溶解性有机质对土壤中有机污染物环境行为的影响

土壤中溶解性有机质(DOM)是生物活性和物理化学反应活性都很活跃的有机组分,主要通过疏水吸附、分配、氢键、电荷转移、共价键、范德华力等多种作用与有机污染物结合,提高溶液中有机污染物的溶解度,改变土壤中有机污染物的吸附-解吸、迁移-转化等环境行为．DOM对有机污染物的吸附-解吸、迁移-转化过程的影响有双重性：一方面,DOM与有机污染物在土壤表面的共吸附可增加土壤对有机污染物的吸附容量,促进有机污染物在土壤中的吸持;另一方面,DOM对有机污染物的增溶作用,有利于土壤中有机污染物的解吸,提高移动性．作为光敏剂,DOM能提高土壤中有机物的光解反应速率．在一定条件下,DOM也可影响土壤中有机污染物的水解过程．DOM对土壤中有机污染物环境行为的影响与DOM和有机污染物的性质及其相互作用的介质条件密切相关．

BasinBox: A Generic Multimedia Fate Model for Predicting the Fate of Chemicals in River Catchments

Multimedia fate models have proven to be very useful tools in chemical risk assessment and management. This paper presents BasinBox, a newly developed steady-state generic multimedia fate model for evaluating risks of new and existing chemicals in river basins. The model concepts, as well as the intermedia processes quantified in the model, are outlined, and an overview of the required input parameters is given. To test the BasinBox model, calculations were carried out for predicting the fate of chemicals in the river Rhine basin. This was done for a set of 3175 hypothetical chemicals and three emission scenarios to air, river water and cropland soils. For each of these hypothetical chemicals and emission scenarios the concentration ratio between the downstream area and the upstream area was calculated for all compartments. From these calculations it appeared that BasinBox predicts significant concentration differences between upstream and downstream areas of the Rhine river basin for certain types of chemicals and emission scenarios. There is a clear trend of increasing chemical concentrations in downstream direction of the river basin. The calculations show that taking into account spatial variability between upstream, midstream and downstream areas of large river basins can be useful in the predictions of environmental concentrations by multimedia fate models.     

Exposing culprit organic pollutants: a review

There is a continuing need for monitoring the health of the environment due to the presence of pollutants. Here, we review the development and attributes of biosensors by which bacteria have been genetically modified to express the luminescence genes, i.e. to glow, in a quantified manner, in response to pollutants. We have concentrated on the detection of organic hydrocarbon pollutants and discussed the molecular mechanisms by which some of these chemicals act as effector molecules on the respective regulatory systems. The future of environmental biosensors is predictably bright. As more knowledge is gathered on the sensing regulatory component, the possibility of developing targeted or pollutant-specific biosensors is promising. Moreover, the repertoire of biosensors for culprit organic pollutants is expected to be enlarged through advances in genomics technology and identification of new sensory or receptor molecules. The need for pollutant detection at concentrations in the parts per trillion range or biosensors configured in a nanoscale is anticipated.     

Impaired maturation, fertilization, and embryonic development of porcine oocytes following exposure to an environmentally relevant organochlorine mixture

The reproductive health risks related to exposure to persistent organic pollutants in the environment remain controversial. This debate is partly because most studies have investigated only one or two chemicals at a time, whereas populations are exposed to a large spectrum of persistent chemicals in their environment. Using the pig as a toxicological model, we hypothesized that exposing immature cumulus-oocyte complexes to an organochlorine mixture during in vitro maturation (IVM) would adversely affect oocyte maturation, fertilization, and subsequent embryo development. This organochlorine mixture mimics that which contaminates the Arctic marine food chain. Cumulus-oocyte complexes were cultured in IVM medium containing increasing concentrations of the organochlorine mixture, similar to that found in women of highly exposed populations. Organochlorines reduced the quality of cumulus expansion and the viability of cumulus cells in a dose-response manner. The proportion of apoptotic cumulus cells also increased due to organochlorine exposure. Half of the oocytes were fixed after insemination, and the remainders were cultured for 8 days. Concentrations of organochlorines did not affect the rates of oocyte degeneration, sperm penetration, and development to morula. However, incidence of incompletely matured oocytes increased and polyspermy rate decreased, both in a dose-response manner with increasing organochlorine concentrations. Blastocyst formation and number of cells per blastocyst declined with organochlorine concentration. Exposing porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes to an environmentally pertinent organochlorine mixture during IVM disturbs oocyte development, supporting recent concerns that such pollutants harm reproductive health in humans and other mammalian species.

