Cui L, Li X, Luo Y, Gao X, Wang Y, Lv X, Zhang H, Lei K. A comprehensive review of the effects of salinity, dissolved organic carbon, pH, and temperature on copper biotoxicity: Implications for setting the copper marine water quality criteria. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:169587. [PMID: 38154639 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169587] [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: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the ecological hazards associated with copper, which has sparked increased interest in copper water quality criteria (WQC). The crucial factors affecting the bioavailability of copper in seawater are now acknowledged to be salinity, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), pH, and temperature. Research on the influence of these four water quality parameters on copper toxicity is rapidly expanding. However, a comprehensive and clear understanding of the relevant mechanisms is currently lacking, hindering the development of a consistent international method to establish the seawater WQC value for copper. As a response to this knowledge gap, this study presents a comprehensive summary with two key focuses: (1) It meticulously analyzes the effects of salinity, DOC, pH, and temperature on copper toxicity to marine organisms. It takes into account the adaptability of different species to salinity, pH and temperature. (2) Additionally, the study delves into the impact of these four water parameters on the acute toxicity values of copper on marine organisms while also reviewing the methods used in establishing the marine WQC value of copper. The study proposed a two-step process: initially zoning based on the difference of salinity and DOC, followed by the establishment of Cu WQC values for different zones during various seasons, considering the impacts of water quality parameters on copper toxicity. By providing fundamental scientific insights, this research not only enhances our understanding and predictive capabilities concerning water quality parameter-dependent Cu toxicity in marine organisms but also contributes to the development of copper seawater WQC values. Ultimately, this valuable information facilitates more informed decision-making in marine water quality management efforts.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:77737-77754. [PMID: 35687290 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-21233-7] [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: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Subsurface sequestration of CO2 produced by industrial production is an effective way to control the excessive emission of greenhouse gases and alleviate the potential global warming. However, CO2 leakage is likely to occur in its long-term sub-seabed sequestration, posing a great threat to the marine environment and the marine ecology. Previous investigations mainly focused on the implementation of CO2 sequestration project, ignoring the subsequent potential environmental hazards such as CO2 leakage, let alone the post-treatment of these accidents. In the present work, secondary sequestration mechanism of hydrate-bearing sediment for leaked CO2 was explored, and the effect of two important factors (hydrate saturation and sediment thickness) on it was then analyzed. It is expected to provide reference for exploring engineering measures to secondary sequestrate the leaked CO2 and avoid the catastrophic environmental accidents. The experimental results demonstrate that the role of hydrate in secondary sequestration for leaked CO2 is mainly due to its filling and occupation of the migration channels in sediment. In addition, due to the secondary sequestration of CO2 hydrate, change in seawater pH value caused by dissolution of leaked CO2 in water can be significantly weakened. Besides, with the increasing hydrate saturation and sediment thickness, CO2 hydrate plays a progressively obvious role in secondary sequestration of CO2 and avoiding great change in the marine environment. In this way, the leaked CO2 can be secondary sequestrated by designing/optimizing the characteristics of hydrate-bearing sediment. The investigation demonstrates that most of the leaked CO2 can be secondary sequestrated only when the hydrate saturation exceeds 0.30 and/or thickness of hydrate-bearing sediment exceeds 3.0 cm. The experimental investigation herein can provide technical support for avoiding environmental disasters caused by the leakage of long-term sequestrated CO2.

Abstract
The effects of CO2-related acidification on two crustacean populations, the isopod Cyathura carinata and the amphipod Elasmopus rapax, were studied. Three pH levels were tested: artificial seawater without CO2 injection and two levels of reduced pH. Even though RNA:DNA ratio was reduced for both species, no statistical significant differences were found between the control and the treatments. Both species experienced a reduction in survivorship, longevity and the body length of surviving animals; although the impairment observed in E. rapax was more severe than in C. carinata. The long life span isopod and the short life span amphipod experienced a high degree of impairment in the reproduction, likely due to the reallocation of resources from reproduction to body maintenance and increasing survival by postponing the brood production. Regardless of the underlying processes and the energetic pathways, both experienced failure to reproduce, which could lead to the local extinction of these species.

Highly stable and selective measurement of Fe 3+ ions under environmentally relevant conditions via an excitation-based multiwavelength method using N, S-doped carbon dots. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2019; 170:443-451.

