Nearly 20 years ago, SETAC published the results of a Pellston Workshop on methods for assessing and setting sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) and associated tools (Wenning et al., 2004). This was done to compile the state of science describing the harmful effects of chemical contaminants in sediments on freshwater and marine aquatic life. Since then, there have been significant advances in sediment ecotoxicology, monitoring methods, and risk assessment practices, as well as management strategies. The definition of “sediment quality” has also evolved and now encompasses more than just toxicity. It considers the chemical and physical characteristics of sediment that contribute to the health of aquatic ecosystems, including the quality of overlying waters and aquatic food chains. Advances have been made in the interpretation of the ecosystem services both provided and affected by sediments (Apitz, 2012), as well as environmental baseline values used to identify the nature and extent of environmental changes outside the range of natural variability (Brown et al., 2022).While sediment sampling methods have changed little over the years, the methods for analyzing and interpreting various biological, chemical, and physical parameters used to evaluate sediment risk have advanced considerably (Bruce et al., 2021). Broader and smarter sediment screening methods and advanced analytical chemistry and assessment methodologies capable of providing insights into the drivers of sediment toxicity offer some relief to traditional limitations of sediment quality investigations (Brennan et al., 2021; de Baat et al., 2019; Feiler et al., 2013). Nanosensors and new analytical methods are available for assessing biological contamination, nanopollution, and new and/or emerging chemical substances in sediments and surface waters to support management activities that protect aquatic life and human health (Hairom et al., 2021). Passive sampling, toxicity identification evaluation methods, and omics-based eco-surveillance tools have matured considerably and provide data that inform sediment assessment, regulation, and management (Heise et al., 2020; Li et al., 2018; Shah et al., 2019). New methods involving measurements of e-DNA and e-RNA and other molecular biomonitoring tools, less intrusive passive samplers to measure contaminants in sediment porewater, and the determination of metrics of biotic and ecological integrity (e.g., taxonomic richness, composition, and tolerance and/or intolerance indices) provide indispensable information for managing aquatic ecosystems more effectively (Anaisce et al., 2023; Giroux et al., 2022).At the same time, climate change and a relatively new suite of “emerging” contaminants, such as microplastics, nanoparticles, substances in personal care and pharma

这种新的关注取决于对生态系统特定沉积物质量的更广泛理解。例如，沉积物作为保护海滩和海岸线以及创造和维持湿地和沿海生境的材料来源，必须具有合适的质量，也就是说，沉积物必须不含潜在有害的污染物浓度。在制定可持续的长期管理计划和决策时，地区和国家沿海及河流流域战略也需要更深入地考虑基线沉积物数量和质量条件的作用。世界各地的商业港口都面临着不可避免的挑战，既要保持和保护环境，又要平衡流域和沿海地区的经济发展和社会需求。对水生生态系统的环境评估通常包括对沉积物的评估和测量，重点是土地和水的利用、景观尺度的管理，以及对生物多样性和生态系统功能与服务的提供和恢复的影响。这些观点和对未来的预测清楚地表明，了解和管理沉积物在流域尺度上对各种终点的动态相互作用，对于今后有效管理沉积物至关重要。未来的沉积物管理，包括疏浚物处理和沉积物有益再利用战略，以及适应全球变化的战略，都需要通过强调自然和基于自然的解决方案来保持沉积物质量和保护水生生态系统，从而迅速适应变化。在 20 年后的今天，我们发现企业和政府的资源管理专业人员对有关评估和管理受污染沉积物的实用科学信息指导有着强烈的需求。沉积物在地表水质和食物链中发挥着重要作用。一直以来，人们对调查和评估方法如何为沉积物管理、保护水生资源和人类对水生环境的利用提供信息关注不够。此外，目前全世界还没有统一的技术指南。这引发了监管机构和利益相关者对沿海、淡水和海洋生态系统管理的持续争论，特别是在涉及渔业、污染和水质的跨境管理的情况下。需要深入了解诊断沉积物生态系统的特定生物、化学和地球物理特性的基本科学原理和不同工具的效用。虽然推导 SQGs 所依据的大部分科学依据与 20 世纪 90 年代相比没有变化，但应提醒利益相关者注意与不同方法相关的优势、局限性和方法上的不确定性，这些方法用于推导监管机构经常使用的特定化学物质或特定水体沉积物质量基准和指导值。因此，我们认为现在是新一代科学家和专业人士重新审视影响沉积物中污染物风险和行为的化学、物理和生物属性的时候了。同时，我们也需要重新审视为修复、生态恢复和可持续沉积物管理决策提供信息的工具和实践。我们与国际专家团队合作，已开始将这些进展整理成一本新书，讨论 21 世纪管理中的沉积物评估问题。我们的目标是在 2025 年分享这些知识。对于研究人员来说，我们希望这本书能激励他们开发出更好的新方法和工具，将污染沉积物的调查、评估和修复与未来的沉积物管理实践结合起来。对于沉积物管理者和监管机构，我们希望能进一步激励他们对水生生态系统进行长期和可持续的管理：写作-原稿；写作-审阅和编辑。Sabine E.

