苯并[α]芘对海洋微藻生长及细胞特征的影响

采用急性毒性实验方法,研究了苯并[α]芘(B[α]P)对3种海洋微藻生长和细胞特征的影响。结果表明,B[α]P对3种海洋微藻生长的抑制呈显著的时间-剂量效应,其96 h半数效应浓度依次为:湛江等鞭金藻17.00μg/L,塔溪堤等鞭金藻25.18μg/L,牟氏角毛藻83.06μg/L。高浓度B[α]P胁迫96 h后,3种海洋微藻细胞体积和细胞内容物颗粒均有增加,而藻细胞叶绿素含量却随着B[α]P浓度的增加而降低。这一研究说明,B[α]P对微藻细胞形态及光合能力均能造成明显影响,并可抑制藻细胞数量的增长。B[α]P对藻细胞的抑制作用存在种的差异性,相对来说,金藻类微藻对B[α]P更为敏感。     

咪唑类ILs对天然水体中斜生栅藻的毒性效应

以生物监测方法,利用国际标准指示性生物斜生栅藻研究了六种咪唑类离子液体的毒性效应,得出了这几种离子液体对自然水体中斜生栅藻96h的半数影响浓度,并初步讨论了待测物的结构和性质对毒性效应的影响。实验结果表明:当固定一取代基为甲基时,咪唑类离子液体对斜生栅藻的抑制作用随着另一烷基取代链长度的增加而加强;而当固定阳离子不变时,发现阴离子所表现出来的对斜生栅藻的抑制作用并不是很明显。     

MBR与A／O工艺处理低温高盐废水的对比试验研究

就MBR和A／O工艺对高盐废水（50％海水）进行处理效果试验研究,比较了氨氮及总氮去除率随温度的变化情况。试验结果表明：低温条件下MBR与A／O工艺经过长期驯化能够稳定运行且获得较高的去除率;随温度从25qC降低到15℃、9℃、5℃时,MBR工艺的COD去除率从81．6％变化到79％、81．1％、82．7％,A／O工艺的COD去除率从67．9％变化到66．6％、65．5％、78．4％。MBR工艺的氨氮去除率从75％变化到68．3％、57．8％、54．6％,A／O工艺的氨氮去除率从70．4％变化到55．9％、49．2％、48．9％,可见COD受温度变化的影响要比氨氮受温度变化的影响小,但经过一段时间的驯化之后,去除效果逐渐变好,并且MBR工艺比A／O工艺受温度变化的冲击要小,处理效果也相对较好。     

利用概率单位法估算EC50的研究（Estimation of Probit Methods on EC50）

以两组典型毒性数据为例,综合比较了5种常见概率单位模型计算程序在EC50估算上的差异,并在此基础上比较了3种不同置信区间的估算方法.在对照组受抑制率为零时,5种方法的参数估算结果一致;当对照组受抑制率不为零时,将对照组数据纳入整个计算过程的方法可以给出可靠的参数估算结果.3种不同置信区间估算方法的比较表明:在毒性数据分布对称性良好的情况下,基于Delta函数与Fieller定理的方法给出的结果相近,但后者可以在更广泛的情况下给出置信区间;相比而言,基于bootstrap重抽样的非参数方法获得的置信区间较窄,表现出更好的灵敏度.     

不同油类对虾蟹类幼体的胁迫效应

了解不同油类对虾蟹类幼体的急性毒性效应。曝油处理采用磁力搅拌器搅拌,一定时间的超声波乳化等操作,模拟溢油在海洋中风浪、涡动、湍流的乳化过程;设置阶梯浓度组,并在多个平行组急性试验的基础上,估算出8种油品对2种虾类和2种蟹类的半致死质量浓度LC50和安全质量浓度MPC,并运用程序编制溢油质量浓度与虾蟹类死亡率相关性的估算模型。经过分析,结果得到:各MPC值参差不齐,差距较大;燃料油普遍比原油的毒性效应大;相同生长阶段,蟹类比虾类抗油毒害性强、中国明对虾Fenneropenaeus chinensis比日本囊对虾Marsupenaeus japonicus抗油毒害性强、锯缘青蟹Scylla serrata比三疣梭子蟹Portunus trituberculatu抗油毒害性强。编制的溢油质量浓度与死亡率相关性的评估模型,简易方便直观,为渔业污染事故理赔提供了一定的参考价值,亦为海域的生态经济学评估提供了一种新的研究方法。     

IC反应器处理制药废水的颗粒污泥驯化和快速启动

试验研究了厌氧内循环(IC)反应器处理化工合成制药废水时,颗粒污泥的驯化培养启动过程.IC反应器控制在中温条件运行,接种颗粒污泥取自处理味精废水的厌氧上升流式污泥床反应器,驯化开始采用葡萄糖基质与制药废水混合废水,然后很快转化为全部是生物难降解的合成制药废水.结果表明,采用高负荷、高进水浓度的启动控制条件,经历23d的启动运行,IC反应器的容积负荷达到5 kgCOD/(m3·d), COD去除率达到70%~80%.在容积负荷达到7.4kgCOD/(m3·d)时,COD的去除率仍可稳定在70%左右.IC反应器中的成熟颗粒污泥形状规则、密实、粒径大.扫描电镜观察发现,颗粒污泥中古细菌产甲烷鬓毛菌(Methanosaetaceae)占优势. IC反应器处理难降解废水在高负荷、高进水浓度条件下可实现快速培养驯化和启动.     

