垃圾填埋场地下水污染对居民健康的风险评价

调查了某垃圾填埋场地下水和周边居民饮用水中的As、Hg等重金属和挥发酚等有机物的污染状况,运用美国环保局的健康风险计算模型,评估了该垃圾填埋场地下水对周边居民的潜在健康风险。结果表明,各类人群对4种有阈化合物的饮食和皮肤暴露的终身健康危险度在8．2×10^-11～1．3×10^-10之间,均低于可以接受的风险水平10^-6;对As的终身超额健康危险度在3．1×10^-7～4．9×10^-7之间,表明地下水中砷污染对居民潜在的致癌风险不明显。各类人群通过皮肤对Hg、As、Cd和挥发酚的暴露剂量比通过饮水暴露的剂量高0．7倍～14．5倍,皮肤暴露将是地下水影响人体健康并构成潜在风险的重要途径。     

Gamma dose measurement in dwellings of Agastheeswaram Taluk of Kanyakumari district, lying 30 km Radius from Kudankulam nuclear power plant site

Most of the building materials contain naturally occurring radioactive elements, the most important of which are potassium ⁴⁰K and the members of two natural radioactive series, which can be represented by the isotopes of thorium ²³²Th and Uranium ²³⁸U. The presence of these radioisotopes in the materials causes external exposure to the people who live in the building. In addition, the disintegration of Uranium ²³⁸U increases the concentration of radon gas ²²²Rn and of its daughters in the house. So a systematic indoor gamma dose measurement has been performed in the dwellings of Agastheeswaram Taluk of Kanyakumari district, which is lying within the 30 km radius from the upcoming Kudankulam nuclear power plant site. The geometric mean of annual absorbed dose from gamma radiation in dwellings has been found to be 278 nGyh⁻¹. The seasonal variation of indoor gamma dose measurements has also been studied. Significant differences have been observed in dwellings built of different materials such as concrete, tiled, etc.     

全氟化合物发育神经毒性研究进展

全氟化合物(PFCs)在工业生产和生活中广泛应用,已成为环境中一类普遍的污染物。由于PFCs污染表现出全球性、持久性和富集性等特征,其毒性备受关注。近期研究结果显示,PFCs除对肝脏、免疫系统和生殖内分泌系统等有明显影响外,还具有发育神经毒性。在总结了近年来PFCs发育神经毒性的研究进展基础上,讨论了PFCs发育神经毒性可能的几个机制,并且分析该领域研究存在的问题,提出应该加强环境相关剂量下PFCs发育神经毒性研究,关注PFCs与其他神经毒物复合暴露的发育神经毒性,以推进对实际环境中PFCs所产生的神经损伤的认识。     

Chemical characterisation of particulate matter in urban transport modes

Traffic is a main source of air pollutants in urban areas and consequently daily peak exposures tend to occur during commuting. Personal exposure to particulate matter (PM) was monitored while cycling and travelling by bus, car and metro along an assigned route in Lisbon (Portugal), focusing on PM2.5 and PM10 (PM with aerodynamic diameter <2.5 and 10 µm, respectively) mass concentrations and their chemical composition. In vehicles, the indoor-outdoor interplay was also evaluated. The PM2.5 mean concentrations were 28?±?5, 31?±?9, 34?±?9 and 38?±?21?µg/m³ for bus, bicycle, car and metro modes, respectively. Black carbon concentrations when travelling by car were 1.4 to 2.0 times higher than in the other transport modes due to the closer proximity to exhaust emissions. There are marked differences in PM chemical composition depending on transport mode. In particular, Fe was the most abundant component of metro PM, derived from abrasion of rail-wheel-brake interfaces. Enhanced concentrations of Zn and Cu in cars and buses were related with brake and tyre wear particles, which can penetrate into the vehicles. In the motorised transport modes, Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni and K were correlated, evidencing their common traffic-related source. On average, the highest inhaled dose of PM2.5 was observed while cycling (55 µg), and the lowest in car travels (17 µg). Cyclists inhaled higher doses of PM2.5 due to both higher inhalation rates and longer journey times, with a clear enrichment in mineral elements. The presented results evidence the importance of considering the transport mode in exposure assessment studies.

