清水灌溉在消除土壤多环芳烃中的作用及对土壤微生物特征的影响: 以沈抚灌区为例

To evaluate the effect of groundwater irrigation on the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) pollution abatement and soil microbial characteristics,a case study was performed in the Shenfu irrigation area of Shenyang,Northeast China,where the irrigation with petroleum wastewater had lasted for more than fifty years,and then groundwater irrigation instead of wastewater irrigation was applied due to the gradually serious PAHs pollution in soil.Soil chemical properties,including PAHs and nutrients contents,and soil microbial characteristics,including microbial biomass carbon,substrateinduced respiration,microbial quotient(qM),metabolic quotient(qCO2),dehydrogenase(DH),polyphenol oxidase(PO),urease(UR) and cellulase(CE) in surface and subsurface were determined.Total organic C,total N,total P,and available K were significantly different between the sites studied.The PAHs concentrations ranged from 610.9 to 6362.8 μg kg-1 in the surface layers(0-20 cm) and from 404.6 to 4318.5 μg kg-1 in the subsurface layers(20-40 cm).From the principal component analysis,the first principal component was primarily weighed by total PAHs,total organic C,total N,total P and available K,and it was the main factor that influencing the soil microbial characteristics.Among the tested microbial characteristics,DH,PO,UR,CE,qM and qCO2 were more sensitive to the PAHs stress than the others,thus they could serve as useful ecological assessment indicators for soil PAHs pollution.     

丛枝菌根真菌对紫花苜蓿吸收菲和芘的影响

采用横式三隔室盆栽试验方法,研究了丛枝菌根真菌（AMF）根内球囊霉（Glomus intraradices,G.i）对紫花苜蓿（Medicago sativaL.）吸收土壤中菲和芘的影响。结果表明：G.i可与紫花苜蓿形成良好的共生体,侵染率平均达61.20%,不同强度菲和芘污染对G.i菌根侵染率的影响差异不显著;接种G.i的植株根系干重增加59.08%。接种G.i增加了根系和茎叶中菲和芘的含量及积累量,根系和茎叶中菲积累量与其生物量（干重计）间呈显著正相关;与菲相比,接种G.i处理后植株芘含量和积累量的增幅更大。G.i限制了菲和芘从植株根系向茎叶的传输,对芘尤为明显,接种G.i植株根系向茎叶转运芘的比例比不接种对照降低了13.85%～37.47%。     

淀粉对无芒雀麦修复煤矿区多环芳烃长期污染土壤的影响

采用温室盆栽试验,以无芒雀麦(W)为修复植物,研究淀粉(D)不同剂量与无芒雀麦组合对煤矿区多环芳烃(PAHs)长期污染农田土壤修复的影响。结果表明,在土壤中添加淀粉剂量D1、D2培养3个月后,显著促进了土著微生物对煤矿区长期污染农田土壤PAHs的降解。D1、D2处理土壤中16种PAHs总量降解率(16.82%,19.06%)分别比对照CK(11.12%)提高了51.26%和71.40%,尤其对6环PAHs的降解增效最为突出。D2处理对6环PAHs的降解达最高,为37.05%,比CK处理提高了241.01%,且为D1处理的1.77倍。在污染土壤中添加淀粉并种植无芒雀麦(D1+W,D2+W)后,与对照CK、淀粉(D)和种植无芒雀麦单一处理(W)相比,土壤中16种PAHs总量降解率有了明显增加,D1+W与D2+W处理下16种PAHs降解率分别为26.26%和28.39%;在PAHs不同环数中对5,6环PAHs的修复效果提升最为明显,对其它环数PAHs降解效果提升不显著,其中5环和6环PAHs降解率在D2+W组合处理下达到最高,为48.63%和58.32%,比CK处理提高了110.36%和436.82%,比无芒雀麦单一处理提高了27.50%和47.77%。从土壤酶活性角度,淀粉、无芒雀麦单一处理及其组合下的土壤过氧化氢酶活性差异不明显,但均显著高于对照CK处理;无芒雀麦对多酚氧化酶活性有明显的激活作用,且与淀粉组合进一步显著提升了该酶的活性,与D1+W与D2+W组合下的5,6环PAHs降解率达最高相一致。综上,利用淀粉与无芒雀麦的优化组合形式能明显提升煤矿区5,6环PAHs长期污染农田土壤的修复效果,可以作为该区污染土壤修复治理的一种选择。     

苏南某焦化厂场地土壤和地下水特征污染物分布规律研究

以苏南某焦化厂为研究对象,在对污染区域初步识别的基础上,采集了0～4.5 m深的22个土壤样品和2个地下水样品,利用GC/MS等检测了多环芳烃类、总石油烃、苯系物、重金属,总氰化物、挥发酚、硫化物的含量,并研究了其在不同功能区土壤和地下水中的特征分布。结果表明：（1）该焦化场土壤和地下水受到了不同程度的污染,其中炼焦炉周边、焦油和洗油储罐区、焦油和粗苯加工车间是污染最严重的区域;（2）土壤中主要超标污染物是多环芳烃、总氰化物、总石油烃、单环芳香烃、二苯呋喃、苯胺、硫化物、挥发酚和一些苯酚类化合物;（3）地下水重点污染区域粗苯车间受到总氰化物、苯胺、苯酚类、萘、总石油烃、单环芳香烃的严重污染,污水处理站区域地下水主要污染物包括总氰化物、萘、总石油烃、苯。     

