Tissue distribution of inorganic mercury, methylmercury and cadmium in the Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea) in relation to the contamination levels of the water column and sediment

The comparative experimental study of inorganic mercury (HgII), methylmercury (MeHg) and cadmium (Cd) bioaccumulation in the Asiatic clam Corbicula fluminea was based on a 14 days' exposure to the water column or sediment compartments, as initial contamination sources. For each contaminant and exposure source, a five-point concentration range was set up in order to quantify the relationships between the contamination pressure and bioaccumulation capacity, at the whole soft body level and in five organs: gills, mantle, visceral mass, kidney and foot. Hg and Cd bioaccumulation at the whole organism level was proportional to the metal concentrations in the water column or sediment. For similar exposure conditions, the average ratios between the metal concentrations in the bivalves - [MeHg]/[HgII] and [MeHg]/[Cd] - were close to 10 and 5 for the sediment source and 8 and 15 for the water column source. Metal distribution in the five organs revealed strong specificities, according to the different contamination modalities studied: kidney and gills were clearly associated with Cd exposure, mantle and foot with MeHg exposure and the visceral mass with inorganic Hg exposure.     

手性多氯联苯在电子垃圾拆解地鱼类体内的分布及累积规律

电子垃圾拆解活动已造成当地鱼类多氯联苯（Polychlorinated Biphenyls,简称PCBs）污染,但手性PCBs在鱼类体内的分布特征和选择性富集则较少有报道.本研究采集了广东省清远市龙塘镇某电子垃圾拆解区附近水塘的鱼类样品,研究鱼肉样品中手性PCBs污染水平、分布规律和对映体选择性.结果表明,在电子垃圾拆解区鱼肉样品中均检测到7种手性PCBs,总PCBs（ΣPCBs）含量为386.7~602.8 ng·g^-1（湿重）,证实当地鱼类已受到手性PCBs的污染.PCB45、PCB91、PCB95、PCB132、PCB136和PCB174在鱼类样品的对映体分数（EF值）与沉积物具有显著差异,表明这些手性PCBs在鱼类体内可能具有对映体选择性富集和代谢作用.不同种类的鱼肉样品中EF值不同,说明它们对PCBs的富集能力不同.鲮鱼、鲫鱼和乌鳢对PCBs的生物/沉积物富集因子（BSAF）分别为0.31~1.71、0.30~1.86和0.50~2.64.根据乌鳢/鲮鱼和乌鳢/鲫鱼食物关系计算的生物放大因子（BMF）范围分别为1.35~4.51和2.17~5.10,表明乌鳢对手性PCBs具有生物放大作用.     

DDTs对水生哺乳动物的组织残留基准初步研究

作为一种曾经广泛使用的氯化烃杀虫剂,DDT及其主要代谢产物DDE和DDD(合称为DDTs)是一类典型的具有持久性和生物累积性的有毒污染物。亲脂性和持久性使得DDTs可以通过食物链进行生物放大,从而对处于高营养级的水生哺乳动物造成严重的毒害作用。在综述DDTs对哺乳动物的毒性研究基础上,采用物种敏感度分布(species sensitivity distribution,SSD)和毒性百分数排序法(toxicity percentile rank method,TPRM)推导DDTs保护水生哺乳动物的组织残留基准(Tissue Residue Guideline,TRG)。使用SSD和TPRM得到的TRG分别为23.9和22.7 ng·g-1食物(湿重)。相应的,DDTs保护水生哺乳动物的水质基准分别为188.2和178.7 pg·L-1。依据研究得到的DDTs的组织残留基准及其在鱼类体内的含量评估对水生哺乳动物的风险。研究结果可用于评估DDTs对水生哺乳动物的生态风险,并为DDTs的风险管理提供理论依据。     

Effects of sublethal concentrations of permethrin on bioaccumulation of cadmium in zebra cichlid (Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the synergistic and antagonistic effects of permethrin on the bioaccumulation of cadmium in zebra cichlid (Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum). Zebra cichlid was exposed to various sublethal concentrations of permethrin combined with cadmium chloride for 15 days. Although at the lowest concentrations, permethrin (0.40 µg L^?1) decreased the bioconcentration potential of cadmium in fish, bioaccumulation of cadmium increased along with increasing concentrations of permethrin (0.80–1.20 µg L^?1). However, the magnitude of changes in the accumulation of cadmium in the fishes simultaneously exposed to 1.60 µg L^?1 permetrin and cadmium chloride was similar to the cadmium levels observed in fishes after exposure to the cadmium chloride alone. The results of this study suggest that the synergistic effects of permethrin on the bioaccumulation of cadmium highly depend on the concentrations of this pesticide in water.     

