发光细菌法快速监测和评价工业废水综合毒性

以汞、镉、铅、砷和六价铬的混合后对发光细菌的综合毒性为参照标准,对工业废水进行快速监测和毒性分级的研究,实验得出上述混合毒物与发光细菌的发光强度的相关关系是y＝40.9131-23.7200lnx,r-0.995。根据工业废水的相对发光强度,建议将工业废水划分为微毒,低毒、中等毒,高毒和剧毒五个毒性级别,并可根据上述线性关系,推算出有毒物质的浓度范围和相当于国家标准的倍数。应用此法对22份工业废水进行了实际测定与评价;还对四个企业工业废水处理前后的毒性进行了测定与毒性比较,结果表明处理后较处理前的毒性的毒性明显降低。     

斑马鱼胚胎发育技术在毒性评价中的应用

对斑马鱼（Brachydanio rerio)胚胎发育技术在环境科学领域的应用作一综述,斑马鱼胚胎毒性技术是各国际标准组织认可的标准毒性测定方法之一,属于致畸效应检验,该项技术成本低、易操作、灵敏度高,特别是具有可记录多项毒性指标的特点,并可以此判断污染物的致毒机理,斑马鱼胚胎发育过程受重金属影响较大,其中Cu的毒性最强,Hg次之,Cr最弱,有机农药中三苯基锡类（TPTA）的毒性最强,林丹次之;有机试剂中含卤素取代基和苯胺类毒性最大,这与其它毒性测定方法的结果完全一致,并表现出较高的灵敏度,特别是选用非致死性的指标,可以初步认定这对测定复合污染物毒性并分析毒物的致畸效应方面有很好的发展前景。     

FAPα酶激活式靶向抗肿瘤前药: Z-GP-Dox对斑马鱼的毒性评价

目的:考察新设计合成的一种FAPα酶激活式靶向抗肿瘤新药甘脯酰阿霉素(Z-GP-Dox)对斑马鱼的毒性作用。方法:以阿霉素作为对照,用不同浓度的Z-GP-Dox处理4月龄的成年斑马鱼及其受精后24h(24hpf)的胚胎,观测其死亡率,并通过显微镜观察Z-GP-Dox对斑马鱼胚胎发育的影响,从形态学和电生理学方面评价其对斑马鱼心脏的毒性作用。结果:Dox对照组的斑马鱼死亡率具有明显的浓度依赖性,而经酰化修饰的前药Z-GP-Dox处理组的斑马鱼死亡率相对较低。Dox可导致斑马鱼胚胎发育严重畸形,心脏功能受损;而相同浓度的前药Z-GP-Dox处理组的胚胎发育基本正常,幼鱼的心脏形态和心率与空白对照组差异不显著。然而,当Z-GP-Dox被FAPα酶解后,其毒性则明显增强,与Dox对照组的毒性相当。结论:与Dox相比,经结构改造的前药Z-GP-Dox对斑马鱼的毒性显著降低,且具有FAPα酶激活式靶向释放特性。     

