Background on Fluoranthene

Fluoranthene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). The molecule can be viewed as the fusion of naphthalene and benzene unit connected by a five-membered ring. Although samples are often pale yellow, the compound is colorless. It is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. It is a member of the class of PAHs known as non-alternant PAHs because it has rings other than those with six carbon atoms. It is a structural isomer of the alternant PAH pyrene. It is not as thermodynamically stable as pyrene. Its name is derived from its fluorescence under UV light.

Seasonal characteristic composition of inorganic elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in atmospheric fine particulate matter and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of COPD patients in Northeast China.[Pubmed:32658839]

Respir Med. 2020 Jul 6;171:106082.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the composition characteristics of atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and their impact on the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: The atmospheric PM2.5 samples and BALF samples from COPD patients were collected from June 2, 2017 to October 30, 2018, and allocated into a high-risk of PM2.5 inhalation group and a low-risk PM2.5 inhalation group according to the heating season in Harbin. Inorganic elements were detected by ICP-MS, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were detected by GC/MS. RESULTS: Twenty-six inorganic elements were found in 54 BALF specimens. There was a high correspondence in inorganic elements between BALF and atmospheric PM2.5. Trace elements Cr, Mn, V, and Co, and toxic trace elements Al, Pb, Cd, As, and Ag were above the upper limit of normal blood. There were significant higher K, Ti, Fe, Co, Cu, Se, Rb, Ag, and Sb in BALF of the high-risk PM2.5 inhalation group (p < 0.05). Sixteen PAHs were detected in 32 BALF samples. The main components of BALF and atmospheric PM2.5 were the high molecular weight PAHs, and the species and concentration of PAHs in BALF and atmospheric PM2.5 are highly consistent. CONCLUSION: The types and concentrations of inorganic elements and PAHs in BALF of COPD patients are highly consistent with those of atmospheric PM2.5. The sustained high concentrations of Benzo(a)anthracene, Chrysene, Benzo(b)Fluoranthene, Benzo(k)Fluoranthene, Indeno(123-c,d)Pyrene, and Benzo(a)Pyrene in BALF of COPD patients may have long-term adverse effects on COPD patients.

Selective identification of cyclopentaring-fused PAHs and side-substituted PAHs in a low pressure premixed sooting flame by photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy.[Pubmed:32657287]

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2020 Jul 13.

This work reports on the selective on-line identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) formed in a low-pressure methane sooting flame, carried out using the double imaging Photoelectron Photoion Coincidence Spectroscopy method (i2PEPICO) on the DESIRS VUV beamline at the synchrotron SOLEIL. Generally, this work demonstrates the capabilities of the i2PEPICO method to identify PAHs in sooting flames, and in particular to distinguish cyclopentaring-fused PAHs (CP-PAHs) and side-substituted PAHs from their benzenoid isomers. Experimental threshold photoelectron spectra of four CP-PAHs: acenapthylene (C12H8, 152 m/z), acenaphtene (C12H10, 154 m/z), Fluoranthene (C16H10, 202 m/z) and benzo(ghi)Fluoranthene (C18H10, 226 m/z) are also reported for the first time.

Phthalate and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Levels in Liquid Ingredients of Packaged Fish Sold in Turkish Markets.[Pubmed:32641613]

J Oleo Sci. 2020 Jul 9.

Phthalates (PAEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants in environment and foodstuffs. The objective of this study was to investigate the contamination possibility of phthalates and PAHs in packaged and canned fishes. For this purpose, tuna, salmon, sardine and mackerel canned and packaged with different liquid ingredients (water, olive oil, sunflower oil, mixture of sunflower and canola oil) attained from local markets in Turkey in 2019, were analyzed for presence of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and benzo(a)anthracene (BaA), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), benzo(b)Fluoranthene (BbF), chrysene (Chr). The instrumental analyses were performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD). In all analyzed samples, the levels of DBP, BBP, DINP and DIDP were less than their LOQ, so these phthalates were not quantified. The highest DEPH content was found 650 microg/kg in sample 2 (tuna in olive oil, packaged in plastic package). The highest sum of PAH 4 concentration was 9.97 microg/kg in sample 4 (salmon canned in sunflower oil). Some samples (19 samples) were free for all analyzed PAEs and PAHs. All levels of these persistent organic pollutants were lower than regulation limits of Turkey and EU.

