用PFU微型生物群落监测技术评价化工废水的静态毒性

化工废水的排放是导致水环境毒物污染的重要来源,以原生动物为靶生物的微型生物群落监测——PFU法因能快速而真实地评价水体受污染程度而被广泛应用.盐城沿海化工园区是至今江苏省环保部门批准建设的苏北地区规模最大的以发展精细化工和医药化工为主导的专业园区,以该园区附近清洁水源中的原生动物为种源,用PFU法评价该园区化工废水的静态毒性.结果表明,原生动物群落对化工废水效应浓度(EC)变化非常敏感.在低的化工废水EC下,原生动物群落群集的物种多样性指数和群集种类均随毒性时间的延长而快速增加,群集速度也较快;随着化工废水EC的增加,原生动物群落群集的物种多样性指数随毒性时间的延长而增加缓慢甚至下降,群集种类则明显减少,群集速度也减缓,说明化工废水EC有较强的生物胁迫效应.在反映原生动物群集过程的3个参数Seq、G和T90％中,Seq与化工废水EC均呈负相关,而G随化工废水EC增加先呈负相关后呈正相关.根据其回归方程Seq=-0.141 EC+19.05 (R2=0.941,P＜0.01)推算出该化工废水的效应浓度EC5、EC20和EC50分别为7.1％、27.3％和67.7％.最终确定盐城沿海化工园区化工废水对其附近清洁水源原生动物群落的安全浓度为7.1％,最大允许浓度为27.3％.盐城沿海化工园区化工废水必须处理至其毒性削减72.7％以上才能排放.     

水生生物毒性试验在工业废水监测和管理上的应用

本文对南京市13个行业25家工厂废水,进行了水生生物（鱼、蚤、藻）急性、亚急性和慢性毒性试验研究。急性毒性试验结果表明：LC50（或EC50）值能反映废水的综合毒性程度,依据LC50值,急性毒性单位以及年排放效应单位,建立了工业废水毒性强度分级标准,确定了优先监测和控制的工业放心水类型;根据废水处理前后LC50（或EC50）值的变化,可监控废水处理设施处理效果,亚急性和慢性毒性试验确定了A1厂、A5厂、B1厂废水对大型蚤的慢性毒性阈限值分别为0．0125％－0．025％、0．023％－0．056％及0．0056％－0．032％,应用系数（AF）分别为0．0403－0．0806,0．0627－0．1099、0．0156－0．0889。本文还探讨了水生生物毒性试验在工业废水监督、管理。以及污染物总量控制和排污许可证制度实施方面的应用途径。     

抚顺市工业废水生物毒性评价

潜在毒性效应指数(PEEP)综合了多种生物测试及生态毒性测试结果,是一种新的评价和比较工业废水潜在毒性的指标,是理化分析评价法的一个重要补充。用蚕豆微核试验、发光细菌急性毒性试验、鱼类急性毒性试验逐一单项分析评价了抚顺市10家典型企业11个排水口废水的生物毒性。结果表明,抚顺工业废水大部分处于中度污染,农药厂、啤酒厂废水的毒性较高,而且这些企业的污水量相对少,迫切需要治理。并采用PEEP综合分析了废水的生物毒性程度,根据控制排放标准规定,PEEP>6时,要对企业排放废水实施控制措施。抚顺市10家典型污染企业废水PEEP均大于6,说明这10家企业都需要进一步控制废水排放及污染问题。

Commentary on the Role of Maternal Toxicity on Developmental Toxicity

Maternal mammalian toxicity impacts prenatal development, with general systemic maternal toxicity, from reduced weight gain to morbidity, causative for reduced fetal weights/litter and increased fetal variations (especially skeletal)/litter, but not, in the author's opinion, for increased fetal malformations, reduced litter sizes or full litter losses. Increased fetal malformations are likely due to exposure to specific chemicals which alter specific maternal functions at critical point(s) in pregnancy, typically exaggerated effects from higher doses by drugs under development with known, desired pharmacological effects. Malformations can also be from genetic/epigenetic alterations, specific altered proteins, molecular pathways, etc. Full litter losses are triggered by the mother and are rare in rats. Information to inform maternal (and developmental) toxicity includes ovarian corpora lutea counts, uterine implantation profile, degree of litter reduction (if present), timing and extent of maternal toxicity relative to those of adverse embryofetal effects, etc. The view of maternal toxicity as confounding results in in vivo developmental toxicity studies, worldwide concerns about increased research animal usage, increasing time, labor, costs, and new software and hardware sophistication all drive the interest in development, validation, and performance of in vitro/in silico assays. These assays are fast, inexpensive, responsive to animal use concerns and amenable to mechanistic questions. The strength of these in vitro/in silico assays is considered by many to be the absence of the maternal organism/placenta. These assays inform mechanism and hazard, but NOT risk. The Environmental Protection Agency currently estimates that these new assays are approximately 70% accurate versus the whole animal tests.     

