Acute toxicity of heavy metals, tributyltin, ammonia and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to benthic amphipodgrandidierella japonica

Benthic amphipod,Grandidierella japonica widely inhabits the Korean coastal waters and is developed as a standard test species for sediment toxicity tests. We exposedG . japonica to various pollutants including 4 kinds of inorganic metals (Ag, Cd, Cu and Hg), tributyltin [TBT], ammonia and 7 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds (acenaphthene, chrysene, fluoranthene, fluorene, naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene) to estimate the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) and the median lethal concentration (LC50) of each pollutant during the 96-hour acute exposure. Among all tested pollutants, TBT was most toxic toG. japonica, and Hg was most toxic among inorganic metals. The toxicity of pyrene toG. japonica was greatest among PAH compounds, followed by fluoranthene, phenanathrene, acenaphthene, fluorene and naphthalene. The toxicity of PAH compounds was closely related to their physico-chemical characteristics such as K_ow and water solubility.G. japonica responded adequately to pollutant concentrations and exposure durations, and the sensitivity ofG. japonica to various inorganic and organic pollutants was generally comparable to other amphipods used as standard test species in ecotoxicological studies, indicating this species can be applied in the assessment of environments polluted by various harmful substances.     

Bioavailability of heavy metals bound to sediments affected by a mining spill using Solea senegalensis and Scrobicularia plana

After the Aznalcóllar mining spill (April, 1998) different ecosystems along the Guadiamar river and the Guadalquivir estuary were impacted by high concentrations of metals. The concentration of metals Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu and As has been detected as a good tracer of the pathway of the toxic spill. Different individuals of the fish Solea senegalensis and the clam Scrobicularia plana were exposed to contaminated sediments after the accidental spill in the south-west Spain. The induction of metallothioneins in fish and the bioaccumulation of metals in clams were determined in different tissues to determine the biological adverse effect associated with the heavy metals from the spill. A relationship between the enrichment of metals in the tissues and the induction of metallothioneins was determined for those assays performed using contaminated sediments. The bioaccumulation of metals indicates that the risk associated with the spill should be continuously evaluated to establish the sublethal effects related to the accident.

Ecotoxicological evaluation of sewage sludge using bioluminescent marine bacteria and rotifer

Bioassay using the marine bacteria,Vibrio fischeri and rotifer,Brachionus plicatilis, and chemical analyses were conducted to assess the toxicity of the various sewage sludges, one of the major ocean dumped materials in the Yellow Sea of Korea. Sludge elutriates extracted by filtered seawater were used to estimate the ecotoxicity of the sludge. Chemical characterization included the analyses of organic contents, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants in sludge. Bacterial bioluminescent inhibition (15 min), rotifer mortality (24 hr) and rotifer population growth inhibition (48 hr) assay were conducted to estimate the sludge toxicity. EC50 15 min (inhibition concentration of bioluminescence after 15 minutes exposed) values by Microtox® bioassay clearly revealed different toxicity levels depending on the sludge sources. Highest toxicity for the bacteria was found with the sludge extract from dyeing waste and followed by industrial waste, livestock waste, and leather processing waste. Clear toxic effects on the bacteria were not found in the sludge extract from filtration bed sludge and rural sewage sludge. Consistent with Microtox® results, rotifer neonate mortality and population growth inhibition test also showed highest toxicity in dyeing waste and low in filtration bed and rural sewage sludge. High concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals were measured in the samples from the industrial wastes, leather processing plant waste sludge, and urban sewage sludge. However, there was no significant correlation between pollutant concentration levels and the toxicity values of the sludge. This suggests that the ecotoxicity in addition to the chemical analyses of various sludge samples must be estimated before release of potential harmful waste in the natural environment as part of an ecological risk assessment.     

汞对三角褐指藻的毒性

汞对三角褐指藻一次培养毒性实验表明,当无机汞(HgCl_2)浓度为5μg/dm~3时能抑制细胞分裂,汞浓度达到80μg/dm~3,则细胞完全停止分裂。甲基汞浓度为1μg/dm~3时能抑制细胞分裂,浓度为25μg/dm~3时,则完全抑制细胞分裂。有机络合剂对无机汞有解毒作用,这表明汞的毒性与汞在溶液中形态有关。根据实验结果,分析讨论了汞对三角褐指藻的毒性机理。无机汞和甲基汞对细胞毒性的差别,可能与它们同细胞膜的结合及传输方式不同所致。     

应用平衡分配模型评价渤海湾和莱州湾沉积物重金属潜在生物毒性

为探讨渤海沉积物中重金属的生物毒性,采集了渤海湾和莱州湾共72个站点的表层沉积物,测定了酸可挥发性硫化物(AVS)、同步萃取金属(SEM)、有机碳(TOC)等参数,应用平衡分配模型(EqP Model)评价了沉积物中重金属的潜在生物毒性。研究显示,有8个站点超过了EqP Model的毒性阈值,显示潜在生物毒性,而61%的站点应无生物毒性。本研究同时测定了沉积物的总含量,应用几种常用的沉积物质量基准进行了评价虽然有部分站点的Cu、Ni、Cr超过了基准值,但与渤海的背景值比较,这些基准值可能并不适用于评价渤海沉积物。研究显示,EqP Model可以更有效的评价沉积物中重金属的活性和生物毒性,尤其针对我国近岸海域的沉积物,TOC和AVS含量偏低而重金属生物毒性偏高的情况可能普遍存在,更应积极考虑应用EqP Model进行重金属生物毒性的评价。     

