亚青会期间南京地区气溶胶浓度变化及其与能见度的关系

为保障2014年青奥会空气质量和制定控制措施提供科学支持,利用2013年8月南京市气溶胶的观测资料,结合气象要素,分析了南京地区气溶胶浓度变化特征,并深入研究了气溶胶质量浓度与相对湿度对能见度的影响.结果表明,观测期间PM10和PM2.5质量浓度平均值分别为67.44μg·m-3和31.92μg·m-3,0.1~10μm粒径范围内的气溶胶粒子数浓度和体积浓度的平均值分别为2466.25 cm-3和19.89μm3·cm-3;对数正态分布(log-normal)拟合平均谱分布得到两个模态的中值粒径分别为0.19μm和1.12μm;局地源强是影响南京气溶胶浓度的重要因子;PM10和PM2.5质量浓度日变化略有差异,PM10浓度日变化主要受交通和边界层活动影响,PM2.5浓度日变化则主要受交通排放和光化学反应生成的二次污染物的影响;对能见度的统计分析表明,能见度随PM2.5浓度和相对湿度的增加而降低,当相对湿度小于70%时,PM2.5浓度对能见度的影响较大,当相对湿度大于70%时,相对湿度对能见度的影响较大.     

苏南地区香樟树皮中有机氯农药(OCPs)的污染水平及来源解析

利用树皮作为被动采样介质,2012年8月于苏南地区采集了33个香樟树皮进行有机氯农药(OCPs)的分析.结果表明,苏南地区香樟树皮中六氯苯(HCB)、滴滴涕(DDTs)和氯丹(Chlordanes)的含量范围(以干重计)分别为0.31~1.81、0.40~17.3和n.d.~1.03 ng·g-1.由于六氯苯挥发性较强,其含量的空间差异性不明显.同其它研究结果相比,苏南地区树皮中六氯苯含量相对较低.苏南地区DDT主要来源于工业DDT的历史残留和三氯杀螨醇的使用.根据反式氯丹(TC)/顺式氯丹(CC)的比值判定,苏南地区城区中氯丹可能来源于近期的直接使用,而乡村地区则来源于历史残留.

溴代阻燃剂在中国川藏地区的污染和分布特征

利用气质联用仪(GC-NCI-MS)对中国川藏地区饮用水、表土和青稞样品中PBDEs(包括十溴联苯醚在内)和TBBPA的含量进行了检测,分析了PBDE同系物的分布模式,比较研究了不同区域的溴系阻燃剂(BFRs)的污染水平、可能来源和环境影响因素.结果显示,西藏地区饮用水中均未检出PBDEs和TBBPA.表土样品中∑13PBDEs的含量范围为0.87~10.56 ng·kg-1(以干重计),PBDE主要同系物为BDE-15、209、47和99(所有样品中100%检出),分别占∑13PBDE含量的39.0%、16.5%、10.5%和10.5%.另外,研究发现,土壤中∑13PBDEs与TBBPA的含量显著相关,暗示了它们相似的空间分布,且PBDEs和TBBPA均与TOC值显著相关,PBDEs和TBBPA与海拔高度呈显著线性关系.这表明川藏地区土壤中PBDEs和TBBPA的污染为同一来源,且其含量不仅受TOC值和海拔高度的影响,也可能受与PBDE和TBBPA有关的大气传输、稀释或吸附、沉降多种因素影响.在偏远地区的农作物青稞中检测到了PBDEs和TBBPA,可能是通过大气沉降到农作物表面,被生物富集和吸收.青稞为该地区居民主食的原料,尽管PBDEs和TBBPA的含量非常低,但可能对当地居民健康产生影响.     

Removal of arsenate with hydrous ferric oxide coprecipitation：Effect of humic acid

Insights from the adverse effect of humic acid(HA) on arsenate removal with hydrous ferric oxide(HFO) coprecipitation can further our understanding of the fate of As(V) in water treatment process. The motivation of our study is to explore the competitive adsorption mechanisms of humic acid and As(V) on HFO on the molecular scale. Multiple complementary techniques were used including macroscopic adsorption experiments, surface enhanced Raman scattering(SERS), extended X-ray absorption fine structure(EXAFS) spectroscopy, flow-cell attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared(ATR-FTIR) measurement, and charge distribution multisite complexation(CDMUSIC) modeling. The As(V) removal efficiency was reduced from over 95% to about 10% with the increasing HA concentration to 25 times of As(V) mass concentration. The SERS analysis excluded the HA-As(V) complex formation. The EXAFS results indicate that As(V) formed bidentate binuclear surface complexes in the presence of HA as evidenced by an As-Fe distance of 3.26–3.31 ?. The in situ ATR-FTIR measurements show that As(V) replaces surface hydroxyl groups and forms innersphere complex. High concentrations of HA may physically block the surface sites and inhibit the As(V) access. The adsorption of As(V) and HA decreased the point of zero charge of HFO from 7.8 to 5.8 and 6.3, respectively. The CD-MUSIC model described the zeta potential curves and adsorption edges of As(V) and HA reasonably well.     

