Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in Dactylis glomerata L. growing in a calcareous soil amended with sewage sludge

The total and DTPA-extractable concentrations of Pb, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cr and Cd were measured in a calcareous soil amended with different doses of sewage sludge under field conditions. The same metals were also measured in the roots and leaves of Dactylis glomerata at the end of the first vegetative period after the sludge was added. The root concentrations of all the metals were unrelated to their concentrations in the soil. Leaf concentrations of Zn and Cr correlated with total (Zn) and DTPA-extractable (Zn and Cr) concentrations in the soil. DTPA extraction did not appear to be very useful for evaluating the bioavailability of metals in this kind of soil as it gave very low correlation coefficients with leaf content (r = 0.684, P = 0.0049 for Zn and r = 0.557, P = 0.0249 for Cr). Concentrations of Pb, Ni, Cu, and Cd in roots and leaves of Dactylis glomerata were unrelated to the total or DTPA-extractable concentrations in the sludge-amended soil.     

The distribution of cadmium,copper, lead,zinc and calcium in the tissues of the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus sampled from one uncontaminated and four polluted soils

Summary The tissue distribution of Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn, and Ca in the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus living in non-polluted and heavy-metal polluted soils was investigated. Cd, Pb and Zn were primarily accumulated within the posterior alimentary canal. As the whole-worm Pb burden increased, the proportion of the metal accumulated within this tissue fraction increased. A similar pattern was found for Zn. By contrast, 70%–76% of the Cd burden was found in the posterior alimentary canal, irrespective of the whole-worm Cd content. The accumulation of Cd, Pb and Zn primarily in the posterior alimentary canal prevents dissemination of large concentrations of these metals into other earthworm tissues, and may thus represent a dextoxification strategy based on accumulative immobilisation. Cu was distributed fairly evenly in the tissue fractions investigated. There was no evidence of sequestration of this metal. The apparent lack of a detoxification strategy may contribute to the well-known susceptibility of earthworms to low environmental Cu concentrations. Indeed, earthworms from the site of highest soil Cu (Ecton) were markedly smaller than those from the other sites sampled. The highest Ca concentrations were found in the anterior alimentary canal, and were related to calciferous gland activity. A large proportion of Ca was also stored as a physiologically available pool in the posterior alimentary canal. Despite huge variations in soil Ca concentrations, the body wall Ca levels were fairly similar in L. rubellus from all the study sites. Thus, L. rubellus may become physiologically adapted to soils of exceptionally low Ca concentration. The observations are discussed in the context of the merits of analysing specific tissues, rather than whole organisms, for the purpose of monitoring metal bioaccumulation.     

Heavy Metal Phytotoxicity to Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) in a Digested Sludge-amended Gangetic Alluvium

A limiting factor in land application of sewage sludge is the resultant heavy metal accumulation in soils followed by biomagnification in the food chain, posing a potential hazard to animal and human health. In view of this fact, pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of digested sludge application to soil on phytotoxicity of heavy metals such as Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb to radish (Raphanus sativus L.) plants. Increasing sludge levels resulted in increased levels of DTPA-extractable heavy metals in the soil. Cadmium was the dominant metal extracted by DTPA followed by Ni, Pb, and Cr. The extractability of metals by DTPA tended to decrease from the first to the second crop. Dry matter yield of radish increased significantly as a function of increasing sludge treatments. Soil application of sludge raised the concentration of one or more heavy metals in plants. Shoots contained higher concentrations of Cd, Cr, and Ni than the roots of radish plants. Shoot concentrations of Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb were within the tolerance levels of this crop at all rates of sludge application. Shoot as well as root concentration of Cd was above 0.5 mg kg^?1, considered toxic for human and animal consumption. The levels of DTPA-extractable Cd and Ni were less correlated while those of Cr and Pb were more correlated with their respective shoot and root contents. The results emphasize that accumulation of potentially toxic heavy metals in soil and their build-up in vegetable crops should not be ignored when sludge is applied as an amendment to land.     

