Lithium production has dramatically increased over the past decade, and the first cases of environmental Li pollution have been recently reported in urban and mining regions. While elevated Li concentrations may be toxic for living organisms, tools to monitor Li in the environment have not yet been developed. Consequently, its impact on key biota and human health is still poorly known. The present laboratory-based study shows that the soft tissues of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) can be used to quantify Li contamination in coastal waters. Stable Li isotope ratios (7Li/6Li) measured in these soft tissues correlate positively with seawater Li concentrations and show precisely the threshold above which mussels shift their depuration mechanism. Combined with other data from the natural environment, the experimental results have profound implications for the fate of coastal ecosystems and shellfish consumption living under a high Li environmental level. We also highlight the need to develop innovative tools to extract Li from wastewaters before its release into rivers and, ultimately, the ocean.

贻贝软组织中锂同位素的生物积累及其对沿海环境的影响

锂产量在过去十年中急剧增加,最近在城市和矿区报道了第一批环境锂污染案例。虽然升高的锂浓度可能对生物体有毒,但尚未开发出监测环境中锂的工具。因此,它对关键生物群和人类健康的影响仍然知之甚少。目前基于实验室的研究表明,蓝贻贝 ( Mytilus edulis )的软组织可用于量化沿海水域的锂污染。稳定的锂同位素比 ( 7 Li/ 6在这些软组织中测量的 Li) 与海水中的 Li 浓度呈正相关,并精确显示了贻贝改变其净化机制的阈值。结合来自自然环境的其他数据,实验结果对沿海生态系统的命运和生活在高锂环境下的贝类消费具有深远的影响。我们还强调需要开发创新工具,在废水排放到河流并最终排放到海洋之前从废水中提取锂。
