Abstract
The significant threat of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to aquatic environments health has been widely acknowledged. To date, several studies have focused on the distribution and diversity of ARGs in a single river while their profiles in complex river networks are largely known. Here, the spatiotemporal dynamics of ARG profiles in a canal network were examined using high-throughput quantitative PCR, and the underlying assembly processes and its main environmental influencing factors were elucidated using multiple statistical analyses. The results demonstrated significant seasonal dynamics with greater richness and relative abundance of ARGs observed during the dry season compared to the wet season. ARG profiles exhibited a pronounced distance-decay pattern in the dry season, whereas no such pattern was evident in the wet season. Null model analysis indicated that deterministic processes, in contrast to stochastic processes, had a significant impact on shaping the ARG profiles. Furthermore, it was found that Firmicutes and pH emerged as the foremost factors influencing these profiles. This study enhanced our comprehension of the variations in ARG profiles within canal networks, which may contribute to the design of efficient management approaches aimed at restraining the propagation of ARGs.

Occurrence, source apportionment, and ecological risk of legacy and emerging per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the Dahei river basin of a typical arid region in China. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 246:118111. [PMID: 38184065 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118111] [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: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are artificial chemicals with broad commercial and industrial applications. Many studies about PFASs have been conducted in densely industrial and populated regions. However, fewer studies have focused on the PFASs' status in a typical arid region. Here, we investigated 30 legacy and emerging PFASs in surface water from the mainstream and tributaries of the Dahei River. Our results revealed that total PFASs concentrations (∑30PFASs) in water ranged from 3.13 to 289.1 ng/L (mean: 25.40 ng/L). Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) had the highest mean concentration of 2.44 ng/L with a 100% detection frequency (DF), followed by perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) (mean concentration: 1.34 ng/L, DF: 59.26%). Also, perfluorohexane sulfonate (DF: 44.44%), perfluorobutane sulfonate (DF: 88.89%), and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) (DF: 92.59%) had mean concentrations of 12.94, 2.00, and 1.05 ng/L, respectively. Source apportionment through ratio analysis and principal component analysis-multiple linear regression analysis showed that treated or untreated sewage, aqueous film-forming foam, degradation of precursors, and fluoropolymer production were the primary sources. The PFOS alternatives were more prevalent than those of PFOA. Conductivity, total phosphorus, and chlorophyll a positively correlated with Σ30PFASs and total perfluoroalkane sulfonates concentrations. Furthermore, ecological risk assessment showed that more attention should be paid to perfluorooctadecanoic acid, perfluorohexadecanoic acid, perfluorooctane sulfonate, perfluorohexane sulfonate, and (6:2 and 6:2/8:2) polyfluoroalkyl phosphate mono- and di-esters. The mass load of PFASs to the Yellow River was 1.28 kg/year due to the low annual runoff in the Dahei River in the arid region. This study provides baseline data for PFASs in the Dahei River that can aid in the development of effective management strategies for controlling PFASs pollution in typical arid regions in China.

Abstract
Dense populations and industries in regions with developed inland waterways have caused the significant discharge of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) into surrounding waterways. Despite being the dominant energy input in the waterways, the impact of ship navigation on endogenous PFAA release is unclear. In this study, a field experiment was carried out in the Wangyu River (Taihu Basin, China) to investigate the spatiotemporal distribution processes of PFAAs in the water column after passage of ships with different tonnages, speeds, and draughts. The results showed that the PFAA contents did not decrease continuously with time but increased with a lag after the passing ship triggered a transient massive dissolution of PFAAs into the overlying water. In addition, PFAA contents in suspended particulate matter (SPM) exhibited a fluctuating downward trends after their peak at the moment of ship passage. Vertically, the PFAA concentrations among the layers of overlying water were relatively homogeneous, whereas SPM exhibited substantial heterogeneity in its distribution and adsorption of PFAAs. Moreover, the differences in jet scouring velocity (u), disturbance duration (t), and draught (h) of ships resulted in large variability in PFAA contents in the water column. Variance partitioning analysis further quantified the effects of u, t, and h on total PFAAs in the water column, with individual contributions of 53 %, 12 %, and 6 %, respectively. Furthermore, the release of endogenous PFAAs induced by ship passage involved rapid and slow processes, the former determining the overall PFAA release and the latter affecting PFAA concentration recovery in the water column. The findings provide in-situ observational data on spatiotemporal variations of PFAAs in multiphase media following ship passage, enhancing our understanding of endogenous pollution in inland waterways.