A model describing the time course and variability in toxicity of hydrophobic chemicals to aquatic organisms

The growth of Chlorella marine, Nannochloris oculate, Pyramimonaos sp., Platymonas subcordiformis and Phaeodactylum tricornutum exposed to chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene and pentachlorobenzene was tested. The Boltzman equation was used to describe organism growth. The time course for uptake of hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs) by aquatic organisms was expressed by incorporating growth and, if desired, the effect of metabolism into the HOC bioconcentration process. The probability of any given concentration of HOCs in the organisms causing a specified toxic endpoint was expressed with a modified Weibull distribution function. The combined bioconcentration and probability equations were tested with data for time course of incubation of algae exposed to chlorinated benzenes (CBs). A set of parameters, including the uptake rate constant k ₁, the elimination rate constant k ₂ and thereafter the bioconcentration factor on a dry weight basis, BCF _D, the critical HOC concentration in the organism resulting in a specified toxic endpoint, C _A ^* , and the spread factor, S, could be obtained by fitting only experimental data for percent growth inhibition(%)-time-CB exposure concentration. The average coefficients of variation within CBs were 15.2% for BCF _D, 21.0% for k ₁, 18.3% for k ₂, 8.1% for C _A ^* and 9.7% for S. The variability in toxicity (such as EC₁₀, EC₅₀, EC₉₀) derived from the model equations agreed well with those experimentally observed.     

Geochemistry and water dynamics: II. Trace metals and Pb–Sr isotopes as tracers of water movements and erosion processes

A dynamic scheme for water movements over a flood in a small watershed was proposed in a previous paper [Ben Othman, D., Luck, J.M., Tournoud, M.G., 1997. Geochemistry and water dynamics: application to short-time scale flood phenomena in a small Mediterranean catchment: I. Alkalis, alkali-earths and Sr isotopes. Chem. Geol. [140] 9–28] based on major, alkali–alkali earth trace elements and Sr isotopes. In the present paper, metal contents and Pb isotope data are reported for the same samples, and compared to natural and anthropogenic local sources analysed for this purpose. Water treatment plants have stable but show relatively large variations, presumably related to yet unidentified (industrial?) Pb sources. Some Cu–Zn-rich chemicals used extensively on vineyards have unradiogenic around 17.7. Local rains sampled over two years show roughly similar low values. Pb from rocks is variable and more radiogenic ( ≈18.8–22.8). Except for the first hours, trace element concentrations in the dissolved load are similar to or slightly higher than those observed over the year, and similar to other moderately anthropogenic areas [Shiller, A.M., Boyle, E.A., 1987. Variability of dissolved trace metals in the Mississippi river. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta [51] 3273–3277] for [Pb] (0.05–0.45 nM), [Zn] (10–75 nM) and [Cd] (0.03–0.18 nM). Dissolved [U] and [Co] show simple variations correlated to carbonate, related to local natural sources. Most trace elements in the particulate load are strongly correlated. Lead isotopes in the dissolved and particulate loads show ranges over the flood, again similar to those observed over the year ( ≈17.9–18.3), implying the same sources. The very good alignments observed in and vs. diagrams, especially for the particulate, are interpreted as mixing phenomena. Generally Pb isotopic signature of the dissolved load is less radiogenic than the particulate, indicating differences in sources or proportions and absence of isotopic equilibration with respect to the time of transfer. Pb isotopes shift regularly with time away from the road runoff endmember towards more radiogenic values. The strong negative correlation between Pb isotopes in the particulate load and Sr isotopes in the dissolved load, observed for the first time in a small watershed, probably reflects the local coupling between mechanical and chemical erosion, respectively.     

甲基汞在褐牙鲆幼鱼体内蓄积的组织特异性及其对免疫功能和生长的毒性作用

甲基汞(MeHg)对鱼类多种生命过程存在极强的毒性作用,但有关其对海水鱼类免疫功能的毒性作用研究较少。本文利用实验毒理学方法研究了MeHg(暴露浓度0.0, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 20.0μg/L;暴露时间30天)在褐牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)幼鱼组织(鳃、肝脏和脾脏)中的蓄积特征及其对幼鱼的四种免疫功能生物指示物(溶菌酶LZM、酸性磷酸酶ACP、碱性磷酸酶AKP和免疫球蛋白MIgM)和生长的毒性作用。结果表明,幼鱼体内MeHg蓄积量具有显著的浓度依赖性和组织特异性,各组织对MeHg的蓄积能力总体上呈现肝脏鳃脾脏的趋势;四种免疫功能生物指示物(活性或含量)对不同MeHg浓度暴露的响应方式各异,且具有显著的组织特异性; MeHg达到一定暴露浓度后显著抑制幼鱼的生长。总体而言,MeHg在褐牙鲆幼鱼体内蓄积,对其产生免疫毒性,并抑制幼鱼的生长。此外,ACP、AKP和LZM等免疫性指标能较好的反映对MeHg暴露的浓度依赖关系和组织特异性,可作为海水环境中MeHg污染风险评估和生物毒性分析的潜在生物指示物。
