Effects of sediment composition on inorganic mercury partitioning, speciation and bioavailability in oxic surficial sediments

Artificially prepared sediments were used to assess the effects of sediment composition on inorganic Hg partitioning, speciation and bioavailability. Organic coating in sediment greatly increased the Hg partitioning and the amount of bioavailable Hg bound with the clay and the Fe and Mn oxides, but had little effect on that bound with the quartz and calcium carbonate as a result of weaker binding of humic acids and fulvic acids. The clay content increased the concentration of Hg in the sediments but inhibited the gut juice extraction due to the strong binding of Hg-organic matter (OM) complexes. Most Hg in the sediments was complexed by OM (mainly distributed in the organo-complexed phase and the strongly complexed phase), and the Hg-OM complexes (especially Hg in the strongly complexed phase) in sediments contributed much to gut juice extraction. Redistribution of Hg-OM complexes between sediments and gut juices may occur during gut juice extraction and modify Hg bioavailability and speciation in sediments.     

区域减灾能力信任与公众水灾风险认知——基于社会调查及分析

探索公众的自然灾害认知,有助于揭示风险潜在因素,为开展有效的风险沟通和风险管理提供基础依据.依据在重庆、湖南等部分省市的洪灾易发区开展社会调查收回的635份有效问卷,通过统计分析公众对于区域社会减灾能力的信任及其水灾认知,并探讨了信任对认知的影响.结果表明,公众对于社会减灾能力持信任态度,信任高低依次为:监测预警预报＞基础设施＞防洪工程＞政府应急管理,且信任的高低受年龄、灾害经历和区域经济发展水平的影响而存在差异.减灾能力信任会影响到公众的灾害风险认知,信任的增强会降低公众对洪灾的恐惧心理和对风险大小的判断,同时产生积极和消极并存的防灾行为倾向.因此构建"文化自觉"的科学防灾文化观有利于正确指引公众认识到减灾措施及能力的限度.

Life-cycle assessment of flash pyrolysis of wood waste

This work analyzes a process known as flash pyrolysis, which produces bio fuels using biomass for power generation. A life-cycle assessment of flash pyrolysis of wood waste was conducted to study whether a flash pyrolysis plant set up locally would be environmentally friendly. The results obtained show that the process of flash pyrolysis of wood waste is in fact environmentally friendly, and the process has little contribution to the environment. However, efforts still have to be made to address the global warming potential issue. Continuous research and developments must be carried out to further reduce the global warming potential of the flash pyrolysis.     

Diversification and Sustainable Development in Chinese Agriculture

Feeding a growing population exceeding 1 billion is a big challenge to the Chinese government and has partly led to the self-sufficient policy in grain production and supply for decades. However, the efforts to push grain production everywhere have resulted in not only deterioration of the environment but also stagnation or even reduction in farmers' income as production costs continue to increase. This situation might be worsening after China's accession to the WTO that provides market access for bulk commodity imports. A sustainable development in Chinese agriculture depends on diversification, or structural adjustment, that allows Chinese farmers to fully utilize their comparative advantage in production of labor-intensive goods. Past experience has shown that diversification has contributed more than a half of the growth in Chinese agriculture during the reform period and reduced stresses on the environment at the same time. It is likely to contribute even more to Chinese agriculture in the future an

醚类物质降解过程中的加氧酶研究进展

甲基叔丁基醚(MTBE)和乙基叔丁基醚(ETBE)在水中积累,不易降解,同时MTBE具有一定的潜在致癌性.有关微生物对MTBE和ETBE等醚类物质的降解途径和机制的研究目前受到国内外研究者的广泛关注,而加氧酶的研究是其关键领域.已发现的对醚类物质降解有重要作用的酶类主要有细胞色素P450单加氧酶和烷烃单加氧酶.其中细胞色素P450单加氧酶主要由eth基因或cam基因编码,而烷烃单加氧酶主要由alk基因编码.结合MTBE和ETBE的代谢途径,并就醚类物质降解和代谢过程中起关键作用的加氧酶的研究进展作了综述.
