Assessment of polychlorobiphenyls in human/poultry fat and in hair/plumage from a contaminated area

HR gas chromatographic PCB patterns in human/poultry fat tissue and hair/plumage in samples from a polluted region of Bela Krajina /Slovenia/ were investigated. The concentration of PCBs in human adipose tissue was found to be 9.62 μg/g in comparison to 0.67 μg/g in the adipose tissue of the non-exposed population, and in poultry fat 12.80 μg/g on a fat basis. The corresponding values in human hair and poultry plumage were 0.90 μg/g and 0.20 μg/g of original weight. The difference in PCB patterns between fat and hair can be attributed to the different routes of contamination (ingestion, air transport), to the time of exposure and physicochemical properties (octanol- water partition coefficients, Henry's law constants and the metabolism) of some individual congeners. Hair could be used for the assessment of ingestion of contaminated food and of the PCB levels in the air. In fat tissue PCB congeners with higher metabolic stability are enriched, whereas in hair PCB congeners with higher concentrations in air and with high octanol- water partition coefficients predominate.     

Variation of male nuptial plumage in the willow ptarmigan <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lagopus lagopus</Emphasis> L.

In male willow ptarmigans, the relationship between qualitative differences between birds belonging to different intrapopulation groups and some individual features of male nuptial plumage has been revealed by studying banded birds. Thus, males that have changed their nesting site differ from those returning to the former site and bigamous males differ from monogamous in the number and size of dark spots amid the white plumage. The influence of the time of the onset of spring on the development of nuptial plumage is considered.     

Ultraviolet light-emitting diodes in water disinfection

Background, aim, and scope  The novel system of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs) was studied in water disinfection. Conventional UV lamps, like mercury vapor lamp, consume much energy and are considered to be problem waste after use. UV LEDs are energy efficient and free of toxicants. This study showed the suitability of LEDs in disinfection and provided information of the effect of two emitted wavelengths and different test mediums to Escherichia coli destruction. Materials and methods  Common laboratory strain of E. coli (K12) was used and the effects of two emitted wavelengths (269 and 276 nm) were investigated with two photolytic batch reactors both including ten LEDs. The effects of test medium were examined with ultrapure water, nutrient and water, and nutrient and water with humic acids. Results  Efficiency of reactors was almost the same even though the one emitting higher wavelength had doubled optical power compared to the other. Therefore, the effect of wavelength was evident and the radiation emitted at 269 nm was more powerful. Also, the impact of background was studied and noticed to have only slight deteriorating effect. In the 5-min experiment, the bacterial reduction of three to four log colony-forming units (CFU) per cubic centimeter was achieved, in all cases. Discussion  When turbidity of the test medium was greater, part of the UV radiation was spent on the absorption and reactions with extra substances on liquid. Humic acids can also coat the bacteria reducing the sensitivity of the cells to UV light. The lower wavelength was distinctly more efficient when the optical power is considered, even though the difference of wavelengths was small. The reason presumably is the greater absorption of DNA causing more efficient bacterial breakage. Conclusions  UV LEDs were efficient in E. coli destruction, even if LEDs were considered to have rather low optical power. The effect of wavelengths was noticeable but the test medium did not have much impact. Recommendations and perspectives  This study found UV LEDs to be an optimal method for bacterial disinfection. The emitted wavelength was found to be an essential factor when using LEDs; thus, care should be taken in selecting the proper LED for maximum disinfection.

Effects of nano-TiO(2) in combination with ambient UV-irradiation on a leaf shredding amphipod

Production and use of engineered nanoparticles, such as titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO₂), is increasing worldwide, enhancing their probability to enter aquatic environments. However, direct effects of nTiO₂ as well as ecotoxicological consequences due to the interactions of nTiO₂ with environmental factors like ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on representatives of detrital food webs have not been assessed so far. Hence, the present study displayed for the first time adverse sublethal effects of nTiO₂ at concentrations as low as 0.2 mg L⁻¹ on the leaf shredding amphipod Gammarus fossarum both in presence and absence of ambient UV-irradiation following a 7-d exposure. In absence of UV-irradiation, however, the effects seemed to be driven by accumulation of nTiO₂ at the bottom of the test vessels to which the gammarids were potentially exposed. The adverse sublethal and lethal effects on gammarids caused by the combined application of nTiO₂ and ambient UV-irradiation are suggested to be driven by the formation of reactive oxygen species. In conclusion, both the accumulation of nTiO₂ at the bottom of the test vessel and the UV induced formation of reactive oxygen species clearly affected its ecotoxicity, which is recommended for consideration in the environmental risk assessment of nanoparticles.
