Data on organochlorine concentration levels in soil of lowland paddy field, Kelantan, Malaysia.

ABSTRACT: The main goal of this research work is to measure the concentration levels of organochlorine residue in soil. The potential health risk of this pollutant on human was also determined. 10 samples were taken from a lowland paddy field situated in Kelantan, Malaysia. Physical parameters namely soil pH, organic carbon content, water content and particle size were identified to evaluate the quality of soil from the agriculture site. Soxhlet extraction and florisil clean-up process were applied to isolate 10 targeted organochlorine compounds prior to the final determination using a gas chromatography-electron capture detector. Soil from the lowland has characteristics such as slightly acidic, low organic carbon content, high water content and texture dominated by the sandy type. Concentration levels of six detected organochlorine pesticides were calculated in µg/kg. Hazard quotient value in all samples was less than the acceptable risk level HQ ≤ 1, thus reflecting the status of soil in the subjected area as unlikely to pose any adverse health effects.

Organochlorine Pesticides in Karst Soil: Levels, Distribution, and Source Diagnosis.

Project description:Excessive reclamation and improper use of agrochemicals in karst areas leads to serious non-point source pollution, which is of great concern and needs to be controlled, since contaminants can easily pollute groundwater due to the thin patchy soil and developed karst structures. The occurrences of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in karst soil were investigated by analyzing 25 OCPs in the karst soils near the Three Gorges Dam, China. The total concentrations of OCPs ranged 161-43,100 (6410 ± 9620) pg/g, with the most abundant compounds being p,p'-DDT and mirex. The concentration differences between the orchard and vegetable field and between upstream and downstream presented the influences of land-use type and water transport on the OCP spatial distributions. Composition analysis indicated the possible fresh inputs of lindane, technical DDT, aldrin, endrin, mirex, and methoxychlor. Their illegal uses implied an insufficient agrochemical management system in undeveloped karst areas. Principal component analysis with multiple linear regression analysis characterized the dominant sources from current agricultural use and current veterinary use in the study area. OCPs in the soils might not pose significant cancer risk for the residents, but they need to be controlled due to their illegal uses and bioaccumulation effect via the food chain.

Burkholderia pseudomallei in a lowland rice paddy: seasonal changes and influence of soil depth and physico-chemical properties.

Project description:Melioidosis, a severe infection with the environmental bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, is being recognised increasingly frequently. What determines its uneven distribution within endemic areas is poorly understood. We cultured soil from a rice field in Laos for B. pseudomallei at different depths on 4 occasions over a 13-month period. We also measured physical and chemical parameters in order to identify associated characteristics. Overall, 195 of 653 samples (29.7%) yielded B. pseudomallei. A higher prevalence of B. pseudomallei was found at soil depths greater than the 30 cm currently recommended for B. pseudomallei environmental sampling. B. pseudomallei was associated with a high soil water content and low total nitrogen, carbon and organic matter content. Our results suggested that a sampling grid of 25 five metre square quadrats (i.e. 25 × 25 m) should be sufficient to detect B. pseudomallei at a given location if samples are taken at a soil depth of at least 60 cm. However, culture of B. pseudomallei in environmental samples is difficult and liable to variation. Future studies should both rely on molecular approaches and address the micro-heterogeneity of soil when investigating physico-chemical associations with the presence of B. pseudomallei.

Syntrophomonadaceae-affiliated species as active butyrate-utilizing syntrophs in paddy field soil.

Project description:DNA-based stable-isotope probing was applied to identify the active microorganisms involved in syntrophic butyrate oxidation in paddy field soil. After 14 and 21 days of incubation with [U-(13)C]butyrate, the bacterial Syntrophomonadaceae and the archaeal Methanosarcinaceae and Methanocellales incorporated substantial amounts of (13)C label into their nucleic acids. Unexpectedly, members of the Planctomycetes and Chloroflexi were also labeled with (13)C by yet-unclear mechanisms.

Detection of anammox activity and 16S rRNA genes in ravine paddy field soil.

Project description:An anammox assay involving a ¹?N tracer and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed that the potential anammox activity accounted for 1 to 5% of total N? production in a ravine paddy field, Japan. Among four 4-cm-deep layers, the top layer showed the highest activity. Clone libraries showed that the DNA in the top layer contained sequences related to those of Candidatus 'Brocadia fulgida', Ca. 'B. anammoxidans', and Ca. 'Kuenenia stuttgartiensis'. These results suggest that a specific population of anammox bacteria was present in paddy soils, although a small part of dinitrogen gas was emitted from the soil via anammox.

Mitigation of Paddy Field Soil Methane Emissions by Betaproteobacterium Azoarcus Inoculation of Rice Seeds.

