用GC-μECD分析法测定了浙江台州路桥河流表层沉积物中144种多氯联苯同类物的含量.目的是了解该地区河流沉积物中PCBs的污染水平、空间分布特征和可能来源.结果表明,在路桥区河流沉积物样品中PCBs同类物均有不同程度检出,ΣPCBs的浓度范围1.66～5 930 ng.g-1,均值为763 ng.g-1.样品组成以tri-CBs、tetra-CBs和penta-CBs为主,含量百分比范围分别为2.63%～57.6%、10.4%～54.6%和7.82%～46.1%;octa-CBs和deca-CB含量最低,含量百分比范围分别为0～8.57%和0～11.0%.聚类分析表明,22个样品的污染与Ar1248有关,9个样品的污染与Ar1254有关;6个样品的污染与Ar1016、Ar1232和Ar1242有关.与国内外其它研究及相关环境质量标准相比,该区域表层沉积物PCBs污染处于中高水平,具有较高的生态风险.     

我国西北工业区城市大气多氯联苯来源及健康风险

采用大气被动采样器观测了我国西北城市皋兰的城区和工业集中区2018年非取暖季和取暖季大气中18种多氯联苯（PCBs）的浓度及污染特征,并利用主成分分析、轨迹模型以及呼吸暴露模型对其污染来源和传输迁移、人群健康风险进行分析和评价.研究区大气PCBs浓度为110.2~429.9 pg·m^-3,平均污染程度工业园区较高;PCBs组成以四氯联苯和五氯联苯为主,并且取暖季四氯联苯所占比重明显上升.PCBs污染源以燃烧和工业热过程源、含PCBs电气设备源和PCBs混合源为主,燃烧和工业热过程源污染贡献高于其他污染源,污染贡献达到40.8%;研究区PCBs污染可能在较大程度上受到UP-PCBs排放的影响.轨迹分析表明研究区PCBs可能会通过大气输送至兰州城区;非取暖季研究区可能主要受局地污染的影响,而取暖季则可能会受到西北方向PCBs的污染输入.健康风险评价显示各年龄段人群大气PCBs暴露的非致癌风险水平较低,但终生致癌风险已超过10^-6水平.燃烧和热过程源PCBs排放对居民PCBs暴露有较强影响,且居民长期的PCBs呼吸暴露可能会对其健康产生不利影响.     

几种可能来源对广东某地空气中二(口恶)英的影响

采用高分辨气相色谱法/高分辨质谱法（HRGC/HRMS）对广东某地生活垃圾焚烧厂烟道气及周边环境空气和可能来源的环境空气中17种二英进行了分析.讨论了所有样品中同系物、主要毒性贡献体的特性.并运用主成分和聚类分析法,探究了焚烧厂周边监测点位与焚烧厂排放烟气及可能来源的关系.结果表明周边空气中二英浓度低于焚烧厂烟道气,且不受主导风向的影响.在调查基础上,推断轮胎厂及露天焚烧为可能污染源.轮胎厂二英浓度均低于上风向监测点,露天焚烧空气中二英高于厂界外监测点.对各同类物百分比分析可知,烟道气和所有空气中主要同类物为OCDD、1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD及1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF,但空气中同类物还包括OCDF;焚烧厂周边监测点与轮胎厂空气中二英单体百分浓度相似,烟气与露天焚烧中二英单体分布相似.进一步研究表明所有空气样品中单体1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD和2,3,4,6,7,8-HxCDF与总毒性当量浓度的线性相关系数分别为0.95和0.75,相关性较强.主成分分析及聚类分析表明垃圾焚烧厂对周边空气产生影响,轮胎厂对上风向产生影响,露天焚烧对厂界影响较小.     

Detailed study on the levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins,polychlorinated dibenzofurans and polychlorinated biphenyls in Yusho rice oil

One bottle of Yusho rice oil was obtained from a Yusho family in 1998. The levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the causal oil were investigated with two different approaches and the individual concentrations of all the 17 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/F and 14 coplanar PCB (Co-PCB) congeners were elucidated for the first time. The concentrations of PCDDs and PCDFs were found to be 0.60 and 8.8 ppm, respectively. For PCBs, more than 130 PCB peaks were observed and a total concentration of 850 ppm including 170 ppm of Co-PCBs was obtained. The toxic equivalents (TEQs) of PCDDs, PCDFs, and Co-PCBs were calculated to be 17, 470, and 120 ppb, respectively. The relative contribution of these classes to the total TEQ in Yusho oil is 3%, 77%, and 20%, respectively, indicating that PCDFs play a major role in the toxicity of Yusho oil. Furthermore, it was confirmed that 2,3,4,7,8-penta-CDF contributes 58% to the total TEQ, supporting the view that this compound is the principal causal agent in Yusho poisoning. It is noteworthy that the most toxic 2,3,7,8-tetra-CDD was newly discovered, although it contributes only 0.1% to the total TEQ. Based on our data, the smallest TEQ intake during the latent period was estimated to be 0.067 mg for Yusho patients. This value is about 60% of that previously reported, suggesting a lower minimum threshold level for the development of the toxic symptoms of Yusho.     

