镇江东部地区土壤中多环芳烃的污染特征及来源解析

分析了镇江东部扬中地区土壤中16种优先控制的多环芳烃（PAHs）污染物的含量特征及污染水平。结果表明,该地区土壤的多环芳烃总量为2．4～49．9μg／Kg,其中荧蒽的含量最高,同我国其他地区相比,其污染水平比较低。5个采样点PAHs含量表明有两个点受工业企业影响,其他3个点具有类似的面源污染即地质成因来源。     

江苏天目湖表层沉积物中多环芳烃污染特征与来源

区别于长江三角洲地区众多的大型天然浅水湖泊,江苏天目湖是一个较深的水库型湖泊,也是重要的城乡生活及工农业水源地之一。为了解天目湖表层沉积物中多环芳烃（PAHs）污染状况, 2006年在天目湖全湖采集7个点位的表层沉积物样品,利用GC/MS分析了16种优控PAHs。结果表明：天目湖表层沉积物中16种优控PAHs总量介于28750~71393 ng/g（干重）,平均值为45852 ng/g;在空间分布上,北部受污染程度高于南部,主要是北部旅游业快速发展导致污染物排放的影响;沉积物中总有机碳含量与PAHs总量呈显著相关;利用特征化合物指数对PAHs的来源进行判别,指示天目湖表层沉积物中PAHs的主要来源是木材、煤的不完全燃烧。与不同地区水体沉积物PAHs含量对比表明,天目湖PAHs污染处于一个低至中等程度。基于沉积物中多环芳烃的环境质量标准,仅有1个样点芴浓度超过风险效应低值,但远小于毒性风险效应中值,因此沉积物中多环芳烃的生态风险较小。然而天目湖表层沉积物中的PAHs的污染程度已超过南水北调东线所经过的南四湖,而且天目湖湖水较深,湖水交换周期比较长,其PAHs污染应引起重视,需制定切实措施保护江苏“最后一泓净水”。     

Potential use of DNA adducts to detect mutagenic compounds in soil

In this study, three different soils with contrasting features, spiked with 300 mg benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)/kg dry soil, were incubated at 20 °C and 60% water holding capacity for 540 days. At different time points, BaP and DNA were extracted and quantified, and DNA adducts were quantified by ³²P-postlabelling. After 540 days incubation, 69.3, 81.6 and 83.2% of initial BaP added remained in Cruden Bay, Boyndie and Insch soils, respectively. Meanwhile, a significantly different amount of DNA-BaP adducts were found in the three soils exposed to BaP over time. The work demonstrates the concept that DNA adducts can be detected on DNA extracted from soil. Results suggest the technique is not able to directly reflect bioavailability of BaP transformation products. However, this new method provides a potential way to detect mutagenic compounds in contaminated soil and to assess the outcomes of soil remediation.     

A comparative study on the uptake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by Anodonta californiensis

Uptake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by the freshwater bivalve mollusc Anodonta californiensis was examined in the presence and absence of surfactant in order to gain further insight into mixture toxicity and to predict whether certain mixtures have negative and/or positive effects on aquatic organisms. In the presence of surfactant, the uptake of anthracene or chrysene was higher than that of naphthalene, given the same concentration in the solution. In the absence of surfactant, the trend was similar, but the uptakes were increased by approximately 100% compared to those in the presence of surfactant. On the uptake of naphthalene, the presence of anthracene showed only minor influence. The uptake of anthracene was affected by both naphthalene and chrysene. The uptake of chrysene was influenced by neither naphthalene nor anthracene. There was no observable displacement of divalent cations from the surface of the gill membrane by any of the PAHs studied.     

