摘要:

三江源地区是“亚洲水塔”的重要组成部分。该地区复杂的大气环流可能为持久性有机污染物(POPs)的输入提供动力。在采集三江源地区土壤和牧草的基础上,获得该地区有机氯类污染物(OCPs,POPs的一类)的污染水平并进行来源解析,以期对POPs的潜在生态风险进行评估。结果表明,1)三江源地区土壤和牧草中滴滴涕(DDTs)的含量分别为低于检出限 (BDL)-2.32×104 pg∙g−1(平均3003 pg∙g−1)和BDL-2.44×104 pg∙g−1(平均3539 pg∙g−1),高于全球其他高海拔草地地区;而土壤和牧草中六氯苯(HCB)、六六六(HCHs)和多氯联苯(PCBs)的含量则与全球背景水平相当。2)三江源地区的OCPs整体呈现东高西低的空间分布特征。反向气团轨迹显示高含量的OCPs主要来自于三江源以东的地区。此外,人口密集的城镇地区具有相对高的OCPs含量,表明当地的零星地区可能存在OCPs使用/排放史。3)三江源地区土壤和牧草中的OCPs含量与年降水量显著正相关(P值分别小于0.05和0.1),而土壤DDTs与热力学温度的倒数(1/T)线性关系的斜率可达−9×107。降水冲刷和地气交换很可能是大气中OCPs向三江源地区地表介质输入的关键过程。4)三江源地区有机氯污染物在土壤-牧草间的平均生物浓缩系数为11,表明有机氯污染物在牧草中发生了富集。基于定性评价的效应区间低/中值法和危害商法的生态风险评估显示,三江源地区OCPs对生态系统的总体风险较小,但后续研究中仍需关注该地区东部城镇的DDTs生态风险。研究结果可为青藏高原生态环境保护和三江源国家公园建设提供数据支撑。

Abstract:

The Three-River Headwater Region (TRHR) is a crucial part of the “Asian Water Tower”. Complex atmospheric circulation potentially transports persistent organic pollutants (POPs) into this area. To evaluate the possible ecological risks of POPs in this region, soil and grass samples were collected from the TRHR to assess the levels of organochlorine pollutants (OCPs, a class of POPs) and identify their sources. The results were as follows: 1) the concentrations of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDTs) in the soil and grasses within the TRHR ranged from BDL (below detection limits) to 2.32×104 pg∙g−1 (average 3003 pg∙g−1) and from BDL to 2.44×104 pg∙g−1 (average 3539 pg∙g−1), which was relatively higher than the levels in most high-altitude grassland regions worldwide. In contrast, the concentrations of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCHs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the soil and grasses were comparable to global background levels. 2) OCP levels in the TRHR decreased from east to west. Analyzed by the backward trajectories of air masses, the DDTs in the eastern TRHR primarily originated from the eastern parts of the TP. In addition, scattered local usage may be attributed to the high levels of DDTs in the eastern TRHR. 3) Significant positive relationships were observed between OCPs concentrations and precipitation (P<0.1), and the slope of the relationship between DDT concentrations in soil and 1/T was quite steep (−9×107). The results indicated that both wet deposition and air-soil exchange are key processes of DDT input into the surface ground of the TRHR. The low temperature was because the high altitude “trapped” the POPs in the ground of the TRHR. 4) The bioconcentration factors of OCPs in the TRHR were up to 95, indicating that bioaccumulation of OCPs occurred in grasses. Using the effects range-low and effects range-median (ERL/ERM) methods and the hazard quotient method, the ecological risks of OCPs in the TRHR were assessed as low, whereas the relatively high risks in towns in the eastern TRHR should be studied further. These findings provide valuable insights into eco-environmental protection efforts in the Tibetan Plateau and management strategies for the Three-River Headwater National Park.
