文摘The effects of acid deposition on pine forest ecosystems in Longli of Guizhou Province, southwestern China are studied using indoor experiments and model simulations.

文摘三氯生(triclosan,TCS)和三氯卡班(triclocarban,TCC)是2种高效广谱抗菌剂,均具有胚胎毒性、内分泌干扰性和生殖毒性,并可能引发癌症、DNA损伤和不良妊娠结局等,是目前一类广泛关注的新污染物。美国食品与药品监督管理局(US FDA)于2016年已禁止含有TCS和TCC等抑菌剂的非处方抗菌洗浴产品进入市场,而目前在我国其为化妆品准用防腐剂,允许限量使用,且皂类产品不在限制范围内。TCS和TCC作为新兴的外源性化学污染物能够随生活污水的排放进入自然环境,对我国本土水生生物、生态安全和人身健康构成了潜在威胁。为探究TCS和TCC对我国本土鱼种稀有鮈鲫(Gobiocypris rarus)长期暴露及4个不同发育阶段(胚胎期、卵黄囊吸收阶段、仔鱼及幼鱼阶段)的毒性效应,本研究将稀有鮈鲫的受精卵暴露于TCS和TCC中,直至孵化后60 d(60 days post hatch,60 dph),试验过程中监测胚胎期的孵化率,卵黄囊吸收阶段、仔鱼及幼鱼阶段的成活率,长期暴露过程中的生长情况、性分化及内分泌干扰效应等多个指标。研究结果显示,在胚胎期,6.25~100μg·L^(-1)的TCS和0.938~15μg·L^(-1)的TCC对稀有鮈鲫的胚胎孵化率没有显著的毒性效应。在仔鱼阶段,6.25~100μg·L^(-1)的TCS和0.938~15μg·L^(-1)的TCC暴露组30 dph成活率的最高无可观察效应浓度分别为100μg·L^(-1)和0.938μg·L^(-1),根据我国国家标准,TCC对水生环境的危害可判定为长期慢性类别1,而TCS由于试验中的最高浓度未达到1 mg·L^(-1),无法作出明确的判断,但能判断其对水生环境的危害为非长期慢性类别1。在幼鱼阶段,6.25~100μg·L^(-1)的TCS和0.938~15μg·L^(-1)的TCC均对雌性及雄性稀有鮈鲫体内卵黄蛋白原具有一定的诱导作用,但在性分化上没有显著影响。在胚后发育过程中,通过长期暴露,6.25~100μg·L^(-1)的TCS对稀有鮈鲫体质量有显著毒性效应,随TCS浓度的升高,稀有鮈鲫体质量逐渐降低,TCS对稀有鮈鲫体质量具有抑制作用;0.938~15μg·L^(-1)的TCC对稀有鮈鲫体质量及体长等生长均无显著影响。此外,研究发现稀有鮈鲫在不同发育阶段的毒性效应存在差异,稀有鮈鲫胚胎期的耐受力明显高于胚后发育阶段,卵黄囊吸收阶段及仔鱼阶段的耐受力低于幼鱼阶段。可见,当更多的生命阶段被包括在一个测试中,能够通过较少的试验动物,获得较多的毒性终点,且测试中不同生命阶段的毒性效应来自同一批试验动物,使不同生命阶段的试验结果更具可比性。
