Fish forewarning of comprehensive toxicity in water environment based on Bayesian sequential method

Environmental impact of pollutants can be analyzed effectively by acquiring fish behavioral signals in water with biological behavior sensors. However, a variety of factors, such as the complexity of biological organisms themselves, the device error and the environmental noise, may compromise the accuracy and timeliness of model predictions. The current methods lack prior knowledge about the fish behavioral signals corresponding to characteristic pollutants, and in the event of a pollutant invasion, the fish behavioral signals are poorly discriminated. Therefore, we propose a novel method based on Bayesian sequential, which utilizes multi-channel prior knowledge to calculate the outlier sequence based on wavelet feature followed by calculating the anomaly probability of observed values. Furthermore, the relationship between the anomaly probability and toxicity is analyzed in order to achieve forewarning effectively. At last, our algorithm for fish toxicity detection is verified by integrating the data on laboratory acceptance of characteristic pollutants. The results show that only one false positive occurred in the six experiments, the present algorithm is effective in suppressing false positives and negatives, which increases the reliability of toxicity detections, and thereby has certain applicability and universality in engineering applications.     

宣威肺癌高发区燃煤排放颗粒物中铁的价态及其氧化性

云南宣威地区的高肺癌死亡率被认为是与居民室内燃烧烟煤有关.为探明宣威地区高肺癌死亡率的原因,在宣威4个不同区域采集了原煤样品并在室内利用一套自行设计的烟气采集装置对所采集的原煤样品模拟当地燃烧条件进行了燃烧,获取燃煤排放颗粒物样品.使用BCR连续提取法(community bureau of reference,BCR)获取原煤、底灰和燃煤排放颗粒物中铁的赋存形态及分布特征,用高效液相色谱(HPLC)检测燃煤颗粒物在替代肺液(surrogate lung fluid,SLF)中产生·OH水平的变化.结果显示,原煤中存在大量的可氧化态铁,经过燃烧后,飞灰颗粒物中生物可利用的铁(酸可提取态、可还原态、可氧化态)占了很大的比重(46%~78%);燃煤颗粒物24 h所产生·OH的量在不同粒径颗粒物之间存在一定差异,在细粒径段(1μm、1.1~2μm、2~3.3μm)和粗粒径段(3.3~7μm、7μm)均表现为·OH的量随粒径减小而增加;同时,燃煤颗粒物中可氧化态Fe的含量与产生·OH能力具有一定的线性相关性(R2=0.32).     

蠡湖沉积物重金属形态及稳定性研究

以蠡湖及其入湖河口为研究对象,采用连续分级提取法研究了表层沉积物中Cr、Ni、Cu、Zn、As、Cd、Hg和Pb形态的空间赋存特征,同时结合各金属在间隙水体中的空间分布,探讨了各形态金属的稳定度及其生物有效性.结果表明,间隙水体及表层沉积物可提取态金属分布都具有明显的空间异质性,Cr、Cu、Zn、Pb的高值区沿宝界桥和蠡湖大桥呈"带状"分布,Ni、As、Cd、Hg的高值区沿河口向湖区扩展,呈"扇形"分布,并且含量都在退渔还湖区较低.沉积物中Cd、Cu、Ni的可提取态占总量的质量分数较高,分别达到71.02%、54.79%和50.62%,其余金属则主要以残渣态为主.8种金属稳定性顺序为Cr>Pb>Hg>As>Cu>Ni>Zn>Cd,Cd和Zn在大部分点位处于不稳定状态,快速解吸释放的风险较大.间隙水体毒性评估表明,各金属不会对水生生态系统产生急性毒性,但部分区域尤其是入湖河口的Hg和Pb可能会对底栖生物产生慢性毒性.     

寨上金矿矿区河流沉积物中砷的形态分析

在野外调查和样品采集的基础上,对寨上金矿矿区河流沉积物中砷的质量分数进行了测定,并采用Tessier连续提取法对砷在沉积物中的存在形态进行了提取分析。结果表明,砷在该区水系沉积物中质量分数较高（55.0~189.0μg.g-1）,说明金矿的开采已经对该区的环境造成了影响。运用Tessier连续提取法研究发现,沉积物样品中砷的提取率为89.87%~110.54%,样品沉积物中砷的形态分布基本一致,以残渣态为主,占其总量的85%以上,其他各形态相对含量较少,但相对活泼形态（水溶态、离子交换态和碳酸盐结合态）绝对质量分数较高（2.029~4.942μg.g-1）,说明该区水系沉积物中大部分砷在自然条件下相对比较稳定,小部分砷（1.10%~5.55%）易释放至环境中,但由于其绝对质量分数较高,将对环境产生较大危害。     

