Degradation of Naturally Contaminated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Municipal Sewage Sludge by Electron Beam Irradiation

This study was to evaluate the degradation efficiency of naturally contaminated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sewage sludge by using electron beam irradiation as a function of the absorbed dose. Degradation efficiency of PAHs was near to 90% at the absorbed doses 5 kGy. The degradation of PAHs was "first order" reaction rates with respect to absorbed dose. The electron beam irradiation was found effective in means of removing PAHs in domestic wastewater.     

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Profile of Kitchen Dusts

Concentrations and profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in thirty dust samples collected from kitchens that use wood cook system (WCS), kerosene stove cook system (KSCS) and butane gas cook system (BGCS). The total PAHs concentrations ranged from 52 to 497,  39 to 96 and 37 to 155 μg kg⁻¹ for WCS, KSCS and BGCS respectively. The results indicate predominance of lower molecular weight (2–3 rings) over higher molecular weight PAHs and users of wood cook system are more exposed to higher levels of PAHs than the users of either kerosene cook system or butane gas cook system.

Effect of Salinity on Biodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) of Heavy Crude Oil in Soil

The spillage of crude oil in the soil damages the environment. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are one of the crude oil components that may be harmful for living organisms. PAHs can disappear from the environment by volatilization and biodegradation. The effect of different NaCl concentrations (0%–5%) on PAHs reduction from the heavy crude oil-contaminated soil was studied. Our results showed that increasing NaCl concentration in soil had decreasing effect on total crude oil and PAHs reduction. The biodegradation of total crude oil was higher in 0% NaCl (41%) while higher total PAHs reduction was observed in 1% NaCl (35%). The lower total crude oil and PAHs reduction were observed in 5% NaCl (12% and 8% respectively). Phenanthrene, anthracene and pyrene reduction were higher in 1% NaCl, while fluoranthene and chrysene reduction were higher in 0% NaCl.

多环芳烃暴露评价的生物标志物研究

目的探讨人尿中1-羟基芘(1-OH-Py)和3-羟基苯并(a)芘(3-OH-BaP)可否作为人体环境暴露多环芳烃(PAHs)肺癌风险评价的生物标志物。方法选择100名处于不同工作环境的非嗜烟成人作为研究对象,采集每名受试者24 h的个体呼吸带空气样品、饮食样品和尿液样品,用高效液相色谱(highperformance liquid chromatography,HPLC)分别测定呼吸和饮食样品中的14种PAHs化合物,以及尿液样品中的1-OH-Py和3-OH-BaP。结果焦炉工人日暴露PAHs的总量(其中BaP的中位值约为9.2μg/d)显著高于一般人群(BaP约0.8μg/d);焦炉工人尿中1-OH-Py的浓度(约2.0μmol/mol)也显著高于一般人群(约0.1μmol/mol);但是,焦炉工人尿中3-OH-BaP的浓度(约0.04μmol/mol)却显著低于一般人群(约0.07μmol/mol)。尿中1-OH-Py与人体暴露14种PAHs均呈显著正相关关系,而尿中3-OH-BaP却与人体暴露PAHs呈显著负相关关系。结论该研究首次提出了用1-OH-Py、3-OH-BaP的比值定量评价人体暴露PAHs肺癌风险的模型。     

Compost-Mediated Removal of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Contaminated Soil

Compost-assisted remediation of a manufactured-gas plant soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was performed in thermally insulated composting chamber using mushroom compost consisting wheat straw, chicken manure, and gypsum. The degradation of individual PAHs was in range of 20–60% at the end of 54 days of composting followed by further increase of PAH removal (37–80%) after another 100 days of maturation. Both chemical analysis of the contaminated soil for PAHs and ecotoxicity tests on bioluminescent bacteria, earthworms, and plant seeds were performed before and after the composting. After the composting, inhibition of bioluminescence decreased, whereas no significant change in toxicity was observed for earthworm survival and seed germination. Using bacterial culture of Escherichia coli K12 genotoxicity tests were performed on samples taken from different parts of the composting pile; after the composting the decrease in genotoxicity was observed only in the sample taken from upper part of the composted pile.

