近百年来新疆博斯腾湖多环芳烃的组成及变化特征

本研究分析了新疆博斯腾湖沉积岩芯中16种多环芳烃(PAHs)的垂直分布情况,并对其来源和生态风险进行了初步评估.结果表明,沉积岩芯中总PAHs的变化范围为37.5~184.5 ng·g-1,其中主要成分为萘和菲.近百年来,在20世纪50年代前后,沉积物中PAHs以及各主要组份出现明显变化.20世纪50年代以前,总PAHs和各组分变化相对稳定,并以低分子量PAHs组成为主.20世纪50年代后,高分子量PAHs开始出现并呈现波动上升,尤其是20世纪90年代以来,总PAHs及各组分都出现明显增加,至表层达到峰值,表明湖泊流域除了受人类低温燃烧排放影响外,近年来受工业和机动车尾气等高温燃烧释放的PAHs影响也明显增加.但通过风险评估表明,博斯腾湖中PAHs不会造成生态风险.

Over One Hundred Year Sediment Record of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Lake Bosten, Xinjiang

The vertical distributions of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated from a sediment core in the Lake Bosten, Xinjiang. Meanwhile, the possible source and risk assessment of PAHs in Lake Bosten were also discussed. The total PAHs concentration in the sediment core ranged from 37.5 ng ·g^-1 to 184.5 ng ·g^-1, and Naphthalene and Phenanthrene were the dominant compounds throughout the core. Over the one hundred year, the vertical profile of PAHs underwent significant changes around 1950s. The vertical distributions of PAHs had little change and low molecular weight PAHs were dominant PAHs before 1950s. Since then, the high molecular weight PAHs appeared and increased with fluctuations. A sharp increase in PAHs level and individuals was observed especially after 1990s and a maximum was found in the surface sediment. The results suggested PAHs in Lake Bosten were from the local sources, which were dominated by the low temperature combustion. Besides, the abundance of PAHs from high temperature combustion processes, such as combustion of industrial coal and vehicle emission, increased significantly in recent years. However, based on the results of risk assessment, the PAHs may not induce adverse biological effects on the aquatic ecosystem in Lake Bosten.
