Study of the effects of bisphenol A using human fetal lung fibroblasts

正Bisphenol A(BPA,2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane;CAS#80-05-7)is a highly produced industrial chemical,with an estimated four billion kilograms produced worldwide each year(reviewed in Vandenberg et al.,2010).BPA serves as a monomer in the manufacture of polycarbonate,a hard,clear plastic.Polycarbonate plastics are used in many consumer products,such as reusable water bottles.BPA is also widely used to make epoxy resins,which are used as coating on the inside of some     

草酸促进双酚A在黏土矿物悬浮液中光降解研究

选择两种常见的天然黏土矿物高岭石和蒙脱石,研究了有机污染物双酚A(BPA)在其表面的吸附及草酸对黏土矿物悬浮液中BPA光降解的影响.结果表明,BPA在两种黏土矿物表面的吸附量较小,吸附符合Langmuir等温式.在250W金属卤化物灯(λ≥360nm)照射下,草酸可显著促进BPA在高岭石和蒙脱石悬浮液中的光降解,降解动力学符合Langmuir-Hinshelwood方程. 降解速率受pH值的影响较大,pH=4.0时速度最快,光降解速率同时受草酸浓度的影响.最后,通过分析矿物中铁的化学环境及反应过程中铁浓度变化,分析了草酸促进BPA在黏土矿物悬浮液中光降解的可能机制.     

Fe(Ⅵ)在光催化条件下的分解及协同光催化降解BPA的研究

研究了不同条件下Fe(Ⅵ)-光催化氧化方法对双酚A (BPA)的降解作用.结果表明,在光催化氧化中,TiO₂表面产生的光生电子(e^-_cb)会将Fe(Ⅵ)还原成Fe(Ⅴ)和Fe(Ⅳ),Fe(Ⅵ)的加入对光催化氧化起到了协同作用,提高了光催化氧化的效率.此外,还研究了Fe(Ⅵ)在不同条件下的分解情况,发现光催化氧化能促进Fe(Ⅵ)的分解,随着pH值的增加,TiO₂表面吸附Fe(Ⅵ)的能力减弱.采用光催化氧化方法降解BPA时,加入Fe(Ⅵ)可以提高BPA的氧化降解速率2.5倍.     

Predictors of urinary bisphenol A and phthalate metabolite concentrations in Mexican children

Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates is prevalent among children and adolescents, but little is known regarding important sources of exposure at these sensitive life stages. In this study, we measured urinary concentrations of BPA and nine phthalate metabolites in 108 Mexican children aged 8–13 years. Associations of age, time of day, and questionnaire items on external environment, water use, and food container use with specific gravity-corrected urinary concentrations were assessed, as were questionnaire items concerning the use of 17 personal care products in the past 48-h. As a secondary aim, third trimester urinary concentrations were measured in 99 mothers of these children, and the relationship between specific gravity-corrected urinary concentrations at these two time points was explored. After adjusting for potential confounding by other personal care product use in the past 48-h, there were statistically significant (p < 0.05) positive associations in boys for cologne/perfume use and monoethyl phthalate (MEP), mono(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate (MCPP), mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP), and in girls for colored cosmetics use and mono-n-butyl phthalate (MBP), mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), MEHHP, MEOHP, and mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate (MECPP), conditioner use and MEP, deodorant use and MEP, and other hair products use and MBP. There was a statistically significant positive trend for the number of personal care products used in the past 48-h and log-MEP in girls. However, there were no statistically significant associations between the analytes and the other questionnaire items and there were no strong correlations between the analytes measured during the third trimester and at 8–13 years of age. We demonstrated that personal care product use is associated with exposure to multiple phthalates in children. Due to rapid development, children may be susceptible to impacts from exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals; thus, reduced or delayed use of certain personal care products among children may be warranted.     

基于不同毒性终点的双酚A(BPA)预测无效应浓度(PNEC)研究

双酚A(BPA)已被证实是一种类雌激素类物质。本研究根据BPA对水生生物毒性效应的特点,按照不同的毒性终点将BPA的毒性数据进行归类,采用物种敏感度分布法(species sensitivity distribution,SSD)推导了BPA对水生生物的预测无效应浓度(predicted no effect concentration,PNEC)。结果表明:以雌激素效应为暴露终点的急、慢性PNEC分别为25.11μg·L-1、1.075μg·L-1;而以所有数据的急、慢性毒性效应为暴露终点推导的PNEC值分别为355.7μg·L-1、7.549μg·L-1。BPA对水生生物的雌激素效应更为敏感,建议在推导BPA这类内分泌干扰物的PNEC值时,应依据其毒性终点分别推导,从而得到更加合理的基准值。研究成果以期为我国地表水环境质量标准的制修订提供数据支持。     

