Geochemistry and mineralogy of sediments from the Atlantis II Fracture Zone

Thirteen sediment samples, including calcareous ooze, sandy clay, volcanic sand, gravel, and volcanic breccia, from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Sites 732B, 734B, 734G and Conrad Cruise 27-9, Station 17, were examined. Contents of major and trace elements were determined using XRF or ICP (on samples <0.5 g). Determinations of rare earth elements (REE) were performed using ICP-MS. Mineralogy was determined using XRD. On the basis of the samples studied, the sediments accumulating in the Atlantis II Fracture Zone are characterized by generally high MgO, Cr, and Ni contents compared with other deep-sea sediments. A variety of sources are reflected in the mineralogy and geochemistry of these sediments. Serpentine, brucite, magnetite, and high MgO, Cr, and Ni contents indicate derivation from ultramafic basement. The occurrence of albite, analcime, primary mafic minerals, and smectite/chlorite in some samples, coupled with high SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, Fe2O3, V, and Y indicate contribution from basaltic basement. A third major sediment source is characterized as biogenic material and is reflected primarily in the presence of carbonate minerals, and high CaO, Sr, Pb, and Zn in certain samples. Kaolinite, illite, quartz, and some chlorite are most likely derived from continental areas or other parts of the ocean by long-distance sediment transport in surface or other ocean currents. Proportions of source materials in the sediments reflect the thickness of the sediment cover, slope of the seafloor, and the nature of and proximity to basement lithologies. REE values are low compared to other deep-sea sediments and indicate no evidence of hydrothermal activity in the Atlantis II Fracture Zone sediments. This is supported by major- and trace-element data.

Effect of simulated ocean acidification on the acute toxicity of Cu and Cd to Tigriopus japonicus

Heavy metals pollution in marine environments has caused great damage to marine biological and ecological systems. Heavy metals accumulate in marine creatures, after which they are delivered to higher trophic levels of marine organisms through the marine food chain, which causes serious harm to marine biological systems and human health. Additionally, excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has caused ocean acidification. Indeed, about one third of the CO2 released into the atmosphere by anthropogenic activities since the beginning of the industrial revolution has been absorbed by the world's oceans, which play a key role in moderating climate change. Modeling has shown that, if current trends in CO2 emissions continue, the average pH of the ocean will reach 7.8 by the end of this century, corresponding to 0.5 units below the pre-industrial level, or a three-fold increase in H+ concentration. The ocean pH has not been at this level for several millions of years. Additionally, these changes are occurring at speeds 100 times greater than ever previously observed. As a result, several marine species, communities and ecosystems might not have time to acclimate or adapt to these fast changes in ocean chemistry. In addition, decreasing ocean pH has the potential to seriously affect the growth, development and reproduction reproductive processes of marine organisms, as well as threaten normal development of the marine ecosystem. Copepods are an important part of the meiofauna that play an important role in the marine ecosystem. Pollution of the marine environment can influence their growth and development, as well as the ecological processes they are involved in. Accordingly, there is important scientific value to investigation of the response of copepods to ocean acidification and heavy metals pollution. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of simulated future ocean acidification and the toxicological interaction between ocean acidity and heavy metals of Cu and Cd on T. japonicus. To accomplish this, harpacticoids were exposed to Cu and Cd concentration gradient seawater that had been equilibrated with CO2 and air to reach pH 8.0, 7.7, 7.3 and 6.5 for 96 h. Survival was not significantly suppressed under single sea water acidification, and the final survival rates were greater than 93% in both the experimental groups and the controls. The toxicity of Cu to T. japonicus was significantly affected by sea water acidification, with the 96h LC50 decreasing by nearly threefold from 1.98 to 0.64 mg/L with decreasing pH. The 96 h LC50 of Cd decreased with decreasing pH, but there was no significant difference in mortality among pH treatments. The results of the present study demonstrated that the predicted future ocean acidification has the potential to negatively affect survival of T. japonicus by exacerbating the toxicity of Cu. The calculated safe concentrations of Cu were 11.9 (pH 7.7) and 10.5 (pH 7.3) µg/L, which were below the class I value and very close to the class II level of the China National Quality Standard for Sea Water. Overall, these results indicate that the Chinese coastal sea will face a