THE IMPACT OF GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANTS ON FOREST VEGETATION. A CASE STUDY AT TRAVALE (TUSCANY, CENTRAL ITALY)

A survey of the crown status of Turkey oak Quercus cerris L.) trees in the boron-rich area atTravale (Southern Tuscany, Italy) was carried outin order to evaluate the impact ofgeothermal power plants. Crown thinness was assessed andmorphological and chemical tests werecarried out on leaf samples. Leaf area and dry weight weredetermined as morphological parameters;while the chemical measurements performed included nitrogenand potassium (among the nutrients),and sulphur, boron, arsenic and mercury (among the elements ofgeothermal origin). Acute damagewas found only in the area immediately adjacent to the outletsand is the result of the action of boron;crown thinness, on the other hand, is affected by the natureof the geological substrate. High quantitiesof sulphur were found in leaves throughout the survey area,due both to the availability of this elementin the geopedological substrate and to the atmospheric inputof geothermal H2S. The leafcontent of this element correlates negatively with thedistance from the power plants. Boron andarsenic are the other geothermal origin elements most commonlyfound in plant matrices. The presenceof these two elements is associated with leaf area reductionand/or an increase of specific dry weight.The most significant impact on the environment appears to beexerted by the southernmost powerplant, where there is an unfavourable ratio between quantityof emissions and height of the chimneys.     

太湖水体中丁基锡化合物污染现状研究

对太湖表层水、沉积物和水生生物样品的丁基锡污染物进行了研究.结果表明,绝大多数表层水样中未检出丁基锡化合物;沉积物样品中丁基锡的检出率为50%,浓度在0～0.95ng/g范围内,主要以一丁基锡为主;生物样品中检测到较高含量的丁基锡污染物,总丁基锡浓度为27.05～181.23 ng/g,这反映丁基锡具有明显的生物富集效应.生物样品中三丁基锡是主要污染物,大约占总丁基锡含量的70%.太湖中丁基锡的污染来源可能主要来自养殖网箱和船舶防污涂料的使用.

Bioavailability of Metals in Fly Ash and Their Bioaccumulation in Naturally Occurring Vegetation: A Pilot Scale Study

A pilot scale study was conducted to find out the different forms of metals if fly ash (FA) and bioaccumulation of these metals in the naturally growing vegetation on FA dumps. The total, acid extractable, bioavailable and water soluble fraction of metals of Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Ni, Co and Pb, and their bioaccumulation coefficients (BAC) on naturally growing vegetation were determined. FA samples had a neutral pH, low electrical conductivity, low organic C and trace amounts of N and P. The relative abundance of total metals in FA were found in the order Fe ≤ ≤ Zn ≤ Ni ≤ Co ≤ Cu. The concentration of bioavailable (DTPA) metals depend on the type and nature of coal used in thermal power stations. In the water the extract solution, only Fe and Zn were found above detection limits. After one year only four species of naturally occurring herbaceous vegetation were found growing and Cynodon dactylon (grass) covered almost entire surface of the FA. Iron accumulated to the greatest extent in vegetation followed by Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni and Co. The sequence of BAC for different metals were Fe (202) ≤ Mn (90) ≤ Zn (63) ≤ Pb (49) ≤ Ni (41) ≤ Cu (24). The experimental study revealed that Cynodon grass could be used for remediation of fly ash without any amendments, as this grass species act as metal excluder type.     

Triclosan in Fresh Water Fish Gibelion Catla from the Kaveri River,India, and Its Consumption Risk Assessment

Triclosan is a common antimicrobial agent that is found in significant levels in the aquatic environment and may elicit effects on aquatic organisms through unexpected modes of action. In this study, triclosan was quantified in fish from the Kaveri River, India, by using the gas chromatography and mass spectrometry technique and it was found in the range of 0.73–50 ng/g wet weight (ww). The mean bioaccumulation factor based on water (BAF_w 820) and sediment (BAF_s 2.12) in the Kaveri River showed that triclosan is accumulative in fish, and reflects its feeding behavior. The bioaccumulation indicates triclosan's persistence or prevalence throughout the river stretch. Human risk assessment through dietary intake demonstrated that the triclosan exposure is five orders of magnitude lower than the acceptable daily intake (50 μg/kg bw) and US EPA reference dose (300 μg/kg bw/day). This investigation is the first to report the bioaccumulation of triclosan in freshwater fish from India. Further, the results indicate that this fish acts as a biomarker of exposure for triclosan and thus shall be used to report triclosan pollution in the future.
