Derivation of hexachlorocyclohexane toxicity thresholds for assessing ecological risks in the surface waters of China
Although hexachlorocyclohexane (HCHs) being prohibited for a long time in China, they still generally exist in the surface waters and pose a constant threat to aquatic organisms. We retrieved a total of 108 available published literature to assess their ecological risks in the surface waters of China, involving rivers, lakes, and seas. Most of the collected data measured quantifiable HCHs, with the detection rate exceeding 85.0 % for all individual HCHs. A model-averaging species sensitivity distribution (SSD) was constructed to derive the water-quality thresholds of HCHs based on various toxicity endpoints. The results showed that the mortality-based predict no-effect concentration (PNEC) was estimated to be 16.3 and 22.8 μg/L for α-HCH and β-HCH, respectively; The growth-based PNEC at 0.022 μg/L was proposed as the aquatic life criteria of γ-HCH. A certain percentage of aquatic species may face the adverse ecological effect of γ-HCH, with values of potential affected fraction ranging from 0.02 % to 4.76 %. The results of the probabilities of distribution-based quotient (DBQ) exceeding 1/25 showed that the risk of exposure to γ-HCH in the lakes was higher than those in the rivers and sea. The potential-risk sites were mainly located in Yangtze River Basin, Yellow River Basin, Pearl River Basin, and Huaihe River Basin, which belong to the traditional agricultural areas.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
