Procedure I consisted of n-hexane or petroleum ether together with acetone used as solvents, while Procedure contained several solvents including acetone, methanol, dichloromethane, and n-hexane or petroleum ether. Experimental results indicated that a mixture of petroleum ether/acetone (2:1, v/v) could be used in place of n-hexane/acetone (2:1, v/v) as it was a less expensive solvent system. In addition, shaking under a water bath at 20 °C was more effective than sonication. Also, Procedure I was more effective, safer, and more timesaving than Procedure Procedure I was applied to three soil types of different organic matter content, with recoveries of the OPPs from the yellow-brown soils, which had a higher organic matter content, being lower than those from the yellow and red soils.展开更多

[Method] In regions where high residual pesticides had been applied for a long term, 2-3 consecutive years of shallow ploughing after the autumn harvest, early shallow ploughing and sowing later in the next spring, and late ploughing and sowing were conducted,and the effects of the three measures on weed suppression and reduction of pesticide residue in soil were analyzed by measuring the length and fresh weight of crop radicles. [Result] Trifluralin applied in the A. membranaceus field for a long term limited the growth of the alfalfa seedlings. That is, the radicle length of each plant was 2.1-2.9 cm shorter than that of the control, and the fresh weight of each plant reduced by 0.19-0.20 g. Metsulfuron methyl applied in the alfalfa field for a long term also limited the growth of the alfalfa seedlings, that is, the radicle length of each plant was 1.9-2.0 cm shorter than that of the control, and the fresh weight of each plant reduced by 0.13-0.15 g. Shallow ploughing was conducted within two days after the autumn harvest, and all weed seeds on the ground were plowed into the plough layer 0-10 cm instead of deep soil. Early shallow ploughing in the next spring could make most seeds of weeds in surface soil sprout early, and sowing was conducted after 10 d, so that about 40% of weeds sprouting early were killed off. However, after shallow ploughing and sowing were conducted 10 d later than the normal sowing period, and around 30% of weeds were killed off. In addition,the weeds left in soil should be removed manually at the seedling stage or in late period. These measures had no adverse impact on the growth and development of crop radicles and yield. [Conclusion] In regions where pesticides with long-term residue had been applied for a long term, 2-3 consecutive years of shallow ploughing after the autumn harvest, different farming and sowing measures and artificia weeding could suppress weeds in the crop fields effectively, did not pollute soil environment, and promoted the degradation of pesticides left in soil.展开更多
Selected persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), including 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) and its principal metabolites 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2...Selected persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), including 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) and its principal metabolites 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)e- thane (DDD), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and its isomers (α-,β-, γ-, and δ-HCH), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), endo- sulfan, dieldrin, and endrin were quantified to determine current levels of organochlorine pesticides, to assess the eco- toxicological potential, and to distin…展开更多

An additional soil profile was sampled in a paddy field as previous research had indicated high concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in the paddy fields. Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) ranged from 0.64 78.07 ng g-1 dry weight and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) ranged from 0.72-30.16 ng g-1 dry weight in the surface soil of the whole study region. Ratios of a-HCH/-γ-HCH 〈 4 and o,p′-DDT/p,p′-DDT 〉 1 in all soil samples suggested that lindane and dicofol were widely applied in this region in the past. Concentrations of HCHs and DDTs in soils from the four land use types followed the orders: paddy fields 〉 vegetable lands 〉 tea plantations 〉 orchards and tea plantations 〉 orchards 〉 paddy fields 〉 vegetable lands, respectively. Analyses of the data showed no correlation (r 〈 0.1) between elevation and OCPs contents in paddy fields, orchards and vegetable lands, indicated no significantly different features in distribution of HCHs and DDTs in the soils from low lying plains and mountains and the unsystematic usage of OCPs, and highlighted the fragmented nature of agricultural production in Zhangzhou, as well as the reemission of OCPs from the soils, where high OCPs concentrations were found, in Longhai of Zhangzhou. In addition, no obvious relationship between the OCPs and total organic carbon (TOC) (r 〈 0.3) was observed in the soil profile. The mean contribution of dicofol in total DDTs was 66% in the whole Zhangzhou region. The approximate burdens of HCHs and DDTs in the surface layer of 0-20 em were 0.44 and 1.55 t, respectively. The storage of both HCHs and DDTs in soil surface layer (0-20 cm) accounts for 40% burden of the soil layer of 0 50 cm (1.10 t HCHs and 3.87 t DDTs), in which the highest concentrations of OCPs were observed in soil profile.展开更多

The concentrations ranged from non-detected to 30.86μg kg^-1 for HCHs (sum of α-, β-, and γ-HCH), from non-detected to 40.03 μg kg^-1 for DDTs (sum of p, p′-DDT, p, p′-DDD, p, p′-DDE, and o, p′-DDT), and from non-detected to 11.95 μg kg^-1 for methoxychlor. The total concentrations of the OCPs ranged from 16.40 to 84.86 μg kg^-1, with a mean of 41.89 ± 16.25 μg kg^-1. According to the measured concentrations and occurrence rates of the 14 OCPs, DDTs, HCHs, and methoxychlor were the most dominant compounds. Among the 5 functional zones, the total concentration of OCPs was in the order of rural area 〉 traffic roadside 〉 park 〉 business/residential area 〉 industrial area. The different compositions of DDTs and HCHs indicated that the residues of these compounds in most soil samples originated from historical application, besides slight recent introduction at some sampling sites. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that soil total organic carbon played an important role in the residue levels of HCHs, but such relationships were not found with DDTs or other OCPs. The soil quality of Uriimqi was classified as Class I based on the guidelines of the Chinese Environmental Quality Standard for Soil (GB15618-1995), indicating that the residue levels of OCPs have little risks to the environment and human health in the study area.展开更多