Toxicity assessment of Fluoranthene, Benz(a)anthracene and its mixed pollution in soil: Studies at the molecular and animal levels.[Pubmed:32610224]

Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2020 Jun 27;202:110864.

An increasing amount of Fluoranthene (Fla) and Benz(a)anthracene (BaA) is being produced and used, eventually entering the soil sediments. The accumulation of Fla and BaA will cause poisoning to typical enzymes (alpha-Amylase) and organisms (Eisenia fetida) in soil. However, the studies about exploring and comparing the different effects of Fla, BaA and their joint effect at different levels are rarely reported. In this paper, the different effects of Fla, BaA and their mixed pollutant on alpha-Amylase were evaluated and compared at the molecular level, and the effect of Fla-BaA to the antioxidant system of earthworm (Eisenia fetida) was investigated from the aspects of concentration and exposure time at the animal level. The results showed that Fla-BaA had the greatest influence on the skeleton structure and the microenvironment of amino acid residue of alpha-Amylase compared to Fla and BaA, and in the mixed pollutant system, the joint effect mode was additive mode. The inhibitory effect of Fla-BaA on the activity of alpha-Amylase was also stronger than that of the system alone. The assays at the animal level showed that low concentrations (below 5 mg/kg) of Fla-BaA increased the activity of GSH-Px and SOD while high concentrations inhibited their activity. The POD that was activated throughout the experiment period suggested its key role in the earthworm antioxidant system. Changes in T-AOC and MDA showed that long-term and high-dose of Fla-BaA exposure inhibited the antioxidant capacity of Eisenia fetida, causing lipid peroxidation and damage to cells.

[Distribution, Sources, and Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Tributary Waters of the Lower Reaches of the Yangtze River, China].[Pubmed:32608839]

Huan Jing Ke Xue. 2020 May 8;41(5):2221-2228.

The lower reaches of the Yangtze River are a typical gathering place of chemical industrial parks in China. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emitted in the production process of chemical enterprises enter the tributary water body through atmospheric deposition and surface runoff, and finally merge into the Yangtze River. In this study, the distribution characteristics, source analysis, and ecological risk assessment of PAHs in a series of typical water samples collected in the tributary waters of the Yangtze River were studied. PAH monomers in the samples were mainly low-ring. The total concentration of PAHs was in the range of 37.27 to 285.88 ng.L(-1) with a mean value of 78.31 ng.L(-1), while the monomer concentration of PAHs ranged from 0 to 61.35 ng.L(-1). The lowest detection rate was benzo[k] Fluoranthene and benzo[a] pyrene at 75%. As a toxic PAH monomer, the concentration of benzo[a] pyrene ranged from 0 to 11.08 ng.L(-1). According to "Water Quality Standards for Drinking Water Sources (CJ 3020-1993)" of China, the concentration of benzo[a] pyrene in a water sample (S12) located near Wuxi City exceeded the limit of drinking water standards (10 ng.L(-1)). Compared with the total concentration of PAHs in rivers in some typical regions of the world, the concentration of PAHs in this study was generally at low to moderate levels. According to the source analysis results of the ratio method and principal component analysis, the concentration of PAHs in water was mainly affected by fossil combustion, automobile exhaust, and chemical emissions. To assess the potential ecosystem risk of PAHs in the investigated area, the risk quotient (RQ) was used. In addition to the DBA monomer, the relative quantities (RQs) (replication) of the remaining monomers were greater than 1, and the RQ (MPCs) values in all the monomers were less than 1, indicating that the ecological risk of water samples was at a medium level. From the perspective of long-term environmental exposure, appropriate control measures should be considered to prevent further pollution. The results can provide reference for PAH risk assessment and pollution control of chemical industrial parks in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Placental levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their association with birth weight of infants.[Pubmed:32597233]

Drug Chem Toxicol. 2020 Jun 29:1-10.

