二甲基硅油的环境行为与生态效应研究进展

二甲基硅油(polydimethylsiloxane,PDMS)广泛应用于工业产品、医药保健品和个人护理品中.PDMS在污水处理过程中几乎不被生物降解,主要随剩余污泥排放进入环境,仅有少量PDMS吸附在悬浮固体或污泥颗粒表面随污水排放进入水体和沉积物中.现有研究表明,PDMS在沉积物中较难迁移和降解;而在不同类型土壤中均可以降解.PDMS对水生态系统风险较低,对底栖生物的急性毒性也不明显;在土壤环境中,PDMS及其降解产物对土壤微生物、土壤动物及农作物的生长和活动没有显著的影响.根据目前为数不多的研究,PDMS及其降解产物在各种环境中的生态毒性都较小,但随着PDMS产量和使用量的快速增长,其在环境中的含量呈快速上升趋势,有必要进一步明确PDMS对环境的潜在威胁.     

畜禽养殖环境中抗生素抗性基因污染的研究进展

畜禽养殖中抗生素不当使用导致的抗生素抗性基因(ARGs)污染问题日益严重,引起了国际社会的广泛关注。养殖环境中的ARGs不但可通过吸附、解吸、迁移等途径发生跨介质扩散,也可通过水平基因转移(HGT)使耐药性跨菌属传播,甚至通过食物链传递给人类,对公众健康造成潜在威胁。然而,目前缺少以大健康视角总结分析畜禽养殖环境ARGs赋存特征、关键环境过程和阻控技术的研究,导致对ARGs传播风险的评估和污染阻控对策的制定难以有效开展。本文在分析不同国家、畜种、环境介质中ARGs污染水平差异的基础上,阐述了ARGs在畜禽养殖环境中的关键环境过程和主要影响因素,重点论述了当前畜禽养殖业ARGs的污染阻控技术,最后结合大健康的方法理念,指出了目前研究存在的不足和亟需加强的方面,尤其强调了明确ARGs时空演变规律和环境过程机制、开发绿色高效的污染阻控技术的重要性与紧迫性,以期为畜禽养殖环境中ARGs健康风险评估和污染阻控技术的开发提供理论依据。

实验选取鸡粪和猪粪进行好氧堆肥发酵,研究畜禽粪便腐熟过程中酶活性和微生物的变化趋势以及相互联系。结果表明:过氧化氢酶活性和纤维素酶活性在堆肥初期较高,随后迅速降低,最终过氧化氢酶维持在9~12ml/g之间,纤维素酶维持在12.37~15.07mg/(kg·h)之间,而脲酶活性变化趋势为\"升高-降低-升高\"。细菌数量变化趋势为\"低-高-低\";放线菌为\"高-低\";真菌为\"高-低-高\"。通过相关分析发现,放线菌可能是影响堆肥中过氧化氢酶和纤维素酶的关键因素。鸡粪中放线菌与过氧化氢酶呈极显著正相关;猪粪中放线菌与过氧化氢酶和纤维素酶呈显著正相关;鸡粪+猪粪中放线菌与过氧化氢酶和纤维素酶呈极显著正相关。     

Some Factors Causing Variability in 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane Concentrations in Soil

Relative to nematicides with greater fuming capabilities, 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) moved nonuniformly through soil. DBCP concentrations in soil were reduced by low soil temperature and the presence of lime or roots within the soil profile, Applications by either water or chisel injection provided DBCP movement to 120 cm and below. Concentrations were least persistent in the upper 15 cm of the field surface and in one situation where application was not followed by irrigation. Values for Henry''s Constant are reported for DBCP at a range of solution temperatures. Certain advantages and disadvantages of soil atmosphere sampling of DBCP are discussed.     

