节肢动物体内的总汞和甲基汞含量研究

分析了汞污染区河流沿岸草本植物及节肢动物样品中的汞含量.结果表明,节肢动物飞蝗、中华蚱蜢总汞含量分别为0 .032～0 .402 mg·kg^-1、0 .023～0 .362 mg·kg^-1,高于非污染区1个数量级.飞蝗、中华蚱蜢甲基汞含量分别为0 .003～0 .031mg·kg^-1、0 .004～0 .015 mg·kg^-1,占总汞比例分别为3 .5%～49 .7%和2 .0%～44 .4%.飞蝗、中华蚱蜢体内（一级消费者）汞含量低于其食物草本植物,与未受污染地区不同;螳螂体内（二级消费者）汞明显累积.飞蝗体内总汞含量随着个体长度增长呈下降的趋势,在中华蚱蜢体内则先增长后下降,甲基汞随着个体长度增长呈上升趋势;节肢动物个体不同部位中汞含量明显不同,腹>胸>头.节肢动物体内汞和甲基汞可能导致野生鸟类、家禽、两栖类生态风险.

Total and Methyl Mercury Contents in Arthropods

We researched mercury contents in plants and arthropods collected from the river banks in mercury polluted areas. The results show that total mercury (T-Hg) and methyl mercury (Me-Hg) in Locusta migratoria manilensis and Acrida chinensis are 0.032 - 0.402 mg x kg(-1), 0.023 - 0.362 mg x kg(-1) and 0.003 - 0.031 mg x kg(-1), 0.004 - 0.015 mg x kg(-1) while the proportion of Me-Hg to T-Hg are 3.5% - 49.7% and 2.0% - 44.4%. T-Hg in arthropods is higher than that a magnitude in non-polluted areas. As primary consumers, mercury contents in Locusta migratoria manilensis and Acrida chinensis are lower than plants they eat. That is not consistent with the non-polluted areas. Paratenodera sinensis is the second consumer and there is an obvious mercury accumulation in it. For Locusta migratoria manilensis, T-Hg decreased with the body length while for Acrida chinensis that increased following a decreasing. But Me-Hg in both increased with body length. Mercury contents in tissues of arthropods are significantly different. The order is abdomen > thorax > head. Mercury and methyl mercury contents in arthropods would lead wild birds, fowls and amphibians in the ecologic risk condition.
