Nonylphenols in freshwaters of the hydrologic system of an Italian district: association with human activities and evaluation of human exposure

A sampling campaign for the determination of concentrations of nonylphenol isomers (NPs) in freshwaters and sediments of the hydrologic system of the Rieti district (central Italy) was conducted from 2002 to 2003. Eighteen sampling points, selected on the basis of the different human activities in the vicinity, were monitored; six series of water samples (from June 2002 to February 2003) and one of sediment samples (summer 2002) were analyzed by GC/MS.

There was a direct relationship between concentrations of NPs and the presence of urban or industrial activities near the sampling point. However, concentrations of NPs in water were in the range of <0.1–1.4 μg l⁻¹, and their presence limited to short distances from the sources of contamination. Accumulation factors in sediment samples ranged from 10² to 5 × 10³.     

Simpson—Golabi—Behmel syndrome: Disproportionate fetal overgrowth and elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein

Simpson—Golabi—Behmel (SGB) syndrome is an X-linked condition with pre- and postnatal overgrowth, characteristic facies, and visceral and skeletal anomalies. We report an affected male who presented at 16 weeks' gestation with elevated maternal serum α-fetoprotein (MSAFP). Fetal measurements at 20 and 31 weeks' gestation were disproportionate, with marked macrosomia but a low head to abdominal circumference ratio and normal femur length. Fetal overgrowth with elevated MSAFP may prove to be useful markers for the prenatal diagnosis of SGB syndrome.     

Seven microcystins from Microcystis waterbloom in Lake Dalai,China

Seven types of microcystins,isolated from Microcystis waterbloom in Lake Dalai, were characterized.The major toxins:MCYST-LR,MCYST-RR,[D-Asp³]MCYST-LR and [Dha⁷]MCYST-LR were identified by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),as compared with the authentic microcystins.The minor toxins:MCYST FR,[L-Mser⁷]MCYST-LR and an unknown MCYST which was most likely to be MCYST-(H₄)YR were identified with fritfast atom bombardment liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry(Frit-FAB LC/MS)and amino acid analysis.The toxigenic diversity in blue-green algae(cyanobacteria)was discussed.     

不同场所室内空气中主要有机污染物的定性分析

利用大气采样罐对不同场所如居室、汽车、超市的室内空气进行采样,利用预浓缩器将气体样品冷聚焦,并去除水和CO2,然后自动将样品导入气相色谱质谱,分析其中的主要有机污染物。结果表明,室内、轿车和超市内的有机污染物主要为苯系物、卤代烃、烷烃和酮类,它们大部分来自板材、涂料、皮革和装饰物等。该方法采样快速简单,分析操作中不需使用任何有机试剂,实验背景干扰少,定性分析准确。     

Volatile Organic Compounds in the Area of Madrid: A Chemometrical Approach

Multivariate techniques have been applied to the set of dataobtained after one year sampling of volatile organic compounds(VOCs), including volatile aldehydes in the area of Madrid inorder to evaluate the possible correspondence among groups ofanalysed compounds, as far as modelling of different emissionsources in relation to location and season. The measurements were carried out at four sites in Madrid, characteristic for urban and suburban areas. Additionally, as reference, a rural area 100 km far from the city was considered. Results of correlation analysis, factor and cluster analysis are presented.Higher correlations were found between variables related withtraffic emissions. Factor analysis results showed two mainsignificant variables related to anthropogenic and biogenicemissions respectively. In relation to cluster analysis, samples were grouped according to sampling site and seasonal variations.

Inventory and treatment of compost maturation emissions in a municipal solid waste treatment facility

Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the compost maturation building in a municipal solid waste treatment facility were inventoried by solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A large diversity of chemical classes and compounds were found. The highest concentrations were found for n-butanol, methyl ethyl ketone and limonene (ppm_v level). Also, a range of compounds exceeded their odor threshold evidencing that treatment was needed. Performance of a chemical scrubber followed by two parallel biofilters packed with an advanced packing material and treating an average airflow of 99,300 m³ h^?1 was assessed in the treatment of the VOCs inventoried. Performance of the odor abatement system was evaluated in terms of removal efficiency by comparing inlet and outlet abundances. Outlet concentrations of selected VOCs permitted to identify critical odorants emitted to the atmosphere. In particular, limonene was found as the most critical VOC in the present study. Only six compounds from the odorant group were removed with efficiencies higher than 90%. Low removal efficiencies were found for most of the compounds present in the emission showing a significant relation with their chemical properties (functionality and solubility) and operational parameters (temperature, pH and inlet concentration). Interestingly, benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol were found to be produced in the treatment system.
