珠江三角洲大气光化学氧化剂(Ox)与PM2.5复合超标污染特征及气象影响因素

基于粤港澳珠江三角洲区域空气监测网络12个监测子站的大气污染物数据,梳理2013~2017年大气光化学氧化剂O_x（NO₂+O₃）与PM_2.5质量浓度的变化趋势.O_x+PM_2.5复合超标污染定义为NO₂和PM_2.5质量浓度日平均值以及O₃浓度日最大8 h平均值（O₃ MDA8）同时超过二级浓度限值,分析了不同类型站点复合超标污染的时空分布特征以及气象因素影响.结果表明,2013~2017年珠三角PM_2.5年均质量浓度由（44±7）μg·m^-3下降至（32±4）μg·m^-3,实现PM_2.5连续3 a达标.O_x年均质量浓度由2013年（127±14）μg·m^-3下降至2016年（114±12）μg·m^-3,2017年反弹至（129±13）μg·m^-3,O₃浓度上升明显（10 μg·m^-3）.以O₃为首要污染物的污染过程占比由2013年33%增多至2017年78%,多个城市同时发生污染的区域特征明显.研究时段内O_x+PM_2.5复合超标污染事件共发生60次,主要在城区站点（78%）和郊区站点（22%）.秋季发生复合超标污染天数最多（52%）,是因为强太阳辐射有利于臭氧生成,大气氧化性增加,进而促进了PM_2.5二次生成.造成珠三角复合超标污染的天气形势主要为高压出海型（43%）、高压控制型（30%）和热带低压型（27%）.就具体气象因素而言,气温在20~25℃且相对湿度在60%~75%的范围内时,复合超标污染事件发生占比最高（22%）.在O₃重污染过程中,夜间高湿和低风速使得NO₂和PM_2.5浓度显著上升,日间高温加剧了复合超标污染.     

2016~2019年江西省臭氧污染特征与气象因子影响分析

利用2016~2019年生态环境部环境监测总站提供的江西省11个设区市的监测数据及同期的国家气象观测站常规观测资料,研究江西省臭氧污染特征与气象因子的关系.结果表明,江西省近几年臭氧污染日益严重,2016年全省臭氧（日最大8 h滑动平均值）平均浓度为80.1 μg·m^-3,到2019年上升至98.2 μg·m^-3,平均年增长率为6 μg·m^-3.2019年江西省11个设区市O₃超标总天数为475 d,占总超标天数的72.6%.2016~2018年O₃月平均浓度具有典型的季节变化特征：夏季 > 春季 > 秋季 > 冬季,2019年秋季由于降水量显著减少、日照时数增多和气温升高等气象条件导致秋季近地面臭氧浓度异常升高,其平均浓度高于其它季节.臭氧浓度总体与气温、日照时数呈正相关,与相对湿度呈负相关,当气温高于30℃、相对湿度在20%~40%区间、风速在2~3 m·s^-1区间时易出现高浓度臭氧污染.江西省臭氧浓度呈现一定的空间分布特征：赣东北地区低于其他地区,南部城市高于北部城市.其中,赣州市臭氧污染较为严重,其2019年平均浓度居全省最高,为104.2 μg·m^-3.基于后向轨迹HYSPLIT模型和潜在源解析PSCF对赣州市进行分析,研究结果表明赣州市臭氧污染的主要潜在贡献源区存在一定的季节差异：春季臭氧污染的外来输送源主要来自广东中部和江西北部地区,夏季主要来自江西北部地区,而秋季则主要来自广东北部和安徽中部地区.     