Chlorinated components in lime used in production contaminated citrus pulp pellets from Brazil

In order to further understand the contamination of the citrus pulp pellets (CPP) that were exported to Europe in 1997 we examined both contaminated lime and CPP samples for the distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated benzenes (tri–hexa). Standard isotope dilution techniques were applied for all samples, which were analysed by selected ion monitoring high resolution GC–MS. Lime that is used in the production of CPP product is highly contaminated with PCBs and chlorobenzenes.     

Recent survey and effects of cooking processes on levels of PCDDs,PCDFs and Co-PCBs in leafy vegetables in Japan

We report here the latest levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls (Co-PCBs) in leafy vegetables in Japan as well as the effect of cooking processes on the reduction of these contaminants. Three kinds of leafy vegetables (“komatsuna”, lettuce and spinach) from seven districts in Japan in 1998 were analyzed for the 2,3,7,8-chlorine substituted PCDD/Fs and three non-ortho-PCBs (#77, 126 and 169). The mean total TEQ levels (using the WHO-TEFs) in the komatsuna, lettuce and spinach were 0.094, 0.025 and 0.196 pg/g fresh weight, respectively. The TEQ levels are dominated by 2,3,7,8-TCDD, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF and 3,3^′,4,4^′,5-PeCB in many of the samples. For one of these isomers, the 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF TEQ levels showed good correlation with the total TEQ levels in the samples (r=0.957). This suggests that 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF may be an indicator for dioxin contamination in the analysis of the leafy vegetables. Also, the effects of two cooking processes (washing and washing followed by boiling) on the dioxin levels in two types of spinach samples were investigated. On average, in both samples, the total concentrations of the PCDDs, PCDFs and Co-PCB were reduced to about 38%, 73% and 88% of the initial concentrations by washing, and to 21%, 35% and 61% of the initial concentrations by washing followed by boiling. The total TEQ levels were reduced to about 30% of the initial TEQ levels by washing followed by boiling. Significant reductions in the TEQ levels were observed in the cooked samples. Thus, the cooking processes may reduce the risk of dioxin intake from the leafy vegetables.

Benefits and risks associated with consumption of Great Lakes fish containing omega-3 fatty acids and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)

正Introduction Assessment of environmental health effects arising from exposure to multiple substances is often very challenging.This is particularly true when humans are exposed to a mixture that contains both beneficial and harmful substances.A good example relates to the risk and benefits of fish consumption.     

Polychlorinated biphenyls and omega-3 fatty acid exposure from fish consumption, and thyroid cancer among New York anglers

Fish from the Great Lakes contain polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs)which have been shown to disrupt endocrine function and mimic thyroid hormones,but they also contain beneficial omega-3 fatty acids that may offer protection against endocrine cancers.The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Lake Ontario fish consumption and the estimated consumption of PCBs and omega-3 fatty acids on the risk of thyroid cancer in a group of sport fishermen.Anglers from the New York State Angler Cohort Study were followed for cancer incidence from 1991–2008.Twenty-seven cases of incident thyroid cancer and 108 controls were included in the analyses.Total estimated fish consumption,estimated omega-3 fatty acid consumption,and estimated PCB consumption from Lake Ontario fish were examined for an association with the incidence of thyroid cancer,while matching on sex,and controlling for age and smoking status.Results from logistic regression indicate no significant associations between fish consumption,short-term estimated omega-3 fatty acids,or estimated PCB consumption from Great Lakes fish and the development of thyroid cancer,but it was suggested that long-term omega-3 fatty acid from Great Lakes fish may be protective of the development of thyroid cancer.In conclusion,fish consumption,with the possible concomitant PCBs,from the Great Lakes does not appear to increase the risk of thyroid cancer in New York anglers.Further research is needed in order to separate the individual health effects of PCBs from omega-3 fatty acids contained within the fish.     

多氯联苯污染土壤热脱附预处理过程干化及排放特性研究

利用桨叶式干化实验装置对多氯联苯(PCBs)污染土壤热脱附预处理过程的干化特性进行了研究,结果表明干化温度和搅拌速率的提高均有助于加速干化速率;水分的内部扩散是PCBs污染土壤干化速率的主要影响因素.文章还结合高分辨色谱/质谱联用仪研究了PCBs污染土壤预处理过程中多氯联苯的排放特性,结果显示干化温度升高会促进4氯代到7氯代联苯的释放,并且会增加气相PCBs毒性当量(TEQ) 以及PCBs总量排放百分率.考虑安全和干化效果,干化温度选择在200 ℃以下为宜.
