Characterization of dissolved organic matter as N-nitrosamine precursors based on hydrophobicity, molecular weight and fluorescence

It is very important to identify the dominant precursors for N-nitrosamine formation from bulk organic matter, to enhance the understanding of N-nitrosamine formation pathways in water treatment plants and allow the development of practical treatment technologies. In this study, dissolved organic matter (DOM) from two source waters was fractionated with XAD resins and ultra- filtration membranes. The N-nitrosamine formation potential (FP) (ng of N-nitrosamines formed per mg of dissolved organic carbon (DOC)) from raw water and each fraction were measured and correlated with the fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM), molecular weight (MW) and other assays. The results showed that the hydrophilic fraction had N-nitrosamine FP 1.3 to 3.5 times higher than the hydrophobic fraction from both source waters. The DOM fraction with low MW was the dominant fraction in these two source waters and contributed more precursors for N-nitrosamine formation than the larger MW fraction. The EEM spectra indicated there were notable amounts of soluble microbial products (SMPs) and aromatic proteins in the two studied rivers, which probably originated from wastewater discharge. The SMPs tended to be more closely correlated with N-nitrosodimethylamine formation potential than the other DOM components. Higher N-nitrosamine FP were also related to fractions with lower DOC/DON ratios and lower SUVA 254 values.     

Intra-industry trade in intermediate products, pollution and internationally increasing returns

This paper examines the relationship between intra-industry trade in intermediate products, pollution and increasing returns. We develop a two-country model in which production occurs in two stages, final and intermediate good production. Intermediate goods are produced under monopolistic competition and final good production exhibits increasing returns with respect to the number of varieties of intermediates. Pollution occurs in the production of the final good when polluting intermediates are used. We analyze the effects of international trade in intermediate products on pollution, output and welfare under an endogenous tax scenario and with two types of pollution functions. The results show that, because of increasing returns, international trade either leads to lower total pollution in each country or lower pollution per unit of output in at least one country. In addition, intra-industry trade causes countries to import the environmental quality of their trading partners.

地理标志农产品种植户气象灾害的适应策略研究——以陕西猕猴桃种植户为例

基于地理标志农产品种植户的实地调研数据,利用多元线性回归模型从生计维度研究种植户对猕猴桃物候期内气象灾害的感知及适应策略的影响因素。物候期内气象灾害的感知对种植户适应能力有显著影响。不同类别生计资本对于种植户采取适应策略的影响具有差异性：自然资本通过提升家庭生计基础显著影响种植户采取越冬期冻害、芽膨大期冻害适应策略;物质资本通过改善家庭生产物资形式影响种植户采取越冬期冻害适应策略;金融资本通过拓宽家庭金融收入渠道等方式显著影响种植户采取越冬期冻害、芽膨大期冻害、高温日灼灾害适应策略;社会资本通过丰富家庭同质性和异质性社会资本显著影响种植户采取夏季干旱适应策略;人力资本则通过提升家庭整体教育质量并推动再生产能力显著影响种植户采取芽膨大期冻害与秋季连阴雨适应策略。最后,建议政府应通过提升种植户获取气象信息能力、加强举办农业培训等技能学习活动、完善农业组织建设等措施以提升其适应能力。     

Molecular characterization of methanogenic microbial communities for degrading various types of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon

Knowledge on methanogenic microbial communities associated with the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is crucial to developing strategies for PAHs bioremediation. In this study, the linkage between the type of PAHs and microbial community structure was fully investigated through 16S rRNA gene sequencing on four PAH-degrading cultures. Putative degradation products were also detected. Our results indicated that naphthalene (Nap)/2-methylnaphthalene (2-Nap), phenanthrene (Phe) and anthracene (Ant) sculpted different microbial communities. Among them, Nap and 2-Nap selected for similar degrading bacteria (i.e., Alicycliphilus and Thauera) and methanogens (Methanomethylovorans and Methanobacterium). Nap and 2-Nap were probably activated via carboxylation, producing 2-naphthoic acid. In contrast, Phe and Ant shaped different bacterial and archaeal communities, with Arcobacter and Acinetobacter being Phe-degraders and Thiobacillus Ant-degrader. Methanogenic archaea Methanobacterium and Methanomethylovorans predominated Phe-degrading and Ant-degrading culture, respectively. These findings can improve our understanding of natural PAHs attenuation and provide some guidance for PAHs bioremediation in methanogenic environment.     