As an alarming group of pollutants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) gather much public health concern not only because of their carcinogenic or co-carcinogenic risk but also by interfering with hormone systems or by causing oxidative damage, henceforth liable to toxic actions on reproduction. Accordingly, the present study was aimed to explore the association between in-utero exposure to PAHs by evaluating their placental levels and infant birth weight among 110 healthy and nonsmoking pregnant women. Placental tissue samples were collected instantly after delivery and were analyzed for the presence of sixteen Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed PAHs with the help of Gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Chrysene and benzo(k)Fluoranthene were the predominant PAHs detected in tissue samples. To assess the source of origin of PAHs in placenta tissue samples, the ratio of low molecular weight PAHs to high molecular weight ( summation operatorLMW/ summation operatorHMW PAHs) was calculated, showing the predominance of pyrogenic sources of PAHs possibly responsible for the exposure of the studied population. Results of regression analysis demonstrated the inverse although not significant association of naphthalene (Nap), acenaphthylene (Acy), anthracene (Anth), pyrene (Pyr), benzo(b)Fluoranthene (BbF), benzo(k)Fluoranthene (BkF), benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), indeno (123 cd pyrene (IcdP), dibenzo(ah)anthracene (DahA) and benzo(ghi)Perylene (BghiP) with birth weight of neonates. Additionally, the regression model lay light upon the significant association of Fluoranthene (Fla) (coefficient= -1.41 gram, p < 0.05) to the depletion trend of birth weight after adjusting for potential covariates. These findings suggest the possible role of an environmental contaminants like PAHs on impairment of fetal growth.

Microextraction based on microplastic followed by SERS for on-site detection of hydrophobic organic contaminants, an indicator of seawater pollution.[Pubmed:32580096]

J Hazard Mater. 2020 Jun 15;400:123202.

Microplastics (MPs) have been proven to concentrate hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) from seawater as the sorbent phase, and the concentration of HOCs in aqueous solutions could be estimated from MPs preloaded with HOCs by equilibrium partition coefficient. This study firstly proposed to in situ quantify Fluoranthene (a representative HOCs) pre-concentrated on MPs using surface enhance raman scattering (SERS) in combination with mathematical models, as an efficient monitoring tool for Fluoranthene pollution in the aquatic environment. AgNPs-coated quartz (AgNPs@SiO2) substrate was fabricated. The SERS substrate was tested using Fluoranthene standard solution with the minimal detectable concentration of 1 ng/mL achieved. Applying SERS for the detection of Fluoranthene sorbed on MPs, the detection limit of Fluoranthene on MPs was 3.3 ng/g, where the concentration in the corresponding equilibrium seawater was 0.97 ng/mL. Since more than one Fluoranthene peak was observed, the quantitative detection was investigated by interval partial least square model. Eight characteristic peak ranges were selected to develop the model for predicting Fluoranthene concentration, with R(2)c and R(2)v of 0.90 and 0.82, respectively. The study provides a promising solution to monitor trace level of contaminations in aquatic environment, using MPs as the passive sampler.

Exposure and Absorption of PAHs in Wildland Firefighters: A Field Study with Pilot Interventions.[Pubmed:32572446]

Ann Work Expo Health. 2020 Jun 23. pii: 5861172.

