代表性二级处理、三级处理和湿地生态修复技术对城镇污水人源干细胞毒性的削减

污水中的难降解污染物往往具有浓度低但毒性强的特点,可以通过多种暴露途径直接或间接对人体健康产生有害影响,因此有必要评估污水处理技术对健康效应的削减效果.本研究选择人骨髓间充质干细胞(human bone marrow mesenchy-mal stem cells,hBMSCs)体外模型,评估典型二级处理、三级处理和湿地修复技术进水、主要工艺排水的综合毒性,并与发光菌急性毒性测试结果进行比较.水样萃取物对hBMSCs的细胞毒性呈剂量依赖性关系,进水毒性单位(toxicity unit,TU)在0.03～ 0.22范围内,出水TU为0.02 ～ 0.03.二级处理技术对细胞毒性的削减率为59.8％.三级处理过程中经混凝、微滤和反渗透处理后,出水无显著细胞毒性,但经臭氧消毒后最终排水的细胞毒性较进水无显著变化.湿地修复技术对细胞毒性的削减率为49.9％.66.7％ (14/21)水样品对于hBMSCs细胞毒性的TU值高于发光菌急性毒性的TU值.在相对富集倍数(related fold enrichment,REF)20％效应浓度(EC20)下,二级处理和三级处理技术对污水hBMSCs细胞毒性的削减率低于发光菌急性毒性,但湿地修复技术对细胞毒性的削减率高于发光菌急性毒性.结果 提示污水处理厂排水中残留的难降解有机污染物对人源干细胞具有较强的有害效应,为再生水水质安全性评价以及城镇污水资源化技术研发提供参考依据和方法.

水浮莲(Pisia stratiotes Linn.)的体外再生与繁殖

建立了水生单子叶植物水浮连(Pistia stratiotes Linn.)通过器官发生途径的体久高效再生与繁殖方法.采用叶、茎节和匍匐茎为外植体诱导愈伤组织,只有茎节能够在添加2,4-D和6-BA的MS基本培养基上形成合愈伤组织,而叶和茎在含有不同组合植物激素的培养基上都不能够诱导愈伤产生.将愈伤组织转到添加6-BA和NAA的MS固体分化培养基可以在2wk内形成小苗,将小苗移至含NAA的MS固体生根培养基形成完整的植株.将生根苗转入无植物激素的不同基本液体培养基里比较其生长效果,其中含有2倍大量元素的SH培养基最适合其生长繁殖,在2wk内可由1个小苗每秒殖出10个新的植株.本研究是关于该植物体外再生的首次报道.水浮莲体外再生及繁殖系统的建立不公可以用于在无菌条件下进行基础生理生化研究,还可以用于该植物遗传达室转化系统的建立.由于该植物生长迅速且为无性繁殖,生产成本低,通过基因工程方法表达外源基因将可以用于重组药用蛋白的生产及污染水体的转基因植物修复.     

Light-induced variation in environmentally persistent free radicals and the generation of reactive radical species in humic substances

• Light irradiation increased the concentration of free radicals on HS. • The increased spin densities on HS readily returned back to the original value. • The “unstable” free radicals induced the formation of reactive radical species. • Reactive radicals’ concentration correlated strongly with EPFRs’ concentration. Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) in humic substances play an essential role in soil geochemical processes. Light is known to induce EPFRs formation for dissolved organic matter in aquatic environments; however, the impacts of light irradiation on the variation of EPFRs in soil humic substances remain unclear. In this study, humic acid, fulvic acid, and humin were extracted from peat soil and then in situ irradiated using simulated sunlight. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy results showed that with the increasing irradiation time, the spin densities and g-factors of humic substances rapidly increased during the initial 20 min and then gradually reached a plateau. After irradiation for 2h, the maximum spin density levels were up to 1.63 × 10¹⁷, 2.06 × 10¹⁷, and 1.77 × 10¹⁷ spins/g for the humic acid, fulvic acid, and humin, respectively. And the superoxide radicals increased to 1.05 × 10¹⁴–1.46 × 10¹⁴ spins/g while the alkyl radicals increased to 0.47 × 10¹⁴–1.76 × 10¹⁴ spins/g. The light-induced EPFRs were relatively unstable and readily returned back to their original state under dark and oxic conditions. Significant positive correlations were observed between the concentrations of EPFRs and reactive radical species (R² = 0.65–0.98, p<0.05), which suggested that the newly produced EPFRs contributed to the formation of reactive radical species. Our findings indicate that under the irradiation humic substances are likely to be more toxic and reactive in soil due to the formation of EPFRs.     

