富营养化水体生物净化效应的研究进展

水体富营养化治理已成为当今世界性难题,解决水体富营养化问题的关键是调控水生生态系统结构,使其恢复自然、健康和稳定的水生生态系统功能,提高水生生态系统的生物净化能力,水生高等植物及水生植被是水生生态系统中最重要的初级生产者,它们个体大、生长周期长、吸取和储存营养物质的能力强,保持和恢复一定数量的水生植物种群可抑制浮游植物的生长,提高系统的生物多样性,使水生生态系统结构更加稳定,水生动物在水生生态系统物质和能量循环中处于十分重要的地位,浮游动物和底栖动物可直接捕食浮游植物,控制浮游植物的数量;而改变鱼类种群结构可提高浮游动物的生物量,从而间接控制浮游植物的大量繁殖,达到治理水体富营养化的目的,我国的生物净化研究还处于起步阶段,今后在水生高等植物及水生植被生物净化的关键技术及优化水产养殖新模式技术研究方面有待提高,这将对我国水体富营养化治理及水体可持续利用有着重要的意义。

环境污染物对巨噬细胞的影响及生物监测意义

研究环境污染物亚硫酸盐和无机汞对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞的影响,探讨巨噬细胞作为生物监测指示物的意义。实验取小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞分别经Na_2SO_3和HgCl_2体外培养,光镜和电镜下观察细胞形态学改变,检测其NO产量,还原MTT能力和吞噬功能。结果显示,小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞染毒后,细胞形态均发生显著改变;NO浓度明显降低,还原MTT能力受抑制,吞噬功能明显减弱(p<0.05或p<0.01)。高浓度(10~(-4)mol/L)HgCl_2细胞毒性作用显著,可致巨噬细胞坏死。实验表明,Na_2SO_3和HgCl_2对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞具有明显损伤作用,进而直接影响巨噬细胞的非特异性防御功能。实验提示巨噬细胞可作为生物监测指示物,应用于环境污染的生物监测。

生物多样性监测是为确定与预期标准相一致或相背离的程度,而对生物多样性进行定期或不定期的监视,目前已成为生物多样性研究和保护的热点问题。生物多样性监测指标则是一些简化的生物或环境特征参数,说明生物多样性现状和变化趋势,以及人类活动压力对生物多样性的影响,以促进科学界、政府和公众间的沟通,提高生物多样性管理水平。近10年来,国际组织、政府机构和各国学者对生物多样性指标体系的构建进行了大量的探索工作,取得了很多进展,其中有些指标已经应用于实际监测项目。本文综述了生物多样性监测指标筛选的一般标准和指标体系构建的主要理论,梳理目前已提出或应用的主要生物多样性监测指标,以期为我国构建国家或区域尺度生物多样性监测指标体系提供参考。在此基础上分析提出：生物多样性概念的泛化、指标含义模糊以及知识和数据的缺乏是构建生物多样性监测指标的主要困难。我国未来的生物多样性监测指标体系构建需要关注以下两个方面：（1）紧密联系实际,构建适应性的监测指标体系,加强对典型生态系统区域的监测;（2）发展经济社会发展方面的指标,分析生物多样性变化的驱动力,为生物多样性保护和区域可持续发展提供科学依据。

Predicting carcinogenicity of petroleum distillation fractions using a modified Salmonella mutagenicity assay

The Ames Salmonella/microsomal activation mutagenesis assay has been modified to improve sensitivity and reproducibility to complex mixtures derived from the refining and processing of petroleum. Oil samples were dissolved in cyclohexane and subsequently extracted with dimethyl sulfoxide to produce aqueous compatible solutions which readily interact with tester bacteria. Also, the liver homogenate (S-9) and NADP cofactor concentrations were increased and hamster rather than rat liver S-9 was used. The initial slope of the dose response curve relating mutagenicity (revertants per plate) to the dose of extract added was used as an index of mutagenic activity, this slope was obtained through a computerized curve fitting procedure. The modified assay was used to rank 18 oil samples for mutagenic activity, this ranking correlates highly (r = 0.92) with potency rankings of the same samples previously determined from dermal carcinogenicity bioassays. Sensitivity and reproducibility of the assay are sufficient to permit routine use for detecting potential carcinogenic activity of individual refinery streams and blends which contain components boiling above 500°F.Abbreviations API American Petroleum Institute - B[a]P benzo[a]pyrene - DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide - NADP nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate - PAH polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - S-9 microsomal fraction from rat liver     

