掺杂氮、硫的石墨烯材料对磺胺类抗生素的吸附行为

水环境中抗生素污染日益严重。本研究制备了掺杂氮、硫的新型石墨烯材料(GO-NS),研究了其对磺胺类抗生素(Sulfonamides,SAs)的吸附和去除能力,并阐明吸附机制。研究发现,GO-NS对SAs的最大吸附量达100.26 mg·g^-1,吸附能力优于多层石墨烯(Multilayer graphene,MG)和还原氧化石墨烯(Reduced graphene oxide,rGO)这两种传统石墨烯材料。疏水作用和氢键作用是GO-NS吸附SAs的主要机理。相比于MG和rGO,GO-NS适用的pH范围最广,在pH=2~10范围内均具有较强的吸附效果,并且离子强度和腐殖酸(Humicacid,HA)的加入提升了GO-NS的吸附性能。此外,GO-NS仅通过短时间超声可实现有效的剥离分散,使吸附量增加。故该新型石墨烯材料GO-NS具有优越地吸附SAs的能力和广泛的环境适应性,可作为治理水环境中SAs污染的一种有效吸附剂。

Pattern and pathways for mercury lifespan bioaccumulation in Carcinus maenas

Carcinus maenas is an important and exploited natural resource in temperate estuaries, being consumed by local populations and also used as fish bait. Through bioaccumulation and bioamplification processes occurring in polluted estuarine ecosystems, this species may directly or indirectly represent a major pathway for Human contamination. No information is available on the overall lifespan bioaccumulation pattern of mercury for this species, which would be an invaluable tool for assessing the risks associated with C. maenas harvest in contaminated areas. Taking that in mind, the main objectives of this work were to clarify the lifespan bioaccumulation pattern of mercury for this species. A consistent lifespan accumulation pattern was found for this species, both for total and organic mercury, and coherent differences were found between genders, suggesting different physiological responses to contamination. From our results two scenarios emerge: (a) for low mercury contamination areas where the diet is the major pathway for metal uptake, with higher levels in muscle and hepatopancreas (twice as high as in gills) and higher organic mercury fractions (as high as 80-90% in muscle), crabs bioaccumulate with age and (b) on high contaminated areas, environmental exposure is predominant, with higher levels found in gills (reaching 0.8 mg kg(-1)), lower organic fractions and no mercury increment with age. Detoxification strategies, dietary differences and species mobility may account for these two accumulation patterns.     

济南南部山区喀斯特洞穴特征

济南南部山区是山东喀斯特洞穴发育地区之一,所统计的34个中,长度在50～500 m的较大洞穴有7个.从洞穴发育的基本特征看,较大的洞穴多呈单通道水平廊道状,洞内保留有许多典型的溶蚀小形态(如窝穴、波痕类),但洞内沉积物较为单一,主要是一些崩积物、残积物和渗流水造成的碎屑物,碳酸钙化学沉积物相对较少,溶洞多表现为一种单调的干洞特点.从成因上看:较大洞穴属于具有潜流成因的次生渗流带洞穴;较小洞穴有裂隙状的渗流带洞穴、差异风化成因的壁龛式洞穴等.这些洞穴具有较大的开发潜力.

Effects of barium and cadmium on the population development of the marine nematode Rhabditis (Pellioditis) marina

Offshore oil and gas drilling often involves the use of fluids containing barium and traces of other heavy metals. These may affect the environment, but information on their toxicity to benthic biota remains scant. Here, we present results of a 10-day bioassay with the marine nematode Rhabditis (Pellioditis) marina at different loads of barium (0-10 ,000 ppm nominal concentrations) and cadmium (0-12 ppm) in the range of concentrations reported from drilling-impacted sediments. Barium did not affect the fitness and population development of R. (P.) marina at concentrations up to 300 ppm, but did cause a decrease in population abundance and an increase in development time from concentrations of 400-2000 ppm onwards. Increased mortality occurred at 4800 ppm Ba. For cadmium, LOEC and EC?? values for total population abundance were 2.95 and 8.82 ppm, respectively. Cd concentrations as low as 2.40 to 2.68 caused a decrease in the abundance of adult nematodes, indicating that assays covering more generations would likely demonstrate yet more pronounced population-level effects. Our results indicate that oil and gas drilling activities may potentially have important implications for the meiobenthos through the toxicity of barium and associated metals like cadmium.     

