有机磷阻燃剂的环境暴露与动物毒性效应

有机磷阻燃剂(OPFRs)逐渐替代了危害较大的多溴联苯醚(PBDEs),因此使得人类及其他生物更易暴露于这种有机物中。有研究表明,部分有机磷酸酯具有致癌性,因而使人们对其毒性的问题也日益关注。本文概述了有机磷阻燃剂的环境暴露水平,总结了近年来从体外与体内实验2个方面动物毒性效应的研究。目前研究发现诸多地区的大气、土壤和水体中的有机磷阻燃剂总含量水平相对较低;仅高浓度暴露才会对不同动物体造成一定程度的损伤,而远大于环境浓度的低浓度暴露几乎无损伤效应。最后,对有机磷阻燃剂毒性效应的未来研究重点进行了展望。     

季节性冻融对扎龙湿地土壤微生物群落结构和胞外酶活性的影响

选取扎龙湿地芦苇沼泽为研究对象,采用磷脂脂肪酸法和微孔板法研究了季节性冻融期土壤微生物群落结构和胞外酶活性的动态变化规律.结果表明,微生物总磷脂脂肪酸（PLFA）含量和细菌PLFA含量均呈先降低后升高趋势,而真菌PLFA含量呈先升高后降低趋势.冻融初期至融冻初期,β-葡萄糖苷酶显著降低了71.84%,β-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶表现为先升高后降低趋势,酸性磷酸酶在融冻初期最高、冻融初期最低,过氧化物酶和多酚氧化酶峰值均出现在融冻后期.主成分分析表明,季节性冻融显著改变了土壤微生物群落结构.冗余分析发现,土壤含水率与总PLFA、细菌、革兰氏阳性菌、革兰氏阴性菌、放线菌、过氧化物酶和多酚氧化酶呈显著正相关（p<0.05）;土壤全磷、速效磷、速效氮与真菌和β-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶呈显著正相关;β-葡萄糖苷酶主要受土壤碳氮比和有机质影响,而土壤微生物与胞外酶活性在不同冻融时期具有显著相关性（p<0.05）.因此,探究全球变化背景下土壤微生物和胞外酶对季节性冻融过程的响应机制,可为深入解析扎龙湿地土壤质量演变特征及湿地生态系统功能的恢复与保护提供科学依据.

Can variations in visual behavior measures be good predictors of driver sleepiness? A real driving test study

Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the association between variations in visual behavior measures and subjective sleepiness levels across age groups over time to determine a quantitative method of measuring drivers' sleepiness levels.

Method: A total of 128 volunteer drivers in 4 age groups were asked to finish 2-, 3-, and 4-h continuous driving tasks on expressways, during which the driver's fixation, saccade, and blink measures were recorded by an eye-tracking system and the subjective sleepiness level was measured through the Stanford Sleepiness Scale. Two-way repeated measures analysis of variance was then used to examine the change in visual behavior measures across age groups over time and compare the interactive effects of these 2 factors on the dependent visual measures.

Results: Drivers' visual behavior measures and subjective sleepiness levels vary significantly over time but not across age groups. A statistically significant interaction between age group and driving duration was found in drivers' pupil diameter, deviation of search angle, saccade amplitude, blink frequency, blink duration, and closure duration. Additionally, change in a driver's subjective sleepiness level is positively or negatively associated with variation in visual behavior measures, and such relationships can be expressed in regression models for different period of driving duration.

Conclusions: Driving duration affects drivers' sleepiness significantly, so the amount of continuous driving time should be strictly controlled. Moreover, driving sleepiness can be quantified through the change rate of drivers' visual behavior measures to alert drivers of sleepiness risk and to encourage rest periods. These results provide insight into potential strategies for reducing and preventing traffic accidents and injuries.     

