大气中氟化物污染的生物学指标监测评价

植物对HF气体的敏感性是由多种因素相互作用而成的复杂综合性状,常用于定性描述大气环境质量状况。通过在密闭的培养瓶中一次性通入不同体积浓度的HF气体,以不同浓度HF胁迫下的不同类型植物为例,观察其在不同时间的外观伤害症状和细胞膜透性与HF浓度的关系。结果表明：不同植物对HF的敏感性不同;低浓度长时间和高浓度短时间的症状基本相同;植物细胞膜透性数据即电导率直接反映植物受损程度。综合植物外观症状指标与生理生化指标并赋予不同权重值,建立相对定量化的大气质量生物学指标评价模式,以定量的判断HF气体对植物的伤害,为应用植物监测和评价大气环境质量提供理论和实践依据。     

二氧化硫对绿化树种生理指标的影响

利用城市绿化植物对大气污染物的吸附、吸收、转移等净化能力来治理大气污染,尤其是近地表大气的混合污染,是近年来国际上正在加强研究和迅速发展的前沿课题.目前,有关大气污染对绿化植物的影响和作用机理尚缺乏深入系统的研究.一些研究者借助模拟实验来探讨大气污染对植物的伤害,大多侧重于植物可见受害症状的描述和程度的等级划分,有些研究也涉及叶片叶绿素含量、细胞膜透性等生理指标的测定.

以黄花夹竹桃（Thevetia peruviana（Pers.）k.Schum.）和芒果（Mangifera indica L.）苗木为材料,研究4种臭氧（O3）体积分数[环境大气NF,φ（O3）=10×10-9~20×10-9;低体积分数处理E50,φ（O3）=50×10-9;中体积分数处理E100,φ（O3）=100×10-9;高体积分数处理E200,φ（O3）=200×10-9]下两种植物叶片膜脂过氧化程度、可溶性蛋白质质量分数、可溶性糖质量分数和保护酶活性的变化情况,旨在揭示地表臭氧体积分数升高条件下2种植物生理代谢活动变化机理及响应规律。结果表明：随臭氧体积分数的增加,2种植物丙二醛含量和膜透性均逐渐上升,且与臭氧体积分数呈显著正相关关系,说明两种植物膜脂过氧化程度加剧;低体积分数O3处理时两种植物可溶性蛋白质量分数均逐渐下降,高φ（O3）处理后小幅回升;黄花夹竹桃可溶性糖质量分数逐渐下降,芒果先上升后下降;2种植物的POD活性均显著上升,但上升幅度有较大差异;2种植物的CAT活性均呈先升高再降低的趋势。研究表明,不同体积分数的臭氧暴露下,黄花夹竹桃和芒果均受到不同程度的伤害,芒果对臭氧表现出较强的抗性,黄花夹竹桃对臭氧较敏感。     

臭氧污染胁迫对农作物生长与产量的影响

臭氧对南方3种木本植物的急性伤害症状及其生理指标变化

近地层O3污染越来越严重,而O3污染对中国木本植物的影响的报道较少。作者对南方3种木本植物尾叶桉(Eucalyptusurophylla)、米兰(Aglaiaodorata)和马尾松(Pinusmassoniana)进行连续3d,每天6h的O3熏气处理。臭氧体积分数分别为200×10-9和400×10-9。实验过程中对植物的外部受害症状进行观察记录,测定叶片的叶绿素含量、过氧化物酶活性(POD)、过氧化氢酶活性(CAT)、丙二醛含量(MDA)、可溶性糖含量和可溶性蛋白质含量等生理指标。结果表明:3种植物对O3污染表现出不同的受害症状。受O3污染危害最重的为米兰,其次为尾叶桉,而马尾松抗性最强。O3污染导致植物叶绿素含量、可溶性糖含量呈下降趋势,而POD活性升高,少数种类则出现微弱的下降趋势。CAT基本表现为低浓度O3污染时活性上升,在高浓度时,由于酶的结构受破坏,而出现下降的趋势,但也有的种类是外部臭氧浓度越高,则CAT含量越高。丙二醛含量则是多数情况比对照升高,而某个种类变化不明显或稍有下降。可溶性蛋白含量是在低浓度O3污染时有所上升,而高浓度时则出现下降的情况。研究结果表明,在评价不同植物种类对污染物的抗性时,不能仅考虑某个生理指标的变化,还要综合考虑各个指标的状况。     

