Improving the health and safety of 911 emergency call centre agents: an evaluability assessment of a knowledge transfer strategy

A knowledge transfer (KT) strategy was implemented by the IRSST, an occupational health and safety research institute established in Québec (Canada), to improve the prevention of psychological and musculoskeletal problems among 911 emergency call centre agents. An evaluability assessment was conducted in which each aspect of the KT approach was documented systematically to determine whether the strategy had the potential to be evaluated in terms of its impact on the targeted population. A review of the literature on KT in occupational health and safety and on the evaluation of such KT programmes, along with the development of a logic model based on documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, indicated that the KT strategy was likely to have had a positive impact in the 911 emergency call centre sector. Implications for future research are discussed.

不同浸提剂条件下生物炭溶解性有机物的浸出规律

生物炭广泛应用于环境污染修复、土壤改良和废物生物转化过程,但其中的可浸出物质可能在应用过程中释放,对反应体系和环境造成不利影响.以厌氧消化不同阶段的模拟溶液(蒸馏水、缓冲盐溶液、甲醇和腐殖酸溶液)为浸提剂,采用高分辨液质联用仪,研究了不同浸提剂条件下生物炭浸出液的溶解性有机物组成.生物炭各浸出液中共检测到536种有效物质,其中有100种物质与标准物质数据库高度匹配.结果表明,这100种物质的相对分子质量分布在109～458范围内,平均相对分子质量为290. 2,涵盖苯酚类、芳香酸类、芳香醛和酮类、脂肪酸类等物质.相比传统研究方法采用的蒸馏水,生物炭在厌氧培养常用缓冲盐溶液中多浸出了3种脂肪酸和4种芳香族物质;甲醇浸出液中的物质类别最丰富,共计71种,其中包括大量的酚类和有机酸类物质;腐殖酸溶液浸取过程中,部分腐殖酸,包括醇和脂肪酸类物质会被生物炭吸附,但腐殖酸同时促进了生物炭中酚类物质的浸出,总体可被检测出的有机物种类减少了41. 7%.     

淋洗剂在重金属污染土壤修复中的研究进展

针对镉/铅等一类重金属污染土壤、砷污染土壤,以及镉-铅-砷等复合污染土壤（三类不同重金属污染土壤）,就淋洗剂在污染土壤修复中的选用等问题进行综述.总的来看,对于镉/铅等一类重金属污染土壤,螯合剂的去除率较高.如GLDA（谷氨酸N,N-二乙酸）和柠檬酸等,不仅去除率高,而且环境较友好对于砷污染土壤,复合淋洗剂的去除效果比较显著,如NaOH-EDTA对As的去除率较高对于镉-铅-砷等复合污染土壤,复合淋洗剂则更能发挥其所含各类淋洗剂的优势.如NaOH-H₃PO₄与单一淋洗剂相比,对土壤中多种重金属的去除率均较高.笔者认为,同时对土壤中多种重金属均有较高去除率且二次污染较小的复合淋洗剂将是未来的研究重点.     

螯合剂对小麦幼苗吸收金属以及土壤金属形态的效应

本文通过盆栽试验研究三种螯合剂（EDTA、[s,s】-EDDS、DTPA）对小麦幼苗吸收土壤中重金属及其它微量元素的效应,并且通过改进的BCR连续提取法分析了种植后土壤样品中金属元素的形态。结果表明：EDTA、DTPA的添加导致小麦幼苗地上部分生物量以及叶片叶绿素a含量显著下降。螯合剂的存在明显增加了Pb和Mn在幼苗根部和茎叶的富集,并增加其由根部向茎叶的传输．但对Fe和Ni的作用比较小。小麦幼苗收获时,除Zn之外,其它元素酸溶／可交换态金属含量与对照组相比均有非常显著的增加,而各元素的可还原态由于EDTA等螯合剂的添加而有明显下降。添加螯合剂的情况下,富集量与酸溶／可交换态含量之间的相关系数大大提高,且各处理组茎叶富集量与酸溶／可交换态之间呈显著（P〈0．05）或极显著相关（P〈0．01）。因此,三种螯合剂的添加主要影响的是生物可利用形态以及潜在的生物可利用形态,并且可能导致可还原态以及可氧化态向酸溶／可交换态转变,增加金属的生物可利用性,从而也增加潜在生态风险。     