A simulation study of mercury release fluxes from soils in wet-dry rotation environment

A simulative mesocosm study was conducted to evaluate the influence of wet-dry rotation on mercury（Hg） flux from soil/water to air and the distribution of Hg species in water as well as Hg chemical fractions in soil. Three types of soil were employed including two kinds of paddy soil, Typic Purpli-Udic Cambosols（TPUC） and Xanthi-Udic Ferralosols（XUF）, as well as the Alluvial Soil（AS） from Three Gorge reservoir area in Chongqing, China. The results showed that Hg fluxes in wetting periods were significantly higher than that in drying periods. It might be due to the formation of a layer of stable air over the water surface in which some redox reactions promote evasion processes over the water surface. This result indicated that more Hg would be evaporated from the Three Gorge reservoir and paddy soil field during the flooding season. Hg fluxes were positively correlated with air temperature and solar irradiation, while negatively correlated with air humidity and the electronic conductivity of water. Hg fluxes from AS and TPUC were significantly higher than that from XUF, which might be due to the higher organic matter（OM） contents in XUF than TPUC and AS. The reduction processes of oxidized Hg were restrained due to the strong binding of Hg to OM, resulting in the decrease in Hg flux from the soil.     

Characteristics of secondary inorganic aerosol and sulfate species in size-fractionated aerosol particles in Shanghai

Sulfate, nitrate and ammonium(SNA) are the dominant species in secondary inorganic aerosol, and are considered an important factor in regional haze formation. Size-fractionated aerosol particles for a whole year were collected to study the size distribution of SNA as well as their chemical species in Shanghai. SNA mainly accumulated in fine particles and the highest average ratio of SNA to particulate matter(PM) was observed to be 47% in the fine size fraction(0.49–0.95 μm). Higher sulfur oxidation ratio and nitrogen oxidation ratio values were observed in PM of fine size less than 0.95 μm. Ion balance calculations indicated that more secondary sulfate and nitrate would be generated in PM of fine size(0.49–0.95 μm). Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure(XANES) spectra of typical samples were analyzed. Results revealed that sulfur mainly existed as sulfate with a proportion(atomic basis) more than 73% in all size of PM and even higher at 90% in fine particles. Sulfate mainly existed as(NH4)2SO4 and gypsum in PM of Shanghai. Compared to non-haze days, a dramatic increase of(NH4)2SO4 content was found in fine particles on haze days only, which suggested the promoting impact of(NH4)2SO4 on haze formation. According to the result of air mass backward trajectory analysis, more(NH4)2SO4 would be generated during the periods of air mass stagnation. Based on XANES, analysis of sulfate species in size-fractionated aerosol particles can be an effective way to evaluate the impact of sulfate aerosols on regional haze formation.     

Application of fish index of biological integrity (FIBI) in the Sanmenxia Wetland with water quality implications

Long-term changes of fish biotic integrity in the Sanmenxia Wetland,North China,since the 1950 s were assessed using the fish index of biological integrity（FIBI）. The water and sediment quality was evaluated by the water quality index（WQI） and sediment pollution index（SPI）. The results showed that FIBI continuously decreased from 46 to 20 during the past 5 decades,which indicated that the fish community state shifted from fair to very poor conditions,and damming by itself did not affect the fish biotic integrity. At the same time,WQI fell from 83 to 44.1,and SPI increased from 0.99 to 2.14 since the 1960 s,resulting from fast regional socio-economic development and insufficient wastewater treatment. Correlation analysis suggested that water quality significantly affected biotic integrity（r = 0.867,p 〈 0.05） through direct effects on the fish community. As a representative example of many wetlands in North China,our study clearly demonstrated that the biological integrity was degraded,induced both by water quality deterioration and sediment pollution,further driven by the contradiction between rapid development of regional economy and lagging development of sewage treatment facilities,which were thought to be the main factor responsible for the degradation of biological integrity.
