Advances on Toxicological Mechanism of AhR Pathway and Early Biomonitoring of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)in Aquatic Animals

过去30年,随着工农业的不断发展,由持久性有机污染物(POPs)导致的癌症患者不断增加.目前POPs已广泛存在于水生态系统中,对水生动物的生长发育、种群繁衍、群落结构等产生重要影响.虽然POPs对水生动物的毒理机制非常复杂,但研究表明其毒理机制主要通过芳香烃受体通道(Ah Rpathway)来进行调控.为全面理解水生动物AhR通道中每一个基因在毒理调控过程中的作用,论文从水生动物芳香烃通道的角度详细阐述了POPs的毒理机制,同时对水生动物中POPs的早期监测进行了讨论,最后提出了未来POPs毒理机制研究的发展方向.     

应用紫外及荧光光谱法研究三种醛类污染物对牛腺DNA的损伤作用

应用紫外光谱移动法和溴乙锭荧光法对三种醛类化合物与牛腺ＤＮＡ的加合以及它们引起的ＤＮＡ－ＤＮＡ交联进行了检测。结果表明,甲醛和乙醛能够与ＤＮＡ形成共价加合物,与四种脱氧核苷加合顺序分别为ｄＧ〉ｄＣ〉ｄＡ〉ｄＴ和ｄＡ〉ｄＧ〉ｄＣ〉ｄＴ,丙烯醛与ＤＮＡ的加合不能用紫外光谱移动法测定。甲醛能够显著地引起ＤＮＡ－ＤＮＡ的交联;乙醛也有这种作用,但不显著;丙烯醛的交联作用未测出,可能是由于羰基碳正电性较弱,     

Some aspects of boundary layer evolution in Mexico City

Measurements of chemical species and meteorological parameters were made at a site located 440 m above the mean basin level of Mexico City, over a two-week period in November during Project Azteca. Data from three of the stations of Mexico City's air quality monitoring network (Red Automática de Monitoreo Ambiental, RAMA) were also used to estimate the dilution in concentration experienced by pollutants as they are transported upslope during the course of the day. Both carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide show a dilution of up to 50%, while ozone is usually more concentrated at the elevated site. These comparisons clearly highlight the intrinsic differences between primary and secondary gases, which are supported also by time–space, cross correlation analysis. The thermal mesoscale wind circulation dominates concentrations of pollutants at the research site: upslope during the day and downslope during the night. The data present clear evidence that downslope flows during the night contribute to ozone concentration at basin sites.

Elimination of persistent organic pollutants from fish oil with solid adsorbents

Fish oils are one of the main sources of ω-3 fatty acids in animal and human diet. However, they can contain high concentrations of persistent organic pollutants due to their lipophilic properties. The aim of this study is the reduction of persistent organic pollutants in fish oil using silicon-based and carbon-based solid adsorbents. A wide screening study with different commercially available adsorbents was carried out, in order to determine their capacity of pollutant removal from fish oil. Moreover, adsorption conditions were evaluated and optimized with using an experimental design and adjustment of the experimental results to response surfaces, obtaining removals rates of more than 99% of PCDD/Fs, 81% of dioxin-like PCBs, 70% of HCB, 41% of DDTs, 16% of marker PCBs and 10% of PBDEs. Finally, fish oil fatty acids were analyzed before and after the treatment with solid adsorbents, confirming that it did not affect its nutritive properties.     

Vertical fluxes of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon fluxes were measured in time series sediment trap samples at 200 m and at 1000 m depths in the open Northwestern Mediterranean Sea, from December 2000 to July 2002. Averaged fluxes of n-alkanes, UCM and T-PAH₃₅ were 2.96 ± 2.60 μg m⁻² d⁻¹, 64 ± 60 μg m⁻² d⁻¹ and 0.68 ± 0.59 μg m⁻² d⁻¹, respectively. Molecular compositions of both hydrocarbon classes showed a contamination in petrogenic hydrocarbons well above the background levels of such an open site, whereas pyrolytic hydrocarbons stand in the range of other open Mediterranean locations. Fluxes displayed ample interannual and seasonal variabilities, mainly related to mass flux variation while concentration evolutions trigger secondary changes in pollutant fluxes. High lithogenic flux events exported particles with a larger pollutant load than biogenic particles formed during the spring bloom and during the summer. Sinking hydrocarbons were efficiently transported from 200 m to 1000 m.     

贵州喀斯特地貌区聚落的垂直分异探讨

喀斯特自然环境的垂直性导致了喀斯特地区的聚落存在垂直空间分布的现象.掌握喀斯特地貌区聚落的垂直分异规律对区域城镇规划和社会主义新农村建设有重要意义.本研究以喀斯特面积分布最广的贵州省为研究区域,选取三个具代表性的典型地貌类型区,运用GIS相关软件和分析方法,通过对等高线数据的空间转换和与居民点数据的叠置等技术得到各个研究区的居民点在不同高程、坡度和坡向上的分布情况,依此分析喀斯特高原盆地区、高原山地区、高原峡谷区聚落的垂直分布特点.研究结果表明,三种地貌类型区的聚落垂直分布有一定的特点和规律可循,且不同喀斯特地貌类型下的聚落有不同的垂直空间分布特点;喀斯特地区聚落垂直分异与区域喀斯特地貌密切相关,表现在地貌垂直空间差异越大,聚落垂直空间差异越大;并且,垂直性加剧了喀斯特聚落空间差异的复杂性.最后得出结论,垂直分异是喀斯特聚落空间分布的主要特点,喀斯特地貌是形成喀斯特地区聚落垂直分异规律的前提条件.     

Effects of environmental exposure and diet on levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in eggs of a top predator in the North Atlantic in 1980 and 2008

Concentrations of POPs in Great skua eggs from Shetland are among the highest in North Atlantic seabirds, with up to 11,600 μg/kg (ww) DDE and up to 17,900 μg/kg ww ∑PCB. Concentrations of legacy POPs were significantly lower in 2008 than 1980. Decreases were greatest for least persistent compounds. Median ∑PBDEs increased from 99 μg/kg ww in 1980 to 173 μg/kg ww in 2008. There were changes in Great skua breeding season diet, with more adult Herring and Mackerel and less Sandeel. These changes increase exposure to POPs, since Herring and Mackerel accumulate more POPs than Sandeels. In both years, eggs with higher δ¹⁵N had higher POP concentrations. In 1980, birds feeding more on demersal discard fish from trawl fisheries and less on Sandeels, had higher POP levels in eggs. In 2008, individuals feeding more on Herring and Mackerel, and less on discards, had higher POP levels in eggs.