Estimation of the dermal carcinogenic activity of petroleum fractions using a modified Ames assay

The Ames Salmonella/microsomal activation mutagenesis assay has been adapted to improve sensitivity to complex hydrocarbon mixtures produced by the refining of petroleum. Extraction of oil samples with dimethyl sulfoxide produces aqueous-compatible solutions that more easily interact with the tester bacteria. These extracts, therefore, produce higher revertant values than do equivalent volumes of oil delivered neat or dissolved in organic solvent. Parallel increases in the liver microsomal S-9 concentration further improve the sensitivity of the assay, allowing detection of mutagenicity in otherwise inactive samples. The effect of increased microsomal fraction from rodent liver is apparently attributable to the higher levels of activating enzymes rather than to the concomitant increase in the overall hydrophobicity of the test system. The modified assay has been used to rank thirteen petroleum-derived oils and a corn oil control for relative mutagenic activity. This ranking closely correlates (r = 0.97) with potency rankings of the same samples previously determined from dermal carcinogenicity bioassays.Abbreviations DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide - S-9 Microsomal fraction from rodent liver - 2-AA 2-aminoanthracene - BaP benzo(a)pyrene - NADP nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate - DMF dimethyl formamide - EGDE ethylene glycol dimethyl ether     

Genotoxicity and carcinogenicity testing of 1,2-dibromopropane and 1,1,3-tribromopropane in comparison to 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane

The activities of 1,2-dibromopropane (DBP) and 1,1,3-tribromopropane (TBP) were studied in seven genotoxicity assays, (i) SOS-induction inE. coli, (ii) DNA repair in primary rat hepatocyte culture, (iii) theSalmonella/microsome assay, (iv) a host-mediated assay usingSalmonella, (v) the somatic mutation and recombination assay inDrosophila melanogaster, (vi) HGPRT-mutagenesis assay in ARL 18 cells, and (vii) micronucleus formation assay in mouse polychromatophylic erythrocytes (PCE), forestomach (FS), glandular stomach (GS), duodenum (D), jejunum (J), cecum (C) and liver (L). The halopropanes were also tested for tumor formation in the fishDanio rerio. DBP was active in assays (ii), (v), (vii FS) and (vii L). TBP was positive in assays (ii) and (iii), strongly positive in (vii L) and borderline positive in (iv). However, neither DBP nor TBP induced tumors in fish, in contrast to the carcinogenic 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane. The genotoxicity and potential carcinogenicity of DBP and TBP in mammals is discussed.Abbreviations 2-AA 2-aminoanthracene - DBCP 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane - DBP 1,2-dibromopropane - HGPRT hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase - i.p. intraperitoneal(ly) - NQO 4-nitro-quinoline-1-oxide - PCE polychromatic erythrocytes - TBP 1,1,3-tribromopropane - WME Williams' medium E

Trichloroethylene in the Environment: Public Health Concerns

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) prepares toxi-cological profiles for hazardous substances found at waste sites and elsewhere in the environment. In 1997 the agency updated its toxicological profile for trichloroethylene and included new and expanded information on the health effects associated with exposures to trichloroethylene. Several endpoints of concern are described in the profile. However, in this paper only results from studies reporting developmental and carcinogenic effects from trichloroethylene exposures in human and experimental animal studies are summarized and evaluated. Based on its assessment of the available studies and limitations in the reported findings, ATSDR has determined there is limited but suggestive evidence that developmental effects may be a concern for some persons exposed to TCE in drinking water. Moreover, developmental effects may be the most sensitive of all non-cancer health effects associated with trichloroethylene exposures. Significant questions remain about the likely mode(s) of action for TCE-induced carcinogenesis in humans and the basis for differences in pharmacokinetics handling of TCE across animal strains and sex. However, on the basis of animal data and the suggestive, yet inconclusive, human data available, ATSDR has determined that cancer should be an effect of concern for people exposed to TCE in the environment. ATSDR agrees that the available literature supports the premise that TCE is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen” as defined by the U.S. National Toxicology Program.