郑州市臭氧污染变化特征、气象影响及输送源分析

基于环境空气质量和气象在线监测数据,研究了郑州市近地面臭氧（O₃）污染的年际变化、空间差异及气象影响,并分析了O₃传输路径和潜在源区.结果表明,2014~2018年郑州市近地面O₃污染超标时间跨度增加,城区站点O₃日最大8 h滑动平均值（MDA8）第90%分位呈显著上升趋势（P<0.05）,增长速率为15.50 μg·（m³·a）^-1;O₃月变化呈"M"型,峰值出现在夏季;日变化呈单峰型,峰值出现在15：00~16：00,农村站点O₃日峰值浓度（130.94 μg·m^-3）最高;气温（T）>23℃、相对湿度（RH）<65%和风速（WS）为2.0~4.0 m·s^-1及风向在东南和东北方向时城市站点易发生高浓度O₃污染.各影响因子和O₃浓度的多元线性回归分析表明,T和RH是城市和工业站点的主控因子,T和WS是城市交通和郊区站点的主控因子;不同季节后向轨迹聚类分析和O₃潜在来源差异明显,春夏季大气传输路径以正南及东北方向近距离慢移速的轨迹为主,秋冬季以西北方向远距离快移速的轨迹为主;夏季高O₃浓度主要受本地生成和河北、山东及安徽等地传输影响.     

2015—2021年广州地区近地面O3浓度污染特征及其与气象因素关系

利用2015—2021年广州地区近地面逐时臭氧（O₃）观测资料及同期地面气象站常规观测数据,分析了广州地区近地面O₃浓度污染特征及其与气象因素的关系.结果表明：2015—2021年广州地区O₃浓度呈缓慢上升趋势,增速为1.9 μg?m^-3?a^-1,2015和2019年O₃浓度超标天数 最多;O₃平均浓度季节变化明显：秋季＞冬季＞夏季＞春季;O₃浓度空间分布不均匀,城郊地区高于中心城区;峰值中心位于城郊地区白云区,低值中心位于中心城区荔湾区.O₃浓度高峰期是7—10月,9月浓度最高,3月浓度最低;四季O₃浓度日变化均呈“单峰型”结构,最低值出现在7：00—8：00,14：00—16：00达到峰值.近地面O₃平均浓度和O₃超标率均与气温呈正比,当气温＞15 ℃开始出现臭氧超标现象.相对湿度＜50%时,O₃超标率与相对湿度呈正比;相对湿度为40%~50%时,O₃超标率达峰值为16.3%.当风速＜2 m?s^-1时,O₃超标率与风速呈正比;当风速＞ 2 m?s^-1时,O₃超标率与风速呈反比.高温、低湿、风小是广州地区产生高浓度O₃的主要气象因子.     

2010—2016年上海城区臭氧长时间序列变化特征初探

基于2010—2016年上海城区近地面大气臭氧（O₃）的连续在线观测数据，研究了上海城区O₃长时间序列变化规律和污染特征.结果表明，近7年来上海城区O₃污染逐渐凸显，但总体以轻度污染为主，7—8月高温炎热季节以中度污染居多.城区O₃-8 h（臭氧日最大8 h滑动平均）年均增速为3.81 μg·m^-3·a^-1，99%和95%分位值增速较快，分别为6.65和4.94 μg·m^-3·a^-1；25%、50%和75%分位值的增速在3.06~4.45 μg·m^-3·a^-1之间.春季O₃浓度均值较高，年际变化小；夏季极值较高，且污染超标情况最为突出；秋季O₃浓度次于春、夏季，冬季最低；夏、秋和冬季O₃浓度总体呈上升态势.O₃日变化呈"单峰型"，最大值出现在13：00左右，且峰值逐年增加，污染持续时间变长，最小值出现在早晨7：00.城区O₃"周末效应"逐渐减弱.基于KZ过滤器方法的数据分析结果表明，上海城区O₃-8 h长期变化主要受O₃-BF（O₃-8 h的基准组分）影响；O₃-SF（O₃-8 h的天气影响组分）在5—9月对O₃-8 h影响较大，其范围为-98.85~139.60 μg·m^-3.     