OBJECTIVES: There is limited knowledge of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in wildland firefighters, or of the effectiveness of interventions to reduce this. This study of wildland firefighters assessed whether PAHs were present and considered respiratory protection and enhanced skin hygiene as possible interventions. METHODS: 1-Hydroxypyrene (1-HP) was measured in urine samples collected pre-shift, post-shift, and next morning from wildland firefighters in Alberta and British Columbia. Skin wipes, collected pre- and post-shift, were analysed for eight PAHs. Breathing zone air samples were analysed for 11 PAHs. As pilot interventions, participants were randomized to either normal or enhanced skin hygiene. A sample of volunteers was assigned to a disposable N95 mask or a half facepiece mask with P100 organic vapour cartridge. Participants completed a brief questionnaire on activities post-shift and respiratory symptoms. RESULTS: Non-smoking firefighters (66 male and 20 female) were recruited from 11 fire crews. Air sampling pumps were carried for the full shift by 28 firefighters, 25 firefighters wore masks (14 N95 and 11 P100); 42 were assigned to the enhanced skin hygiene intervention. Sixty had hot spotting as their main task. Air monitoring identified PAHs (benzo(b,j,k)Fluoranthene in particulates, phenanthrene in the gaseous phase) for 6 of the 11 crews. PAHs (largely naphthalene) were found post-shift on 40/84 skin wipes from the hand and 38/84 from jaw/throat. The mean increase in 1-HP in urine samples collected after the shift (compared with samples collected before the shift) was 66 ng g-1 creatinine (P < 0.001) with an increase over the shift found for 76% of participants. 1-HP in next morning urine samples was significantly lower than at the end of shift (a reduction of 39.3 ng g-1: P < 0.001). The amount of naphthalene on skin wipes was greater at the end of the shift (post) than at the start (pre). The mean post-pre weight difference of naphthalene on skin wipes taken from the hand was 0.96 ng wipe-1 (P = 0.01) and from the jaw/throat 1.28 ng wipe-1 (P = 0.002). The enhanced skin hygiene intervention lead to a larger reduction in 1-HP between end of shift and next morning urine samples but only for those with naphthalene on skin wipes at the end of shift. The difference in 1-HP concentration in urine samples collected before and after the shift was reduced for those wearing a mask (linear tend P = 0.063, one-sided). In multivariable models, 1-HP at end of shift was related to gaseous phase phenanthrene, estimated from air sampling [beta = 318.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 67.1-569.2]. Naphthalene on hand skin wipes reflected work in hot spotting during the shift (beta = 0.53, 95% CI 0.22-0.86). CONCLUSIONS: This study provided evidence of PAHs in the air and on the skin of many, but not all, fire crew. Absorbed PAHs, reflected in 1-HP in urine, increased over the shift. Results from the pilot interventions suggest that enhanced skin hygiene would reduce absorption post fire where PAHs had been accumulated on the skin, and that masks could be effective in reducing PAH inhalation exposure. Interventions to reduce PAH absorption are supported by the pilot work reported here and warrant further evaluation across a full fire season.

Microplastics in water, sediment and fish from the Fengshan River system: Relationship to aquatic factors and accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by fish.[Pubmed:32554090]

Environ Pollut. 2020 Jun 8;265(Pt B):114962.

The occurrence of microplastics was investigated in water, sediment and fish from the Fengshan River system. All collected samples contained microplastics with 334-1058 items/m(3) in the water samples, 508-3987 items/kg dry weight in the sediment samples and 14-94 items/fish in the fish samples. The spatial distribution of microplastics in water and sediments was attributed to anthropogenic discharges, flow dynamics, tidal exchanges and microplastic density. This was evidenced by significant correlations of microplastics with the river pollution index (RPI), chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended solid (SS), flow velocity and the presence of different polymer types of microplastics in water and sediment. Microplastic abundance in fish was correlated to SS, pH and conductivity, indicating that these water quality variables might affect bioavailability of microplastics to fish. Concentrations of microplastics/cm length of demersal fish at a higher trophic level (Leiognathus equulus and Pomadasys argenteus) were higher than those of a benthopelagic fish (Oreochromis niloticus niloticus). The significant relationships observed suggest that collected fish might prefer to ingest long fibrous microplastics from sediments and large fragmented microplastics from water. The high levels of 3- and 4-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particularly Fluoranthene and pyrene, in fish muscle revealed that the collected fish species might have a high ability to accumulate these PAHs from food and the environment. Significant relationships between some PAHs in fish and microplastic abundances in water/sediments/fish suggested that these PAHs might be accumulated by fish from contaminated microplastics. This study provides unique information on the factors influencing the spatial distribution of microplastics and the role of microplastics on the accumulation of PAHs by fish.

