Major ionic compositions of fine particulate matter in an animal feeding operation facility and its vicinity

Animal feeding operations (AFOs) produce particulate matter (PM) and gaseous pollutants. Investigation of the chemical composition of PM_2.5 inside and in the local vicinity of AFOs can help to understand the impact of the AFO emissions on ambient secondary PM formation. This study was conducted on a commercial egg production farm in North Carolina. Samples of PM_2.5 were collected from five stations, with one located in an egg production house and the other four located in the vicinity of the farm along four wind directions. The major ions of NH₄⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, SO₄^2?, Cl^?, and NO₃^? were analyzed using ion chromatography (IC). In the house, the mostly abundant ions were SO₄^2?, Cl^?, and K⁺. At ambient stations, SO₄^2?, and NH₄⁺ were the two most abundant ions. In the house, NH₄⁺, SO₄^2?, and NO₃^? accounted for only 10% of the PM_2.5 mass; at ambient locations, NH₄⁺, SO₄^2?, and NO₃^? accounted for 36–41% of the PM_2.5 mass. In the house, NH₄⁺ had small seasonal variations indicating that gas-phase NH₃ was not the only major force driving its gas–particle partitioning. At the ambient stations, NH₄⁺ had the highest concentrations in summer. In the house, K⁺, Na⁺, and Cl^? were highly correlated with each other. In ambient locations, SO₄^2? and NH₄⁺ had a strong correlation, whereas in the house, SO₄^2? and NH₄⁺ had a very weak correlation. Ambient temperature and solar radiation were positively correlated with NH₄⁺ and SO₄^2?. This study suggests that secondary PM formation inside the animal house was not an important source of PM_2.5. In the vicinity, NH₃ emissions had greater impact on PM_2.5 formation.

ImplicationsThe chemical composition of PM_2.5 inside and in the local vicinity of AFOs showed the impact of the AFO emissions on ambient secondary PM_2.5 formation, and the fate and transport of air pollutants associated with AFOs. The results may help to manage in-house animal facility air quality, and to develop regional air quality control strategies and policies, especially in animal agriculture-concentrated areas.     

Effects of high ammonium level on biomass accumulation of common duckweed Lemna minor L.

Growing common duckweed Lemna minor L. in diluted livestock wastewater is an alternative option for pollutants removal and consequently the accumulated duckweed biomass can be used for bioenergy production. However, the biomass accumulation can be inhibited by high level of ammonium (NH₄ ⁺) in non-diluted livestock wastewater and the mechanism of ammonium inhibition is not fully understood. In this study, the effect of high concentration of NH₄ ⁺ on L. minor biomass accumulation was investigated using NH₄ ⁺ as sole source of nitrogen (N). NH₄ ⁺-induced toxicity symptoms were observed when L. minor was exposed to high concentrations of ammonium nitrogen (NH₄ ⁺-N) after a 7-day cultivation. L. minor exposed to the NH₄ ⁺-N concentration of 840 mg l^?1 exhibited reduced relative growth rate, contents of carbon (C) and photosynthetic pigments, and C/N ratio. Ammonium irons were inhibitory to the synthesis of photosynthetic pigments and caused C/N imbalance in L. minor. These symptoms could further cause premature senescence of the fronds, and restrain their reproduction, growth and biomass accumulation. L. minor could grow at NH₄ ⁺-N concentrations of 7–84 mg l^?1 and the optimal NH₄ ⁺-N concentration was 28 mg l^?1.

The annual variation in stomatal ammonia compensation point of rye grass (Lolium perenne L.) leaves in an intensively managed grassland