Abstract
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a widespread and emerging organic contaminant of aquatic environments, has high bioaccumulation potential and high toxicity. Consequently, major concerns have been raised worldwide regarding the management of this pollutant in aquatic ecosystems. To thoroughly understand PFOA's toxic effects on aquatic organisms, systematic investigations were conducted on the cellular responses of Microcystis aeruginosa to the environmental concentrations of PFOA under various concentrations as well as phosphorus (P) conditions (concentrations and forms). The results showed that P conditions remarkably affected cyanobacterial growth as well as photosynthetic pigment content, triggered oxidative stress to disrupt the function and structure of the cell membrane, and caused changes in the extracellular and intracellular contents of microcystin-LR (MC-LR). Furthermore, PFOA (100 μg/L) was absorbed by cyanobacterial cells through the stimulation of the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) by M. aeruginosa. After entering the cyanobacterial cells, PFOA inhibited photosynthesis, reduced P absorption, induced oxidative damage, lead to a loss of cell integrity evident in scanning electron microscope images, and increased mcyA gene expression to promote MC-LR production. Moreover, the limited P concentration and forms conditions led to increased PFOA absorption by cyanobacterial cells, which further upregulated mcyA gene expression and increased the risk of MC-LR diffusion into the aquatic environment. Our present study provided a theoretical basis and new ideas for understanding and addressing safety issues related to the presence of PFOA in aquatic environments with varying nutritional statuses.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms underlying perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) translocation, distribution, and accumulation in wheat-soil ecosystems is essential for agricultural soil pollution control and crop ecological risk assessment. This study systematically investigated the translocation of 13 PFAAs under different iron and nitrogen fertilization conditions in a wheat-soil ecosystem. Short-chain PFAAs including PFBA, PFPeA, PFHxA, and PFBS mostly accumulated in soil solution (10.43-55.33%) and soluble extracellular polymeric substances (S-EPS) (11.39-14.77%) by the adsorption to amino- (-NH2) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups in dissolved organic matter (DOM). Other PFAAs with longer carbon chain lengths were mostly distributed on the soil particle surface by hydrophobic actions (74.63-94.24%). Iron-nitrogen amendments triggered (p < 0.05) soil iron-nitrogen cycling, rhizospheric reactive oxygen species fluctuations, and the concentration increases of -NH2 and -OH in the DOM structure. Thus, the accumulation capacity of PFAAs in soil solution and root EPS was increased. In sum, PFAAs' translocation from soil particles to wheat root was synergistically reduced by iron and nitrogen fertilization through increased adsorption of soil particles (p < 0.05) and the retention of soil solution and root EPSs. This study highlights the potential of iron-nitrogen amendments in decreasing the crop ecological risks to PFAAs' pollution.

Abstract
The coastal area was the major region receiving pollution from land-based sources into the sea. Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in famous bays had aroused wide concern, but the importance of underdeveloped or small bays with notable levels of PFAAs were often neglected. Moreover, the roles of suspended sediment (SPS) and water column stratification on PFAA behaviors were unclear. In this study, PFAAs distribution in multiphase-multilayer in four underdeveloped bays (two urban bays and two island bays) were investigated. The urban bays not only had higher PFAA contamination but also posed a greater threat of short-chain PFAAs in water-SPS-sediment system than the island bays. The major source of PFAAs in water and SPS was domestic sewage in urban bays and was rainfall-runoff in island bays. Water column stratification with higher PFAA partition in water-SPS system in the surface layer than in the bottom layer was only found in the urban bays due to the higher human activity intensity. These provided new perspectives for managing emerging contaminants and establishing water quality criteria in the turbid coastal environment. The key role of SPS as a carrier offered possibilities to accurately differentiate the effects of dissolved and particulate PFAAs on bioavailability.

Abstract
Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are continuously accumulated in surface sediments due to extensive and long-term application. However, the mechanisms through which disturbances induced by ship propeller jets at the riverbed cause secondary release of PFAAs from sediments remain unclear. In this study, the effects of different propeller rotational speeds on PFAA migration, release, and distribution in multiphase media were investigated by performing indoor flume experiments combined with particle tracking velocimetry. Moreover, key factors influencing PFAA migration and distribution were identified, and partial least squares regression (PLS) method was applied to develop quantitative prediction models of relationships among hydrodynamics, physicochemical parameters, and PFAA distribution coefficients. The total PFAA concentrations (ΣPFAAs) in overlying water under propeller jet action exhibited transient characteristics and hysteresis with time after the disturbance. In contrast, the ΣPFAAs in suspended particulate matter (SPM) exhibited an upward trend throughout the process with consistent characteristics. The spatial distribution trends of PFAAs in overlying water and SPM at different propeller rotational speeds featured vertical variability and axial consistency. Furthermore, PFAA release from sediments was driven by axial flow velocity (Vx) and Reynolds normal stress Ryy, while PFAA release from porewater was inextricably linked to Reynolds stresses Rxx, Rxy, and Rzz (p < 0.05). PLS regression models showed that variations in Vorticity, dissolved organic carbon, and pH influenced the decreases in PFAA distribution coefficients between SPM and overlying water (KD-SW) as propeller rotational speed increased, except for very long-chain PFAAs (C > 10). The increases in PFAA distribution coefficients between sediment and porewater (KD-SP) were mainly determined by physicochemical parameters of sediments, and the direct effect of hydrodynamics was relatively weak. Our study provides valuable information regarding the migration and distribution of PFAAs in multiphase media under propeller jet disturbance (both during and after disturbance).

