In vitro screening for endocrine disruptive activity in selected South African harbours and river mouths     

JC Truter  JH van Wyk  BK Newman 《African Journal of Marine Science》2015,37(4):567-574

Various waterborne anthropogenic contaminants disrupt the endocrine systems of wildlife and humans, targeting reproductive pathways, among others. Very little is known, however, regarding the occurrence of endocrine disruptive activity in South African freshwater ecosystems, and coastal ecosystems have not been studied in this regard. In a first attempt to investigate endocrine disruptive activity in South African coastal waters, surface water samples collected from harbours, river mouths and estuaries in three metropolitan municipalities, eThekwini (which includes Durban), Nelson Mandela (specifically Port Elizabeth Harbour) and City of Cape Town, were screened for (anti) oestrogenicity and (anti)androgenicity using recombinant yeast bioassays. Moreover, levels of the female hormone 17β-(o)estradiol (E2) were determined in all samples, as well as a selection of hydrocarbons in the eThekwini samples. A high proportion of samples collected from eThekwini were oestrogenic, whereas none from Port Elizabeth Harbour and only a single river mouth sampled in the City of Cape Town were oestrogenic. E2 was detected in all the samples tested, but at higher concentrations at the eThekwini and City of Cape Town localities than Port Elizabeth Harbour. In addition, the recombinant yeast assays revealed that anti-androgenicity was widespread, being detected in the majority of samples screened apart from those representing Port Elizabeth Harbour. Conversely, no anti-oestrogenic or androgenic activity was detected. Anti-androgenicity did not associate with hydrocarbon loads, providing evidence that other anti-androgens were responsible for the observed activity. The present data suggest potential reproductive disruption in marine and estuarine fauna inhabiting the eThekwini and City of Cape Town regions.  相似文献

海孜辉绿岩-花岗斑岩双峰式侵入岩体位于扬子地台西南缘康滇断隆带中的武定-元江裂陷槽内,本文对海孜辉绿岩和花岗斑岩主要进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年和地球化学研究。花岗斑岩的定年结果为1764±18Ma,辉绿岩的定年结果为1765±5.4Ma。岩相学及地球化学测定数据显示海孜地区辉绿岩具有细粒和粗粒两种结构,与花岗斑岩之间存在明显的组分间断,形成双峰态,其中花岗斑岩为钙碱性(Si O2=70.93%~73.04%,σ=1.28),辉绿岩属过碱性(Si O2=42.46%~48.26%,σ=15.3),Hf同位素特征表明两者可能均与幔源母岩浆相关。而海孜双峰式分布特征显示大陆裂谷拉张环境的构造背景,暗示海孜岩体是1.7Ga时昆阳裂谷裂解时期产物,与全球Columbia超大陆的裂解事件相呼应。作为扬子地台西南缘首次发现的1.7Ga双峰式侵入岩,海孜双峰式侵入岩的发现具有重要的地质意义。  相似文献   

扬子地块西缘天全新元古代过铝质花岗岩类成因机制及其构造动力学背景   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

四川西部天全地区花岗岩属于扬子地块西缘岩浆岩带,是"康滇地轴"北段的重要组成部分。岩石形成年龄为851±15Ma(MSWD=0.7),属于新元古代花岗岩,与扬子地块西缘和北缘大量的中酸性侵入体和火山岩具有相近的形成年龄。火夹沟花岗闪长岩为过铝质、低Si O2、具有相对亏损的Sr-Nd-Pb同位素地球化学组成,结合岩石低的Al2O3/Ti O2和高的Ca O/Na2O比值,其应是在镁铁质岩浆底侵的条件下,成熟度较低的杂砂岩部分熔融形成的过铝质熔体,岩石较低的Si O2含量表明其同化了部分镁铁质熔体。而角脚坪花岗岩具有高的Si O2含量,为过铝质、富Na的熔体,而且具有极度亏损的Sr-Nd同位素组成,表明其应是亏损的玄武质岩石(洋壳或是与地幔柱有关的玄武岩)在H2O饱和条件下发生低程度部分熔融形成的过铝质熔体。结合扬子西缘其它新元古代火成岩的地球化学特征及区域构造资料,我们认为天全地区的Na质花岗闪长岩-花岗岩组合代表在高地温梯度条件下,玄武质岩石在H2O饱和条件下发生部分熔融形成的过铝质花岗岩。  相似文献

