Hua ZL, Wang YF, Zhang JY, Li XQ, Yu L. Removal of perfluoroalkyl acids and dynamic succession of biofilm microbial communities in the decomposition process of emergent macrophytes in wetlands. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 834:155295. [PMID: 35439517 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.155295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are emerging contaminants that pose significant environmental and health concerns. Water-sediment-macrophyte residue systems were established to clarify the removal efficiency of PFAAs, explore possible removal pathways, and profile the dynamic succession of biofilm microbial communities in the decomposition process. These systems were fortified with 12 PFAAs at three concentration levels. Iris pseudacorus and Alisma orientale were selected as the decomposing emergent macrophytes. The removal rates in the treatments with residues of I. pseudacorus (IP) and A. orientale (AO) were 34.4% to 88.9% and 36.5% to 89.9%, respectively, which were higher than those in the control groups (CG) (30.3% to 86.9%), suggesting that decomposition could alter the removal of PFAAs. Sediment made the greatest contributions (preloaded 14.5% to 77.8% of PFAAs in IP, 14.3% to 78.2% in AO, and 27.4% to 71.9% in CG). PFAAs could also be removed by macrophyte residue sorption (0.0190% to 13.0% in IP and 0.016% to 15.6% in AO) and bioaccumulation of residual biofilm (the contributions of biofilm microbes and their extracellular polymeric substances were 0.0110% to 3.93% and 0.918% to 34.4%, respectively, in IP and 0.0141% to 4.65% and 1.49% to 34.1%, respectively, in AO). Significant correlations were observed between sediment/residue adsorption and bioaccumulation of biofilm microbes, and were significantly correlated with perfluoroalkyl chain length (p < 0.05). The dynamic succession of residual biofilm microbial communities was investigated. The largest difference was found at the preliminary stage. The most similar communities were found in AO on day 70 (with specific genera Macellibacteroides and WCHB1-32) and in IP on day 35 (with specific genera Aeromonas and Flavobacterium). This study is useful to understand the removal of PFAAs during the decomposition process, providing further assistance in removing PFAAs during the life cycle of macrophytes in wetlands.

Abstract
The threat of contamination with toxic metals (TMs) to food security and human health has become a high priority in recent decades. Hence, countless studies have investigated the safe cultivation of rice and fish, respectively, as the main food crop and protein source worldwide. For the present study, a literature search of the PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases identified 11 studies that met the inclusion criteria and provided sufficient data to assess the relationship between TM contamination of rice, fish, and shrimp products from rice-fish co-culture systems and carcinogenic risk (CR) and non-carcinogenic risk (non-CR) to humans. The result showed that consumption of Monopterus albus and rice contaminated with a single TM had a slight non-CR, which is synergistically increased by multiple TMs. Consumption of Procambarus clarkii posed no non-CR to humans. The CR of all studies ranged from 1.77 × 10-10 to 5.65 × 10-8, and less than 1 × 10-6, indicating that under current food safety guidelines, rice and fish produced by rice-fish co-culture systems pose no CR. Rice-fish co-culture systems can greatly reduce the CR and non-CR of TMs to humans.

Mo A, Dang Y, Wang J, Liu C, Yang H, Zhai Y, Wang Y, Yuan Y. Heavy metal residues, releases and food health risks between the two main crayfish culturing models: Rice-crayfish coculture system versus crayfish intensive culture system. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 305:119216. [PMID: 35395351 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
High-density culturing with excessive feeding of commercial feed has caused heavy metals pollution to agricultural production system. In this study, the dynamic changes and transfer of heavy metals in rice-crayfish coculture system (RCCS) and crayfish intensive culture system (CICS) within a completed culture cycle were systematically quantified. Our results showed that Cd in feed represented more than 50% of the total Cd input, and the inputs of As and Cr were mainly from irrigation. The residues of As and Pb in RCCS were slightly higher than those in CICS, while the residues of Cd and Cr in RCCS were far fewer than those in CICS. Moreover, the metal pollution index in CICS was 0.781, while it was 0.543 in the RCCS. Furthermore, a large proportion of the Cd and Pb in CICS was released into the external environment through drainage. Notably, the absorption and solidification of heavy metals by straw did not increase the residues of As and Pb in the major components of RCCS in the second year. Compared to CICS, RCCS did not produce many heavy metal residues or cause heavy metal discharge pressure on the external environment, and its food product had a low risk of heavy metal contamination.
