Double-endpoint Genotoxicity Quantification and PAHs Characterization of Drinking Water Source alongside Polluted Yinghe River with High Tumor Mortality.

Abstract
The etiology for the high tumor mortality in heavy polluted Yinghe river basin is still unclear and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) belong to the priority pollutants in water based on the former surveillance data. In order to explore the potential genotoxicants contributing to the double-endpoint genotoxicity of polluted drinking water source, 12 groundwater and 3 surface water samples were collected from 3 villages and the nearby rivers alongside Yinghe river basin, respectively and their comprehensive genotoxicity was estimated with a bioassay group of SOS/umu test and micronucleus (MN) test (MNT). Some groundwater samples showed positive genotoxicity and all surface water samples were highly genotoxic. Eight groundwater samples showed DNA genotoxic effect with the average 4-NQO equivalent concentration (TEQ(4-NQO)) of 0.067 µg/L and 0.089 µg/L in wet and dry season, respectively. The average MN ratios of groundwater samples were 14.19‰ and 17.52‰ in wet and dry season, respectively. Groundwater samples showed different genotoxic effect among 3 villages. The total PAHs concentrations in all water samples ranged from 8.98 to 25.17 ng/L with an average of 14.97±4.85 ng/L. BaA, CHR, BkF, BaP and DBA were the main carcinogenic PAHs contributing to the genotoxicity of water samples. In conclusion, carcinogenic PAHs are possibly related to the high tumor mortality in the target area. Characterization of carcinogenic PAHs to genotoxicity of drinking water source may shed light on the etiology study for high tumor mortality in Yinghe river basin.
