Risks of the meiliang bay source of drinking water in taihu lake (MLBSDW-THL) on environmental health

Abstract

There was a cyanobacteria bloom polluted in the area of Meiliang Bay source of drinking water in Taihu Lake (MLB-SDW-THL) in 2007 when MLB-SDW-THL couldn't be used to make a tap water for people drinking and washing. Three years later, whether MLB-SDW-THL had biochemical effects on the mouse serum were conducted in this research for predication of its risks on human and environmental health. The water samples of MLB-SDWTHL were taken at N31.53 and E120.21 in March of 2010 and kept at 4°C for the experiment. Measurement of 22 organic pollutants with DSQ II Single Quadruple GC/MS in selected ion monitoring (SIM) indicated that 11 of them were discovered in MLB-SDW-THL. Mouse Mus musculus were feed with MLB-SDW-THL for 90d under standard conditions. The eighteen serum biochemical parameters, the clinical parameters used in China hospitals, were measured by Automatic Biochemical Analysis/RerLi 600 and the parameter data of treated by One-Way ANOVA statistic approach. The results showed that among the measured eighteen serum biochemical parameters, six of the 18 parameter levels were decreased significantly (0.01
