The 48-h toxicity of substituted phenols and anilines and their binary mixtures to Scenedesmus obliquus was determined by the algae inhibition test. The median effective inhibition concentration EC50 values for single compounds and EC50mix values for coexistent compounds were obtained. The n-octanol/water partition coefficient (logPmlx) and the frontier orbital energy gap (AEmlx) for mixtures were calculated. The following two-descriptor quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) models were developed to predict single toxicity and joint toxicity respectively: log(1/ECs0) = 0.445logP - 0.801AE + 9.501 (r2 = 0.876) and log (1/EC50mix) = 0.338logPmix- 0.492AEmix + 6.928 (r^2 = 0.831). The two equations were found to fit well. In addition, the model derived from the structural parameters of single components in binary mixtures log(1/EC50mix) = 0.2221ogP - 0.277AE + 5.250 (r^2 = 0.879) can be used successfully to predict the toxicity of a mixture.展开更多

Results showed that the three agrochemicals increased tadpole mortality. For acute toxicity, the LC50 values after 24, 48 and 72 h of chlorantraniliprole, flubendiamide-abamectin and penoxsulam exposure were 5.37, 4.90 and 4.68 mg/L; 0.035, 0.025 and 0.021 rag/L; 1.74, 1.45 and 1.29 mg/L, respectively. The safety concentrations (SC) of chlorantraniliprole, fiubendiamide-abamectin and penoxsulam to the tadpoles were 1.23, 0.30 and 0.003 mg/L, respectively. Based on these findings, chlorantraniliprole and penoxsulam were moderately toxic, while flubendiamide-abamectin was highly toxic. All pairwise joint toxicity tests showed moderate toxicity. The LCs0 values after 24, 48 and 72 h of exposure were 7.08, 6.61 and 6.03 mg/L for chlorantra- niliprole+penoxsulam, with corresponding values of 2.455, 2.328 and 2.183 mg/L for chlorantraniliprole+flubendiamide-abamectin, and 1.132, 1.084 and 1.050 mg/L for penoxsulam+flubendiamide-abamectin, with safe concentrations of 1.73, 0.63 and 0.30 mg/L, respectively. For toxic evaluations of pairwise combinations of the three agrochemicals, only the joint toxicity of chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide-abamectin after 24 h was found to be synergistic, whereas all other tests were antagonistic. Our findings provide valuable information on the toxic effects of agrochemicals on amphibians and how various types of agrochemicals can be reasonably used in agricultural areas.展开更多

An obvious synergism effect of the two insect growth regulators with B. beauveria was observed. When the insect growth regulators at LC50 concentrations (25 × 10^-6 g/L for methoxyfenozide and 1 000 × 10^ -6 g/L for hexaflumuren) were mixed with B. bassiana at the volume ratio of 4: 1, the mixtures achieved the best efficacy. The co-toxicity co-efficient (CTC) of methexyfenozide and B. bass/ana was 285, and that of hexaflumuron and B. bass/ana was 208. Scanning electron microscope observation of the longitudinal section of S. exigua revealed obviously different patterns of integument in different treatment groups.展开更多

The results indicated that methamidophos and Cd had unobvious(p>0.05) effects on seed germination of the ornamental. There were significant(p<0.05) inhibitory effects of Cd on root elongation of the tested plant. When the concentration of added Cd was low(<20 mg/L), significant antagonistic effects on root elongation were observed. And synergic effects were observed when Cd was added in high dose(>20 mg/L). However, the analysis of joint effects indicated that there were antagonistic effects between Cd and methamidophos under all the treatments. At the high concentration of Cd, joint toxicity of methamidophos and Cd was more dependent on concentration of Cd.展开更多

The toxic unit and the additive index were used to evaluate the joint toxicity. The result shows that the joint toxicity of each of the binary mixtures of aniline and each of its derivatives is mainly simple addition of the toxicities of the two compounds. On this basis, the QSAR equation that was built from the single toxicity of aniline was used to predict the toxicity of the derivatives of aniline in the mixtures. Good agreement between the predicted and experimental values was found with R 2=0.921.展开更多

The results showed that soil containing Cd, Pb and ATR could inhibit root elongation of Solidago Canadensis L., and that there was a positive linear relationship between the inhibitory rate of root elongation and the concentrations of Pb(Ⅱ). The mixture of Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ)-ATR in soil showed a significant adverse effect on root and shoot biomass of Solidago Canadensis L. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) contents increased slightly at the lower concentrations of Cd(Ⅱ)-ATR, then decreased when Cd(Ⅱ)-ATR concentrations were higher than those of 1.0 TUmix(Cd+ATR). The toxic effect of Pb(Ⅱ)-ATR on the ASA contents of Solidago Canadensis L. was greater than that of Cd(Ⅱ)-ATR. Soluble sugar contents firstly decreased and then increased with increasing concentrations of Cd(Ⅱ)-ATR and displayed fluctuation with increasing concentrations of Pb(Ⅱ)-ATR. Total protein contents in-creased with increasing concentrations of Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ)-ATR , relative to the control sample. The NP-SH con-tents showed a significant increase up to 12.2 mg/gfw of Cd(Ⅱ)-ATR, followed by a significant decline to 4.5 mg/gfw after 14 days of exposure. The effect of Pb(Ⅱ)-ATR was similar to that of Cd(Ⅱ)-ATR but the amount of NP-SH was not higher than that of Cd(Ⅱ)-ATR.展开更多

The acute toxicities of Cd2+, Pb2+ and Hg2+ to C. inflata went in the order of Hg2+, Pb2+, Cd2+. The results of joint toxicity showed that the types and magnitudes of joint actions were different at different solution compositions. The joint toxicity of Cd2+ and Pb2+ at the concentration proportion of 1:1 and toxic proportion of 1:1 were all antagonism. At the concentration proportion of 1:1, the joint toxicity of Pb2+ and Hg2+ was synergistic, and it changed from antagonism to synergistic at the toxic proportion of 1:1. The joint toxicily of Hg2. and Cd2+ at the concentration proportion of 1:1 was synergistic, and it was antagonist at toxic proportion of 1:1. At the concentration proportion of 1:1:1, the joint toxicity of Cd2+, Pb2. and Hg2+ was synergistic, and it changed from antago- nism to synergistic under toxicity proportion of 1:1:1.展开更多
