采用GC/MS方法分析了5个内陆湖泊(巢湖、滇池、红枫湖、青海湖和四海龙湾)钻孔沉积物中HB-PBDEs(高溴联苯醚,包括九溴和十溴的联苯醚)的垂直分布状况,并对它们的组成特征及其在环境中的降解进行了分析.结果显示,5个内陆湖泊表层沉积物中有机碳归一化后的w(ΣHB-PBDEs)为17.5~977.9 ng/g,其中滇池、红枫湖和巢湖HB-PBDEs的污染相对较为严重;与国内外其他研究相比,我国内陆湖泊沉积物中BDE-209的污染状况相对较轻.沉积物中HB-PBDEs的组成特征显示,BDE-209不但在大气传输过程中发生了明显降解,而且在进入湖泊沉积物后也发生了明显降解.由于BDE-209在不同环境介质中都可发生降解,并且降解产物为毒性更大的低溴代单体,因此进一步研究BDE-209在环境中的降解具有重要意义.
The vertical distribution of highly brominated polybrominated diphenyl ethers(HB-PBDEs,including nona-and deca-BDEs) in drilling sediments from five inland lakes(Lake Chaohu,Lake Dianchi,Lake Hongfeng,Lake Qinghai and a maar Lake Sihailongwan) were examined using GCMS method.The composition and potential environmental degradation of these compounds were also identified.The results indicated that TOC normalized total HB-PBDEs contents in the five surface sediments ranged from 17.5 to 977.9 ngg,with relatively high levels obtained from Dianchi,Hongfeng and Chaohu,which were still far less than reported data from other areas in China and developed countries.The composition of HB-PBDEs in these sediment cores suggested that considerable degradation of BDE-209 occurred not only during long-range atmospheric transport,but also in the lake sediments.Because BDE-209 can degrade to more toxic low brominated congeners in the environment,it is of great importance to further investigate the environmental degradation of BDE-209.