Effects of biochar amendment on the sorption and degradation of atrazine in different soils

ABSTRACT

Sugarcane top-derived biochar was added to an alluvial soil, a moist soil and a paddy soil at the rate of 0.2% and 0.5% (w/w). After the addition of 0.2% and 0.5% biochar, the sorption coefficients (K_d) of atrazine (Ce = 10 mg L^?1) were increased by 26.97% and 79.58%, respectively, in the moist soil with a low level of total organic carbon (TOC), while it increased by 31.43% and 60.06%, respectively, in the paddy soil with a high TOC content. The half-time persistence values of atrazine in the alluvial soil, moist soil and paddy soil were 28.18, 23.74 and 39.84 d, respectively. In the 0.2% biochar amended soils, the corresponding half-times of atrazine for the alluvial soil, moist soil and paddy soil were extended by 10.33, 11.81 and 1.42 d, and they were prolonged by 16.83, 17.52 and 14.74 d, respectively, in the 0.5% biochar amended soils. Atrazine degradation products (deisopropylatrazine and desethylatrazine) decreased after they accumulated to 3.2 and 1 mg kg^?1, respectively. Generally, increasing sorption was accompanied by decreasing degradation of atrazine which is found in biochar-amended soils.     

类固醇雌激素在土壤-植物体系中的迁移转化及其毒理效应

类固醇雌激素(steroidal estrogens, SEs)作为典型的内分泌干扰物,在环境介质中被广泛检出,其进入生物体后可模拟细胞内源性激素作用对生物体生长、发育、生殖等产生不利影响,因此越来越引起关注。目前关于SEs的研究报道多集中于粪便、土壤、水体等介质中的检出及环境行为,以及SEs在水生生物体内的迁移和转化,其累积效应及其机制研究较为系统和全面。相较而言,SEs在土壤-植物体系中的迁移累积报道较少,但是对于掌握农田系统中SEs迁移转化的需求更为迫切。结合现有的国内外相关研究,总结了SEs在土壤-植物体系中的吸收累积和迁移转化行为特征,概述了植物吸收代谢SEs的影响因素以及SEs对植物生长发育的毒理效应。目前针对SEs的植物体吸收大多数仍基于室内模拟实验,对于其在土壤-植物多相态体系中迁移转化机理尚不清楚。因此,对今后的研究方向提出以下几点建议:(1)除室内模拟实验外,对实际土壤-植物系统中的研究更具价值,特别是SEs土壤-土壤水-植物多相态体系中的迁移转化等过程;(2)应结合SEs的来源,探究畜禽粪便、城市污泥及污水等不同源SEs对植物吸收、累积污染物的影响及污染风险;(3)加强对农作物体内SEs残留的监测和风险评估,制定SEs农作物检出及人体摄入的相关标准。     

Sorption of Methyl tert -Butyl Ether (MTBE) and tert -Butyl Alcohol (TBA) to Hyporheic Zone Soils

Soil water distribution coefficients (K _d ) for methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and its primary biodegradation intermediate tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) were determined for seven hyporheic zone soils ranging from 1 to 7% in organic carbon. Samples were collected in the area of the Spring Creek hyporheic zone in Ronan, Montana. Values for K _d ranged from 1.5 to 8.7 L kg^?1 for MTBE and from 0.15 to 0.41 L kg^?1 for TBA, and were highly correlated to the organic carbon content of the solids. However, for TBA the use of non-linear K _F values is more appropriate based on the results obtained, and the value of K _OC is calculated based on linear K _d transformation of the data. Distribution coefficients normalized to the fraction of organic carbon (log K _OC ) for MTBE and TBA were determined to be 2.13 ± 0.060 and 0.762 ± 0.088, respectively.     