The American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) classifies the safety of refrigerants based on their flammability and toxicity. Toxicity classifications are based on Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL), which estimate industry workers' exposure conditions and frequency (ASHRAE, 2013, 2019). Using these exposure limits and acute toxicity exposure limit values set to prevent danger to life or health, the toxicity classifications are based on a threshold, where Class A (lower toxicity) is assigned when the OEL is higher than 400 ppm while Class B (higher toxicity) refrigerants have OELs below this threshold (ASHRAE, 2013). In general, refrigerants are not considered to be highly toxic compounds. Table 1 shows that the most commonly used hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerants are in Class A1, which is an indication of lower toxicity for mammals (“A”) and no flame propagation (“1”) (ASHRAE, 2013). Nevertheless, it is important to point out that this toxicity classification only pertains to the parent compound and not necessarily to the precursors used in refrigerant manufacturing or the degradation products resulting from refrigerant emissions or use. Furthermore, the fully fluorinated methyl group (-CF3) in HFOs has prompted their classification as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the United States and Europe (Table 1).The newest classes of refrigerants, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and HFOs or halogenated olefins are currently in use due to their low global warming potentials (GWPs) and negligible ozone depletion potentials (ODPs). The addition of hydrogen in HFCs and a double bond in HFOs have helped lower their GWPs. For example, the double bond in HFOs is highly reactive with atmospheric hydroxyl (OH) radicals, which leads to their short atmospheric lifetimes and low GWP. However, because these compounds degrade quickly, they have the potential to create significant yields of various degradation products. One of the most well-known degradation products, particularly from HFCs (e.g., R-227ea) and HFOs (e.g., R-1234yf), is trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), whose classification as an ultrashort PFAS is under considerable debate (Table 1). This classification has policy implications as both the European Commission and the USEPA have signaled their commitments to systematically decrease the usage of PFAS compounds (Glüge et al., 2020). Scientific arguments have been made to manage all PFAS compounds together as a chemical class because of their common characteristics of being highly persistent, bioaccumulative, and potentially hazardous (Kwiatkowski et al., 2020). Trifluoroacetic acid is the simplest of the perfluorocarboxylic acid (PFCA) group of substances (Burkholder et al., 2015) and is generally regarded to be highly persistent in the environment, toxic at elevated concentrations, and bioaccumulative dependin