In vitro profiling of the potential endocrine disrupting activities affecting steroid and aryl hydrocarbon receptors of compounds and mixtures prevalent in human drinking water resources.[Pubmed:32554009]

Chemosphere. 2020 Jun 9;258:127332.

Prioritizing chemicals posing threats to drinking water resources is crucial for legislation considering the cost of water treatment, remediation, and monitoring. We profiled in vitro potential endocrine disrupting activities (both agonistic and antagonistic) of 18 contaminants most prevalent in Walloon raw water resources intended for drinking water production, including several compound groups: pesticides, perfluorinated compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, a corrosion inhibitor, and bisphenol A. Mixtures thereof relevant for human realistic exposure were also investigated. Seven luciferase reporter gene cell lines were used i.e. three (human and rat) responsive to dioxins through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and four (human) responsive to steroids through the estrogen (ER), androgen (AR), progesterone (PR), and glucocorticoid (GR) receptors. Among the 18 compounds, ten caused at least one response in at least one receptor. Specifically, chlorpyrifos, bisphenol A, Fluoranthene, phenanthrene, and benzo [a]pyrene displayed significant activities on several receptors. Bisphenol A agonized ER, but abolished the cells' response to androgen and progesterone. While Fluoranthene and phenanthrene strongly reduced human AhR and AR transactivation, benzo [a]pyrene strongly activated AhR and ER, but inhibited GR and AR. In human breast cancer cells, benzo [a]pyrene dramatically activated AhR, inducing a 10-fold higher response than 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) at concentrations possibly found realistically in human blood. The mixture of the 18 compounds exerted both ER and rat AhR agonism, with the main contribution being from benzo [a]pyrene or its combination with bisphenol A. Moreover, the mixture significantly inhibited TCDD-induced CYP1A activity (detected only by EROD assays) in human hepatoma cells.

The Role of Dactylis Glomerata and Diesel Oil in the Formation of Microbiome and Soil Enzyme Activity.[Pubmed:32545819]

Sensors (Basel). 2020 Jun 13;20(12). pii: s20123362.

The global demand for petroleum contributes to a significant increase in soil pollution with petroleum-based products that pose a severe risk not only to humans but also to plants and the soil microbiome. The increasing pollution of the natural environment urges the search for effective remediation methods. Considering the above, the objective of this study was to determine the usability of Dactylis glomerata for the degradation of hydrocarbons contained in diesel oil (DO), as well as the effects of both the plant tested and DO on the biochemical functionality and changes in the soil microbiome. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse with non-polluted soil as well as soil polluted with DO and phytoremediated with Dactylis glomerata. Soil pollution with DO increased the numbers of microorganisms and soil enzymes and decreased the value of the ecophysiological diversity index of microorganisms. Besides, it contributed to changes in the bacterial structure at all taxonomic levels. DO was found to increase the abundance of Proteobacteria and to decrease that of Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi, Gemmatimonadetes and Firmicutes. In the non-polluted soil, the core microbiome was represented by Kaistobacter and Rhodoplanes, whereas in the DO-polluted soil, it was represented by Parvibaculum and Rhodococcus. In soil sown with Dactylis glomerata, gasoline fraction (C6-C12) degradation was higher by 17%; mineral oil (C12-C35), by 9%; benzene, by 31%; anthracene, by 12%; chrysene, by 38%; benzo(a)anthracene, by 19%; benzo(a)pyrene, by 17%; benzo(b)Fluoranthene, by 15%; and benzo(k)Fluoranthene, by 18% than in non-sowed soil. To conclude, Dactylis glomerata proved useful in degrading DO hydrocarbons and, therefore, may be recommended for the phytoremediation of soils polluted with petroleum-based products. It has been shown that the microbiological, biochemical and chemical tests are fast and sensitive in the diagnosis of soil contamination with petroleum products, and a combination of all these tests gives a reliable assessment of the state of soils.

