Sediment and biota samples were collected from Msimbazi and Kizinga rivers and from the coastal marine environment of Dar es Salaam during both dry and wet seasons. The samples were analyzed for various organochlorine pesticide residues using GC-ECD and GC-MS. Dieldrin, p,p^′-DDT, p,p^′-DDE, p,p^′-DDD, o,p^′-DDT and γ-HCH were detected at significantly greater concentrations above the method detection limits. Recoveries of pesticide residues ranged 86.5–120% in sediments and 62–102% in biota. The average concentrations of total DDT in sediments for the two seasons were almost the same. Biota samples showed significant difference in levels of residues depending on mode of feeding and age of analyzed biota. p,p^′-DDT to total DDT ratios in all matrices indicated recent use of DDT. The levels of residues in sediments suggest possible adverse effects to humans consuming biota that are directly exposed to the sediments. This effect, which is associated with bio-concentration of residues in the tissues of edible aquatic biota, should not affect wildlife. In spite of concern on the adverse effect to humans posed by pesticide residues in sediments, edible biota from the examined water bodies were found to be safe for human consumption.  相似文献   

Biomonitoring of coastal pollution status using protozoan communities with a modified PFU method   总被引：10，自引：0，他引：10  

Xu K  Choi JK  Yang EJ  Lee KC  Lei Y 《Marine pollution bulletin》2002,44(9):877-886

Structural and functional parameters of protozoan communities were assessed as indicators of water quality in Korean coastal waters in the summer of 2000. A modified polyurethane foam unit (PFU) method, named the bottled PFU (BPFU) system, was used in order to carry out the bioassessment. Both parameters suggested that biomonitoring using the BPFU system was more effective than the conventional PFU method in offshore areas. The species number collected by the BPFU system generally decreased as pollution intensity increased at three main stations and was greater than that collected using the PFU method (paired t-test, t = 4.83, p < 0.0001). The Margalef diversity index coincided well with the water conditions. The diversity index values calculated from the BPFU system were also significantly higher than those from the PFU method (paired t-test, t = 5.37, p < 0.0001). Furthermore, the functional parameters, i.e. S(eq),G and T90%, correlated with the pollution status and could thus clearly discriminate the different classes of water quality.  相似文献   

Preliminary evidence for human fecal contamination in corals of the Florida Keys,USA   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

Corals and reef environments are under increased stress from anthropogenic activities, particularly those in the vicinity of heavily populated areas such as the Florida Keys. The potential adverse impacts of wastewater can affect both the environment and human health; however, because of the high decay rate of bacterial indicators in coral reef waters it has been difficult to document the presence of microbial contaminants and to assign risks in these environments. Here we show initial evidence that microorganisms associated with human feces are concentrated along the surface of coral heads relative to the overlying water column in the Florida Keys. Bacterial indicators (fecal coliform bacteria, enterococci or Clostridium perfringens) were detected in 66.7% of the coral surface microlayer (CSM) samples at levels between five and 1000 CFU/100 ml, but were found infrequently and at low numbers in the overlying water column ( < or = 2.5 CFU/100 ml). Similarly, enterovirus nucleic acid sequences, an indicator of human-specific waste, were detected in 93.3% of the CSM samples and only once in the water column by cell culture. Results show that coral mucus may accumulate enteric microorganisms in reef environments, and may indicate a risk to public and environmental health despite low indicator levels in the surrounding water.  相似文献   

Magnetic properties of soils from sites with different geological and environmental settings   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7

Measurements of magnetic susceptibility of soils, reflecting magnetic enhancement of topsoils due to atmospherically deposited magnetic particles of industrial origin, are used recently in studies dealing with outlining polluted areas, as well as with approximate determination of soil contamination with heavy metals. One of the natural limitations of this method is magnetic enhancement of soils caused by weathering magnetically rich parent rock material. In this study we compare magnetic properties of soils from regions with different geological and environmental settings. Four areas in the Czech Republic and Austria were investigated, representing both magnetically rich and poor geology, as well as point-like and diffuse pollution sources. Topsoil and subsoil samples were investigated and the effect of geology and pollution was examined. Magnetic data including mass and volume magnetic susceptibility, frequency-dependent susceptibility, and main magnetic characteristics such as coercivity (Hc and Hcr) and magnetization (Ms and Mrs) parameters are compared with heavy metal contents. The aim of the paper is to assess the applicability of soil magnetometry under different geological-environmental conditions in terms of magnetic discrimination of dominant lithogenic/anthropogenic contributions to soil magnetic signature. Our results suggest that lithology represents the primary effect on soil magnetic properties. However, in case of significant atmospheric deposition of anthropogenic particles, this contribution can be clearly recognized, independent of the type of pollution source (point-like or diffuse), and discriminated from the lithogenic one. Different soil types apparently play no role. Possible effects of climate were not investigated in this study.  相似文献

