Atmospheric DDTs over the North Pacific Ocean and the adjacent Arctic region: Spatial distribution,congener patterns and source implication

During the 2003 Chinese Arctic Research Expedition (CHINARE 2003) from Bohai Sea to the high Arctic (37°N–80°N), air samples were collected and analyzed for DDTs. ∑DDTs (sum of six congeners) ranged from 0.52 to 265 pg m^?3 with an average of 13.1 pg m^?3. Higher DDT concentrations were observed in Bohai Sea and near eastern Russia. The congener patterns were obviously different between the Far East Asia and the higher latitudinal regions that p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT were dominated in the former; while o,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDE were dominated in the latter. The source contributions of technical DDT and dicofol type DDT were estimated. Results showed that technical DDT was the dominant source (>94%) which was fresher in the Far East Asia compared to the North Pacific Ocean and the Arctic. For dicofol type DDT, the estimated contribution was minor. The “new” o,p'-DDT observed should have relatively more contribution from dicofol type DDT in the North Pacific Ocean and the Arctic.     

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in surface sediments of the Yangtze River Delta: Levels, distribution and potential hydrodynamic influence

A total of 32 surface sediments collected from the Yangtze River Estuary, Hangzhou Bay and the Qiantang River were analyzed for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). The concentrations of summation operatorPBDEs (sum of 12 PBDE congeners without BDE 209) and BDE 209 varied from n.d. to 0.55 and from 0.16 to 94.6 ng/g, respectively. The spatial variability of summation operatorPBDEs concentrations indicated that waste discharge from the urban areas might been the main source of PBDEs in the Yangtze River Delta. BDE 209 was the predominant congener (approximately 90-100%) detected among the 13 congeners, consistent with the fact that technical deca-BDE mixtures are presently the dominant technical PBDE mixtures used in China. Compared to published data acquired from other locales, PBDE congeners with less than four bromines were more abundant in the present study area. The hydrodynamic conditions may likely be a significant factor in dictating the observed levels and congener distribution patterns of PBDEs.     

Electrochemical detoxification of four phosphorothioate obsolete pesticides stocks

The phosphorothioate pesticides are widely used for crop production and fruit tree treatment, but their disposal causes serious environmental problems. Four commercial phosphorothioate pesticides (Demeton-S-methyl, Metamidophos, Fenthion and Diazinon) were treated by an electrolysis system using Ti/Pt as anode and stainless steel 304 as cathode. A number of experiments were run in a laboratory scale pilot plant and the results are presented. For Fenthion the achieved reduction was over 60%, while for Demeton-S-methyl, Metamidophos and Diazinon was more than 50%. Diazinon had the lowest energy demand. The COD/BOD5 ratio was improved considerably after electrolysis for all four pesticides examined. As a conclusion, electrochemical oxidation could be used as a pretreatment method of the pesticides detoxification.

采用瞬时烟线仪与迪沙(DISA)热线风速仪相结合的方法探测了山体的绕流区和尾流区结构。试验结果表明,山体的绕流和尾流对低架源排放的气态污染物扩散影响甚大,山体绕流可改变烟流的地面浓度分布.结果还表明,我们所用的探测流向的方法较为有效和准确.     

城市污水净化的环境效益与环境影响分析

对佛山城市污水净化系统的环境响应和效益预测原则，城市污水净系统正式运转将对佛山水道化纤厂至人民桥段及佛山涌水质有明显改善，其社会效益十分显著，但净化系统的建设交将带来以恶臭、卫生防疫和噪声等方面为主的不利环境影响。因此在城市环境建设中应尽量减少城市污水净化的负面影响，充分发挥其环境效应和社会效益，为城市环境综合整治创造良好的条件。     

H2O2对载银TiO2光催化降解Aroclor1260的影响

光催化氧化法降解水中有机污染物是近来发展较为迅速的废水处理技术，以锐钛型载银TiO2为催化剂，在发射光谱波长为254nm，功率的15W紫外灯照射下，考察不同H2O2浓度对Aroclor1260的光催化降解的影响，结果表明：低浓度的H2O2对Aroclor1260的光催化降解有促进作用，而当H2O2的浓度高于30mol/l时，光催化降解受到抑制，而且这种影响对不同PCB单体化合物的效果基本一致。