不同植物叶片臭氧伤害症状及其生理响应机制的差异

快速发展的城市化和工业化引起近地层臭氧浓度不断升高,对城市绿化植物具有很大的毒性伤害。选择城市常见的景观植物万寿菊、矮牵牛及圆叶牵牛为供试植物,利用开顶式气室,研究了不同植物臭氧伤害症状及其生理响应机制的差异。结果表明:1)臭氧暴露后,供试植物叶片均出现了不同程度的臭氧伤害,或叶脉间黄化(万寿菊和矮牵牛),或出现白色斑点(圆叶牵牛),且随臭氧浓度升高其黄化程度加剧,白色斑点亦扩张形成白色斑块,最终叶片从症状形成的地方开始干枯。2)臭氧暴露加剧了供试植物叶片膜脂过氧化程度,但对可溶性蛋白含量没有显著影响,说明植物生长后期臭氧暴露并没有造成蛋白质退化进而引起植物抗臭氧胁迫能力的下降。3)臭氧暴露后万寿菊叶片茉莉酸含量降低,矮牵牛叶片水杨酸含量显著升高,而圆叶牵牛既有水杨酸含量的升高又有茉莉酸含量的降低,说明不同植物对臭氧伤害的激素响应是不一致的,茉莉酸保护能力减弱引起了臭氧对万寿菊叶片伤害,水杨酸过度累积造成了矮牵牛叶片的臭氧直接伤害,而圆叶牵牛的臭氧伤害则是2种原因都可能存在。因此,在大气臭氧浓度尚不能有效控制的情况下,明确不同植物臭氧伤害形成的激素响应,以采取针对性保护措施维持其最大生态效益。     

EDU对臭氧胁迫下菠菜急性伤害症状和光合特性的影响

如何减轻近地层臭氧(O3)体积分数持续升高对作物的影响是污染生态学研究的热点之一。运用改进的开顶式气室(open-top chambers,OTCs)装置,对嘉兴尖叶、嘉兴圆叶和荷兰35三种菠菜(Spinacia oleracea L.)进行连续5 d,每天8 h的臭氧急性暴露处理,且在暴露前24 h喷施300 mg.L-1质量浓度抗氧化剂ethylenediurea(EDU),研究EDU对臭氧胁迫下菠菜急性伤害症状及光合特性的影响。结果表明:(1)菠菜暴露于高体积分数O3时,叶片出现失水干枯、坏死斑等急性伤害症状,光合色素含量、气体交换参数和光响应参数显著降低,且下降幅度和暴露体积分数呈正相关。(2)菠菜经EDU处理后,光合特性参数明显提高。对O3和EDU作双因子分析发现,随着臭氧体积分数升高,EDU对叶片气体交换参数的影响显著,而对其他参数的影响不明显。由此可见,尽管EDU的防护作用对高体积分数的O3胁迫是有限的,但喷施EDU仍能有效减轻O3对植物的伤害,这对缓解农田生态系统O3污染灾害有积极意义。

The effect of pollution on crime: Evidence from data on particulate matter and ozone

We estimate the effect of short-term air pollution exposure (PM_2.5 and ozone) on several categories of crime, with a particular emphasis on aggressive behavior. To identify this relationship, we combine detailed daily data on crime, air pollution, and weather for an eight-year period across the United States. Our primary identification strategy employs extremely high dimensional fixed effects and we perform a series of robustness checks to address confounding variation between temperature and air pollution. We find a robust positive effect of increased air pollution on violent crimes, and specifically assaults, but no relationship between increases in air pollution and property crimes. The effects are present in and out of the home, at levels well below Ambient Air Pollution Standards, and PM_2.5 effects are strongest at lower temperatures. The results suggest that a 10% reduction in daily PM_2.5 and ozone could save $1.4 billion in crime costs per year, a previously overlooked cost associated with pollution.     

