Source characterization of ambient fine particles at multiple sites in the Seattle area

To identify major PM_2.5 (particulate matter ≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) sources with a particular emphasis on the ship engine emissions from a major port, integrated 24 h PM_2.5 speciation data collected between 2000 and 2005 at five United State Environmental Protection Agency's Speciation Trends Network monitoring sites in Seattle, WA were analyzed. Seven to ten PM_2.5 sources were identified through the application of positive matrix factorization (PMF). Secondary particles (12–26% for secondary nitrate; 17–20% for secondary sulfate) and gasoline vehicle emissions (13–31%) made the largest contributions to the PM_2.5 mass concentrations at all of the monitoring sites except for the residential Lake Forest site, where wood smoke contributed the most PM_2.5 mass (31%). Other identified sources include diesel vehicle emissions, airborne soil, residual oil combustion, sea salt, aged sea salt, metal processing, and cement kiln. Residual oil combustion sources identified at multiple monitoring sites point clearly to the Port of Seattle suggesting ship emissions as the source of oil combustion particles. In addition, the relationship between sulfate concentrations and the oil combustion emissions indicated contributions of ship emissions to the local sulfate concentrations. The analysis of spatial variability of PM_2.5 sources shows that the spatial distributions of several PM_2.5 sources were heterogeneous within a given air shed.     

超强台风“桑美”特征及预报服务效益分析

0608号超强台风“桑美”在浙江省苍南县登陆时中心附近最大风力有17级（60m／s），中心气压为920hPa，是建国以来登陆我国大陆最强的台风。分析表明，对“桑美”的路径和强度在近海及其登陆时的预报较为准确，气象预报预警服务也比较到位，政府也进行了科学的防御，但超强台风造成的人员伤亡和财产损失仍然是非常严重的，为应对百年一遇超强台风的袭击，沿海有关地区的台风防灾体系和防范措施尚需重新考虑。     

Emission of isoprene from common Indian plant species and its implications for regional air quality

Isoprene is most dominant volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted by many plants. In this study 40 common Indian plant species were examined for isoprene emission using dynamic flow through enclosure chamber technique. Isoprene emission rates of plants species were found to vary from undetectable to 69.5 microg g(-1) h(-1) (Madhuca latifolia). Besides, an attempt has been made to evaluate suitability of 80 common Indian plant species for planting programmes. Out of 80 species, 29 species were moderate to high emitters (10 to < or =25 microg g(-1) h(-1)), 12 species were low emitter emitters (1 to < or =10 microg g(-1) h(-1)) and remaining 39 species were found to be negligible or non emitters (<1 microg g(-1) h(-1)) of isoprene. About 50% plant species selected for planting programmes in India were found to be moderate to high emitters of isoprene.     

浙江木材产业可持续发展分析

浙江是一个森林资源稀缺的区域,在面临森林资源稀缺的条件下,浙江木材产业发展却位居全国前列.论文首先从产业规模、产业组织和产业集聚三方面总续了浙江木材产业发展现状及特点;在此基础上,总结了浙江木材产业快速发展过程中面临的主要问题,诸如木材资源供给的不可持续性、木材产业经营成本不断上涨、国际市场与国内市场分割等.问题分析表明,木材资源的短缺已成为浙江木材产业发展的瓶颈,经营成本的上涨影响了浙江木材产业发展的动力,国内外市场分割限制了浙江木材产业的竞争范围,这直接影响到浙江木材产业的可持续发展.现代市场经济发展表明,产业可持续发展需要企业、行业协会以及政府的通力合作.最后,论文分别从企业、行业协会和政府三个层面提出了促进浙江木材产业可持续发展的对策建议.     

应用活性炭再生含多环芳烃植物油的可行性及性能评价

为利用植物油去除污染土壤中的多环芳烃,研究了应用活性炭F400吸附柱再生含多环芳烃植物油的可行性,对含高浓度多环芳烃的植物油进行二级再生处理,优化了过程参数,比较了原植物油和经活性炭再生的植物油去除土壤中多环芳烃能力的差别.结果表明,活性炭吸附法可以实现含多环芳烃植物油的再生,证明了修复策略的可行性.二级处理可以进一步吸附植物油中的多环芳烃,且高分子量多环芳烃几乎完全被去除.再生植物油和原植物油去除土壤中多环芳烃的能力没有明显差别.     

Dryland characteristics and its optimized eco‐productive paradigms for sustainable development in China

Dryland area occupies 37% of the national territory in China. Desertification and other disasters have limited dryland sustainable development. Here we overview the dryland characteristics and desertification status and introduce four regionally optimized eco‐productive paradigms for dryland sustainable development, i.e., the mountain‐oasis paradigm in arid desert; the small watershed‐based paradigm on the Loess Plateau; the integrated animal husbandry paradigm on the Inner Mongolia Steppe and the agro‐pastoral transitional region; and three circle paradigm on the Ordos Plateau. These paradigms are established on the basis of regional landscape patterns and their underlying material and energy flow rules, and different functional belts are determined and capitalized upon with the integrated consideration of regional biogeophysical processes, biogeochemical cycles and biogeosocial relations. These paradigms cannot cover all complex landscape types, but provide theoretical frameworks and practicable models for dryland sustainable development in China.     

钯离子液相催化氧化低浓度磷化氢

采用Pd^2＋液相催化氧化低浓度PH3，考察了Pd^2＋浓度、O2体积分数、PH3质量浓度、混合气流量、反应温度等因素对Pd^2＋吸收液去除低浓度PH3效果的影响。实验结果表明，采用10mL Pd^2＋浓度为0．112mol／L的水溶液作为吸收液净化含低浓度PH3的混合气，在反应温度22℃、O2体积分数5％、PH3质量浓度850mg／m^3、混合气流量190mL／min的条件下，印min之内PH3去除率保持在90％以上。Pd^2＋浓度越高、O2体积分数越大、反应温度越高，PH3去除率越高；混合气流量越大，PH3去除率越低；反应温度越低、O2体积分数越大，PH3去除率的下降速率越小。