聚氨酯型固沙剂改性土室内试验研究

对自主研发的PUA、PUB和PUC 3种聚氨酯型固沙剂改性土的强度、抗冲刷性、抗风蚀性等性能进行了室内试验研究,并结合聚氨酯分子结构和功能对固沙剂改良原理进行了分析。试验结果表明:3种聚氨酯型固沙剂改性土的无侧限抗压强度、内聚力得到了提高,抗冲刷和抗风蚀性能得到了明显增强;3种固沙剂改性土的无侧限抗压强度和内聚力均随着固沙剂浓度的增加而增大;PUA、PUB和PUC浓度为3g/cm3的改性土试样的冲刷率分别只有4.4%、14.7%和0.6%,而参照样高达79.5%;PUA、PUB和PUC浓度达到1g/cm3以上的改性土风蚀后表面保持完整,没有风蚀破坏痕迹。因此,聚氨酯型固沙剂可以很好地增强土体粘聚力、促进表层固化、减少水土流失,可用于坡面防护、水土保持、防尘固沙、沙漠化治理等领域。     

螯合剂对铜毒性的影响

研究了螯合剂EDTA和DTPA对海州香薷蓄铜能力和铜毒性的影响.结果显示,EDTA和DTPA能抑制植物的生长,使其生物量降低,叶绿素含量下降,同时降低了植物的根系活力.EDTA和DTPA都可引起植物SOD、POD活性上升,在与Cu²⁺共同作用下,EDTA对Cu²⁺毒性影响较小,表现在SOD、POD活性仍按Cu²⁺独立作用下的变化规律而变化,且数值上变化不大.而DTPA则降低了Cu²⁺作用下SOD、POD活性的变化.EDTA使海州香薷地上部分铜浓度增加,DTPA则明显降低了海州香薷的铜含量.

为研究取代脲类除草剂在TiO₂光催化降解过程中的动力学规律,以非草隆、异丙隆和利谷隆3种取代脲类除草剂为研究对象,通过Langmuir-Hinshelwood动力学模型对其TiO₂光催化降解动力学进行模拟,并系统探讨了催化剂用量、C₀(取代脲类除草剂的初始浓度)、溶液pH、温度、ROSs(活性氧物种)和电子捕获剂等的影响. 结果表明:非草隆、异丙隆和利谷隆的TiO₂光催化降解均符合假一级动力学模型,其动力学常数分别为0.082 8、0.068 7和0.095 4 min-1;取代脲类除草剂分子中的芳香环和脲桥上的取代基对降解速率常数的大小有明显的影响. ROSs试验表明,非草隆、异丙隆和利谷隆光催化降解过程中分别有91.6%、95.5%和86.8%的贡献来自·OH;而光生空穴和其他ROSs的贡献相对较小,并且电子捕获剂BrO₃-和S₂O₈2-对取代脲类除草剂的降解动力学有显著的促进作用.      

Ozonation of the 5-fluorouracil anticancer drug and its prodrug capecitabine: Reaction kinetics,oxidation mechanisms,and residual toxicity

Specific second-order rate constants were determined for 5-FU and CAP with ozone. Reaction sites were confirmed by kinetics, Fukui analysis, and products. The olefin moiety was the main ozone reaction site for 5-FU and CAP. Carboxylic acids comprised most of the residual TOC for 5-FU. Ozonation removed the toxicity associated with 5-FU and products but not CAP. Anticancer drugs (ADs) have been detected in the environment and represent a risk to aquatic organisms, necessitating AD removal in drinking water and wastewater treatment. In this study, ozonation of the most commonly used antimetabolite ADs, namely 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and its prodrug capecitabine (CAP), was investigated to determine reaction kinetics, oxidation mechanisms, and residual toxicity. The specific second-order rate constants between aqueous ozone and 5-FU, 5-FU⁻, 5-FU²⁻, CAP, and CAP⁻ were determined to be 7.07(±0.11)×10⁴ M⁻¹·s⁻¹, 1.36(±0.06)×10⁶ M⁻¹·s⁻¹, 2.62(±0.17)×10⁷ M⁻¹·s⁻¹, 9.69(±0.08)×10³ M⁻¹·s⁻¹, and 4.28(±0.07)×10⁵ M⁻¹·s⁻¹, respectively; furthermore, the second-order rate constants for ^•OH reaction with 5-FU and CAP at pH 7 were determined to be 1.85(±0.20)×10⁹ M⁻¹·s⁻¹ and 9.95(±0.26)×10⁹ M⁻¹·s⁻¹, respectively. Density functional theory was used to predict the main ozone reaction sites of 5-FU (olefin) and CAP (olefin and deprotonated secondary amine), and these mechanisms were supported by the identified transformation products. Carboxylic acids constituted a majority of the residual organic matter for 5-FU ozonation; however, carboxylic acids and aldehydes were important components of the residual organic matter generated by CAP. Ozone removed the toxicity of 5-FU to Vibrio fischeri, but the residual toxicity of ozonated CAP solutions exhibited an initial increase before subsequent removal. Ultimately, these results suggest that ozone is a suitable technology for treatment of 5-FU and CAP, although the residual toxicity of transformation products must be carefully considered.
