重金属对大麦(Hordeum vulgare)毒性的研究

研究了６种重金属（Ｈｇ２＋、Ｃｄ２＋、Ｐｂ２＋、Ｎｉ２＋、Ｃｕ２＋、Ｚｎ２＋）对大麦幼苗生长及根尖细胞遗传学毒害作用．结果表明，随着重金属浓度的增加和处理时间的延长，大麦种子的萌发率、根生长速率和有丝分裂指数下降．１×１０－２ｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈｇ２＋、Ｃｄ２＋、Ｐｂ２＋处理２４ｈ后完全抑制了细胞分裂，Ｈｇ２＋、Ｃｄ２＋和Ｐｂ２＋诱发的染色体畸变率显著高于Ｎｉ２＋、Ｃｕ２＋和Ｚｎ２＋．用５×１０－３—５×１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈｇ２＋、Ｃｄ２＋、Ｐｂ２＋处理２４ｈ和Ｎｉ２＋处理４８ｈ后，核仁结构发生分解，形成许多核仁颗粒并进入细胞质中，而Ｃｕ２＋、Ｚｎ２＋对核仁结构没有影响．６种重金属对大麦的细胞遗传学毒性顺序为Ｈｇ２＋＞Ｃｄ２＋＞Ｐｂ２＋＞Ｎｉ２＋＞Ｃｕ２＋＞Ｚｎ２＋．文中还讨论了重金属对植物细胞的毒害机理．     

Ag~+在含Cl~-培养基中的毒性初探

纳米银(Ag NPs)和硝酸银(AgNO_3)的毒性研究已成为环境科学的焦点问题之一。毒性测试时LB培养基中的Cl~-势必会对Ag~+的毒性产生影响。为了探究Cl~-对Ag~+的溶解态及毒性的影响,计算了常温(25℃)和试验条件(37℃)下含1%NaCl的LB培养基中Ag Cl1-xx各组分的生成量及在体系中所占比例,测定了不同NaCl质量分数的LB培养基中AgNO_3对革兰氏阳性菌(B.subtilis)和阴性菌(E.coli)的毒性。结果表明,AgNO_3在含NaCl体系中溶解态银主要为Ag Cl1-xx,而Ag~+未达到有毒的浓度,且随NaCl质量分数增加,AgNO_3的毒性不断增大。因此认为毒性试验中实际发挥毒性作用的是Ag Cl1-xx,尤其是Ag Cl~-2。     

Drying of salted silver jewfish in a hybrid solar drying system and under open sun: Modeling and performance analyses

This study investigated the thin-layer drying kinetics of salted silver jewfish in a hybrid solar drying system and under open sun. Ten drying models were compared with experimental data of salted silver jewfish drying. A new model was introduced, which is an offset linear logarithmic (offset modified Page model). The fit quality of the models was evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R²), root mean square error (RMSE), and sum of squared absolute error (SSAE). The result showed that Midilli et al. model and new model were comparable with two or three-term exponential drying models. This study also analyzed energy and exergy during solar drying of salted silver jewfish. Energy analysis throughout the solar drying process was estimated on the basis of the first law of thermodynamics, whereas exergy analysis during solar drying was determined on the basis of the second law of thermodynamics. At an average solar radiation of 540 W/m² and a mass flow rate of 0.0778 kg/sec, the collector efficiency and drying system efficiency were about 41% and 23%, respectively. Specific energy consumption was 2.92 kWh/kg. Moreover, the exergy efficiency during solar drying process ranged from 17% to 44%, with an average value of 31%. The values of improvement potential varied between 106 and 436 W, with an average of 236 W.     

Reaction of silver nanoparticles in the disinfection process

This study investigated the dissolution, aggregation, and reaction kinetics of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the three types of water disinfectants (ultraviolet, sodium hypochlorite, and ozone) under the different conditions of pH, ionic strength, or humic acid (HA). The physicochemical changes of AgNPs were measured by using UV–Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. The results showed that when AgNPs contacted the disinfectants, oxidative dissolution was the primary reaction. In addition, the reaction kinetics studies revealed that the reaction rate of AgNPs with disinfectants was significantly influenced by different disinfectants along with different pH and the presence of sodium nitrate and HA. Our research demonstrated the potential effect of disinfectants on AgNPs, which will improve our understanding of the fate of AgNPs in the disinfection processes in the water and wastewater treatment plant.     

In vitro effects of various xenobiotics on Fusarium spp. strains isolated from cereals

This study aimed to determine the susceptibility of Fusarium spp. strains isolated from cereals to selected heavy metals, fungicides and silver nanoparticles. The experiments were conducted using 50 Fusarium strains belonging to five species: F. graminearum, F. culmorum, F. oxysporum, F. sporotrichioides and F. avenaceum. The strains were found to be highly resistant to Pb²⁺ and Zn²⁺. Medium resistance to Cu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ and low resistance to Cd²⁺ and Fe³⁺ was also observed. Among the tested fungicides, formulations containing azoxystrobin, prochloraz and tebuconazole proved to be the most effective in inhibiting the growth of fungi, as they affected fungal growth in each of the applied doses. Susceptibility of Fusarium spp. to nanosilver, demonstrated in this study, shows the legitimacy of using nanostructures as fungicidal agents. The results confirm high diversity of the analyzed fungal species in terms of susceptibility to the tested substances, and encourage to continue research on the resistance of Fusarium spp. to various fungicidal agents.

Comparative study of leaching of silver nanoparticles from fabric and effective effluent treatment

Nano silver (Ag_n) is employed as an active antimicrobial agent, but the environmental impact of Ag_n released from commercial products is unknown. The quantity of nanomaterial released from consumer products during use should be determined to assess the environmental risks of advancement of nanotechnology. This work investigated the amount of silver released from three different types of fabric into water during washing. Three different types of fabric were loaded with chemically synthesized Ag nanoparticles and washed repeatedly under simulated washing conditions. Variable leaching rates among fabric types suggest that the manufacturing process may control the release of silver reaching the waste water treatment plants. In an attempt to recover the Ag_n for reutilization and to save it from polluting water, the effluents from the wash were efficiently treated with bacterial strains. This treatment was based on biosorption and was very efficient for the elimination of silver nanoparticles in the wash water. The process ensured the recovery of the Ag_n leached into the effluent for reutilization, thus preventing environmental repercussions.     

Histopathological studies and oxidative stress of synthesized silver nanoparticles in Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus)

To evaluate the potential environmental effects of engineered nano metals, it is important to determine the adverse effects of various nanomaterials on aquatic species. Adult tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) were maintained in 10 L glass aquaria, and exposed to a graded series of synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) at 25, 50 and 75 mg/L for eight days. The LC₅₀ value was 12.6 mg/L. Reduced activities of antioxidant enzymes and the contents of antioxidants were lowered in the gills and liver of fishes treated with Ag-NPs, which resulted in heavy accumulation of free radicals. Histopathological results imply that the balance between the oxidative and antioxidant system in the fish was broken down during Ag-NPs exposure. The principal concern related with the release of nanomaterials and their smaller particle may change the materials transport and potential toxicity to aquatic organisms compared to larger particles.