利用紫露草微核效应检测工业废水技术的研究

利用紫露草微核技术检测废水微核效应,往往会遇到因废水pH值过高、过低,或由于废水成分复杂、毒性大,难以进行微核检测。为此,作者研究了有关的技术,取得了理想的结果。研究结果表明,调节废水pH值会使废水中金属离子价态发生改变而改变其化学形态,所以在进行微核检测时,以不调pH值的原状态废水为最好。废水在一定剂量范围内对紫露草微核具有诱变作用,所以处理剂量要视废水的毒性、pH值的不同而不同。最好在检测前作好预实验,找出处理紫露草花序的适宜剂量;同时还要以四分体中不出现死细胞为宜。     

上海地表灰尘重金属污染的健康风险评价

对上海中心城区文教区、居民区和城市广场等儿童日常活动区域代表样点进行定期采样,共采集48个地表灰尘样品,应用美国EPA人体暴露风险评价方法对地表灰尘重金属进行健康风险评价.结果表明,研究区域地表灰尘重金属污染较为严重,Zn、Pb、Cu和Cd平均值分别为上海市土壤背景值的6~8倍,Cr和Ni超出2~3倍.暴露模型计算表明,重金属慢性每日平均暴露量为手-口接触摄入量＞皮肤吸收量＞吸入空气量,经手-口接触行为直接摄入是儿童地表灰尘暴露风险的主要途径.重金属非致癌风险Pb＞Cr＞Ni＞Cu＞Zn＞Cd,均小于非致癌风险阈值1,对人体不会造成健康危害;致癌重金属致癌风险Cr＞Ni＞Cd,均低于癌症风险阈值,表明不具有致癌风险.     

蚯蚓细胞色素P450亚酶及代谢组学对土壤亚致死剂量草甘膦除草剂的响应

以赤子爱胜蚓（Eisenia fetida）为受试生物,通过外源添加污染物的方法,研究了暴露于亚致死剂量草甘膦（添加剂量分别为5、10、20、40 mg·kg^-1）的土壤中7 d后,蚯蚓生长抑制率、细胞色素P450亚酶（CYP1A2、2C9与3A4）活力及代谢组学对土壤草甘膦的响应,旨在探讨亚致死剂量草甘膦能否对非靶标生物蚯蚓产生不良影响及其毒性作用机制,初步推断其毒性作用阈值,并筛选敏感生物标记物.结果表明：从蚯蚓生长抑制率来看,各处理组与对照组无显著差异;从蚯蚓CYP亚酶活力来看,在高剂量草甘膦（20、40 mg·kg^-1）处理下,CYP亚酶活力均受到显著抑制;基于代谢组学鉴定并筛选出14个小分子代谢物标记物,其中9个小分子代谢物（分别是1,6-二磷酸果糖、β-D-果糖6-磷酸、丙酮酸、组氨酸、赖氨酸、鸟氨酸、延胡索酸、肌酸、甜菜碱）在5~40 mg·kg^-1草甘膦暴露下显著低于对照水平,另外2个小分子代谢物（尿酸与二十-羟-二十烷四烯酸）则在草甘膦处理下显著升高.代谢组学的响应表明,草甘膦暴露（5~40 mg·kg^-1）致使蚯蚓糖酵解与三羧酸循环减弱,氨基酸代谢受损,嘌呤代谢紊乱,细胞渗透功能受损,对蚯蚓产生了明显毒副作用,其毒副作用还与细胞色素P450酶代谢相关.蚯蚓CYP亚酶活力与小分子代谢物标记物作为敏感生物标记物,可联合诊断土壤亚致死剂量草甘膦污染.