扬子陆核崆岭高级变质地体内出露一套强变形的基性-超基性岩岩石组合, 主要呈似层状、透镜状分布于崆岭群中, 该套变基性-超基性岩组合对扬子陆块早期构造演化过程具有重要意义.通过同位素稀释法(isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry, 简称ID-TIMS)获得该套岩石组合中蛇纹石化方辉橄榄岩全岩Sm-Nd等时线年龄为1063±12Ma, 说明Sm-Nd同位素体系可用于对超低含量、发生强蚀变作用的超基性岩样品进行定年.样品Nd同位素组成相对均一(ε_Nd(t)值为6.90~7.32), 表明形成于封闭体系中, 其对应Nd同位素两阶段模式年龄为1.13~1.09Ga, 与形成年龄接近, 说明来自亏损软流圈地幔部分熔融.结合区域上已有的中元古代末期到新元古代早期构造岩浆事件研究, 认为在该时期扬子陆块可能由多个微陆块组成, 就扬子陆核而言, 其与扬子陆块西侧之间很可能存在分隔的大洋.   相似文献

基于峡东秭归青林口、泗溪和宜昌晓峰河埃迪卡拉系下部陡山沱组剖面岩石、层序和精细的碳同位素地层研究,在埃迪卡拉系下部陡山沱组底部、下部、中部、上部和顶部分别识别出5次以灰岩出现或黑色页岩增厚为标志的海侵事件,划分出5个可以进行区域对比的三级层序,自下而上分别命名为BDSS,LDSS,MDSS,UDSS和TDSS。以层序界面为对比标志,峡东埃迪卡拉纪不同古地理部位碳同位素组成变化的对比显示峡东埃迪卡拉系陡山沱组中内部发育5次可以进行区域乃至全球对比的碳同位素负异常,分别是分布在BDSS下部的SN1,LDSS上部的SN2,MDSS上部和顶部的SN3和SN4,以及分布在UDSS上部的SN5。其中SN1和SN4碳同位素负偏离最为明显,最小δ13C分别达到-4‰~-5‰和-9‰~-10‰,分别与Marinoan冰期上覆盖帽白云岩以及Gaskier冰碛沉积上、下地层中的碳同位素组成特点接近。SN4是埃迪卡拉系最晚冰期的产物。与SN1是埃迪卡拉系底界划分对比的标志相对比,SN4的出现应该是埃迪卡拉系内部再划分中另一个不可忽视的界线标志。  相似文献   

In Situ Analyses of Trace Elements,U–Pb and Lu–Hf Isotopes in Zircons from the Tongshankou Granodiorite Porphyry in Southeast Hubei Province,Middle-Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt,China

The Tongshankou Cu-Mo deposit, located in southeast Hubei province, is a typical skarn–porphyry type ore deposit closely related to the Tongshankou granodiorite porphyry, characterized by a high Sr/Y ratio.Detailed in situ analyses of the trace elements and U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopes in zircons from the Tongshankou granodiorite porphyry were performed.Scarcely any inherited zircons were observed, and the analyzed zircons yielded highly concordant results with a weighted mean 206Pb/238 U age of 143.5 ± 0.45 Ma(n=20, mean square weighted deviation was 0.75), which was interpreted to represent the crystallization age of the Tongshankou granodiorite porphyry.The chondrite-normalized rare-earth element pattern was characterized by a slope that steeply rises from the light-group rare-earth elements(LREE) to the heavy-group rare-earth elements(HREE) with a positive Ce-anomaly and inconspicuous Eu-anomaly, which was coincident with the pattern of the zircons from the Chuquicamata West porphyry, Chile.The analyzed zircons also had relatively low 176Hf/177 Hf ratios of 0.282526–0.282604.Assuming t=143 Ma, the corresponding calculated initial Hf isotope compositions(εHf(t)) ranged from-5.6 to-2.9.The results of the in situ analysis of trace elements and U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopes in zircons from the Tongshankou granodiorite porphyry suggest that a deep-seated process involving a thickened-crust/enriched-mantle interaction may play an important role in the generation of high Sr/Y-ratio magma and potentially in the generation of porphyry Cu-Mo systems.  相似文献

