Combining bioaccumulation and coping mechanism to enhance long-term site-specific risk assessment for zinc susceptibility of bivalves

The purpose of this study is to conduct a long-term site-specific risk assessment for zinc (Zn) susceptibility of bivalves, green mussel Perna viridis and hard clam Ruditapes philippinarum, based on published experimental data by linking the biologically-based damage assessment model with the subcellular partitioning concept. A comprehensive risk modeling framework was developed to predict susceptibility probability of two bivalve species exposed to waterborne Zn. The results indicated that P. viridis accumulates more Zn toxicity, whereas both toxic potency and the recovery rate of Zn are higher for R. philippinarum. We found that negative linear correlations exist in elimination-recovery and elimination-detoxification relationships, whereas a positive linear correlation was observed in recovery-detoxification relationships for bivalves exposed to waterborne Zn. Simulation results showed that the spatial differences of susceptibility primarily resulted from the variation of waterborne Zn concentration under field conditions. We found that R. philippinarum is more susceptible of Zn than P. viridis under the same exposure condition. Results also suggested that Zn posed no significant susceptibility risk to two bivalve species in Taiwan. We suggested that these two species can be used to biomonitor the water quality on Taiwan coastal areas.     

A GIS-based technique for linking landscape characteristics to non-point source nitrogen export potential: implications for contributing areas management

A Nitrate-N Leaching Index (NLI) is calculated and the results indicate that nitrogen loss in the study area occurs through both leaching and surface runoff. A non-linear regression model of trapping efficiency was combined with a first order decay model to examine the impact of soil characteristics, slope, vegetative cover, land use and distance to streams on the spatial pattern of non-point source nitrogen inputs to streams. The model evaluates the statistical significance of each landscape factor and provides an easy interpretation of the landscape delivery ratio of nitrogen based on a pixel-based characterisation of the watershed. The model was validated by comparing the distributions of the observed and estimated monthly nitrogen concentrations. The exploratory GIS-based method presented here can improve the understanding of the impact of landscape characteristics on nitrate-nitrogen contributing areas and therefore assist watershed management efforts.

为制订合理的大气污染物减排措施,利用中国环境监测总站公布的2015年1-12月299座城市实时发布的环境空气颗粒物（PM_2.5和PM₁₀）及气态污染物（CO、NO₂和SO₂）的质量浓度数据,对其进行了时空分布特征及其相关性研究.结果表明:① 2015年城市环境空气颗粒物污染严重,299座城市的ρ（PM_2.5）、ρ（PM₁₀）年均值分别主要集中在25~60和40~110 μg/m3,年均值达到GB 3095-2012《环境空气质量标准》二级标准的城市所占比例分别仅为24%和38%.② 城市大气污染物浓度具有明显的季节性特征,基本呈冬季>春秋季>夏季的趋势,其中冬季ρ（PM_2.5）、ρ（PM₁₀）、ρ（CO）、ρ（NO₂）、ρ（SO₂）分别为（73±27）（114±42）（1.49±0.61）（36±14）（42±33）μg/m3.③ 高ρ（PM_2.5）和ρ（PM₁₀）主要集中在华北平原,年均值分别为（70±16）（117±22）μg/m3;高ρ（CO）主要出现在山西省,年均值为（1.76±0.48）mg/m3;高ρ（NO₂）主要分布在京津冀、山东省和长江三角洲,年均值分别为（42±6）（39±9）（34±8）μg/m3;高ρ（SO₂）主要分布在山西、山东两省,年均值分别为（54±10）（41±16）μg/m3.④ Pearson相关系数研究表明,我国城市环境空气颗粒物与气态污染物具有较强的复合性,并且具有秋冬季明显强于春夏季的季节性特征.研究显示,我国城市大气污染具有较强的季节性、区域性与复合性,在降低环境空气颗粒物浓度的同时,对气态污染物的削减也不容忽视.      

