The procedure of SRB assay:
Human lung cancer cell A549 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco)
Logarithmic growth phase cells were diluted with RPMI 1640 medium to achieve a cell
concentration of 7.5 × 105 / mL. 100μL of the cell suspension was added to each well
in a 96-well microtiter plate, then the plates were incubated at 37° C, 5% CO2, and 100%
There were three groups for the test, the test group, menstruum control group, and
parallel control group. The cells in the test group were treated with different
concentrations of the test substance for 48 h, then 50 μL of 50% TCA (10% final
concentration) was added and fixed at 4 ° C for 60 min. The parallel control group was
The plate supernatant was decanted from each well, then the well was washed with
deionized water 5 times and air-dried. SRB was formulated as a 0.4% solution in 1%
acetic acid, and 100 μL was added to each well and left at room temperature for 10
minutes. After washing off the unbound SRB with 1% acetic acid 5 times, the wells
Absorbance was read on a BMG POLAR star Omega microplate reader at a wavelength
of 515 nm.
The parallel control group OD value was recorded as Tz, the menstruum control
group OD value was recorded as C, the test group OD value recorded as Ti:

Paddy field water samples in Table 3 were collected from Beijing (Haidian district),
Hubei province (Huanggang), and Henan province (Huangchuan). Water depth in the
paddy fields was kept at about 15 cm. Paddy field water samples were collected by
grabbing samples in 500 mL bottles with screw caps. Other surface water samples were
randomly chosen from 200 water samples collected from different locations in Beijing.
Water samples were transported back to the lab and stored at -20C until use in
experiments. Water samples were brought back to room temperature and filtered before
chlorination. The chlorination was conducted without phosphate buffer, and the pH was