The stomatal ammonia compensation point for ammonia (NH₃) of an intensively managed pasture of rye grass (Lolium perenne L.) was followed from mid January till November 2000. Leaf samples were taken every week. Simultaneously, the ambient NH₃ concentration was measured. Meteorological data (temperature, wind speed, rainfall and radiance) were collected from a nearby field station. The vacuum infiltration technique was used to isolate the apoplastic solution of the leaves. From the determined ammonium (NH₄⁺) concentration and pH in the apoplast, the gaseous NH₃ concentration inside the leaves was calculated, i.e. the so-called stomatal compensation point (χ_s).Temperature appeared to have a predominant effect on χ_s, partly by affecting the equilibrium between gaseous NH₃ inside the leaf and NH₃ dissolved in the apoplast and partly by affecting physiological processes influencing the NH₄⁺ concentration in the apoplast. Results of the present study suggest that these temperature effects were counteracting. On one hand temperature increase during early spring stimulated NH₃ volatilisation from the apoplast, on the other hand it led to a decline in apoplastic NH₄⁺ from 0.9 to 0.2 mM, thereby diminishing the emission potential of the leaf. The low NH₄⁺ concentrations during spring and summer coincided with a low total leaf N content (<3% dw). However, there was no clear relationship between these two variables. The total N content of the leaf tissue is therefore an inadequate parameter for prediction of the potential NH₃ emission from rye grass leaves. No annual trend was found for the apoplast pH. With a few exceptions, pH varied between 5.9 and 6.5 throughout the experimental period.The calculated values for χ_s varied between 0.5 and 4 μg m⁻³. The gaseous NH₃ concentrations inside the grass leaves were, with a few exceptions, always smaller than the measured ambient NH₃ concentrations. The present study indicates that under the current ambient NH₃ concentrations in the Netherlands, the grass canopy is unlikely to be a major source of NH₃ emission.     

A novel use of anaerobically digested liquid swine manure to potentially control soybean cyst nematode

Experiments were carried out in two steps to determine the effect of anaerobically digested swine manure on soybean cyst nematode (SCN) egg control. In the first step, liquid swine manure underwent anaerobic digestion to search for the best digestion time for both volatile fatty acids (VFA) and ammonium nitrogen (NH₄ ⁺) enrichment. The results showed that about 17 and 28 days of incubation were needed, respectively, to reach the maximal levels of VFA and NH₄ ⁺ in the manure. In the second step, raw, VFA-enriched, and NH₄ ⁺-enriched manure were applied separately, at four different rates (25, 50, 100, and 200 mL/pot), to soil pots inoculated with nematode eggs in a greenhouse environment. Soil samples were collected 35 and 61 days after inoculation to determine the effect of such treated manure on SCN egg productivity. The data indicated that the SCN egg counts were inversely related to the manure application rates in a linear manner with correlation coefficients of 0.998, 0.967, and 0.900 for raw, NH₄ ⁺-enriched, and VFA-enriched manure for the 35-day samples. While no such relationships were found for the 61-day samples, implying that none of the treatments were still effective 61 days after application. At the four application rates, the VFA-enriched manure performed best in reducing SCN egg counts (by 18.1, 19.5, 34.3, and 18.6%) as compared to the raw manure treatment. In contrast, the NH₄ ⁺-enriched manure achieved mostly negative reductions. To achieve the best control of SCN egg growth, the VFA-enriched manure should be used and applied to soybean fields every 35 days.

Ammonia concentrations and modeling of inorganic particulate matter in the vicinity of an egg production facility in Southeastern USA

Ammonia (NH₃) is an important base gas and can react with acidic species to form atmospheric aerosols. Due to the rapid growth of poultry and swine production in the North Carolina Coastal Plain, atmospheric NH₃ concentrations across the region have subsequently increased. Ammonia concentrations and inorganic particulate matter (PM) at four ambient stations in the vicinity of an egg production facility were measured for 1 year using PM_2.5 speciation samplers with honeycomb denuders and ion chromatography (IC). Meanwhile, concentrations of NH₃ and inorganic PM in one of the egg production houses were also simultaneously measured using a gas analyzer for NH₃ and the filter pack plus IC method for inorganic PM. An equilibrium model-ISORROPIA II was applied to predict the behavior of inorganic aerosols in response to precursor gas concentrations and environmental parameters. Average ambient NH₃ concentrations varied from 10.0 to 27.0 μg/m³, and they were negatively correlated with the distances from the ambient location to the nearest egg production house exhausts. Ambient NH₃ concentrations were higher in warm seasons than in cold seasons. Measured NH₃ concentrations agreed well with ISORROPIA II model predictions at all sampling stations. For the ambient stations, there was a good agreement in particle phase NH₄ ⁺ between the model simulation and observations. For the in-house station, the model simulation was applied to correct the overestimation of particle phase NH₄ ⁺ due to gas phase NH₃ breaking through the denuders. Changes in SO₄ ^2?, NO₃ ^?, and Cl^? yield proportional changes in inorganic PM mass. Due to the abundance of NH₃ gas in the vicinity area of the monitored farm, changes in NH₃ concentrations had a small effect on inorganic PM mass. Aerosol equilibrium modeling may be used to assess the influence of precursor gas concentrations on inorganic PM formation when the measurements for some species are unavailable.     

