邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯(DEHP)污染及其毒性研究进展

邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯(DEHP)作为重要的增塑剂被广泛应用于涂料、食品包装、医疗器材、儿童玩具等产品中。研究表明DEHP在水、土壤、空气等各个环境要素以及食物、饮用水中已被普遍检出,并对环境产生潜在的危害。本文通过分析国内外DEHP的环境暴露和毒性效应的研究成果,总结了DEHP在室外大气、室内空气、土壤、地表水、地下水、食品和饮用水中的污染现状,并对DEHP的替代产品进行总结;此外,本文深入探讨了DEHP对水生生物和陆生生物的生态毒性效应,以及对生殖发育、肝脏、呼吸系统和神经系统等的健康毒性效应。最后,结合DEHP在环境暴露调查和毒性效应研究方面的不足,指出需要进一步加强我国DEHP的环境暴露调查,制定相关环境基准值与标准限值,开展慢性生态毒性效应和人体健康毒性效应等方面的研究。     

纳米零价铁在环境中的毒性研究进展

纳米零价铁(nZVI)作为一种高效的环境修复材料,被广泛应用在土壤和地下水的修复等环境领域。但研究发现,大量进入环境中的nZVI可能会对生物体和生态系统产生严重危害,如和nZVI接触后,会造成小鼠器官受到损伤,杨树幼苗生长减缓,大肠杆菌等微生物的细胞膜破裂等不利作用出现。此外,nZVI还会改变环境中的氧化还原电位和溶解氧等指标,而且毒性效应容易受到外界条件的干扰。虽然目前对nZVI的致毒机制还不完全明确,但学者们提出了多种可能的假设,主流的观点是铁离子的释放、氧化损伤和基因损伤等。本文综述了国内外对nZVI毒性的最新研究成果,以期为nZVI的使用和毒性研究提供参考。     

Statistical uncertainty in hazardous terrestrial concentrations estimated with aquatic ecotoxicity data

Since chemicals’ ecotoxic effects depend for most soil species on the dissolved concentration in pore water, the equilibrium partitioning (EP) method is generally used to estimate hazardous concentrations (HC50) in the soil from aquatic toxicity tests. The present study analyzes the statistical uncertainty in terrestrial HC50s derived by the EP-method. For 47 organic chemicals, we compared freshwater HC50s derived from standard aquatic ecotoxicity tests with porewater HC50s derived from terrestrial ecotoxicity tests. Statistical uncertainty in the HC50s due to limited species sample size and in organic carbon–water partitioning coefficients due to predictive error was treated with probability distributions propagated by Monte Carlo simulations. Particularly for specifically acting chemicals, it is very important to base the HC50 on a representative sample of species, composed of both target and non-target species. For most chemical groups, porewater HC50 values were approximately a factor of 3 higher than freshwater HC50 values. The ratio of the porewater HC50/freshwater HC50 was typically 3.0 for narcotic chemicals (2.8 for nonpolar and 3.4 for polar narcotics), 0.8 for reactive chemicals, 2.9 for neurotoxic chemicals (4.3 for AChE agents and 0.1 for the cyclodiene type), and 2.5 for herbicides–fungicides. However, the statistical uncertainty associated with this ratio was large (typically 2.3 orders of magnitude). For 81% of the organic chemicals studied, there was no statistical difference between the hazardous concentration of aquatic and terrestrial species. We conclude that possible systematic deviations between the HC50s of aquatic and terrestrial species appear to be less prominent than the overall statistical uncertainty.     

Comparison of solid-phase and eluate assays to gauge the ecotoxicological risk of organic wastes on soil organisms

Development of methodologies to assess the safety of reusing polluted organic wastes in soil is a priority in Europe. In this study, and coupled with chemical analysis, seven organic wastes were subjected to different aquatic and soil bioassays. Tests were carried out with solid-phase waste and three different waste eluates (water, methanol, and dichloromethane).Solid-phase assays were indicated as the most suitable for waste testing not only in terms of relevance for real situations, but also because toxicity in eluates was generally not representative of the chronic effects in solid-phase.No general correlations were found between toxicity and waste pollutant burden, neither in solid-phase nor in eluate assays, showing the inability of chemical methods to predict the ecotoxicological risks of wastes. On the contrary, several physicochemical parameters reflecting the degree of low organic matter stability in wastes were the main contributors to the acute toxicity seen in collembolans and daphnids.     

Use of fungal technology in soil remediation: A Case Study

Two white rot fungi Irpex lacteus and Pleurotus ostreatus and a PAH-degrading bacterial strain of Pseudomonas putida were used as inoculum for bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil from a manufactured-gas-plant-area. Also two cocultures comprising a fungus with Pseudomonas putida were applied. After 10-week treatment out of 12 different PAHs, concentration of phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene and pyrene decreased up to 66%. The ecotoxicity of the soil after bioremediation did not reveal any effect on the survival of Daphnia magna, a crustacian. However, the toxic effect on seed germination of plant Brassica alba and oxidoreductase activity of bacterium Bacillus cereus decreased after 5 and 10 weeks of treatment.     

土壤镉污染毒性效应的多指标综合评价

以草甸棕壤为供试土壤,以蚕豆幼苗根尖有丝分裂指数、染色体畸变率以及微核率,幼苗叶片内抗氧化酶活性、植物内源激素含量为指标,采用盆栽方法研究了0～10 mg·kg^-1镉胁迫对植物细胞的遗传和生态毒性效应.结果表明,在此浓度范围内,蚕豆根尖细胞有丝分裂指数、染色体畸变率以及微核率均随镉浓度增加呈显著的剂量-效应正相关关系,其中微核率变化最为明显,处理组微核率分别为对照组的1.43～3.22倍;蚕豆幼苗叶片内的SOD和POD活性变化呈先升高后下降的趋势;而CAT活性随镉浓度增加其变化规律与SOD、POD相反.此外,镉胁迫下植物激素脱落酸(ABA)、赤霉素(GA₃)与细胞分裂素类的玉米素和玉米素核苷总含量(Z&ZR)均表现出低浓度下诱导和较高浓度下诱导率降低的趋势,在镉浓度为2.5 mg·kg^-1时３种植物激素含量均达到最高值,分别比对照组增加了6.6%、 4.0%和12.6%.研究表明,各指标对污染物的毒性具有响应且响应的域值及其敏感度不同,将各指标综合使用可使土壤镉污染的遗传和生态毒性诊断更为有效.

华北地区农田潜在生态毒性评估与农业可持续发展——以山东桓台县冬小麦-夏玉米轮作系统为例

使用USES-LCA模型,对连续10多年过量使用化肥和农药的华北高产粮区农田系统进行了潜在生态毒性评估。结果表明,虽然潜在的人体毒性表现不明显,但1997和2007年小麦-玉米轮作的潜在水体毒性分别是225.15、261.08、308.24和303.45 kg1,4-DCBeq;土壤毒性分别是3.12、2.76、3.55和3.24 kg1,4-DCBeq,都呈正增长趋势,以潜在水体毒性表现最为明显。虽然农药对环境的实际威胁还需进一步证实,但严格禁止高毒农药的使用,规范农药的施用量和使用方式已经刻不容缓;与此同时,必须加强农业生态毒性评价体系和生态污染防控机制研究,这样才能促进农业的可持续发展。