扬子板块北缘在中生代期间经历多期构造变形,早期形成的构造样式多被后期的构造变形改造破坏,仅在大巴山弧形断裂和大洪山弧形带之间的南漳一带较好地保存了早期的构造变形样式。笔者通过对当阳复向斜北段发育的褶皱构造的构造要素测量统计和褶皱叠加关系的解析,在扬子板块北缘中段南漳一带识别出三期走向不同的褶皱叠加构造,按发育早晚顺序分别为NW-SE走向褶皱、NE-SW走向褶皱和近EW走向褶皱,分别对应扬子板块向北俯冲以及后期转入陆内变形、江南–雪峰褶皱逆冲带向NW逆冲推覆和晚侏罗世到早白垩世期间大巴山向SW推进等构造变形过程。  相似文献   

安徽沿江坳陷多金属成矿带控矿因素与找矿建议          下载免费PDF全文

王朝义  马良 《地质找矿论丛》2015,30(1):16-22

安徽沿江坳陷是长江中下游铁铜成矿带的重要组成部分,近10年来安徽新发现的具有较高经济价值的金属矿床几乎全都在该区。侵入岩体周边不同性质的围岩往往对矿床的类型具有控制作用;区域性深大断裂控制了成矿母岩的形成和分布,而具体的矿床构造(褶皱、断裂、接触带)控制着成矿有利空间(低压带)的分布;燕山中晚期中性-中酸性混熔型钙碱性岩浆岩不仅控制金属矿床的产出部位,还提供了成矿物质、热能,并产生成矿热液;矿床均围绕岩体分布,具有矿种和矿物组合等方面的水平-垂向分带;成矿时代为130~155 Ma,金属矿床分为玢岩型铁矿、夕卡岩型铁矿、斑岩型铜矿、夕卡岩型铜矿、层控型铁铜矿等5种矿床类型,各类型之间存在过渡、共生、叠加关系,构成中性-中酸性岩浆成矿系列。建议在今后的找矿工作中,要选好靶区、就矿找矿,加强中性-中酸性岩浆岩和控矿构造的研究,并注意技术方法的有效性与多解性。  相似文献   

Cathodoluminescence and Trace Element Composition of Scheelite from the Middle-Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt (MLYB): Implications for Mineralization and Exploration     

NIE Liqing  ZHOU Taof  CHEN Xuefeng  WANG Fangyue  XIAO Xin 《《地质学报》英文版》2020,94(6):1977-1996

The Middle–Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt (MLYB) is known to contain abundant copper and iron porphyry-skarn deposits, with an increasing number of tungsten deposits and scheelite in Fe–Cu deposits being discovered in the MLYB during recent decades. The ore genesis of the newly-discovered tungsten mineralization in the MLYB is poorly understood. We investigate four sets of scheelite samples from tungsten, iron and copper deposits, using CL imaging and LA–ICP–MS techniques to reveal internal zonation patterns and trace element compositions. The REE distribution patterns of four studied deposits show varying degrees of LREE enrichment with negative Eu anomalies. The oxygen fugacity of ore-forming fluid increased in Donggushan, while the oxygen fugacity of ore-forming fluid decreased in Ruanjiawan, Guilinzheng and Gaojiabang. The scheelites from the Donggushan, Ruanjiawan, Guilinzheng and Gaojiabang deposits show enrichment in LREEs and HFSE, with Nb/La ratios ranging from 1.217 to 52.455, indicating that the four tungsten deposits are enriched in the volatile fluorine. A plot of (La/Lu)N versus Mo/δEu can be used to distinguish quartz vein type, porphyry and skarn tungsten deposits. This study demonstrates that scheelite grains can be used to infer tungsten mineralization and are effective in identifying magmatic types of tungsten deposits in prospective mining sites.  相似文献
