Criteria for the evaluation of dioxins in the environment

In FRG and other countries unequivocal criteria for the limitation of dioxins (PCDD's/PCDF's) in food like vegetables and fruits are lacking. These have to be directly associated with the limitation of dioxins in the soil and the deposition of particulate matter as the two main pathways for plant contamination. Based on recent investigations in the vicinity of cable-waste incinerators in Northrhine-Westphalia with comparatively high contents of dioxins in garden plants and soils and other sources of dioxins, considerations are given for the establishment of the criteria urgently needed.

Residues and dissipation kinetic of abamectin,chlorfenapyr and pyridaben acaricides in green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under field conditions using QuEChERS method and HPLC

Abstract

The current study estimated the dissipation rates of abamectin, chlorfenapyr and pyridaben acaricides in pods of green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under field conditions in Egypt. Pesticides were extracted and cleaned-up by QuEChERS method and were analyzed by HPLC. The dissipation of these acaricides followed the first order kinetics model with half-life (t_1/2) values 1.00, 3.50 and 1.50?days for abamectin, chlorfenapyr and pyridaben, respectively. The lowest residues, at different time intervals of field application rate of each pesticide, were observed with abamectin followed by pyridaben and then chlorfenapyr. Pre-harvest intervals (PHIs) were 10.00, 13.50 and 6.00?days for abamectin, chlorfenapyr and pyridaben, respectively and were below the established European maximum residue limits (EU MRLs) 10–14, 14–21 and 7–10?days after application, respectively. If the fresh pods will be consumed after harvest, it is expected that the presence of these pesticides in the food will have a negative impact on human health. Therefore, the elimination of the residues of these harmful pesticides must be carried out.     

Phytotoxicity and groundwater impacts of leaching from thermal treatment residues in roadways

The use of coal fly ash (CFA), municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (MSWIBA) and flue gas desulfurization residue (FGDR) in road construction has become very common owing to its economical advantages. However, these residues may contain toxic constituents that pose an environmental risk if they leach out and flow through the soil, surface water and groundwater. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the ecotoxicity and groundwater impact of these residues before decisions can be made regarding their utilization for road construction. In this study, the physico-chemical characteristics, leaching and phytotoxicity of these residues were investigated. Specifically, multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the contributions of the leaching constituents of the CFA, MSWIBA and FGDR leachates to the germination index of wheat seeds. B, Ba, Cr, Cu, Fe and Pb were found to be more toxic to the wheat seeds than the other heavy metals. Furthermore, the leached concentrations of the constituents from the CFA, MSWIBA and FGDR were below the regulatory threshold limits of the Chinese identification standard for hazardous wastes. Analyses conducted using a numerical groundwater model (WiscLEACH) indicated that the predicted field concentrations of metals from the CFA, MSWIBA and FGDR increased with time up to about 30 years at the point of compliance, then decreased with time and distance. Overall, this study demonstrated that the risks resulting from MSWIBA, CFA and FGDR leaching could be assessed before its utilization for road construction, providing crucial information for the adoption of these alternative materials.     

分段进水两级A/O工艺对白酒废水的强化处理效果

为有效控制白酒废水中高质量浓度NH₄+-N对A/O系统冲击引起的出水水质超标问题,分析比较单级A/O工艺和分段进水两级A/O工艺[进水时间（以min计）分配比为7:3]对白酒废水的处理效果.结果表明:与单级A/O工艺相比,分段进水两级A/O工艺出水中ρ（NH₄+-N）、ρ（NO₂--N）、ρ（NO₃--N）和ρ（COD_Cr）均显著降低,其平均去除率分别提高了16.9%、43.2%、49.7%和8%.分段进水两级A/O工艺的二次进水能够为短程硝化反硝化的进行提供有效碳源和NH₄+-N等,为NO₂--N和NO₃--N等去除提供了有利条件;同时,它通过促进对系统内碳源的利用以及NO₂--N的去除,进一步降低了出水中ρ（COD_Cr）.此外,分段进水两级A/O工艺通过降低NH₄+-N和NO₂--N等污染物质量浓度,也能有效减弱其对氨氧化菌和亚硝酸盐氧化菌等微生物的抑制作用,为后续好氧阶段含氮污染物的去除奠定基础.但是,分段进水两级A/O工艺对白酒废水中PO₄3-的去除效果有限,这主要是因为第二阶段的NO₂--N存在使反应系统处于缺氧环境,同时在碳源不充足的情况下,导致聚磷微生物释磷不充分,降低了第二好氧段的吸磷动力.研究显示,分段进水两级A/O工艺能够有效强化白酒废水中三态氮和COD_Cr的降解去除.      