Project description:Paddy fields are a major source of atmospheric methane, a greenhouse gas produced by methanogens and consumed by methanotrophs in flooded soil. The inoculation of rice seeds with the bacterium Azoarcus sp. KH32C alters the rice root-associated soil bacterial community composition. The present study investigated the effects of KH32C-inoculated rice cultivation on soil methanogens and methanotrophs involved in methane emissions from a rice paddy field. KH32C-inoculated and non-inoculated rice (cv. Nipponbare) were cultivated in a Japanese rice paddy with and without nitrogen fertilizer. Measurements of methane emissions and soil solution chemical properties revealed increases in methane flux over the waterlogged period with elevations in the concentrations of dissolved methane, dissolved organic carbon, and ferrous iron, which is an indicator of soil reduction levels. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR and amplicon sequencing were used to assess the transcription of the methyl-coenzyme M reductase gene (mcrA) from methanogens and the particulate methane monooxygenase gene (pmoA) from methanotrophs in paddy soil. The results obtained showed not only the transcript copy numbers, but also the compositions of mcrA and pmoA transcripts were related to methane flux. KH32C-inoculated rice cultivation recruited soil methanogens and methanotrophs that suppressed high methane synthesis, increased methane consumption, and decreased methane emissions by 23.5 and 17.2% under non-fertilized and nitrogen-fertilized conditions, respectively, while maintaining rice grain yield. The present study demonstrated the mitigation of paddy field methane emissions arising from the use of KH32C in rice cultivation due to its influence on the compositions of soil methanogen and methanotroph populations.

Soil ammonia-oxidizing archaea in a paddy field with different irrigation and fertilization managements.

Project description:Because ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are ubiquitous and highly abundant in almost all terrestrial soils, they play an important role in soil nitrification. However, the changes in the structure and function of AOA communities and their edaphic drivers in paddy soils under different fertilization and irrigation regimes remain unclear. In this study, we investigated AOA abundance, diversity and activity in acid paddy soils by a field experiment. Results indicated that the highest potential ammonia oxidation (PAO) (0.011 μg NO 2 - -N g-1 d.w.day-1) was found in T2 (optimal irrigation and fertilization)-treated soils, whereas the lowest PAO (0.004 μg NO 2 - -N g-1 d.w.day-1) in T0 (traditional irrigation)- treated soils. Compared with the T0-treated soil, the T2 treatment significantly (P < 0.05) increased AOA abundances. Furthermore, the abundance of AOA was significantly (P < 0.01) positively correlated with pH, soil organic carbon (SOC), and PAO. Meanwhile, pH and SOC content were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the T2-treated soil than those in the T1 (traditional irrigation and fertilization)- treated soil. In addition, these two edaphic factors further influenced the AOA community composition. The AOA phylum Crenarchaeota was mainly found in the T2-treated soils. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that most of the identified OTUs of AOA were mainly affiliated with Crenarchaeota. Furthermore, the T2 treatment had higher rice yield than the T0 and T1 treatments. Together, our findings confirm that T2 might ameliorate soil chemical properties, regulate the AOA community structure, increase the AOA abundance, enhance PAO and consequently maintain rice yields in the present study.

Evaluation of a field kit for testing arsenic in paddy soil contaminated by irrigation water.

Project description:Rice is the primary crop in Bangladesh and rice yield is diminished due to the buildup of arsenic (As) in soil from irrigation with high-As groundwater. Soil testing with an inexpensive kit could help farmers target high-As soil for mitigation or decide to switch to a different crop that is less sensitive to As in soil. A total of 3,240 field kit measurements of As in 0.5 g of fresh soil added to 50 mL of water were compared with total soil As concentrations measured on oven-dried homogenized soil by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). For sets of 12 soil samples collected within a series of rice fields, the average of kit As measurements was a linear function of the average of XRF measurements (r2=0.69). Taking into account that the kit overestimates water As concentrations by about a factor of two, the relationship suggests that about a quarter of the As in paddy soil is released in the kit's reaction vessel. Using the relationship and considering XRF measurements as the reference, the 12-sample average determined correctly whether soil As was above or below a 30 mg/kg threshold in 86% of cases where soil As was above the threshold and in 79% of cases where soil As was below the threshold. We also used a Bayesian approach using 12 kit measurements to estimate the probability that soil As was above a given threshold indicated by XRF measurements. The Bayesian approach is theoretically optimal but was only slightly more accurate than the linear regression. These results show that rice farmers can identify high-As portions of their fields for mitigation using a dozen field kit measurements on fresh soil and base their decisions on this information.