Overall comparison and source identification of PAHs in the sediments of European Baltic and North Seas, Chinese Bohai and Yellow Seas.[Pubmed:32526564]

Sci Total Environ. 2020 May 29;737:139535.

An international sampling campaign was carried out to comprehensively investigate the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the marine sediments from the European Baltic and North Seas, Chinese Bohai and Yellow Seas. The concentrations of summation operator18PAHs in the samples from these four seas were in the range of 0.91-5361 ng/g dry weight (dw), 0.46-227 ng/g dw, 25.0-308 ng/g dw and 4.3-659 ng/g dw, respectively. 4-rings PAHs, e.g., Fluoranthene, pyrene and benzo(b)Fluoranthene, were commonly the dominant compounds in all the samples. The PAH sources were identified via composition patterns, diagnostic ratios, principal component analysis (PCA) and positive matrix factorization (PMF). Coal combustion, vehicular emission, coke plant and petroleum residue were apportioned as the main sources in these marine sediments. However, through PMF modeling, different contributions of these sources were quantified to the deposited PAHs in the seas, suggesting distinct anthropogenic impacts on the adjacent marine system. It is note-worthy that biomass combustion may not be the main source of PAHs in the majority of sediments from these seas. This was evidenced by the ratios of naphthalene against its methylated derivatives (i.e. 1-,2-methylnaphthalenes) other than the composition pattern in the samples, of which the approach is in prospect of developing in future studies.

Comparison of the Fe(2+)/H2O2 and Fe(2+)/PMS systems in simulated sludge: Removal of PAHs, migration of elements and formation of chlorination by-products.[Pubmed:32506047]

J Hazard Mater. 2020 May 20;398:122826.

In this study, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at practical concentrations in the simulated sludge treated by the Fe(2+)/H2O2 and Fe(2+)/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) systems were evaluated in terms of the PAHs (phenanthrene, anthracene, Fluoranthene) removal, element migration, Cl(-) effect, and chlorination by-product formation. The results indicated that according to the removal rate of PAHs, the optimal dosage of the Fe(2+)/PMS system ( summation operatorPAHs removal rate was 64.66+/-2.82 %) was 1/30 of that for the Fe(2+)/H2O2 system ( summation operatorPAHs removal rate was 78.63+/-0.38 %). The elemental contents in the simulated sludge were mainly affected by the extent of advanced oxidation and the amount of generated iron flocs. By studying the PAHs removal, free chlorine formation, total organochlorine content, and PAHs products in Fe(2+)/H2O2/Cl(-) and Fe(2+)/PMS/Cl(-) systems, it was found that chlorine radicals (.Cl) had high reactivity with phenanthrene and Fluoranthene, whereas dichloride anion radicals (Cl2(.-)) exhibited the opposite behavior. Furthermore, PAHs were oxidized by .Cl and hydroxyl radical in the Fe(2+)/H2O2/Cl(-) system, whereas PAHs and their products were chlorinated by free chlorine and .Cl in the Fe(2+)/PMS/Cl(-) system to six chlorinated by-products such as Cl-PAHs (9-Cl-phenanthrene, 2-Cl-anthracene, 9,10-Cl2-anthracene, 3-Cl-Fluoranthene). These results provide some useful suggestions for the safe advanced oxidation process treatment of textile dyeing sludge.

A novel index based on planktonic copepod reproductive traits as a tool for marine ecotoxicology studies.[Pubmed:32498212]

Sci Total Environ. 2020 Jul 20;727:138621.

