建立了吡虫啉、啶虫脒和噻虫嗪在土壤中的高效液相色谱-串联质谱（HPLC-MS/MS）检测方法。样品经乙腈提取和QuEChERS法净化后,采用HPLC-MS/MS检测,外标法定量,在0.01~1.0 mg/kg添加水平下,3种新烟碱类杀虫剂在土壤中的回收率在89%~103%之间,相对标准偏差（RSD）在1.3%~10.3%之间,定量限均为0.01 mg/kg。采用建立的方法,在室内模拟条件下,研究了土壤微生物、温度、土壤含水量及农药初始浓度对土壤中吡虫啉、啶虫脒和噻虫嗪降解的影响。结果表明:土壤微生物是影响农药残留降解的首要因素,灭菌处理土壤中农药残留降解速率明显低于非灭菌土壤。此外,环境温度、土壤含水量、初始浓度等因素也会对农药残留降解产生不同影响,土壤含水量为最大持水量的60%左右时降解最快,半衰期分别为15.6、7.2和25.8 d;农药初始浓度越高,降解速度越慢;在5~35℃范围内,随着温度的升高,降解速度加快。     

莠去津在土壤中的残留动态和淋溶动态

利用HPLC法对土壤中莠去津的残留动态、淋溶动态进行了研究。结果显示,莠去津以有效成分2.25 kg/hm2和4.50 kg/hm2的剂量施用时,在土壤中的半衰期分别为19.1 d和18.1 d,即其半衰期与莠去津的施用浓度无关,属于典型的一级动力学反应。在120 d的玉米生长期中,土壤中莠去津在不断降解代谢的同时,逐渐向深层土壤中淋溶,多数莠去津持留在表层土壤中。施用莠去津27 d后,高浓度处理小区莠去津的淋溶深度超过30 cm,深度为10~15 cm处的土壤在施用后27 d莠去津的浓度最大。同一土壤深度,莠去津在高浓度处理小区的残留量要远高于低浓度处理小区。这些结果显示,减小莠去津的用量可以减少莠去津在土壤中的移动,表明低剂量施用莠去津是保护地下水免受污染的一种有效措施。影响莠去津的淋溶作用的主要因素包括使用量和土壤的理化特性。

Bacterial biodegradation of ethoxylated surfactants

Agricultural, industrial and domestic use of surfactants leads to the entry of these compounds into terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Synthetic surfactants vary significantly in structure, but most consist of alkyl or alkylphenol groups attached to nonionic or anionic hydrophilic moieties. Continued use of these compounds is usually justified on the basis that they do not cause pollution problems because they undergo biodegradation by micro-organisms present in soils and surface waters. In accomplishing biodegradation, micro-organisms, predominantly bacteria, are exploiting these potentially useful resources of reduced carbon to derive energy and support growth in situations which are otherwise frequently oligotrophic. This paper reviews aspects of surfactant biodegradation, especially in relation to alcohol and alkylphenol ethoxylates used extensively as adjuvants for agrochemicals. In principle, bacteria can employ two strategies to gain access to the aliphatic chains in alcohol ethoxylate surfactants: separation of the hydrophobic chain from the hydrophile (central fission), or direct attack on the -terminal of the alkyl chain of the intact surfactant. Direct exo-cleavage of ethylene glycol units from the polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain also provides a third route to assimilable carbon. In pure cultures of known degraders or in mined environmental samples, all three strategies are exploited, some even within the same organism. Central fission occurs predominantly at the alkyl-ether bond, but may also occur within the PEG chain itself, thus producing various glycol intermediates which accumulate in pure cultures but appear only transiently in mixed environmental samples. Against this background, the relative resistance of some alkylphenol ethoxylates to biodegradation can be assessed in mechanistic terms. The steric bulk of the aryl nucleus effectively eliminates the central fission pathway. Moreover, some alkyl phenol ethoxylates contain branched alkyl chains which restrict ω-β-oxidation. As a result, ethoxylate shortening appears to be the major course of biodegradation observed so far. Not surprisingly, these surfactants are observed to undergo extensive primary biodegradation (removal of surfactant properties) but relatively restricted ultimate degradation to carbon dioxide and normal cell components.

