壬基酚对赤子爱胜蚓的生态毒理学研究

环境激素对生态的影响越来越受到人们的重视。通过赤子爱胜蚓对壬基酚的滤纸接触法毒性试验,从分子水平揭示环境污染物对蚯蚓组织的毒性影响。在壬基酚对赤子爱胜蚓(Eiseniafoetida)的急性毒性试验中,测得72hLC50为0.908μg/cm2。在系列浓度的壬基酚暴露中,过氧化氢酶(Catalase,CAT),超氧化物歧化酶(Superoxidedismutase,SOD)和谷胱甘肽硫转移酶(GlutathioneS-transferase,GST)的敏感性依次为CAT>SOD>GST。实验结果表明,这三种酶均可作为早期NP污染预警指标。     

壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚对成年雄性斑马鱼HPG轴相关基因表达的影响

本研究以模式动物斑马鱼（Danio rerio）为受试生物,采用半静态水体暴露的方式研究了不同浓度壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚（NPEO）对斑马鱼雄性成鱼下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴（HPG轴）的影响.结果显示,考察浓度范围内的NPEO暴露可以显著上调斑马鱼脑中GnRH2、GnRHR1、GnRHR2、GnRHR4、FSHβ和LHβ基因,以及性腺中LHR基因的相对表达量.GnRHR和LHR基因表达量对较低浓度NPEO暴露较为敏感,其中GnRHR4和LHR基因表达量在低至0.001mg/L的NPEO暴露下即出现显著上调.0.1和10mg/L NPEO暴露可以显著抑制斑马鱼精巢中CYP17基因的表达量,而10mg/L NPEO暴露则可以显著诱导CYP19a基因的表达量.GnRH相关调控基因表达量的上调,表明NPEO暴露可以诱导下丘脑分泌GnRH,进而刺激垂体分泌GtH.NPEO暴露诱导CYP19a基因的表达,促进了内源雌激素的合成.同时,NPEO通过抑制CYP17表达,可能抑制睾酮（T）的合成,干扰斑马鱼精巢中原有的性激素平衡.斑马鱼精巢内雌激素水平升高负反馈给垂体,刺激垂体分泌促性腺激素.由此表明,考察浓度范围内（0.001~10mg/L）的NPEO的暴露可以影响雄性斑马鱼成鱼HPG轴的反馈调节.     

壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚在碱性印染废水中的降解

通过静态和动态连续降解实验,揭示了壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NPEO,Nonylphenol ethoxylates,浓度6.25~12.5 mg·L-1)在碱性牛仔布印染废水中的去除规律.批式活性污泥实验表明,厌氧环境下,随着p H值的增加,壬基酚(NP,Nonylphenol)产生受到抑制,短链NPEO(环氧乙烯加成数1~3,NP(1~3)EO)总浓度水平虽然只有500~900μg·L-1,却呈现增加趋势;好氧环境下,尽管NPEO总量降解率超过85%,但产生的各种短链NP(1~3)EO和短链壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚酸酯(NPEC,Nonylphenol polyethoxycarboxylate)浓度区间为10~110μg·L-1,碱性环境下两类物质总量最低,不足100μg·L-1.耦合厌氧水解和好氧曝气的连续实验表明,增设填料的厌氧折板水解池出水中短链NP(1~3)EO的总浓度增至4000~5000μg·L-1,这与厌氧环境下一部分NPEO附着在废水杂质和厌氧污泥上,在污泥龄较长的附着型污泥作用下,生成了大量的NP(1~3)EO有关;好氧段出水中NP(1~3)EO浓度降至230~610μg·L-1,短链NPEC(NP(1~3)EC)总量上升到800~1000μg·L-1,NP(1~3)EC由NP(1~3)EO转化来的可能最大.印染出水中NP及NP(1~3)EO受厌氧段出水中NP及NP(1~3)EO浓度影响明显.     

固相萃取-高效液相色谱法测定生活污水中壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚及其降解产物

比较了液-液萃取和固相萃取浓缩富集水体中壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NPnEO,n为聚合度)及其小分子代谢产物的效率,建立了复杂基体水样中壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚及其小分子代谢产物多成分同时测定的高分辨高灵敏的固相萃取(SPE)-正相高效液相色谱(NP-HPLC)-荧光检测(FL)方法。优化了影响SPE回收率的条件,洗脱溶剂和样品过柱的速度。SPE对NPnEO的回收率大于82%;使用1L水样,方法的检测限对壬基酚(NP)、NP1EO为0.01μgL,NP2EO、NP3EO为0.02μgL,NP4EO～NP12EO为0.05μgL。应用本方法测定了生活污水水样,检测到了NPnEO(n=1～12)及其小分子降解产物NP、NP1EO、NP2EO。     

水中内分泌干扰物-壬基酚的去除研究进展

壬基酚是一种内分泌干扰物,主要来源于NPEO,能通过生物富集作用进入生物体内并造成危害。当前检测水样中壬基酚的主要方法是采用GC—MS,预处理采用固相萃取。研究表明自来水厂的常规处理工艺对于壬基酚的去除有限;而活性炭、有机蒙脱土吸附等物理方法,超声声化、电化学氧化、光分解等化学方法可有效降解水中的壬基酚。     

