新疆天山夏季气象条件对气溶胶粒径分布的影响

使用宽范围粒径谱仪对天山白杨沟风景区2019年8月5-25日10 nm~10 μm气溶胶数浓度粒径分布进行观测,结合气象要素数据,分析了天山地区夏季气象条件对气溶胶粒径分布特征的影响.结果表明,夏季天山地区10 nm~10 μm气溶胶数浓度、表面积浓度和体积浓度平均为3539.2 cm^-3、116.5 μm²·cm^-3和17.6 μm³·cm^-3.不同降水过程对气溶胶数浓度的影响不同.不同降水过程中气溶胶数浓度谱均为单峰型分布,持续时间长的小雨和毛毛雨对气溶胶数浓度谱谱形的影响较小,而降雨量较强的短时降水过程往往会使得气溶胶粒径谱峰值往大粒径段偏移.降雨过程气溶胶表面积浓度谱和体积浓度谱为多峰型分布,表面积浓度主要集中在30~500 nm的细粒子段,体积浓度主要集中在1~10 μm的粗粒子段.相对湿度（RH）对核模态气溶胶数浓度和积聚模态气溶胶数浓度的影响较大,对爱根核模态气溶胶数浓度的影响较小.不同相对湿度条件下气溶胶数浓度谱均为单峰型分布.随着相对湿度的增加,气溶胶数浓度谱的峰宽呈现先增加后减小的趋势,这种变化趋势在<40 nm时更加显著.气溶胶数浓度、表面积浓度和体积浓度随风速风向的分布与能见度随风速风向的分布呈现相反的趋势.     

天津市冬季气溶胶吸湿因子的粒径分布特征

气溶胶粒径吸湿增长因子［g（RH）］是影响气溶胶消光和气溶胶辐射强迫的重要因素.利用吸湿性串联差分电迁移率分析仪（HTDMA）观测了天津市冬季不同污染状态下气溶胶粒子g_m（RH）的粒径分布.同时基于水溶性离子的粒径分布,利用κ-Köhler理论获取了较宽粒径范围内（60 nm~9.8 μm）的g_κ（RH）,为环境状态下气溶胶光学参数和直接辐射强迫的模拟提供基础.结果表明,清洁状态下大气光化学反应较为活跃,超细粒子（<100 nm）的g_m（RH）较高,g_m（RH=80%）在1.30以上.重度污染天,气溶胶中水溶性离子的质量分数随粒子粒径增大而增加,导致g_m（RH）随着粒子粒径增大而增大,300 nm粒子的g_m（RH=80%）和g_m（RH=85%）分别可达1.39和1.46.在较宽粒径范围（60 nm~9.8 μm）内,不同模态气溶胶的吸湿性强弱表现为积聚模态>爱根模态>粗模态.大气重污染过程中气溶胶粒径明显增大,积聚模态气溶胶中NO₃^-和SO₄^2-含量较清洁天明显增加,受此影响,污染状态下积聚模态气溶胶的吸湿性较清洁天明显增强,g_κ（RH）达到1.3~1.4,具有强吸湿性的气溶胶粒径范围也同时扩大,在0.18~3.1 μm粒径段均较高,对能见度恶化有重要的贡献.     

2014年APEC期间北京市空气颗粒物粒谱分布特征研究

为了研究APEC减排期间不同模态颗粒物数浓度分布特征,使用扫描电迁移率粒径分析仪（Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer,3936,TSI,4~737 nm）和空气动力学粒径谱仪（Aerodynamic Particle Sizer,3321,TSI,0.54~19.81 μm）对2014年APEC会议期间北京市空气颗粒物进行观测.根据核模态、爱根核模态、积聚模态和粗粒子模态颗粒物的数浓度变化和粒谱分布特征.结果表明：APEC会议期间（减排第2阶段,11月6日-12日）空气颗粒物主要以爱根核模态和积聚模态颗粒物为主,其数浓度分别为9.96×10³ cm^-3和9.19×10³ cm^-3,其次是核模态颗粒物,其数浓度为1.16×10³ cm^-3,粗粒子模态颗粒物数浓度相对较低,为13 cm^-3,其中11月2、6和12日颗粒物总数浓度均出现最低谷值,分别为1.1×10⁴ cm^-3、1.0×10⁴ cm^-3和6.3×10³ cm^-3.相比减排前,减排期核模态颗粒物浓度降低最多,平均降低39.1%,爱根核模态和积聚模态缓慢降低,但与往年同期相比各模态颗粒物数浓度均有明显下降.

