The dissipation of nonlyphenol in stream and pond water under simulated field conditions

Abstract

The dissipation of 1.0 ppm nonylphenol in stream and pond water, incubated in flasks at 16°C under simulated field conditions up to 44 days indicated that the half‐life was 2.5 days if the flasks were open, and 16 days if they were closed. A transformed product was detected in the closed flasks.

Translocation of nonylphenol in water occurred when treated water samples were incubated in the presence of sediment. After 10 days, nonylphenol was detected only in the sediment, but not in water (detection limit = 10 ppb). About 80% of the nonylphenol was degraded in 71 days, but no degradation occurred if the water and the sediment were autoclaved prior to incubation.     

Translocation of aged cyclodiene insecticide residues from soil into forage crops and pastures at various growth stages under field conditions

Abstract

Field trials were conducted to measure translocation of pesticides by summer and winter forage/pasture species from soil containing aged residues of heptachlor and, to a lesser extent, dieldrin. Substantial amounts of heptachlor epoxide, and lesser amounts of y‐chlordane were translocated to plants from contaminated soil. Residue levels varied with crop species and stage of plant development. In summer crops residues were higher in soybean> cowpeas>lab‐lab>Sorghum>millet>sweet saccaline at the grazing and mature stages.

Compared to glasshouse studies undertaken previously, residues in crops grown under field conditions were much lower, this apparently reflects the lower soil moisture levels and the reduced rates of translocation.

Heptachlor residues in winter crops were highest in Saia oats > Berseem clover > Haifa clover > Cassia oats > Tetila ryegrass > Schooner barley > Shaftal clover > Hunter river lucerne at the grazing stage. There were no detectable levels in barley and oats at the mature stage. No dieldrin residues were translocated into the various crop species.     

辐射热流作用下树叶样品的燃烧特征研究

研究植物叶样在外部热辐射和值班火源作用下的燃烧现象特征并探索其成因和物理及化学本质。采用锥形量热仪开展实验,热辐射强度分别设定为35kW m-2、55kW m-2、70kW m-2和85kW m-2。实验样品为针阔叶树种共13种,其含水率在45%至79%间变化。实验表明,样品表现出不同的着火模式,有的为明火,有的则为阴燃,取决于树种和设定的辐射强度。样品出现有焰燃烧现象的最低热释放速率峰值(PHRR)在22.3kW m-2至35.6kW m-2之间,反映了形成气相火焰所需最低挥发分质量流率。气相产物CO2产生速率的峰值与PHRR呈高度线性性,表明了不同样品间气相燃烧或固相表面氧化(阴燃燃烧)反应的相似性。进一步分析表明,出现的独特热释放速率尖锐峰形是样品分层特性以及树叶的物理属性和热物性共同作用的结果。具有热薄特性的样品表层,在实验初期是接受外部辐射热的主体,其热解的产物是形成气相火焰的物质来源;在其转变为焦炭层后,对辐射热流向内层的渗透具有阻挡作用。建立起来的认识对于评估分层样品的燃烧性有一定的指导意义。

Concerns, dispositions and behaviors of aggressive drivers: what do self-identified aggressive drivers believe about traffic safety?

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this investigation was to identify beliefs, driving personality dispositions, and behaviors that distinguish self-defined aggressive drivers from non-aggressive drivers. METHOD: Telephone surveys were used to identify self-reported aggressive drivers (n=305) who were compared to non-aggressive drivers (n=1,715) concerning their beliefs, driving behaviors, and self-described driving dispositions. RESULTS: Aggressive drivers, compared to non-aggressive drivers, were less concerned about speeding, aggressive driving, and cell phone use while driving, yet were more likely to have had an encounter with another aggressive driver. They were also more likely to report that they had driven when they knew they had too much to drink, yet they felt less likely that they would be stopped by the police. CONCLUSION: Aggressive drivers display many dispositions that define them as high risk drivers and public information/motivational campaigns alone will likely be ineffective with this group of drivers. Strategies that combine visible enforcement with widespread publicity campaigns appear to be necessary.

Challenges and Opportunities in Implementing Managed Relocation for Conservation of Freshwater Species

Abstract: The rapidity of climate change is predicted to exceed the ability of many species to adapt or to disperse to more climatically favorable surroundings. Conservation of these species may require managed relocation (also called assisted migration or assisted colonization) of individuals to locations where the probability of their future persistence may be higher. The history of non‐native species throughout the world suggests managed relocation may not be applicable universally. Given the constrained existence of freshwater organisms within highly dendritic networks containing isolated ponds, lakes, and rivers, managed relocation may represent a useful conservation strategy. Yet, these same distinctive properties of freshwater ecosystems may increase the probability of unintended ecological consequences. We explored whether managed relocation is an ecologically sound conservation strategy for freshwater systems and provided guidelines for identifying candidates and localities for managed relocation. A comparison of ecological and life‐history traits of freshwater animals associated with high probabilities of extirpation and invasion suggests that it is possible to select species for managed relocation to minimize the likelihood of unintended effects to recipient ecosystems. We recommend that translocations occur within the species’ historical range and optimally within the same major river basin and that lacustrine and riverine species be translocated to physically isolated seepage lakes and upstream of natural or artificial barriers, respectively, to lower the risk of secondary spread across the landscape. We provide five core recommendations to enhance the scientific basis of guidelines for managed relocation in freshwater environments: adopt the term managed translocation to reflect the fact that individuals will not always be reintroduced within their historical native range; examine the trade‐off between facilitation of individual movement and the probability of range expansion of non‐native species; determine which species and locations might be immediately considered for managed translocation; adopt a hypothetico‐deductive framework by conducting experimental trials to introduce species of conservation concern into new areas within their historical range; build on previous research associated with species reintroductions through communication and synthesis of case studies.     

上海地区住宅儿童卧室内甲醛和苯系物浓度的现场检测分析

2013年3月~2014年12月对上海地区454户装修时间超过1 a的住宅内的儿童卧室室内甲醛和苯系物进行了现场监测.不同儿童卧室室内甲醛和苯系物浓度存在较大差异.冬季卧室室内甲醛浓度明显高于其他季节(P0.001),但苯系物浓度无明显的季节差异.春季使用不同内墙墙面装饰材料的卧室苯系物浓度均值存在明显差异;夏季使用不同地板装饰材料的卧室苯系物浓度均值也存在显著差异(P0.01).秋季室内盆景数量为5个的卧室甲醛浓度均值明显高于其他卧室.冬季经常使用加湿器和家中饲养宠物的儿童卧室室内苯系物浓度均值显著高于其他儿童卧室(P0.05).结果表明,装修较长时间后,装修材料的类型仍然与室内苯系物浓度存在一定的关系;但相对于装修材料,室内通风可能对室内甲醛浓度影响更大.室内苯系物浓度可能与室内湿度和室内宠物的饲养有关.家用空气净化器可能可以有效降低室内甲醛的暴露水平.植物盆栽净化装修时间较长的住宅室内甲醛和苯系物的效果可能有限.
