PM10 particles were collected over three sites in France. The first one, Montagney was a rural site that was considered as a reference site. The second site Saclay, close to a highway, was used to study the influence of the traffic. The third site was Dunkerque, one of the most industrial areas in France for the production of steel, aluminium and petroleum refinement. More than 50 element concentrations were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry. Comparisons between Saclay and Montagney shown that some elements, considered as crustal elements had similar concentration variations and weak (close to 1) enrichment factors. Elements with enrichment factors higher than 10 shown in Montagney correlated variations, with a Winter maximum, that should be due to Winter heating sources. Over Saclay, most of elements with high enrichment factors were attributed to the dense traffic of the highway. This is particularly true for Mn, Fe, Zn, Ba, Sb, Cu. Some additional elements correlated also, without a particular origin that can be ascertained. In Dunkerque, the most important industry is steel production. Correlation studies shown that Tl, Cs, Ba, Ag, Cu, Rb, Se, Mn, Pb concentration variations were closely associated to the Fe concentration variations. The second polluting industry is aluminium production. Correlation studies allowed to associate Ni, Y, Co, V, rare earth elements, Ti, Sr, Th, U, Ca, Sc, concentration variations to the aluminium concentration variations. A third important industry is petroleum refinement. The only element observed here and that is suspected to be emitted more specifically is La, used in cracking processes. An important enrichment of La with respect to Ce is observed. A strong decrease of the ratio Cl/Na was observed over the three sites, between the beginning of the experiment in Autumn 2005, and its end in Spring 2006. This was attributed to a release of gaseous HCl, produced by acidification of aerosols by other pollutants like NO x and SO x , that should have been oxidized to NO2 and SO3, then dissolved in the aerosols. The effects responsible for the loss of Cl, represents a large surface and long-term pollution event over the North of France. This work allowed a characterization of the heavy metal concentrations of the aerosol that will sustain results published in a companion paper, and that concerned the bio-accumulation of metals by Scleropodium purum, simultaneously exposed in the same sites. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Total genomic DNA from 137 strains of Xanthomonas albilineans from worldwide locations was hybridized with two DNA probes that together harbor the entire 49-kb albicidin biosynthesis gene cluster and two additional 3-kb genomic regions required for albicidin production. Fourteen haplotypes and two major genetic groups (albicidin [ALB]-restriction fragment length polymorphism [RFLP] A and ALB-RFLP B) were identified, and strains that were isolated after recent outbreaks of leaf scald disease belonged to group ALB-RFLP B. Albicidin genetic diversity was very similar to the previously described genetic diversity of the pathogen based on the whole genome. No relationship was found between variability of albicidin biosynthesis genes and the amount of albicidin produced in vitro by X. albilineans. Leaf scald-susceptible sugarcane cv. H70-144 was inoculated with 20 strains of the pathogen belonging to different ALB-RFLP haplotypes. Among them, 10 strains from Guadeloupe belonged to the same ALB-RFLP group but differed in the amount of albicidin produced in vitro. Strains were distributed in at least three different pathogenicity groups based on symptom severity and pathogen population density in the stalk. These two pathogenicity factors varied concurrently; however, no relationship between variation in albicidin biosynthesis genes, variation in the amount of albicidin produced in vitro, and variation in pathogenicity of X. albilineans was found. Further investigation is necessary to identify other genes involved in pathogenicity of X. albilineans. 相似文献

Summary The persistence and biotoxicity of nonylphenol, a mixture of monoalkyl phenols that is found in relatively high concentrations in sewage sludge, were studied in an incubation experiment with a reconstituted soil system (compost + sandstone). The effect of nonylphenol (100 and 1000 ppm) on CO2 evolution and biomass ATP were monitored. Nonylphenol depressed CO2 production significantly only at high concentrations [1000 ppm 4-nonylphenol (4-NP)]. Biomass ATP declined progressively after the 5th day. At 100 ppm no toxic effects were detected. After a lag phase, nonylphenol disappeared readily upon incubation at the lower concentration (100 ppm), but persisted at high levels (1000 ppm). The persistence of 4-nonylphenol increased under aseptic conditions. The chromatogram profile of 4-NP changed over time, indicating that some of the isomers are more easily degraded than others. 相似文献