三段A/O工艺处理发制品产业集聚区综合废水

利用三段A/O工艺作为发制品产业集聚区综合废水生物处理单元,探讨了不同进水流量分配比和污泥回流比下COD、TN、PO₄^3--P的去除性能和微生物群落特征.结果表明,在进水流量分配比60%：25%：15%、污泥回流比75%、缺氧区与好氧区容积比1：1、SRT 20d、HRT 16h条件下,三段A/O工艺处理综合废水后出水TN平均浓度14.85mg/L,COD浓度低于40m/L;此时PO₄^3--P去除率达到最大值,为56.21%.参与处理综合废水的主要门水平微生物Proteobacteria和Bacteroidetes的相对丰度是45.63%~60.13%和16.65%~30.55%.Denitratisoma、Thauera、uncultured-f-Saprospiraceae和Sulfuritalea等优势菌属相对丰度的增加,是三段A/O工艺TN去除率随第一分段进水流量分配比增大或污泥回流比降低而提高的本质体现.     

进料浓度对鸡粪长期高温甲烷发酵的影响

通过固定水力停留时间（HRT）为20d,逐步提高进料总固体（TS）浓度为5.0%,7.5%和10.0%的方式提高有机负荷（OLR）,在高温（55±1）℃条件下开展鸡粪长期甲烷发酵实验并测定了各阶段污泥的比产甲烷活性（SMA）,探究氨氮浓度对鸡粪高温甲烷发酵的影响.结果显示,当进料TS由5.0%增至10.0%,出料氨氮浓度由（2.5±0.3）g/L增至（6.1±0.2）g/L,挥发性脂肪酸（VFAs）由（0.4±0.1）g/L增至（26.1±1.5）g/L,pH值由（8.3±0.2）降至（6.9±0.1）,产气率由（267.2±12.5）mL/g TS_in降至49.8±8.2mL/g TS_in,甲烷浓度由（67.2±1.3）%降至（36.0±1.7）%.长时间采用TS 10.0%的进料浓度,发酵系统中氨氮浓度最高达到7.5g/L,VFAs浓度达到27.0g/L,产气下降明显.氨氮抑制鸡粪高温甲烷发酵产气的初始浓度为2.5~3.0g/L.进料TS大于7.5%,鸡粪高温甲烷发酵会受到氨氮抑制.氨氮浓度的升高导致高温发酵体系利用乙酸产甲烷的能力降低,氨氮浓度达到5.5g/L,SMA降低60.0%;氨氮浓度达到7.0g/L,污泥利用乙酸产甲烷的活动几乎停止.     

Fate and transport of the β-adrenergic agonist ractopamine hydrochloride in soil–water systems

The feed additive ractopamine hydrochloride was fortified at four concentrations into batch vials containing soils that differed in both biological activity and organic matter(OM).Sampling of the liquid layer for 14 days demonstrated that ractopamine rapidly dissipated from the liquid layer. Less than 20% of the fortified dose remained in the liquid layer after 4 hr,and recoveries of dosed ractopamine ranged from 8 to 18% in the liquid layer at 336 hr. Sorption to soil was the major fate for ractopamine in soil:water systems, i.e., 42%–51% of the dose at14 days. The major portion of the sorbed fraction was comprised of non-extractables; a smaller fraction of the sorbed dose was extracted into water and acetone, portions which would be potentially mobile in the environment. Partitioning coefficients for all soils suggested strong sorption of ractopamine to soil which is governed by hydrophobic interactions and cation exchange complexes within the soil OM. Ractopamine degradation was observed, but to mostly non-polar compounds which had a higher potential than ractopamine to sorb to soil. The formation of volatiles was also suggested. Therefore, despite rapid and extensive soil sorption,these studies indicated a portion of ractopamine, present in manures used to fertilize soils,may be mobile in the environment via water-borne events.