异噻唑啉酮类化合物对三角褐指藻的抑制效应

研究了不同浓度异噻唑啉酮类化合物BIT(1,2-苯并异噻唑啉-3-酮)及其类似物X(N-丙酰基-1,2-苯并异噻唑啉酮-3-酮)对三角褐指藻生长的抑制效应.根据藻细胞生长、比生长速率、藻细胞密度比、藻细胞内色素含量变化结果表明,在实验所设定的浓度(0~3mg/L)范围内,BIT和X在高浓度下对三角褐指藻生长均具有一定的抑制效应,增加细胞生长的延滞期,但在低浓度下不明显,BIT的抑制效应优于X,但BIT和X的这种抑制作用均会随着处理时间的延长而减弱,藻细胞逐渐恢复快速增殖.根据Logistic曲线方程拟合获得的BIT和X对藻的96h半效应质量浓度(EC50)分别为1.95mg/L(R2=0.988, P=0.0013)和3.26mg/L(R2=0.908, P=0.0279),EC50值的大小进一步说明BIT比X对三角褐指藻的抑制作用强.     

Acute toxicity of potassium permanganate to Caspian roach Rutilus rutilus caspicus in two size classes and under different aeration conditions

Caspian roach, Rutilus rutilus caspicus, might experience potassium permanganate (PM) toxicity, because it is common and widely used disinfectant in fish rearing and propagation centers in Iran. Thus, acute toxicity (24-h-LC₅₀) of PM was determined on Caspian roach in two size classes (small and large groups), under aerated and non-aerated conditions, using static non-renewal system. 24-h-LC₅₀ for PM in Caspian roach was 3.2, 3, 3.2, and 2.8?mg?L^?1 in large-aerated, large-non-aerated, small-aerated, and small-non-aerated groups, respectively. Results indicated that aeration was led to decrease in PM toxicity, regardless of size class. However, large fish showed more tolerance to PM toxicity compared to small ones, under non-aerated condition. It is concluded that aeration could decrease the toxicity of PM that seems to be due to the increase in PM degradation, derived from increase in water turbulence. It is suggested that 96-h-LC₅₀ may be more suitable to determine the effects of fish size on PM toxicity than 24-h-LC₅₀.     

Formation of resistance in the Chironomus plumosus to four pesticides over 45 generations

A study was conducted on the Chironomus plumosus larvae to determine initiation of resistance to four pesticides – chlorfenvinphos, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, and malathion. First generational LC₅₀ values were well within the threshold value for chironomids based upon the literature. Subsequent LC₅₀ values were observed to increase, indicating a lessening of the toxicity of the pesticides to the chironomid. In the case of chlorfenvinphos, the 96 h LC₅₀ for generations 1–23 was 6 µg L^?1, in generations 3–7 was 8.57 µg L^?1 and 11.14 µg L^?1 for generations 8–9. Generations 10–12 had an LC₅₀ value of 22.58 µg L^?1 and generation 13 had an LC₅₀ value of 35.08 µg L^?1. Generation 14 had an LC₅₀ value of 47.58 µg L^?1. Generations 15–19 and 20–24 had 96 h LC₅₀ values of 60.68 µg L^?1, 72.58 µg L^?1, 85.08 µg L^?1, 97.58 µg L^?1 and 110.08 µg L^?1, respectively. Generations 25, 26 to 30, 31 to 38 and 39 to 45 had 96 h LC₅₀ values of 160.42 µg L^?1, 210.7 µg L^?1, 262.24 µg L^?1 and 274.36 µg L^?1, respectively. The variation between LC₅₀ values was found to be statistically significant. This was observed for most pesticides tested. Larval size and life cycle duration was observed to change from generation to generation with the body size decreasing markedly from 1 to 0.3 cm with life cycle increasing from 7 to 39 days.     

Lindane toxicity range-finding test in Senegal sole (Solea senegalensis) juvenile: note on histopathological alterations

The purpose of this study was to examine the sublethal and/or lethal effects produced by exposure of teleostean fish Solea senegalensis to γ isomer of lindane, γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH). S. senegalensis was exposed to 0.1, 1 or 10 mg L^?1 of lindane for 96 h. Samples of different tissues (gills, liver and kidney) were extracted and processed for histopathological observations. The 72 h LC₅₀ value of pesticide was found to be 0.16 ± 0.04 mg L^?1 γ-HCH. Histological observations including aneurysms and hypertrophy of lamellar epithelia in gills, blood stagnation and vacuolization in liver and alterations in the hematopoietic tissue in kidney were observed. The results of the study show the sensitivity of juvenile of S. senegalensis to lindane and histology as a reliable tool to detect the sublethal effects of pollutants on the environment and aquatic biota. The toxicological implications arising from these results are the subject for further multi-concentration tests useful in establishing water quality criteria.