Transformation of sulfamethazine during the chlorination disinfection process: Transformation, kinetics, and toxicology assessment

Various disinfection byproducts(DBPs) form during the process of chlorination disinfection,posing potential threats to drinking water safety and human health. Sulfamethazine(SMT),the most commonly used and frequently detected veterinary antibiotic, was investigated in detail with regard to its transformation and kinetics in reactions with free available chlorine(FAC). Using liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry, several DBPs were identified based on different confidence levels, and a variety of reaction types, including desulfonation, S–N cleavage, hydroxylation, and chlorine substitution, were proposed. The kinetic experiments indicated that the reaction rate was FAC-and pH-dependent, and SMT exhibits low reactivity toward FAC in alkaline conditions. The DBPs exhibited a much higher acute toxicity than SMT, as estimated by quantitative structure activity relationship models. More importantly, we observed that the FAC-treated SMT reaction solution might increase the genotoxic potential due to the generation of DBPs. This investigation provides substantial new details related to the transformation of SMT in the chlorination disinfection process.     

超滤膜负载UiO-66@Fe3O4@UiO-66强化PPCPs去除和膜污染控制

本研究通过聚偏氟乙烯（PVDF）膜内负载具有协同吸附和催化作用的金属有机骨架（MOFs）,吸附去除水中药品及个人护理品（PPCPs）,并且达到膜滤过程中多功能材料吸附能力再生和膜污染控制的双重目的.在膜吸附方面,共混基质膜（MMMs）内MOFs材料UiO-66@Fe₃O₄@UiO-66能够有效吸附以水杨酸（SA）和邻-苯二甲酸二甲酯（DMP）为模板化合物的两种常见PPCPs.在膜催化再生方面,UiO-66@Fe₃O₄@UiO-66中的Fe₃O₄能够催化H₂O₂生成强氧化性的羟基自由基（HO·）,实现对MOFs/PVDF膜吸附能力再生和膜内污染控制的耦合.结果表明,pH=7±0.1条件下,10% MOFs/PVDF膜对0.1 mmol·L^-1 SA和DMP吸附去除率最高,它们的去除率可分别达到64.2%和46.1%.除此之外,膜内UiO-66@Fe₃O₄@UiO-66催化5 mmol·L^-1 H₂O₂,能够使膜通量和膜吸附性能恢复率分别达到91.8%和94.2%.实验设计的这种负载多功能MOFs共混基质膜的特点是它对膜吸附能力再生和膜污染控制过程的耦合.这为生化尾水深度净化过程中PPCPs去除和膜抗污染性能改善提供了新的思路.     

水土资源匹配视角下中国省域农产品供需平衡分析及其政策启示

粮食安全关系到中国稳定与发展和国际贸易秩序。以省级行政区为基本单位,基于2016—2018年各省份常住人口、农产品消费量、农业数据及相关参数,采用生态足迹和水足迹评价方法,在只考虑食用和再生产消费且不考虑地区耕地质量差异的条件下,核算各省份农产品自给的水土资源需求,评价中国省域水土资源承载力状态。结果显示：（1）中国现有耕地资源总量可满足自身耕地总需求（前者是后者1.81倍）,但省际差异大,东部沿海省市耕地不足。（2）农业可用水资源总量亦可满足农业可持续生产需求,但区域严重不平衡,华北平原与宁夏水资源赤字严重,而青藏高原地区、长江以南省份农业可用水资源丰富。（3）水土资源空间不匹配制约了中国农业的粮食生产潜力,不考虑环境净化用水,水土资源匹配状态可满足全国粮食自给需求;但考虑环境净化用水,中国粮食难以实现自给,承载力赤字达33715.50万人。以资源环境可持续为导向,未来中国应从农业生产布局优化、农业结构调整、农业科技、产业与人口转移、农产品进口和农业国际合作等方面着手,解决中国农产品需求问题。

有机紫外吸收剂BP-3的厌氧污泥降解特性

2-羟基-4-甲氧基二苯甲酮（BP-3）作为化学品添加剂广泛应用于防晒霜、化妆品和染色剂等个人护理品以及塑料制品,用于吸收紫外线防止皮肤晒伤、材料老化和腐蚀.经使用后BP-3随污水排放或者人类涉水活动直接或间接排放到受纳水环境.因BP-3属于疏水性化合物,进入水环境后更易于分配至污泥和沉积物等缺氧和厌氧环境,厌氧微生物降解是BP-3重要的自然消减过程.然而,目前BP-3在不同厌氧条件下的降解转化机制仍不清楚.本研究以城市污水处理厂厌氧污泥为接种体,对比分析了不同厌氧还原条件和碳源共代谢对BP-3厌氧降解转化的差异.研究结果表明,硝酸盐、硫酸盐还原条件抑制BP-3的厌氧降解,而额外添加混合碳源可促进BP-3的降解（最短降解半衰期为1.285 d）.通过对混合碳源体系厌氧菌群驯化培养,BP-3降解能力显著提高,降解半衰期缩短至0.734 d （10 mg·L^-1）.利用UPLC-QTOF-MS鉴定主要降解中间产物为2,4-二羟基二苯甲酮（BP-1）,推测其厌氧降解转化主要途径为去甲基化.筛查获得了一株BP-3高效厌氧降解单菌,通过16S rDNA测序比对确定为柠檬酸杆菌属兼性厌氧菌.