夏季对流层臭氧辐射强迫对华北地区天气和空气质量的影响

自2013年我国实施《大气污染防治行动计划》以来,大气颗粒物浓度显著降低,但臭氧（O₃）污染日益严峻,同时对流层O₃作为一种重要的温室气体,其辐射强迫能够影响天气和空气质量.利用双向耦合的区域空气质量模型WRF-Chem,再现2017年6月发生在华北地区的一次O₃污染事件,通过敏感性试验分析对流层臭氧辐射强迫（TORF）对当地气象场的影响,以及改变的气象变量对O₃空气质量的反馈作用.结果表明,WRF-Chem模式在气象要素的模拟上表现出较好的性能,并且能够很好地捕捉到O₃浓度的时空演变特征.TORF使北京-天津-河北-山东地区的近地面气温平均升高0.23 K （最大增温可达0.8 K）、近地面相对湿度降低1.84%、边界层高度增加27.73 m.TORF对风速的影响较弱（-0.02 m ·s^-1）,但产生的西南风异常容易将上游污染地区的O₃和其前体物输送至华北地区.在臭氧辐射反馈的影响下,研究区域内φ（O₃）平均增加1.7%（1.23×10^-9）,而在污染严重的北京和天津地区,φ（O₃）增加量最高可达5×10^-9.进一步利用过程诊断分析法可以发现,增强的气相化学反应是TORF恶化近地面O₃污染的主导原因.     

2017年厦门金砖会晤期间人为减排和气象条件变化对臭氧污染特征的影响

针对厦门"金砖会晤"空气质量保障活动，本研究选取2017年8月10日—9月10日的O₃、NO₂和挥发性有机物（VOCs），以及气象因子等在线观测数据，开展人为减排、副热带高压、台风等对东南沿海城市大气O₃污染特征的影响研究.结果表明，研究期间厦门大气O₃-8 h平均浓度为（110.0±40.6）μg·m^-3.与管控前相比，无台风影响的管控I期的O₃-8 h浓度上升了19.9 μg·m^-3，而管控II期的O₃-8 h浓度下降了27.9 μg·m^-3.对于管控I期和II期，台风影响下O₃-8 h浓度较无台风时段分别下降85.2 μg·m^-3和8.9 μg·m^-3.在排放控制和台风的共同作用下，峰会期间厦门大气O₃浓度的日变化显现出"削峰填谷"的特征.另外，与管控I期相比，管控II期O₃前体物VOCs浓度显著下降，其臭氧生成潜势（OFP）下降了44.6%.总之，运用区域联防联控策略，对臭氧前体物（NO_x和VOCs）实施针对性减排，可有效地降低沿海城市大气O₃日间最高浓度.     

京津冀臭氧污染特征、气象影响及基于神经网络的预报效果评估

基于生态环境监测和气象观测数据,分析了2016~2020年京津冀13个城市臭氧（O₃）浓度特征,讨论了O₃污染高发月份日最高温度（T_max）、日均地面气压（p）、日均地面相对湿度（RH）和日均地面风速（v）等气象要素对O₃-8h浓度和O₃-8h超标情况的影响规律,并采用AQI级别预报准确率、O₃浓度范围预报准确率和O₃级别预报准确率等方法,评估了基于神经网络的O₃统计预报效果.结果表明,2016~2020年期间京津冀13城市ρ（O₃-8h-90per）分别为157.4、177.2、177.3、190.6和175.6μg·m^-3,区域臭氧浓度5a上升了11.6%,2016~2019年期间总体呈波动上升趋势,2020年环比下降;2020年与2016年相比,除北京、张家口和承德略有下降外,其他10个城市ρ（O₃-8h-90per）上升了6~45.5μg·m^-3.O₃-8h月均值呈现"两头低,中间高"现象,ρ（O₃-8h）在4~9月的月均值超过了100 μg·m^-3,在6月最高,为158.10 μg·m^-3.城市O₃-8h超标率范围为8.6%~19.2%,97.8%的O₃-8h超标情况发生在4~9月.区域尺度上O₃-8h浓度与日最高温度相关性最强,当T_max在25~28℃区间时,所有城市开始出现O₃-8h超标.O₃-8h浓度与日均地面气压呈负相关关系;当RH在60%以下时,大部分城市O₃-8h浓度随相对湿度上升缓慢增长;当RH在61%~70%以上时,大部分城市O₃-8h浓度随日均相对湿度上升而下降.O₃-8h超标时的地面主导风向主要为偏南风,大部城市O₃-8h浓度高值易集中出现在2~3m·s^-1及以下低风速区间.OPAQ统计模式提前1~9 d预报相关系数范围为0.72~0.86,AQI级别预报平均准确率为67%~86%,O₃-8h浓度范围预报平均准确率为63%~84%.在O₃-8h超标情况多发的4~9月,模式对O₃轻度污染和O₃-8h超标情况提前3 d预报准确率分别为69%和66%,可为O₃-8h超标管控提供参考依据.     