Source Identification and Trends in Concentrations of Gaseous and Fine Particulate Principal Species in Seoul,South Korea

Abstract

Ambient measurements were made using two sets of annular denuder system during the four seasons (April 2001 to February 2002) and were then compared with the results during the period of 1996–1997 to estimate the trends and seasonal variations in concentrations of gaseous and fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) principal species. Annual averages of gaseous HNO₃ and NH₃ increased by 11% and 6%, respectively, compared with those of the previous study, whereas HONO and SO₂ decreased by 11% and 136%, respectively. The PM_2.5 concentration decreased by ～17%, 35% for SO₄ ^2?, and 29% for NH₄ ⁺, whereas NO₃ ^? increased by 21%. Organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) were 12.8 and 5.98 μg/m^-3, accounting for ～26 and 12% of PM_2.5 concentration, respectively. The species studied accounted for 84% of PM_2.5 concentration, ranging from 76% in winter to 97% in summer.

Potential source contribution function (PSCF) analysis was used to identify possible source areas affecting air pollution levels at a receptor site in Seoul. High possible source areas in concentrations of PM_2.5, NO₃ ^?, SO₄ ^2?, NH₄ ⁺, and K⁺ were coastal cities of Liaoning province (possibly emissions from oil-fired boilers on ocean liners and fishing vessels and industrial emissions), inland areas of Heibei/Shandong provinces (the highest density areas of agricultural production and population) in China, and typical port cities (Mokpo, Yeosu, and Busan) of South Korea. In the PSCF map for OC, high possible source areas were also coastal cities of Liaoning province and inland areas of Heibei/Shandong provinces in China. In contrast, high possible source areas of EC were highlighted in the south of the Yellow Sea, indicating possible emissions from oil-fired boilers on large ships between South Korea and Southeast Asia. In summary, the PSCF results may suggest that air pollution levels in Seoul are affected considerably by long-range transport from external areas, such as the coastal zone in China and other cities in South Korea, as well as Seoul itself.     

Atmospheric concentrations of ammonia and ammonium at an agricultural site in the southeast United States

In this study, we present ∼1 yr (October 1998–September 1999) of 12-hour mean ammonia (NH₃), ammonium (NH₄⁺), hydrochloric acid (HCl), chloride (Cl⁻), nitrate (NO₃⁻), nitric acid (HNO₃), nitrous acid (HONO), sulfate (SO₄²⁻), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) concentrations measured at an agricultural site in North Carolina's Coastal Plain region. Mean gas concentrations were 0.46, 1.21, 0.54, 5.55, and 4.15 μg m⁻³ for HCl, HNO₃, HONO, NH₃, and SO₂, respectively. Mean aerosol concentrations were 1.44, 1.23, 0.08, and 3.37 μg m⁻³ for NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻, Cl⁻, and SO₄²⁻, respectively. Ammonia, NH₄⁺, HNO₃, and SO₄²⁻ exhibit higher concentrations during the summer, while higher SO₂ concentrations occur during winter. A meteorology-based multivariate regression model using temperature, wind speed, and wind direction explains 76% of the variation in 12-hour mean NH₃ concentrations (n=601). Ammonia concentration increases exponentially with temperature, which explains the majority of variation (54%) in 12-hour mean NH₃ concentrations. Dependence of NH₃ concentration on wind direction suggests a local source influence. Ammonia accounts for >70% of NH_x (NH_x=NH₃+NH₄⁺) during all seasons. Ammonium nitrate and sulfate aerosol formation does not appear to be NH₃ limited. Sulfate is primarily associated ammonium sulfate, rather than bisulfate, except during the winter when the ratio of NO₃⁻–NH₄⁺ is ∼0.66. The annual average NO₃⁻–NH₄⁺ ratio is ∼0.25.     

Identification of sources of pollutants in precipitation measured at the mid-Atlantic US coast using potential source contribution function (PSCF)

Potential source contribution function (PSCF) was employed to study the source receptor relationships for 14 chemical species (Mn, SO₄²⁻, Zn, Al, Fe, Cu, Cr, Ni, Cd, NO₃, NH₄⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺,and Pb) found in precipitation collected at Lewes, Delaware. This study identified areas of the Eastern United States as possible emission source areas that could have contributed to the 14 element concentrations observed at Lewes. The identified regions in the Eastern United States generally coincide well with known emission source areas. The likely emission sources for these chemical species include oil- and coal-fired power plants, incinerators, motor vehicles, and iron and steel mills.     