长江口沉积物重金属赋存形态及风险特征

基于长江口沉积物8种重金属(As、Cd、Cr、Cu、Hg、Ni、Pb、Zn)总量与形态在丰、平、枯水期以及14个典型点位的分布特征,通过平衡分配法建立了长江口沉积物质量基准(SQGs),并以此评价长江口沉积物重金属生态风险,揭示重金属生态风险与其形态特征间的相关关系.结果表明,除Cd之外,长江口沉积物重金属以残渣态为主导形态,尤其是As、Cr、Hg,其残渣态含量均为90%以上.长江口As、Cd、Cr、Cu、Hg、Ni、Pb、Zn的沉积物质量基准分别为43.29、0.672、79.65、19.08、0.569、339.09、30.87、411.36μg·g~(-1).Cu的生态风险程度最高,对水生生物具有较大的毒性影响,应当引起重视.河口上游受到长江径流影响大,在丰水期风险较高,在平水期和枯水期则风险偏低;而下游受上海等城市排污影响较大,风险较高(尤其在平水期和枯水期).8种重金属的生态风险与赋存形态之间表现出3种不同的相关关系.     

新型钛酸钠填料对Cu2+、Pb2+、Zn2+和Cd2+的竞争吸附研究

以钛酸钠纳米纤维为原材料制备新型钛酸钠填料,对水体中常见的重金属(Cu~(2+)、Pb~(2+)、Zn~(2+)和Cd~(2+))进行竞争吸附实验研究,分析了四元、三元及双组分竞争吸附的选择性吸附特性,并探讨了4种金属离子在钛酸钠填料上的相互作用关系.结果显示,初始浓度较低时,4种离子之间的相互影响差异性不明显;随着初始浓度的升高,4种离子的竞争吸附分配系数都呈下降的趋势,竞争吸附系数大小顺序为:Pb~(2+)Cu~(2+)Zn~(2+)Cd~(2+),这与重金属离子的第一水解常数大小顺序一致.竞争吸附结果表明,水中存在Pb~(2+)时,其余3种离子的吸附都会被抑制,尤其对Zn~(2+)和Cd~(2+)的抑制更显著,即在钛酸钠填料上Pb~(2+)的竞争吸附能力最强,Cu~(2+)次之,而Zn~(2+)和Cd~(2+)的竞争吸附能力较弱,其吸附过程容易受到其他二价金属离子的抑制.

滇池水体总悬浮物散射系数参数化模型

总悬浮物的散射系数是水体非常重要的固有光学量之一,散射系数的参数化研究,对于水体生物光学模型的构建具有非常重要的意义.2009年9月对滇池水体25个样点进行野外采样,对滇池水体水质参数、悬浮物的吸收、散射特征进行分析,并利用乘幂模型对散射系数进行参数化,分析了模型精度与色素颗粒物吸收之间的关系,进而改进乘幂模型.结果表明,在色素颗粒物吸收较强的波段,普通乘幂模型的平均相对误差为0.08,模型改进后相对误差缩小为0.02;在色素颗粒物吸收较弱的波段,会出现模型的过修正,这主要取决于色素颗粒物的吸收,因此,没有必要对乘幂模型进行修正.     

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in atmosphere and soil of a production area in China: Levels and partitioning

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were measured in atmosphere and soil samples taken in winter and summer at a PBDE production area of Laizhou Bay in China. The concentrations of P11PBDE were 0.017–1.17 ng/m3 in gaseous phase, 0.5–161.1 ng/m3 in particulate phase, and 73–2629 ng/g dry weight in soil samples. The PBDE congener pattern in the gaseous phase di ered from that in the particulate phase, and the PBDE congener pattern in the particulate phase was similar with that in soil. This demonstrated that there was little di erence with atmospheric particle-soil transfer e ciency among PBDE congeners. In addition, there were seasonal variations in percentages on particle for lower brominated congeners. The BDE-28 was mostly in the gaseous phase in summer (88.3%), whereas the average proportion of BDE-28 in gaseous phase in winter was 38.9%. Higher brominated congeners (i.e., BDE-206, BDE- 207, BDE-208, and BDE-209) were bound to the atmospheric particulate phase, and their potentials for long-range migration were mainly a ected by the environmental behavior of atmospheric particles. Results indicated that PBDE congeners in summer were closer to gas-particle partition equilibrium than in winter. Temperature should be considered the main factor causing nonequilibrium in winter.
