Competitive solid phase enzyme immunoassays using polyclonal antibodies were developed for the detection of the phenoxycaboxylic acids MCPB [4-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)butyric acid], Mecoprop [2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid], and 2,4-D [(2,4-dichloro-phenoxy)acetic acid] in drinking water and ground water. The carrier protein for the immunization was bovine serum albumin, horseradish peroxidase conjugates were employed as enzyme tracer. For the three antisera, the optimization of detection limits and test sensitivities was our first consideration. For the mecoprop and 2,4-D antisera, the strongest influences were the pH value and the ionic strength, as much as the use of enzyme tracers with lower affinities. The MCPB antiserum reacted with 2,4-DB[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butyric acid] with equal specificity, either could be detected at 0.02 μg/L (80% B/B0), middle of the test (50 B/B0) lying at 0.1 μg/L. The detection limit with mecoprop antiserum was optimized to 0.02 μg/L, the prescribed limit for drinking water of 0.1 μg/L ling at 60 % B/B0. The strongest cross-reactivity was found for mecoprop methyl ester. MCPB. 2,4-DB, and dichloroprop have crossreactivities of 50%, 6.7%, and 6.3%, respectively. The 2,4-D antiserum reacts less sensitively with 2,4-D, the detection limit being 0.4 μg/L. The 2,4-D isooctyl ester and 2,4-D methyl ester demonstrate as cross-reacting compounds high cross-reactivites of 3630% and 2230%. The cross-reactions of the compounds 2,4-DB, MCPB, and MCPA [(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid] lie at 52%, 69%, and 41%. 100 ground water tests were spiked within laboratory. All positive samples were correctly identified. Falsely negative results did not appear.  相似文献

Application of an Enzyme Immunoassay for the Detection of Mecoprop in a Ground water Screening Procedure A competitive solid-phase enzyme immunoassay based on rabbit polyclonal antibodies was tested for its reliability. This assay, used for the detection of the phenoxycarboxylic acid mecoprop [2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy-)propionic acid], has already been characterized in terms of middle of the test (0.36 μg/L at 50% B/B0) and detection limit (0.06 μg/L at 80% B/B0) by Weber (Acta hydrochim. hydrobiol. 22, 53–59 (1994)). For the reliability test, a small number from a batch of one hundred groundwater samples were spiked. The analyst was neither aware of which nor of how many samples were spiked. The spiked samples were all detected as positive. There were no false negative results. From these findings, values of 1 were obtained for the diagnostic sensitivity and for the diagnostic specificity. Based on these results, the mecoprop contents of 228 groundwater samples from various waterlevel gauges of a test field were determined. The test site had previously been treated repeatedly with this herbicide. Confirmation of the enzyme immunoassay results was carried out by GC/MS. This showed that the enzyme immunoassay gave one false positive result only. All other results from immunoassay and GC/MS showed good correlation.  相似文献

A highly sensitive and specific enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is described for the detection of the atrazine metabolite hydroxyatrazine. Polyclonal antibodies were raised in rabbits by immunization with a hapten-bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugate containing 8 hapten residues per molecule of BSA. An EIA with a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) hapten tracer was optimized in microtitre plates. A concentration of 50% B/B0 was found at 0.10 μg/L for hydroxyatrazine. A limit of determination for hydroxyatrazine was reached at approximately 0.01 μg/L, i.e. well below the maximum concentration permitted by the EU guidelines for drinking water and the drinking water ordinance of the FRG. The assay did not require concentration or clean-up steps for drinking water or ground water samples. Validation experiments confirmed a good accuracy and precision. Hydroxyatrazine is reported to be the main atrazine metabolite found in soil samples. As organic solvents are usually employed for soil extraction, the influence of methanol as representative organic solvent on the assay was examined. Up to a concentration of 5% (v/v) methanol, the organic solvent did not affect the assay.  相似文献

The performance of an existing enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with monoclonal antibodies (mAb) for the determination of terbutryn was improved by the application of a new enzyme tracer. For this purpose the triazine derivative 6-chloro-2-(tert-butylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-4-(6-aminohexane carboxylic acid) was coupled to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The competitive EIA on microwell plates made it possible to determine terbutryn in the range from 0.05 to 1 μg/L with a 50% B/B0 value of the test at 0.2 μg/L. The application of the EIA to determine terbutryn in spiked surface waters provided good recoveries of terbutryn without matrix effects.  相似文献