Differences in bacterial community composition, structure and function between sediments in waterways and non-navigable channels in a plain river network area. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:45910-45923.

Abstract
Bacterial communities greatly help maintain the balance of river ecosystems and are highly sensitive to changes in environmental conditions. Plain river network areas (PRNs) are characterized by dense river networks, low-lying terrain, and slow water flow, where the bottom sediment is frequently disturbed by ship navigation due to the limited water depth and width of waterways, providing a unique ecological niche for bacterial growth. Hence, understanding how bacterial communities in PRNs respond to changes in hydrodynamic conditions, physicochemical parameters, and pollutants under ship navigation is essential to maintaining the stability of inland waterway ecosystems. The Taihu Lake Basin, a typical PRN, was selected to explore the differences in bacterial community composition, structure and function between sediments in waterways (WS) and non-navigable channels (NS). The results indicate that the sediment from NS possessed more diverse and complex bacterial communities than WS. NMDS and ANOSIM analyses further verified the significant differences in bacterial community structure between WS and NS. Combined with LEfSe, we observed the highly differential taxonomy between WS and NS from phylum to order. Moreover, a comparison of beta diversity dissimilarity indices revealed that although species replacement dominated both the WS and NS beta-diversity patterns, species loss caused the differences in the overall beta diversity between them. Variance partitioning analysis revealed that physicochemical parameters (clay content, pH, ORP, and others) and ship traffic volume (STV) were the main driving factors for bacterial community distribution between WS and NS, while pollutants (heavy metals, perfluoroalkyl acids, and others) had a relatively minor influence. PICRUSt2 analysis revealed that the changes in pH, ORP, and STV under ship navigation might inhibit the bacterial ability to metabolize carbohydrates. The results reveal the comprehensive effects of ship navigation disturbance on sediment bacterial communities in the PRN and contribute to further understanding of inland waterway ecosystems.

Abstract
Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are manmade chemicals that have wide industrial and commercial application. However, little research has been carried out on PFASs pollution in groundwater from a previously contaminated site. Here, we investigated 43 PFASs in a monitoring campaign from two different aquifers in the North China Plain. Our results revealed that total PFASs concentrations (∑43PFASs) ranged from 0.22 to 3,776.76 ng/L, with no spatial or compositional differences. Moreover, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluoroheptane sulfonate (PFHpS) were the dominant pollutants with mean concentrations of 177.33 ng/L and 51 ng/L, respectively. ∑43PFAS decreased with well depth due to the adsorption of PFASs to the aquifer materials. Water temperature, total organic carbon, dissolved oxygen, and total phosphorus concentrations were correlated to the PFAS concentrations. Principal component analysis indicated that the main sources of PFASs in groundwater were untreated industrial discharge, untreated domestic wastewater, food packaging, aqueous film forming foams and metal plating, and surface runoff, which overlapped with the industries that previously existed in a nearby city. Human health risks from drinking contaminated groundwater were low to the local residents, with children aged 1-2 years being the most sensitive group. One specific site with a high PFOA concentration was of concern, as it was several orders higher than the 70 ng/L recommended by US Environmental Protection Agency health advisory. This study provided baseline data for PFASs in a previously-contaminated site, which will help in the development of effective strategies for controlling PFASs pollution in the North China Plain.