Local production,downward and regional transport aggravated surface ozone pollution during the historical orange-alert large-scale ozone episode in eastern China

Increasing severe and persistent ozone pollution in China has resulted in serious harm to human health in recent years, yet the precise pollution sources are poorly known because there is few knowledge on large-scale extreme ozone episodes. Here, we studied the formation of the historical orange-alert regional ozone episode in eastern China on 6 June, 2021, by combining process analysis, integrated source apportionment modelling, and chemical and meteorological data. Results show that during the pollution episode, 94% of cities in eastern China suffered ozone pollution, and 39% had daily maximum 8-h average ozone concentrations higher than 100 ppb. This is explained by favorable local ozone formation and transports provided by the prevailing northwestern winds in the upper air, and by sinking atmospheric motions favoring the persistence of high surface ozone concentrations. During daytime, local photochemical production induced an ozone increase of 0.3–28.4 ppb h^?1 and vertical transport induced an ozone increase of 0.4–56.1 ppb h^?1. As a consequence, vertical downward transport of ozone generated in the upper air by photochemical reactions aggravated surface ozone pollution. Surface ozone concentrations include 25.8–53.9% of ozone from local provincial emissions, 0–42.6% of ozone from inter-regional transports from neighboring regions, 4.6–23.1% of ozone from outer-regional transport, and 13.6–52.9% of ozone from boundary conditions in the selected cities. Overall, our findings show that favorable meteorological conditions promoted the chemical productions of ozone on the surface and at high altitudes, thus resulting in this heavy ozone pollution. In addition, regional and vertical downward transports of aloft ozone further aggravated the surface ozone pollution, leading to the large-scale extreme ozone pollution episode.

     

A high capacity ozone generator for use in aquaculture and water processing

The literature dealing with the use of ozone in wastewater treatment is extensive, but its reported applications to aquaculture are limited. The major limiting factors appear to be ozone toxicity and the cost of high-output ozone generators. Ozone toxicity may be circumvented by system design, thereby leaving generating equipment as the major obstacle. A small, high-output ozone generator, therefore, was designed utilizing the efficient Lowther plate-type principle. The unit, employing stainless-steel wire-mesh electrodes and mica dielectrics, may be used with air, oxygen, or oxygen-enriched air. Ozone production from air was evaluated at 0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 cfm (3.54, 7.08 and 14.2 l/min) and oxygen at 0.25 cfm (7.08 l/min). Maximum output from air (0.25 cfm; 2.95 kV) was 84.1 g/h. Oxygen under identical conditions resulted in a production rate of 142.7 g/h. The application of this new ozone-generator design is recommended for water treatment in both open-and closed-water systems.Contribution No. 343, Department of Biology.     

Influence of various emission scenarios on ozone in Europe

In this study, we investigated the effect of numerous regulations enforced since 1985 to improve air quality on ozone in Europe with the focus on Switzerland, using the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx) for a specific summer period. Several emission scenarios for the year 2010 were also considered. The model results suggest that the emission reductions of ozone precursors should have been effective to reduce ozone production between 1985 and 2000 in northern Switzerland. However, observations do not indicate any significant change in surface ozone levels since early 1990s, except in the region of Zurich where there is a small negative trend. On the other hand, the model predictions match very well the spatial variability of the trends but the calculated trends are around 0.5 ppb year⁻¹ lower than those observed. This difference is similar to the background ozone increase as suggested by the long-term observations at the high Alpine station Jungfraujoch. These results support the hypothesis that the decrease in local ozone production due to emission reductions might have been partly or completely compensated by the simultaneous increase in the background ozone. In 2010, a strict application of the Gothenburg Protocol in Europe would lead to a decrease in peak ozone concentrations by about 5% in Switzerland under the meteorological conditions applied. Our calculations also indicated that emission controls only in Switzerland would not be very effective to improve the air quality in the future. The further development of the background ozone will in any case be very important for the tropospheric ozone levels.     

