根据SSD推导PFOS沉积物质量基准及其在生态风险评估中的应用

沉积物中蓄积的PFOS（perfluorooctane sulfonate,全氟辛烷磺酸）对水体生态环境具有潜在的危害.为了合理评估沉积物中PFOS的危害,探究了沉积物中PFOS对摇蚊（Chironomus kiiensis）、钩虾（Hyalella azteca）、霍甫水丝蚓（Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri）等底栖生物的毒性效应;同时,以毒性试验结果和搜集的PFOS相关毒性数据为基础,利用SSD（species sensitivity distributions,物种敏感度分布法）推导PFOS沉积物质量基准;最后,将基准值与从文献中搜集得到的我国七大水系沉积物中w（PFOS）进行比较,以评估PFOS风险.结果表明:①沉积物中PFOS对摇蚊的毒性效应最为显著,其96 h、10 d、21 d毒性试验中LC₅₀分别为0.894、0.770和0.536 μg/g（以干质量计,下同）;10 d毒性试验中w（PFOS）最高值为156.5 μg/g时,钩虾未出现显著死亡,21 d毒性试验中LC₅₀为70.5 μg/g;在w（PFOS）最高值分别为112.4和76.4 μg/g的10和21 d毒性试验中,霍甫水丝蚓均未出现显著死亡.②沉积物中PFOS的CMC_sed（急性基准值）为28.6 μg/g,CCC_sed（慢性基准值）为0.060 μg/g.③我国七大水系96.0%的沉积物中w（PFOS）低于CCC_sed;其余的沉积物中w（PFOS）高于CCC_sed但低于CMC_sed,这些采样点主要分布在黄河中下游和长江下游.研究显示,我国七大水系沉积物中PFOS总体风险较低,但黄河中下游和长江下游沉积物中蓄积的PFOS可能具有潜在的风险,需要给予更多的关注.      

流域水质预警体系研究与应用进展

流域水质预警是水质监控管理的重要组成部分,完善的流域水质预警体系可为流域水污染处理提供充足时间和所需信息,有效削减水污染对水环境造成的影响.对国内外的流域水质预警体系研究进展分别从预警体系目标、预警指标、预警阈值及模拟模型4个方面进行了综述,并且对目前国内外典型流域水质预警体系进行了分析.结果表明:流域水质预警体系目标主要从流域水体功能和水体污染风险2个方面进行考虑;预警指标可分为物化和生物毒性指标2类,生物毒性指标可弥补物化指标的不足,但不能完全替代,二者联合并施是未来预警指标筛选的发展方向;预警阈值的制定依据环境质量标准、排放标准、水质现状及污染源特征等信息,采用单指标多次报警、多指标联合报警或物化与生物毒性指标联合报警等方式,可提高预警体系的稳定和可靠性;污染物迁移转化模型已有一些成熟应用,但大部分模型依然需要大量的参数和历史数据才能保证准确性,因此对于大型流域难以适用.目前我国还未有国家层面完整的流域水质预警体系和相关流程在应用,特别是缺乏可靠的污染物迁移转化模型.未来应从建立典型流域水质预警体系着手,集成地方流域成熟应用的污染物迁移转化模型,逐步完善国家层面的流域水质预警体系,为我国流域水质安全提供保障.      

UV/Cl工艺对三氯生的去除与降解机理研究

对UV/Cl高级氧化工艺降解水中广谱抗菌剂三氯生（TCS）进行研究,对比单一UV、单一Cl和UV/Cl工艺对TCS的去除效果.考察UV光强、余氯初始浓度、溶液pH值和氨氮浓度等因素对反应的影响,探究TCS在UV/Cl工艺中的降解机理,评估其生态风险.结果表明,与单一UV、单一Cl相比,TCS在UV/Cl工艺中降解效果较好,反应符合准一级反应动力学,降解速率常数随UV光强、余氯初始浓度增大而增大,随NH₄⁺-N浓度的增加而减小.基于HRMS Q-TOF解析出17种中间产物,提出了降解反应路径.发光细菌毒性分析和ECOSAR预测均表明,TCS在UV/Cl工艺中产生毒性较高的中间产物,随着反应的进行,产生了毒性较低的中间产物,生态环境风险得以减少.     

保护陆生生态的土壤铜环境基准研究

通过调研国内外Cu生态毒理研究,收集并筛选土壤Cu的10%效应浓度（EC₁₀）和无效应浓度（NOEC）,分组构建陆生植物/无脊椎动物和土壤生态过程的物种敏感性分布模型（SSD）,结合模型平均法推导不同土地利用方式下重金属Cu的生态安全阈值.针对保护陆生植物/无脊椎动物,自然保护地和农业用地土壤、公园用地、住宅用地和工/商用地的土壤Cu生态阈值分别为10.9~38.9,21.0~77.5,36.6~124,47.6~151mg/kg;针对保护生态过程,自然保护地和农业用地土壤、公园用地、住宅用地和工/商用地的土壤Cu生态阈值分别为4.49~72.2,19.9~135,60.9~220,96.8~277mg/kg.     