黄石沿江土壤镉的形态特征及生物可利用性

为了解黄石市沿长江冲积土壤中重金属镉直接和潜在的危害程度,为重金属污染防治提供科学依据,采用总量测定、Tessier连续提取法,分析研究了湖北黄石市沿江冲积土壤中重金属镉的总量及不同形态含量,镉含量采用火焰原子吸收分光光度法测定。结果表明,研究区土壤Cd全量都大于2mg/kg,不同形态Cd含量相对大小依次为残渣态铁锰氧化物结合态碳酸盐结合态有机物结合态离子交换态。其中残渣态占全量比例为58%,铁锰氧化物结合态为26%,碳酸盐结合态、有机物结合态、离子交换态分别为8%、4%和3%。可见研究区Cd的生物可利用态含量低,生物潜在可利用态较高,生物不可利用态含量最高;现有环境条件下的土壤Cd比较稳定,生物可利用性较低,对农作物的危害性较小。     

污泥土地利用中重金属铜在土壤中的迁移行为

研究通过模拟土柱淋溶实验来研究污泥土地利用中重金属铜在土壤中的迁移行为。结果表明污泥土地利用会明显增加土壤中铜的总量,但大部分集中在40 cm以上的土壤中。通过BCR连续提取法发现,经淋溶后耕作层（0 cm~30 cm）土壤中的铜仍然以残渣态为主（占50%以上）,但能被植物利用的酸溶/可交换态和可还原态铜有了明显的增加。与去离子水相比,模拟酸雨（pH=4.5）会使土壤中铜的淋溶强度增加,并更能促使其向下迁移。     

Concentrations and chemical forms of potentially toxic metals in road-deposited sediments from di erent zones of Hangzhou, China

The 25 road-deposited sediments were collected from five di erent land-use zones (industrial, residential, commercial, park, and countryside) in Hangzhou, China. The concentrations of metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in these samples were determined using ICP-AES after digestion with the mixture of HNO3-HF-HCl (aqua regia), and chemically fractionated according to the modified BCR (the European Community Bureau of Reference) sequential extraction procedure. The high metal concentration levels were detected in the sample from industrial zone and commercial zone having heavy tra c. While the low metal levels were noted in the street dust sample from residential zone, park, and countryside zone. The mobility sequence based on the sum of the BCR sequential extraction stages was: Zn (80.28%), Pb (78.68%), Cd (77.66%) > Cu (73.34%) > Mn (67.92%) > Co (41.66%) > Ni (30.36%) > Cr (21.56%), Fe (20.86%). Correlation analysis and principal component analysis were applied to the data matrix to evaluate the analytical results and to identify the possible pollution sources of metals. Factor analysis showed that these areas were mainly contaminated by three sources, namely lithology, tra c, and industry.     

Design of reaction conditions for the enhancement of microbial degradation of dyes in sequential cycles

The present study evaluated the potential of white-rot fungal strain Coriolus versicolor to decolorize five structurally di erent dyes in sequential batch reactors under optimized conditions. The experiments were run continuously for seven cycles of 8 d each. High decolorizing activity was observed even during the repeated reuse of the fungus, especially when the old medium was replaced with fresh medium after every cycle. Biodegradation was the dominating factor as the fungus was able to produce the enzyme laccase mainly, to mineralize synthetic dyes. The nutrients and composition of the medium played important roles in sustaining the decolorisation potential of the fungus. Corncob was found be an easy and cheap substitute for carbon source for the fungus. Glucose consumption by the fungus was in accordance to its decolorisation activity and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction.     

Changes in the sorption, desorption, distribution, and availability of copper, induced by application of sewage sludge on Chilean soils contaminated by mine tailings

The effect of mine tailings and sewage sludge was evaluated on sorption, desorption, availability and distribution of copper in two soils, one high (sandy soil) and one low in copper (clay soil). In both soils contaminated by mine tailings the copper sorption capacity and the affinity of the substrate for the metal decreased substantially compared to the uncontaminated soils, however, the sorption remained always high in the clay soil substrates. In the substrates with sandy soil, the high Cu content and lower clay content were determining factors in the lower magnitude of the sorption. Similarly, metal desorption was closely related to these two parameters, and it was higher in clay soil with lower pH. In general, the application of sewage sludge favored the sorption of Cu in soils contaminated and uncontaminated with mine tailings, and in all cases desorption decreased, an effect that remained for at least 30 days. Simple extraction of Cu with CaCl2 and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid gave contradictory results, so a careful choice of the procedure is required, depending on the level of metal in the soil and on the acting principle of the extracting agent. In that relation, more complete information on the changes in the metal forms was obtained by application of the sequential extraction procedure proposed by the European Community Bureau of Reference.
