Recurring transcranial permanent magnet activation regarding stopping smoking: a new crucial multicenter double-blind randomized managed trial.
This indicated that the PBDEs in soil had become a major source of pollution emission and suggested that soil remediation should be carried out at the e-waste dismantling site and parts of farmland in FJ. Contrary to FJ, atmospheric deposition was the major migration trend of PBDEs and the soil was the main sink of PBDEs in BH. This indicated that e-waste dismantling site in BH could be a new source of PBDEs emission in this area.A total of 92 corn grain samples, around the Pb-Zn mining area in Southwest China, were collected to evaluate the contamination and health risk of heavy metals. Heavy metals including Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, and Ni in samples were analyzed. A single factor pollution index and comprehensive pollution index were calculated to assess the quality of corn grains. The potential health risks to adults and children due to the intake of these heavy metals through consumption of crops were evaluated using the health risk index. The results showed that the average contents of Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, and Ni in corn grains were 0.30, 23.75, 0.21, 1.33, and 1.15 mg ·kg-1, respectively, Among the metals, the content of Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, and Ni exceeded the national food hygiene standards. The Nemero index of Pb, Cd, Cr, and Ni ranged from 4.32 to 9.07, indicating an extremely high level, whereas the contamination of Zn reached an alarming level. The assessment results of the comprehensive health risk index for the corn grains indicated that the contamination of heavy metals poses health risks to adults and children by food ingestion; moreover, the children were more sensitive to various heavy metals than the adults. Principle component analysis revealed that the first main component dominated the sources of Pb, Cd, Cr, and Ni, while the second main component, Zn, might have originated from sources different from the other heavy metals. Positive correlations were not observed between the heavy metals in corns and soils.The absorption and accumulation of As at different stages of rice growth are significantly different. To study the key growth stages of As accumulation in brown rice and to determine the contribution of As accumulation at different growth stages to As contribution in brown rice, a rice hydroponics experiment was carried out by adding external As during the different rice growth stages tillering stage (30 d), jointing stage (16 d), booting stage (13 d), filling stage (17 d), dough stage (15 d), maturity stage (13 d), and full growth period (104 d). The results showed that ① As stress at different growth stages had a significant effect on the biomass of rice plants. In comparison with the control CK, the treatments of As stress with five single-stages decreased the rice biomass, except during the tillering stage. Necrostatin-1 datasheet Among these treatments, although the As stress at booting stage had the lowest rice biomass, the biomass of all the rice plants were higher than that for As stress in the full growth period. ② The content of As in brown rice for all the treatments of As stress at six single-stages, ranging from 0.08-0.24 mg ·kg-1, was higher than that of CK. Among these six treatments, the As stress at booting stage had the highest As content in brown rice, accounting for 64.9% of the As content in the full growth period. ③ The accumulation of As in brown rice for all the treatments of As stress at six single-stages was higher than that of CK, and ranged from 1.4-1.5 μg ·plant-1. Among these six treatments, the As stress at booting stage had the highest As accumulation, followed by filling stage. The accumulation of As in brown rice treated with As stress was highest in the full growth period with a value of 5.7 μg ·plant-1. ④ The relative contribution of As stress at the booting stage was the highest for the As accumulation in brown rice and reached to 40.3%, followed by filling stage with 26.0%. Therefore, the rice growth stages of the booting stage and filling stage were the key stages of As accumulation in brown rice.In this study, we investigated the effects of exogenous phosphorus on the accumulation and transportation of cadmium in rice plants through a hydroponic experiment. In the experiment, the rice variety was Huanghuazhan, P solution concentrations were 10.0-45.0 mg ·L-1 that was made using NaH2PO4, and Cd solution concentrations were 0.1 mg ·L-1 and 0.2 mg ·L-1. The results showed that ① the biomass in all parts of rice plants and contents of photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid) increased gradually with an increase in exogenous P. ② Content of Cd in rice stems, leaves, husk, and brown rice increased gradually with an increase in the amounts of exogenous P. The content of Cd in brown rice increased by 2.8%-22.8% and 40.9%-61.8% when treated with Cd concentrations of 0.1 mg ·L-1 and 0.2 mg ·L-1 in hydroponic solutions, respectively. ③ Cd accumulation in rice plants was accelerated due to the application of exogenous P. Cd accumulating amounts increased from 395.1 μg ·plant-1 to 542.6 μg ·plant-1 and 639.6 μg ·plant-1 to 1082.0 μg ·plant-1 when treated with Cd concentrations of 0.1 and 0.2 mg ·L-1 in hydroponic solutions, respectively. ④ With an increase in the applied amounts of exogenous P, the P/Cd quality ratio in rice roots increased, while those in rice stems, leaves, husks, and brown rice decreased; meanwhile, the Cd transfer coefficients from root to stem (TFroot-stem) and stem to leaf (TFstem-leaf) increased. This showed that there was a certain synergistic effect between P and Cd in the rice parts. Finally, the application of exogenous P promoted the transfer of Cd from the rice root to other rice tissues, resulting in a synergistic effect on Cd accumulation and transportation in various rice tissues and increased Cd contents in brown rice.In this study, we investigated the effectiveness and microbial mechanism of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens biofertilizer on reducing ammonia volatilization in farmland soil. Pot experiments were carried out to explore the effects of B. amyloliquefaciens biofertilizer (BB) and chemical fertilizer on soil ammonia volatilization, crop yield and quality, and soil microbial community. Four fertilization strategies were tested, namely no fertilizer (CK), 100% chemical fertilizer (C), 50% BB and 50% chemical fertilizer (B1), and 100% BB (B2). The dynamic flow-through chamber method was used to determine the soil ammonia volatilization flux after fertilization. The soil bacterial community during the peak period of ammonia volatilization was analyzed using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that the amount of ammonia volatilization in B1 and B2 decreased by 79.5% and 84.8%, respectively, as compared with treatment C. B2 had the lowest nitrate content and the highest yield; the yield of B2 increased by 50.
