深圳河典型内分泌干扰物分布和季节变化规律研究

2011年6月至2012年5月在深圳河沿程采集水样,采用固相萃取一氮吹一衍生化的预处理方法和气相色谱/质谱联用法,对壬基酚(NP)、辛基酚(OP)、双酚A(BPA)、雌酮(E1)、雌二醇(E2)、17α-雌二醇(17α-E2)、雌三醇(E3)、雌炔醇(EE2)等8种内分泌干扰物(EDCs)在深圳河的浓度分布和时空变化规律进行了研究.同时通过主成分分析考察了EDCs与常规水质污染物的关系.结果表明,NP、BPA、E1、E3、EE2在深圳河各河段均有检出,而OP、17α-E2、E2的检出率均低于20％,EDCs主要来源是NP和BPA;深圳河旱季和雨季EDCs的浓度变化大,其中NP浓度表现出旱季高雨季低的规律,旱季浓度是雨季的1.74～5.63倍,但BPA和3种甾醇类雌激素的浓度呈现出了雨季高旱季低的相反变化规律,这应该与污水处理厂雨季污水溢流有关;通过主成分分析发现,BPA与DO存在明显的负相关关系,生物作用可能在BPA去除和甾醇类雌激素转化中起到了重要作用,具体机制还有待进一步研究.     

Predictors of urinary bisphenol A and phthalate metabolite concentrations in Mexican children

Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates is prevalent among children and adolescents, but little is known regarding important sources of exposure at these sensitive life stages. In this study, we measured urinary concentrations of BPA and nine phthalate metabolites in 108 Mexican children aged 8–13 years. Associations of age, time of day, and questionnaire items on external environment, water use, and food container use with specific gravity-corrected urinary concentrations were assessed, as were questionnaire items concerning the use of 17 personal care products in the past 48-h. As a secondary aim, third trimester urinary concentrations were measured in 99 mothers of these children, and the relationship between specific gravity-corrected urinary concentrations at these two time points was explored. After adjusting for potential confounding by other personal care product use in the past 48-h, there were statistically significant (p < 0.05) positive associations in boys for cologne/perfume use and monoethyl phthalate (MEP), mono(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate (MCPP), mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP), and in girls for colored cosmetics use and mono-n-butyl phthalate (MBP), mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), MEHHP, MEOHP, and mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate (MECPP), conditioner use and MEP, deodorant use and MEP, and other hair products use and MBP. There was a statistically significant positive trend for the number of personal care products used in the past 48-h and log-MEP in girls. However, there were no statistically significant associations between the analytes and the other questionnaire items and there were no strong correlations between the analytes measured during the third trimester and at 8–13 years of age. We demonstrated that personal care product use is associated with exposure to multiple phthalates in children. Due to rapid development, children may be susceptible to impacts from exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals; thus, reduced or delayed use of certain personal care products among children may be warranted.     

Hydroxylation of bisphenol A by hyper lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 under non-ligninolytic condition

Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the representative compounds of the endocrine disrupting compounds group and the highest volume chemicals produced worldwide. As a result, BPA is often detected in many soil and water environments. In this study, we demonstrated the transformation of BPA from liquid cultures inoculated with hyper lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624. Under non-ligninolytic condition, approximately 80% of BPA was eliminated after 7 d of incubation. High-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses of a metabolite isolated from the culture supernatant suggested that BPA was metabolized to hydroxy-BPA, 4-(2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-2-yl)benzene-1,2-diol, which has a much lower estrogenic activity than BPA. In addition, we investigated the effect of the cytochrome P450 inhibitor piperonyl butoxide (PB) on the hydroxylation of BPA, markedly lower transformation activity of BPA was observed in cultures containing PB. These results suggest that cytochrome P450 plays an important role in the hydroxylation of BPA by P. sordida YK-624 under non-ligninolytic condition.     

Biodegradation of imidacloprid in liquid media by an isolated wastewater fungus Aspergillus terreus YESM3

In the present study, a new fungal strain capable of imidacloprid degradation was isolated from agricultural wastewater drain. The fungal strain of YESM3 was identified as Aspergillus terreus based on ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 gene sequence by PCR amplification of a 500 bp sequence. Screening of A. terreus YESM3 to the insecticide imidacloprid tolerance was achieved by growing fungus in Czapek Dox agar for 6 days at 28°C. High values (1.13 and 0.94 cm cm^?1) of tolerance index (TI) were recorded at 25 and 50 mg L^?1 of imidacloprid, respectively in the presence and absence of sucrose. However, at 400 mg L^?1 the fungus did not grow. Effects of the imidacloprid concentration, pH, and inoculum size on the biodegradation percentage were tested using Box–Behnken statistical design and the biodegradation was monitored by HPLC analysis at different time intervals. Box–Behnken results indicated that optimal conditions for biodegradation were at pH 4 and two fungal discs (10 mm diameter) in the presence of 61.2 mg L^?1 of imidacloprid. A. terreus YESM3 strain was capable of degrading 85% of imidacloprid 25 mg L^?1 in Czapek Dox broth medium at pH 4 and 28°C for 6 days under static conditions. In addition, after 20 days of inoculation, biodegradation recorded 96.23% of 25 mg L^?1 imidacloprid. Degradation kinetics showed that the imidacloprid followed the first order kinetics with half-life (t₅₀) of 1.532 day. Intermediate product identified as 6-chloronicotinic acid (6CNA) as one of the major metabolites during degradation of imidacloprid by using HPLC. Thus, A. terreus YESM3 showed a potential to reduce pollution by pesticides and toxicity in the effected environment. However, further studies should be conducted to understand the biodegradation mechanism of this pesticide in liquid media.

