Pollution Characteristics and Ecological Risk of PBDEs in Water and Sediment from an Electronic Waste Dismantling Area in Taizhou

Abstract

以台州某电子垃圾拆解工业园为圆心,在半径为16 km的范围内,由近及远设计了C(3 km)、S(5~10 km)和R(10~16km)三圈共30个采样点,研究了该区域水及沉积物中多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)的污染特征与生态风险.结果表明,水中PBDEs含量为9.4~57.2 ng·L~(-1),平均值为25.9 ng·L~(-1);沉积物中PBDEs含量为3.7~38 775 ng·g~(-1),平均值为2 779 ng·g~(-1);BDE-209均为主要成分.水及沉积物中PBDEs含量的空间分布态势均为:C圈>S圈>R圈,沉积物中PBDEs含量和离工业园区中心的距离呈极显著负相关(P S > R. Furthermore,the concentrations of PBDEs in sediments showed significant negative correlation against the distance from the industrial park( P < 0. 01). Compared with other regions around the world,the PBDEs contamination was more serious in the area,which indicated that e-waste dismantling activity was one of the significant sources for PBDEs pollution. It was estimated that a total of 30. 7 t PBDEs( including 28. 9 t BDE-209) was discharged into surrounding environment as a result of dismantling industrial activities in last 40 years. A preliminary ecological risk assessment for PBDEs in water and sediments was conducted by hazard quotient method. The results demonstrated that the Penta-BDEs in the center of e-waste dismantling area( a radius of 1. 5 km) was at particularly high risk level and could cause serious influence on the ecological safety and human health.环境保护公益性行业科研专项(201309047
