美国工业点源水污染物排放标准体系及启示

分析了美国工业点源污染物排放限值的制定框架,包括排放限值导则的内容及目标、污染源类别与技术标准类型以及标准实施载体———排污许可证中基于技术和基于水质排放限值的制定流程。根据美国经验,发现中国点源排放标准的目标没有与地表水质达标直接联接,应当区分基于技术和基于水质的排放限值;排放标准的针对性和操作性差,科学依据不足,需要制定水污染物排放标准制定导则;排放标准的实施手段分散且缺乏力度,需要明确排污许可证作为排放标准的实施手段。     

河南省在用柴油车加载减速烟度排放限值研究

随着车辆技术进步和燃油品质提升,河南省在用柴油车加载减速污染物现行排放限值已不能对高排放车辆进行有效监控。依据《确定压燃式发动机在用汽车加载减速法排气烟度排放限值的原则和方法》(HJ/T 241—2005),采用相对光吸收系数与累积频率法,对9 458份在用柴油车检测数据进行统计分析,提出符合河南省的在用柴油车排放限值。建议河南省在用国三、国四、国五轻型柴油车尾气光吸收系数限值分别为0.98、0.89、0.76m~(-1),而相应重型柴油车尾气光吸收系数限值分别为0.66、0.62、0.48m~(-1);依据该限值,河南省在用柴油车的年检合格率控制在82.6%,高排放柴油车比例为17.4%,符合HJ/T 241—2005的要求。     

农药工业废水中特征污染物排放限值制订研究

中国农药工业废水中特征污染物一直未开展监测监控,导致相关数据匮乏。针对农药工业废水中特征污染物对生态环境的高毒性和对作用对象的高敏感性,首先基于非敏感水生生物保护的目的推导农药工业废水特征污染物的水质基准,然后综合多种因素最终制定特征污染物排放限值。该方法确立的45种特征污染物排放限值,与美国、印度和世界银行组织制定的排放限值基本处于同一数量级,并且具有目标可达性和管理可行性,可为其他行业特征污染物排放限值的制订提供方法借鉴。     

水泥厂氨排放标准存在的问题及氨排放控制

为控制水泥脱硝工程产生的氨排放问题,中国发布《水泥工业大气污染物排放标准》(GB 4915—2013)对水泥企业氨排放限值提出明确要求。但水泥脱硝设施同步配套的氨在线检测仪记录数据表明,多数水泥厂脱硝后的氨排放浓度远超过标准限值。为此,对照火电厂相关标准和技术规范,指出了水泥工业氨排放标准和技术规范文件中存在的问题。结合实际检测数据和国外相关文献,确认水泥工业存在"本底氨"排放,水泥原料、协同处理废弃物、生产工况变化是导致本底氨排放的主要原因。选择性非催化还原(SNCR)脱硝设施产生的氨逃逸将增加氨排放浓度,反应温度窗口、停留时间、氨/氮摩尔比(NSR)、喷射方案等均会影响氨逃逸浓度。优化水泥生产工艺、SNCR脱硝工艺或配套选择性催化还原(SCR)脱硝系统等方式可有效控制水泥厂本底氨及氨逃逸。

国际PM2.5排放标准及其实施情况比较分析

对主要国际组织和部分国家的PM2.5排放标准及其实施情况进行了比较和分析.结果表明,世界卫生组织(WHO)和欧盟、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、日本等均已制定了PM2.5排放标准；墨西哥和印度等发展中国家制定了PM2.5排放标准,中国也制定了PM2.5排放标准,但还未正式发布.WHO除制定了PM2.5的日均浓度限值和年均浓度限值外,还设立3个过渡时期目标值.发达国家制定的PM2.5日均浓度限值比较一致(在25～35 /μg/m3),低于发展中国家(墨西哥和印度)制定的限值标准.发达国家中澳大利亚制定的PM2.5排放标准最为严格,而日本制定的PM2.5排放标准在亚洲最为严格.WHO、欧盟、美国、加拿大和印度还规定了PM2.5的达标判断要求,各要求有所差异,而中国还未规定PM2.5达标的判断要求.美国制定了PM2.5排放标准的详细实施计划,中国拟发布的PM2.5排放标准也将分期实行.     

固体声在建筑物内的衰减、反射和透射

固体声波在建筑物内传播会产生衰减、反射和透射。文中对居民楼内的固体传声进行了理论分析,认为建筑物内固体声传播过程中存在扩散衰减、结构突变衰减和阻尼损失衰减。同时,固体声波在墙体或楼板内反射使声能密度大大增加;固体声在传播过程中会向空气中透射,使得居民室内产生结构噪声污染。文中对某小区变压器房结构噪声进行理论分析和计算,预测了变压器房上方室内的结构噪声级,计算结果表明,当设备基础上振动级达到90 dB时,二楼居民室内的结构噪声级可达到41.3 dB,这对人们的正常生活会产生十分不利的影响。计算值与实际测量值较为吻合,说明理论分析和预测计算基本是可信的。     

基于大数据的中国在用车排放状况研究

以中国28个城市1 000多万条在用车环保定期检验数据为基础,统计分析了不同在用车检测方法的合格率、排放值累积分布及不同品牌车型在用车的合格率。结果表明:(1)中国在用车各检测方法加权平均合格率为89.5%,检测方法及排放限值缺乏适应性,应对各检测方法及排放限值做进一步调整,从而有效提高筛查效率;(2)中国合资与自主品牌在用车合格率存在明显差距;合资品牌间合格率水平差距明显,自主品牌整体水平相当;自主品牌合格率随行驶里程变化明显。为进一步加强在用车排放管理,提高在用车排放控制水平,未来应加快在用车排放标准修订,推广应用简易工况法,加强环保检验信息平台建设及数据统计应用。     