垃圾渗滤液处理工艺运行参数优化与技术比较

垃圾渗滤液是公认的一种成分复杂且难以处理的高浓度有机废水,笔者在北京市海淀区六里屯垃圾填埋场通过2007—2010年垃圾渗滤液处理的工程实践,以COD和氨氮的去除率为指标,研究了不同的垃圾渗滤液处理工艺组合,以及不同运行参数条件下对垃圾渗滤液的处理效果。结果表明,在中温UASB和A/O的平均水力停留时间(HRT)缩短1/3的情况下,通过改进A/O段曝气方式,优化系统的pH、DO等运行参数,用MBR替代絮凝工艺,使整个组合工艺对COD的年平均去除率达到了94.3%,氨氮的去除率维持在99.5%以上,出水氨氮稳定在10 mg/L以内,而改造前的COD与氨氮的年平均去除率仅为82.2%与55.3%。与改造前的UASB+A/O+絮凝工艺组合相比,改造后的UASB+A/O+MBR工艺组合具有更高的污染物去除能力、更好的抗缓冲性和稳定性。     

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification by Pseudomonas sp. Y-5 in a high nitrogen environment

Pseudomonas sp. Y-5, a strain with simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) capacity, was isolated from the Wuhan Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant. This strain could rapidly remove high concentrations of inorganic nitrogen. Specifically, Pseudomonas sp. Y-5 removed 103 mg/L of NH₄⁺-N in 24 h without nitrate or nitrite accumulation when NH₄⁺-N was its sole nitrogen source. The NH₄⁺-N removal efficiency (RE) was 97.26%, and the average removal rate (RR) was 4.30 mg/L/h. Strain Y-5 also removed NO₃^?-N and NO₂^?-N even in aerobic conditions, with average RRs of 4.39 and 4.23 mg/L/h, respectively, and REs of up to 99.34% and 95.81% within 24 h. When cultured in SND medium (SNDM-1), strain Y-5 achieved an NH₄⁺-N RE of up to 97.80% and a total nitrogen (TN) RE of 93.01%, whereas NO₃^?-N was fully depleted in 48 h. Interestingly, high nitrite concentrations did not inhibit the nitrification capacity of Y-5 when grown in SNDM-2, the RE of NH₄⁺-N and TN reached 96.29% and 94.26%, respectively, and nitrite was consumed completely. Strain Y-5 also adapted well to high concentrations of ammonia (~401.68 mg NH₄⁺-N/L) or organic nitrogen (~315.12 mg TN/L). Our results suggested that Pseudomonas sp. Y-5 achieved efficient simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, thus demonstrating its potential applicability in the treatment of nitrogen-polluted wastewater.

     

Measurements of nitric acid and ammonium salts in lower Bavaria

Nitric acid and ammonium-containing particulate species were measured by the annular denuder-filter pack technique at Manndorf, a rural site in South Germany, in July 1990. The analyses of filter packs indicated that nitrate was present as ammonium salt which mostly dissociated during sampling. Moreover, due to the NH⁺₄/NO⁻₃ ratios higher than unity found in back-up filters, NH₄Cl was assumed to represent an appreciable fraction of the total particulate ammonium. Finally, the molar ratios NH⁺₄/SO²⁻₄ found on front (Teflon) filters, suggested a large predominance of (NH₄)₂SO₄ among the different forms of sulphate. The concentration levels of gaseous HNO₃ observed in the daytime were characterised by a maximum after midday, whereas particulate nitrate showed five times out of eight days an opposite trend with early afternoon minima. The total nitrate (HNO₃+NH₄NO₃) showed in turn a diurnal pattern similar to that of sulphate. These findings led to the conclusion that a significant HNO₃ production pathway involved the thermal dissociation of NH₄NO₃ rather than the reaction of NO₂ with OH radical.     

