Relationship of urinary arsenic metabolites to intake estimates in residents of the Red River Delta, Vietnam

This study investigated the status of arsenic (As) exposure from groundwater and rice, and its methylation capacity in residents from the Red River Delta, Vietnam. Arsenic levels in groundwater ranged from <1.8 to 486 μg/L. Remarkably, 86% of groundwater samples exceeded WHO drinking water guideline of 10 μg/L. Also, estimated inorganic As intake from groundwater and rice were over Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake (15 μg/week/kg body wt.) by FAO/WHO for 92% of the residents examined. Inorganic As and its metabolite (monomethylarsonic acid and dimethylarsinic acid) concentrations in human urine were positively correlated with estimated inorganic As intake. These results suggest that residents in these areas are exposed to As through consumption of groundwater and rice, and potential health risk of As is of great concern for these people. Urinary concentration ratios of dimethylarsinic acid to monomethylarsonic acid in children were higher than those in adults, especially among men, indicating greater As methylation capacity in children.     

MAP结晶法回收和去除尿液中的磷

以分解后的尿液为研究对象,采用MgCl₂·6H₂Ｏ 溶液作为MAP结晶剂,对MAP结晶同步回收尿液中的磷和部分氮的影响因素Mg/PO^３－₄-P摩尔比、反应pH、反应时间、沉淀时间和搅拌速度等进行小试试验.结果表明,Mg/PO^３－₄-P摩尔比是重要的运行参数,当其摩尔比超过1.3∶1时,磷的回收率超过95%,上清液剩余PO^３－₄-P浓度小于10 mg/Ｌ,而提高反应pH不能明显增加磷的回收率.该工艺的最佳运行条件为反应时间20 min,沉淀时间2.0 h,搅拌速度120 r/min,不需要pH调节控制.选择Mg/PO^３－₄-P摩尔比分别为1∶1、1.3∶1和1.5∶1,对在最佳条件下反应获得的3种产物采用SEM、XRD和ICP分析表明,3种产物都为比较纯净的MAP产品,其主要元素P、N、Mg的含量接近于MAP的理论含量（P=12.62%, N = 5.71%, Mg= 9.91%）,分别为13.54%, 5.34%,9.01% (Mg/PO^３－₄-P =1∶1)、13.78%,5.23%,9.36% (Mg/PO^３－₄-P =1.3∶1)和13.34%,5.12%,9.15% (Mg/PO^３－₄-P=1.5∶1),具有较高的回收利用价值.     

Sustainable innovation in wastewater management: lessons for nutrient recovery and reuse

Urine diversion (UD) has great potential to contribute to sustainably managing wastewater by separating urine at the source and recovering nutrients for reuse in agriculture. While factors enabling the UD technology in Sweden are thought to involve policies supporting nutrient recovery/reuse, on closer inspection, the variable success of UD systems has revealed that critical factors for success also relate to human-centred issues of social organisation, participation and incorporation of social knowledges of a variety of stakeholders into the decision-making process in which new technologies are trialled and adopted. Through the analytical lens of strategic niche management, we consider how early experimentation in UD has involved user participation and whether internal processes of learning, networking and visioning have been consciously considered and to what effect. As niche experiments are enabled/disabled not only by informal institutions such as values and social norms but also formal regulatory institutions, we have concurrently analysed the broader environment in which policies and institutions influence, to varying degrees, the uptake of UD.     

尿中1-羟基芘的研究——人体接触多环芳烃的指标

对尿中1-羟基芘的分离和测定方法进行了研究和改进。10ml尿样经酶水解后,用反相高压液相色谱-荧光检测器分析,一小时左右即可得到定量结果,1-羟基芘的检出限为0.047ng。测定了对照组、交通警和焦炉工人尿中1-羟基芘的含量。讨论了人尿中1-羟基芘的量和接触多环芳烃的关系,认为尿中的1-羟基芘可做为人体接触空气中多环芳烃的一个指标。     

Assessment of oxidative stress due to exposure to pesticides in plasma and urine of traditional limited-resource farm workers: Formation of the DNA-adduct 8-hydroxy-2-deoxy-guanosine (8-OHdG)

The objective of this study was to assess the risk of genotoxicity caused due to oxidative stress using plasma and urinary levels of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in farm workers for six months during a growing season. Blood and urine samples were collected once a month for six months (June to November 2003) from farm workers (n = 15) and urban unexposed controls (n = 10). Plasma and urinary levels of 8-OHdG were evaluated by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique. There was no significant difference in the urinary levels of 8-OHdG between the farm workers and the control group, but there was an approximately four-fold increase in mean values of plasma 8-OHdG levels in the farm worker group (P ≤ 0.05).     

储存控制条件对尿液氮磷的影响

尿液源分离技术是现阶段国际研究热点,但其收集贮存过程中的尿素水解与磷沉淀问题影响该技术的推广应用。为了考察新鲜尿液的储存变化,对稀释、酸化和稀释酸化等储存控制条件对尿液尿素水解过程中pH、氨氮和磷酸盐的影响进行了研究。结果表明：稀释储存时,尿素会发生水解,pH值升高至9.19~9.25,氨氮量会升高,磷酸盐会减少20%~36%,而稀释因子1增加到6,沉淀减少了450~650 mg。初始酸化储存时,在初始pH小于4.00条件下,尿素水解会受到控制,磷沉淀损失会减少。稀释酸化储存时,在pH小于3.00及稀释因子2或3的条件下,尿素水解会受抑制且不发生磷沉淀。