Enhanced degradation of bioremediation residues in petroleum-contaminated soil using a two-liquid-phase bioslurry reactor

A study was performed to determine the potential of two-liquid-phase (TLP) bioslurry reactors using silicon oil as solvent for degradation of residual contaminants in petroleum-contaminated soil. The residues were characterized by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. This allowed for the identification of a mixture of residual biomarkers, metabolic byproducts, oxygenated and hetero-polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in the contaminated soil. The removal amount of total extractable organics (TEO) was 15 900 mg kg⁻¹ soil in the TLP reactor within 12 weeks. However, TEO remained intact in the bioslurry reactor without the addition of silicon oil for the duration of the experiment, due to high toxicity of metabolites to the microorganisms. The availability of TEO was calculated using a mild extraction with Triton X-100, and the amount of TEO extracted was in accord with the amount of biodegraded TEO. Significantly reduced toxicity in soil was observed at week 12 through TLP remediation. Dehydrogenase activity in the bioslurry reactor was strongly suppressed. Fluorescein diacetate was significantly hydrolyzed by the composition of bioremediation residues in the contaminated soil. Microbial adhesion to the solvent was revealed by the determination of microbial activity in the water-immiscible-liquid.     

Comparison of atmosphere/aquatic environment concentration ratio of volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons between temperate regions and Antarctica

For the purpose of understanding the transport and deposition mechanisms and the air–water distribution of some volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons (VCHCs), their atmosphere/aquatic environment concentration ratio was evaluated. In addition, for the purpose of differentiating VCHC behaviour in a temperate climate from its behaviour in a polar climate, the atmosphere/aquatic environment concentration ratio evaluated in matrices from temperate zones was compared with the concentration ratio evaluated in Antarctic matrices.In order to perform air samplings also at rigid Antarctic temperatures, the sampling apparatus, consisting of a diaphragm pump and canisters, was suitably modified.Chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, tetrachloromethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene were measured in air, water and snow using specific techniques composed of a purpose-made cryofocusing-trap-injector (for air samples) and a modified purge-and-trap injector (for aqueous samples) coupled to a gas chromatograph with mass spectrometric detection operating in selected ion monitoring mode. The VCHCs were retrieved in all the investigated matrices, both Italian and Antarctic, with concentrations varying from tens to thousands of ng m⁻³ in air and from digits to hundreds of ng kg⁻¹ in water and snow.The atmosphere/aquatic environment concentration ratios were always found to be lower than 1. In particular, the Italian air/water concentration ratios were smaller than the Antarctic ones, by reason of the higher atmospheric photochemical activity in temperate zones. On the other hand, the Antarctic air/snow concentration ratios proved to be largely in favour of snow with respect to the Italian ratios, thus corroborating the hypothesis of a more efficient VCHC deposition mechanism and accumulation on Antarctic snow.     

Modelling the risk of Pb and PAH intervention value exceedance in allotment soils by robust logistic regression

Soils of allotments are often contaminated by heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants. In particular, lead (Pb) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) frequently exceed legal intervention values (IVs). Allotments are popular in European countries; cities may own and let several thousand allotment plots. Assessing soil contamination for all the plots would be very costly. Soil contamination in allotments is often linked to gardening practice and historic land use. Hence, we predict the risk of IV exceedance from attributes that characterize the history and management of allotment areas (age, nearby presence of pollutant sources, prior land use). Robust logistic regression analyses of data of Swiss allotments demonstrate that the risk of IV exceedance can be predicted quite precisely without costly soil analyses. Thus, the new method allows screening many allotments at small costs, and it helps to deploy the resources available for soil contamination surveying more efficiently.     

新型菌株法检测典型环境雌激素类物质

相对于化学检测方法,生物法检测环境雌激素类污染物具有简便快捷等优点。利用本实验室已建立的环境雌激素类污染物的基因工程菌检测技术,对17-β-雌二醇(17-β-(o)estradiol)的雌激素活性进行了检测,绘制了标准曲线,确定其检测限为ng/L。并且利用该菌株法分别对艹屈(chrysene)、芘(pyrene)和苯并(a)蒽(benz(a)anthracene)3种不同结构的多环芳烃的雌激素活性进行了检测。结果显示,3种物质的雌激素活性差异明显,具有不同的检测限。此外,对污水和污泥样品中的麝香含量进行了检测,结果显示其活性变化趋势与化学法检测结果基本一致。因此,利用该基因工程菌检测技术可对环境样品中一定的雌激素活性进行快速有效地筛选;进一步对比17-β-雌二醇的标准曲线,可实现对雌激素类物质的初步定量。