夹竹桃叶乙醇提取物对斑马鱼的毒性评价

研究表明, 夹竹桃(Nerium indicum Mill.)及其提取物对多种害虫具有较强的毒杀作用, 已在害虫生物防治中显示出较大作用。为了合理开发夹竹桃植物, 需要进一步评价夹竹桃植物对水生生物的安全性和对动物的毒理学。文章利用索氏提取法提取夹竹桃叶乙醇粗提物, 并进一步用氯仿萃取浓缩、硅胶柱层析方法提取分离乙醇精提物, 经鉴定为强心甙组分。在此基础上, 委托浙江省医学科学院评价了乙醇粗提物对实验动物的毒理学, 并采用静态法评价了这二种提取物对斑马鱼(Brachydanio rerio)的急性毒性和慢性效应。结果表明: 夹竹桃叶乙醇粗提物的提取率为45%, 乙醇精提物(主要成分为强心甙组分)的提取率为0.25%。乙醇粗取物对大鼠经口和经皮毒性为低毒级, 对家兔皮肤和眼无刺激, 对豚鼠的致敏反应属弱致敏性。这说明夹竹桃叶乙醇粗提物对哺乳动物十分安全。在急性毒性试验中, 发现斑马鱼的死亡率与提取物处理浓度和处理时间均呈明显的正相关。处理浓度越大, 斑马鱼的死亡率越高; 同一浓度处理时间越长, 死亡率越高。用24 mg/L 乙醇粗提物处理6、12、24 和48h 的死亡率分别为26.67%、60%、91.11%和95.56%; 用0.5 mg/L乙醇精提物处理12、24、48、72 和96h 的死亡率分别为6.25%、33.33%、52.08%、54.17%和60.42%; 用24 mg/L 乙醇粗提物处理96h 或32 mg/L 处理48h, 或者用1 mg/L 乙醇精提物处理24h, 斑马鱼全部死亡。在慢性毒性试验中, 用3.33-10.0 mg/L 乙醇粗提物处理斑马鱼28d, 其死亡率为12%-20%。乙醇粗提物处理斑马鱼后, 急性毒性LC50=12.52 mg/L(药后96h)10 mg/L, 慢性毒性LC50=199.51 mg/L(药后28d); 乙醇精提物处理斑马鱼后, 急性毒性LC50=0.46 mg/L(药后96h)1 mg/L, 根据《化学农药环境安全评价试验准则》(1990)中农药对鱼类的毒性分级标准, 说明夹竹桃叶乙醇粗提物对斑马鱼的毒性属于低毒, 比较安全; 乙醇精提物对斑马鱼的毒性则为高毒, 十分不安全。

五氯酚对斑马鱼胚胎的毒性效应研究

采用斑马鱼胚胎发育技术,对环境激素类物质五氯酚的毒性进行测定,结果表明,五氯酚(PCP)对胚胎的特定作用时间段是卵产出至发育6 h之内;PCP对胚胎发育有明显的抑制作用,会造成胚胎发育的畸形或死亡,不同时间染毒产生的可观察毒理学终点各异;随着PCP对发育48 h斑马鱼胚胎作用时间的减短,其致死效应敏感性降低,其中0 hpf组的LC0值最小,为70.8μg·L^-1,24hpf组LC0值最大,为831.8μg·L^-1;斑马鱼胚胎对孵化后0时染毒的PCP最为敏感,PCP对胚胎产生急性毒性效应的敏感指标:心胞囊肿、血液循环障碍、无心律＞孵化率降低＞停滞发育作用;斑马鱼胚胎最敏感的指标为48 h血液循环障碍和48 h半致死效应.     

迷迭香酸对硫酸铜致斑马鱼胚胎毒性的抑制作用

本文探讨硫酸铜(CuSO_4)对斑马鱼(Danio rerio)胚胎发育的毒性效应,使用迷迭香酸(RA)抑制CuSO_4对斑马鱼胚胎发育的毒性并探讨其作用机制。收集受精后1 h(1 hpf)的斑马鱼胚胎暴露于不同浓度的CuSO_4溶液,或含有不同浓度迷迭香酸的CuSO_4溶液,对照组培养在E3培养液中,观察胚胎死亡、孵化及畸形情况,计算胚胎死亡率、孵化率和畸形率;以活性氧(ROS)荧光探针DCFH-DA染色法检测迷迭香酸保护下胚胎的活性氧水平。对实验数据进行方差分析。结果显示:(1)CuSO_4浓度超过一定量时能诱导斑马鱼胚胎死亡和畸形,胚胎孵化率也降低。CuSO_4对96 hpf斑马鱼胚胎的半致死浓度(LC50)为7.7μmol/L,半致畸浓度(EC50)为1.9μmol/L。(2)在96 hpf,迷迭香酸与8μmol/L CuSO_4共同处理组斑马鱼胚胎的死亡率明显降低,孵化率升高。迷迭香酸与1.6μmol/LCuSO_4共同处理组斑马鱼胚胎的畸形率降低。(3)CuSO_4单独处理组的活性氧含量明显高于迷迭香酸与CuSO_4共同处理组和对照组。结果表明,CuSO_4暴露对斑马鱼胚胎发育的毒性效应可能与活性氧升高导致的氧化应激相关;迷迭香酸抑制CuSO_4对斑马鱼胚胎发育的毒性作用,可能与减少活性氧生成有关。

