汞对蔬菜幼苗生长及氧化酶同工酶的影响

汞是城市污水中的一种主要有毒物,郊区农民常用这种污水灌溉农作物,造成减产。含汞工业污水对水稻、小麦种子萌发、幼苗及胚根生长的毒性影响及体内某些酶的变化已有一些报道,但对蔬菜幼苗期形态变化与体内某些酶变化的关系则很少有人探讨。我们用不同浓度汞溶液处理番茄等6种作物种子,探讨其对幼苗生长的影响及体内氧化酶同工酶变化的关系,为生产上早期检测作物受汞害的程度、选择抗汞害的作物品种提供依据。

Natural and anthropogenic sources of lead, zinc, and nickel in sediments of Lake Izabal, Guatemala

Sediments in Lake Izabal, Guatemala, contain substantial lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and nickel (Ni). The lack of historical data for heavy metal concentrations in the sediments makes it difficult to determine the sources or evaluate whether inputs of metals to the lake have changed through time. We measured the relative abundances and concentrations of Pb, Zn, and Ni by X-Ray Fluorescence core scanning and by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry in three sediment cores to explore stratigraphic distributions of metals in the lake deposits. High amounts of Pb and Zn in the core taken near the Polochic Delta suggest that galena and sphalerite mining increased Pb and Zn delivery to Lake Izabal between ~1945 and 1965 CE. An up-core Ni increase in the core taken near a different mine on the north shore of Lake Izabal suggests that recent nickel mining operations led to an increase in Ni concentrations in the local sediments, but amounts in the other cores indicate that Ni is not widely distributed throughout the lake. Sediment cores from Lake Izabal are reliable recorders of heavy metal input to the lake, and were measured to establish background metal levels, which would otherwise be unavailable. Concentrations of Pb, Zn, and Ni in older, pre-20th-century Lake Izabal sediments reflect input from natural erosion of bedrock. Our results provide previously unavailable estimates of background metal concentrations in Lake Izabal before the onset of mining. These results are necessary for future monitoring related to mining contamination of the lake ecosystem.     

Assessment of sunflower germplasm for phytoremediation of lead-polluted soil and production of seed oil and seed meal for human and animal consumption

Phytoremediation is a valuable technology for mitigating soil contamination in agricultural lands, but phytoremediation without economic revenue is unfeasible for land owners and farmers. The use of crops with high biomass and bioenergy for phytoremediation is a unique strategy to derive supplementary benefits along with remediation activities. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a high-biomass crop that can be used for the phytoremediation of polluted lands with additional advantages (biomass and oil). In this study, 40 germplasms of sunflower were screened in field conditions for phytoremediation with the possibility for oil and meal production. The study was carried out to the physiological maturity stage. All studied germplasms mopped up substantial concentrations of Pb, with maximum amounts in shoot?>?root?>?seed respectively. The phytoextraction efficiency of the germplasm was assessed in terms of the Transfer factor (TF), Metal removal efficiency (MRE) and Metal extraction ratio (MER). Among all assessed criteria, GP.8585 was found to be most appropriate for restoring moderately Pb-contaminated soil accompanied with providing high biomass and high yield production. The Pb content in the oil of GP.8585 was below the Food safety standard of China, with 59.5% oleic acid and 32.1% linoleic acid. Moreover, amino acid analysis in meal illustrated significant differences among essential and non-essential amino acids. Glutamic acid was found in the highest percentage (22.4%), whereas cysteine in the lowest percentage (1.3%). Therefore, its efficient phytoextraction ability and good quality edible oil and meal production makes GP.8585 the most convenient sunflower germplasm for phytoremediation of moderately Pb-contaminated soil, with fringe benefits to farmers and landowners.     

椭圆小球藻对汞的吸附-解吸探究

以椭圆小球藻（Chlorella ellipsoidea）为试验藻种,探究黑暗环境中活藻、死藻在不同条件下对水中汞的吸附-解吸特征、动力学过程和等温吸附模型。结果表明,椭圆小球藻在弱酸性或中性（pH=3～8）水环境中对汞的吸附能力最强,吸附总量随藻浓度的增加而增加,单位吸附量随藻浓度增加而降低,最佳吸附丰度约为3.2×10⁶ cells/mL,其中活藻处理对汞的最大吸附率为71.2%,死藻处理的最大吸附率为62.9%。椭圆小球藻对汞的吸附主要分为生物吸附和生物富集吸附两个阶段,其中死藻细胞主要以生物吸附为主,活藻细胞除了具备生物吸附以外还可进行生物富集吸附,藻细胞生物富集汞的能力与藻丰度和环境中汞浓度有关。二级动力学方程和Langmuir等温吸附模型可较好地描述椭圆小球藻对汞的吸附过程。在解吸汞的过程中,椭圆小球藻死藻解吸能力更强,活藻在解吸过程中伴随着生物富集,1 440 min后死藻和活藻均可达到解吸平衡。     

