Application of land-use data and screening tests for evaluating pesticide runoff toxicity in surface waters

Survey information on pesticide usage in New Zealand during 1985–1989 is summarized by regions and principal applications. Two screening tests, one based on a simple water-balance method and the other based on a semiempirical runoff formula, have been used to identify 18 pesticides with application rates that may yield runoff concentrations that are harmful to aquatic fauna. These are predominantly associated either with intensive applications in horticulture or extensive applications to cereal crops and pasture. The purpose of the screening tests was to calculate typical edge-of-field concentrations in runoff and, by comparing them with known aquatic toxicity values, determine which compounds are applied at rates that may yield toxic runoff. While it may be possible to extend these methods to calculate typical surface water concentrations, further studies will be needed to evaluate pesticide persistence and assimilation in stream channels.     

苯胺对锯缘青蟹的毒性效应

采用低与高两个浓度组,进行慢与急性致毒效应实验结果表明,在低浓度组（0.5－30mg/L）锯缘青蟹没有发生急性毒性死亡的现象,但其摄食量呈现减少;在高浓度组（63～500mg/L）锯缘青蟹出现急性中毒死亡,且死亡率随毒物浓度的增加而上升,测得苯胺对锯缘青蟹的24hLC₅₀为151±69mg/L;48h　LC₅₀为91.2±5.2mg/L．在致毒浓度范围内,锯缘青蟹对苯胺积累的富集因子接近1.6,这表明生物体与海水浓度之间存在某种配比平衡的关系。     

废钻井液对环境影响分析及处理方法

废钻井液是当前油田急需解决的环保问题之一。实验分析了废钻井液浸出液有害成分以及对生物的影响。对比分析了几种废钻井液处理方法,得出结论：在焉耆盆地最佳的处理方法是固化法。     

底泥疏浚对湖泊沉积物的生态毒性效应的影响

采用淡水沉积物质量基准和微生物毒性试验方法,对疏浚前后五里湖沉积物提取液和全底泥沉积物的生态毒性进行了研究与分析.结果表明,疏浚后,沉积物中各重金属污染物的总体含量均显著降低,但是铬、铅和镍的含量仍然分布在阈值效应低值(TEL)和可能效应水平值(PEL)之间的灰色区域,仍可能对水体生态系统产生不良影响;疏浚后1个月,沉积物提取液中发光菌发光试验的EC50值降低约50%,毒性增加近1倍;与疏浚前相比,全底泥沉积物的细菌毒性试验的EC₅₀值降低11%～30%;全底泥月芽藻毒性试验的EC₅₀值也有显著降低.     

重金属对2-氯酚厌氧降解及微生态结构的影响

研究了Cu²⁺、Cd²⁺、Ni²⁺对2-氯酚(2-CP)厌氧降解及其微生态结构的影响.结果表明,重金属冲击对连续流厌氧系统具有明显的抑制作用,抑制程度为Cu²⁺>Ni²⁺>Cd²⁺;300mg/L重金属冲击使系统降解率低于30%,需驯化40d左右才能恢复,其中受Ni冲击的体系恢复较快;不同浓度金属离子对2-CP间歇降解系统的抑制作用同样为Cu²⁺>Niv²⁺>Cd²⁺;低浓度重金属离子的驯化能提高污泥对重金属的抗性,驯化后300mg/Lcu²⁺和Ni²⁺对降解速率的抑制均降低了45%左右.重金属对厌氧体系的抑制作用和对厌氧污泥微生态结构的影响之间具有很大相关性,厌氧微生态结构受Cu²⁺冲击后影响最大,受Ni²⁺影响后恢复最快.

Effects of atrazine on acetylcholinesterase activity in midges (Chironomus tentans) exposed to organophosphorus insecticides

Acetylcholinesterase activity was determined for midge larvae (Chironomus tentans) exposed to either organophosphorus insecticides (OPs) alone or OP insecticides in binary combination with atrazine (200 μg/l). Although atrazine by itself did not reduce the level of acetylcholinesterase activity, atrazine in combination with chlorpyrifos significantly decreased acetylcholinesterase activity as compared to chlorpyrifos only treatments. Although similar trends existed for malathion and methyl parathion, differences were not statistically significant. These results match previously published toxicity data where atrazine, although not acutely toxic even at much higher levels, decreased EC₅₀ values for chlorpyrifos by a magnitude of 4, decreased methyl parathion values by a magnitude of 2, and did not decrease values for malathion.     

烷基酚类的生殖干扰毒性与结构相关研究

选用4种烷基酚类化合物,对枝角类生物大型蚤进行24 h急性毒性试验和21 d生殖毒性试验,选取急性试验指标(半数致死浓度)和生殖毒性指标(母蚤存活数、幼蚤生殖量、孵化成活率、幼蚤的雌、雄性个体数等)进行定量构效相关(QSAR)研究.结果表明,所测4种烷基酚化合物均可对大型蚤的生殖特性产生活性影响.其中,4-辛基酚和对壬基酚不但能抑制大型蚤的生殖量,还可改变大型蚤孤雌生殖的幼蚤性别比率.实验化合物的一、二阶分子连接性指数与受试生物体的生殖活性有较好的相关性,且以分子亲核反应为主.