双酚A诱导下双齿围沙蚕实时荧光定量P CR内参基因的筛选

为了筛选出在双酚A诱导下双齿围沙蚕(Perinereis aibuhitensis)体壁组织中最适内参基因,以不同浓度双酚A诱导下双齿围沙蚕互补脱氧核糖核酸(cDNA)为模板进行实时荧光定量PCR,利用Ge Norm、Norm Finder和Bestkeeper三个软件对肌动蛋白(beta-actin, Actin)、核糖体蛋白5(ribosomal protein L5, RPL5)、甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶(glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, GAPDH)、微管蛋白(β-tubulin, Tub)、琥珀酸脱氢酶(succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A, SDHA)和组蛋白(Histone Cluster 1 H_2A Family Member A, HH_2A)这6个备选内参基因的表达量进行分析,筛选出稳定表达的内参基因。结果表明6个内参基因的基因表达量由大到小为ActinGAPDHSDHAHH_2ATubRPL5,Bestkeeper软件分析得到6种内参基因稳定性排名为ActinRPL5SDHATubHH_2AGAPDH,Ge Norm软件分析得出6种内参基因的稳定性排名为SDHARPL5ActinTubHH_2AGAPDH,Normfinder分析的结果为ActinSDHARPL5TubHH_2AGAPDH。综合以上结果确定双酚A诱导下双齿围沙蚕最优内参基因为Actin,不推荐GAPDH作为内参基因使用。推荐同时选取多对内参基因进行实验,可以进一步减少误差。

建立了液液萃取（LLE）—气相色谱-质谱（GC-MS）法同时测定石化废水中双酚A（BPA）和邻苯二甲酸二乙酯（DEP）的新方法,对液液萃取条件进行了优化。最佳的液液萃取条件为：萃取剂为乙酸乙酯,水样调成酸性（pH<2）,每次加入萃取剂0.1 mL/mL、盐析剂NaCl 0.1 g/mL,萃取次数为6次,每次萃取时间为2 min。实验结果表明：在质量浓度1~100 mg/L的范围内,BPA和DEP测定标准曲线的线性关系良好;BPA和DEP的检出限（LOD）分别为5.18 μg/L和0.89 μg/L,定量限（LOQ）分别为17.11 μg/L和2.96 μg/L,回收率为81.4 %~124.9 %,相对标准偏差（RSD）（n=7）小于5.5 %。     

Photocatalytic degradation of endocrine disruptor Bisphenol-A in the presence of prepared CexZn1-xO nanocomposites under irradiation of sunlight

Photocatalytic degradation of Bisphenol A （BPA）, a representative endocrine disruptor chemical, was carried out under irradiation of sunlight in the presence of CexZn1-xO nanophotocatalyst. Cerium （Ce） ions were successfully incorporated into the bulk lattice of ZnO by simple co-precipitation process. The CexZn1-xO composite nanostructures exhibited higher photocatalytic efficiency than pure ZnO in the degradation of BPA under sunlight irradiation and nearly complete mineralization of BPA was achieved. The degradation rate was strongly dependent on factors such as the size and structure of catalyst, doping material concentration, BPA concentration, catalyst load, irradiation time and pH levels. This work suggested that the CexZn1-xO assisted photocatalytic degradation is a versatile, economic, environmentally benign and efficient method for BPA removal in the aqueous environment.     

我国淡水水体中双酚A(BPA)的生态风险评价

双酚A(BPA)对水生生物有多种毒性效应,其中雌激素作用尤为显著.本研究依据BPA对水生生物是否有雌激素效应,把数据分为两类,并通过商值法、安全阈值法、商值概率法以及联合概率曲线法评价了我国淡水水体中BPA对水生生物的风险程度.结果表明,采用4种评价方法得出的结果相近,我国淡水生物对BPA的雌激素效应较BPA对水生生物的其他毒性作用更为敏感;安全阈值法较商值法、商值概率法、联合概率风险评价法误差较小,评价结果更为可信.用安全阈值法评价结果表明,以BPA的雌激素作用为效应终点时,水生生物长期暴露于我国淡水环境中,我国64.70%的淡水水体有导致超过5%的水生生物受到雌激素作用的风险,BPA安全浓度上限为15.72 ng·L-1;而水生物种短期暴露于我国淡水环境中,我国20.43%的淡水水体有导致超过5%的我国淡水生物受BPA雌激素作用的干扰,此时BPA安全浓度上限为2.24×102ng·L-1.
