概括
在基尔湾倾倒的二战弹药是 (Hg) 的来源. 虽然Hg在弹药地点附近的沉积物中升高,但由于混合和去除过程,水污染仍然很低.
科学领域:
- 环境化学环境化学
- 海洋污染 海洋污染
- 毒理学 毒理学 毒理学
背景情况:
- (Hg) 是一种持久性污染物,甲基 (MeHg) 是一种强大的神经毒素.
- 世界大战 (WW) 含有Hg fulminate的弹药被倾倒在海洋环境中,构成潜在的长期Hg来源.
- 数十年后,水下弹药的腐蚀会将危险化合物释放到海洋环境中.
研究的目的:
- 评估德国基尔湾区域 (Hg) 污染水平.
- 为了量化来自世界大战 (WW) 弹药的Hg污染.
- 调查弹药倾倒场向海洋环境释放的可能性.
主要方法:
- 从基尔湾收集和分析水和沉积物样本,目标是弹药倾倒场 (Kolberger Heide) 和控制区.
- 测量沉积物和水柱中的 (Hg) 和甲基 (MeHg) 度.
- 进行沉积物-水交换实验以确定Hg和MeHg流.
主要成果:
- 与背景地点 (14 ± 18 ng/g) 相比,Kolberger Heide弹药倾倒场附近的沉积物Hg度显著增加 (125 ± 76 ng/g).
- 在水柱中溶解的Hg度在各位点 (0.82.1 pM) 上没有显著的变化.
- 沉积物和水中的甲基 (MeHg) 度在任何采样地点都没有升高.
结论:
- 靠近世界大战 (WW) 弹药的基尔湾沉积物作为潜在的 (Hg) 来源.
- 尽管沉积物中的Hg含量局部升高,但水柱混合和去除过程有效地限制了Hg排放到上面的水域.
- 可能需要进一步的研究,以充分了解Hg从弹药垃圾场的长期命运和运输.

The Periodic Table and Organismal Elements
17.1K
Elements are the smallest units of matter that cannot be broken down further by chemical processes. There are 118 known elements, but not all of these are naturally occurring, and only a few of them are essential for life. Living matter is composed primarily of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, with smaller amounts of other elements like calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur. Other elements are also necessary for life but only in trace amounts.

Oxymercuration-Reduction of Alkenes
7.6K
Oxymercuration–reduction of alkenes is one of the major reactions converting alkenes to alcohols. It involves the hydration of alkenes with mercuric acetate in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and water, forming an organomercury adduct. This is followed by a demercuration step in which the adduct is reduced to an alcohol using sodium borohydride.