The crucial role of calcium interacting with soil pH in enhanced biodegradation of metam-sodium

Enhanced biodegradation of soil-applied pesticides has long been correlated with soil pH above ca 6.5-7.5, but the possibility of confounding or interdependence with calcium, given that soil calcium concentration increases exponentially as pH rises above that range, has not previously been studied. Enhanced biodegradation of the broad-spectrum biocide metam-sodium was readily induced de novo in a naturally acid sandy soil (pH 4.2 measured in 0.01 M CaCl2) by multiple treatments, but only when the pH and calcium concentration were raised simultaneously using calcium carbonate (lime). Enhanced biodegradation was not induced when soil pH alone was raised with magnesium carbonate, nor when calcium alone was raised using calcium chloride. In limed sand treated monthly for 12 months, the degradation rate increased to where dissipation was complete within 24 h of application after the fifth metam-sodium treatment at pH 7.8 and after the eighth metam-sodium treatment at pH 6.8. Pesticide concentration was reduced, but not eliminated, at pH 5.8 and was unchanged at pH 4.8. When metam-sodium was applied bi- and tri-monthly, the degradation rate also increased when soil pH was raised with calcium carbonate, but to a lesser extent than with monthly applications. In an acid loam soil amended to the same pH values with calcium carbonate and treated monthly, there was no correlation between soil pH or calcium concentration and degradation. The results reveal the crucial interdependence of pH and calcium concentration in enhancement of biodegradation of soil-applied pesticides, but confirm that the phenomenon ultimately depends on interaction with soil type and frequency of application factors, all of which probably together act to affect the abundance, composition and activity of the soil microbial biomass.     

Environmental fate of mineral,vegetable and transesterified vegetable oils

Vegetable oils, synthetic esters (including transesterified oils) and mineral oils are the main classes of oil used in pesticide formulations. Biodegradation is a major route for the removal of oils from soil systems. Most of the oils used in pesticide formulations are degraded substantially in the laboratory tests that are used to assess aquatic biodegradability. The susceptibility of different oils to biodegradation can be explained in terms of the metabolic capacity of common microorganisms. Fewer soil biodegradability tests have been carried out with oils, but the available data suggest that the mode of degradation is not very different from that in aquatic systems. Supplements of inorganic nutrients (in particular nitrogen) are needed to stimulate microbial activity in soils containing the high concentrations of oil that can be encountered in the event of a spill. However, oils are applied at such low rates in pesticide form illations (maximum of 5g oil m^? soil) that nutrient availability is unlikely to affect the rate of biodegradation in the field.     

Aspects of the enhanced biodegradation and metabolism of ethoprophos in soil

Enhanced biodegradation of ethoprophos was evident in a soil from a previously treated field in Northern Greece. However, enhanced biodegradation was specific to ethoprophos and there was no cross‐enhancement leading to rapid degradation for any of the other organophosphorus (cadusafos, fenamiphos, fonofos, isazofos) or carbamate (aldicarb, oxamyl) nematicides registered in Greece for the control of potato cyst nematodes. Studies with radio‐labelled ethoprophos showed that the adapted microflora in the soil from the previously treated field was able to degrade [propyl‐1‐¹⁴C]ethoprophos rapidly and mineralized about 60% of the initially applied nematicide. When [ethyl‐1‐¹⁴C] ethoprophos was applied, the reduction in extractable radioactivity in the previously treated soil was coupled with evolution of lower amounts of [¹⁴C] carbon dioxide and was similar to the amounts produced from the previously untreated soils. It is suggested that degradation of ethoprophos in the soil from the previously treated field proceeds via hydrolysis of the P‐S bond in the ‐S‐propyl moiety of the ethoprophos molecule, which is then further mineralized by the adapted micro‐organisms. Enhanced biodegradation of ethoprophos in this specific previously treated soil in Northern Greece and under the local environmental conditions was still evident two years after the last ethoprophos field application. It appears that, once established, enhanced biodegradation of ethoprophos can be quite stable. A possible solution to this problem might be the introduction of a rotation scheme where other nematicides like fenamiphos, cadusafos, aldicarb or oxamyl are used as alternatives with ethoprophos application restricted to only once every three or four years. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry     