丛枝菌根对菲芘污染土壤中几种酶活性的影响

采用温室盆栽试验方法,研究了丛枝菌根真菌（AMF）Glomus mosseae和Glomus etunicatum对菲芘复合污染土壤中3种酶活性的影响。宿主植物为三叶草（Trifolium repens L.）和黑麦草（Lolium multiflorum Lam）。土样中菲和芘起始浓度分别为203.4mg·kg^-1和107.5mg·kg^-1。结果表明,植物增加了土壤多酚氧化酶、酸性磷酸酶和过氧化氢酶活性。接种Glomus mosseae和Glomus etunicatum使三叶草根际土壤多酚氧化酶活性20-60d分别增加19.6%-72.0%和29.7%-90.6%,过氧化氢酶活性分别增加3.3%-12.2%和7.8%-34.7%,酸性磷酸酶活性总体呈增加趋势;接种Glomus mosseae使黑麦草根际多酚氧化酶活性增加18.0%-43.1%,过氧化氢酶活性总体上呈降低趋势,酸性磷酸酶活性先升高后降低。供试的两种AMF对三叶草根际酸性磷酸酶和过氧化氢酶活性的影响30d前有显著差异。AM真菌作用的性质与宿主植物特性有关。     

丛枝菌根对芘污染土壤修复及植物吸收的影响

采用温室盆栽试验方法,研究了两种丛枝菌根真菌Glomus mosseae和 Glomus etunicatum对三叶草(Trifolium subterraneum L.)和辣椒（Capsicum annuum L.）修复芘污染土壤的影响。供试土样中芘初始浓度为0 ~ 75.18 mg/kg。结果表明,接种AMF可促进供试植物对土壤中芘的吸收,并且显著提高三叶草根的芘含量、根系富集系数、根和茎叶的芘积累量,但对辣椒根和茎叶芘含量、根系富集系数的影响不显著,这主要与植物的菌根侵染率和“菌根依赖度”不同有关。接种AMF土壤中芘的削减率高于普通植物修复,但植物吸收积累对修复的贡献率小于0.2%;因此推测,AM作用下良好的根际环境对土壤微生物数量和活性的提高、进而对土壤中芘降解的促进可能是菌根修复的主要机理。     

煤矸石山废弃地不同植物复垦措施及其对土壤化学性质的影响

Study of cadmium (Cd)-induced oxidative stress in Eisenia fetida based on mathematical modelling

As a sensitive biological indicator, earthworms are widely used to monitor various pollutants of soil and provide an early warning for soil pollution. However, because many indices are involved in the exposure-induced oxidative stress response, practical applications of these indices are quite inconvenient. Therefore, it is appropriate to investigate the key monitoring index for use in early warning and pollution monitoring. Using Eisenia fetida as an experimental model in an indoor simulation experiment, the mathematical modelling of the effect on oxidative stress in earthworms under cadmium (Cd) stress was studied. The test lasted 40 d, with the removal of one earthworm every 10 d. The Cd²⁺ concentration gradient was set as 0, 1, 10, 20, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg kg^-1 dry weight. The earthworms were divided into two sections from the clitellum for the determination of total protein (TP) and peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities. Results showed that POD was the key index of oxidative stress in head tissues after 10 d of exposure, TP was the key index at 20 d, and POD became the key index again at 30 and 40 d. By contrast, in tail tissues, MDA and SOD were the key indices at an exposure time of 10 d, GPX at 20 d, CAT and TP at 30 d, and POD and MDA at 40 d. These results contribute to establishing a scientific method for ecotoxicological diagnosis and revealing the mechanism of soil Cd toxicity.     

Occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the estuarine sediments of the Taihu Lake and their associated toxic effects on aquatic organisms

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous toxic organic pollutants in the natural environment that are strongly associated with socioeconomic activities. Exploring the distribution, sources, and ecological toxicity of PAHs is essential to abate their pollution and biological risks. The 16 priority PAHs in different lakeside city estuarine sediments in the northern Taihu Lake in China were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results showed that total concentrations...     