美国采暖、制冷和空调工程师学会（ASHRAE）根据制冷剂的可燃性和毒性对其安全性进行分类。毒性分类基于职业接触限值（OEL），该限值估计了行业工人的接触条件和频率（ASHRAE，2013 年，2019 年）。利用这些接触限值和为防止危及生命或健康而设定的急性毒性接触限值，毒性分类以阈值为基础，当 OEL 高于 400 ppm 时，则划分为 A 类（低毒性），而 B 类（高毒性）制冷剂的 OEL 低于该阈值（ASHRAE，2013 年）。一般来说，制冷剂不属于剧毒化合物。表 1 显示，最常用的氢氟烯烃 (HFO) 制冷剂属于 A1 级，这表明其对哺乳动物的毒性较低（"A"），且无火焰传播性（"1"）（ASHRAE，2013 年）。不过，必须指出的是，这种毒性分类只与母体化合物有关，而不一定与制冷剂制造过程中使用的前体或制冷剂排放或使用过程中产生的降解产物有关。此外，HFOs 中的全氟化甲基（-CF3）已促使美国和欧洲将其归类为全氟和多氟化烷基物质（PFAS）（表 1）。在 HFCs 中加入氢和在 HFOs 中加入双键有助于降低其全球升温潜能值。例如，氢氟烯烃中的双键与大气中的羟基（OH）自由基高度反应，导致其在大气中的寿命较短，全球升温潜能值较低。然而，由于这些化合物降解迅速，它们有可能产生大量的各种降解产物。最著名的降解产物之一是三氟乙酸（TFA），尤其是来自 HFCs（如 R-227ea）和 HFOs（如 R-1234yf）的降解产物。这种分类对政策有影响，因为欧盟委员会和美国环保局都表示将致力于系统地减少 PFAS 化合物的使用（Glüge 等人，2020 年）。由于全氟辛烷磺酸化合物具有高持久性、生物累积性和潜在危害性等共同特点，因此科学界主张将所有全氟辛烷磺酸化合物作为一类化学物质进行统一管理（Kwiatkowski 等人，2020 年）。三氟乙酸是全氟羧酸（PFCA）类物质中最简单的一种（Burkholder 等人，2015 年），通常被认为在环境中具有高度持久性，在浓度升高时具有毒性，并且根据其在环境中的分散情况具有生物累积性。虽然反式脂肪酸可被植物从受污染的土壤中吸收并在植物体内转移（Boutonnet 等人，1999 年），但由于其辛醇/水分配系数很低（Xu 等人，2022 年），没有足够的证据表明其在食物链中的生物累积潜力。因此，有些人认为反式脂肪酸及其人为前体（如氢氟烯烃）应被排除在未来任何监管行动之外（Singh & Papanastasiou, 2021）。与卤代烯烃制冷剂相关的最大不确定因素之一是，它们是否会降解产生足够的反式脂肪酸，以提高全球海洋中估计的 239 纳克反式脂肪酸钠盐 L-1 的标称值（Frank 等人，2002 年；UNEP，2022a）。美国环保局和欧洲化学品管理局 (ECHA) 等监管机构已表示，希望通过生命周期评估 (LCA) 框架开始分析任何全氟辛烷磺酸及相关化合物（ECHA，2023 年）。这就需要分析潜在有害和持久性化合物是如何使用的，以及在其生产、消费品使用和报废处理的整个过程中如何影响环境和人类健康。已经针对全氟辛烷磺酸提出了生命周期评估框架的迭代，以更好地描述其对环境的影响（Holmquist 等人，2020 年）。Holmquist 等人（2020 年）提出的生态毒性生命周期影响评估 (LCIA) 框架综合了全氟辛烷磺酸及其转化馏分、人体毒性以及海洋和淡水水生生态毒性，以预测全氟辛烷磺酸在水生系统中的归宿和累积。这项研究的主要发现之一是，即使全氟辛烷磺酸的排放量很低，也会对生命周期评估结果产生巨大影响（Holmquist 等人，2020 年）。一般而言，生命周期评估框架包括目标和范围定义、清单分析、影响评估和解释（ISO:14040，2006 年）。

Despite decades of fate and effects studies, environmental selenium (Se) contamination and management remain an issue for many freshwater systems in North America. Several regulatory bodies have promulgated updated targets or management levels for Se; however, additional guidance on best practices for monitoring Se to protect freshwater aquatic life is warranted. In this article, we describe current approaches to assessing the ecological risks of Se in impaired freshwater systems and outline recommended methods for collecting and analyzing biological and abiotic samples and interpreting data. Because reproductive impairment of fish populations is most commonly used to determine the potential impacts of Se, several biological factors that could affect Se toxicity are explored, including diet, trophic positions, reproductive biology, body size and maturity, migratory movements, and use of seasonal habitats. Measuring Se concentrations in mature eggs is the most reliable metric for estimating potential reproductive impairment in fish populations because the range of toxicity thresholds is relatively narrow for all but a few tolerant fish species. In situations where collecting mature eggs is not feasible, we review the use of alternative fish tissue for estimating potential effects.

尽管进行了数十年的转归和影响研究，环境硒（Se）污染和管理仍然是北美许多淡水系统面临的问题。一些监管机构已经颁布了硒的最新目标或管理水平；然而，还需要更多有关监测硒的最佳实践的指导，以保护淡水水生生物。在这篇文章中，我们介绍了目前评估受损淡水系统中 Se 的生态风险的方法，并概述了收集和分析生物及非生物样本以及解释数据的推荐方法。由于鱼类种群的生殖损伤最常用于确定 Se 的潜在影响，因此我们探讨了可能影响 Se 毒性的几个生物因素，包括饮食、营养位置、生殖生物学、体型和成熟度、洄游运动以及季节性栖息地的使用。测量成熟鱼卵中的 Se 浓度是估计鱼类种群潜在生殖损伤的最可靠指标，因为除少数耐受性鱼类外，所有鱼类的毒性阈值范围都相对较窄。在收集成熟鱼卵不可行的情况下，我们审查了使用替代鱼组织来估计潜在影响的方法。我们还考虑了影响淡水中 Se 吸收的因素，并就收集非生物（如水和沉积物）和水生食物网的生物成分（如大型无脊椎动物、生物膜）提供了指导。集成环境评估管理 2024;00:1-16。© 2024 SETAC.

