聚硫醚纤维素对持久性污染物的吸附特性

棉纤维在碱存在下与环硫氯丙烷发生醚化反应,合成了一种新型环境功能材料--聚硫醚纤维素(PTCC),并研究了PTCC的理化性能及其对持久性污染物的吸附性能.结果显示,PTCC化学性质比其它含硫纤维素衍生物稳定,抗氧化和抗紫外照射能力均优于其它含硫纤维素.暴露于空气中1个月,其含硫量保持不变;室温下,中性水溶液中浸泡5d,其水解百分率小于2%.PTCC对重金属离子和阳离子有机物具有很强的吸附作用,其饱和吸附容量分别为:Hg2+364 mg·g-1、Ag+291 mg·g-1、氯化十六烷基吡啶219 mg·g-1、阳离子红X-GRL 321 mg·g-1、维多利亚艳蓝B0 373mg·g-1.常见的共存离子对于PTCC的吸附容量没有明显的影响.PTCC对污染物的吸附过程符合Langmuir等温吸附方程和二级吸附动力学方程,吸附符合单分子层吸附理论.吸附Hg2+、Ag+后的聚硫醚纤维素用氨水洗脱,再生后可以循环利用.PTCC是一种性能优良的新型环境功能材料,具有很好的应用前景.     

The management of the new and emerging musculoskeletal and psychosocial risks by EU-28 enterprises

Introduction: Although the strategic framework of the European Union in the field of Health and Safety at Work 2014-2020 considers as one of its main challenges to improve the prevention of diseases related to NERs (New and Emerging Risks) (European Commission, 2014) there are still not many studies in the literature related to them. Method: An exploratory study was carried out in order to get a picture of the NERs management in the UE-28 countries. The sample was extracted from the ESENER-2 datasets. ESENER-1 was carried out in 2009 and ESENER- 2 in 2014. This survey explores managers’ and workers representatives’ opinions on health and safety management. It surveyed over 49,000 enterprises in 36 countries. Results: The results obtained confirm that there are significant differences between the EU-28 countries in terms of the identification and the management of NERs. Conclusions NERs are becoming an increasingly studied phenomenon due to the changes that are taking place in the labour market: the percentage of temporary workers is increasing, the demands to the workers due to the globalization of the market are more complex and all this with an aging working force. Pratical A pplications It would be necessary to rethink the management of OHS, so that managers are aware that the combination of musculoskeletal and psychosocial risks should have a global approach in order to reduce accident and disability rates.

沈阳市产业能源结构调整对环境空气质量的影响

在分析“十一五”期间沈阳市产业结构优化升级和能源结构调整情况的基础上,利用沈阳市经济和环境统计数据,通过单位GDP耗能和单位GDP污染物排放量等指标纵向比较,探讨沈阳市产业能源结构调整对环境空气质量的影响。结果表明,通过产业结构调整,装备制造业、服务业和高新技术产业等在总产值中的占比不断提高,在推动经济健康发展的同时,使单位生产总值煤耗持续下降。新型能源发展战略的实施,能源结构出现良性转变,五年间耗煤量相对降低,燃料油、焦炭、洁净燃气占比升高,使工业废气中烟尘、二氧化硫单位产值排放量分别下降12．4t／4L元、12．2t／亿元。经济发展方式的转变,产业能源结构的调整,相对降低废气的排放量,有效促进了沈阳市环境空气质量的改善。

Assessment of Endocrine‐Disrupting Chemicals Attenuation in a Coastal Plain Stream Prior to Wastewater Treatment Plant Closure

The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a combined pre/post‐closure assessment at a long‐term wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) site at Fort Gordon near Augusta, Georgia. Here, we assess select endocrine‐active chemicals and benthic macroinvertebrate community structure prior to closure of the WWTP. Substantial downstream transport and limited instream attenuation of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) was observed in Spirit Creek over a 2.2‐km stream segment downstream of the WWTP outfall. A modest decline (less than 20% in all cases) in surface water detections was observed with increasing distance downstream of the WWTP and attributed to partitioning to the sediment. Estrogens detected in surface water in this study included estrone (E1), 17β‐estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3). The 5 ng/l and higher mean estrogen concentrations observed in downstream locations indicated that the potential for endocrine disruption was substantial. Concentrations of alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE) metabolite EDCs also remained statistically elevated above levels observed at the upstream control site. Wastewater‐derived pharmaceutical and APE metabolites were detected in the outflow of Spirit Lake, indicating the potential for EDC transport to aquatic ecosystems downstream of Fort Gordon. The results indicate substantial EDC occurrence, downstream transport, and persistence under continuous supply conditions and provide a baseline for a rare evaluation of ecosystem response to WWTP closure.

