Size distribution of particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in fresh combustion smoke and ambient air: A review

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and they mostly stem from the imperfect combustion of fossil fuels and biofuels. PAHs are inherently associated with homogenous fine particles or distributed to different-sized particles during the aging of air masses. PAHs carried by fine particles undergo a long-range transport to remote areas while those adsorbed on coarse particles have a shorter lifetime in ambient air. More importantly, PAHs with higher molecular weights tend to be bound with finer particles and can deeply enter the lungs, posing severe health risks to humans. Thus, the environmental fate and health effects of particulate PAHs are strongly size-dependent. This review summarizes the size distributions of particulate PAHs freshly emitted from combustion sources as well as the distribution patterns of PAHs in ambient particles. It was found that PAHs from stationary sources are primarily bound to fine particles, which are slightly larger than particles to which PAHs from mobile sources are bound. In ambient air, particulate PAHs are distributed in larger size modes than those in the combustion fume, and the particle size decreases with PAH molecular weight increasing. The relevant mechanisms and influencing factors of particle size distribution changes are illustrated in this article, which are essentially attributed to combustion and ambient temperature as well as the physical and chemical properties of PAHs. Overall, the study on the particle size distribution of PAHs will contribute for a full understanding of the origin, atmospheric behaviors and health effects of particulate PAHs.     

模拟SO42-沉降对闽江口淡水感潮野慈姑湿地N2O通量的影响

选取闽江口塔礁洲淡水感潮野慈姑(Sagittaria trifolia L.)湿地为研究对象,2015年12月—2016年10月,每月小潮日原位定期向实验样地施加2个沉降量水平的硫酸钾溶液:S60(60 kg·hm-2·a-1)和S120(120 kg·hm-2·a-1),运用静态箱-气相色谱法研究模拟硫酸根沉降对河口区淡水感潮湿地N2O通量的影响及主要环境影响因子.对照、S60和S120 3个处理下N2O通量分别为(58.06±23.07)、(23.50±22.85)和(20.75±7.83)μg·m-2·h-1,年尺度上,S120处理显著降低N2O通量(p0.05),S60处理与CK处理差异不显著(p0.05).闽江口淡水感潮野慈姑湿地整体上表现为大气中N2O源.野慈姑湿地N2O排放通量与间隙水盐度呈显著负相关关系.研究表明,对于亚热带河口区淡水感潮野慈姑湿地,施加量为120 kg·hm-2·a-1的模拟硫沉降显著降低其N2O排放通量.

Confirmation of combinational effects of calcium with other metals in a paper recycling mill effluent on nematode lifespan with toxicity identification evaluation method

We used toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) method to confirm the combinational e ects of identified toxic metals in a paper recycling mill e uent in inducing the decreased lifespan in nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Exposure to Ca + Al caused more severely decreased lifespan than that exposed to Ca, or Al; and exposure to Ca + Fe induced more severely decreased lifespan than that exposed to Ca, or Fe. Exposure to Ca+Al+Fe caused more severely decreased lifespan than that exposed to Ca, or Ca+Fe. Moreover, the baseline toxicity on lifespan was doubled by doubling the concentration of combined metals (Ca+Al+Fe) in spiking test in original e uent (oe), and lifespan defects in oe+Ca+Al+Fe exposed nematodes were more severe than that in Ca+Al+Fe exposed nematode. Therefore, Ca+Al+Fe exposure may largely explain the formation of decreased lifespan induced by the examined industrial e uent. Furthermore, the observed reduction of lifespan induced by the combination of high level of Ca with other metals may be at least partially independent of the insulin-like pathway.

应用GIS技术及分形理论,以云南省滇池流域为研究区,将土地利用类型划分为5类：耕地、林地、草地、水域及城乡工矿居民用地,并进行各土地利用类型图斑分形维数分析。结果表明：土地利用类型的分布具有分形结构,各土地利用类型分维值介于1.09～1.35之间,总分维值1.146。根据分维值对各土地利用类型稳定性排序：林地〉草地〉耕地〉水域〉城乡工矿居民用地。若不考虑水域影响,稳定性指数均介于0.2～0.5之间的土地利用类型面积占研究区土地总面积的80.18%,总体稳定性良好。说明在人为规划影响下,滇池流域土地利用总的发展比较稳定,人为因素、人工措施的实施比较合理。分维值能较好反映各土地利用类型复杂程度及稳定性。     

Nano-QSAR: 纳米毒理学领域的新方法

基于AQUATOX模型的白洋淀湖区多溴联苯醚(PB-DEs)的生态效应阈值与生态风险评价研究

为了准确定量生态系统尺度下持久性有机污染物(POPs)的直接毒性效应和通过食物网传递的间接生态效应,建立POPs浓度与生态效应的量化关系,本研究以强人为干扰湖泊白洋淀为研究区,建立了湖泊底栖-浮游耦合食物网,运用AQUATOX模型评价典型POPs——多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)的水生态系统风险,判定关键浓度阈值。模型校正结果表明,该模型能够充分模拟白洋淀中18个优势种群生物量的季节变化过程;敏感性分析结果表明该模型对温度和呼吸速率参数敏感;风险评价的结果表明AQUATOX模型能够有效的评估PBDEs的直接毒性效应和间接生态效应,AQUATOX模型得到的最大无影响效应浓度(NOEC)要比实验室中的NOEC低1~2个数量级。因此,在自然生态系统中PBDEs的生态风险难以根据单一种群的毒性数据进行外推,而AQUATOX模型成为自然生态系统中PBDEs风险评价的可靠方法,能够判定在"可接受风险"水平时污染物的浓度阈值。AQUATOX模型为污染物环境基准的制定提供了较为可行的方法,进而为化学污染物的早期预警和风险管理提供决策依据。

模拟和光谱相互验证2'-OH-BDE-28对HSA构象的影响

利用分子对接、分子动力学模拟(molecular dynamics simulation,MD)和光谱法研究2'-羟基-2,4,4'-三溴二苯醚(2'-OHBDE-28)与人血清白蛋白(HSA)的作用机制。MD模拟研究表明2'-OH-BDE-28诱导HSA的内部疏水性增强,结构松散膨胀,致使其二级结构发生改变;圆二色光谱实验与MD模拟结果相吻合,验证2'-OH-BDE-28可诱导HSA的构象变化。荧光光谱实验表明,2'-OH-BDE-28能通过静态猝灭和非辐射能量转移机制引起HSA荧光猝灭。分子对接推断2'-OH-BDE-28以氢键和疏水作用力键合在HSA的位点I处;热力学分析和竞争实验结果一致验证分子对接结果。本文将计算模拟和光谱实验相结合,从模拟和实验2个角度共同探讨2'-OH-BDE-28与HSA的作用机制,结果高度吻合。