成都平原城市群春季臭氧污染天气客观分型与典型过程分析

通过分析成都平原城市群8个城市2015—2019年春季（4—5月）地面臭氧浓度及超标情况表明,春季成都平原平均臭氧日最大8小时平均浓度（O₃_8 h）呈上升趋势,成都、眉山O₃超标日较多,雅安最少但呈逐年增加趋势,资阳、乐山O₃_8 h平均值和O₃超标率高于夏季.同时,利用ERA-Interim再分析资料和PCT客观天气分型方法,对近5年春季成都平原及周边海平面气压场、700 hPa和500 hPa的位势高度场进行客观分型研究以揭示重污染期间高低空天气型配置,并分析天气系统及气象要素与臭氧污染的关系.结果表明：①成都平原春季容易发生O₃污染的地面天气形势为低压场和均压场,气象特征表现为高温低湿、强辐射、小风、混合层较高、有弱的辐合运动,该天气型下成都市平均O₃_8 h达140 μg·m^-3.②700 hPa臭氧污染天气形势为南支槽和高原低涡型,500 hPa为南支槽和平直纬向型.高空为南支槽的环流形势下,地面均压和低压场的占比超过六成.污染较重的月或年份,地面、700 hPa和500 hPa污染天气型占比均较高.③对近5年春季成都平原持续O₃污染过程分析发现,污染前期,成都平原处于地面高压后部或均压场中,随着700 hPa低值系统东移,其前部暖平流和正涡度平流的输送,促使平原地区整层大气增温及地面天气型由均压场向低压场转变.④污染过程中,500 hPa高空气流受高原-盆地地形的作用发生下沉,与地面低压场的辐合上升运动促进了低层局地环流的形成,这一方面限制了污染物向高层的扩散,另一方面造成边界层内O₃的下传,加重成都平原O₃污染的程度.     

南京夏季大气臭氧光化学特征与敏感性分析

对流层臭氧（O₃）主要由氮氧化物（NO_x）和挥发性有机物（VOCs）经过一系列光化学反应生成,反应过程呈现复杂的非线性关系.为深入了解O₃的光化学特征及生成机制,利用2018年夏季大气O₃与VOCs的观测数据,结合大气零维框架模拟模型F0AM-MCM,研究O₃超标日和非O₃超标日的O₃光化学特征之间的差异性.观测结果表明,O₃超标日期间φ（O₃）和φ（TVOCs）的平均值分别为47.8×10^-9和49.0×10^-9,为非O₃超标日期间O₃（26×10^-9）和TVOCs（30×10^-9）体积分数的1.8倍和1.6倍.使用F0AM模型,借助EKMA曲线和RIR分析等识别O₃敏感性,发现南京市O₃超标日和非O₃超标日O₃的形成均主要受VOCs和NO_x的协同控制.F0AM-MCM模拟结果表明,在O₃超标日,·OH和HO₂的日平均混合比分别是非O₃超标日的1.3倍和1.8倍,表明O₃超标日期间具有更强的大气氧化能力,且·OH和HO₂的形成和损失速率也有明显的增加,表明自由基循环的增强.此外,O₃超标日的O₃生成速率明显高于非O₃超标日,从而导致了O₃超标日的O₃净生成速率明显高于非O₃超标日.以上发现提高了对南京夏季O₃超标日大气O₃光化学特征的认识.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.     

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.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

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.     

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.