Environmentally significant photochemistry of chlorinated benzenes and their derivatives in aquatic systems†

The pollution of soil and aquatic environments by chlorinated aromatic pollutants (CAPs) such as polychlorobenzenes (PCBzs), polychlorophenols (PCPs), polychloro‐diphenyl ethers (PCDPEs), phenoxyacetic acids, etc., creates growing public anxiety. Phototransformation is an important process for pollutants in aquatic systems. This article extensively reviews the environmentally significant solution phase photochemistry of PCBzs as well as other CAPs derived therefrom. The paper includes photochemical fate of these CAPs at wavelengths >285 nm on the one hand and their photolysis in solution in aquatic systems on the other. In this article, photolytic reductive dechlorination and isomerization of PCBzs are reviewed together with the photoformation of several products including polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) from PCBzs. Recently developed phenomena of photoincorporation of PCBzs into humic model monomers is also described. This review also describes the environmental photochemistry of chlorobenzene derivatives, namely, α‐substituted p‐chlorotoluenes of the general structure p‐ClC₆H₄CH₂‐X (X = H, Cl, CN, COOH and OH), di‐through pentachlorophenols, PCDPEs (having Cl_1–5 contents) with and without o‐OH substituents, and 2,4‐di‐ and 2,4,5‐trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4‐D and 2,4,5‐T, respectively) as well as their esters and some formulations.     

Persistent organochlorine contaminants in human tissues of the Czech and Slovak populations

The persistence of lipophilic organochlorine substances leads to their incorporation into the food chain and subsequent uptake by humans. Due to their use in the past, Czech and Slovak countries belong to the countries with a relatively high body burden of organochlorines. Levels of PCBs in human tissues based on the congener‐specific analysis are reported in this paper. Samples were analysed for the most abundant PCB congeners. Prevalent persistent organochlorine pesticides and their isomers/metabolites have also been included. The present study is focused on following areas: i) distribution of analysed substances in the various human tissue samples from selected regions of the Czech and Slovak Republic and ii) comparison with the results from other foreign and local studies.     

北京官厅水库特征污染物筛查及其健康风险评价

水源水中存在数以万计的污染物,需要根据不同水源污染特征筛查相应的特征污染物,并确定其对人体产生的健康风险。针对官厅水库及其出入库河流的表层水样,采用气相色谱质谱方法,对77种有机污染物进行了目标筛查和定量分析;采用非目标筛查的方法,对1 655种有机污染物进行了定性筛查。定量分析检出43种挥发性有机物(VOCs),浓度为nd～8.17 μg·L^-1;8种羰基化合物,浓度为nd～5.04 μg·L^-1;7种嗅味物质,浓度为nd～1 421.58 ng·L^-1。在检出的58种污染物中,有国家生活饮用水卫生标准(GB5749-2006)的共有23种,有国家地表水环境质量标准(GB3838-2002)的22种,浓度均未超过相关标准。对所检出的污染物进行了危害识别,发现5种嗅味物质浓度均超过了其嗅阈值。对其中有基础毒性数据的17种污染物进行了致癌风险评价,对37种污染物进行了非致癌风险评价。研究表明,17种污染物致癌风险处于10^-6～10^-5水平,而37种污染物的非致癌风险处于10^-2水平,均低于国际认同的风险控制阈值。定性筛查出80种具有潜在健康风险的有机污染物,作为进一步深入研究的目标污染物。据此,2012年调查中官厅水库水中的有机微污染对人体健康的风险总体上处于较低水平。其中,苯系物在官厅水库中普遍存在,六氯丁二烯和巴豆醛是主要的风险特征污染物,2-异丙基-3-甲氧基吡嗪(IPMP)、2-异丁基-3-甲氧基吡嗪(IBMP)和2,4,6-三氯茴香醚(TCA)是主要的致嗅特征污染物。
