西安市街道灰尘磁化率特征及其污染指示意义

以磁学参数作为环境重金属污染的一项指标,对西安市街道灰尘进行了系统的采样和测定.结果显示,磁化率可以反映西安市的整体污染水平.街道灰尘磁化率值较高、频率磁化率较低,二者呈显著负相关,表明街道灰尘磁性增强源于人类活动影响.磁化率随温度变化曲线表明,受电厂影响的样品主要含磁铁矿,而污染源较复杂的样品则含有磁赤铁矿、赤铁矿以及少量铁单质.磁化率与交通污染导致的Pb、Ba等元素及冶金行业带来的Cu、Cr等元素间有较好的相关性,表明西安市主要污染物来自交通污染及冶金行业排放.在局部范围内,磁化率与元素的相关性随元素种类的不同而具有明显的差异,表明不同区域内导致磁化率升高的人为活动存在差异.

Influence of industry on the geochemical urban environment of Mieres (Spain) and associated health risk

This study is concerned with the elemental composition of soils and street dust collected in an historical industrial city of approximately 27 000 inhabitants, where old Hg mining and metallurgical activities strongly affected the load of heavy metals in the urban environment. For the purpose of the study, representative samples of soils and street dust were collected at different locations in the whole urban area (3 km²). Elevated mean concentrations of As in soils and street dust (69 and 135 g g^–1, respectively), and Hg (3.07 and 4.24 g g^–1, respectively), compared to background levels and to those found in other cities, reflect the anomalous geochemical nature of these materials and the strong influence exerted by the old mining sites.     

深街道峡谷内高架桥对污染物传播特性影响的模拟研究

城市化进程导致在城市中出现通风条件较差的深街谷,建设于深街谷内的高架桥会加重周边街谷内空气污染.用计算流体力学模拟方法（CFD）探索在不同环境风速下的深街谷中,高架桥的高度和宽度对街谷内气流组织与污染物扩散的影响.结果表明:高架宽度小于0.8倍街谷宽度时的高架桥不会抑制桥下空间的流动;桥宽增加会改变桥下空间的涡旋结构和涡旋方向,近地面流动方向由之前的从右至左流动变为从左至右流动,因而桥下空间污染分布也发生明显改变;高架桥宽度的增加导致两侧低层住户受到较大影响,对背风面住户的影响更为明显;但高架宽度为0.5倍街谷宽度的高架桥能对迎风面中层住户造成影响;增加高架桥的高度,其下方污染物浓度增加;当高架桥位于街谷冠层时,下部空间的污染物浓度急剧增加;冠层处及涡旋交界面高架桥对两侧住户产生较大影响,而其他高度高架桥对两侧住户影响不大;随着环境风速的增加,高架桥对近地面源污染物扩散的阻碍作用逐渐减弱.研究显示,深街谷中增加高架桥的宽度、高度都会导致街谷内空气质量的恶化,而高架桥会阻碍因环境风速增加对街谷内空气质量的改善.      

昆明市街道灰尘粒度特征及其环境意义

对昆明市2008年1、3、4、5、7和9月份6次采集的街道灰尘样品进行了粒度分析。结果表明：昆明市街道灰尘粒度主要呈三峰特征，第一众数为65～125 μm，第二众数为3～15 μm，第三众数为0.15～0.3 μm，平均粒径范围在39.91～255.85 μm，平均值为87.1 μm，旱季（90.6 μm）大于雨季（83.7 μm）；粒度分布以正偏度为主，峰态为中等到偏窄且不对称，分选很差；与现代粉尘源区尘暴降尘的粒度分布模式高度相似，街道灰尘沉积是大气环流对远近不同距离粗细颗粒物的混合搬运的结果，应是风积作用的继续；灰尘细粒含量较高，≤100 μm的颗粒平均为635%，在适当的大气动力条件下，昆明市街道灰尘颗粒有60%～90%可以进入大气；灰尘主要来源于土壤风沙尘、建筑尘、工业烟尘和汽车尾气排放，灰尘中可吸入颗粒平均占25.2%，潜在危害性大。     

A Street Categorization Method to Study Urban Noise: The Valladolid (Spain) Study

Abstract We describe the application of a categorization method for road traffic noise (TN) evaluation. The method assumes that urban noise is stratified according to a five-category classification of streets based only on their use as communication routes. The method has previously been shown to be valid for towns under 220,000 inhabitants, and in the present case is applied to study the urban noise in Valladolid (Spain), a town with a population of nearly 320,000 inhabitants. Novel mathematical tools in this field are used to analyze the method. We demonstrate the existence of a stratification of the streets sound levels. Thus, the categories defined seem to be quite adequate for towns of this size range. Moreover, noise level predictive capacity of the method was also analyzed, and an overall value for the predictive capacity of 80% was obtained. Thus, our method can be a simple, low-cost strategy to make a statistical evaluation of the TN in a city.     

Hybridization,agency discretion,and implementation of the U.S. Endangered Species Act

The U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires that the “best available scientific and commercial data” be used to protect imperiled species from extinction and preserve biodiversity. However, it does not provide specific guidance on how to apply this mandate. Scientific data can be uncertain and controversial, particularly regarding species delineation and hybridization issues. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) had an evolving hybrid policy to guide protection decisions for individuals of hybrid origin. Currently, this policy is in limbo because it resulted in several controversial conservation decisions in the past. Biologists from FWS must interpret and apply the best available science to their recommendations and likely use considerable discretion in making recommendations for what species to list, how to define those species, and how to recover them. We used semistructured interviews to collect data on FWS biologists’ use of discretion to make recommendations for listed species with hybridization issues. These biologists had a large amount of discretion to determine the best available science and how to interpret it but generally deferred to the scientific consensus on the taxonomic status of an organism. Respondents viewed hybridization primarily as a problem in the context of the ESA, although biologists who had experience with hybridization issues were more likely to describe it in more nuanced terms. Many interviewees expressed a desire to continue the current case‐by‐case approach for handling hybridization issues, but some wanted more guidance on procedures (i.e., a “flexible” hybrid policy). Field‐level information can provide critical insight into which policies are working (or not working) and why. The FWS biologists’ we interviewed had a high level of discretion, which greatly influenced ESA implementation, particularly in the context of hybridization.
