌风险R_c=1.65×10~(-4),存在一定的健康风险,但5种贝类体内重金属含量略低于我国东部-南部沿海贝类的平均水平,且2010—2017年期间东山湾牡蛎体内重金属污染状况没有明显变化(养殖生物质量指数<5%),加上重金属膳食暴露风险较低,总非致癌风险R_n=0.94(<1),总体而言贝类质量状况尚可。     

寨上金矿矿区河流沉积物中砷的形态分析

在野外调查和样品采集的基础上,对寨上金矿矿区河流沉积物中砷的质量分数进行了测定,并采用Tessier连续提取法对砷在沉积物中的存在形态进行了提取分析。结果表明,砷在该区水系沉积物中质量分数较高（55.0~189.0μg.g-1）,说明金矿的开采已经对该区的环境造成了影响。运用Tessier连续提取法研究发现,沉积物样品中砷的提取率为89.87%~110.54%,样品沉积物中砷的形态分布基本一致,以残渣态为主,占其总量的85%以上,其他各形态相对含量较少,但相对活泼形态（水溶态、离子交换态和碳酸盐结合态）绝对质量分数较高（2.029~4.942μg.g-1）,说明该区水系沉积物中大部分砷在自然条件下相对比较稳定,小部分砷（1.10%~5.55%）易释放至环境中,但由于其绝对质量分数较高,将对环境产生较大危害。     

Organochlorine pesticides in soils around Guanting Reservoir,China

Fifty-six representative samples of topsoil were collected around Guanting Reservoir, which is an important water source for Beijing. Concentrations of the insecticides HCH, DDT, and their metabolites were quantified by use of gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture detection (ECD). Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are still present in surface soils in the Guanting area. DDT accounts for about 93% of the total OCP content. Concentrations of α/γ, β/γ, and DDT/DDE are the result not only of historical use, but also of more recent depositions. Statistical analyses, including principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA), revealed associations between concentrations of OCPs and major soil characteristics. Geographical information system (GIS) technology was used to develop maps of the distributions of OCP concentrations. The areas of greatest contamination were primarily in the central part of the study area and were correlated with greater population density, heavier traffic, and more industrial activity.     

PAHs in surface sediments from coastal and estuarine areas of the northern Bohai and Yellow Seas, China

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations and their risks in surface sediments (n = 35) collected from coastal and estuarine areas of the northern Bohai and Yellow Seas, China, were investigated in 2008. Total concentrations of PAHs ranged from 52.3 to 1,870.6 ng/g dry weight. The greatest concentrations were observed in the Dou River of Tangshan where waste water from small factories is discharged into the river without treatment. At other locations, municipal sewage was the primary contributor of PAHs. Regional differences in concentrations of PAHs in sediments are related to human activities. Concentrations of PAHs were significantly correlated with concentrations of organic carbon in sediments. The patterns of relative concentrations and types of PAHs observed and knowledge of the potential sources, as well as the results of a principal component analysis, are consistent with the primary sources of PAHs in sediments of the northern Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, being derived from the high-temperature pyrolytic processes such as combustion of fossil fuel. While concentrations of PAHs at most locations did not exceed the effects range median stated by the numerical effect-based sediment quality guidelines of the United States, concentrations of PAHs at some locations were similar to or greater than the effects range low.

喀斯特石漠化是喀斯特背景下的土地退化.文章对喀斯特高原区贵州省清镇市王家寨峰丛洼地同一流域内不同类型石漠化、不同等级石漠化以及不同干扰方式石漠化土壤重金属镉的含量变化及其空间分布特征进行了研究.结果表明:研究区土壤Cd含量在0.034～0.635 mg·kg-1之间,平均值为0.243 mg·kg-1.其中,黑色石灰土Cd含量普遍高于黄壤,且存在极显著性差异(p≤0.01).土壤Cd含量总体随石漠化程度的加深而呈降低趋势,但除强度石漠化和轻度石漠化之间有显著性差异外(p≤0.05),其他石漠化等级之间无显著性变化.不同干扰方式石漠化之间,土壤Cd含量表现为开垦＜放牧＜火烧＜樵采,其中,开垦与火烧、开垦与樵采在对土壤Cd含量的影响上存在显著性差异(p≤0.05).土壤Cd含量在不同坡位间无明显变化规律,也无显著差异.研究区土壤Cd含量受土壤组分、有机质、pH和CEC等诸多因素的影响,其中,土壤有机质、pH和土壤组分是其主要影响因素.     

石灰预处理和干发酵对稻草热解特性影响

深入研究生物质热解有助于热解机理的理解,利用热重分析来探讨石灰预处理和干发酵对稻草热解特性的影响。结果表明:预处理使木质素和半纤维素含量增加,而干发酵使VS、半纤维素和纤维素含量降低;预处理和干发酵改变稻草热解特性,但未改变稻草的热反应机理;热解一级动力学方程很好模拟稻草热解的主失重阶段,稻草热解活化能数值为42.3～47.8 kJ/mol,属于正常范围;预处理降低反应活化能,而干发酵增加反应活化能。这为秸秆及其干发酵残渣的气化提供了重要的设计依据。