污染场地异位热脱附工程大气污染物排放标准研究

污染物排放标准是环境治理的基本手段和环境监管的基本依据。鉴于国内针对污染场地异位热脱附工程的大气污染物排放标准体系尚不明确,结合工程案例,对不同地区异位热脱附工程运行过程中大气污染物排放的执行标准进行梳理。结果表明,目前异位热脱附工程大气污染物排放缺乏行业执行标准,主要依托综合型、通用型和行业型国家、地方标准进行管理,存在标准年限跨度大、特征污染物指标体现不够、热脱附过程中二次污染物监控不全、指标限值宽严有异等问题。最后,结合国内节能减排的新形势,提出制定统一排放标准、固定周期更新标准内容、增加行业特征污染物管控指标、强化热解过程二次污染物识别与监测、适当收严污染物排放限值、强化污染物总量控制等建议加强异位热脱附工程的大气污染物排放管理。     

欧盟正在制订新的机动车排放标准

Effects of Variable Vehicular Age and Classification Distributions in Mobile Source Modeling

Jackson Hole Airport is the only air carrier airport located entirely in a National Park, that being Grand Teton. Concerns over noise impacts led to an Airport/Park agreement setting allowable levels, restricting flights and flight paths, and calling for compliance monitoring in the noise sensitive areas. This study documented seven days of continuous noise level measurements made at four sites in the Park during four consecutive seasons in 1985-86. Individual sound exposure level measurements at B-737/200 jets, Swearingen Metro turboprops, and general aviation aircraft permitted computation of “aircraft-only” day/night levels (DNL) at each site for each day. Measurement of half-hourly average sound levels permitted computation of “total” DNL for comparisons. Results showed general compliance with the DNL limits, except when winds necessitated northerly departures, in which case a single B- 737 could cause an exceedance. There were no statistically significant differences in mean aircraft DNL for each site over the seasons, largely because of high variances. At the more remote sites, the total DNL was generally not established by airport activity, but by the 10-dB nighttime DNL penalty added to background levels generated by wind or water. The newer B- 737/300 aircraft, introduced to Jackson in the winter of 1986, were observed to be noticeably quieter on departure.     

Noise Control Legislation

The national Environmental Protection Agency is expected to issue its recommendations on noise legislation some time during the latter part of 1973. This agency will assume primary responsibility for enforcing noise limits on new products, such as vehicles, construction equipment, electrical equipment, etc. Primary responsibility for community noise control will remain with local governments. Local EPA’s, now involved in air and water pollution, will be given the additional responsibility to enforce anti-noise legislation.This legislation will cover noise emissions fromvehicles, industries, construction equipment, residential air conditioners, and power equipment, and the noises that pervade multifamily dwellings. Responsibility for controlling aircraft noise will be shared with the FAA.

The noise ratings used in this legislation must be capable of easy measurement and yet correlate well with subjective response. For most noises the decibel level read on the A-scale of a sound level meter (dBA) is adequate. For aircraft noise a more complex rating scale must be used which includes consideration of the duration of the noise and the presence of a pure tone (engine whine). For still other noises (industries, construction) some consideration must be given to the total daily exposure time of the noise, along with its dBA rating.

New community noise ordinances will draw on the research and experience associated with the present Chicago, III., ordinance. Some modifications of this ordinance are expected, however, to improve enforcement procedures and to lower vehicle noise levels, which are considered the worst of all the community noise pollutants.     

Association between long-term occupational noise exposure and obesity

Noise exposure has been linked to several health outcomes including obesity. This cross-sectional study examined the association between occupational noise exposure and body mass index as a measure of general obesity in 913 textile workers (totally from nine factories) in Yazd city, Iran, from winter to summer of 2018. The sound pressure level (dBA) at each working station was measured by a calibrated sound level meter. The long-term noise exposure score of each worker (as dBA.year) was calculated by multiplying the working history in each unit to its corresponding noise level. Models were adjusted for personal, behavioral, environmental, and family history factors. In total, 81.05% (n?=?740) of the participants were exposed to noise levels higher than 85 dBA. The direct association was found for the fully adjusted model (β?=?0.002; 95% CI: 0.001: 0.004). For the model with past year noise exposure, a 10.6% increase in odds was observed for each 5 dBA increase in noise exposure (95% CI: 1.005: 1.216). We found a 0.1% increase in the odds of being overweight in mixed-gender analysis (95% CI: 1.001:1.002) for each 5 dBA.year in the fully adjusted model. Occupational noise exposure should be regarded as a risk factor for cardiometabolic outcomes in industrial workers.

     

Spatio-temporal covariation of urban particle number concentration and ambient noise

Mobile measurements of ambient noise and particle number concentrations were carried out within an urban residential area in Essen, Germany, during summer 2008. A busy major road with a traffic intensity of about 44,000 vehicles per day was situated within the study area. The spatio-temporal distribution of noise and particles was closely coupled to road traffic on the major road. Total particle number concentrations in proximity to the main road were on average between 25,000 cm^?3 and 35,000 cm^?3 while sound levels reached 70–78 dB(A). These estimates were more than double-fold (factor 2.4) in comparison to the urban residential background. At a 50 m distance off the road particle number concentrations were decaying to about 50% of the initial value. The measurements were characterised by close spatial correlation between total particle number concentration and ambient noise with correlation coefficients of up to r = 0.74. However, during one measurement day coupling between both quantities was weak due to higher turbulent mixing within the canopy layer and a change in ambient wind directions. Enhanced dilution of particle emission from road traffic by turbulent mixing and ‘decoupling’ from the influence of road traffic are believed to be responsible.
