A rapidly equilibrating, thin film, passive water sampler for organic contaminants; characterization and field testing

Improving methods for assessing the spatial and temporal resolution of organic compound concentrations in marine environments is important to the sustainable management of our coastal systems. Here we evaluate the use of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) as a candidate polymer for thin-film passive sampling in waters of marine environments. Log K_EVA−W partition coefficients correlate well (r² = 0.87) with Log K_OW values for selected pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) where Log K_EVA−W = 1.04 Log K_OW + 0.22. EVA is a suitable polymer for passive sampling due to both its high affinity for organic compounds and its ease of coating at sub-micron film thicknesses on various substrates. Twelve-day field deployments were effective in detecting target compounds with good precision making EVA a potential multi-media fugacity meter.     

环境水体中油的采样工具的设计及其可行性研究

由于油在水中呈不均匀分布的特性,所以有关环境水体中油的采样工具,一直是环保部门关注的焦点。为此提出了“理想（或称假想）水柱”的概念,并依此设计出一种在环境监测工作中使用的便携式测水中油用采样器,适用于工业废水、生活污水及污染的地表水的采取。其特点是,一个底部可开闭的采样器,采样器中的采样瓶（包括瓶底衬盖、瓶底盖）与内拉杆、外套管通过螺纹联接,移动内拉杆、外套管,便可以方便地采取一定面积下的含油水柱。采样瓶装卸简单,运输方便,在实验室中可将其直接用作操作瓶。用这种采样器,计算结果将更接近真实情况。本装置已于９２ 年１２ 月３０日获国家发明专利,专利号：８９１０２４７１．９,证书号：１６３８１。     

猫跳河流域梯级水库磷的夏季变化特征

调查了我国第一条全流域梯级水电开发的河流--猫跳河中梯级水库对磷的拦截效应。于2007年丰水期7~9月在猫跳河流域采集水库坝前分层水样以及下泄水,分析和测试水样中的总磷和正磷酸盐。结果表明：丰水期猫跳河流域梯级水库内部总磷和可溶性正磷酸盐变化趋势相似,而下泄水的磷含量均大于该水库表层水体的磷含量。在猫跳河流域的梯级水库中,上游水库（红枫湖和百花湖）的磷含量明显高于各下游水库,即猫跳河流域各水库顺水流方向磷含量具有逐渐减少的特征,说明该流域梯级水库开发对于全流域磷具有梯级拦截效应;另一方面,各水库的富营养化指数表明该流域各水库均处于较高的富营养化状态,全流域富营养化状态差别与磷的分布特征相似,表现为顺水流方向减弱的规律。

基于标准雨量计的降水采样方法比较

对太原市2013年7—11月的大气降水使用标准雨量计、国产A型和进口B型自动降水采样设备进行同步记录,分析国产A型和进口B型设备采集降水样品的p H、电导率和无机阴阳离子。结果表明,进口B型设备采集降水样品的降雨量(155.35 mm)比标准雨量计记录值(117.50 mm)高32.21%,而国产A型设备采集降水样品的降雨量(107.12mm)比标准雨量计记录值低8.83%。7—9月的15场降水,国产A型设备采集大多数降水样品的电导率和离子加权浓度均值基本上低于进口B型设备,差异程度分别达65.51%和62.52%;而p H则基本上高于进口B型,酸雨比例差异程度为61.53%。     

Passive sampling of selected endocrine disrupting compounds using polar organic chemical integrative samplers

Two types of polar organic chemical integrative samplers (pharmaceutical POCIS and pesticide POCIS) were examined for their sampling efficiency of selected endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). Laboratory-based calibration of POCISs was conducted by exposing them at high and low concentrations of 14 EDCs (4-alkyl-phenols, their ethoxylate oligomers, bisphenol A, selected estrogens and synthetic steroids) for different time periods. The kinetic studies showed an integrative uptake up to 28 days. The sampling rates for the individual compounds were obtained. The use of POCISs could result in an integrative approach to the quality status of the aquatic systems especially in the case of high variation of water concentrations of EDCs. The sampling efficiency of POCISs under various field conditions was assessed after their deployment in different aquatic environments.     

珠江三角洲地区大气中多环芳烃的被动采样观测

研究了珠江三角洲地区大气中多环芳烃的含量与分布.利用大气被动采样装置,在包括香港在内的珠江三角洲地区共设立了21个大气被动采样点,样品采集时间为2005-08-15—10-14.结果表明,除主要存在于气相中的2～3环PAHs与部分4环PAHs外,聚氨酯泡沫材料(PUF)被动采样器也可在一定程度上采集大气颗粒物中的5～7环PAHs.珠江三角洲地区大气PAHs的含量与组成存在较大差异,珠江三角洲内地采样点PAHs的含量远远高于香港采样点,这主要是受采样点所处的地理位置、气候条件以及能源消费结构的影响.初步研究表明,PUF大气被动采样器可较好地运用于区域大气PAHs污染分布与特征对比研究.
