Spatial distribution of DDT in sediments from estuarine rivers of central Florida

Sediments may act as both a carrier for and a potential source of contaminants such as toxic organics in aquatic environments. This study investigated the spatial distribution of the pesticide DDT [1,1, 1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane] in sediments from the Cedar and Ortega Rivers located in the lower St. Johns River basin, Florida, USA, using field measurements and three-dimensional kriging analysis. High DDT concentrations were found near the junction of the Cedar and Ortega Rivers and at the north end of the Ortega River in the upper 0.5 m of the sediments, indicating that the sediment was enriched with DDT in the top layer although use of this chlorinated compound was banned in 1972. Further study revealed that the influence of sediment grain size or texture on DDT contamination was negligible in this river system and no linear correlations existed among DDT and its metabolites such as DDD [1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane] and DDE [1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene]. Comparison of three-dimensional distribution of DDT content to the Florida sediment quality assessment guideline or probable effect level (PEL) showed several "hot spots" in the Ortega River sediments, where DDT contents exceeded the PEL value of 4.78 microg kg(-1). Such contamination may pose a significant hazard to aquatic life.

裸项栉鰕虎鱼仔鱼日摄食量及摄食节律研究

研究裸项栉鰕虎鱼早期发育阶段的日摄食量及昼夜摄食规律,为种苗培育提供技术依据.以孵化7 d的裸项栉鰕虎鱼仔鱼为研究对象,设自然昼夜组(对照组)、持续光照组和持续黑暗组三组,各组每隔2 h取样15尾仔鱼,检查并计算每尾仔鱼胃中的轮虫数,结果表明三组的轮虫日摄食量分别为36.5个/尾、70.7个/尾和1.57个/尾;白天摄食量比例分别为总摄食量的88.0%,67.6%和74.4%;对照组和持续光照组在傍晚(18:00)出现摄食高峰;黑暗组在正午(12:00) 出现一个摄食峰;持续光照组日摄食量为对照组的193.9%,而黑暗组仅为对照组的4.1%,另外,裸项栉鰕虎鱼仔鱼属白天摄食类型,光照对仔鱼摄食影响显著,仔鱼饲育的光照持续时间可比自然白昼延长4 h,投饵主要应在有光时进行.

检测细胞DNA断裂损伤效应的彗星实验法的改良

为了解决彗星实验过程中常出现的脱胶、细胞核分离操作繁琐、重复性低等问题,对彗星实验方法进行了改良,初步建立了彗星实验的快速操作流程。结果显示,通过对载玻片进行预处理,可确保凝胶悬挂均匀;采用改良机械法分离的细胞核浓度适中;以0.5%(w/v)涂层琼脂糖作为基层、以1.5%(w/v)低熔点包埋琼脂糖作为叠加层的"双层凝胶法",辅以"推片法"铺胶,操作便捷且不发生脱胶现象;细胞核膜经裂解处理后再进行电泳和荧光观察,彗星图像清晰,杂质少。应用改良后的彗星实验方法,操作简便,耗时更短,实验效果良好,可快速检测出细胞DNA损伤效应。     

Leaching-induced migration and compositional form change of Cu,Zn, and Cd from sludge to loess

Land utilization of sewage sludge has become one of the major issues in environmental mitigation in China. This is particularly important in the Loess Plateau of Northwest China. Sludge enriched with organic matter and nutrients might effectively help to resolve the problems of silty loess soils as evidenced by porosity defect, structural alterations and absence of fertility. After sludge flows into the loess, irrigation water contains heavy metals that leach and migrate into sludge and consequently related human health risks may occur that raise concerns; and this situation needs to be rectified. The characteristics of the vertical migration and composition form change of Cu, Zn, and Cd from composted sludge to loess, and corresponding influencing factors, were investigated by performing a soil column simulation test under the leaching treatment of a one-year irrigation water capacity. Results demonstrated that: (1) composted sludge significantly improved loess fertility, and irrigation leaching transported only a small quantity of organic matter in sludge in the plough layer; (2) although some of the Cu, Zn, and Cd in composted sludge migrated to and concentrated in the middle and upper layers of the soil column during leaching, these metals were mostly retained in the plough layer; and (3) after the leaching treatment of the one-year irrigation water capacity, the compositions of Cu, Zn, and Cd (particularly Cu and Zn) in both plough layer and loess began to stabilize with low concentrations in the exudate. These findings confirmed the applicability of composted sludge in loess regions. This study provided a new insight into the sludge reuse in alkaline soils in arid and semi-arid region.     

欧盟战略环评的实践经验及对中国的借鉴

欧盟战略环评的理论和实践在国际上具有领先地位,对我国具有重要的借鉴作用.2001年,欧盟通过了战略环评指令,规定了战略环评的目标、范围、流程、报告书内容和公众参与等,同时给予了成员国一定的自主空间.2007年的评估表明,欧盟战略环评的实施确实使环保有效地纳入到了战略中,使之更符合环保的要求,此外,战略环评提高了战略制定的规范性和决策的透明度与参与度.2008年,欧盟加入了联合国战略环评议定书,对人群健康、政策和立法环评以及公众参与等提出了更高的要求.借鉴欧盟战略环评的实践经验,我国应在战略环评的范围、加强大纲审查环节、定期评估和总结经验、“定制化”的战略环评以及追赶战略环评国际新趋势等方面进一步改进和提高.

不同分子量的腐殖酸存在下2种无机砷的生物毒性效应研究

水环境中天然有机质会与砷形成络合物,进而影响砷的迁移、转化和生物毒性。研究利用超滤方法将腐殖酸(humic acid, HA)分为5个不同分子量的组分,以大型溞为受试生物,探究了不同分子量HA存在下砷对大型溞的毒性效应。结果表明,不同分子量的HA均缓解了As(Ⅲ)和As(Ⅴ)对大型溞的氧化应激损伤和细胞膜损伤,并降低了砷对MT的诱导量。其中1～30 k Da的HA对砷的缓解效果最好,1 k Da的HA毒性缓解效果最差,可能的原因是HA与砷的络合增加溶液中络合态砷的含量,而络合态砷难以进入细胞并被生物利用。不同分子量的HA对砷毒性的缓解差异与其跟砷的络合比例不同有关。