水溶液中典型混凝剂与分散染料的直接反应机理

为了深入揭示分散染料的混凝去除机理,选择AlCl_3、FeCl_3、CaCl_2作为混凝剂,分散红玉S-2GFL、分散黄棕S-2RFL、分散蓝BBLS作为去除对象,在不投加其他任何颗粒物的条件下,通过测定染料粒径、Zeta电位和改变混凝剂投加顺序等方式,探究了分散染料与混凝剂的直接反应机理。结果表明:3种混凝剂均可使染料颗粒表面电位接近0 mV,此时AlCl_3和FeCl_3对染料的去除率超过60%,但CaCl_2对染料去除率仅为15%左右,说明此体系下电中和不是染料被直接混凝沉淀去除的单一主导内因;投加3种混凝剂后染料粒径均明显增大,说明混凝剂水解产物与分散染料结合是导致染料被去除的重要前提之一;通过改变混凝剂投加顺序发现,对于同种染料,先投加混凝剂的去除率远低于后投加混凝剂的去除率,说明混凝剂水解终产物的物理吸附不应是染料与混凝剂结合的主因;沉淀物的傅里叶红外图谱显示,在580 cm~(-1)和475 cm~(-1)处分别检测到Al—O和Fe—O的特征峰,且XRD结果进一步显示AlCl_3、FeCl_3与染料结合形成了新的共聚物,这表明选用的无机混凝剂去除这3种分散染料的主导机理应是特定的化学结合作用。以上研究结果对丰富混凝去除相关染料的作用机理和开发相关复合药剂具有一定的理论指导意义。     

Combined effect of polystyrene plastics and triphenyltin chloride on the green algae Chlorella pyrenoidosa

The combined effect of polystyrene (PS) particles and triphenyltin chloride (TPTCl) to the green algae Chlorella pyrenoidosa was studied. The 96 h IC₅₀ of TPTCl to the green algae C. pyrenoidosa was 30.64 μg/L. The toxicity of PS particles to C. pyrenoidosa was size-dependent, with the 96 h IC₅₀ at 9.10 mg/L for 0.55 μm PS but no toxicity observed for 5.0 μm PS. The exposure to 0.55 μm PS led to damage on structure of algal cells, which could in turn cause inhibition on photosynthesis and population growth of the green algae. TPTCl concentrations in test medium were lowered by 15–19% at presence of 0.55 μm PS particles, indicating a reduced bioavailability of TPTCl. In spite of this reduced bioavailability, the presence of PS increased the toxicity of TPTCl, which might be attributed to facilitated uptake of TPTCl by the green algae after the damage of cell structure. The overall results of the present study provided important information on the effect of PS on the bioavailability and toxicity of TPTCl to phytoplankton species.