PHYLOGENETIC VARIATION IN THE TOLERANCE AND UPTAKE OF ORGANIC CONTAMINANTS

An investigation into the phylogenetic variation of plant tolerance and the root and shoot uptake of organic contaminants was undertaken. The aim was to determine if particular families or genera were tolerant of, or accumulated organic pollutants. Data were collected from sixty-nine studies. The variation between experiments was accounted for using a residual maximum likelihood analysis to approximate means for individual taxa. A nested ANOVA was subsequently used to determine differences at a number of differing phylogenetic levels. Significant differences were observed at a number of phylogenetic levels for the tolerance to TPH, the root concentration factor and the shoot concentration factor. There was no correlation between the uptake of organic pollutants and that of heavy metals. The data indicate that plant phylogeny is an important influence on both the plant tolerance and uptake of organic pollutants. If this study can be expanded, such information can be used when designing plantings for phytoremediation or risk reduction during the restoration of contaminated sites.     

Classification of potentially toxic chemicals based on their effects on mitochondrial respiration

The classification of potentially toxic chemicals including environmental pollutants was made with respect to state 3 and state 4 respiration of mitochondria. The concentration of certain metals for 50% inhibition of respiratory control index (RCI; state 3/state 4) was lower than that of organic compounds tested. Various chemicals including environmental pollutants were classified into four groups by combination of effects on state 3 and state 4 respiration.     

Formation of non-bioavailable organic residues in soil: Perspectives for site remediation

Whenever possible, total clean-up of soils and sediments should have priority over methods to contain the pollutants in the soil environment in a way which reduces their potential eco-toxicological effects. Nevertheless, often a very important fraction of the pollutant remains non-available to the cleaning process, either physico-chemical or biological. This constitutes a major obstacle for both environmental technologists and legislators. Yet, the concept of non-extractable organic residues is well accepted in the EU-legislation for pesticides. In this context, an assessment is made to bind organic pollutants to soil. Physical sorption (comprising surface adsorption, absorption and migration in micro- and nanopores) and chemical binding are examined in terms of quantities and kinetics. Chemical binding offers at present no direct possibilities for practice. Making toxic pollutants less bioavailable by increasing physical sorption represents a pragmatic approach to contractors and regulators. For organic pollutants with acceptable concentration in the soil solution of the order of 1 mg/l, a sorptive loading of the order of 10 000 mg pollutant per kg activated carbon respectively organic matter appears a workable assumption. In case of toxic substances such as pesticides which have a 1000 times lower acceptable level, a sorptive loading of up to 10 mg organic pollutant per kg sorbent can be used. Non-bioavailable pollutants can be considered as representing no direct harm to the environment. In practice, the application of up to 100–200 kg dry weight quality compost per ton dry weight soil or alternatively the supplementation of other sorbents such as powdered activated carbon (up to 100 kg per ton soil) offer possibilities to cost-effective remediation of organic pollutants. Yet, aspects of worst-case ecotoxicology as e.g. excessive leaching with dissolved humic substances or ingestion of soil containing substantial amounts of poorly extractable contaminants by human and soil organisms, need to be examined.

Biosorption of oxybenzene using biosorbent prepared by raw wastes of Zea mays and comparative study by using commercially available activated carbon

Organic pollutants present in waste water have undesirable effect on the environment. Industry activities are the key sources of organic pollutants. Prime pollutants released from various sources react instantly with the environment and become derived (secondary) pollutants, which stay for an elongated time. The present research work has been carried out using biosorbent prepared from various Zea mays wastes for elimination of oxybenzene. Different parameters viz contact time, initial concentration; adsorbent dose, temperature and pH were optimized for the biosorption of oxybenzene on to the biosorbent samples. BCS (Baby corn silk) showed higher percentage of biosorption at optimum contact time of 3 h, pH between 5 and 6 and temperature at 25 °C. Analysis of equilibrium biosorption data in terms of several isotherm models revealed that Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm indicates better agreement with the experimental data. The kinetics of oxybenzene biosorption on to the biosorbents was described with the pseudo-first-order model. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that biosorption onto biosorbent was feasible in nature, spontaneous, and endothermic for some biosorbents, but on contrary not feasible, exothermic and non spontaneous for other biosorbents. The result of this study showed that the biosorbent derived from Zea mays can be used as a prospective biosorbent for oxybenzene in wastewater and also can be an alternative for the commercially activated carbon.     

Spatial differentiation of chemical removal rates from air in life cycle impact assessment

Purpose  

Spatial differentiation is a topic of increasing interest within life cycle assessment (LCA). For chemical-related impacts, in this paper, we evaluate the relative influence of substance properties and of environmental characteristics on the variability in the environmental fate of chemicals using an advanced, spatially resolved model. The goal of this study is to explore spatial distribution and spatial variability of organic chemicals, assessing the variability of the removal rate from air with a multimedia spatially explicit model Multimedia Assessment of Pollutant Pathways in the Environment (MAPPE) Global with a resolution of 1 × 1°. This provides basis to help identify chemicals for which spatial differentiation will be important in LCAs, including whether differentiation will have added benefits over the use of global generic default values, such as those provided by the USEtox model.