The influence of composting and maturation processes on the heavy-metal extractability from some organic wastes

Seven mixtures from four organic residues—aerobic sewage sludge, city refuse, peat residue and grape debris—were made up to study the influence of the composting and maturation processes on the extractability of Fe, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd, Pb, Cr and Mn by a chelating agent (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, DTPA) and a neutral salt solution (0·05m CaCl₂) from the residues.Composting and maturation increased the concentration of heavy metals in the materials due to the loss of weight of the materials during these processes. The metals also became more insoluble, and extractants employed removed larger amounts of metals from the raw composts than from the mature composts. In general, CaCl₂-extractable metals did not correlate significantly with the metal content of the composts. With DTPA-extractable metals, the only ones that showed significant correlations between the quantity of metal extracted by DTPA and the metal content of the samples in nearly all the composts studied were Pb and Zn.The load of ‘zinc equivalent’ increased with the composting and maturation processes, and the Cd/Zn ratio decreased with those processes.

Heavy metal bioavailability in a soil affected by mineral sulphides contamination following the mine spillage at Aznalcóllar (Spain)

A field experiment, lasting 14 months, was carried out in order to assess the effect of organic amendment and lime addition on the bioavailability of heavy metals in contaminated soils. The experiment took place in a soil affected by acid, highly toxic pyritic waste from the Aznalcóllar mine (Seville, Spain) in April 1998. The following treatments were applied (3 plots per treatment): cow manure, a mature compost, lime (to plots having pH < 4), and control without amendment. During the study two crops of Brassica juncea were grown, with two additions of each organic amendment. Throughout the study, the evolution of soil pH, total and available (DTPA-extractable) heavy metals content (Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb and Cd), electrical conductivity (EC), soluble sulphates and plant growth and heavy metal uptake were followed. The study indicates that: (1) soil acidification, due to the oxidation of metallic sulphides in the soil, increased heavy metal bioavailability; (2) liming succeeded in controlling the soil acidification; and (3) the organic materials generally promoted fixation of heavy metals in non-available soil fractions, with Cu bioavailability being particularly affected by the organic treatments.     

The accumulation and intracellular compartmentation of cadmium,lead, zinc and calcium in two earthworm species (Dendrobaena rubida and Lumbricus rubellus) living in highly contaminated soil

Summary The earthworm Lumbricus rubellus contained more Ca and Zn, and less Pb and Cd, than Dendrobaena rubida living in the same contaminated disused-mine soil. Differences in the kinetics of Ca turnover may account for some of the inter-specific differences in heavy metal burdens, although the calciferous glands do not seem to be directly involved in heavy metal excretion. A comparison of the present findings with published data indicated that the concentration of soil Ca and the bioavailability of heavy metals, both factors being allied to soil pH, are important exogenous determinants of heavy metal accumulation by different earthworm populations. Electron microprobe X-ray analysis of air-dried smears of chloragogenous tissue showed that the metals were fairly specifically compartmentalized into two distinct organelles in both worms: Ca, Pb and Zn were found (associated with P) in the chloragosomes; Cd was found (with S and probably in stoichiometric association) in a more electron-lucent vesicular component, designated the cadmosome, but which may be identical with the debris vesicles which are characteristic inclusions in conventionally-fixed chloragocytes. The in vivo incorporation of Pb by the chloragosomes of D. rubida was accompanied by the loss of Ca, Zn and P.     

Minerals in the rhizosphere: overlooked mediators of soil nitrogen availability to plants and microbes

Non-native earthworms are a continued source of environmental change in the northeastern United States that may affect trace metals in the plant-soil system, with largely unknown effects. We assessed earthworm impacts on exchangeable and strong acid extractable (total) concentrations and pools of Al, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mo, Pb in non-point source polluted, forest soil horizons (Organic, A, and B) and foliar metals concentrations in young (<?3 years) Acer saccharum and Polystichum acrostichoides at four proximal forests in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. We observed decreasing total trace metal Organic horizon pools and increasing total trace metal A horizon concentrations as a function of increasing earthworm biomass. Earthworms had limited effects on exchangeable concentrations in A and B horizons and total metal concentrations in the B horizon. Foliar trace metal concentrations in Acer were better explained by earthworm biomass than soil concentrations but foliar concentrations for Polystichum were poorly predicted by both earthworm biomass and soil metal concentrations. Our results suggest that earthworms can affect trace metal uptake by some plants, but not by increasing soil trace metal exchangeability or from changing soil properties (pH, %SOM, or cation exchange capacity). Instead, non-native earthworms may indirectly alter understory plant uptake of trace metals.

