Cadmium-induced DNA damage and mutations in Arabidopsis plantlet shoots identified by DNA fingerprinting

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) test is a feasible method to evaluate the toxicity of environmental pollutants on vegetal organisms. Herein, Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) plantlets following Cadmium (Cd) treatment for 26 d were screened for DNA genetic alterations by DNA fingerprinting. Four primers amplified 20-23 mutated RAPD fragments in 0.125-3.0 mg L⁻¹ Cd-treated Arabidopsis plantlets, respectively. Cloning and sequencing analysis of eight randomly selected mutated fragments revealed 99-100% homology with the genes of VARICOSE-Related, SLEEPY1 F-box, 40S ribosomal protein S3, phosphoglucomutase, and noncoding regions in Arabidopsis genome correspondingly. The results show the ability of RAPD analysis to detect significant genetic alterations in Cd-exposed seedlings. Although the exact functional importance of the other mutated bands is unknown, the presence of mutated loci in Cd-treated seedlings, prior to the onset of significant physiological effects, suggests that these altered loci are the early events in Cd-treated Arabidopsis seedlings and would greatly improve environmental risk assessment.     

电解后处理法与传统后处理法生产人造金刚石对比分析

传统的金刚石生产中提纯工艺采用大量的硝酸、硫酸和盐酸进行处理,会产生大量的有害气体、含酸废水和含有大量镍等重金属离子的废弃物,既浪费资源义对环境造成严重污染.通过实验在生产工艺中增加了电解工序,把电解工序应用于酸煮去杂工序之前,用电化学的方法回收80%以上的金属镍,提高了后处理效率,达到在生产过程中控制和减少污染物的产生,从源头上减少化工原料的投入和使用.以年产18亿克拉人造金刚石企业为个案,对比了粉体触媒法合成高品级人造金刚石生产中用电解法后处理与传统的酸煮法后处理2种工艺中污染物产生、处理费用和效益.结果表明,与传统的酸煮法后处理2种工艺相比,电解法后处理工艺可使混合酸(硝酸、硫酸和盐酸)用量减少11 400 t/a,含镍污泥产生量减少2 250 t/a,生产废水排放量减少10.05万m3/a,氢氧化钠(30%)用量减少1 300 t/a,新鲜水用量减少16万m3/a,而用电量和柴油用量分别增加1 000万kWh/a和200 t/a,由此年创利润916万元.     

A novel model of organic waste composting in Taiwan military community

The relatively large quantities of waste generated daily in military barracks pose a significant impact on environments in this small island of Taiwan due to limited land and crowded populations. In order to find a suitable handling method to the barracks' characteristics in Taiwan, a comprehensive selection model for various barracks carrying out waste composting was established through personal interviews and questionnaire data analyses on the military barracks. From this, the basic data for this research was also built, to evaluate the experiences and management practices in these facilities. This study found that environmental responsibility and expertise are the primary concerns and considerations among all of the military units when doing waste composting. Support of the commander, organizational image and human resource/facilities are also concerns. To offer the military barracks a selection model and policy guidelines for the waste composting treatment, an itemized score evaluation standard and a selecting chart of composting recycling methods were designed by combining the practical experimental results with economic considerations, waste classification, and Delphi expert technique.     

凤眼莲净化含酚污水的研究——Ⅰ.盆栽和氧化塘试验及几种环境条件对除酚的影响

通过盆栽、模拟箱和氧化塘中凤眼莲净化含酚污水的试验表明:放养凤眼莲能使除酚过程加快,在0.6—10mg/L酚浓度范围内,植物净化速率为一般自然净化速率的2—3倍。在温度17—37℃范围内,凤眼莲均能明显加速酚水的净化。光照强度对凤眼莲净化酚水速率无显著影响。平衡地提高水中矿质营养元素的浓度,能加速除酚的过程。 水中含酚量小于1mg/L不造成植株中酚的残留;6mg/L以下酚含量增加亦不明显;10mg/L以上则随酚浓度的提高,植株中酚含量成倍增加。

北京大气PM2.5中微量元素的浓度变化特征与来源

为了解北京大气细粒子中微量元素的污染水平和来源,在车公庄和清华园进行了连续1年、每周1次的PM2.5采样和全样品分析.微量元素浓度的周变化大,尤以冬季为甚,相邻2周最大相差达1.6倍;但除冬季的平均浓度较高之外,其季节变化并不显著.微量元素的富集因子在春季最低,反映了频繁发生的沙尘天气的影响.Se、Br和Pb的浓度比来自于北京A层土壤中的含量要高出约1000～8000倍,表明它们主要来自于人为污染.其中Se的富集度最高,反映了北京细粒子来自于燃煤污染的特征.Pb的年均浓度(0.31μg@m-3)虽然未超过WHO的年均标准,但与洛杉矶和布里斯班相比处于较高的水平;与Br、Se的比较分析表明,燃煤可能是Pb除机动车排放之外的另一个重要来源.     

小城镇污水处理研究

随着小城镇经济的发展，对周边地区的环境污染也在加剧。一些小城镇的水处理设施落后，缺乏污水处理的资金，造成一些小城镇面临越来越严重的水污染问题。在此前提下，采用人工湿地系统对小城镇污水进行处理，可以发挥资源的生产潜力．防止环境的再污染，可获得污水处理与资源化的最佳效益，具有较高的环境效益、经济效益及社会效益。
