Indoor air particles in research vessel from Shanghai to Antarctic: Characteristics, influencing factors, and potential controlling pathway

Despite millions of seafarers and passengers staying on ships each year, few studies have been conducted on the indoor air quality inside ship hulls. In this study, we investigated the levels and size distribution of indoor particulate matter during two cruises of the research vessel “Xuelong” from Shanghai to Antarctica. The results showed that the particle size less than 2.5 µm (PM_2.5), and particle size less than 10 µm (PM₁₀) concentrations in different rooms of the ship widely varied. We observed high particulate matter (PM) levels in some of the rooms. The mass concentration distribution was dominated by 1–4 µm particles, which may have been caused by the hygroscopic growth of fine particles. The dominant factors influencing PM concentrations were indoor temperature, relative humidity, and human activity. We quantified contributions of these factors to the levels of indoor particles using a generalized additive model. In clean rooms, the levels of indoor particles were controlled by temperature and relative humidity, whereas in polluted rooms, the levels of indoor particles were mainly influenced by temperature and human activity, which implied that controlling temperature and human activity would efficiently reduce the levels of indoor particles.     

Pathway of the ozonation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in aqueous solution

The reaction mechanism and pathway of the ozonation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) in aqueous solution were investigated. The removal efficiency and the variation of H₂O₂, Cl⁻ formic acid, and oxalic acid were studied during the semi-batch ozonation experiments (continuous for ozone gas supply, fixed volume of water sample). The results showed that when there was no scavenger, the removal efficiency of 0.1 mmol/L 2,4,6-TCP could reach 99% within 6 min by adding 24 mg/L ozone. The reaction of molecular ozone with 2,4,6-TCP resulted in the formation of H₂O₂. The maximal concentration of H₂O₂ detected during the ozonation could reach 22.5% of the original concentration of 2,4,6-TCP. The reaction of ozone with H₂O₂ resulted in the generation of a lot of OH• radicals. Therefore, 2,4,6-TCP was degraded to formic acid and oxalic acid by ozone and OH• radicals together. With the inhibition of OH• radicals, ozone molecule firstly degraded 2,4,6-TCP to form chlorinated quinone, which was subsequently oxidized to formic acid and oxalic acid. Two reaction pathways of the degradation of 2,4,6-TCP by ozone and O₃/OH• were proposed in this study. Translated from Acta Scientiae Circumstantiae, 2005, 25(12): 1619–1623 [译自: 环境科学学报]

Human risk assessment of As,Cd, Cu and Zn in the abandoned metal mine site

The cancer risk and the non-cancer hazard index for inhabitants exposed to As, Cd, Cu and Zn in the soils and stream waters of the abandoned Songcheon Au–Ag mine area were evaluated. Mean concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in agricultural soils were 230, 2.5, 120, 160, and 164 mg kg⁻¹, respectively. Mean concentrations of As, Cd and Zn of the water in the stream where drinking water was drawn was 246 μg L⁻¹, 161 μg L⁻¹ and 3899 μg L⁻¹, respectively. These levels are significantly higher than the permissible levels for drinking water quality recommended by Korea and WHO. The resulting human health risks to farmers who inhabited the surrounding areas due to drinking water were summarized as follows: (1) the non-cancer health hazard indices showed that the toxic risk due to As and Cd in drinking water were 10 and 4 times, respectively, greater than those induced by the safe average daily dosages of the respective chemicals. (2) the cancer risk of As for exposed individuals through the drinking water pathway was 5 in 1000, exceeded the acceptable risk of 1 in 10,000 set for regulatory purposes.     