Copepods are excellent bioindicators of climate change and ecosystem pollution in anthropized coastal waters. This work reviewed the results of previous studies examining changes in egg production rate (EPR), hatching success (HS), and nauplius survival rate (NSR) in natural conditions and in the presence of pollutants, including heavy metals and organic contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). At high concentrations, cadmium and silver induce an increase in EPR in the copepods Acartia tonsa and Acartia hudsonica, while exposure to mercury decreases EPR in adults by 50%. All three metals affect HS, with mercury inducing a stronger effect than cadmium and silver. Cadmium affects reproductive traits in Centropages ponticus, decreasing EPR and particularly HS. Furthermore, copper and chromium at high concentrations induce significant decreases in eggs per female in Notodiaptomus conifer. In terms of organic contaminant and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Eurytemora affinis is reported to be affected by naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, and 2,3,5-trimethylnaphthalene and can thus be used in ecotoxicity studies, but only if the exposure time is high. Acartia tonsa shows significant reductions in EPR and HS at high concentrations of Fluoranthene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. However, the response to Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) such as pentachlorophenol (PCP) and 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB) differs. In E. affinis, EPR increases with DCB, but HS falls to <1%. EPR increases when the species is exposed overnight, but HS remains low in the presence of DCB. Based on these results, we developed a novel copepod reproductive trait index (CRT-Index) for use in marine ecotoxicology surveys and tested in some simple cases. We show that copepods are good candidates as models for ecotoxicology studies, in particular using reproductive traits (EPR, HS and NSR) because of their sensitivity to a wide range or pollutants.

Spatiotemporal toxicity assessment of suspended particulate matter (SPM)-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Lake Chaohu, China: Application of a source-based quantitative method.[Pubmed:32498188]

Sci Total Environ. 2020 Jul 20;727:138690.

The spatiotemporal associations between the emissions and environmental toxicities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in lake still remain an issue. Here, we focused on the suspended particulate matter (SPM)-bound PAHs in Lake Chaohu, China to quantitatively estimate their spatiotemporal toxicities from different sources. A source-based quantitative method, positive matrix factorization (PMF)-benzo[a]pyrene-based toxic equivalency (TEQBaP) model, was applied. Firstly, we investigated the spatiotemporal characteristics of SPM-bound PAHs. The concentrations of Sigma21 PAHs ranged from 1646 to 19267 ng.g(-1). Low-ring PAHs were found to have the highest fractions. T-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE)-partitioning around medoid (PAM) technic revealed significantly spatiotemporal variation characteristics of SPM-bound PAHs in Lake Chaohu. Season, location (west or east lake zone), and sample classification (estuary or lake) together governed the patterns. Then, their potential sources were apportioned. Our results found that diagnostic ratios did not work perfectly. However, 3 factors were separated by PMF model. Unburned petroleum (F1), biomass, coal and gasoline combustion (F2), and diesel, straw combustion (F3) were the main sources of PAHs, accounting for 36.16%, 48.96% and 14.88%, respectively. The patterns of the source profiles were season-dependent. Finally, the toxicity of SPM-bound PAHs from different sources were predicted by PMF-TEQBaP model, and the model predictions were satisfactorily acceptable. Overall, predicted Sigma19 TEQBaP of SPM-bound PAHs in Lake Chaohu ranged from 20.8 to 947.9 ng.g(-1). Benzo[e]pyrene (BeP), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and benzo[b]Fluoranthene (BbF) were the main toxic species. Temporally, PAH toxicity posed significantly seasonal differences. F3 had primary contributions to Sigma19 TEQBaP. Cutting the diesel consumption and using cleaner energy substitutes were suggested to reduce the PAH toxicity in Lake Chaohu. Overall, we expected this study could give new insights into the spatiotemporal associations between the sources and toxicities of SPM-bound PAHs in lake ecosystem.