Effective resource allocation in the agri-food sector is essential in mitigating environmental impacts and moving toward circular food supply chains. The potential of integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) with machine learning has been highlighted in recent studies. This hybrid framework is valuable not only for assessing food supply chains but also for improving them toward a more sustainable system. Yet, an essential step in the optimization process is defining the optimization boundaries, or minimum and maximum quantities for the variables. Usually, the boundaries for optimization variables in these studies are obtained from the minimum and maximum values found through interviews and surveys. A deviation in these ranges can impact the final optimization results. To address this issue, this study applies the Delphi method for identifying variable optimization boundaries. A hybrid environmental assessment framework linking LCA, multilayer perceptron artificial neural network, the Delphi method, and genetic algorithm was used for optimizing the pomegranate production system. The results indicated that the suggested framework holds promise for achieving substantial mitigation in environmental impacts (potential reduction of global warming by 46%) within the explored case study. Inclusion of the Delphi method for variable boundary determination brings novelty to the resource allocation optimization process in the agri-food sector.

农业食品行业的有效资源分配对于减轻环境影响和实现循环食品供应链至关重要。最近的研究强调了将生命周期评估（LCA）与机器学习相结合的潜力。这种混合框架不仅对评估食品供应链很有价值，而且对改善供应链以实现更可持续的系统也很有价值。然而，优化过程中的一个重要步骤是定义优化边界或变量的最小和最大数量。通常，这些研究中优化变量的边界是通过访谈和调查得出的最小值和最大值。这些范围的偏差会影响最终的优化结果。为解决这一问题，本研究采用德尔菲法确定变量优化边界。在优化石榴生产系统时，使用了一个将生命周期评估、多层感知器人工神经网络、德尔菲法和遗传算法联系起来的混合环境评估框架。结果表明，在所探讨的案例研究中，所建议的框架有望大幅减少对环境的影响（全球变暖的潜在影响减少 46%）。采用德尔菲法确定变量边界为农业食品行业的资源配置优化过程带来了新意。Integr Environ Assess Manag 2024;00:1-11。© 2024 SETAC.

Since 2019, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) has actively developed pesticide environmental risk assessment (ERA) frameworks adapted to Brazil's specific ecological contexts. This endeavor, supported by funding from the Brazilian Ministry of Justice and in partnership with academic institutions, has led to a concerted effort to establish ERA protocols for various taxa, including birds and mammals, soil organisms, aquatic organisms, and reptiles and amphibians. The outcomes of this initiative were conveyed in two workshops held in February and November 2023, during which the agency communicated its findings to the technical-regulatory community. This article represents one of two articles that provide more detailed insights into the ERA propositions for all taxa. In this article, we summarize the proposals for aquatic organisms presented and discussed during the workshops, which can be used as an informational source by the technical-regulatory community.

In 2023, European governments submitted a proposal to comprehensively ban per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), prompting a shift toward PFAS-free alternatives. However, recent research has emphasized the need for an integrated approach to chemical assessment and environmental management rather than abrupt PFAS substitution, as alternatives may pose similar or greater risks. The PFAS Guide was developed to aid corporations in this critical transition. Its goal is to simplify PFAS identification, safe substitution, and gradual elimination. This study applies the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess how perceived usefulness (PU) and ease of use of the PFAS Guide impact corporate intentions to adopt it. Our analysis, based on responses from 104 European companies, demonstrates a positive link between PU, ease of use, and a company's intent to adopt the PFAS Guide. This underscores the importance of corporations perceiving the PFAS Guide as a valuable and user-friendly resource, given its substantial impact on PFAS phase-out. Descriptive statistics revealed an interesting finding: 51.9% of the participants fell into the “other” group, as outlined in the PFAS Guide. This raises questions regarding the grouping of companies into various sectors. Based on our results, we propose improvements to the PFAS Guide by broadening sector representation to encompass a more diverse range of industries with sector-specific guidance, ensuring content relevance, and accentuating user experience using interactive resources. Future research should focus on the actual adoption and use of the guide to gain deeper insights into adoption rates and long-term PFAS Guide utilization. Furthermore, additional investigations should incorporate subgroup analyses, data triangulation, and a longitudinal approach to enhance our understanding of the factors that support and hinder integrated chemical assessment and environmental management. These research efforts are pivotal in guiding chemical policy and management practices, contributing to a PFAS-free future. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2024;20:2175–2188. © 2024 The Author(s).