卡培他滨对非靶标生物斑马鱼胚胎的发育毒性研究

为评价抗肿瘤药物卡培他滨(CAP)对非靶标生物的毒性, 以斑马鱼胚胎为受试生物, 研究了CAP对斑马鱼胚胎的发育毒性及对其抗氧化酶系的影响。结果表明, 直接暴露于卡培他滨中, 造成斑马鱼胚胎死亡率和畸形率增加, 且其机能有所下降。当暴露浓度高于20 μg·L-1时, 处理后的斑马鱼胚胎死亡率和畸形率显著升高, 与对照组相比有极显著差异。CAP浓度为0.2 μg·L-1时, 超氧化物歧化酶 (SOD) 活性和过氧化氢酶 (CAT) 活性均显著升高, 表明机体遭受一定程度的氧化损伤; 当浓度高于20 μg·L-1时, SOD和CAT活性显著降低, 表明斑马鱼仔鱼所受氧化损伤超出其自我修复能力, 引发致死性伤害。本文从发育毒性及氧化应激着手, 探究了CAP对非靶标生物的潜在危害, 为其生态效应提供一定的科学依据。

Acute toxicity of copper, zinc and manganese in single and mixed salt solutions to juvenile longfin dace, Agosia chrysogaster

The acute toxicity of copper, zinc and manganese and copper-zinc and copper-manganese mixtures were determined for juvenile longfin dace, Agosia chrysogaster in hard water bioassays (mean=218 mg 1⁻¹ CaCO₃). Copper-zinc was the most lethal toxicant (96-h L.c.₅₀= 0.21 mg 1⁻¹ copper and 0.28 mg 1⁻¹ zinc) and exhibited a more than additive toxicity which was in contrast to the additive toxicity of copper-manganese mixtures (96-h L.c.₅₀= 0.45 mg 1⁻¹ copper and 64.0 mg 1⁻¹ manganese). The toxicity of copper (96-h L.c.₅₀= 0.86 mg 1⁻¹) and zinc (96-h L.c.₅₀= 0.79 mg 1⁻¹) to the fish was similar but both were considerably more lethal than manganese (96-h L.c.₅₀= 130 mg 1⁻¹).     

Toxicity of high salinity tannery wastewater and effects on constructed wetland plants

The toxicity of high salinity tannery wastewater produced after an activated sludge secondary treatment on the germination and seedling growth of Trifolium pratense, a species used as indicator in toxicity tests, was evaluated. Growth was inhibited by wastewater concentrations >25% and undiluted effluent caused a complete germination inhibition. Constructed wetlands (CWs) with Arundo donax or Sarcocornia fruticosa were envisaged to further polish this wastewater. Selection of plant species to use in CWs for industrial wastewater treatment is an important issue, since for a successful establishment they have to tolerate the often harsh wastewater composition. For that, the effects of this wastewater on the growth of Arundo and Sarcocornia were assessed in pot assays. Plants were subject to different wastewater contents (0/50/100%), and both were resilient to the imposed conditions. Arundo had higher growth rates and biomass than Sarcocornia and may therefore be the preferred species for use in CWs treating tannery wastewater. CWs planted with the above mentioned plants significantly decreased the toxicity of the wastewater, as effluent from the CWs outlet stimulated the growth of Trifolium at concentrations <50%, and seed germination and growth even occurred in undiluted effluent.     

