Agronomic application of olive mill wastewaters with phosphate rock in a semi-arid Mediterranean soil modifies the soil properties and decreases the extractable soil phosphorus

Olive mill wastewater (OMW), a by-product of the olive-mill industry, is produced in large amounts in Mediterranean countries. The presence of indigenous phosphate deposits in some countries like Tunisia provides an incentive for direct application or local chemical treatment at low cost to improve the solubility of low reactive phosphate rocks (PRs). The use of naturally occurring low-molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) that are present in OMW represents a new perspective in PR research and a possible solution for the recycling of the OMW. The present work was aimed at evaluating, under natural situations (field of olive trees), the effects of agronomic application of OMW (amounts applied: 30, 60 m(3) ha(-1)) with PR (amounts applied: 150 kg ha(-1)) on olive trees soil properties. We measured organic C, nitrogen (N), extractable phosphorus (P), exchangeable calcium (Ca), and exchangeable potassium (K), as well as other properties (pH and electrical conductivity). Our data provide evidence that agronomic application of OMW with PR has important effects on soil properties. Increases in organic C, total N, extractable P and exchangeable potassium (K) were found after the first agronomic application of OMW and PR. These increases were only temporary, following the second agronomic application of OMW and PR, significant reductions were detected in the extractable soil P (19.67 mg kg(-1) in the control soil vs. 8.99 mg kg(-1) in the amended soil). Changes in the extractable soil P could alter plant productivity and plant community structure because shifts in nutriment availability can affect the balance between limiting and non-limiting nutrients.     

北沙河上游流域氮、磷污染风险空间分布特征解析

非点源污染是全球水环境污染治理面临的严峻挑战之一,氮（N）、磷（P）污染是非点源污染重要的组成部分,解析N、P污染风险空间分布特征是非点源污染治理的关键.本研究以北沙河上游流域为例,采用输出系数法综合估算区域不同土地利用类型、畜禽养殖和居民生活的N、P污染负荷,将其视为污染源因子指标以替代潜在非点源污染指数（Potential Non-point Pollution Indicator,PNPI）模型中的土地利用指标,利用改进后的PNPI模型解析该流域N、P污染风险空间分布特征.结果表明：(1)研究区N、P污染风险皆呈东南部居民区高、西北部山区低的空间分布特征;(2)P污染主要源自居民生活,N污染主要源自土地利用输出,各土地利用类型中耕地输出的N、P污染量最多;(3)N、P污染极低风险区面积占比最大,面积占比分别为59%和56%,极高风险区面积占比最小,分别为5%和3%.研究结果有望为北沙河上游流域非点源N、P污染防治提供依据,为流域综合治理提供参考.     

细胞色素P450酶代谢新烟碱类农药N-脱烷基反应的机制研究：以噻虫嗪为例

生物转化是影响有机污染物毒性的重要过程,细胞色素P450酶在其中起着关键作用.新烟碱类农药对于哺乳动物毒性较低,但是经过P450酶的转化后,可能会产生毒性增强的代谢产物,提高环境和健康风险.本研究以噻虫嗪（TMX）为例,采用计算模拟的方法研究P450酶催化下TMX的代谢路径和产物,探讨该类污染物N-脱烷基的反应机制.计算结果表明,P450酶代谢TMX有两条不同路径：一条是经过两次O-亚甲基羟基化后通过水桥开环生成毒性减小的噻虫胺（CLO）;另一条是通过氢提取/羟基反弹羟基化甲基的过程,然后经水桥转移氢质子发生N-脱甲基反应,生成去甲基噻虫嗪（dm-TMX）,据前人实验报道该产物会导致肝肿瘤发生率的增加,具有明显的健康风险.鉴于其他烷基胺类化合物具有类似的代谢机理,进一步通过C—H键解离能(BDE_C-H)与氢提取反应的活化能（ΔE^*）建立了N-脱烷基化反应活性的预测模型,R²=0.932,平均绝对误差MAE=1.75 kcal·mol^-1,模型的稳健性良好,可以快速有效地为该类污染物的代谢活性研究提供...     