110 samples from two swimming-pools were gas-chromatographically investigated for halogenated hydrocarbons. In spite of varying chlorine concentrations between 0.1 and 2.5 mg/l Cl2 the bacteriological results were unobjectionable. The total of the haloforms was between 1.2 and 182 μg/l, with the average value of 90 μg/l. Besides CHCl3, CHBrCl2, CHBr2Cl and CCl3NO2 there were observed other, still unidentified compounds in the chlorinated bathing water which clearly are successive products of disinfection, too. The water treatment by flocculation and filtration does not bring about any elimination of trihalomethanes. Of special importance is the occurrence of trichloronitromethane in concentrations of 0.13 … 1.2 μg/l, whose LC50 in the Daphnia test is 189 μg/l, at a threshold concentration of 160 μg/l. To limit the pollution of water and air to a minimum, specific conditions must be adhered to in the operation of indoor swimming-pools.  相似文献

Several polar contaminants were found in screening analyses of 30 representative surface water samples collected from rivers, lakes, and canals in Berlin. Residues of pharmaceuticals and N-(phenylsulfonyl)-sarcosine originating from various sewage treatment plants effluents were found at concentrations up to the μg/L-level in the surface water, whereas the concentrations of polar pesticides such as dichlorprop and mecoprop were always below 0.1 μg/L. The pharmaceuticals most frequently detected in the surface water samples include clofibric acid, diclofenac, ibuprofen, propiphenazone, and two other drug metabolites. Additional investigations of groundwater wells of a drinking water plant have shown that polar contaminants such as drug residues or N-(phenylsulfonyl)-sarcosine easily leach through the subsoil into the groundwater aquifers when contaminated surface water is used for groundwater recharge in drinking water production.  相似文献

Rain and surface water samples from Southern Germany were investigated from 1991 to 1995 for terbuthylazine and one of its major metabolites, deethylterbuthylazine. The concentrations observed were compared to the concentrations found for atrazine and deethylatrazine in the same water samples. Concentrations ranged from < 0.02 μg/L to 0.7 μg/L for terbuthylazine and from < 0.02 μg/L to 0.6 μg/L for deethylterbuthylazine, compared to concentrations of < 0.02 μg/L to 3 μg/L and < 0.02 μg/L to 0.5 μg/L for atrazine and deethylatrazine, respectively. The ratios of metabolite concentrations to parent compound concentrations were calculated for deethylterbuthylazine to terbuthylazine (DTR) and deethylatrazine to atrazine (DAR). In rain water, DTR of 0.8…3.0 and DAR of 0.3… 1.9 were determined with mean values of 0.9… 1.7 for DTR and 0.6…0.9 for DAR in the different years. The ratios increased during summer periods. The highest ratios were observed in samples from forest stands, showing that degradation of the herbicide has occurred during transport between the source and the sampling site. The DTR in rain water were about 50… 100% higher than the DAR. This indicates a higher degradation rate of terbuthylazine during atmospheric transport. In surface water, DTR of 0.3… 1.2 with mean values of 0.5…0.8 and DAR of 0.2…2.2 with mean values of 0.2… 1.3 were observed. The ratios increased from June to September.  相似文献

Determination of Atrazine, Terbutylazine and their Deethyl- and Hydroxymetabolites in Soil by SFE and HPLC/UV-DAD The supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) (CO2 and CH3OH as modifier) of the herbicides atrazine and terbutylazine as well as their deethyl- and hydroxymetabolites from soil was investigated. The analytes were determined after extraction by HPLC/UV-DAD using a C18 column. The limits of detection of the chromatographic step were between 0.01 μg/mL and 0.07 μg/mL, the relative standard deviations between 0.8% and 1.4%. With the aid of a control chart, the stability of the chromatographic system was evaluated. For extraction, soil was spiked with 5 μg/g for each component. For SFE, CO2 and methanol as modifier were used, and a pressure program was applied. Beside SFE, Soxhlet extraction with methanol and a solid-liquid extraction with acetone/water by shaking were carried out. For chlorine-containing triazines, the recovery rates were comparable for all extraction methods. The following recovery rates for SFE were obtained: deethylterbutylazine 77.4%, terbutylazine 80.2%, deethylatrazine 87.4%, atrazine 92.6%. However, the recovery rates for the hydroxymetabolites (4.1% for hydroxyatrazine, 21% for hydroxyterbutylazine) were not satisfying compared with the “classical” methods of extraction (above 50%). The limits of detection for the total process (SFE and HPLC/UV-DAD) estimated by the signal to noise ratio amounted 0.08 μg/g soil for chlorine-containing derivates, for hydroxyatrazine 2…3 μg/g, and for hydroxyterbutylazine 0.8 μ/g.  相似文献

