A system dynamics urban water management model for Macau, China

Urban water resources have been facing significant pressure from population growth, urbanization, and climate change. A system dynamics urban water management model was proposed to simulate the dynamic interactions between urban water demands and society, economy, climate, and water conservation. The residents'' water conservation willingness was incorporated in the model and water-saving effects were quantified. The simulation results for Macau showed that population size was the main driving force for urban water demand. The change of temperature and precipitation has obvious effects on the landscape water demand. The water demand output is sensitive to the change in population, per capita demand, and temperature. Increased precipitation will reduce urban water demand and increased economic growth will increase water demand. By implementing integrated water conservation measures and improved water conservation willingness, water demand could be reduced by 17.5%.

老港填埋场渗滤液性质随工艺变化研究

经老港填埋场渗滤液处理系统的各处理单元处理后的流出液,用不同孔径的系列膜进行了梯度分离。分离前后的渗滤液进行了TOC、TP、TN、氨氮和可溶性P等参数的测定,并建立了各参数与不同孔径膜的关系。结果表明,此工艺对老港填埋场渗滤液的处理具有一定的功效;随着处理工艺的进行,渗滤液的组成发生了较大的改变,其中细胶体部分的百分含量增加,而可溶性部分降低;渗滤液的绝大部分污染物质集中于可溶性部分,而渗滤液中的P主要与大分子的悬浮物和粗胶体结合。

采用模拟配制生活污水,研究循序间歇反应器(SBR)工艺在不同运行条件下对好氧污泥颗粒化和生物除磷效果的影响.试验分别对进水中不同COD/TN比(11.79,18.85,20.72,24.66)、COD/TP比(27.85,44.53,48.93、58.25)、TN/TP比(4.00,2.36,1.54)、温度(22℃,15℃,8℃)和污泥龄(16d,10d,5d)作比较,发现进水中较高的COD/TN比(24.66)、COD/TP比(58.25)、温度(22℃)和较低的污泥龄(10d)对生物除磷和颗粒的形成有利;适当的TN/TP比(2.36)、接种污泥的选择是好氧颗粒污泥形成的关键.     

锌冶炼烟气制酸废水中汞的测定

采用冷原子吸收光度法测定经石灰乳和铁盐处理后的锌冶炼烟气制酸废水中汞的浓度时,可按废水中汞浓度与其pH的关系,从试样pH的高低大致估计其汞浓度范围,由此确定其稀释倍数和取样量。试样用KBrO3-KBr消解法消解,用直接法稀释,这样可以减少操作步骤、缩短测定周期、减少样品中汞的损失、提高监测结果的可靠性和准确性,同时可减少人力、物力浪费,降低监测成本。

Air pollution perception in ten countries during the COVID-19 pandemic

As largely documented in the literature, the stark restrictions enforced worldwide in 2020 to curb the COVID-19 pandemic also curtailed the production of air pollutants to some extent. This study investigates the perception of the air pollution as assessed by individuals located in ten countries: Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Iran, Italy, Norway, South Africa and the USA. The perceptions towards air quality were evaluated by employing an online survey administered in May 2020. Participants (N = 9394) in the ten countries expressed their opinions according to a Likert-scale response. A reduction in pollutant concentration was clearly perceived, albeit to a different extent, by all populations. The survey participants located in India and Italy perceived the largest drop in the air pollution concentration; conversely, the smallest variation was perceived among Chinese and Norwegian respondents. Among all the demographic indicators considered, only gender proved to be statistically significant.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13280-021-01574-2.     

Chemical content and source apportionment of 36 heavy metal analysis and health risk assessment in aerosol of Beijing

The concentration levels of 36 airborne heavy metals and atmospheric radioactivity in total suspended particulate (TSP) samples were measured to investigate the chemical characteristics, potential sources of aerosols, and health risk in Beijing, China, from September 2016 to September 2017. The TSP concentrations varied from 6.93 to 469.18 μg/m³, with a median of 133.97 μg/m³. The order for the mean concentrations of heavy metals, known as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), was as follows: Mn > Pb > As > Cr > Ni > Se > Cd > Co > Sb > Hg > Be; Non-Designated HAPs Metals: Ca > Fe > Mg > Al > K > Na > Zn > P > Ba > Ti > Cu > Sr > B > Sn > I > V > Rb > Ce > Mo > Cs > Th > Ag > U > Pt. The median concentration of As was higher than China air quality standard (6 ng/m³). The gross α and β concentration levels in aerosols were (1.84?±?1.59) mBg/m³ and (1.15?±?0.85) mBg/m³, respectively. The enrichment factor values of Cu, Ba, B, Ce, Tl, Cs, Pb, As, Cd, Sb, Hg, Fe, Zn, Sn, I, Mo, and Ag were higher than 10, which indicated enriched results from anthropogenic sources. Pb, As, and Cd are considered to originate from multiple sources; fireworks released Ba during China spring festival; Fe, Ce, and Cs may come from stable emissions such as industrial gases. The health risks from anthropogenic metals via inhalation, ingestion, and dermal pathway were estimated on the basis of health quotient as well as the results indicated that children faced the higher risk than adults during the research period. For adults, the health risk posed by heavy metals in atmospheric particles was below the acceptable level.