不同C/P下AOA-SBR工艺磷形态转化规律及污泥特性

采用5组厌氧/好氧/缺氧(AOA)模式运行的SBR反应器, 考察不同C/P(120, 40, 24, 17, 13)下AOA-SBR系统磷形态转化规律及污泥特性.结果表明, 5组反应器的COD、TN、NH₄⁺-N去除效果均优于一级A标准.随着C/P的降低, 系统TP去除量逐渐提高.C/P小于24时, TP的去除效果开始变差且波动剧烈, 在C/P为40时系统TP去除效果最稳定, 平均去除率为99.22%.磷形态结果表明, 随着C/P的降低, 污泥中各项磷形态含量均有所升高.IP是TP最主要的磷形态, 不同C/P下IP占TP的含量相近(约96%).随着C/P的降低, NAIP、AP占污泥TP的含量与IP都呈先上升后下降的趋势, 而OP占污泥TP的含量保持下降趋势.生物有效磷(NAIP与OP之和)对污水除磷效果影响最大, C/P为40的系统中污泥中生物有效磷占比最高, 污水TP去除效果最好.污泥MLSS与SVI值随着C/P的降低而增大, C/P较低的系统有发生污泥膨胀的风险.高通量测序表明, 随着C/P的降低, 除Dechloromonas外, PAOs与DPB含量均有所下降, 污水TP去除效果较差且波动较大.     

New cytochrome P450 1B1, 1C1, 2Aa, 2Y3, and 2K genes from Chinese rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus): Molecular characterization,basal expression and response of rare minnow CYP1s and CYP2s mRNA exposed to the AHR agonist benzo[a]pyrene

Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) genes play an important role in catalyzing oxidative metabolism of toxicants. Recently, CYP1 subfamily were discovered and reported in fish, however, little is known regarding the CYP2 isoforms in fish. In the present study, the cDNA fragments of CYP 1B1 and 1C1 and CYP2Aa, 2Y3, and 2K of rare minnow were cloned and exhibited a high amino acid sequence identity compared with their zebrafish orthologs. Basal expression showed CYP1C1 and CYP 2Aa expression were observed in all eight tissues analyzed (liver, gill, intestine, kidney, spleen, brain, skin, and muscle). CYP 1A, and 1B1 expression was found in all tissues except for muscle and skin. However, CYP 2Y3 was expressed in liver, spleen, intestine and muscle whereas CYP 2 K in liver, kidney and intestine. 4 and 100 μg L⁻¹ Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) induced patterns showed that CYP 1A, 1B1 and 1C1 expression in liver, gill, and intestine was strongly up-regulated (p < 0.05). Furthermore, CYP 2Y3 was strongly induced in liver from BaP treatments (p < 0.05). The high induction on mRNA level of CYP1s and CYP 2Y3 by BaP could be associated with catalyzing detoxification and indicated that CYP2s may also be potential biomarker to screen AHR agonist. The high responsiveness of CYP1 and 2 genes suggested Chinese rare minnow is feasible to screen and assess pollution with AHR agonist.     