The photocatalytic decolorization and mineralization of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye in presence of TiO2 Degussa P25 has been studied using artificial light radiation in a shallow pond slurry reactor. The equilibrium adsorption of dye, influence of pH (3–11), catalyst load (0.5–3.0 g/L), and dye concentration (20–100 mg/L) on decolorization kinetics were studied. The effect of area to volume ratio of photoreactor on decolorization kinetics has been also studied. Mineralization studies were performed at optimized conditions of pH (3) and catalyst load (1.5 g/L). The maximum adsorption (26.5 mg/g) of dye was found to occur at pH 3. The apparent pseudo first order decolorization rate constant (kapp) value followed the order pH 3 > pH 11 > pH 9 > pH 7. As compared to available literature reduction in total organic carbon (TOC) was minimal by the time there was complete decolorization. Initial reduction in TOC was followed by subsequent increasing trend till complete decolorization. Final decreasing trend in TOC was observed only after complete decolorization. Twelve hours of treatment under experimental conditions reduced TOC content by 70% only. Discussion of results suggest that photocatalytic treatment of colored effluent under low UV intensity, and low A/V ratio may result in completely decolorized effluent but still having high COD.  相似文献

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed with 17β‐estradiol (E2) and nonylphenol (NP) in different concentrations. Gene expression analysis was carried out by two different approaches. First, RT‐PCR experiments were performed for the examination of expression levels of the two marker genes vitellogenin and aromatase. This approach showed a significant increase in the expression of the vitellogenin gene in exposed male fish (500 ng/L 17β‐estradiol and 250 μg/L nonylphenol). This egg yolk protein is usually not synthesized in male vertebrates. A slight decrease of expression of the aromatase gene was observed in exposed female zebrafish. Aromatase is known to catalyze the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Second, DNA microarray experiments were carried out, which allow the simultaneous examination of the expression levels of a great number of marker genes. The microarray experiments resulted in an up‐regulation of vitellogenin up to 850‐fold. In addition, several other genes were identified to be up‐regulated by estrogens, for example the high mobility group box protein ssrp1 (78‐fold) or the chaperonin containing t‐complex polypeptide 1, beta subunit cctb (22‐fold).  相似文献

Comparative studies of the use of chlorine/ultraviolet (Cl2/UV) and hydrogen peroxide/ultraviolet (H2O2/UV) Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to remove trichloroethylene (TCE) from groundwater in a pump‐and‐treat application were conducted for the first time at the full‐scale operational level at two water treatment facilities in Northern California. In these studies, aqueous chlorine replaced hydrogen peroxide in the AOP treatment step, where the oxidant is exposed to UV light to produce highly reactive radical species that degrade groundwater contaminants. TCE removal rates as a function of initial chlorine dose and pH were then determined. At the site where the natural pH of the water was 7.1, TCE was removed (to a concentration of less than 0.5 µg/L) for nearly every chlorine dose point tested, and pH adjustment slightly enhanced the treatment process at this facility. The second site had a high natural pH of 7.7, and here, TCE was not completely removed for any chlorine dose up to 5.7 mg/L, although TCE removal did increase when the chlorine dose increased between 0.9 and 3.6 mg/L. Residual TCE remaining in the water post‐Cl2/UV was readily removed using active carbon filtration, which is part of the overall treatment train at this facility. These studies also verified that Cl2/UV AOP did not interfere with the photolysis of N‐nitrosodimethylamine or result in an effluent acutely toxic toward Ceriodaphnia dubia. Comparative economic analysis revealed that the chemical costs associated with Cl2/UV AOP were 25 to 50% of the costs associated with in place H2O2/UV AOP treatment.  相似文献

The toxicity of Na-pentachlorophenate to Viviparus bengalensis is investigated by batch tests with daily exchange of medium in the temperature range between 19 °C (February), 27 °C (April), 32 °C (June) and 30 °C (August) at times of exposure between 12 and 96 h. In the range of higher concentrations, pronounced abnormalities in behaviour by secreting mucus and discharging eggs and embryos occur. The LC50 are lowest for all times of exposure at 27 °C, whereas the times of survival with a given concentration are highest at 30 °C. From the LC50, 96h, 27°C = 66 μg/l results a safe concentration of only 47 μg/l Na-pentachlorophenate for Viviparus bengalensis.  相似文献