污灌区盐分累积对污染土壤汞释放通量的影响

采用优化设计的动态通量箱,对不同盐分（NaCl和Na₂SO₄）和盐度（0~5%）的盐渍化土壤土-气界面的汞交换通量进行动态监测,研究盐渍化对污灌区土壤汞和大气释放的影响.结果表明：（1）两种盐分类型对土壤Hg释放的影响呈相反趋势.与未发生盐渍化的对照土壤相比,随着NaCl盐度梯度的上升,土壤Hg释放通量呈现上升趋势,5%盐度处理下,Hg通量均值与对照相比提高了48.94%;而随着Na₂SO₄盐度梯度的上升,土壤Hg释放通量呈现下降趋势,5%盐度处理下,Hg通量均值与对照相比降低了20.62%.（2）土壤盐分含量与土壤汞释放通量均值之间呈线性关系.对于NaCl,含量x（g/kg）与汞通量y [ng/（m²·h）]之间的模型为y=0.8258x+86.709（R²=0.9734）,对于Na₂SO₄,模型为y=-0.3354x+85.997（R²=0.9581）.从研究结果来看,高浓度的NaCl环境对土壤汞释放通量有显著影响,土壤的盐渍化趋势会使汞释放及作物吸收风险更趋严重.     

生物矿化在重金属污染治理领域的研究进展

生物矿化通过生物代谢影响金属及类金属物质的形态分布,进而改变金属及类金属物质的生物有效性及毒性,在环境污染治理领域成为研究热点.文献计量学结果显示,2007—2017年生物矿化研究以微生物为主要对象,在纳米颗粒物和矿区修复等方面形成热点,并在环境学、生物学、化学和工程学等领域形成交叉学科.结合典型矿化菌与重金属间的矿化关联规律和微界面反应对微生物矿化中重金属的钝化机制进行归纳:①依据矿化菌与矿化产物的关联性对矿化菌进行分类,从碳酸盐、铁锰氧化物、硫化物和磷酸盐4类矿化产物角度汇总了碳酸盐矿化菌、铁锰氧化菌、硫酸盐还原菌及磷酸盐溶解菌的代表微生物;②矿化菌通过诱导矿化的方式固定重金属离子,其中碳酸盐矿化菌、硫酸盐还原菌及磷酸盐溶解菌可以直接促进金属矿物的形成,铁锰氧化菌生成的矿物间接吸附金属离子;③微生物矿化是由外及内的过程,细胞壁及胞外多聚物具有丰富基团,在矿化初期提供吸附和成核位点,原生质体也可以提供矿化场所,在矿化中后期继续固定游离离子.但是,由于微生物复杂的细胞结构及独特的生理习性,矿化过程的微界面反应机制研究尚显不足,需要利用生物学、矿物学、环境科学等领域的先进技术进一步的探索;同时也应开展宏观生态水平的生物矿化研究,并结合实际问题完善生物矿化在环境污染治理中的理论,为重金属污染地区的治理提供新的思路和技术.      

Metals in feathers of sooty tern, white tern, gray-backed tern, and brown noddy from islands in the North Pacific

Levels of heavy metals are usuallyhigher in adult than young birds because they eatlarger, more contaminated prey, or because they havehad longer to accumulate metals in their tissues.Further, levels of contaminants are usually less inbirds nesting on remote, offshore islands than inbirds breeding closer to mainland areas that areurbanized and industrialized. We examined the featherlevels of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese,mercury, and selenium in adult sooty terns (Sterna fuscata), gray-backed terns (Sterna lunata), and brown noddy (Anous stolidus, and adult and young white terns (Gygis alba, fromMidway Atoll, and in adult and young sooty terns andadult brown noddy from Manana Island, Hawaii (chicksof other terns were not available). We tested andrejected the null hypotheses that metal levels are notsignificantly different among species, ages, andlocations. Despite their small size, adult white ternshad the highest levels of lead, arsenic and tin. Brownnoddies had the highest levels of cadmium, chromium,manganese, and selenium. Sooty and white terns had thehighest levels of mercury. Sooty tern adults hadsignificantly higher levels of cadmium, mercury, andselenium than young, while young had significantlyhigher levels of arsenic and manganese. White ternadults had significantly higher levels of selenium andtin than young, while young had higher levels ofcadmium and mercury than adults. Except for mercury,there were significant inter-location differenceswithin species in all heavy metals. Contrary toexpectation, where the differences were great, metalsgenerally were higher in the feathers of terns andnoddies from Midway than from Manana.

为探明清水江水、鱼体和悬浮物中的汞污染情况,采用地质累积指数、单因子污染指数和潜在生态风险因子对清水江悬浮物进行了汞污染评价以及汞残留指数对清水江鱼体汞进行了污染评价。结果表明,清水江旁海段悬浮物汞污染程度高于清水江下司段,并已达到了重度潜在生态危害水平。然而,清水江水和鱼体未受到汞的污染,分析认为磷化工尾矿可能是加剧清水江悬浮物汞污染的原因之一。
