概括
市政废水污水是拉斯维加斯洗区中和多基物质 (PFAS) 的主要来源,住宅废水是主要贡献者. 其他消息来源,如机场,显示PFAS在主要洗衣机的装载量很小.
科学领域:
- 环境化学环境化学
- 评估水质水质的评估.
- 污染物源追踪 污染物源追踪
背景情况:
- 和多醇基物质 (PFAS) 污染了来自不同来源的地表水,包括工业排放和消防活动.
- 拉斯维加斯洗作为废水排放至米德湖的关键管道,米德湖是美国西南部的重要饮用水库.
- 之前的研究在拉斯维加斯洗中检测到PFAS,但未能确定其来源.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定拉斯维加斯华盛顿州内的和多基物质 (PFAS) 的来源.
- 调查上游支流,废水处理厂废水和浅地下水的PFAS贡献.
- 评估各种潜在的PFAS来源的重要性,包括工业场所,机场和住宅废水.
主要方法:
- 在多个活动中对上游洗支流,废水处理废水和浅地下水井的抽样.
- 对19种不同的PFAS化合物的分析,以确定度和负载.
- 质量负载计算以量化不同来源对拉斯维加斯华盛顿州PFAS总负载的贡献.
主要成果:
- 短链PFAS,特别是 perfluoropentanoic 酸 (48%) 和 perfluorohexanoic 酸 (32%),构成了拉斯维加斯华盛顿州检测到的大部分PFAS.
- 市政废水排放被确定为主要来源,约占PFAS总量装载量的90%.
- 一个民用机场附近的排水区显示了高硫酸的含量,但对主要干水的贡献很小 (≤15%).
- 靠近机场和空军基地的一条小支流显示PFAS度较低,表明它们不是重要的来源.
结论:
- 废水排放,特别是来自住宅来源的废水,是PFAS进入拉斯维加斯华盛顿的主要通道.
- 该研究强调了用于复杂水生系统中PFAS来源调查的方法的有效性.
- 了解废水废水作为主要的PFAS运输路线对于管理米德湖等下游水库的饮用水质量至关重要.

Freshwater Microbial Ecology
Freshwater systems such as streams, rivers, and lakes exhibit distinct physical and biological characteristics that influence their microbial communities. These environments are broadly categorized into lotic systems—those with flowing waters like streams and most rivers—and lentic systems, which include still or slow-moving waters such as lakes, ponds, and marshes.In lentic systems, phytoplankton drive primary production, generating autochthonous organic carbon. In contrast, lotic systems...
Microbial Wastewater Treatment
Microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems play a key role in the natural breakdown of contaminants introduced through domestic and industrial effluents. Acting as biological catalysts, these microbes change and mineralize a wide range of organic and inorganic pollutants under different redox conditions.In oxygen-rich surface waters, aerobic heterotrophs lead organic matter breakdown, using oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor to efficiently oxidize substrates to carbon dioxide and water.