利用宽范围粒径谱仪于2019年8月16至10月4日在鄂尔多斯市观测了10 nm~10 μm气溶胶粒径分布,结合PM（PM_2.5和PM₁₀）、污染气体、气象数据和HYSPLIT模式,分析了新粒子生成（NPF）特征及其主要影响因素.结果表明,观测期间一共出现19次NPF过程,占总观测期间的37.5%.NPF过程中对不同模态气溶胶数浓度日变化的影响不同.NPF使得核模态和爱根核模态气溶胶数浓度急剧增加,但是对积聚模态和粗模态气溶胶数浓度的影响较小.NPF发生时往往温度较高,风速较大,总辐照度较高,RH较低.NPF天PM_2.5、PM₁₀、CO和NO₂的浓度较低,O₃和SO₂浓度较高.40.0%的偏北气团和29.6%的偏南气团可观测到NPF过程.不同气团类型NPF过程中气象要素存在显著差异.南部气团类型NPF过程中风速最小,平均为（2.4±1.5）m·s^-1;RH最高,平均为（48.8±10.8）%;北部气团类型NPF过程中风速最大,平均为（4.2±1.9）m·s^-1;总辐照度最高,平均为（664.5±255.6）W·m^-2;西部气团类型NPF过程中RH最低,平均为（29.8±12.7）%.不同气团类型NPF过程中新粒子的生成速率相差不大,为1.5~1.8cm^-3·s^-1.南部气团类型NPF过程中增长速率最大,为（12.7±13.6）nm·h^-1,是北部气团类型和西部气团类型的1.2倍和1.4倍.     

黑碳气溶胶发生器的设计与性能测试

为获得一定尺寸、浓度、流量范围的稳定的黑碳气溶胶用于实验研究,设计了一种基于倒置式共流扩散火焰燃烧的黑碳气溶胶发生器;与文献已有设计相比,本设计改进了流量控制、点火操作,并采用催化氧化器去除有机物.本研究设计的发生器产生的颗粒物总数浓度在3 h内的偏差为8.33%,峰值粒径的浓度偏差小于10%,能够产生稳定的黑碳气溶胶,且产生的黑碳气溶胶粒径主要集中在30~300 nm;当燃烧当量比φ由0.60上升至0.90时,黑碳气溶胶数浓度由1.31×10⁷#·cm^-3增大到8.16×10⁷#·cm^-3,峰值粒径从109.4 nm增大到145.9 nm;黑碳气溶胶尺寸、浓度有较大的变动范围.采用催化氧化器能够有效去除不同黑碳气溶胶浓度范围内的有机物质,获得有机物含量低于3%的黑碳气溶胶,且催化氧化器能在6 L·min^-1流量范围下工作.产生的黑碳气溶胶以链状结构的聚合体为主,分形维数为2.01,该聚合体主要由球型小单体聚集组成,黑碳气溶胶的吸收波长指数为1.04.     

珠江三角洲新垦大气核化速率研究

计算了珠江三角洲新垦地区的大气核化速率,对核化机制及核化速率计算的影响因素进行了分析. 基于PRIDE-PRD2004观测实验期间新垦站点的气溶胶数浓度谱分布观测数据,计算出3 nm粒子的表观形成速率. 根据表观形成速率与核化速率之间的关系式,分析了1 nm粒径临界核的大气核化速率. 结果表明,新粒子事件期间3 nm粒子的表观形成速率为7.2～9.4 cm^-3·s^-1,1 nm临界核的大气核化速率为7.65×10²～1.14×10⁵ cm^-3,与前体物硫酸蒸气浓度比较一致,气态硫酸应是主要的核化前体物. 新垦地区背景气溶胶中积聚模态对碰并汇贡献较大,事件期间气溶胶数浓度变化对核化速率计算结果影响不大. 本研究获取了新垦核化速率信息,有助于进一步了解核化机制. 由于成核临界粒径的不确定性对核化速率计算结果影响很大,确定成核临界粒径对核化速率计算十分重要.     

天津市冬季道路颗粒物粒径分布及来源解析

使用便携式气溶胶粒径谱仪对天津市南开区道路环境颗粒物数浓度进行观测,观测时间为2018年11月9日至2019年1月6日早高峰时段（07：30~09：20）;结合温度和相对湿度,探究冬季道路环境颗粒物的粒径分布特征及来源.结果表明,天津市冬季道路环境颗粒物总数浓度平均值为502 cm^-3,主要集中在0.25~0.50 μm粒径段,呈现单峰分布,峰值在0.28~0.30 μm粒径段.不同时间尺度下颗粒物数浓度谱分布趋势相同,但相同粒径段数浓度存在差异.机动车活动水平是不同工作日道路颗粒物数浓度主要影响因素,合理的机动车尾号组合有利于降低道路颗粒物总数浓度高值出现的概率.颗粒物数浓度与温度和相对湿度呈现正相关关系,颗粒物总数浓度和峰值粒径数浓度随着温度和相对湿度的升高整体呈上升趋势.高相对湿度条件下,由于吸湿增长,数浓度峰值粒径会有所增大.使用正定矩阵因子分解模型（PMF）对道路环境颗粒物数浓度进行来源解析,得到道路尘、刹车与轮胎磨损和机动车尾气管排放老化这3个主要来源.道路尘来源对颗粒物数浓度的贡献率为8.6%,主要分布在5.00 μm以上粒径段;刹车与轮胎磨损来源对颗粒物数浓度的贡献率为2.8%,粒径集中在0.80~4.00 μm;机动车尾气管排放老化来源对颗粒物数浓度的贡献率为88.5%,贡献率占比最大,粒径集中在0.25~0.65 μm.道路旁颗粒物主要与机动车活动有关,同时温湿度也会对颗粒物数浓度粒径分布产生影响.     