Comparative study of digestion methods EPA 3050B (HNO₃--H₂O₂--HCl) and ISO 11466.3 (aqua regia) for Cu, Ni and Pb contamination assessment in marine sediments

Knowing the metal extraction capacity of a digestion method is crucial for a better environmental interpretation of metal concentrations determined in sediments. One of the main problems at the present is the lack of harmonization of information obtained by two of the most popular sediment partial digestion methods: ISO 11466.3 (aqua regia) and EPA 3050B (HNO?--H?O?--HCl). In the present work, the amount of Cu, Ni and Pb leached by using both methods was compared with the total content of those elements in marine sediments collected, as an example, from the Cienfuegos Bay, Cuba. Similar amounts of Cu were extracted by both methods; while leaching of Ni and Pb were different. Generally, the EPA method extracted more Ni than the ISO method. In contrast, Pb was extracted in a larger amount by the ISO method. Some explanations are given for the observed results. X-ray Diffraction, X-ray Fluorescence, Particle Induced X-ray Emission Spectrometry and Energy Dispersive X-ray coupled to Scanning Electron Microscopy were employed for this purpose. On the other hand, none of the methods studied extracted simultaneously the fraction of all the metals, probably provided by human activity (Theoretical Anthropogenic Fraction) in both sediments studied. The use of ISO 11466.3 or EPA 3050B is recommended since the analytical performance parameters of both, in combination with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, are adequate. For a better environmental interpretation of the analytical results, information on the extraction efficiency of the selected method for specific elements and sediments under study should also be provided, together with the determined concentrations.     

Integrated use of biomarkers (acetylcholinesterase and antioxidant enzymes activities) in Mytilus galloprovincialis and Mullus barbatus in an Italian coastal marine area

The use of biomarkers to evaluate the biological effects of chemical pollutants in marine organisms represents a recent tool in the monitoring field responding to the need to detect and assess the effects of chemical contaminants on the biota. The aim of the present work was the field application of the integrated use of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and antioxidant enzymes (catalase--CAT, glutathione peroxidase--GSH-Px), for detecting the possible exposure/effect induced by chemical pollutants in native marine organisms from a coastal marine area, represented by Salento Peninsula (Italy), that shows a coastline of high environmental value, but under constant urban pressure, including agriculture activities, widely diffused in the whole hinterland. Eight sampling stations were chosen: four not urbanized areas considered "uncontaminated" controls and four clearly exposed to anthropogenic impact. The bioindicator species studied were a sessile invertebrate, Mytilus galloprovincialis, and a benthic teleost fish, Mullus barbatus.AChE activity in M. galloprovincialis revealed significant differences among places; the minimum values observed (3.9+/-1.8 nmolmin(-1)mg(-1)) was about 50% reduced with respect to the maximum found (11.4+/-0.9 nmolmin(-1)mg(-1)). The reduction in AChE activity observed in two control stations could be explained by the leaching of pesticides into the sea from the agricultural lands. Moreover, the inhibition of AChE activity by heavy metals besides pesticides, can also explain the reduction of the enzymatic activity observed in an industrialized and harbour area. In M. galloprovincialis AChE activity showed a significant inverse correlation with catalase activity but not with glutathione peroxidase that did not significantly change in animals sampled from the eight stations. Also in M. barbatus AChE activity showed significant differences among places; it was inversely correlated with liver GSH-Px activity, but not with catalase activity, that did not show any significantly variation in animals sampled in the different stations.In conclusion, the integrated use of AChE and antioxidant enzymes (catalase or glutathione peroxidase) in M. galloprovincialis and M. barbatus, two species living in different compartment of marine coastal ecosystem, can find a useful application within the framework of marine coastal environment monitoring programs for detecting the possible exposure/effect induced by chemical pollutants, including pesticides, on living marine organisms.