产氢发酵新菌Ethanoligenens sp.B49对铁的依赖性及产氢途径初探

采用典型产氢途径的丁酸梭菌和阴沟肠杆菌作为对比菌株,铁元素作为限制性因子,研究Ethanoligenens sp.B49的产氢代谢过程对铁的依赖性以及产氢机制.铁限制性培养结果表明,与完全培养条件相比,在铁浓度限制在2 mg·L-1条件下B49仍保持很好的生长状态和产氢性能,其产氢不受铁元素不足的影响,即其产氢行为不具有铁依赖性;这一性质与梭菌型产氢途径的丁酸梭菌表现出相似的规律,完全区别于阴沟肠杆菌铁依赖型的产氢机制.初步判断高效产氢菌B49的产氢代谢途径类似于梭菌型产氢途径.

从农田土壤中分离得到1株嗪草酮高效降解菌株,命名为MA,该菌5 d对50 mg·L^-1嗪草酮的降解率达到74.8%,最适反应温度和pH分别为30℃和7.0.根据表型与生理生化特征及16S rRNA序列分析,将其鉴定为Rhodococcus sp.MA.利用气相色谱-质谱联用（GC-MS）鉴定菌株MA降解嗪草酮的中间产物为脱氨基嗪草酮.以海藻酸钠为包埋剂,经正交试验表明,3%海藻酸钠、2% CaCl₂、包埋比8：1和固定时间6 h条件下,菌株对嗪草酮的降解效率最高,为71.2%.将固定化菌体细胞用于修复实验,结果表明,未固定化处理的菌液对湖水及池塘水中嗪草酮（15 mg·L^-1）的去除率分别为72.1%和69.9%;固定化处理后可提高对嗪草酮的去除率,分别达到87.3%和82.6%,具有良好的应用前景.     

紫外高级氧化工艺降解水溶液中的人工甜味剂

人工甜味剂（ASs）作为一类新兴污染物在世界范围内的各种水体中被广泛检出,本文选取具有代表性的糖精（SAC）作为研究对象,探讨了紫外/过氧化氢（UV/H₂O₂）和UV/过硫酸盐（PS）两种高级氧化工艺（AOPs）降解SAC的动力学、影响因素、矿化率、转化产物和降解机制.结果表明：单独的UV、PS和H₂O₂对SAC的去除效果有限（去除率<5%）,UV/H₂O₂和UV/PS工艺对SAC的去除效果良好（去除率>99%）且降解符合伪一阶动力学,速率分别为0.38 min^-1和0.09 min^-1.降低溶液pH值、增大PS浓度均可促进SAC降解;但随着H₂O₂浓度的升高,SAC降解效率先增加后减小.相比UV/PS工艺,UV/H₂O₂工艺降解SAC的矿化率更高（可达43%）.产物鉴定结果表明,两种UV-AOPs氧化降解SAC均会生成开环产物,表明反应会破坏SAC分子中的N—S结构.此外,UV/H₂O₂工艺更易生成羟基化产物,二聚体产物仅在UV/PS工艺中被检测到.     

2014~2017年北京城区霾污染态势及潜在来源

统计分析2014~2017年北京城区霾污染发生情况,利用HYSPLIT模式对4年内气流来向进行聚类计算,识别区域内的主要污染传输通道和潜在污染源区分布及变化.结果显示,研究期间北京市城区空气质量状况整体呈改善趋势,灰霾时发生率从2014年的50.6%降至2017年33.7%,灰霾日数由165d降至78d,每年10月到次年采暖结束的3月灰霾发生较为集中.不同强度霾发生频率逐年下降,秋、冬季灰霾发生频率及污染强度均逐步降低.冀东南平原区、太行山东麓以及燕山南麓沿线为京津冀地区的3条主要污染传输通道,传输高度均在近地1000m内,期间通道轨迹对应北京城区PM_2.5平均达124.1μg/m³,其出现频率在2014~2017年逐年减小,并且各年当中同类轨迹所对应的北京PM_2.5均呈逐年下降趋势.北京城区PM_2.5的主要潜在源区从华北平原和渤海天津港区域逐渐缩小至冀中南和鲁西北地区,且传输通道区域污染贡献率逐年降低,有利的天气形势和人为的区域减排是近年空气质量改善的2大主因.