Exposure of Firefighters to Particulates and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Firefighting continues to be among the most hazardous yet least studied occupations in terms of exposures and their relationship to occupational disease. Exposures are complex, involving mixtures of particles and chemicals such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Adverse health effects associated with these agents include elevated incidences of coronary heart disease and several cancers. PAHs have been detected at fire scenes, and in the firehouse rest area and kitchen, routinely adjoining the truck bay, and where firefighters spend a major part of each shift. An academic-community partnership was developed with the Cincinnati Fire Department with the goal of understanding active firefighters’ airborne and dermal PAH exposure. PAHs were measured in air and particulates, and number and mass concentrations, respectively, of submicron (0.02–1 μm) and PM2.5 (2.5 μm diameter and less) particles during overhaul events in two firehouses and a University of Cincinnati administrative facility as a comparison location. During overhaul firefighters evaluate partially combusted materials for re-ignition after fire extinguishment and commonly remove Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Face and neck wipes were also collected at a domestic fire scene. Overhaul air samples had higher mean concentrations of PM2.5 and submicron particles than those collected in the firehouse, principally in the truck bay and kitchen. Among the 17 PAHs analyzed, only naphthalene and acenaphthylene were generally detectable. Naphthalene was present in 7 out of 8 overhaul activities, in 2 out of 3 firehouse (kitchen and truck bay) samples, and in none collected from the control site. In firefighter face and neck wipes a greater number of PAHs were found, several of which have carcinogenic activity, such as benzofluoranthene, an agent also found in overhaul air samples. Although the concentration for naphthalene, and all other individual PAHs, was very low, the potential simultaneous exposure to multiple chemicals even in small quantities in combination with high ultrafine particle exposure deserves further study. It is recommended that personal respiratory and skin protection be worn throughout the overhaul process.     

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Residential Dust: Sources of Variability

Background: There is interest in using residential dust to estimate human exposure to environmental contaminants.Objectives: We aimed to characterize the sources of variability for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in residential dust and provide guidance for investigators who plan to use residential dust to assess exposure to PAHs.Methods: We collected repeat dust samples from 293 households in the Northern California Childhood Leukemia Study during two sampling rounds (from 2001 through 2007 and during 2010) using household vacuum cleaners, and measured 12 PAHs using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. We used a random- and a mixed-effects model for each PAH to apportion observed variance into four components and to identify sources of variability.Results: Median concentrations for individual PAHs ranged from 10 to 190 ng/g of dust. For each PAH, total variance was apportioned into regional variability (1–9%), intraregional between-household variability (24–48%), within-household variability over time (41–57%), and within-sample analytical variability (2–33%). Regional differences in PAH dust levels were associated with estimated ambient air concentrations of PAH. Intraregional differences between households were associated with the residential construction date and the smoking habits of residents. For some PAHs, a decreasing time trend explained a modest fraction of the within-household variability; however, most of the within-household variability was unaccounted for by our mixed-effects models. Within-household differences between sampling rounds were largest when the interval between dust sample collections was at least 6 years in duration.Conclusions: Our findings indicate that it may be feasible to use residential dust for retrospective assessment of PAH exposures in studies of health effects.     

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Degrading Microflora in a Tropical Oil-Production Well

The surrounding environment near Dagang oil-production well suffers polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution. In the present study, indigenous microorganisms capable of degrading PAHs were isolated and the efficiency of PAHs removal was investigated. Seven PAH-degrading strains were isolated with the ability to grow on naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene and fluorene. They belonged to the genus Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Rhodococcus. The strain having the highest degrading capacity for each PAH was selected by the screening test. The removal efficiency of PAHs was found to be in the order of naphthalene > fluorene > phenanthrene > pyrene. The kinetics of PAHs degradation was then followed by liquid chromatography determination and the results showed it conforms to a first-order reaction kinetic model. This study would be highly important for investigating the ability of microorganisms to utilize PAHs as growth substrates.     

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons at Different Crossroads in Zagreb,Croatia

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured in the PM₁₀ particle fraction collected at two different measuring sites in Zagreb, Croatia. In summer, concentrations of all PAHs at both sites were low. In winter, mass concentrations of all PAHs measured at southern site were much higher than those at north. Contents of all PAHs in the PM₁₀ particle fraction were much lower in summer than that in the winter period. For example, average content of BaP in PM₁₀ in summer was 2.26 ng/mg at site A and 4.17 ng/mg at site B, while in winter it was 34.72 and 46.69 ng/mg, respectively.

Characterization of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Emissions of Different Mosquito Coils

Emission rates and emission factors of particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in the emissions of three prevalent mosquito coil brands available in the market in India, under controlled conditions in an environmental chamber. The emission rates varied between the brands and ranged between 2.0 ± 1.9 to 27.1 ± 1.5 μg h^?1 for brand A, 3.4 ± 1.1 to 32.3 ± 1.2 μg h^?1 for brand B and 3.1 ± 1.0 to 72.2 ± 1.1 μg h^?1 for brand C for different compounds. Five and six ring PAHs were not detected, however four and three ring PAHs dominated. Three ring PAHs contributed 24 %, 42 % and 29 %, while four ring compounds contributed 53 %, 35 % and 61 % to total PAHs in the three brands. Carcinogenic PAH compounds were also present in the emissions, indicating the potential risks associated with the inhalation of coil smoke.