In this study, the adsorption of reactive red 120 (RR 120) on pistachio husk, and the modeling of the adsorption was investigated. Characterization of the pistachio husk was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The pHzpc of pistachio husk was found to be pH 8.5. Increasing the initial pH value decreased (p < 0.01) the amount of dye adsorbed. However, increasing the initial dye concentration from 50 to 900 mg/L at pH 1 increased (p < 0.01) the equilibrium dye uptake from 20.83 to 182.10 mg/g. Results indicated that this adsorbent had great potential for the removal of RR 120 dye. The logistic model was found to be the most suitable of the kinetic and equilibrium models tested to describe the adsorption of the dye. The parameters determined from the logistic model were well correlated with the initial dye concentration, and were seen to increase with the increasing initial dye concentration, but this was not observed from pseudo‐second order kinetics.  相似文献

Urban populations are exposed to a high level of fine and ultrafine particles from motor vehicle emissions which affect human health. To assess the hourly variation of fine particle (PM2.5) concentration and the influence of temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the ambient air of Lucknow city, monitoring of PM2.5 along with temperature and RH was carried out at two residential locations, namely Vikas Nagar and Alambagh, during November 2005. The 24 h mean PM2.5 concentration at Alambagh was 131.74 μg/m3 and showed an increase of 13.74%, which was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the Vikas Nagar level. The 24 h mean PM2.5 on weekdays for both locations was found to be 142.74 μg/m3 (an increase of 66.23%) which was significantly higher (p < 0.01) than the weekend value, indicating that vehicular pollution is one of the important sources of PM2.5. The mean PM2.5 at night for all the monitoring days was 157.69 μg/m3 and was significantly higher (p < 0.01) than the daytime concentration (89.87 μg/m3). Correlation and multiple regressions showed that the independent variables, i. e., time, temperature, and RH together accounted for 54%, whereas RH alone accounted for 53% of total variations of PM2.5, suggesting that RH is the best influencing variable to predict the PM2.5 concentration in the urban area of Lucknow city. The 24 h mean PM2.5 for all the monitoring days was found to be higher than the NAAQS recommended by the US‐EPA (65 μg/m3) and can be considered to be an alarming indicator of adverse health effects for city dwellers.  相似文献

The decomposition of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) in water using a UV/H2O2/micro‐aeration process was investigated in this paper. DCAA cannot be removed by UV radiation, H2O2 oxidation or micro‐aeration alone, while UV/H2O2/micro‐aeration combination processes have proved effective and can degrade this compound completely. With initial concentrations of about 110 μg/L, more than 95.1% of DCAA can be removed in 180 min under UV intensity of 1048.7 μW/cm2, H2O2 dosage of 30 mg/L and micro‐aeration flow rate of 2 L/min. However, more than 30 μg/L of DCAA was left after 180 min by UV/H2O2 combination process without micro‐aeration with the same UV intensity and H2O2 dosage. The effects of applied UV radiation intensity, H2O2 dose, initial DCAA concentration and pH on the degradation of DCAA have been examined in this study. Degradation mechanisms of DCAA with hydroxyl radical oxidation have been discussed. The removal rate of DCAA was sensitive to operational parameters. There was a linear relationship between rate constant k and UV intensity and initial H2O2 concentration, which indicated that a higher removal capacity can be achieved by improvement of both factors. A newly found nitrogenous disinfection by‐product (N‐DBP)‐DCAcAm, which has the potential to form DCAA, was easier to remove than DCAA by UV/H2O2 and UV/H2O2/micro‐aeration processes. Finally, a preliminary cost comparison revealed that the UV/H2O2/micro‐aeration process was more cost‐effective than the UV/H2O2 process in the removal of DCAA from drinking water.  相似文献