COVID-19疫情期间北京市两次重霾污染过程大气污染物演变特征及潜在源区分析

新冠肺炎疫情（COVID-19）期间,执行了严格居家隔离措施,人为排放源急剧降低,但北京仍出现了两次持续重霾污染过程.本研究使用北京市大气污染物、气溶胶数浓度和气象要素数据,结合气团轨迹模式（HYSPLIT）,计算了潜在源贡献因子（PSCF）和浓度权重轨迹（CWT）,分析了两次重霾污染过程中大气污染物的演变特征及其潜在源区贡献.结果表明,COVID-19期间居家隔离措施对PM_2.5和黑碳（BC）的日变化特征影响较大,对CO、NO₂、SO₂和O₃的日变化影响较小.两次重霾污染过程首要污染物均是PM_2.5,污染过程1主要是以局地污染为主,污染过程2以局地污染和外来输送为主.不同过程下气溶胶数浓度谱分布均为单峰型分布,峰值位于0.3 μm,在污染过程中主要是0.2~0.5 μm粒径气溶胶数浓度增加,是干净日的3.3~13.6倍.不同过程中BC_liquid对BC的贡献为64.8%~85.1%.BC_liquid的浓度为：污染过程2（5.04 μg ·m^-3）>污染过程1（3.20 μg ·m^-3）>干净日（疫情前,2.31 μg ·m^-3）>干净日（疫情,0.76 μg ·m^-3）.不同过程中PM_2.5和BC的PSCF和CWT分布特征不同.PM_2.5的PSCF高值区在干净日（疫情前）和干净日（疫情）主要分布在北京的西南方和西部,权重浓度超过30 μg ·m^-3;在污染过程1和污染过程2主要分布在北京及其周边地区和西南部,权重浓度均超过90 μg ·m^-3.BC的PSCF高值区在干净日（疫情前）、干净日（疫情）和污染过程1主要分布在北京及其周边地区,权重浓度分别超过2.4、0.9和4.5 μg ·m^-3;在污染过程2中分布在北京西南部,权重浓度超过5μg ·m^-3.     

A2O工艺污水处理厂微生物气溶胶逸散特征及暴露风险评价

监测了北京市某A²O工艺污水处理厂不同工艺段逸散出的微生物气溶胶的浓度和粒径分布情况,统计了各工艺段所有采集样本污染程度和可吸入颗粒占比,分析了影响各工艺段微生物气溶胶浓度和可吸入颗粒数变化的因素.同时,计算了各工艺段暴露风险值,判断微生物气溶胶对不同人群的危害性.结果表明,各工艺段微生物气溶胶均有不同程度的释放,浓度变化范围在107~37139 CFU·m^-3之间,其中,生物池释放浓度最低,为107~624 CFU·m^-3,一直处于清洁等级;板框脱水间释放浓度最高,为3329~37139 CFU·m^-3,粉尘颗粒较多是造成板框脱水间微生物气溶胶浓度极高的重要原因.各工艺段可吸入颗粒（<4.7 μm）占比为42.30%~93.36%,其中,污泥处理单元吸入风险较高,可吸入颗粒占比为83.52%~93.36%.板框脱水间细菌气溶胶对人体存在非致癌风险（HQ>1）,需引起重视.

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

A field study was conducted in the Taihu Lake region, China in 2004 to reveal the organochlorine pesticide concentrations in soils after the ban of these substances in the year 1983. Thirteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in soils from paddy field, tree land and fallow land. Total organochlorine pesticide residues were higher in agricultural soils than in uncultivated fallow land soils. Among all the pesticides, ΣDDX (DDD, DDE and DDT) had the highest concentration for all the soil samples, ranging from 3.10 ng/g to 166.55 ng/g with a mean value of 57.04 ng/g and followed by ΣHCH, ranging from 0.73 ng/g to 60.97 ng/g with a mean value of 24.06 ng/g. Dieldrin, endrin, HCB and α-endosulfan were also found in soils with less than 15 ng/g. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT in soils under three land usages were: paddy field ＞ tree land ＞ fallow land, indicating that land usage inlfuenced the degradation of DDT in soils. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT ＞1, showing aged residues of DDTs in soils of the Taihu Lake region. The results were discussed with data from a former study that showed very low actual concentrations of HCH and DDT in soils in the Taihu Lake region, but according to the chemical half-lives and their concentrations in soils in 1980s, the concentration of DDT in soils seemed to be underestimated. In any case our data show that the ban on the use of HCH and DDT resulted in a tremendous reduction of these pesticide residues in soils, but there are still high amounts of pesticide residues in soils, which need more remediation processes.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.
