随着工农业的不断发展,
农田土壤中颗粒态新污染物(Particle
emerging
contaminants,
PECs)的数量持续增加.
PECs因其粒径和界面效应发生团聚-解团聚,
吸附-解吸,
溶解-重塑等迁移转化行为,
影响其环境归趋与健康风险.
PECs的独特粒径效应,
使其不仅对生物体造成化学损伤,
还会对生物体产生物理损伤,
破坏生物体的细胞膜结构,
导致氧化胁迫.
此外,
PECs还具有缓释特性,
通过溶解和生物降解等过程缓慢释放出有害物质,
产生长期胁迫.
根际作为土壤中物质进入植物的重要门户,
也是PECs在农田土壤中发生生物地球化学过程的关键微域.
本综述指出,
PECs不仅可以直接被根系吸收和吸附,
还会刺激低分子量有机酸等根系分泌物的释放,
驱动根际微生物和土壤动物的群落组成与功能变化,
导致根际效应;
根际特殊的理化性质使得PECs的根际环境行为不同于非根际,
PECs暴露促进还原态低分子量有机酸类根系分泌物的释放,
促进PECs的还原、重塑和颗粒分散;
根系分泌物促使根际成为土壤微生物和土壤动物的活动热区,
两者活跃的生理行为进一步增加了PECs的根际迁移与转化,
增加PECs的生物有效性和暴露风险.
明晰PECs的根际赋存与转化特征,
为其环境健康风险评估和原位植物修复提供理论基础.
