我国东部沿海地区蔬菜中重金属累积分布特征及居民膳食暴露评估

采用电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(ICP-MS)分析了我国东部北方和南方沿海地区市售叶类、根茎类、瓜果类、豆类及食用菌5类蔬菜样品中6种有害金属元素(Cr、Ni、As、Cd、Hg和Pb)及5种人体必需金属元素(Mn、Fe、Cu、Zn和Se)的累积水平,并研究了其在不同蔬菜样品中的分布特征.结果表明,所有蔬菜样品中的6种有害金属水平均远低于国家食品安全标准规定的最高限量,居民食用这些蔬菜不存在明显的非致癌风险,但因食用蔬菜导致的无机砷暴露有10^-5水平的潜在致癌风险.蔬菜对有害金属和必需金属的累积呈现出明显的同步趋势(P <0.01).相比其他蔬菜,食用菌表现出对有害金属及必需金属更高的累积水平,提醒人们需加强对食用菌中重金属污染的监测工作.     

Determination of cadmium in the surface waters of Northern Greece

Northern Greece is a part of the country with great agricultural and industrial activity and the estimation of the pollution of its rivers and lakes is very important. The objective of this study is the determination of cadmium (Cd) in the surface waters of Northern Greece. The sampling period lasted 18 months, and samples were collected every 3 months. Sampling sites included 4 rivers (Axios, Strimonas, Nestos, Evros) and 5 lakes (Vegoritida, Volvi, Vistonida, Mikri Prespa, Megali Prespa). Cd was determined with Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GFAAS).

The results obtained show that the levels of Cd concentrations are lower than the qualitative target levels of EEC.     

Using Parasitic Trematode Larvae to Quantify an Elusive Vertebrate Host

Abstract: Digenean trematode parasites require multiple host species to complete their life cycles, and their abundance can often be strongly correlated with the abundance of their host species. Species richness and abundance of parasites in easily sampled host species may yield an accurate estimate of the species richness and abundance of other hosts in a parasite's life cycle that are difficult to survey directly. Accordingly, we investigated whether prevalence and mean abundance of trematodes could be used to estimate the abundance of one of their host species, diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin), which are difficult to sample and are designated as near threatened (by the International Union for Conservation of Nature [IUCN Red List]) along some U.S. coasts. As an adult the trematode Pleurogonius malaclemys is specific to terrapins. Its larval stages live first inside mud snails (Ilyanassa obsoleta) and are subsequently shed into the environment where they form external metacercarial cysts on hard surfaces such as snail opercula. The life cycle of P. malaclemys is completed when terrapins ingest these cysts. At 12 sites along the coast of Georgia (U.S.A.), we determined the prevalence of internal P. malaclemys larvae in mud snails (proportion of infected snails in a population) and the prevalence and mean abundance of external trematode cysts. We examined whether these data were correlated with terrapin abundance, which we estimated with mark‐recapture methods. The abundance of external cysts and salinity explained ≥59% of the variability in terrapin abundance. We suggest that dependent linkages between the life stages of multihost parasites make them reliable predictors of host species’ abundance, including hosts with abundances that are challenging to quantify directly.     

Pinning down vulnerability: from narratives to numbers

Social vulnerability analyses have typically relied upon narratives to capture the nuances of the concept. While narratives have enhanced our understanding of the multiple drivers of vulnerability, they have had limited influence on hazards and climate adaptation policy. This is partially a function of the different needs and goals of the policy and research communities. The former prioritises generalised quantitative information, while the latter is more concerned with capturing complexity. A theoretically driven and empirically tested quantitative vulnerability and capacities index (VCI) for use at the local scale is presented to help connect vulnerability research and policy. There are four versions of the index for use in rural and urban contexts at the household and community levels. There can be an infinite number of drivers of vulnerability, but the VCI draws upon 12 indicators to represent material, institutional and attitudinal aspects of differential vulnerability and capacities.     

Community resilience and urban planning in tsunami-prone settlements in Chile

Urban planning can serve to minimise the effects of a tsunami and enhance community resilience. This study explores to what extent urban planning has addressed tsunami resilience in four villages on Chile's South Pacific coast, each of which was struck by tsunamis in 1960, 2010, and 2015. Through a detailed policy review and semi-structured interviews with residents, this paper analyses whether tsunami mitigation policies were incorporated into regional and local planning tools. It finds that although the government proposed relocation to tsunami-safe areas after the tsunami of 1960, urban development continued mainly in tsunami inundation zones—in the context of weak local planning frameworks and in the absence of community participation. In only one of the four case studies did participatory planning bring about the relocation of an entire village to a safe location. This paper concludes that incorporating participatory risk zone planning into urban planning enhances tsunami resilience.     

EFFECTS OF INTERANNUAL VARIATION OF PRECIPITATION ON STREAM DISCHARGE FROM RHODE RIVER SUBWATERSHEDS1

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between precipitation at the seasonal and annual scale and water discharge per surface area for seven contiguous first - and second-order tributaries of the Rhode River, a small tidal tributary to Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, USA. The goal was to quantify the effects of a wide range of precipitation, representative of inter-annual variations in weather in this region. The discharges measured included both overland storm flows and groundwater, since the aquifers were perched on a clay aquiclude. Precipitation varied from 824 to 1684 mm/yr and area-weighted Rhode River watershed discharge varied from 130 to 669 mm/yr with an average of 332 mm/yr or 29.1 percent of average precipitation. Average annual dis. charges from three first-order watersheds were significantly lower per surface area and varied from 16.0 to 21.9 percent of precipitation. Winter season precipitation varied from 125 to 541 mm. Area-weighted Rhode River winter discharge varied from 26.3 to 230 mm with an average of 115 mm or 43.9 percent of average precipitation. Spring season precipitation varied from 124 to 510 mm and watershed discharge varied from 40.0 to 321 mm with an average of 138 mm or 46.9 percent of average precipitation. In the summer and fall seasons, watershed discharge averaged 40.6 and 40.9 mm or 13.5 and 14.3 percent of average precipitation, respectively. Except in winter, the proportion of precipitation discharged in the streams increased rapidly with increasing volume of precipitation. Stream order showed a higher correlation with volume of discharge than vegetative cover on the watershed.

Solid partitioning and solid-liquid distribution of Po and Pb in marine anoxic sediments: roads of Cherbourg at the northwestern France

A sequential extraction protocol has been used to determine the solid-phase partition of ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb in anoxic marine sediment from the roads of Cherbourg (France) in the central English Channel. Measurements were also obtained in pore waters, in which ²¹⁰Po activities range between 1 and 20 mBq L⁻¹ and ²¹⁰Pb activities between 2.4 and 3.8 mBq L⁻¹, with highest activities in the topmost layer. These activities are higher than in seawater, suggesting that sediment act as a source of both ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb for overlying water. The ²¹⁰Po profile in the pore waters is apparently correlated with those obtained for Fe, Mn and SO₄²⁻, suggesting an influence of early diagenetic processes on the ²¹⁰Po solid-liquid distribution. In the sediment, ²¹⁰Po is predominantly bound to organic matter or chromium reducible sulphides, and residuals (clay minerals and refractory oxides). Our results indicate that ²¹⁰Po is not significantly bound to AVS, i.e. acid volatile sulphides: bioturbation could play a role by the early redistribution of ²¹⁰Po bound to acid volatile sulphides in the sediment. ²¹⁰Po, ²¹⁰Pb and Pb exhibit differences in terms of distribution, probably due to a different mode of penetration in the sediment. This work provides information on solid and liquid distribution of ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb in marine sediment. These data are very scarce in the litterature.
