三峡库区重金属的生物富集、生物放大及其生物因子的影响

三峡水库于2010年10月蓄水到最大水位(175 m),为揭示最大水位蓄水对库区典型水域重金属污染可能存在的影响于2011年7月至2012年8月研究了三峡库区水生生物体内汞(Hg)、镉(Cd)、铅(Pb)的含量水平及其沿着水体食物链可能存在的生物放大现象,并分析水体无脊椎动物、鱼类组织的重金属含量与生物因子(体长、体重、食性、栖息水层、碳源、营养级)之间的关系.结果表明,3种重金属浓度的最大值均未超过我国水产品食用安全标准,Hg浓度比库区蓄水前稍高,Cd和Pb浓度则低于蓄水前的水平.与国外水库相比,三峡库区重金属的浓度整体上偏低.鲤鱼Cd浓度与其体长、体重有显著的相关性,翘嘴鲌和鲇的Hg浓度与体长、体重显著性相关.整体上3种重金属的浓度与食性显著相关,与栖息水层之间的相关性并不显著,底栖生活鱼类的重金属浓度高于中上层鱼类.3种重金属的浓度与δ~(15)N值的回归分析结果显示,Hg浓度与δ~(15)N值之间表现出显著的相关性,但生物放大效率低于美国及加拿大等地水库的水平,这与三峡库区土壤中较低的有机碳含量有关.

葫芦岛地区汞在土壤-植物-昆虫系统中的生物地球化

通过研究葫芦岛地区土壤、植物及不同食性昆虫的汞含量.探讨了汞的生物地球化学迁移.结果表明,汞污染使植物汞含量增加,生物吸收程度大大提高·植物及昆虫灰分基汞含量均高于汞在地壳的克拉克值.不同食性昆虫灰分基汞含量存在显著性差异.表现出肉食性>杂食性>植食性的规律.汞能够沿着食物链由植食性昆虫向肉食性昆虫进行传递,土壤-植物、植物-植食性昆虫、植食性昆虫-肉食性昆虫系统中,汞的富集倍数分别为(1～n)x10-1、(1～n)×10、(1～n)的水平,土壤汞污染可以通过食物链传递造成昆虫体内汞的富集.     

乌江中上游鱼体含汞量的研究

以乌江中上游设置的4个采样点所采集的4种底栖性鱼类为材料,进行取样测试,研究了鱼体含汞量差异。结果表明,乌江中上游4个样点的水域底泥含汞量存在显著差异,由此造成4种底栖性鱼类肌肉含汞量在不同样点之间存在极显著性差异。其中乌江镇4种底栖性鱼类肌肉含汞量显著高于六圭河、洪家渡及六广的同种类鱼体的含汞量。在同一样点内的4种底栖性鱼类肌肉含汞量也存在明显差异,其趋势为鲤＜黑尾＜鲇＜黄颡鱼。4种底栖性鱼类肌肉含汞量与体重存在极显著相关性,且同种鱼类在不同样点中汞在鱼体内的积累与它所处的食物链营养级是相一致的,但单位体重含汞量却有明显差异,同时鱼体含汞量随体重的增加而增大     

三峡库区蓄水初期大宁河重金属食物链放大特征研究

三峡库区蓄水后重金属在库区沉积物中累积,为了解由此带来的鱼类重金属富集放大风险,于2012年3月以库区支流大宁河为例,采集16种代表性鱼类,利用稳定同位素技术对鱼类间营养关系和Cr、Ni、Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd、As和Hg等重金属元素在食物链中的生物放大情况进行了研究.结果表明,大部分重金属在鱼体中处于较低水平,但在不同种类鱼体中含量差异显著.鱼体样品δ13C与鱼类生活水层关系密切,分布范围为-22.80‰~-28.97‰,水体上层鱼类δ13C值较低,而水体底层鱼类δ13C值较高;而δ15N受鱼类食性影响明显,范围为6.41‰~13.88‰.在食物链的传递过程中,鱼体Hg浓度随营养等级的升高而显著增大,但放大效率较低.除Hg外的金属元素与δ15N的关系均不显著,未出现明显生物放大.但小个体鱼类体内金属含量较高,存在潜在污染风险.     

鄱阳湖河湖交错区鱼类重金属含量特征及健康风险评估

河湖交错区是流域重金属污染物进入湖泊的主要通道,也是重金属富集的主要场所.本文通过在鄱阳湖河湖交错区采集10种114尾大型经济鱼类,从组织、体长体重、食性、栖息水层、区域等多个方面分析鱼类重金属Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Cd和Pb的含量特征及差异,识别影响鄱阳湖鱼类重金属含量水平的关键因素,评估居民摄取鱼类重金属的潜在健康风险.结果表明,鄱阳湖不同鱼类体内Zn的含量最高,而Cd和Pb的含量最低,鱼鳃是Mn和Ni的主要富集组织,肝脏是Cu和Cd的主要富集组织;体长体重与肌肉中Cr、Mn、Ni、Zn、Cd和Pb含量表现为显著的负相关关系;杂食性鱼类肌肉中Cu、Zn和Cd的含量最高,而Co在草食性鱼类肌肉中的含量最高;鱼类不同生活水层对肌肉中Cr、Mn、Zn和Co含量的影响较为显著;除Cd外,不同区域对鱼类重金属含量的影响并不显著.利用RDA排序分析结果显示,体长和食性是影响鄱阳湖鱼类重金属含量水平的关键因素.健康风险评估结果表明,不论是成人还是儿童,复合目标危险系数（TTHQ）均小于1,表明鄱阳湖鱼类重金属的富集不会对人群食用产生潜在危害.研究结果可为鄱阳湖水生态安全、水生生物多样性保护及食品安全评估提供科学依据和理论支撑.     

