[PMID: 36403811 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Standard reference materials (SRMs) have been commonly used to perform quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) in soil total metal concentration analyses or bioaccessibility assessment. In this study, 10 experimenters from 4 laboratories determined bioaccessibility of lead (Pb) in 4 widely-used SRMs (NIST 2710a, NIST 2587, BGS 102, and GBW 07405). Based on the gastric phase (GP) of the unified BARGE bioaccessibility method (UBM) and the Solubility Bioavailability Research Consortium procedure (SBRC), Pb bioaccessibility in SRMs was compared within and between laboratories to assess their intra-laboratory repeatability and inter-laboratory reproducibility. Lead bioaccessibility was 14.1 ± 2.44%-101 ± 2.48% in the 4 SRMs. The values were in vivo validated based on a mouse model in previous studies (R2 = 0.97-0.98), suggesting the reliability of Pb bioaccessibility data. Strong correlations were observed for Pb bioaccessibility among 7 experimenters (R2 = 0.94-0.99) at the Nanjing University (NJU) laboratory and similar strong correlations were also found between each two of the 4 laboratories (R2 = 0.94-0.98), illustrating consistency in intra- and inter-laboratory performance. The intra-laboratory repeatability and inter-laboratory reproducibility were generally acceptable with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of Pb bioaccessibility being ≤10% within laboratory and ≤20% between laboratories, except in a soil with low bioaccessible Pb (BSG 102). Our study suggested that measurements of Pb bioaccessibility in SRMs based on the two in vivo validated methods were repeatable and reproducible within and between laboratories, further verified their reliability being used as QA/QC samples during Pb bioaccessibility assessment.

ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2019; 129:551-564. [PMID: 31170667 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2019.04.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2019] [Revised: 04/12/2019] [Accepted: 04/13/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Fly ash (FA) and zeolite (Z) are known to reduce bioavailability of metals in soils via immobilization; however, these amendments may not only immobilize metals such as copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), but also reduce nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability in the soils via sorption (for N by Z) and precipitation (for P by FA). This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of application of FA and Z (0, 5, and 10% rate) on the availability of nutrients as well as metals in the metal-contaminated soils cultivated with paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.). Both FA and Z reduced Cu and Zn uptake by rice while increasing metal retention in the soils regardless of the application rates. However, reduced uptake of metals did not translate into increase in rice growth, especially at the 10% of amendment rates, due to decreased nutrient uptake as indicated by higher NH4+ and available P concentration in the soils amended with Z and FA, respectively, which inhibited tillering in the early rice growth period and thus reduced biomass accumulation at maturity. Our results suggest that FA and Z may reduce Cu and Zn uptake by rice in the soils contaminated with the metals; however, the availability of N and P is likely to be co-decreased. We suggest that the capacities of FA and Z to immobilize nutrients as well as metals need to be considered prior to using the amendments in metal-contaminated rice paddies.

Ollson CJ, Smith E, Juhasz AL. Can in vitro assays account for interactions between inorganic co-contaminants observed during in vivo relative bioavailability assessment? ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2018; 233:348-355. [PMID: 29096308 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2017.10.089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2017] [Revised: 10/20/2017] [Accepted: 10/23/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
In vitro assays act as surrogate measurements of relative bioavailability (RBA) for inorganic contaminants. The values derived from these assays are routinely used to refine human health risk assessments (HHRA). Extensive in vitro research has been performed on three major inorganic contaminants; As, Cd and Pb. However, the majority of these studies have evaluated the contaminants individually, even in cases when they are found as co-contaminants. Recently, in vivo studies (animal model) have determined that when the three aforementioned contaminants are present in the same soil matrix, they have the ability to influence each other's individual bioavailability. Since in vitro assays are used to inform HHRA, this study investigated whether bioaccessibility methods including the Solubility/Bioavailability Research Consortium (SBRC) assay, and physiologically based extraction test (PBET), have the ability to detect interactions between As, Cd and Pb. Using a similar dosing methodology to recently published in vivo studies, spiked aged (12 years) soil was assessed by evaluating contaminant bioaccessibility individually, in addition to tertiary combinations. In two spiked aged soils (grey and brown chromosols), there was no influence on contaminant bioaccessibility when As, Cd and Pb we present as co-contaminants. However, in a red ferrosol, the presence of As and Pb significantly decreased (p < 0.05) the bioaccessibility of Cd when assessed using gastric and intestinal phases of the SBRC assay and the PBET. Conceivable, differences in key physico-chemical properties (TOC, Fe, Al, P) between the study soils influenced contaminant interactions and bioaccessibility outcomes. Although bioaccessibility methods may not account for interactions between elements as demonstrated in in vivo models, in vitro assessment provides a conservative prediction of contaminant RBA under co-contaminant scenarios.

ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2017; 39:1305-1324. [PMID: 28444474 DOI: 10.1007/s10653-017-9962-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2017] [Accepted: 04/19/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Soil reclamation via additives can cause contradictory effects on the mobilization of toxic elements in soils under dry and wet conditions. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the impact of compost and sulfur in two rates (1.25 and 2.5%) on fractionation, mobilization, and phyto-availability of cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) to sorghum (dry soil) and barnyard grass (wet soil) in a fluvial soil spiked with 25 mg Cd or 200 mg Ni/kg soil. Compost decreased the solubility and mobilization of Cd (especially in dry soil) and Ni (in both soils). Sulfur increased the solubility of Cd (31% in dry soil-49% in wet soil) and Ni (4.6% in wet soil-8.7% in dry soil). Sulfur altered the carbonate fraction of Cd to the soluble fraction and the residual fraction of Cd and Ni to the non-residual fraction. Compost decreased Cd and increased Ni in sorghum, but enhanced Cd and degraded Ni in grass. Sulfur increased Cd and Ni in both plants, and the increasing rate of Cd was higher in grass than in sorghum, while Ni was higher in sorghum than in grass. These results suggest that compost can be used as an immobilizing agent for Cd in the dry soil and Ni in the wet soil; however, it might be used as mobilizing agent for Cd in the wet soil and Ni in the dry soil. Sulfur (with rate 2.5%) can be used for enhancing the phyto-extraction of Cd and Ni (especially Cd) from contaminated alkaline soils.

Abstract
Interaction effects of As, Cd and Pb on their respective bioaccessibility in co-contaminated soils were reported. In addition, the influence of aging time (up to 90 days) on potential interactions was also investigated. Experiments were carried out by spiking four diverse soils with single, binary or ternary mixtures of As, Cd and Pb. Soils were measured for bioaccessibility at different aging periods. Results demonstrate that bioaccessibility of As, Cd and Pb reached a steady state after soils were aged for 30 days. Bioaccessibility of As, Cd and Pb in soils spiked with binary mixtures of As, Cd and Pb were not affected by the other co-existing metal/metalloid. But when As, Cd and Pb were introduced together to acidic soils which lacked abundant binding sites, intestinal bioaccessibility of Cd was increased at the early stage of aging (7 to 30 days) whilst bioaccessibility of As and Pb remained unchanged. However, when Pb and As were added after Cd has been incubated in soil for 7 days, Cd intestinal bioaccessibility was not influenced by As and Pb. Therefore, a number of factors should be taken into consideration when estimating the bioaccessibility of mixed As, Cd and Pb, including the loadings of As, Cd and Pb in soils, the time for which they have been aged together and the time period between As, Cd and Pb entering the soils.