Catalytic effect of dissolved humic acids on the chemical degradation of phenylurea herbicides

BACKGROUND: Although biodegradation seems to be the main cause of herbicide degradation, abiotic degradation can also be important for chemicals such as phenylureas, which are subject to catalysed soil reactions. The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of dissolved humic acids (HAs), normally present in natural waters, on the hydrolysis of phenylurea herbicides, and it presents a kinetic model that takes into account the role of adsorption. RESULTS: The linearity of the adsorption isotherms indicates that phenylurea-humic acid interaction can be considered in terms of a repartition-like equilibrium of phenylurea between water and HAs. Kinetic experiments show that the degradation rates of phenylureas increase with HA concentration. CONCLUSION: The kinetic equation adopted adequately describes the experimental data trend, allowing the evaluation of the catalytic effect of HAs on the chemical degradation of phenylureas. Carboxyl groups of HAs seem to play a leading role in the catalysis. The kinetic equation derived in this work could be helpful in predicting the persistence of phenylureas and of related compounds in natural water.     

Growth-linked and cometabolic biodegradation: Possible reason for occurrence or absence of accelerated pesticide biodegradation

A study was conducted to relate the occurrence of accelerated pesticide biodegradation to the susceptibility of the pesticides to growth-linked degradation or cometabolism. The mineralization of 2,4-D was initially slow but then became rapid, and a second application was mineralized with no acclimation phase and more rapidly than the first. The numbers of 2,4-D-degrading micro-organisms increased markedly following its first application and then declined, but the population size increased after a second addition. Glyphosate was rapidly and extensively mineralized following the first and second applications to soil, and the abundance of organisms able to degrade it rose after the first addition and remained high before and following the second application. Propham (IPC) mineralization was detected only 15 days after its application but the degradation was rapid thereafter, and the second addition was rapidly and extensively mineralized with no acclimation phase. The population of propham-degrading micro-organisms was initially small, but increased markedy 10 days after the initial herbicide addition and was still large at the time of the second application. The rate of carbofuran biodegradation in the test soil was the same following the first and second applications, and the abundance of carbofuran-metabolizing microorganisms did not change appreciably as a result of soil treatment with the insecticide. Simazine mineralization was slow, although the rate was higher following the second addition; however, the number of simazine-degrading organisms did not increase appreciably. From 10 to 12% of the ¹⁴C from radiolabeled 2,4-D, propham, glyphosate or glucose was usually incorporated into the microbial biomass of soil but 0.82% or less of the ¹⁴C from simazine or ring- or carbonyl-labeled carbofuran was converted to biomass. It is suggested that pesticides that support microbial growth may be subject to accelerated biodegradation if the population remains large until the pesticide is applied again. Pesticides that do not support growth may not be subject to accelerated biodegradation.     

Potential for microbial diuron mineralisation in a small wine‐growing watershed: from treated plots to lotic receiver hydrosystem

BACKGROUND: Since biological degradation processes are known to be a major driver of the natural attenuation of pesticide residues in the environment, microbial communities adapted to pesticide biodegradation are likely to play a key environmental role in reducing pesticide exposure in contaminated ecosystems. The aim of this study was to assess the diuron‐mineralising potential of microbial communities at a small‐scale watershed level, including a diuron‐treated vineyard (pollution source), its associated grass buffer strip (as a river protection area against pesticide runoff) and the lotic receiver hydrosystem (sediments and epilithon), by using radiorespirometry. RESULTS: Comparison of results obtained at different sampling sites (in both soil and aquatic systems) revealed the importance of diuron exposure in the adaptation of microbial communities to rapid diuron mineralisation in the vineyard but also in the contaminated grass strip and in downstream epilithic biofilms and sediments. CONCLUSION: This study provides strong suggestive evidence for high diuron biodegradation potential throughout its course, from the pollution source to the final receiving hydrosystem, and suggests that, after microbial adaptation, grass strips may represent an effective environmental tool for mineralisation and attenuation of intercepted pesticides.
