Perfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) are environmental toxicants that persistently accumulate in human blood. Their widespread detection and accumulation in the environment raise concerns about whether these chemicals might be developmental toxicants and teratogens in ecosystem. We evaluated and compared the toxicity of PFCs of containing various numbers of carbon atoms (C8–11 carbons) on vertebrate embryogenesis. We assessed the developmental toxicity and teratogenicity of various PFCs. The toxic effects on Xenopus embryos were evaluated using different methods. We measured teratogenic indices (TIs), and investigated the mechanisms underlying developmental toxicity and teratogenicity by measuring the expression of organ-specific biomarkers such as xPTB (liver), Nkx2.5 (heart), and Cyl18 (intestine). All PFCs that we tested were found to be developmental toxicants and teratogens. Their toxic effects were strengthened with increasing length of the fluorinated carbon chain. Furthermore, we produced evidence showing that perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) and perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFuDA) are more potent developmental toxicants and teratogens in an animal model compared to the other PFCs we evaluated [perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA)]. In particular, severe defects resulting from PFDA and PFuDA exposure were observed in the liver and heart, respectively, using whole mount in situ hybridization, real-time PCR, pathologic analysis of the heart, and dissection of the liver. Our studies suggest that most PFCs are developmental toxicants and teratogens, however, compounds that have higher numbers of carbons (i.e., PFDA and PFuDA) exert more potent effects. 相似文献

Extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) are used in the developing world for many purposes including management of agricultural insect pests. The effects of different neem extracts (aqueous (NSKEaq), ethanol (NSKEeth) and hexane (NSKEhex)) on mortality, survival and weight of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (St?l) (BPH) (Homoptera: Delphacidae) third and fourth nymphal instars were investigated. When fed rice plants treated with neem derivatives in bioassays, the survival of BPH nymphs is affected. Comparisons were made with the pure neem limonoid, azadirachtin (AZA) to ascertain its role as a compound responsible for these effects. AZA was most potent in all experiments and produced almost 100% nymphal mortality at 0.5 ppm and higher concentrations. When higher concentrations were applied, the effects appeared shortly after treatment and mortality was higher. Many insects died after remaining inactive for several days or during prolonged moulting. At lower concentrations, if moulting was achieved, disturbed growth and abnormalities were then likely to occur in the moulting process. Nymphs that were chronically exposed to neem extract showed a reduction in weight (45-60%). The results clearly indicate the simple NSKE (aqueous, ethanolic or both), containing low concentrations of AZA, can be used effectively to inhibit the growth and survival of BPH. 相似文献

This study focused on the evaluation of leaching behaviours for arsenic and heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in soils and tailings contaminated by mining activities. Ten representative mine soils were taken at four representative metal mines in Korea. To evaluate the leaching characteristics of the samples, eight extraction methods were adapted namely 0.1 M HCl, 0.5 M HCl, 1.0 M HCl, 3.0 M HCl, Korean Standard Leaching Procedure for waste materials (KSLP), Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP), Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and aqua regia extraction (AR) methods. In order to compare element concentrations as extraction methods, relative extraction ratios (RERs, %), defined as element concentration extracted by the individual leaching method divided by that extracted by aqua regia based on USEPA method 3050B, were calculated. Although the RER values can vary upon sample types and elements, they increase with increasing ionic strength of each extracting solution. Thus, the RER for arsenic and heavy metals in the samples increased in the order of KSLP < SPLP < TCLP < 0.1 M HCl < 0.5 M HCl < 1.0 M HCl < 3.0 M HCl. In the same extraction method, the RER values for Cd and Zn were relatively higher than those for As, Cu, Ni and Pb. This may be due to differences in geochemical behaviour of each element, namely high solubility of Cd and Zn and low solubility of As, Cu, Ni and Pb in surface environment. Thus, the extraction results can give important information on the degree and extent of arsenic and heavy metal dispersion in the surface environment. 相似文献

The ultrastructure of the integument of the sapphirinid copepods was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Samples were collected between 1991 and 1993 by plankton-net tows from the subtropical and tropical waters of the North Pacific. In all the seven species examined of Sapphirina and Copilia, a structure with multilayered platelets was found in the epidermal cells of the dorsal integument of the male. Each platelet is a regular hexagonal prism. The platelets form a plate with honeycomb arrangement within each epidermal cell. Just ventral to the dorsal cuticle, 10 to 14 plates are located parallel to each other and to the cuticle. The mean diameter and thickness of the platelets measured between 1.0 and 1.8 m and 61 and 83 nm, respectively, for the four species. The specific coloration of seven species was examined with reflected and transmitted light. The iridescent color may be explained by the theory of multiple thin-layer interference in some species which are considered to have an ideal laminar structure, but for the other species, mechanisms from non-ideal systems, including pigment-thin layer interaction, may also be involved. 相似文献

Lead (Pb) contents and partition in soils collected from eleven vegetable-growing lands in Fujian Province, China, were investigated
using a modification of the BCR (Community Bureau of Reference) sequential extraction procedure coupled with the Pb isotope
ratio technique. Pb contents in Chinese white cabbage (B. Chinensis L.) grown on the lands for this study were also measured. Results showed that Pb concentrations in fifty samples of topsoil
ranged from 456 to 21.5 mg kg−1, with each mean concentration of six sampling lands exceeding the national standard (50 mg kg−1); while Pb concentrations in edible portions of thirty-two vegetable samples ranged from 0.009 to 2.20 mg kg−1, with four sampling sites exceeding the national sanitary standard (0.2 mg kg−1). A significant correlation (r = 0.971, P < 0.01) of Pb contents in the acid-extractable fractions by BCR approach and the vegetables was observed, which indicates
that the acid-extractable Pb is useful for evaluating the metal bioavailability for plants and potential risk for human health
in soils. The determination of lead isotope ratios in different chemical forms of soils by BCR sequential extraction procedures
provides useful information on the Pb isotopic composition associated with different soil fractions (especially in the acid-extractable
fractions), and the result is helpful for the further study on controlling and reducing Pb contamination in vegetable-growing
soils. 相似文献

Environmental concerns have been raised that suspended solids in turbid water adversely affect human health, and that their
removal increases in the cost of water treatment. The Yongdam dam reservoir, located in the southwestern region of Korea,
is severely affected by inflowing turbid water after storms. In this study, soil samples were collected from 37 sites in the
Yongdam upstream basin to investigate mineralogical and environmental factors associated with the turbidity potential of soils
in water environments. Turbidity potential was estimated by measuring the turbidity of soil-suspension solutions after settling
for 24 h. The mineralogy of the soils was dominated by four minerals—quartz, microcline, albite, and muscovite—with lesser
amounts of hornblende, chlorite, kaolinite, illite, and mixed layer illite. The quartz content was the most variable of the
soil mineralogy among the collected samples. Principal-components analysis (PCA) was used to examine relationships between
turbidity potential and other soil properties. The variables considered in the PCA included turbidity potential, quartz content,
albite content, mean size of soil particles, clay content, clay mineral content, zeta potential, conductivity, and pH of the
soil-suspension solution. The first two components of the PCA explained 52% of the overall variation of the selected variables.
The first component was possibly explained by physical properties such as the size of the soil particles; the second was correlated
with chemical properties of the soils, for example dissolution and extent of weathering. Closer examination of the PCA results
revealed that the quartz content of the soils was negatively correlated with their turbidity potential. A linear correlation
(r = 0.63) was obtained between measured turbidity potential and that predicted using multiple regression analysis based on
the content of clay-sized particles, clay minerals, and quartz, and the conductivity of the soil-suspension solution. 相似文献