     

Long-term monitoring and modeling of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans from municipal solid waste incinerators and surrounding area in northern Taiwan

Municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) have long been the major contributors of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) to ambient air in Taiwan. After stringent MSWI emission standards were introduced in 2001, the long-term continuous monitoring of flue gas and ambient air quality became necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the related control strategies. Three MSWIs and the surrounding ambient air were investigated in the current study for PCDD/F characteristics during 2006 to 2011. The average concentrations in the flue gas ranged from 0.008?~?0.0488 ng I-TEQ/Nm³, which is much less than the emission standard in Taiwan (0.1 ng I-TEQ/Nm³) (I-TEQ is the abbreviation of International Toxic Equivalent). This led to extremely low levels in the ambient air, 0.0255 pg I-TEQ/Nm³, much less than the levels seen in most urban areas around the world. Additionally, the results obtained using the Industrial Source Complex Short-Term Dispersion Model (ISCST3) indicate that the PCDD/F contributions from the three MSWIs to the ambient air were only in the range from 0.164?~?0.723 %. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the PCDD/Fs in the air samples had very similar characteristics to those from mobile sources. The results thus show that stringent regulations have been an effective control strategy, especially for urban areas, such as Taipei City.     

Enhanced reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyl-contaminated soil by in-vessel anaerobic composting with zero-valent iron

Anaerobic dechlorination is an effective degradation pathway for higher chlorinated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The enhanced reductive dechlorination of PCB-contaminated soil by anaerobic composting with zero-valent iron (ZVI) was studied, and preliminary reasons for the enhanced reductive dechlorination with ZVI were investigated. The results show that the addition of nanoscale ZVI can enhance dechlorination during in-vessel anaerobic composting. After 140 days, the average number of removed Cl per biphenyl with 10 mg g^?1 of added nanoscale ZVI was 0.63, enhancing the dechlorination by 34 % and improving the initial dechlorination speed. The ZVI enhances dechlorination by providing a suitable acid base environment, reducing volatile fatty acid inhibition and stimulating the microorganisms. The C/N ratios for treatments with the highest rate of ZVI addition were smaller than for the control, indicating that ZVI addition can promote compost maturity.     

戊唑醇对斑马鱼的急性毒性及生物富集效应

为评价杀菌剂戊唑醇对水生生态系统的影响,以斑马鱼(Brachydanio rerio)为试验生物,采用半静态法分别研究了戊唑醇原药和其6种不同剂型对斑马鱼的急性毒性以及戊唑醇原药对斑马鱼的生物富集效应。结果表明:97.4%戊唑醇原药、25%戊唑醇水乳剂、430 g·L-1戊唑醇悬浮剂、25%戊唑醇可湿性粉剂、80 g·L-1戊唑醇悬浮种衣剂、250 g·L-1戊唑醇乳油、80%戊唑醇水分散粒剂对斑马鱼96 h-LC50分别为8.73、3.35、6.44、9.68、4.60、0.892和6.81 mg·L-1;选择97.4%戊唑醇原药进行斑马鱼生物富集试验,在9.00×10-2和0.900 mg·L-12个处理浓度下连续暴露8 d,相应的富集系数(BCF8 d)分别为27.7和25.4。根据《化学农药环境安全评价试验准则》毒性划分标准,除250 g·L-1戊唑醇乳油对斑马鱼急性毒性属于高毒,其他剂型均为中毒,且戊唑醇属于中等富集性农药。该研究为戊唑醇田间安全使用提供理论依据。     

Waste prevention for sustainable resource and waste management

Although the 2Rs (reduce and reuse) are considered high-priority approaches, there has not been enough quantitative research on effective 2R management. The purpose of this paper is to provide information obtained through the International Workshop in Kyoto, Japan, on 11–13 November 2015, which included invited experts and researchers in several countries who were in charge of 3R policies, and an additional review of 245 previous studies. It was found that, regarding policy development, the decoupling between environmental pressures and economy growth was recognized as an essential step towards a sustainable society. 3R and resource management policies, including waste prevention, will play a crucial role. Approaches using material/substance flow analyses have become sophisticated enough to describe the fate of resources and/or hazardous substances based on human activity and the environment, including the final sink. Life-cycle assessment has also been developed to evaluate waste prevention activities. Regarding target products for waste prevention, food loss is one of the waste fractions with the highest priority because its countermeasures have significant upstream and downstream effects. Persistent organic pollutants and hazardous compounds should also be taken into account in the situation where recycling activities are globally widespread for the promotion of a material-cycling society.