Troposphärisches Ozon: Entstehung, Konzentrationsvariabilität und Wirkung unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Ozonminderung

This paper is an attempt to summarise and critically assess our knowledge on the formation, variation in concentrations and impact of ozone under the aspect of abatement strategies. The present ozone budget is determined to about 50% through human activities where methane and carbon monoxide contribute more than 80% to ozone formation. This “residual” or “background” ozone determines the annual mean ozone concentration. Due to the long time period (months and years) required for CH₄ and CO oxidation, both compounds do not contribute to the excessive ozone concentrations often found in the summer. Moreover, the increase in tropospheric ozone is becoming a global problem. Because emissions of CH₄ and CO are increasing globally, the “background” ozone will also increase in the future. Non-methanehydrocarbons (NMHC) may produce O₃ within a few days because of their high reactivity concerning oxidants. For photochemical O₃ formation, the source-sink budget has to be taken into account for making an estimation of the net ozone formation. Ozone accumulation only occurs when the removal potential (especially heterogeneous processes within clouds, but also a reduction in the net photochemical formation) of the air mass is small. This “excess” ozone has been reduced successfully within the last decade, most likely as a result of automobile catalyst use. An impact of O₃ on humans has been found only for concentrations >100 ppb. Thus, O₃ should not be a problem for people. Although vegetation is much more sensitive (esp. conifers), it is not possible to present reliable thresholds at present. There is evidence that the dose (accumulation exposure) is an important criterion. Therefore, a mean annual concentration which may possibly be increasing further should be the target of air pollution controls. Former measures and ideas of ozone controlling have no usefulness in this sense.     

Verteilung und Abnahme von bodennahem Ozon in städtischen und ländlichen Regionen

The compilation of ozone data for the federal states of Hesse and Northrhine-Westphalia (NRW) in Germany indicated that the concentration of ozone level slightly decreased during the years 1990–1998. The average concentration of ozone over forest areas is significantly higher than over cities. Only the maximum figures in the years approached one another. However, values passing the legal thresholds (180 μg ozone/m³) were two to three-fold higher over forests than over cities. The ozone concentration in air is inversely proportional to the traffic density. It is suggested that the lower NOx concentration over the forest than over cities is involved in the maintenance of the higher ozone-concentration over forest areas. In the cities, the ozone is reduced by NO to almost zero at night, whereas it is reduced by only about 50% over forests with lower NO concentrations. This reduction is only partially compensated in connection with the photolysis of NO₂ and the subsequent oxidation of O₂ to O₃ during the day. The ozone situation is principally the same in the federal states of Hesse and Northrhine-Westphalia.

High reduction of ozone and particulate matter during the 2016 G-20 summit in Hangzhou by forced emission controls of industry and traffic

Many regions in China experience air pollution episodes because of the rapid urbanization and industrialization over the past decades. Here we analyzed the effect of emission controls implemented during the G-20 2016 Hangzhou summit on air quality. Emission controls included a forced closure of highly polluting industries, and limiting traffic and construction emissions in the cities and surroundings. Particles with aerodynamic diameter lower than 2.5 μm (PM_2.5) and ozone (O₃) were measured. We also simulated air quality using a forecast system consisting of the two-way coupled Weather Research and Forecast and Community Multi-scale Air Quality (WRF-CMAQ) model. Results show PM_2.5 and ozone levels in Hangzhou during the G-20 Summit were considerably lower than previous to the G-20 Summit. The predicted concentrations of ozone were reduced by 25.4%, whereas the predicted concentrations of PM_2.5 were reduced by 56%.