Repeated inoculation as a strategy for the remediation of low concentrations of phenanthrene in soil

Phenanthrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, becomes increasingly unavailable to microorganisms for degradation as it ages in soil. Consequently, many bioaugmentation efforts to remediate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil have failed. We studied theeffect of repeatedly inoculating a soil with a phenanthrene-degrading Arthrobacter sp. on the mineralization kinetics of low concentrations of phenanthrene. After the first inoculation, the initial mineralization rate of 50 ng/g phenanthrene declined in a biphasicexponential pattern. By three hundred hours after inoculation, there was no difference in mineralization rates between the inoculated and uninoculated treatments even though a large fraction of the phenanthrene had not yet been mineralized. A second and third inoculation significantly increased the mineralization rate, suggesting that, though themineralization rate declined, phenanthrene remained bioavailable. Restirring the soil, without inoculation, did not produce similar increases in mineralization rates, suggesting absence of contact between cells and phenanthrene on a larger spatial scale (>mm) is not the cause of the mineralization decline. Bacteria inoculated into soil 280 hours beforethe phenanthrene was added could not maintain phenanthrene degradation activity. We suggest sorption lowered bioavailability of phenanthrene below an induction threshold concentration for metabolic activity of phenanthrene-degrading bacteria.     

Copper flotation waste from KGHM as potential sorbent for heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions

Sorption affinity of copper flotation waste from KGHM toward Cd(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), and Pb(II) ions was investigated in this work. Batch sorption studies, using single-element synthetic aqueous solutions at various pH (2–12), contact time (10–300 min), initial concentration (100–5000 mg dm^?3; 1–100 mg dm^?3 for Cd(II)) and adsorbent dose (25–200 g dm^?3), were performed. Bonding strength of adsorbed metals was tested from the degree of desorption. The maximum metal removal was observed at pH 5–8, ≥120 min reaction time, and 25 g dm^?3 adsorbent dose. Maximum sorption capacities of studied material were 41.6, 58.8, and 83.8 mg g^?1 for Cr(III), Cu(II), and Pb(II), respectively, for 5000 mg dm^?3 initial concentration, and 0.86 mg g^?1 for Cd(II) for initial concentration of 50 mg dm^?3. Sorption isotherms were very well fitted to Langmuir (Cd, Cr, Pb) and Freundlich (Cu) models. Sorption kinetics was nearly ideally fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Desorption studies showed that most of Cr(III) (98.5%) and Pb(II) (67.3%) ions remained bound to the surface, indicating that the chemisorption dominated as a controlling process. On the other hand, mostly desorbed were Cd(II) (98.5%) and Cu(II) (90.3%) ions, which indicated that processes like physisorption or precipitation were prevailing.     

Accelerated Transformation and Binding of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene in Rhizosphere Soil

Enhanced microbial activity and xenobiotic transformations take place in the rhizosphere. Degradation and binding of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) were determined in two rhizosphere soils (RS) and compared to respective unplanted control soils (CS). The rhizosphere soils were obtained after growing corn for 70 d in soils containing 2.8% (Soil A) or 5.9% (Soil B) organic matter. Aerobically agitated soil slurries (3:1, solution/soil) were prepared from RS and CS and amended with 75 mg TNT L^-1 (¹⁴C-labeled). TNT degraded more rapidly and formed more un-extractable bound residue in RS than in CS. In Soil A, total extractable TNT decreased from 225 to 1.0 mg kg^-1 in RS, whereas 11 mg kg^-1 remained in CS after 15 d. Unextractable bound ¹⁴C residues accounted for 40% of the added ¹⁴C-TNT in RS and 28% in CS. The smaller differences in Soil B were attributed partially to the higher organic matter content. The predominant TNT degradation products were monoaminodinitrotoluenes (ADNT), which accumulated and disappeared more rapidly in RS than in CS, and hydroxylaminodinitrotoluenes (HADNT). When sterilized by γ-irradiation, no significant differences between RS and CS were observed in TNT loss or bound residue formation. More rapid TNT degradation and enhanced bound residue formation in the unsterilized RS was attributed to micro-bial-facilitated production and transformation of HADNT and ADNT, which are potential precursors to bound residue formation. If plants can be established on TNT-contaminated soil, these results indicate that the rhizosphere can accelerate reductive transformation of TNT and promote bound residue formation.
