Dissipation pattern and residual levels of boscalid in cucumber and soil using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

Abstract

To stipulate the rationale of spraying doses and to determine the safe interval period of boscalid suspension concentrate (SC), the degradation dynamics and residual levels were investigated in cucumber and soil using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Field trials were conducted according to Chinese Guideline on pesticide residue trials. Following application, the degradation kinetics was best ascribed to first-order kinetic models with half-life of 2.67–9.90 d in cucumber. Spraying boscalid SC at 1.5-fold the recommended dosage yield terminal residues, which are clearly lower than the maximum residue limit (MRL) established by China (MRL =5?mg.kg^?1) in cucumber. At variance, the dissipation dynamics in soil did not fit to first-order kinetics and the half-life was more than 17?days, the finding which denotes that the degradation behavior of boscalid in soil proceeds slowly. It has therefore been shown that boscalid is safe for use on cucumbers under the recommended dosage.

绿色合成纳米氧化铁对污染土壤中镉的钝化研究

虽然绿色合成纳米材料已成功地用于去除废水中的重金属,但利用绿色合成纳米材料钝化土壤中重金属的报道很少.本文利用植物叶提取液制备纳米氧化铁(GION),并将其用于钝化土壤中重金属镉的研究,观察中、短培养周期下对镉钝化的稳定性.实验室条件下设置50%田间最大持水量培养,对照、1%、3%、9%GION 4个处理.分别于第60、120 d采样分析土壤中镉、pH、铁、酶等相关指标的变化.结果表明,GION对土壤中镉有较好的钝化效果,60 d与120 d之间有效态镉的含量无显著差异,说明GION对土壤中镉的钝化作用随时间增长相对稳定.120 d的数据显示,相比对照组,1%、3%、9%GION处理下有效态Cd(0.1 mol·L~(-1) CaCl_2)分别降低了19.1%、16.7%、66.7%,交换态Cd(Tessier法)分别降低了12.5%、18.8%、56.3%.GION能够显著提高土壤的pH和铁的含量.pH提高能够显著降低Cd的有效性.(NH_4)C_2O_4-Fe则分别增加了0.7、1.1、1.9倍,DCB-Fe分别增加了0.4、2.9、6.0倍.另外,随培养时间的延长,(NH_4)C_2O_4-Fe和DCB-Fe增加而HCl-Fe~(2+)含量降低.说明GION影响土壤中铁物种的活性,增强其生物化学过程而转化为更加稳定的形态,该过程将改变镉在土壤中的赋存形态.通过扫描电镜-能谱(SEM-EDS)发现,GION处理残渣态中Fe的含量远高于对照组,说明镉可能随铁进入残渣态.土壤中脲酶和转化酶活性升高而过氧化氢酶则没有显著的变化.该结果说明GION降低了土壤中镉的生物有效性,土壤得以恢复,从而提升了土壤酶活性.综上所述,GION具有环境友好的特点,且对镉具有稳定的钝化作用,可作为一种良好的中低污染重金属污染土壤的修复剂.