通过2007年5—6月期间测量成都市若干条剖面上大气可吸入颗粒物（PM10）中的汞含量，来推测成都市大气中汞的来源。结果表明：在12个点的测量范围内，成都市PM10的质量平均浓度为210．8μg／m^3；PM10中汞的质量平均浓度为0．36ng／m^3。公园和郊区PM10浓度和其中汞浓度均较少，可能与植被茂盛有关。由PM10中汞的分布可知，在热电厂、停用的生活垃圾堆放场和寺庙附近出现最高值。说明热电厂和生活垃圾堆放场是大气汞污染的重要次生来源。寺庙附近出现的高汞值，推测与寺庙的礼仪活动如香烛燃烧有关。  相似文献

云南毛坪铅锌(银、锗)矿床是川滇黔成矿域滇东北地区以碳酸盐岩为主岩的中-大型铅锌(银)矿床的典型代表。矿体空间分布严格受 NE 向层间断裂带和猫猫山倒转背斜的控制。主要脉石矿物(铁方解石、方解石及白云岩)中的流体包裹体发育,一般较小(3～15μm),主要为纯液相和液相包裹体,常沿矿物结晶面密集成群展布。成矿流体属 Na~ -K~ -Ca~(2 )-CI~- -F~- 型,流体包裹体均一温度为180～218(C,盐度为4.1 wt%～9.5 wt% NaCl,成矿压力为406×10~5～570×10~5Pa。在主要脉石矿物流体包裹体中,Na~ /K~ (1.54～4.53)与 Cl~-/F~-(0.72～156.33)较高,而重晶石流体包裹体中 Na~ /K~ (0.32～8.36)与 Cl~-/F~-(1.06～16.77)较低。成矿流体的(D 为-23‰～-64‰,方铅矿、闪锌矿和黄铁矿中流体包体(~(18)O_(v-SMOW)依次为0.3‰～6.2‰,-9.0‰～3.4‰和-6.8‰～-12.7‰。脉石矿物的(~(13)C_(v-PDB)为-1.1‰～-3.7‰。以上信息更好地揭示了成矿流体是变质水、岩浆水和建造水混合的产物,它们与沉积作用、昆阳群基底的变质作用及岩浆热液作用有关。该矿床本身可能是富含铅、锌、银等成矿流体对流循环沿构造"贯入"而成。该矿床不同于典型的 MVT 型铅锌矿床,是一碳酸盐岩为主岩的铅锌多金属硫化物矿床。  相似文献

Differences in trace metal concentrations among fluvial morphologic units and implications for sampling   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

S. C. Ladd  W. A. Marcus  S. Cherry 《Environmental Geology》1998,36(3-4):259-270

 This study examines the segregation of trace metals within and between fluvial morphologic units in sand-sized and finer bed sediments in a cobble bed stream. The types of fluvial morphologic units sampled are low gradient riffles, high gradient riffles, glides, eddy drop zones, lateral scour pools, attached bars, and detached bars. Three to nine samples were collected from ten of each type of morphologic unit. All 12 metals show significantly different concentrations between some morphologic units in sediments smaller than 2 mm. Eddy drop zones and attached bars consistently have the highest metal concentrations, while low gradient riffles, high gradient riffles, and glides typically have the lowest concentrations. Metals showing the greatest between-unit variability are Al, Cr, Fe, Cu, and Ti, followed by Co, Mn, and Pb, while Mg, Mn, V, and Zn display relatively few differences between units. Lateral and longitudinal variations of metals within units are not significant, and there was no consistent, predictable variation in metal concentrations with distance downstream. Results indicate that metal studies in other gravel- and cobble-bed streams should include a reconnaissance survey to determine variations between morphologic units, stratify sampling by morphologic unit, and analyze spatial autocorrelation to determine sample spacing.

Sources and sinks of atmospheric methane   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  

D. H. Ehhalt  U. Schmidt 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1978,116(2-3):452-464

In 1972 average mixing ratio of methane in the troposphere was 1.41 ppm and 1.3 ppmv for the northern and southern hemisphere, respectively, which corresponds to a total amount of 4×10¹⁵ g of CH₄ present in the atmosphere. Most is of recent biologic origin.¹⁴C analyses show that no more than 20 percent is released by fossil sources. The various ecosystems producing CH₄ are discussed and the total annual production is estimated to lie between 5.5×10¹⁴ g/yr and 11×10¹⁴ g/yr. The corresponding turnover times for atmospheric CH₄ range from 4 to 7 yrs. The destruction of CH₄ takes place mainly in the troposphere, most probably through the reaction of CH₄ + OH CH₃ + H₂O. About 10 percent of the CH₄ is destroyed in the stratosphere. The CH₄ cycle contributes on the order of 1 percent to the atmospheric carbon cycle.  相似文献