Ambient suspended particulate matters and related chemical species study in central Taiwan,Taichung during 1998–2001

Ambient suspended particulate (PM_2.5, PM_2.5–10, TSP) was collected from June 1998 to February 2001 in Taichung, central Taiwan. In addition, the related water-soluble ionic species (Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻, Na⁺, NH₄⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺) and metallic species (Fe, Zn, Pb, Ni) were also analyzed in this study. The results showed that the concentrations of particulate mass are higher in the traffic site (CCRT) than the other sampling sites in this study. Also, the fine particle (PM_2.5) concentration is the dominant species of the total suspended particles in Taichung, central Taiwan. The dominant species for PM_2.5 are sulfate and ammonium at all sampling sites during the period of 1998–2001. The results of diurnal variation at THUC sampling site are also discussed in this study. Overall, acidic and secondary aerosol (Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻ and NH₄⁺) is a more serious air pollutant issue in southern and central Taiwan than at several sites around the world. Therefore, ambient suspended particulate monitoring in Taichung, central Taiwan will be continuing in our following study to provide more information for the government to formulate environmental strategy.     

The contribution of dry deposited ammonia and sulphur dioxide to the composition of precipitation from continuously open gauges

A series of experiments using bulk precipitation collectors of the type used in the UK precipitation chemistry network measured the amounts of NH₄⁺, SO₄²⁻ and other ions that could be washed from funnels (diameter 15 cm) exposed to a wide range of NH₃ and SO₂ concentrations over periods from hours to days. In dry conditions, the average deposition flux of NH₃ was between 50 and 120 nmol NH₄⁺ funnel⁻¹ d⁻¹ (0.1–0.3 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹), and was independent of the concentration of NH₃. Dry deposition of NH₃ to wet funnels at small NH₃ concentrations was almost 5 times that to dry funnels under the same conditions (average 240 nmol funnel⁻¹ d⁻¹; 0.7 kg ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹), and increased with increasing NH₃ concentrations. The amount of NH₄⁺ ions remaining on the funnel surface was inversely proportional to the vapour pressure deficit during the experiment. This result was interpreted as a dependence on the duration of surface wetness, with greater deposition of NH₄⁺ when evaporation rates of surface water were small.The amount of SO₂ deposited on funnel surfaces was closely related to the amount of NH₃ deposited, in both wet and dry conditions, but was not strongly correlated with the SO₂ concentration. At low NH₃ and SO₂ concentrations the average deposition to dry funnels was 70 nmol SO₄²⁻ funnel⁻¹ d⁻¹ (0.5 kg ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹), and to wet funnels was approximately 2.5 times larger. The results are interpreted in terms of the balance between the rate of evaporation of surface water, and the rate of oxidation of SO₂, which leads to the ‘fixing’ of NH₄⁺ ions on the surface as involatile salts.It is predicted that dry deposition of NH₃ to funnel surfaces across the UK Secondary Network could account for as much as one-half of the measured bulk wet deposition at sites where wet deposition of NH₄–N is small. The amount of dry deposition depends on how long and how often funnel surfaces are wetted by rain or dew, and on the air concentrations of NH₃. These predictions are based on funnels being wetted only once per day. More frequent wetting would increase the contribution from dry deposition, and the consequent overestimate of wet deposition of NH₄–N across the UK by using data obtained from bulk collectors. To some extent this overestimate may be offset by microbial degradation and loss of NH₄–N in weekly bulk precipitation samples during collection and storage.

Source apportionment of particulate matter at urban mixed site in Indonesia using PMF

A receptor model of positive matrix factorization (PMF) was used to identify the emission sources of fine and coarse particulates in Bandung, a city located at about 150 km south-east of Jakarta. Total of 367 samples were collected at urban mixed site, Tegalega area, in Bandung City during wet and dry season in the period of 2001–2007. The samples of fine and coarse particulate matter were collected simultaneously using dichotomous samplers and mini-volume samplers. The Samples from dichotomous Samplers were analyzed for black carbon and elements while samples from mini-volume samplers were analyzed for ions. The species analyzed in this study were Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Pb, Cl^?, NO₃^?, SO₄^2?, and NH₄⁺. The data were then analyzed using PMF to determine the source factors. Different numbers of source factors were found during dry and wet season. During dry season, the main source factors for fine particles were secondary aerosol (NH₄)₂SO₄, electroplating industry, vehicle emission, and biomass burning, while for coarse particles, the dominant source factors were electroplating industry, followed by aged sea salt, volcanic dust, soil dust, and lime dust. During the wet season, the main source factors for fine particulate matter were vehicle emission and secondary aerosol. Other sources detected were biomass burning, lime dust, soil and volcanic dust. While for coarse particulate matter, the main source factors were sulphate-rich industry, followed by lime dust, soil dust, industrial emission and construction dust.