Effects of nanopesticide chlorfenapyr on mice

The effects of chlorfenapyr nano preparation on mice were examined. The animals were administered with different doses of 4.84, 9.68, or 19.36?mg?kg^?1 of chlorfenapyr common preparation or nano preparation intraperitoneally (IP). Micronucleus (MN) test and comet assay (CA) experiments revealed that at the same dose, similar DNA damage in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of the mouse and chromosome damage in bone marrow cells of the mouse occurred with chlorfenapyr nano preparation; however, the severity of these effects was less than that found in common preparation. It is noteworthy that there were no differences in apoptotic ratio and live cell percentage in the liver cells of the mouse between these two pesticide formulations using flow cytometry. Data indicate that chlorfenapyr nanoformulation is less toxic to mouse cells than the common formulation.     

Toxic effect of microcystin-LR on blood vessel development

Abstract

The effect of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) at 50–1000?nmol/L on blood vessel development of zebrafish embryos has been explored. Upon exposure 72-h-post-fertilization (hpf), the hatching rate was significantly reduced and malformation and fatality rates were increased in a dose-dependent manner. MC-LR induced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1-phase and damaged DNA structure in a dose-dependent manner. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), MC-LR led to decreased activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and catalase (CAT) and increased lipid peroxidation. These findings indicated that MC-LR could cause oxidative DNA damage, which mediated cell cycle arrest and inhibited cell proliferation afterwards, and retarded the blood vessel development.     

A theoretical‐methodological approach towards the evaluation of environmental pollutants

The recognition and analysis as well as a generally applicable ecotoxicological evaluation are parts of the strategy towards the determination of changes in the quality of environmental compartments and their effects on humans. The progress in the field of identification of qualitative effects calls for the creation of a theoretical basis for the empirical findings. With this task being the main concern, fundamental ideas on a theoretical‐methodological approach towards the ecotoxicological evaluation of environmental chemicals are discussed. The relationships between the molecular structure and the effect of the substances in abiotic and biotic environmental compartments are the basis of this approach.     

Evaluating the toxicity of food processing wastes as co-digestion substrates with dairy manure

Studies have shown that including food waste as a co-digestion substrate in the anaerobic digestion of livestock manure can increase energy production. However, the type and inclusion rate of food waste used for co-digestion need to be carefully considered in order to prevent adverse conditions in the digestion environment. This study determined the effect of increasing the concentration (2%, 5%, 15% and 30%, by volume) of four food-processing wastes (meatball, chicken, cranberry and ice cream processing wastes) on methane production. Anaerobic toxicity assay (ATA) and specific methanogenic activity (SMA) tests were conducted to determine the concentration at which each food waste became toxic to the digestion environment. Decreases in methane production were observed at concentrations above 5% for all four food waste substrates, with up to 99% decreases in methane production at 30% food processing wastes (by volume).     

城市污水对斑马鱼胚胎的影响

采用静态法,在实验室控制条件下,观察处理前后的城市污水对斑马鱼胚胎的毒性效应,并探讨其对斑马鱼胚胎可能的毒性机理。结果表明,兰州市安宁区M污水处理厂处理前的污水、处理后接触池出水和接触池出水入黄河排污口水对胚胎均有较高的毒性,其72 h EC50在21.384%～108.492%之间;对处理胚胎孵化成的仔鱼毒性也很明显。上述几种污水均降低斑马鱼胚胎的孵化率,增加胚胎及其孵化仔鱼的畸形。     

生石灰对福寿螺的毒性效应研究

通过室内毒性试验,探索了生石灰对不同大小福寿螺的毒性效应。试验中将福寿螺按照壳高（H）分为小螺（5 mm≤H〈15 mm）、中螺（15 mm≤H〈25 mm）、大螺（25 mm≤H〈35 mm）和超大螺（35 mm≤H〈45 mm）,结果表明：（1）生石灰的控螺效应显著,尤其是对中小福寿螺具很强的抑制和杀灭作用;生石灰处理6 d,除了最低质量浓度0.05 g.L-1处理造成35%死亡率,其他处理死亡率均在70%以上,其中0.20、0.50、1.00和2.00 g.L-1处理中超过90%的福寿螺死亡。（2）生石灰对不同大小福寿螺的半抑制质量浓度（24 h）大小顺序为超大螺〉中螺、大螺〉小螺,半致死质量浓度（24 h）大小顺序为超大螺〉大螺〉中螺〉小螺;（3）生石灰对福寿螺的毒性以抑制效应为主,生石灰对福寿螺的平均半抑制质量浓度为0.06～0.22 g.L-1,低于平均半致死质量浓度0.11～1.09 g.L-1;（4）0.50 g.L-1和2.00 g.L-1质量浓度的石灰处理12 h后,福寿螺鰓组织SOD酶活性呈极显著下降,分别为对照的33%和38%。研究表明,生石灰可用于防治入侵生物福寿螺,在实践中可部分替代杀螺剂的使用。