以香樟作为指示植物,选取黄岩、临海和路桥地区污水处理厂污泥,将污泥与尾矿砂按(污泥质量比例为0%对照、25%、50%和75%)配比进行栽培试验。测定添加污泥对尾矿砂理化性质以及香樟生理特性的影响。结果表明:随着污泥比例的增加,混合基质中的有机质、全氮、全磷明显增加,pH值明显降低,离子交换量明显减少,Cu和Cd总量明显增加,而Pb总量明显减少,Zn总量没有明显变化,Cu、Cd和Zn的DTPA提取量明显增加,而Pb的DTPA提取量明显减少。黄岩和临海污泥在25%和50%比例时,香樟叶和茎的生物量和叶绿素含量明显增加,而根的生物量没有明显变化,在75%比例时,生物量和叶绿素含量均明显减少;而添加路桥污泥使香樟叶、茎和根的生物量和叶绿素含量明显减少。丙二醛含量则与生物量和叶绿素含量呈现相反的变化特征。黄岩和临海污泥在25%和50%比例时,根和叶的Cu、Cd、Pb和Zn含量明显减少,在75%比例时,Cu、Cd和Zn含量则明显增加;而添加路桥污泥使叶和根的Cu、Cd和Zn含量明显增加,Pb含量明显减少。研究表明添加污泥提高了尾矿砂的养分含量,同时改变了其重金属组成,对污泥重金属含量和有机质组成的监控可以准确地预测污泥改良后尾矿砂对植物毒性的变化。     

Influence of acid rain and ozone on soil heavy metals under loblolly pine trees: A field study

A field growth chamber study was conducted to determine the effects of ozone and simulated acid rain (SAR) on soil heavy metals. Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.), grown in open-top chambers, was exposed to three concentrations of ozone (charcoal filtered air with 0.026 µL O₃ L^-1, and two non-filtered treatments in which ozone concentrations were 0.074 µL L^-1 and 0.147 µL L^-1, respectively) and two levels of SAR (pH 3.5 and 5.2). Ozone was applied for 12 h d^-1 for 9 months and acid rain deposition was 125 mm event^-1. After 9 months exposure, soil pH, organic matter and DTPA-extractable heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu) were determined on soil samples collected from exposed chambers at two depths (0–15 cm and 15–30 cm). Simulated acid rain decreased the original soil pH. The concentrations of Cd, Pb and Mn at SAR pH 3.5 were significantly higher than at SAR pH 5.2. Ozone did not affect Zn, Fe and Cu, but a significant interaction between pH and O₃ on Mn, Pb and Cd was observed. Due to the poor drainage capacity of this soil, leaching of heavy metals was not observed.     

Decomposition of kitchen waste amended with cow manure using an epigeic species (Eisenia fetida) and an anecic species (Lampito mauritii)

An epigeic (surface dweller) earthworm species Eisenia fetida and an anecic (deep burrower) earthworm species Lampito mauritii have been tested for decomposition of kitchen waste plus cow dung. Chemical analyses of worm-worked substrates by both species showed g/kg increases in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and decreases in C/N and C/P ratios after 150 days of vermicomposting. However, organic carbon matter showed reduction in their amounts for 3-4 months and afterwards slightly increased up to 150 days. E. fetida produced 0.27%, 156%, 41% and 38% increases in organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium as well as 61% and 29% decreases in C/N and C/P ratios as compared to control after 150 days of earthworm inoculation. In contrast, L. mauritii produced 14%, 102%, 33% and 42% increases in organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as well as 43% and 14% decreases in C/N and C/P ratios as compared to control after 150 days of earthworm activity. There was moderate mineralization and faster decomposition by E. fetida in comparison to moderate mineralization and moderate decomposition by L. mauritii. The average numbers of cocoons and adults produced were greater by E. fetida than by L. mauritii after 150 days. These results indicate E. fetida may be a better adapted species for decomposition of kitchen waste plus cow dung under tropical conditions.