2023 年，欧洲各国政府提交了一份全面禁止全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质 (PFAS) 的提案，促使人们转向使用不含 PFAS 的替代品。然而，最近的研究强调，由于替代品可能会带来类似或更大的风险，因此有必要采用综合方法进行化学品评估和环境管理，而不是突然用 PFAS 取而代之。制定《PFAS 指南》就是为了帮助企业实现这一关键转变。其目标是简化 PFAS 的识别、安全替代和逐步消除。本研究采用技术接受模型 (TAM) 来评估《PFAS 指南》的感知有用性 (PU) 和易用性如何影响企业采用该指南的意愿。我们根据 104 家欧洲公司的反馈进行了分析，结果表明感知有用性、易用性与公司采用《全氟辛烷磺酸指南》的意愿之间存在正向联系。这突出表明，鉴于《PFAS 指南》对逐步淘汰 PFAS 的重大影响，企业认为《PFAS 指南》是有价值且便于使用的资源非常重要。描述性统计显示了一个有趣的发现：51.9% 的参与者属于《PFAS 指南》中列出的 "其他 "组。这就提出了将公司归入不同行业的问题。根据我们的研究结果，我们建议对《PFAS 指南》进行改进，扩大行业代表性，使其涵盖更多样化的行业，并提供针对特定行业的指导，确保内容的相关性，并利用互动资源突出用户体验。未来的研究应侧重于指南的实际采用和使用情况，以深入了解采用率和《PFAS 指南》的长期使用情况。此外，更多的调查应包括分组分析、数据三角测量和纵向方法，以加深我们对支持和阻碍综合化学品评估和环境管理的因素的理解。这些研究工作对指导化学品政策和管理实践至关重要，有助于实现无 PFAS 的未来。综合环境评估管理》2024;20:1-14。© 2024 作者。综合环境评估与管理》由 Wiley Periodicals LLC 代表环境毒理学与化学学会 (SETAC) 出版。

Habitat plays a crucial role in shaping the macroinvertebrate community structure in large shallow lakes. In the pursuit of improving the health of freshwater ecosystems, it is imperative to consider their habitat characteristics. To evaluate the impact of habitat variations on lake ecological health, we developed a macroinvertebrate-based multimetric index (MMI) for both the pelagic and littoral zones of Lake Hongze. Additionally, we employed structural equation models to explore the influence of utilization or phytoplankton biomass on ecological health. Historical data served as reference conditions for the pelagic. Seven key attributes were selected for the pelagic MMI, that is, Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP), the percentage of Mollusca taxa, the percentage of filter-collector taxa, the percentage of predator taxa, the percentage of gather-collector taxa, and the percentage of sensitive taxa and functional dispersion. The least minimally disturbed conditions and the best attainable conditions were used to develop the littoral. Four key metrics, that is, the percentage of scraper abundance, Mollusca taxa, Biological Pollution Index, and BMWP, were integrated into the littoral MMI. The assessment based on MMI revealed a “poor” health status for the pelagic zone and a “fair” health status for the littoral zone. These findings underscore the high applicability and efficacy of MMIs in assessing and monitoring ecological health in Lake Hongze. Notably, functional feeding groups exhibited heightened sensitivity to disturbance in both zones. Moreover, sediment organic matter strongly influenced the pelagic ecological health, while chlorophyll a and transparency emerged as primary factors influencing the littoral zone, attributable to varying littoral zone utilization.

栖息地对大型浅水湖泊中大型无脊椎动物群落结构的形成起着至关重要的作用。为了改善淡水生态系统的健康状况，必须考虑其生境特征。为了评估生境变化对湖泊生态健康的影响，我们为洪泽湖的浮游区和沿岸区建立了基于大型无脊椎动物的多参数指数（MMI）。此外，我们还采用结构方程模型探讨了利用率或浮游植物生物量对生态健康的影响。历史数据作为浮游生物的参考条件。我们选择了七个关键属性作为浮游生物多指标指数，即生物监测工作组（BMWP）、软体动物类群百分比、滤食性类群百分比、捕食性类群百分比、采集性类群百分比、敏感类群百分比和功能分散性。最小干扰条件和可达到的最佳条件被用于开发滨水区。四个关键指标，即刮刀类丰度百分比、软体动物类群、生物污染指数和 BMWP，被整合到滨海多指标类群中。根据多指标海洋质量指数进行的评估显示，水层区的健康状况为 "较差"，沿岸区的健康状况为 "一般"。这些研究结果表明，多指标类群在评估和监测洪泽湖生态健康方面具有很高的适用性和有效性。值得注意的是，两个区域的功能摄食群对干扰的敏感性都有所提高。此外，沉积物有机质对浮游生物生态健康影响很大，而叶绿素a和透明度则是影响沿岸带的主要因素，这归因于沿岸带利用率的不同。集成环境评估管理 2024;00:1-11。© 2024 SETAC.
