Chemical characteristics of fine particles and their impact on visibility impairment in Shanghai based on a 1-year period observation

In this work, a one-year observation focusing on high time resolution characteristics of components in fine particles was conducted at an urban site in Shanghai. Contributions of different components on visibility impairment were also studied. Our research indicates that the major components of PM_2.5 in Shanghai are water-soluble inorganic ions and carbonaceous aerosol, accounting for about 60% and 30% respectively. Higher concentrations of sulfate (SO₄²⁻) and organic carbon (OC) in PM_2.5 occurred in fall and summer, while higher concentrations of nitrate (NO₃⁻) were observed in winter and spring. The mass concentrations of Cl⁻ and K⁺ were higher in winter. Moreover, NO₃⁻ increased significantly during PM_2.5 pollution episodes. The high values observed for the sulfate oxidizing rate (SOR), nitrate oxidizing rate (NOR) and secondary organic carbon (SOC) in OC indicate that photochemical reactions were quite active in Shanghai. The IMPROVE (Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments) formula was used in this study to investigate the contributions of individual PM_2.5 chemical components to the light extinction efficient in Shanghai. Both NH₄NO₃ and (NH₄)₂SO₄ had close relationships with visibility impairment in Shanghai. Our results show that the reduction of anthropogenic SO₂, NO_x and NH₃ would have a significant effect on the improvement of air quality and visibility in Shanghai.     

Being trusted: How team generational age diversity promotes and undermines trust in cross‐boundary relationships

We examine how demographic context influences the trust that boundary spanners experience in their dyadic relationships with clients. Because of the salience of age as a demographic characteristic as well as the increasing prevalence of age diversity and intergenerational conflict in the workplace, we focus on team age diversity as a demographic social context that affects trust between boundary spanners and their clients. Using social categorization theory and theories of social capital, we develop and test our contextual argument that a boundary spanner's experience of being trusted is influenced by the social categorization processes that occur in dyadic interactions with a specific client and, simultaneously, by similar social categorization processes that influence the degree to which the client team as a whole serves as a cooperative resource for demographically similar versus dissimilar boundary spanner–client dyads. Using a sample of 168 senior boundary spanners from the consulting industry, we find that generational diversity among client team members from a client organization undermines the perception of being trusted within homogeneous boundary spanner–client dyads while it enhances the perception of being trusted within heterogeneous dyads. The perception of being trusted is an important aspect of cross‐boundary relationships because it influences coordination and the costs associated with coordination. © 2015 The Author Journal of Organizational Behavior Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd     

喀斯特峰丛洼地泥沙堆积的137Cs示踪研究——以丫吉试验场为例

西南喀斯特地区是我国生态环境最脆弱的地区之一,土壤侵蚀及其造成的石漠化已成为制约该区可持续发展最严重的生态环境问题。但是该区的侵蚀泥沙研究基础薄弱,利用核素示踪法研究侵蚀泥沙的报道较少。本文以桂林丫吉试验场的峰丛洼地小流域为研究对象,运用137Cs示踪技术定量研究了洼地泥沙堆积速率,确定了该洼地小流域1963年以来的泥沙堆积速率。初步研究结果表明,1963~2008年的45年间,丫吉1号洼地的泥沙堆积速率和堆积模数分别为0.104cm·a-1和13.68 t·km-2·a-1。讨论了研究小流域泥沙堆积与地面土壤流失的关系,认为研究区域近几十年以来的地面水土流失相当轻微,地面土壤流失速率仅为10余t·km-2·a-1。     

兰州市典型湿地沉积物中正构烷烃的来源分析

采用GC-MS联用系统对三个兰州市典型湿地的沉积物生物标志物——正构烷烃的组成进行了测定,分析了湿地沉积物中正构烷烃组成特征并探讨了其指示的污染源信息。研究结果表明,兰州市湿地沉积物中正构烷烃主要存在高碳数组分奇偶优势显著的单峰型和低碳、高碳组分都有奇偶优势的双峰型两种分布形式;CPI指数分析表明兰州市湿地沉积物中正构烷烃贡献的高碳数部分来源于湿地周围的高等陆生植物,而低碳数部分来源于化石燃料残余。此外,研究发现采石场湿地和银滩湿地公园污染源效应较统一,而雁滩公园污染源受频繁人为活动影响而显示出明显的多元性。

闽江福州段与城市内河表层沉积物重金属污染特征研究

为了探讨城市内河对闽江福州段重金属污染的影响特征,本文对闽江福州段和福州城市主要内河表层沉积物中的Cr、Ni、Cu、Zn、As和Pb 6种重金属元素进行了系统的分析,并采用地累积指数法和潜在生态风险评价法进行污染情况和潜在危险评估.研究结果表明,表层沉积物中重金属Cr、Ni、Cu、Zn、As和Pb含量范围分别为:5.55~131.35、0.74~138.82、2.45~95.84、24.24~609.72、2.82~95.90、13.91~108.45mg·kg~(-1),各重金属含量平均值明显高于福建省土壤环境背景值,但低于国家土壤环境质量Ⅱ类标准值(除As略高于Ⅱ类标准).地累积指数法评价结果表明,表层沉积物中重金属大多为无污染或中污染程度,受人类活动影响强烈.潜在生态风险评价法表明,表层沉积物中重金属Cr、Ni、Cu、Pb和Zn存在轻微潜在风险,As以中等潜在风险为主,总体存在轻微潜在风险.重金属污染物的空间分布与福州市的发展格局相适应,人类活动集中的老城区和工业密集区,是闽江与内河重金属污染物含量相对较高的区域.城市内河汇入闽江后,携带的大量重金属污染物加剧了闽江重金属污染.建议加强对闽江重金属含量较高的晋安河段、光明港段-磨溪河段的污水排放监控.