邻苯二甲酸二甲酯(DMP)对海洋微藻的生态毒理研究

通过96h的急性毒性实验,研究了邻苯二甲酸二甲酯(DMP)对杜氏盐藻(Dunaliella salina)、绿色巴夫藻(Pavlova viridis)和三角褐指藻(Phaeodactylum tricornutum)三种海洋微藻的致毒效应,探讨了三种海洋微藻对DMP的耐受性及两者之间的相互作用。结果显示DMP对三种微藻的生长均有抑制作用,在DMP的处理浓度分别为0.1、10、40、80和200mg·L^-1时,与对照组相比,DMP生长抑制百分率分别为22.9～93.1%、42.1～82.2%和61.9～92.2%。DMP对对杜氏盐藻、绿色巴夫藻和三角褐指藻的EC₅₀值分别为103.3、43.9和0.12mg·L^-1。     

Hydrogenotrophic denitrification of synthetic aquaculture wastewater using membrane bioreactor

A hydrogenotrophic denitrification system was evaluated in removing nitrate from synthetic aquaculture wastewater for recirculation purposes. Two membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems, namely, aeration–denitrification system (ADS) and denitrification–aeration system (DAS) were studied with 50 mg/L of influent concentrations for both organic matter and nitrate nitrogen. The DAS achieved better removal efficiency of 91.4% total nitrogen (T-N) and denitrification rate of 363.7 mg/L.day at a HRT of 3 h compared to ADS. Further, there was no nitrite accumulation in the DAS effluent. The nitrite accumulation in ADS effluent was lesser when CO₂ was used as buffer rather than K₂HPO₄ and KH₂PO₄. Estimation of kinetic parameters of hydrogenotrophic bacteria indicated lesser sludge production compared to heterotrophic denitrification. In the DAS, membrane fouling was nonexistent in the aeration reactor that was used to produce the recirculating effluent. On the contrary, membrane fouling was observed in the denitrification reactor that supplied hydrogen to the mixed liquor. Thus, this study demonstrated DAS capability in maintaining the acceptable water quality appropriate for aquaculture, in which a closed recirculating system is typically used.     

The disruption of sodium balance in brook charr, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill), by manganese and iron

A primary toxic action of manganese to brook charr, Sulvelinusjonfinalis, at concentrations near or above the 96 h LC₅₀ was the disruption of sodium regulation. Body and plasma sodium concentrations of brook charr declined by 52 and 40%, respectively, during exposure to 10.9 mM manganese (in 250 PM CaCI), and all fish died within 36 h. Sodium balance was less severely affected by 2.7 and 5.5 mM manganese. An increase in the external calcium concentration from 0.05 to 1.0 mM raised the LC₅₀ for manganese from 4.9 to 5.8 mM, and a further increase to 2.5 mM calcium almost doubled it to 10.2 mM. An examination of stable manganese uptake by the gills revealed that accumulation was inversely correlated with body sodium concentration (r =−0.77). Radioactive J4Mn entered the bloodstream in low levels and accumulated in the liver. Thus manganese may have systemic effects as well as those attributable to surface binding on the gill. Studies of the mechanism ofdissolved iron toxicity were less conclusive, but it did not appear to involve extensive disruption of sodium balance. There was about a 15% drop in body sodium concentration when the trout were exposed for 48 h to the 96 h LC₅₀ level of iron, but plasma sodium was unaffected. Also, an iron concentration at twice the LC₅₀ did not escalate the loss of body sodium, and increasing the water calcium concentration did not raise the LC₅₀.     

Effects of water hardness and alkalinity on the toxicity of uranium to a tropical freshwater hydra (Hydra viridissima)

In tropical Australian freshwaters, uranium (U) is of potential ecotoxicological concern, largely as a consequence of mining activities. Although the toxicity of uranium to Australian freshwater biota is comprehensive, by world standards, few data are available on the effects of physicochemical variables, such as hardness, alkalinity, pH and organic matter, on uranium speciation and bioavailability. This study determined the individual effects of water hardness (6.6, 165 and 330 mg l^-1 as CaCO₃) and alkalinity (4.0 and 102 mg l^-1 as CaCO₃), at a constant pH (6.0), on the toxicity (96 h population growth) of uranium to Hydra viridissima (green hydra). A 50-fold increase in hardness (Ca and Mg concentration) resulted in a 92% (two-fold) decrease in the toxicity of uranium to H. viridissima [i.e . an increase in the EC₅₀ value and 95% confidence interval from 114 (107-121) to 219 (192-246) µg l^-1]. Conversely, at a constant hardness (165 mg l-1 as CaCO₃), the toxicity of uranium to H. viridissima was not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by a 25-fold increase in alkalinity (carbonate concentration) [i.e. EC₅₀ values of 177 (166-188) and 171 (150-192) µg l^-1 at 4.0 and 102 mg l^-1 as CaCO₃, respectively]. A knowledge of the relationship between water chemistry variables, including hardness and alkalinity, and uranium toxicity is useful for predicting the potential ecological detriment in aquatic systems, and can be used to relax national water quality guidelines on a site-specific basis.     