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.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 305:114436. [PMID: 34999447 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.114436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Revised: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The impact of sluice operations on the distribution and fate of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) remains poorly understood. In this study, the distribution of PFAAs was investigated in water, suspended particles, sediment, and pore water from the upstream and downstream sections of six sluice gates along the Wangyu River, China. The target PFAAs were widely distributed in the dissolved phase (∑PFAAs: 447.61 ± 180.26 ng/L), particle phase (∑PFAAs: 2040.95 ± 1870.88 ng/g dw), sedimentary phase (∑PFAAs: 39.42 ± 35.38 ng/g dw), and pore water phase (∑PFAAs: 8172.54 ± 4278.60 ng/L). Our data suggest predominant detections of short-chain PFAAs such as perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) in the four environmental media. Sediment pore water appeared as an essential repository and potential source for PFAA re-release to the river environment. The levels of PFAAs in the dissolved and suspended particle phase upstream of the sluices were significantly lower than those downstream, while the situation in the sediment and pore water phase was the opposite. Sluice operation caused PFAA redistribution among the multi-environment media but did not change the PFAA composition, which had the significant effect on the partition behavior of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) between particles and water, as well as changed the migration pattern of PFOA, PFNA and PFOS from equilibrium to the migration state. Quantitative prediction models were developed for simulating fate of PFAAs in gate-controlled river, and the major factors affecting the distribution and fate of PFAAs were identified. Our findings provide insights into the redistribution mechanisms of PFAAs and an understanding of their environmental fate.

Abstract
The occurrence, spatial distribution, potential sources, and risk assessment of 14 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), including 11 perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids and 3 perfluoroalkyl sulfonates acids, were investigated in 21 drinking water sources from the lower Yangtze River in November 2019. The total PFAAs (∑PFAAs) concentrations ranged from 39.3 to 220.3 ng/L, and perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonate were predominant with average concentrations of 19.4 and 15.4 ng/L, respectively. The higher ∑PFAAs concentrations in the southern shore and downstream could be attributed to industrial development and surface runoff/tide currents, respectively. Principal component analysis-multiple linear regression revealed that the primary sources of PFAAs were fluororesin coatings/metal plating, surface runoff/textile, effluent discharge/food packaging, and leather/fabrics. Human intake risks of PFAAs were assessed by target hazard quotient (THQ), which showed that human health risks of PFAAs decreased with increasing age, excluding 13-17 years age group. Moreover, the total exposure risks of PFOA/PFOS in all sampling sites to people aged over 18 years calculated based on contribution from drinking water were noted to be at safe level. The results obtained were helpful for improving our understanding of human health risks of PFAAs, and expanding our knowledge on PFAAs in drinking water.

Abstract
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) pose serious threats to aquatic ecosystems, especially their microbial communities. However, little is known about the phylosymbiosis of aquatic fungal and viridiplantae communities in response to PFC accumulation. We quantified the distribution of 14 PFCs in rivers and found that PFBA was dominant in the transition from water to sediment. High through-put sequencing revealed that phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Anthophyta, and Chlorophyta were the predominant in eukaryotic community. The effects of PFCs on spatial community coalescence at taxonomic and phylogenetic levels (p < 0.05) were revealed. Fungal community coalescence triggered the spatial assembly of fungal and viridiplantae communities in riverine environments (p < 0.05). Null modeling indicated that PFBA, PFTrDA and PFOS, etc, mediated phylogenetic assembly (p < 0.05) and stochastic processes (86.67-100%) maintain phylogenetic turnover in the fungal community. Meanwhile, variable selection (27.78-54.44%) explained the viridiplantae community assemblage. Finally, we identified fungal genera Hannaella, Naganishia, Purpureocillium and Stachybotrys as indicators for PFC pollution (p < 0.001). These results help explain the effects of PFCs on riverine ecological remediation.

Abstract
In this study, the occurrence, spatial distribution, potential sources, mass inventory, and ecological risk assessment of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in surface sediments from the lower Yangtze River were investigated based on field and laboratory assays conducted in November 2019. The total concentrations of 13 target PFAAs (∑PFAAs) ranged from 13.83 to 20.33 ng/g dw, and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) were predominant in the surface sediments with average concentrations of 2.89 and 4.07 ng/g dw, respectively. The ∑PFAAs concentrations in pore-water ranged from 23.30 to 58.81 ng/L, and PFOA and PFOS were predominant with mean concentrations of 6.29 and 5.04 ng/L, respectively. The profiles of PFAAs composition in surface sediments showed limited difference. Results of fugacity model revealed that PFOS was in relative equilibrium, whereas PFOA exhibited a diffusion trend from sediments to water body. Correlation analysis and positive matrix factorization demonstrated that the main sources of ∑PFAAs were electroplating and fast-food packaging, degradation products and textile, mixed sources, and PFOA-based products. The mass inventory of ∑PFAAs was estimated to be 1680.72 kg, and the results of ecological risk assessments based on equilibrium partition and species sensitivity distribution methods suggested that the hazards of PFAAs in sediments to local aquatic organisms are low. However, the evaluation methods and control measures of PFAAs in surface sediments are still limited, requiring further research.
