The effect of artificial smoke compound on physiological responses,cognitive functions and work performance during firefighting activities in a smoke-diving room: an intervention study

This study investigated the combined effect of firefighting operations and exposure to smoke on physiological responses, cognitive functions and physical performance among firefighters. Each firefighter was engaged in two experimental conditions: (a) without artificial smoke, control (NS); (b) with artificial smoke (WS). The results of data analysis revealed that heart rate and body temperature increased significantly after the firefighting activities in the two conditions relative to baseline. In addition, reaction time (RT) and correct response (CR) decreased after the activity relative to baseline and there was a significant difference in RT and CR between the NS and WS conditions. There was also a significant difference in performance time between the NS and WS conditions. These findings demonstrated that a smoke compound has an insignificant effect on physiological responses during firefighting activity. On the contrary, the smoke compound has a detrimental influence on cognitive and physical performance.

为了寻求治理室内挥发性有机污染物的措施,以豆瓣绿、鹅掌柴、富贵竹和袖珍椰子等4种常见室内植物为供试材料,采用五氟苯肼/气相色谱/质谱法(PFPH/GC/MSD)分析方法和动态熏气法开展了相关植物去除4种羰基化合物(乙醛、丙酮、丙醛和丁醛)的实验研究.结果表明,在有光照(3 000 lx)下,豆瓣绿、鹅掌柴、富贵竹和袖珍椰子4种植物对污染物的去除速率(μmol/(m2·h))范围分别为:0.24(丁醛)～1.36(丙酮)、0.25(丁醛)～0.69(乙醛)、0.07(丁醛)～0.30(乙醛)及0.57(丙醛)～0.75(乙醛),而在无光照下,相应的植物去除速率(μmol/(m2·h))分别为:0.07(丁醛)～0.27(丙酮)、0.09(丁醛)～0.29(乙醛)、0.02(丁醛)～0.22(乙醛)、0.13(乙醛)～0.45(丙酮),通过对比可以看出4种植物对C2～C4羰基化合物在光照下的去除效果明显优于在无光照的情况下.此外,4种供试植物对4种羰基化合物总的去除速率由大到小依次为:豆瓣绿(169.26μg/(m2 · h))＞袖珍椰子(149.23 μg/(m2 h))＞鹅掌柴(94.44 μg/(m2·h))＞富贵竹(29.85 μg/(m2·h)).     

剩余污泥水解酸化液中营养元素与有机质的回收

为回收剩余污泥水解酸化液中的营养元素与有机质,构建了白云石-水解酸化液钙镁溶出体系,获得富含钙镁的溶出液,控制溶出液反应pH和反应时间进行第1阶段回收,以回收后的上清液进一步作为钙镁源从水解酸化液中进行第2阶段回收。结果表明,钙镁溶出的适宜条件为酸化pH 4.0~4.5、白云石颗粒50~80目、固液比3∶100(每100mL水解酸化液中投加3g筛分后白云石)、溶出时间10h;第1阶段回收适宜的反应pH为8.5,氮(以氨氮计)回收率、磷(以可溶性正磷酸盐(以P计)计)回收率分别为10.24%和95.89%;第2阶段回收适宜的镁磷摩尔比为0.60、反应pH为9.0,此时氮、磷回收率分别为14.60%和83.91%;傅立叶红外变换(FTIR)和电感耦合等离子直读光谱(ICP)分析表明,回收产物主要由无机养分和有机质组成,重金属含量极少。利用白云石提供钙镁源能经济有效地回收剩余污泥水解酸化液中的氮、磷等营养元素,同时回收有机质,回收产物品质符合《有机-无机复混肥料》(GB 18877—2009)中Ⅰ型肥料要求。     

管式生物过滤器去除乙苯废气

生物过滤由于其良好的成本效益和环境友好性已经成为控制挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)含量和气味气体排放的常规技术。营养物质的均匀分布、生物膜和介质床内的气体流是成就一个性能优良的生物过滤器至关重要的因素。而由本实验室开发的管式生物过滤器(TBFs)已被证明具备此优势。本实验的管式生物过滤器以聚氨酯海绵作为填料,研究在不同有机负荷、气体停留时间(EBCT)、进气量和表面活性剂等条件下乙苯废气的去除效率(RE)。实验同时记录了管式生物过滤器启动阶段的表现。初期使附着在填料上的微生物暴露在浓度为40 mg/m3的乙苯废气中40 d,此时的气体停留时间为15 s,使微生物慢慢适应并逐步降解乙苯废气;然后连续地控制管式生物过滤器的入口乙苯浓度为40、80、120和160 mg/m3,以使有机负荷逐步升高。结果表明,乙苯去除效率随着有机负荷的增大而逐步减小。当气体停留时间从15 s增加到30 s和60 s,而有机负荷控制在38.60 g/(m3·h)时,乙苯废气去除效率略微增加。此外,随着进气量的增大乙苯废气的最大平均去除效率有所下降而此时的降解容量增大,这个过程中乙苯进气浓度保持不变。结果还表明,在营养液中加入聚乙二醇辛基苯基醚这种表面活性剂可以提高乙苯废气的去除效率。