Remediation of contaminated soil using soil washing and biopile methodologies at a field level

Background, Aims and Scope  An out-of-service oil distribution and storage station (ODSS), which operated from 1966 to 2000 in Mexico, is contaminated mainly by gasoline and diesel, showing the presence of methyl-tert-butyl-ether, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes. Nine of the 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were found, as well as Fe, Pb, V, and Zn. The health risk assessment suggested the necessity of reducing of three PAHs [benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo-(b)fluoranthene], and vanadium. The aim of this work is to show that soil washing (on-site) and biopiles are excellent remediation methodologies to treat soils contaminated with petroleum derivates and metals. Applying them, it is possible to reach the goal value of 2,000 mg TPH/kg in a few months, as requested by Mexican legislation. Methods  More than 140 m³ were excavated from the ODSS. Three soil-washing dishes were built. 1540 m³ were treated by soil washing using a nonionic surfactant. A 100 m³ biopile was built to study the system capabilities in the biodegradation of around 4,500 mg/kg of TPH using the autochthonous microflora. Results and Discussion  The soil washing, average TPH-removal value was 83%, but values up to ca. 93% were observed. Removal values resulted in a function of the TPH initial values. Biopile (100 m³) worked during 66 days, reaching a TPH-removal value of 85%. At the end of the processes, no PAHs were detected. The contaminated soil was treated successfully, reaching the legislation limits (TPH values under 2,000 mg/kg, and a significant reduction in PAH concentrations). Conclusion and Recommendation  Both systems are suitable for remediation purposes, achieving high removal efficiencies at short and medium stages. It is highly recommended to proceed with soil washing studies, identifying new products, and mixtures, which could reduce costs and assure optimum operation.     

Impact of land use changes on soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus and water pollution in an arid region of northwest China

Abstract. Physical, chemical and environmental consequences of land use change from cultivated land to desert grassland and vice-versa were monitored in the middle reaches of the Heihe River basin, which is one of the largest inland basins of arid northwest China. Levels of N and P in soils and surface waters and soil organic carbon were measured. After the first 3–5 years of cultivation the N and P contents of various former grassland soils, including mountain-meadow and plains-meadow grasslands, decreased significantly. After some 13 years of cultivation, soil nutrient content in former mountain meadow grasslands gradually stabilized, whereas those of desertified grassland, where cultivation had simply been abandoned, showed a notable decrease. Under these latter conditions, soil N and P were lost at a rate of 276 kg ha⁻¹ and 360 kg ha⁻¹, respectively, over the 13-year period. The transformation of grassland into cultivated land and that of cultivated land into desert grassland resulted in organic carbon emissions of 1.68 Tg C and 0.55 Tg C, respectively, over 13 years. Land use changes in the arid inland region clearly have a significant influence on the soil organic carbon pool and carbon cycle. Falls in soil N and P led to 63% and 34% mean enrichment of N and P, respectively, in downstream waters, thus posing a future environmental problem for the arid region of northwest China.     

磷改良剂对中度和高度含碳酸盐的菜园土壤中Cd和Pb环境有效性和植物有效性的影响

The behaviour of metals mainly depends on soil p H, carbonate contents and contamination level, which should be considered for the management of contaminated soils. In this study, kitchen garden topsoils(0–25 cm) were sampled from the area around three smelters in France, with different Cd and Pb contamination levels. Effect of a phosphate amendment(a mixture of diammonium phosphate and hydroxyapatite) on the environmental availability and phytoavailability of Cd and Pb was evaluated by different chemical extractions and cultivating lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.), respectively. Changes in the distribution of Cd and Pb were found in most contaminated soils after phosphate amendment. An increase of Cd and Pb in the residual phase was highlighted in almost all carbonated contaminated soils, whereas a decrease of Pb in the exchangeable, water and acid-soluble phase was observed in most contaminated soils with the lowest carbonate contents. The concentrations of extractable Cd and Pb using calcium chloride and acetic and citric acids generally decreased after the soil amendment. Lettuces grown on amended soils were acceptable for human consumption as regard to Pb concentration. In contrast, some lettuces were unacceptable for human consumption, since the concentrations of Cd in the leaves were higher than the European legislation limit. Surprisingly, in carbonated soils with very low concentration of Cd, the Cd concentrations in lettuce reached up to the European legislation limit, making the lettuce unacceptable for human consumption.Our study highlighted the fact that the total metal concentration in soils does not always allow to predict the metal accumulation in the edible parts of vegetables in order to make a judgement about their acceptability or unacceptability for human consumption.     

退耕还果对黄土高原沟壑区坡地土壤和植被碳、氮储量的影响

土地利用方式变化是影响陆地生态系统碳储量的重要因素。试验以黄土高原沟壑区王东沟小流域杜家坪坡地果园和邻近农田为对象,分析了坡地退耕还果20年后,地上植被生物量、地下根系生物量以及0100 cm土层有机碳氮储量的变化及其影响因素。结果表明,坡地果园0100 cm土层有机碳（SOC）储量为C 50.7 Mg/hm2 低于农田（C 57.3 Mg/hm2）,但020cm土层,果园SOC储量为C 16.7 Mg/hm2高于农田（C 15.3 Mg/hm2）,增幅为9.2%;而在20100cm土层,SOC含量基本呈现出农田果园的趋势。果园土壤1m剖面各层次全氮（TN）含量都低于农田,但未达到显著水平。农田退耕为果园20年后,坡地果园植株和根系碳储量（C 19.7Mg/hm2）、氮储量（N 165.9 kg/hm2）约为农田作物（C 3.4 Mg/hm2、N96.8kg/hm2）的5.8和1.7倍。果树主干、枝条和根部的新增生物量是导致果园生态系统碳、氮储量积累的主要因素。
