Recycling EDTA solutions used to remediate metal-polluted soils

The objective of this research was to investigate the recycling of ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) used for the removal of trace metals from contaminated soils. We successfully used Na2S combined with Ca(OH)2 to precipitate the trace metals allowing us to recycle the EDTA. The results of batch and column leaching experiments show that both Ca-EDTA and Na-EDTA are powerful chelating agents with a similar soil remediation potential. The major advantage of Ca-EDTA is the preservation of soil organic matter. We found that Na2S was capable of separating the metals Cd, Cu and Pb from EDTA; however, the precipitation of Zn required the addition of Ca(OH)2. After reusing the reclaimed EDTA seven times, over a 14-day period, EDTA reagent losses ranged from 19.5% to 23.5%. Successive washing cycles enhanced the removal of trace metals from contaminated soils. The metal sulfide precipitates contain high concentrations of metals and could potentially be recycled.

锌与双酚A复合暴露对普通小球藻的联合毒性作用评估

为探究重金属与环境激素的联合毒性效应,以普通小球藻为受试生物,开展了锌与双酚A的单一及复合暴露对普通小球藻的急性毒性、叶绿素含量、可溶性蛋白含量及抗氧化应激的影响.结果显示,在单一暴露条件下,锌和双酚A对普通小球藻的EC50分别为5.10 mg·L-1和17.37 mg·L-1,仅在锌离子质量浓度低于0.25 mg·L-1时可促进普通小球藻叶绿素合成,而其他各暴露组中锌和双酚A对普通小球藻的光合作用具有抑制效应,采用等毒性配比法进行联合毒性试验,由相加指数法判断锌与双酚A对普通小球藻的联合作用类型为协同作用;藻细胞可溶性蛋白含量、抗氧化酶活性及丙二醛含量随锌与双酚A暴露浓度的增加被显著诱导,且高浓度的复合暴露对普通小球藻造成明显的氧化损伤.研究表明,锌与双酚A复合暴露会加强其在水环境中的毒性效应.

Wild meat trade over the last 45 years in the Peruvian Amazon

The trade in wild meat is an important economic component of rural people's livelihoods, but it has been perceived to be among the main causes of the decline of wildlife species. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light an additional concern of wildlife markets as a major human-health challenge. We analyzed data from the largest longitudinal monitoring (1973–2018) of the most important urban wild-meat markets in Iquitos, Peru, to examine the trends in and impacts of these markets on people's livelihoods. Over the last 45 years, wild meat sales increased at a rate of 6.4 t/year (SD 2.17), paralleling urban population growth. Wild meat sales were highest in 2018 (442 t), contributing US$2.6 million (0.76%) to the regional gross domestic product. Five species of ungulates and rodents accounted for 88.5% of the amount of biomass traded. Vulnerable and Endangered species represented 7.0% and 0.4% of individuals sold, respectively. Despite growth in sales, the contribution of wild meat to overall urban diet was constant: 1–2%/year of total meat consumed. This result was due to greater availability and higher consumption of cheaper meats (e.g., in 2018, poultry was 45.8% cheaper and was the most consumed meat) coupled with the lack of economic incentives to harvest wild meat species in rural areas. Most wild meat was sold salted or smoked, reducing the likelihood of foodborne diseases. Community-based wildlife management plans and the continued trade bans on primates and threatened taxa may avoid biodiversity loss. Considering the recent COVID-19 pandemic, future management plans should include potential viral hosts and regulation and enforcement of hygiene practices in wild-meat markets.