Compromised Chemical Toxicity in Year-Weathered Soils: Implications for Compromised Toxicity Factors

With contaminated terrestrial sites always being multiple decades old before they first submit to health risk assessments for humans and ecological receptors, there is great opportunity for soils to elicit markedly lesser chemical toxicity than would be expected. Soil aging and weathering foster various physico-chemical processes that reduce the toxic potency or bioavailability of sequestered chemicals. Because only brand new and unadulterated chemicals with seemingly maximum potencies are used in animal dosing that supports toxicity factor derivation, measured chemical concentrations in soil can be misleading, producing exaggerated risk and hazard outcomes. We sought to determine the extent to which toxicity reduction occurs in experimentally amended soils, working with large soil volumes exposed to the unimpeded ambient condition for a calendar year. A broad toxicity testing matrix for two chemicals (i.e., multiple test species, endpoints, effect level concentrations, and soil types), found species’ responses in contaminated soils to be indistinguishable from those in control soil 80% and 98% of the time for the inorganic and organic compounds used, respectively; a case in point was lead with a soil concentration of 11,000 mg/kg. The results suggest that incorporating a toxicity reduction term is an indispensable task when deriving toxicity factors.

Egg Selenium Concentrations as Predictors of Avian Toxicity

Aquatic birds are exposed to selenium through their diet by ingesting aquatic invertebrates that have accumulated selenium from water and the food chain. However, dietary composition is highly variable among species, over time, and across sites, making it difficult to provide accurate estimations of dietary exposure for particular species at specific locations. Selenium accumulates in the egg, resulting in embryo malformation, embryonic death, and decreased survival of juveniles. If the relationship between egg concentration and these reproductive parameters can be defined with sufficient certainty, then risk assessments can be performed through analysis of egg selenium concentrations. Other researchers have proposed egg toxicity thresholds that lead to conclusions of widespread selenium toxicoses in waterbirds. However, we believe these values are overly conservative and that it is unlikely that selenium is posing a significant risk to wild birds in areas where the current water quality criterion is being met. Through the use of simple statistical models (logit, probit, and Weibull functions) we are able to express mortality and teratogenicity relationships for mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) in such a manner that the risk manager can be presented with information about the probability of reduced duckling survival if mean egg selenium (MES) concentrations are known. Data analysis indicates that the two endpoints (mortality and teratogenesis) cannot be distinguished statistically. Commonly used effects thresholds (the EC₁₀ and EC₂₀) correspond to 16 and 21?mg/kg dw MES using the most sensitive endpoint, chick mortality. Both of these values are higher than the 6?mg/kg dw level proposed by Skorupa (1998) who based his estimate on field-observational data potentially confounded by other environmental stress factors. The mortality and teratogenicity endpoints presented here relate selenium exposure to risk to individuals within a population and do not provide information about the probability of selenium causing changes in population growth rates, either at the local or regional levels.

Species Differences in Developmental Toxicity of Epoxiconazole and Its Relevance to Humans

Epoxiconazole, a triazole‐based fungicide, was tested in toxicokinetic, prenatal and pre‐postnatal toxicity studies in guinea pigs, following oral (gavage) administration at several dose levels (high dose: 90 mg/kg body weight per day). Maternal toxicity was evidenced by slightly increased abortion rates and by histopathological changes in adrenal glands, suggesting maternal stress. No compound‐related increase in the incidence of malformations or variations was observed in the prenatal study. In the pre‐postnatal study, epoxiconazole did not adversely affect gestation length, parturition, or postnatal growth and development. Administration of epoxiconazole did not alter circulating estradiol levels. Histopathological examination of the placentas did not reveal compound‐related effects. The results in guinea pigs are strikingly different to those observed in pregnant rats, in which maternal estrogen depletion, pathological alteration of placentas, increased gestation length, late fetal death, and dystocia were observed after administration of epoxiconazole. In the studies reported here, analysis of maternal plasma concentrations and metabolism after administration of radiolabeled epoxiconazole demonstrated that the different results in rats and guinea pigs were not due to different exposures of the animals. A comprehensive comparison of hormonal regulation of pregnancy and birth in murid rodents and primates indicates that the effects on pregnancy and parturition observed in rats are not applicable to humans. In contrast, the pregnant guinea pig shares many similarities to pregnant humans regarding hormonal regulation and is therefore considered to be a suitable species for extrapolation of related effects to humans.