反硝化耐冷菌Acinetobacter johnonii DBP-3的低温除磷特性

通过批实验技术研究了不同条件下一株反硝化耐冷菌Acinetobacter johnonii DBP-3(Genbank登录号JN314436,保藏号CGMCC4753)的低温除磷特性.结果表明,菌株可分别利用氧气(O2)、硝酸根(NO3-)和亚硝酸根(NO2-)为电子受体吸收溶液中的磷酸盐,不同电子受体条件下吸磷效能的大小顺序为:氧气>硝酸根>亚硝酸根.NO3-的浓度为0～150mg·L-1时,菌株对磷酸盐的吸收能力随着NO3-浓度的增加而增加.亚硝酸盐浓度为0～20mg·L-1时菌株对磷酸盐的吸收能力随NO2-浓度的增加而明显增加;浓度为20～60mg·L-1时,菌株对磷酸盐的吸收能力受NO2-浓度的影响较小;浓度达80mg·L-1时,菌株的除磷能力明显下降.不同碳源条件下厌氧培养的菌体细胞在缺氧条件下培养时对磷酸盐的去除能力大小顺序为:乙酸钠>柠檬酸钠>葡萄糖.菌株除磷的适宜pH值范围为7～9.温度为5℃时,菌株仍保持一定的除磷能力,随着温度的升高除磷能力逐渐增加,当温度达35℃时,除磷能力开始下降.菌株对盐度的耐受性在好氧培养时大于缺氧培养.缺氧培养48h,菌体细胞中磷的平均含量可达5.7%,而厌氧培养的菌体细胞中磷的最低含量为2.6%,表现出了明显的聚磷和释磷特性.研究结果可为低温富营养化水体或富氮磷污水的生物处理提供理论依据.

Identification and removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in wastewater treatment processes from coke production plants

Identification and removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated at two coke plants located in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province of China. Samples of raw coking wastewaters and wastewaters from subunits of a coke production plant were analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to provide a detailed chemical characterization of PAHs. The identification and characterization of PAH isomers was based on a positive match of mass spectral data of sample peaks with those for PAH isomers in mass spectra databases with electron impact ionization mass spectra and retention times of internal reference compounds. In total, 270 PAH compounds including numerous nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur heteroatomic derivatives were positively identified for the first time. Quantitative analysis of target PAHs revealed that total PAH concentrations in coking wastewaters were in the range of 98.5?±?8.9 to 216?±?20.2 μg/L, with 3-4-ring PAHs as dominant compounds. Calculation of daily PAH output from four plant subunits indicated that PAHs in the coking wastewater came mainly from ammonia stripping wastewater. Coking wastewater treatment processes played an important role in removing PAHs in coking wastewater, successfully removing 92 % of the target compounds. However, 69 weakly polar compounds, including PAH isomers, were still discharged in the final effluent, producing 8.8?±?2.7 to 31.9?±?6.8 g/day of PAHs with potential toxicity to environmental waters. The study of coking wastewater herein proposed can be used to better predict improvement of coke production facilities and treatment conditions according to the identification and removal of PAHs in the coke plant as well as to assess risks associated with continuous discharge of these contaminants to receiving waters.     

焦化废水缓冲体系的存在证明与集水调节池中水质结构调控

采用FeSO4对焦化废水原水进行pH调节,发现焦化废水原水中存在酸碱缓冲体系,具有很强的酸碱缓冲能力.焦化废水原水pH值约为9.6时,HCO3-、CN-、HS-、S2-、NH3、C6H5O-和胺类等以共轭碱的形式存在,对应的缓冲容量较高;随着pH的降低,共轭碱所占比例逐渐减少,对应的弱酸分布分数逐渐增多,缓冲容量逐渐减小;当pH调节至中性时,pH与pKa值接近,共轭碱与弱酸的分布分数近似相等,废水的缓冲容量有升高的趋势.在调节pH的过程中,由于FeSO4的水解、沉淀与络合作用,在投加量为2.0 g.L-1,反应时间15 min时,焦化废水中的氰化物、硫化物、油分及COD的去除量分别为1.5 mg CN-.g-1、27.3 mg S2-.g-1、15 mg总油.g-1及504 mg COD.g-1,pH影响各种污染物的形态分布而实现水质结构的调控.
