Diazinon Fate and Toxicity in the Tajan River (Iran) Ecosystem

Abstract This study surveyed the behavior of diazinon pesticide in the water column of the Tajan River and its potential effects on river biota. The Tajan River is located on the southern basin of the Caspian Sea in Iran and diazinon enters the river from rice fields almost every year between the months of June and October. The sampling plan of flowing water was plotted in a 3-week period on five sites along the river and also at the end of tributaries. Samples were collected seven times during a 6-month period; they were analyzed for diazinon residues and some physicochemical characteristics. Total diazinon concentration range was between 0.01 and 46.99?μg/L in sampling stations. The calibrated AQUATOX model was applied to simulate fate processes and ecotoxicity of diazinon in the Tajan River. The model demonstrated that the diazinon residues in the Tajan River reacted to three major degradation processes (microbial, hydrolysis, and photolysis) and sedimentation; however, the river discharge played the m...     

新烟碱类农药呋虫胺对映体选择性研究进展

农业生产中,呋虫胺以外消旋体的形式销售和使用,在进入生态环境后出现对映体选择性降解、吸收、代谢、排泄等.不区分对映体间差异的传统风险评估给呋虫胺的合理使用与生态安全带来了诸多隐患.研究指出S-呋虫胺既是高毒体也是高活体,其生态毒性为R-呋虫胺的13.9~145.9倍,但R-呋虫胺也表现出较高的杀虫活性,且作物中优先降解,开发高比例的R体农药有利于维持杀虫活性的同时降低对非靶生物和生态环境的负效应.本文旨在综述呋虫胺对映体选择性生物活性、生态毒性及环境行为研究进展,为其科学难题的解决提供新思路,也为其科学有效管理提供理论依据.

环丙沙星在模拟水生态系统中的动态研究

利用高效液相色谱法对环丙沙星(CPFX)在微宇宙模拟水生态系统中的归趋,包括CPFX在水体、沉积物、生物体[皇冠草(Echinodorus amazonicus)、河蚬(Corbicula fluminea)、异育银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio)]等不同分配相及生物体不同组织中的动态变化过程进行了研究.结果表明:在模拟水生态系统中加入500.00 μg·L-1 CPFX后,药物部分被水生生物所吸收,部分沉降进入底泥中.在各相中的CPFX残留量随时间不断变化,1 d内水体中药物含量降至15.30 μg·L-1,而底泥中药物含量升至385.57 μg·kg-1.CPFX不同程度地富集和残留于水生生物体中,皇冠草对CPFX的吸收量大,尤其是叶片部分1 d内含量高达795.43 μg·kg-1,随后逐步降低;河蚬、异育银鲫对CPFX有明显的吸收积累,并且在体内的残留时间可长达45 d,不同组织对CPFX的吸收积累存在明显差异,在内脏中的积累量比肌肉组织高.不同生物体中CPFX的分布和富集存在着较大差异,其趋势为皇冠草＞河蚬＞异育银鲫.     

区域持久性有机物的健康风险评价方法研究

随着城市和工业的发展,工业点源和机动车排放了大量有毒污染物,加剧了城市居民的健康风险.在传统的健康风险评价的基础上,提出了区域持久性有机物的健康风险评价思想,并对研究方法进行了初步探讨.在GIS的环境中,集成了ISCST3(复杂工业源扩散模型)和传统风险评价中的多种风险源累积的风险评价模型,建立起以GIS为基础的RHRA(区域健康风险评价方法).以上海市杨浦区为例,根据当地的气象条件和区域污染源的分布情况,对由该区域固定源和移动源排放的有毒污染物引起的区域人类致癌风险和非致癌风险进行了研究.结果表明:杨浦区的致癌风险值为500～1.0×104,非致癌风险指数为1.32～85.70.模拟得到有毒污染物产生的健康风险等值线图显示,区域中健康风险的大小与道路机动车流量和工业点源的分布高度相关.

Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 and upcoming challenges for exposure assessment of plant protection products--Harmonisation or national modelling approaches?

In the new European Pesticide Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009, the harmonisation of approaches for estimation of the environmental exposure of pesticides is considered a major goal. Several member states currently require their own models for the calculation of predicted environmental concentrations (PEC) in surface water. The variety of methods makes risk evaluations rather time-consuming for both notifiers and evaluating authorities. In the present study we compare surface water concentrations of 19 compounds using EU and country-specific models and risk assessment approaches to evaluate to which extent the resulting estimated exposure concentrations differ. Our results show that EU and country specific approaches and the resulting surface water concentrations differ considerably regarding basic model assumptions and assessment methods. The results indicate that the aimed harmonisation of risk assessment approaches within the EU will be difficult based on current models. New scenarios may help to achieve a harmonisation taking country-specific features into account.

预测沉积物-水微宇宙系统中化学品浓度变化的多介质模型

沉积物-水微宇宙系统是经济合作发展组织(Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development,OECD)颁布的化学品测试准则中推荐的试验系统之一,可用来测试化学品对底栖生物的慢性毒性。为了在试验前对化学品的浓度变化进行预测,进而确定试验方法,以摇蚊慢性毒性试验系统为例,采用环境多介质模型的建模方法,构建了一种可通过化学品理化性质和试验系统参数,对化学品在沉积物-水试验系统中浓度变化进行预测的模型。结合试验数据和文献资料,给出了模型中试验系统参数的推荐取值,并使用Matlab软件中的Simulink工具对模型进行编程和求解。以此模型为基础,给出了模型在3个方面的应用,即预测蓄积时间、预测平衡时间以及拟合试验数据。对80种已有或假想化学品的蓄积时间和平衡时间进行了计算,得出的范围分别为1~204 d和1~73 d。此外,适当修改模型结构和模型参数,也可将其应用于其他暴露场景中。但使用模型对化学品浓度进行预测时发现,模型仅对沉积物中化学品浓度的预测结果较为准确,而对水中化学品浓度的预测结果与实测值相差1~2个数量级。模型对浓度的预测精度未来仍需进一步提高。上述研究结果完善了沉积物-水微宇宙系统试验方法。     

Atmospheric fate of non-volatile and ionizable compounds

A modified version of the Multimedia Activity Model for Ionics MAMI, including two-layered atmosphere, air-water interface partitioning, intermittent rainfall and variable cloud coverage was developed to simulate the atmospheric fate of ten low volatility or ionizable organic chemicals. Probabilistic simulations describing the uncertainty of substance and environmental input properties were run to evaluate the impact of atmospheric parameters, ionization and air-water (or air-ice) interface enrichment.The rate of degradation and the concentration of OH radicals, the duration of dry and wet periods, and the parameters describing air-water partitioning (K_AW and temperature) and ionization (pK_a and pH) are the key parameters determining the potential for long range transport. Wet deposition is an important removal process, but its efficiency is limited, primarily by the duration of the dry period between precipitation events.Given the underlying model assumptions, the presence of clouds contributes to the higher persistence in the troposphere because of the capacity of cloud water to accumulate and transport non-volatile (e.g. 2,4-D) and surface-active chemicals (e.g. PFOA). This limits the efficiency of wet deposition from the troposphere enhancing long-range transport.
