氯苯在飞灰表面低温生成二恶英的特性

以1,2,3-三氯苯作为前趋物,在管式炉中研究了其在垃圾焚烧飞灰表面低温生成二恶英的分布特性,运用高分辨气相色谱／低分辨质谱仪分别测定了气相和固相中的二恶英总量以及毒性当量I-TEQ值．实验结果表明, 250℃是1,2,3-三氯苯在飞灰表面生成二恶英的最佳温度,生成的二恶英主要分布在气相中,与五氯酚相比,氯苯属于反应活性低的二恶英前趋物．     

PCB pollution behaviour in the River Seine

The contamination of the River Seine (France) and its main tributaries (Yonne, Marne, Oise) have been studied, under different hydrological conditions, at the end of spring before the low watermark and at the beginning of autumn after the first swelling of flow.The sector under study consists of the Seine basin, centered on the Paris area; the variability of PCB concentration in water, apart from flow dependence, shows that important lateral discharges are involved. The pollution level is particularly noticeable at Paris and downstream from Paris and the median concentration in sediments reaches 3800 ng l⁻¹ (ppb). Data on particulate organic carbon and various grain size fractions show the PCB to be preferentially adsorbed on organic-rich sedimentary particles.Partition coefficients between particulate matter and liquid phase have been computed and show that the liquid phase has the main role in micropollutant transport.     

Acute non-cancer mortality excess after polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated dibenzofurans mixed exposure from contaminated rice oil: Yusho

In Japan in 1968, rice-oil contaminated by polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated dibenzofurans caused severe food poisoning, termed “Yusho” (oil disease). Several previous studies attempted to evaluate the effects targeting officially-certified Yusho patients. However, these studies have several limitations such as the left-truncated nature of the registry or residual confounding arising from the referent population selection. We thus conducted an area-based standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) study using vital statistics. A severely affected area (Tamanoura area) was adopted as the exposure group, with a reference population from Nagasaki prefecture in Kyushu, which included the Tamanoura. A large number of residents in Tamanoura were exposed to the rice-oil (28% of all the certified cases as of 2009). We estimated SMRs of non-cancer and cancer diseases for the years 1968-2002. Shortly after the exposure, SMRs of all causes, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, pneumonia/bronchitis, and bronchus/lung cancer were elevated. In particular, SMRs of heart disease were 1.97 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.09-3.56] in 1968, 2.05 (95% CI: 1.16-3.60) in 1969, and 1.89 (95% CI: 1.05-3.41) in 1975. However, we did not observe clear increase in SMRs more than 10 years after the exposure. This study provides further evidence in Yusho, especially on acute effects on non-cancer mortality.     

无机盐离子对鼠李糖脂增溶多氯联苯的影响研究

探讨了几种具代表性的无机盐离子对鼠李糖脂(RL)增溶2,2’,4,4’-四氯联苯的影响。结果表明,适当增加Na+、Mg2+、Ca2+的浓度对RL增溶2,2’,4,4’CB有显著的促进作用,且Mg2+的促进作用比Na+的大,但当Mg2+浓度大于0.8 mmol/L时,促进作用减弱。当Ca2+浓度超过0.2mmol/L时,RL开始产生沉淀,导致RL对2,2’,4,4’CB的增溶作用逐渐降低。无机阴离子对RL增溶2,2’,4,4’CB的影响很小。
