Changes in hair arsenic concentration in a population exposed to heavy pollution： Follow-up investigation in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, Southern China

Follow-up investigation on hair arsenic concentration was conducted in an arsenic heavily polluted area of southern China in 2002 and 2006.The results showed that the geometric mean of hair arsenic concentration decreased from 2.95 mg/kg in 2002 to 1.78 mg/kg in 2006,when the percentage of the population with levels over 1 mg/kg only decreased from 93.4% in 2002 to 80.5% in 2006.Over this four-year period,the population with high arsenic concentrations decreased significantly while there was no obvious chan...     

人发铅、锌含量的研究

从山西省临汾市及其效区,收集了1518份健康人的头发样品（年龄从新生儿到70岁）,用原子吸收光谱法测定其锌（Zn)和铅（Pb）的含量,结果表明：女性头发中锌的含量高于男性,而男性头发中铅的含量高于女性,从婴儿组（＜1岁）到青春发育组（15－19岁）,发锌含量随着年龄的增长而增加,从青春发育组到老年组（61－70岁）,发锌含量随着年龄的增长而降低,新生儿头发中含铅量量低,从新生儿到幼儿期91－2岁）,发铅含量随着年龄的增长而增加,从幼儿期开始,随着年龄增长,发铅含量不断下降,这些结果意味着,人体中铅与锌可能是相互拮抗的,结果还表明,城市居民（除新生儿外）的发铅含量高于郊区居民的发铅含量,然而,城市和郊区居民的发锌含量未见差异。

电子废物拆解地区人群头发中持久性卤代有机污染物(PHCs)的污染特征

本研究以头发作为指示人群持久性卤代有机污染物(PHCs)暴露的生物材料,分析了电子废物拆解工人、电子废物拆解区普通居民、农村对照区居民和城市对照区居民头发中的PHCs浓度水平及组成特征.结果发现:电子废物拆解工人和拆解区普通居民头发中的PHCs含量显著高于两组对照地区人群(p< 0.05),表明电子废物拆解活动造成了当地人群对PHCs较高的暴露剂量.在电子废物拆解区的普通居民中,人群头发中的PHCs含量具有随年龄的增加而上升的趋势,老年人组(> 60岁)头发中的PHCs含量最高.在电子废物污染地区和农村对照区人群中,PCBs是最主要的PHCs污染物(39%~52%),表明这两个地区的人群均受到电子废物拆解活动的影响;城市人群头发中则以PBDEs和DBDPE为主(共占69%),反映了珠三角地区人群主要受工业或生活活动PHCs排放的影响.同时,主成分分析显示,不同人群头发中PHCs的组成模式也与污染物在环境中的迁移有关.     

A simple ligandless microextraction method based on ionic liquid for the determination of trace cadmium in water and biological samples

A simple and efficient ionic liquid-based ligandless microextraction method has been developed for preconcentration of cadmium ions (Cd²⁺) as a step prior to its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) with a micro-sample introduction system. In this approach, the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C₄mim][PF₆] and ethanol were used as extractant and dispersive solvents to preconcentrate the Cd²⁺ in different waters, acid digested scalp hair, and nail samples. Some analytical parameters influencing the extraction efficiency of Cd²⁺ and its subsequent determination, including pH, IL volume, dispersant solvent volume, sample volume, temperature, incubation time, and matrix effect, were optimized. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), and enhancement factor (EF) were 0.4 μg L^?1, 1.3 μg L^?1, and 50, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of 100 μgL^?1 Cd²⁺ was 4.3% (n = 6). The validity of the proposed method was checked by determining Cd²⁺ in certified reference material (TM-25.3 fortified water) and standard addition; the results showed sufficient recovery (>98%) of Cd²⁺ within the certified value. The method was applied for preconcentration and determination of cadmium in waters and biological samples.

Assessment by Hair analysis of Mercury Exposure Among Mining Impacted Communities of Mindanao and Palawan, The Philippines

Human mercury (Hg) exposure in two contrasting areas of mining and mineral processing activity on the Philippine islands of Mindanao and Palawan was evaluated using hair analysis. On Mindanao, samples were collected from residents of Apokon, a major regional centre for gold beneficiation. On Palawan, a former cinnabar mine and mine-waste disposal site in Honda Bay formed the focus of investigation. Relatively high hair Hg burdens (up to 13mg Hg kg^–1 at Apokon and 18.5mg Hg kg^–1 in Honda Bay) were observed in both populations, with occupational factors apparently constituting a first-order exposure control. At Apokon, hair burdens in excess 2mg Hg kg^–1 were recorded in 90% of Au processing plant workers, compared with 21% of other sectors of the population. In Bay, ex-mineworkers, although possibly subject to occupational Hg exposure in the past, now display no evidence of this influence. Fishermen, however, systematically yielded hair Hg concentrations a factor of 2.5 higher than those of the remaining population. Approximately 7% of the Apokon and Honda Bay residents sampled presented hair Hg concentrations equal to or in excess of the World Health Organisation (WHO) reference dose. There is little evidence to indicate that residential factors significantly influence Hg exposure in either area. Hazard mitigation strategies involving the isolation of resident populations from perceived contaminant sources such as ore processing plant and sites of mine-waste disposal are, therefore, unlikely to prove beneficial.     

Assessment of polychlorobiphenyls in human/poultry fat and in hair/plumage from a contaminated area

HR gas chromatographic PCB patterns in human/poultry fat tissue and hair/plumage in samples from a polluted region of Bela Krajina /Slovenia/ were investigated. The concentration of PCBs in human adipose tissue was found to be 9.62 μg/g in comparison to 0.67 μg/g in the adipose tissue of the non-exposed population, and in poultry fat 12.80 μg/g on a fat basis. The corresponding values in human hair and poultry plumage were 0.90 μg/g and 0.20 μg/g of original weight. The difference in PCB patterns between fat and hair can be attributed to the different routes of contamination (ingestion, air transport), to the time of exposure and physicochemical properties (octanol- water partition coefficients, Henry's law constants and the metabolism) of some individual congeners. Hair could be used for the assessment of ingestion of contaminated food and of the PCB levels in the air. In fat tissue PCB congeners with higher metabolic stability are enriched, whereas in hair PCB congeners with higher concentrations in air and with high octanol- water partition coefficients predominate.