汞在小浪底水库的赋存形态及其时空变化

为了解小浪底水库汞的赋存状况,采用冷原子荧光光谱法测定了小浪底水库水体、表层沉积物、沉积物间隙水以及鱼类肌肉样品中的总汞,采用乙基化衍生-气相色谱-原子荧光法测定了上述样品中的甲基汞,进而分析了小浪底水库鱼体中汞的富集状况.结果表明,小浪底水库水体中丰、枯水期总汞浓度分别为0.71~1.42 ng·L-1和0.90~2.49 ng·L-1,均符合国家地表水环境质量标准(GB 3838-2002)一类水汞浓度标准限值,水样中未检出甲基汞.丰、枯水期沉积物中总汞浓度分别为51.74~90.42 ng·g-1和95.66~172.52 ng·g-1,甲基汞浓度分别为0.09~0.26 ng·g-1和0.18~0.39 ng·g-1,甲基汞浓度较低,这可能与水体底层溶解氧浓度较高以及沉积物中有机碳浓度较低有关.丰、枯水期沉积物间隙水总汞浓度分别为4.27~9.49 ng·L-1和5.46~41.04 ng·L-1,甲基汞浓度分别为0.09~0.99 ng·L-1和0.07~1.01 ng·L-1,间隙水中总汞和甲基汞浓度明显高于上覆水体,与水体间存在汞浓度梯度,可能存在从沉积物间隙水向水体中的扩散.鱼体肌肉总汞浓度在43.47~304.98 ng·g-1之间,甲基汞浓度为10.77~265.23 ng·g-1,甲基汞低于食品安全国家标准规定的污染物限量(GB 2762-2012)(非肉食性鱼500 ng·g-1和肉食性鱼1 000 ng·g-1).水库鱼体总汞的生物富集系数分别为鳙鱼1.3×105,梭鱼9.3×104,鲫鱼4.7×104,白条5.0×104,黄颡鱼1.7×105,弓鱼3.9×104.     

海河干流水产品汞污染特征及摄入风险评估

通过现场实地采样和实验测定分析了天津市海河干流水产品中汞含量水平及食用人群的暴露风险.结果表明,海河淡水水产品中甲基汞和总汞的含量(以湿重计)分别为42.51 ng·g~(-1)和77.31 ng·g~(-1),甲基汞是水生生物中汞的最主要存在形式,且与鱼体中总汞含量水平显著相关.鱼体在不同器官中和不同养殖方式下的汞含量水平差异显著.海河淡水鱼类和底栖动物的甲基汞富集系数(BCF)分别为1.00×105m L·g~(-1)和4.23×104m L·g~(-1),与总汞相比,甲基汞具有更强的生物富集特性.海河淡水生物生物链中的甲基汞和总汞营养级放大系数分别为1.38和1.36.水产品中的甲基汞和总汞含量最大允许含量均低于我国国家标准限定值,但同时应该注意,以海河淡水野生鱼类为食的儿童,汞摄入风险相对较高,其总汞和甲基汞摄入量分别达到154.07 ng·(kg·d)~(-1)和81.11 ng·(kg·d)~(-1).     

深圳大鹏湾海域表层沉积物和生物体中多环芳烃残留及其风险评价

为了研究深圳大鹏湾海域沉积物和生物体中多环芳烃的污染状况,2011年10月在大鹏湾采集表层沉积物及鱼类、虾类和贝类等生物样品,采用气相色谱-质谱法(GC-MS)分析了16种优先控制多环芳烃(PAHs)的含量.结果表明,大鹏湾海域表层沉积物和生物样品中PAHs总量范围分别为216.56~1 314.92 ng·g-1(干重,下同)和70.88~251.90 ng·g-1(湿重,下同);生物样品按平均含量计,鱼类最高(171.52 ng·g-1),贝类次之(134.75 ng·g-1),虾类最低(123.35 ng·g-1).与全球其他海域相比,大鹏湾海域表层沉积物和生物体PAHs污染处于中等水平.沉积物中PAHs的组成以4环为主,来源分析表明该海域PAHs污染主要来源于化石燃料燃烧源和石油污染源的共同输入.生物体中PAHs主要为2~3环PAHs,这与其生活习性和污染物的生物可利用性等因素有关.风险评价表明,大鹏湾表层沉积物中的PAHs在一定程度上可能会对该海域生物产生不利影响;生物样品PAHs的苯并(a)芘等效浓度值相对较高,长期食用这些水产品可能会有潜在的健康风险.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.
