Fine particulate matter alters the microecology of the murine respiratory tract

Fine particulate matter is a global challenge to human health. We investigated the effects and potential mechanisms of fine particulate matter on respiratory tract microecology in a lung injury mouse model. BALB/c mice were randomized into exposed and control groups. We found that the levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor I was increased following the PM2.5 exposure. 16S rRNA sequencing of respiratory tract lavage fluid confirmed that the composition of the respiratory tract microecology was altered by the exposure. Lactobacillus was the most abundant of bacterial species present. Collectively, these results establish a link between exposure to fine particulate matter and alterations to the respiratory tract microecology. Elucidation of the underlying mechanisms may lead to treatment strategies in lung injury.

     

三维电极电化学氧化法深度处理DOP生产废水的研究

采用以铁板作阴、阳极,活性炭作填充粒子的三维电极电化学氧化法深度处理DOP生产废水。探讨了废水的pH、槽电压、极板间距、活性炭投加量和反应时间等因素对COD去除率的影响,并通过正交实验确定了处理DOP废水的最佳工艺条件,还对COD的降解动力学规律进行了初步探讨。结果表明,三维电极电化学氧化法处理DOP生产废水的最佳工艺条件为:pH值为5、电极间距为4 cm、槽电压为25 V、活性炭投加量为12 g/L、电解时间为90 min。在此条件下,COD去除率可达71.5%,出水COD浓度为50.9 mg/L,达到国家污水综合排放标准(GB8978-1996)的一级标准。三维电极电化学氧化法对COD的降解反应呈表观一级反应,降解速率方程为C=C0e-0.0124t。     

Aerobic biotransformation of decabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-209) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Aerobic biodegradation of decabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-209) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa under the influence of co-metabolic substrates and heavy metal cadmium ion was studied, The results showed that certain amount of co-metabolic substrates, such as glucose, sucrose, lactose, starch, and beef extract, would promote the biodegradation of PBDE-209, among which glucose most favorably accelerated PBDE-209 degradation by about 36% within 5 d. The highest degradation efficiency was reached at the ratio of PBDE-209 and glucose 1:5 while excessive carbon source would actually hamper the degradation efficiency. Exploration of influences of cadmium ion on PBDE-209 biodegradation indicated that degradation efficiency was stimulated at low concentrations of Cd²⁺ (0.5–2 mg L⁻¹) while inhibited at higher levels (5–10 mg L⁻¹), inferring that the heavy metals of different concentrations possessed mixed reactions on PBDE-209 bioremoval. Bromine ion was produced during the biotransformation process and its concentration had a good negative correlation with the residues of PBDE-209. Two nonabromodiphenyl ethers (PBDE-208, PBDE-207), four octabromodiphenyl ethers (PBDE-203, PBDE-202, PBDE-197, PBDE-196) and one heptabromodiphenyl ethers (PBDE-183) were formed with the decomposition of PBDE-209, demonstrating that the main aerobic transformation mechanism of PBDE-209 was debromination.

Enhanced phytoextraction of Pb and other metals from artificially contaminated soils through the combined application of EDTA and EDDS

Chemically enhanced phytoextraction is achieved by the application of chelates to soils. Using pot experiments, the effect of the combined application of EDTA and EDDS on the uptake of Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd by Zea mays L. was studied. Among the tested application ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 (EDTA/EDDS), 2:1 of EDTA:EDDS was the most efficient ratio for increasing the concentrations of Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd in the shoots. The combined application of 3.33 mmol kg(-1) soil of EDTA+1.67 mmol kg(-1) soil of EDDS produced 650 mg kg(-1) of Pb in the shoots, which was 2.4 and 5.9 times the concentration of Pb in the shoots treated with 5 mmol kg(-1) of EDTA and EDDS alone, respectively. The total phytoextraction of Pb reached 1710 microg kg(-1) soil, which was 2.1 and 6.1 times the total Pb from 5 mmol kg(-1) EDTA and EDDS alone, respectively. The combined application of EDTA and EDDS also significantly increased the translocation of Pb from the roots to the shoots. The mechanism of enhancing the phytoextraction of Pb by the combined application of EDTA+EDDS did not involve a change in the pH of the soil. The increase in the phytoextraction of Pb by the shoots of Z. mays L. was more pronounced than the increase of Pb in the soil solution with the combined application of EDTA and EDDS. It was thought that the major role of EDDS might be to increase the uptake and translocation of Pb from the roots to the shoots of plants.

基于MODIS影像估算中国大陆区域草地火污染物时空格局

草地火是草地生态系统重要干扰因子,对草地生态系统结构和功能有重要影响.草地火释放的大量烟气和颗粒物对大气环境、生态系统和人类健康有重要影响.本研究基于2001—2017年中国大陆区域MODIS-MCD64A1数据,结合生物质密度,估算各区域草地火燃烧生物量.并运用排放因子法,估算17年间中国大陆区域草地火排放污染物总量.研究结果表明,中国大陆地区草地生物质密度存在差异,由东向西逐渐递减.草地火时空分布不均衡且存在明显季节性差异,主要集中在3月和9月.中国大陆地区2001—2017年草地火次数、火面积和燃烧总量分别是1.63×10~5次、6.12×10~6 hm~2和23.86 Mt,排放CO_2、CO、CH_4、SO_2、NMVOC、NO_x、PM_(2.5)、BC、OC和TC总量分别为37.27 Mt、1.31 Mt、43.30 kt、11.05 kt、287.74 kt、79.60 kt、155.82 kt、9.25 kt、64.95 kt和75.54 kt.此外,各污染物在时间和空间上不均衡,在东北、华北、华中和西南区域呈增加趋势,华东和西北区域呈降低趋势,华南区域呈显著降低趋势.本研究揭示了中国大陆地区草地火释放污染物的时空变化,为深入揭示草地火对区域环境影响提供数据支持.