采用田间原位试验和Tessier连续提取方法,在水稻（Oryza sativa L.）不同生育期研究了重金属复合污染高、中、低3个水平下的土壤砷的形态分布特征及其生物有效性。结果表明：在水稻不同生育期中,土壤各种形态的砷质量分数均表现为高污染水平土壤〉中等污染水平土壤〉低污染水平土壤;土壤中砷在水稻整个生育期均以残留态为主,占90%以上,交换态砷所占比例最低,不到0.5%;不同形态砷之间大都显著正相关,但是两种有效性较高的砷形态（交换态和碳酸盐结合态）与有机态砷之间的相关性较差;土壤砷的生物有效性表现为高污染水平土壤〉中等污染水平土壤〉低污染水平土壤,且随着水稻生育期的延长,土壤砷的生物有效性逐渐升高。     

溴系阻燃剂毒理效应的计算模拟预测与环境风险评估进展

溴系阻燃剂(brominated flame retardants,BFRs)作为生产和使用量巨大的有机阻燃剂,在环境介质和生物体内被广泛检出。BFRs及其代谢产物会对生物体造成神经毒性、遗传毒性、发育毒性及内分泌干扰效应等,环境和健康风险得到日益广泛的关注。国内外学者通过最小二乘法(LS)和类似马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗算法(AMCMC)等统计分析方法建立了BFRs在环境中转化和归趋的预测模型,采用分子对接、分子动力学模拟和定量结构-活性关系(QSAR)模型等方法分析了BFRs及其代谢产物毒性作用的微观机制。综合近年来国内外的相关研究,发现BFRs的结构(取代基的类型和数量)会影响其环境行为和毒理效应,在总结研究成果的基础上,对BFRs的生态和健康风险进行评估,为其未来的研究和发展方向提供参考。     

取代苯酚类化合物抑藻活性的CoMFA模型

基于比较分子力场分析(CoMFA)方法建立20种取代苯酚类化合物抑藻活性(pI)的三维定量构效关系(3D-QSAR)。训练集中16个化合物用于建立预测模型,测试集5个化合物(含模板分子)作为模型验证。已建立的Co MFA模型的交叉验证系数(Q2)、非交叉验证系数(R2)分别为0.915、0.963,说明所建模型具有较强的稳定性和良好的预测能力。该模型中立体场、静电场贡献率依次为48.4%、51.6%,表明影响抑藻活性(pI)的主要因素是取代基的电荷分布,其次是取代基的疏水性和空间位阻。     

Simultaneous removal of hydrogen sulfide and volatile organic sulfur compounds in off-gas mixture from a wastewater treatment plant using a two-stage bio-trickling filter system

A two-stage BTF system was established treating odorous off-gas mixture from a WWTP. The two-stage BTF system showed resistance for the lifting load of H₂S and VOSC. Miseq Illumina sequencing showed separated functional microbial community in BTFs. Avoiding H₂S inhibition and enhancement of VOSC degradation was achieved. Key control point was discussed to help industrial application of the system. Simultaneous removal of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs) in off-gas mixture from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is difficult due to the occasional inhibitory effects of H₂S on VOSC degradation. In this study, a two-stage bio-trickling filter (BTF) system was developed to treat off-gas mixture from a real WWTP facility. At an empty bed retention time of 40 s, removal efficiencies of H₂S, methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide were 90.1, 88.4, 85.8, and 61.8%, respectively. Furthermore, the effect of lifting load shock on system performance was investigated and results indicated that removal of both H₂S and VOSCs was slightly affected. Illumina Miseq sequencing revealed that the microbial community of first-stage BTF contained high abundance of H₂S-affinity genera including Acidithiobacillus (51.43%), Metallibacterium (25.35%), and Thionomas (8.08%). Analysis of mechanism demonstrated that first stage of BTF removed 86.1% of H₂S, mitigating the suppression on VOSC degradation in second stage of BTF. Overall, the two-stage BTF system, an innovative bioprocess, can simultaneously remove H₂S and VOSC.