SPRING RUNOFF AND DRAINAGE N AND P LOSSES FROM HOG-MANURED CORN1

ABSTRACT: A two-year study was conducted to assess the effect of hog manure on the losses of nitrogen and phosphorus in runoff and drainage from grain-corn (Zea mays L.) plots, and the importance of spring versus annual loads. Treatments consisted of mineral N-P-K fertilizer applied at rates of 152 kg N ha^-1, 35 kg P ha^-1, and 86 kg K ha^-1; and hog (Sus scrofa domestica L.) manure applied preplant or post-emergence (six-to-eight leaf stage), at 152 kg N ha^-1, 39 kg P ha^-1, and 112 kg K ha^-1. The plots were rototilled (7 cm depth) in spring to incorporate fertilizer and preplant hog manure, and fall chisel-plowed (15 cm depth) to incorporate chopped corn residues. They were arranged in a completely randomized plot design. Flow volumes and nutrient levels in runoff and drainage waters were monitored year round but occurred mainly during the snowmelt (March 25-April 9), and post.snowmelt (April 10-May 13) periods. Of the total amount of water lost during snowmelt, 90 percent was in runoff, while 92 percent occurred as drainage in the post-snowmelt period. Sixty-five percent of the total annual volume of water lost was lost during these two periods as runoff and drainage. Treatments did not affect the annual snowmelt or post-snowmelt N and P loads. Total annual loads averaged 8.0 kg TKN ha^-1, 1.8 kg NH₄-N ha^-1, 43 kg NO₃-N ha^-1, 0.4 kg TP ha^-1, and 0.15 kg PO₄-P ha^-1. Spring (snowmelt and ost-snowmelt) runoff and drainage loads averaged 2.9 kg TKN ha^-1, 1.2 kg NH₄-N ha^-1, 18 kg NO₃-N ha^-1, 0.25 kg TP ha^-1, and 0.04 kg PO₄-P ha^-1, which were 40 percent to 70 percent of the yearly nutrient loads. Therefore, the hog manure management systems examined were of no greater threat to the environment than mineral fertilizers. However, spring N and P losses do represent an important part of the annual nutrient loss budget, even with conservation practices.     

施加磷元素后对小麦抗重金属铜毒性的影响

将小麦幼苗放在含有不同浓度磷元素(1 mmol/L和10 mmol/L)和铜元素(0.16μmol/L、100μmol/L和1 mmol/L)的培养液中处理12 h后,观察植物体内铜元素的含量、叶绿素含量、抗坏血酸循环的变化.结果表明,当培养液中施加的铜元素浓度相同时,施加较高浓度的磷(10 mmol/L)能促进植物根部吸收和积累铜,并能促进铜元素从根部向地上部的运输.此外,实验结果还表明,当培养液中都含有较少量的铜(0.16μmol/L)元素时,比较磷浓度对植物体内生理反应的影响时,发现在含有高浓度磷的培养液中培养的小麦体内的受到较少的膜质过氧化损伤,光合色素的含量保持稳定.但是,当培养液中有较高浓度的铜元素(100μmol/L和1 mmol/L)时,施加高浓度的磷反而加剧了植物体内的膜质过氧化损伤和引起光合色素的分解,从而不利于植物正常的生长发育.     

表征室外人体暴露的监测网络设计(待续)

对悬浮颗粒物室外人体暴露的测定一直受到可用资源的限制，设计有效的网络就要求对测定方法的选择、采样点的数量、采样时间、采样频率等进行调整。采样位置要求能表征因周围污染源对附近地区和城市最小影响的空间数值。虽然大多数判定PM是否达标的测定方法是每第3天至第6天的24 h监测，但是室外人体暴露的评价要求连续监测一整天，最好有1h或更短时间的监测时段。更详细的粒径大小和化学性质数据也很有必要，因为较小的颗粒及其特殊的化学物质要比总的样品质量更有助于反映对健康的不良影响。

细胞色素P450酶系作为生物标志物在毒理学上的应用

细胞色素P450酶系是一种血红素-硫铁蛋白(heme-thiolate protein)，它是由结构和功能相关的超家族(superfamily)基因编码的含铁血红素同工酶组成。对许多内源性和外源性的化学物质尤其是对环境有害化合物存在有氧氧化代谢作用以实现机体的解毒作用，但在某些情况下，外来物质可能被转化为具细胞毒性、致突变性或致癌作用更强的物质，起毒性活化作用。本文对细胞色素P450的研究简史及其作为生物标志物在毒理学上的应用作了简要的综述。提出细胞色素P450酶系在毒理学上的意义是可作为污染物潜在影响的早期预警信号系统对环境污染上物进行监测和预报，且对于制定预防性的管理措施，及时避免或减轻环境污染的损害都具有重要意义。