Who should wear mask against airborne infections? Altering the contact network for controlling the spread of contagious diseases

There are several ways of controlling the propagation of a contagious disease. For instance, to reduce the spreading of an airborne infection, individuals can be encouraged to remain in their homes and/or to wear face masks outside their domiciles. However, when a limited amount of masks is available, who should use them: the susceptible subjects, the infective persons or both populations? Here we employ susceptible-infective-recovered (SIR) models described in terms of ordinary differential equations and probabilistic cellular automata in order to investigate how the deletion of links in the random complex network representing the social contacts among individuals affects the dynamics of a contagious disease. The inspiration for this study comes from recent discussions about the impact of measures usually recommended by health public organizations for preventing the propagation of the swine influenza A (H1N1) virus. Our answer to this question can be valid for other eco-epidemiological systems.

三峡水库香溪河库湾拟多甲藻的昼夜垂直迁移特性

2008年4月3日08:00—4日08:00在三峡水库香溪河库湾5个监测点对拟多甲藻(Peridiniopsis sp.)进行了24 h连续监测,以研究拟多甲藻的昼夜垂直迁移特性,并解释拟多甲藻水华表层水体表观颜色昼夜变化的原因. 结果表明:拟多甲藻在12 m水深以上水柱中存在明显的周期性昼夜垂直迁移特性,00:00—16:00拟多甲藻向表层水体迁移并聚集,最大上移速度约为2 m/h;16:00—00:00拟多甲藻向下部水体迁移,最大下移速度约为4 m/h;拟多甲藻的昼夜垂直迁移是导致拟多甲藻水华表层水体表观颜色不断变化的主要原因. 水体中各层叶绿素a质量浓度〔ρ(Chla)〕昼夜变化较大,用单层ρ(Chla)不足以评价藻类水华暴发程度;均深叶绿素a质量浓度〔ρ(A.D. Chla)〕的昼夜变化不大,能够综合表征藻类迁移水柱中藻类的现存量,可以作为河道型水库拟多甲藻水华暴发程度的评价指标.      

Removal of tetrachlorobisphenol A and the effects on bacterial communities in a hybrid sequencing biofilm batch reactor-constructed wetland system

SBBR-CW system was proposed to effectively treat wastewater containing TCBPA. CW unit contributed more than SBBR to the removal of TCBPA. TCBPA changed the composition and structure of bacterial community in the system. GAOs massively grew in SBBR, but did not deteriorate TP removal efficiency. Tetrachlorobisphenol A (TCBPA) released into the sewage may cause environmental pollution and health risk to human beings. The objective of this study was to investigate the removal of TCBPA and bacterial community structures in a laboratory-scale hybrid sequencing biofilm batch reactor (SBBR)-constructed wetland (CW) system. The results showed that the removal efficiency of chemical oxidation demand (COD), ammonia, total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the SBBR-CW system was 96.7%, 97.3%, 94.4%, and 88.6%, respectively. At the stable operation stage, the system obtained a 71.7%±1.8% of TCBPA removal efficiency with the influent concentration at 200 mg/L. Illumina MiSeq sequencing of 16S rRNA gene revealed that the presence of TCBPA not only reduced the bacterial diversity in the SBBR-CW system, but also altered the composition and structure of bacterial community. After the addition of TCBPA, Proteobacteria increased from 31.3% to 38.7%, while Acidobacteria and Parcubacteria decreased greatly in the SBBR. In contrast, Acidobacteria replaced Proteobacteria as the dominant phylum in the upper soils of CW. The results indicated that TCBPA stimulated the growth of GAOs in the SBBR without deteriorating the phosphorus removal due to the presence of sufficient carbon sources. The ammonia oxidizing bacteria, Nitrosomonas, and denitrification bacteria, Hyphomicrobium and Pseudomonas, were inhibited by TCBPA, resulting in a decreasing the removal efficiency of TN and ammonia.     

溶解氧对活性污泥胞内贮存物和除磷性能的影响

分别以乙酸钠和葡萄糖为碳源,通过间歇实验,考察不同溶解氧(DO)浓度对厌氧-缺氧-好氧序批式反应器中活性污泥胞内贮存物聚羟基烷酸酯(PHA)、糖原和系统除磷性能的影响。实验表明:DO对以乙酸钠为碳源培养的胞内贮存物PHA和糖原影响较大,并影响污泥的除磷性能;对以葡萄糖为碳源培养的胞内物质影响较小,可能是因为细胞内存在其他类型的胞内贮存物。
