不同处理方法去除有机质对沉积物吸附有机农药和非离子表面活性剂的影响

四种不同的方法去除沉积物有机质,采用振荡平衡法研究了有机农药、非离子表面活性剂在沉积物上的吸附行为及非离子表面活性剂对有机农药吸附的影响.结果表明,经HCl处理后,沉积物有机碳含量增加,而经Na4 P2O7,NaOH和H2O2处理后沉积物有机碳含量均降低;甲基对硫磷、西维因的吸附取决于沉积物有机碳的分配作用,与矿物质无关;沉积物矿物组分的表面作用和微孔性作用使得高极性有机农药克百威在低有机碳含量沉积物七的吸附量增加;Tween-80使甲基对硫磷在未处理和HCl处理的沉积物上的吸附量减少,在NaOH处理和H2O2处理的沉积物上的吸附量增加.     

典型的固定源排放可凝结颗粒物中无机组分研究

近年来我国各类典型固定源排放可过滤颗粒物（Filterable Particulate Matter,FPM）的水平已经明显降低,然而固定源可凝结颗粒物（Condensable Particulate Matter,CPM）的排放水平却逐渐引起人们的关注和重视.因此研究不同类型固定源CPM的排放特征对进一步了解和控制固定源颗粒物的排放具有重要意义.本研究根据美国EPA Method 202搭建了一套CPM的采样装置,对5个不同固定源排放的CPM进行了采样.实验结果表明在两个燃煤电厂、一个烧结厂和两个垃圾焚烧厂中,CPM的排放浓度分别为 7.65、26.00、28.89、6.82和5.53 mg·m^-3,无机组分在CPM中的占比分别为69%、62%、43%、62%和71%.其中SO₄^2-是燃煤电厂和烧结厂排放CPM中最主要的水溶性离子,占总离子的67%以上.Cl^-是垃圾焚烧厂排放CPM中最主要的水溶性离子,占总离子的37%以上.K、Ca、Na、Fe、Mg和Al等元素在各类固定源CPM排放的总元素中占比较高,大约在80%以上.此外,在燃煤电厂和烧结厂排放CPM中的未知组分比例大约在20%以上,说明现阶段我们对CPM组成成分的研究还有限,未来应当继续探索研究.

双酚A在湘江沉积物上的吸附特征

探讨了双酚A(BPA)在湘江沉积物上的吸附/解吸特征.结果表明,BPA在湘江沉积物上的吸附主要以快速吸附为主,Freundlich模型能较好地描述其吸附等温线,沉积物有机质中的碳黑物质和孔隙填充相引起了BPA的非线性吸附和解吸滞后行为;沉积物对BPA的吸附是一个放热过程,主要是自发的焓推动的物理吸附;随着沉积物浓度的增大,单位沉积物上的BPA吸附量减少;随着离子强度的增大,单位吸附量也随之增大;在酸性条件下,单位沉积物上的BPA吸附量随着pH值的增大而减少,在碱性条件下这种影响不显著.     

Markers of oxidative stress and toxicant exposure among young waterpipe smokers in the USA

Waterpipe (aka hookah) tobacco smokers are exposed to toxicants that can lead to oxidative DNA and RNA damage, a precursor to chronic disease formation. This study assessed toxicant exposure and biomarkers of DNA [8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG)] and RNA [8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxoGuo)] oxidative damage during smoking of flavored and non-flavored waterpipe tobacco. Thirty waterpipe smokers completed two counterbalanced 2-h lab waterpipe smoking sessions (flavored vs. non-flavored waterpipe tobacco). Urinary concentrations of 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGuo and expired carbon monoxide (eCO) were measured before and after the smoking sessions. A significant increase in the urinary concentrations of 8-oxodG (from 2.12 ± 0.83 to 2.35 ± 0.91 ng/mg creatinine, p = 0.024) and 8-oxoGuo (from 2.96 ± 0.84 to 3.45 ± 0.76 ng/mg creatinine, p = 0.003) were observed after smoking the non-flavored and flavored waterpipe tobacco, respectively. Our results also showed that the mean ± SD of eCO increased significantly after smoking the flavored (from 1.3 ± 1.1 to 20.3 ± 23.6 ppm, p < 0.001) and non-flavored waterpipe tobacco (from 1.8 ± 1.2 to 24.5 ± 26.1 ppm, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the means of 8-oxodG (p = 0.576), 8-oxoGuo (p = 0.108), and eCO (p = 0.170) between the flavored and non-flavored tobacco sessions. Smoking non-flavored and flavored waterpipe tobacco leads to oxidative stress and toxicant exposure. Our findings add to the existing evidence about the adverse effects of waterpipe tobacco smoking (WTS) and the need for strong policies to inform and protect young people from the risks of WTS.