The toxicity of iron to brown trout and effects on the gills: a comparison of two grades of iron sulphate

The 96-h LC₅₀ on brown trout Salmo trutta of a commercial iron (III) sulphate liquor, used for treating reservoirs to reduce algal growth, was 28 mg total Fe l⁻¹ (0·05 mg soluble Fe l⁻¹). The 96-h LC₅₀ for analar grade iron (III) sulphate was 47 mg total Fe l⁻¹ (0·24 mg soluble Fe l⁻¹). Lethal and sublethal exposure to both grades of iron resulted in accumulation on the gill, which appears to be the main target for iron toxicity. Greater iron accumulation occurred during exposure to commercial iron sulphate liquor. Physical clogging of gills and gill damage was seen during lethal and sublethal exposure to iron. Gill tissue analysis showed no evidence of iron uptake into gill tissues during lethal or sublethal exposure to iron. Iron did not accumulate in plasma of fish exposed to iron compared to controls. Respiratory disruption due to physical clogging of the gills is suggested as a possible mechanism for iron toxicity.     

Effect of intermittent CO2 enrichment during nutrient starvation on tertiary treatment of wastewater by alginate-immobilized Scenedesmus bicellularis

A method of accelerating the removal of ammonium and phosphate by the unicellular microalga Scenedesmus bicellularis is presented for municipal tertiary wastewater treatment using immobilized cells to obtain a high quality of effluents. Microalgal cells grown in defined medium were harvested by centrifugation and stored at 4°C in the dark for 8 months before immobilization. The concentrated cell suspension was then immobilized in alginate films supported on polypropylene screens. Immobilized cells were incubated in a water-saturated air stream enriched with CO₂ at 750, 1,000, or 1,500 ppm for 3 h periods followed by 2 h periods without enrichment. The quantitative effects of these three CO₂ enrichments on nutrient uptake from secondary municipal wastewater effluent were compared to a control laboratory air at 320 ppm under the same conditions of illumination, photoperiod, and humidity. The exposure cycle of 48-h nutrient deprivation in air with CO₂ enrichment followed by 2 h of nutrient uptake from wastewater was repeated three times with a residual NH₄---N content dropping to 0% after 105 min for the 1,500 ppm CO₂ treatment and to 34% of the initial level after 120 min for the control treatment. Complete PO₄---P removal required more than 2 h. The chlorophyll a contents obtained with 1,000 and 1,500 ppm CO₂ enrichments were comparable. This study establishes that intermittent CO₂ enrichment during nutrient deprivation of immobilized microalgal cells in a water-saturated air stream may accelerate tertiary wastewater treatment.

铝胁迫对橡胶苗生理和叶绿素荧光特性的影响

热带酸性土壤中铝毒非常普遍,其对橡胶树生长的影响尚不清楚.采用盆栽砂培试验研究了铝离子对橡胶苗生理和叶绿素荧光特性的影响.结果表明:当铝浓度高于200 mmol·L^-1时,橡胶苗细胞质膜透性、叶片游离脯氨酸和可溶性糖含量显著提高,相对含水量、过氧化氢酶和过氧化物酶活性、叶片叶绿素a含量、叶绿素最大荧光、PSⅡ最大光化学效率、PSⅡ潜在活性、光化学淬灭系数、非光化学淬灭系数和光合电子传递速率显著降低;当铝离子浓度低于100 mmol·L^-1时,不同处理间橡胶苗生理和叶绿素荧光特性差异较小或不明显.说明橡胶树是较为耐铝的植物,铝离子对橡胶苗造成伤害的阈值在100～200 mmol·L^-1;超过这一浓度,会造成橡胶苗不可逆的伤害.