AOX‐formation by the Sonochemical Treatment of Salicylic Acid in Presence of Chloride Ultrasound shows great potential for improving water, wastewater and sludge treatment processes. However, a number of questions exist: for example the influence of suspended solids or salts. In this paper the influence of chloride in view of AOX‐formation should be investigated. As organic model compound salicylic acid (0.05…1 mmol/L) was used. Formation of AOX (adsorbable organically bound halogens) was measured in dependence upon chloride concentrations (1.4…141 mmol/L) and pH 2 and 9. Ultrasound irradiation was performed in glass reactor (500 mL) at 206 kHz and 353 kHz by continuous bubbling argon:oxgen (4:1) at a flow rate of 1 L/min into the solutions. The elimination of salicylic acid and the formation of hydrogen peroxide were not influenced by the presence of chloride (up to 56 mmol/L). The rate of salicylic acid elimination and the formation rate of hydrogen peroxide are at concentrations of mmol/(L min) levels but those of AOX formation of μmol/(L min) levels. The reactions leading to chlorinated by‐products can be seen as minor reaction paths. The yield of AOX depending on frequency, pH and chloride concentration lies between 10 μg/L and 900 μg/L. In acidic medium they were twice as high as in basic medium. Below the ratio chloride : salicylic acid of 2 mol/mol, AOX could not be identified.  相似文献

In the batch experiment with daily exchange of medium the acute toxicity of Ag from AgNO3 to Channa punctatus, Lebistes reticulatus and Puntius sophore is determined over 12 to 96 h exposure. In general, the sensitivity of species increases in the order mentioned. The LC50, 96h are 18.89 μg/l Ag for Channa punctatus, 7.55 μg/l Ag for Puntius sophore and 6.44 μg/l for Lebistes reticulatus. For 12 and 48 h exposure the values in the same order of species are: 62 and 30, 44 and 14 as well as 57 and 16 μg/l Ag.  相似文献

The first outcomes of the national monitoring program on cyanobacteria and their toxins in the Czech Republic are reported. The concentrations of extracellular microcystins (MCs, analyzed by ELISA) in 206 water samples collected from 94 localities have been investigated. Observed MC concentrations were relatively high in comparison with the literature data, although weather conditions during the covered season (year 2004) were less favorable for the cyanobacterial water blooms. Detectable MCs (>0.125 μg/L) were found in 145 waters (70% of all samples) with a median concentration of 0.67 μg/L. The total median, including samples with no detectable MCs, was 0.26 μg/L. The seasonal trend showed an increase from July to September at most localities (maximum concentrations of about 8 μg/L and extremes up to 37 μg/L). However, a peak at the beginning of the season or continuously elevated MC concentrations were also observed at some localities. Positive correlations between increasing concentrations of MCs and the dominancy of Microcystis spp. have been observed. The survey provides the first large-scale study of the occurrence and seasonal variability of extracellular microcystins that are of particular interest for drinking water management.  相似文献

Assessment and Modification of Arsenic Mobility in Contaminated Soil Arsenic concentration in the seepage of contaminated soils of an old tannery site is assessed using batch and column experiments. The effect of reducing conditions, pH, and ionic strength is also investigated. The iron oxide rich subsoil (C‐horizon) is the main source of groundwater pollution with arsenic. In this horizon, mobilization can increase as a result of reducing conditions upon periodical water saturation. Therefore, the potentially mobile arsenic is determined by a reductive dissolution of the poorly crystalline iron oxide fraction using 0.1 M ascorbic acid. Arsenic concentration can be reduced from 100 μg/L to below 20 μg/L by an increase of ionic strength (e.g. by a 0.01 M CaCl2 solution). Arsenic contaminated soils should be limed regularly in order to maintain the highest possible calcium concentration in the soil solution.  相似文献

The present study was aimed at removing cadmium ions from aqueous solution through batch studies using adsorbents, such as, granular activated carbon (GAC) and activated clay (A‐clay). GAC was of commercial grade where as the A‐clay was prepared by acid treatment of clay with 1 mol/L of H2SO4. Bulk densities of A‐clay and GAC were 1132 and 599 kg/m3, respectively. The surface areas were 358 m2/g for GAC and 90 m2/g for A‐clay. The adsorption studies were carried out to optimize the process parameters, such as, pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time. The results obtained were analyzed for kinetics and adsorption isotherm studies. The pH value was optimized at pH 6 giving maximum Cd removal of 84 and 75.2% with GAC and A‐clay, respectively. The adsorbent dosage was optimized and was found to be 5 g/L for GAC and 10 g/L for A‐clay. Batch adsorption studies were carried out with initial adsorbate (Cd) concentration of 100 mg/L and adsorbent dosage of 10 g/L at pH 6. The optimum contact time was found to be 5 h for both the adsorbents. Kinetic studies showed Cd removal a pseudo second order process. The isotherm studies revealed Langmuir isotherm to better fit the data than Freundlich isotherm.  相似文献