壬基酚对球形棕囊藻的生态毒性效应

为了探讨环境激素类物质壬基酚（Nonylphenol,NP）对海洋赤潮藻的生态毒性效应,实验以球形棕囊藻（Phaeocystis globosa）为测试对象,设置了7个NP质量浓度处理（0、0.1、0.2、0.3、0.4、0.5和0.6 mg·L-1）,实验周期为96 h,测定了各处理组球形棕囊藻的生长、可溶性蛋白质量浓度、光合色素质量浓度、丙二醛（MDA）摩尔分数以及最大光能转化效率（Fv/Fm）等指标。结果表明,NP对于球形棕囊藻的96 h EC50为0.42 mg·L-1;而且,随着NP质量浓度的增加,球形棕囊藻的生长速率、可溶性蛋白质量浓度、光合色素质量浓度以及Fv/Fm等指标的下降幅度更加显著;随着NP质量浓度的增加,球形棕囊藻的MDA摩尔分数明显上升;NP低质量浓度（0.1 mg·L-1）暴露能够使球形棕囊藻的类胡萝卜素质量浓度、可溶性蛋白质量浓度和Fv/Fm等指标高于对照组,说明球形棕囊藻在NP暴露下能够产生毒物刺激效应现象。     

Vertical distribution of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates in sedimentary core from the Beipaiming Channel, North China

The vertical profiles of nonylphenol （NP） and nonylphenol ethoxylates （NPEOs） were investigated in a sediment core from the Beipaiming Channel, North China using high sensitive LC-MS and GC-MS metthods In this core, relatively high concentrations of NP and NPEOs occurred in the surface sediment （≤40 cm）, with the maximum value of NP and NPEOs reaching 3539 and 12735 mg/g, respectively, whereas, no NP or NPEOs were detected in deeper sediments （〉40 cm）. The high concentrations of NP and NPEOs in the surface layers suggested recent inputs in this area. NPEOs with short ethoxy chains （NPnEO, n=0-3） were dominant in the NPEO mixture with percentages from 54% to 78%, which were similar to the distribution of homolog NPEO in effluents from nearby sewage treatment plants （STPs）, indicating that the channel received the effluents from these STPs. The sewage treatment ratio was quite similar to that found in North America before the 1980s. Finally, the concentrations of NP and NPEOs were related to the total organic carbon （TOC） （p〈0.001）, suggesting that TOC was an important factor for vertical distribution of NPEOs and NP from the Beipaiming Channel.     

Distribution patterns of octylphenol and nonylphenol in the aquatic system at Mai Po Marshes Nature Reserve, a subtropical estuarine wetland in Hong Kong

Spatial and temporal distribution of octylphenol （OP） and nonylphenol （NP） in Mai Po Marshes, a subtropical estuarine wetland in Hong Kong, were investigated. Surface water samples were collected every month from 11 sites during the period of September- December 2004. Concentrations of OP and NP ranged from 11.3 to 348 ng/L and from 29 to 2591 ng/L, respectively. The high levels of NP and OP were found in November and December than in September and October. The levels of OP and NP have no significant spatial differences except September. Total organic matter in the sediments appeared to be an important factor in controlling the fate of these compounds in the aquatic environment.     

Octyl and nonylphenol ethoxylates and carboxylates in wastewater and sediments by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

This work presents an LC–MS–MS-based method for the quantitation of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) and octylphenol ethoxylates (OPEOs) in water, sediment, and suspended particulate matter, and three of their carboxylated derivatives in water. The alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) were analyzed using isotope dilution mass spectrometry with [¹³C₆]-labeled analogues, whereas the carboxylated derivatives were determined by external standard quantitation followed by confirmation using standard additions. The method was used to study APEO’s behavior in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), where total dissolved NP0-16EO concentration was reduced by approximately 99% from influent (390 μg l⁻¹) to final effluent (4 μg l⁻¹), and total OP0-5EO concentration decreased by 94% from 3.1 to 0.2 μg l⁻¹. In contrast, the carboxylated derivatives were formed during the process with NP0-1EC concentrations increasing from 1.4 to 24 μg l⁻¹. Short-chain APEOs were present in higher proportions in particulate matter, presumably due to greater affinity for solids compared to the long-chain homologues. NP (0.49 μg l⁻¹) and NP0-1EC (4.8 μg l⁻¹) were the only APEO-related compounds detected in a surface water sample from a WWTP-impacted estuary; implying that 90% of the mass was in the form of carboxylated derivatives. Sediment analysis showed nonylphenol to be the single most abundant compound in sediments from the Baltimore Harbor area, where differences in homologue distribution suggested the presence of treated effluent in some of the sites and non-treated sources in the rest.     

壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚在水溶液中的光降解行为研究

采用模拟日光灯和长波紫外灯（UVA-365nm）2种光源,对水溶液中壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚（NPEOs）的光降解动力学、降解过程中NPEO同系物成分的变化、以及氧化剂过氧化氢的加入对光降解的影响进行了研究,并采用LC-MS对光降解的产物进行了分析.研究表明,实验周期内NPEOs在模拟日光和长波紫外光下均发生不同程度的光降解,降解速率常数分别为6.20×10^-3　μmol/(L·h)和1.18×10^-2　μmol/(L·h).在模拟日光下,在NPEOs降解过程中观察到短链的NPEO_1,3分布比例的增加,而在长波紫外光下的降解过程中并没有发现NPEO成分分布的变化.过氧化氢的加入对NPEOs的光降解具有明显的促进作用,特别是在模拟日光下,0.01 mmol/L和1.00 mmol/L H₂O₂的加入使NPEOs的96h降解率由20.9%分别提高至44.4%和91.5%.通过LC-MS分析,初步认为壬基酚三乙氧基乙酸的烷基氧化产物(CA_3～9PEC₃)是溶液中NPEOs光降解的主要产物,并据此推断了可能的反应历程.