Copper,Lead, Cadmium,and Zinc Sorption By Waterlogged and Air-Dry Soil

Competitive sorption of copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn) was studied in three soils of contrasting chemical and physical properties under air-dry and waterlogged conditions. Competitive sorption was determined using the standard batch technique using six solutions, each with Cu, Pb, Cd, and Zn concentrations of approximately 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 50?mg L^?1Waterlogged soils tended to sorb higher amounts of added Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd relative to soils in the air-dry condition; however, this increase in sorption was generally not statistically (p<0.05) significant. The magnitude of sorption under both waterlogged and air-dry conditions was affected by the type and amount of soil materials involved in metal sorption processes, and competition between other metals for the sorption sites. Metal sorption was closely correlated with soil properties such as cation exchange capacity, organic carbon, and Fe and Mn hydrous oxides. Exchangeable Al may have markedly reduced metal sorption due to its strong affinity for the sorption sites, while increases in exchangeable Mn may have enhanced Zn and Cd sorption. Heavy metal sorption was best described as a combination of both specific and nonspecific interactions. The extractability of Cu, Pb, Cd, and Zn under waterlogged and air-dry conditions was also studied. Three solutions containing these metals were mixed with each soil to achieve a final concentration of 0, 50, and 500?mg kg^?1. Each soil was extracted every 7 days using 1?M MgCl₂ (pH 7) to determine metal extractability. Metal extractability initially decreased then increased due to waterlogging. The increased extractability of added metals was closely related to increased solubility of Fe and Mn suggesting that dissolution of Fe and Mn, oxides under reducing conditions caused a release of previously sorbed Cu, Pb, Cd, and Zn.     

Impact of long-term application of industrial wastewater on the emergence of resistance traits in Azotobacter chroococcum isolated from rhizospheric soil

A total of 57 (36 and 21) Azotobacter chroococcum were isolated from wheat (Triticum aestivum) rhizospheric soil irrigated with industrial wastewater (about a decade) and ground water (uncontaminated) and characterized on the basis of morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics. Rhizospheric soils were analyzed for metal concentrations by atomic absorption spectrophotometery and the test soil samples were contaminated with Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni and Pb. All the isolates of A. chroococcum were tested for their resistance against Hg2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Cr3+, Cr6+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+. Among 36 isolates of Azotobacter from soil irrigated with industrial wastewater, 94.4% were resistant to Pb2+ and Hg2+ and 86.1%, 77.5% and 63.8% were resistant to Zn2+, Cr6+ and Cr3+ respectively. The highest minimum inhibitory concentration of 200 microg/ml for Hg2+ and 1600 microg/ml for other metals were observed against these bacteria from soil. The incidences of metal resistance and MICs of metals for A. chroococcum from wastewater irrigated soil were significantly different to those of uncontaminated soil. All A. chroococcum isolates were tested for their resistance against 11 commonly used antibiotics/drugs. 91.6% were found to be resistant against nitrofurantoin while 86.4% and 80.5% were found to be resistant against polymyxin-B and co-trimoxazole respectively. Agarose gel electrophoresis using the miniprep method for plasmid isolation revealed that these isolates harboured plasmids of molecular weights 58.8 and 64.5 kb using EcoRI and HindIII digests of X DNA and undigested X DNA as standard markers.

Bioaccumulation and phyto-translocation of arsenic,chromium and zinc by Jatropha curcas L.: Impact of dairy sludge and biofertilizer

The present study was planned to remediate the metalloid and metal contaminated soil by using non-edible and economic plant species Jatropha curcas L. The experiment was conducted on pots to improve the survival rate, metal tolerance and growth response of the plant on soil; having different concentrations of arsenic, chromium and zinc. The soil was amended with dairy sludge and bacterial inoculum (Azotobacter chroococcum) as biofertilizer. The results of the study showed that the bioaccumulation potential was increased with increase in metalloid and metal concentration in soil system. Application of dairy sludge significantly reduces the DTPA-extractable As, Cr and Zn concentration in soil. The application of organic amendment stabilizes the As, Cr and Zn and reduced their uptake in plant tissues.