Abstract
Fast and accurate detection of Fe3+ under relevant natural conditions is important in environmental monitoring. In this study, an improved and simplified fluorescence method based on the multiwavelength luminescence in the visible region and the avoidance of the self-quenching property of N, S-doped carbon dots (NSC-Dots) was developed for the first time to determine Fe3+ concentration under varied environmental conditions. This method can simultaneously save time and provide accurate information. The as-prepared NSC-Dots exhibit two stable excitation peaks from 200 nm to 450 nm at a fixed emission wavelength (λem = 450 nm). A standard equation (R2 = 0.995) can be derived by measuring the quenching degree of the two peaks and referring to Stern-Volmer theory. Thus, Fe3+ concentration was accurately determined. The interference of the environmentally relevant concentrations of other metal ions, humic acid, and pH on Fe3+ measurement was tested. Results showed that the standard equation can be used to accurately determine Fe3+ concentration within the range of the 95% prediction band. The fast and facile multiwavelength method may facilitate the real-time monitoring of Fe3+ concentration in complex water environments.

Will temperature and salinity changes exacerbate the effects of seawater acidification on the marine microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum? THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2018; 634:87-94.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects related to the combination of potential future changes in pH, temperature and salinity on microalgae, a laboratory experiment was performed using the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Populations of this species were exposed during 48h to a three-factor experimental design (3×2×2) with two artificial pH values (6, 7.4), two levels of temperature (23°C, 28°C), two levels of salinity (34psu, 40psu) and a control (pH8, Temp 23°C, Sal 34psu). The effects on growth, cell viability, metabolic activity, and inherent cell properties (size, complexity and autofluorescence) of P. tricornutum were studied using flow cytometry. The results showed adverse effects on cultures exposed to pH6 and high temperature and salinity, being the inherent cell properties the most sensitive response. Also, linked effects of these parameters resulted on cell viability and cell size decrease and an increase of cell autofluorescence. The conclusions obtained from this work are useful to address the potential effects of climate change (in terms of changes on pH, salinity and temperature) in microalgae.

Abstract
The effects of acidification related to the CO2 enrichment in the coastal environments on marine macrobenthic abundance, diversity and richness were analyzed in a medium- term (21 days) using mesocosm experiments. Two sampling sites located in the Bay of Cadiz - SW, Spain were selected and tested at pH values ranged from 7.9 to 6.0 (± 0.1). Moreover, variations in the concentrations of metals in the sediment samples were analyzed at the end of each experiment. The results showed low variation in the concentrations of metals in the sediment among the pH treatments. A significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the abundance, diversity and richness of assemblages were measured between the control and the lowest pH level in both sampling sites tested in this study (Rio San Pedro and El Trocadero). The majority of species were found in all samples except in pH 6.0 which only two species were found (Hydrobia ulvae and Scrobicularia plana,) in Rio San Pedro sediment fauna. In general, the results of cluster analysis showed 60% and 40% similarity in all replicated tests in El Trocadero and Rio San Pedro of sediment fauna, respectively. The results of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that both sediment parameters and pH reduction can interfere in the benthic assemblage indices. Although the assemblages' indices have shown decreases only in the lower pHs, the organisms also could be impacted by chronic effects. Therefore, the extension of this study is important in order to improve the knowledge about the risks associated with CO2 enrichment in on marine organisms.

Abstract
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the bioavailability of metals related to CO2 enrichment on the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis by metal's bioaccumulation analysis. Two sediment samples were selected and subjected to different pH levels. Concentrations of metals were measured in the overlying seawater and in the whole body of mussels exposed on the 7th, 14th and 21st days. Results showed that the CO2 enrichment in aquatic ecosystems cause significant (p < 0.05) changes on the concentrations of Cu, Zn, Ni, Mn and As between the control pH and pH 7.0 after 7 days of exposure; and in the concentration of Fe at pH 6.0 using the RSP sediment. The multivariate analysis results showed that the increase in the bioaccumulation of some metals in mussels was linked to the acidification. It was concluded that many factors may interfere in the results when the acidification and bioavailability of metals are inquired.

Abstract
Carbon capture and storage is a technology that has been widely determined to be one of the best choices for the short-term reduction of atmospheric CO2 emissions. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of CO2 enrichment in the ocean on the mussel species Mytilus galloprovincialis using three different endpoints: mortality, embryo-larval development, and neutral red retention time assays (NRRT). Acute effects were found to be associated with a pH values of 6.0 while citotoxity effects and embryo-larval development were associated with a pH value of 7.0. The NRRT assay and embryo-larval development can be recommended as good endpoints for assessing the environmental risk associated with acidification by CO2 enrichment because they provide sensitive responses on the effects of changes in seawater pH on mussels in a short period of time. Moreover, this study may support policymakers in finding appropriate solutions for the conservation of marine ecosystems.
