Analysis of antibiotic residues in liquid manure and leachate of dairy farms in Northern Germany

The scientific interest in the fate of antibiotic substances in the environment has increased during the past decades. Especially in animal husbandry, the assumed quantity of antibiotics excreted has caused major concerns as the environment can be contaminated by these compounds via different paths. In this study in Northern Germany, manure and leachate samples from dairy farms were analysed in order to verify if this kind of animal husbandry can be a source of antibiotic residues found in the environment. Neither in liquid manure nor in leachate were the analysed antibiotics detected. These results clearly show the minor importance of dairy cows as sources of antibiotic residues in the aquatic environment. To explain this fact, we propose the three following reasons: (i) the amount of antibiotics administered in dairy farming is low compared to pig or poultry production; (ii) manure storage is a useful process to minimize the antibiotic residues as the substances applied to dairy cows are sensitive to degradation processes during that period; (iii) excreted directly on grasslands, the substances degrade very quickly or adsorb to soil and are therefore not present in the leachate.     

How to maintain improved cultivars

Improved cultivars loose their identity and healthiness unless maintained properly. Contaminating and degrading forces, such as outcrossing, volunteer plants, mixing, natural selection, mutation and seed-borne diseases, are at the root of this. Maintenance selection can prevent this deterioration. How it is carried out depends on the reproduction system of the crop. Crops are therefore classified into four categories; typical cross-pollinating crops, self-pollinating crops with a substantial amount of outcrossing, typical self-pollinating crops with little outcrossing, and the vegetatively reproduced crops. Generally some of the “breeder seed” is used to plant a small plot with spaced plants. A fair number of healthy plants of the cultivar type is selected and the seed is harvested per plant. The progenies of the selected plants are grown in small plots. Non-uniform or deviating plots and plots with a seed-borne disease are removed. The seed of the progenies that are healthy, uniform and similar (and so of the cultivar type) are harvested per progeny to be tested next season on larger plots. The same selection is applied and only the seed of the progenies that are healthy, uniform and similar are harvested together to produce the “breeder seed”. The details of this maintenance selection vary with the reproduction system, the multiplication rate of the crop and the possibilities available to the breeder. Seven crops, potato, common bean, barley, wheat, faba bean, quinoa and maize are discussed here as they represent the different reproduction systems and multiplication rates, while being important Andean food crops.     

北京市平原农区深层地下水硝态氮污染状况研究

对北京市平原农区481眼深层井硝态氮含量进行了分析。结果表明,北京市平原农区深层地下水硝态氮(NO-3N)含量平均为5.74mgL-1,其中48.4%的调查机井受到人类活动的影响(NO-3N≥2mgL-1),21.0%的机井超过国际安全允许上限(NO-3N≥10mgL-1),8.1%的机井超过我国饮用水上限(NO-3N≥20mgL-1)。地下水位在120～200m的饮用水质量总体较好,硝态氮平均含量为5.16mgL-1,超标率为13.8%;而地下水位在70～100m的农灌水质量相对较差,硝态氮平均含量为5.98mgL-1,超标率为24.1%。近郊地下水质量劣于远郊,其中近郊饮用水超标率为38.7%,远郊为3.0%;近郊农灌水超标率为52.6%,远郊为15.3%。地下水硝态氮超标区域主要集中在老菜区。总体来看,北京市平原农区地下水硝态氮污染程度已超过欧美国家,必需及早采取有效措施加以控制。     

The river elbe

Industrial activities in the river basin of the Elbe have a very long tradition, and have been resulting in the contamination of sediments for centuries. Contamination lasted until the fall of the iron curtain; since then, the situation has improved significantly. In the transition zone between freshwater systems and the marine environment, ports like Hamburg still have to bear this burden of history. An overall (contaminated) management strategy should be developed in the context of the European Water Framework Directive with the emphasis on source control. Axel Netzband gave a keynote lecture during the SedNet Inaugural Conference, April 22–24, 2002, which forms the basis of this article.     

辽宁典型工矿区与污灌区土壤重金属污染状况及原因

对辽宁省几个典型工矿区以及污灌区土壤重金属污染状况进行调查研究,结果表明:调查区土壤重金属含量绝大多数高于土壤背景值,尤其工矿区附近土壤Cd、Pb、Cu和污灌区的Cd、Hg的污染状况应该引起足够的重视;重金属元素间存在着一定的伴生规律;土壤中重金属污染物主要来源于工矿开发、废岩、尾矿泥、大气飘尘以及污水灌溉等。     

高产农田土壤硝态氮淋失与地下水污染动态研究

对桓台县区域农田监测研究表明,水肥管理不同的2个监测区域郭家区、李家区高产农田土体内NO_3~--N淋失迁移动态有差异,地下水污染亦不同。春天始土体内NO_3~--N含量趋于持续降低,浅层地下水NO_3~--N含量则持续升高,雨季后地下水中NO_3~--N含量尤剧烈升高,并达年内最高值,表现出农田N肥对地下水的直接污染,这可能与李家区灌溉次数多、土壤质地较轻和地下水位较浅有关。     

芜湖市工业区土壤重金属污染状况研究

通过对芜湖工业区(四褐山区、马塘区)土壤中重金属污染状况的调查,结果表明:土壤中重金属(Cu、Pb、Zn、Cd)含量绝大部分高于土壤元素背景值。在四褐山工业区,Cu污染最严重,Cd次之;在马塘工业区,Cd污染最严重,Zn次之。土壤中重金属含量基本上与土壤pH呈负相关关系,而重金属总量与可浸提态含量呈正相关关系。土壤中重金属污染来源主要是污水,大气粉尘沉降也是一个重要因素。