Qualidade nutricional de rações para cães: Influência de Zn na absorção de Cu e na prevenção de doença hepática

As rações comerciais devem ser um alimento balanceado que supra todas as exigências nutricionais nas diferentes fases da vida do animal. Sua formulação deve conter ingredientes de qualidade, em proporções adequadas. É de fundamental importância o conhecimento do valor nutricional das rações, para assegurar que o cão esteja ingerindo diariamente quantidades corretas dos nutrientes. O desbalanço de elementos essenciais e a presença de elementos tóxicos podem causar desequilíbrios nutricionais, doenças e, até mesmo, consequências fatais aos cães. O cobre é um dos vários elementos de importância a ser estudado quanto aos defeitos metabólicos nos cães. O acúmulo de cobre no fígado pode ocasionar lesões progressivas nas organelas dos hepatócitos, resultando em hepatite crônica e cirrose. Diante disso, este trabalho teve como objetivos (I) quantificação dos elementos químicos com função nutricional e com potencial tóxico presentes nas rações para cães adultos e filhotes, (II) avaliação da composição centesimal das rações amostradas, (III) avaliação da variação dos elementos químicos entre as amostras de ração de um mesmo lote de produção (IV), estudo da representatividade de pequenas porções-teste, (V) avaliação da bioacessibilidade de cobre em rações, com experimento in vitro. Os elementos químicos Al, As, Br, Ca, Cl, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, I, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, P, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Ti, U e Zn foram determinados pela análise por ativação neutrônica instrumental (INAA). A composição centesimal foi avaliada de acordo com os métodos recomendados da AOAC. A homogeneidade de distribuição dos elementos químicos nas rações foi avaliada pela análise de amostras grandes (LS-NAA). A bioacessibilidade de cobre nas rações foi estimada por meio da simulação da digestão gastrointestinal in vitro. Foi possível determinar por INAA todos os nutrientes minerais, isto é, Ca, P, K, Na, Cl, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, I e Se, com limites estabelecidos pela Association of American Feed Control Officials. Foram notadas em algumas rações altas concentrações de Al, Sb e U, elementos com grande potencial tóxico. Cerca de 16 % das amostras de ração apresentaram, pelo menos, um parâmetro não conforme quanto à composição centesimal. Os resultados obtidos por LS-NAA e NAA convencional mostraram variação na composição entre os sacos de ração para Br, Ca, Na e Zn, com boa concordância entre ambos os métodos. O emprego da LS-NAA combinada com NAA convencional permitiu observar que pequenas porções-teste (350 mg) de ração são representativas comparadas com aquelas de 1 kg para Br, Ca, K, Na e Zn. Em todas as rações para cães, 50 % do cobre presente estava sob a forma bioacessível

Novel one-dimensional structures and solution behaviour of copper(II) bromide and chloride complexes of a new pentapyridyldiamine ligand

Copper(II) bromide and chloride complexes of the new heptadentate ligand 2,6-bis(bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino)methylpyridine (L) have been prepared. For the bromide complexes, chains of novel, approximately C-2-symmetric, chiral [Cu-2(L)Br-2](2+) 'wedge-shaped' tectons are found. The links between the dicopper tectons and the overall chirality and packing of the chains are dictated by the bromide ion content, not the counter anion. In contrast, the chloride complexes exhibit linked asymmetric [Cu-2(L)Cl-3](+) tectons with distinct N3CuCl2 and N4CuCl2 centres in the solid. The overall structures of the dicopper bromide and chloride units persist in solution irrespective of the halide. The redox chemistry of the various species is also described.
