机动车源和民用燃料源颗粒物中有机碳和元素碳的排放特征

为了获取机动车源尾气和主要民用燃料源燃烧过程排放的颗粒物中含碳气溶胶的排放特征,使用多功能便携式稀释通道采样器和Model 5L-NDIR型OC/EC分析仪,采集分析了典型机动车源(汽油车、轻柴油车、重柴油车)、民用煤(块煤和型煤)和生物质燃料(麦秆、木板、葡萄树树枝)的PM₁₀和PM_2.5样品中的有机碳(OC)和元素碳(EC).结果表明,不同排放源释放的PM₁₀和PM_2.5中含碳气溶胶的质量分数存在显著差异.总碳(TC)在不同源PM₁₀和PM_2.5中的质量分数范围分别为40.8%～68.5%和30.5%～70.9%,OC/EC范围分别为1.49～31.56和1.90～87.57.不同源产生的含碳气溶胶均以OC为主,OC在PM₁₀和PM_2.5中的质量分数范围分别为56.3%～97.0%和65.0%～98.7%.在PM₁₀和PM_2.5的含碳气溶胶中OC质量分数按照从高到低...

京津冀区域PM2.5中碳组分污染特征研究

为了解京津冀区域PM_(2.5)中碳组分污染特征,于2015年7月和10月及2016年1月和4月在北京、天津、保定、石家庄、沧州5个城市同步采集PM_(2.5)样品,采用热/光分析法分析样品中有机碳(OC)和元素碳(EC),使用OC/EC最小比值法估算二次有机碳(SOC).结果表明:京津冀区域主要城市OC、EC和SOC的年均浓度分别为12.9~28.5、4.1~7.9和3.3~10.4μg·m~(-3),OC/EC和SOC/OC的比值分别为2.4~3.0和0.26~0.32.OC和EC的浓度呈现保定石家庄沧州天津北京的空间分布特点和夏季春季秋季冬季的季节变化特点.OC/EC的比值及OC和EC的相关性在夏季最低,冬季最高,这可能与京津冀区域冬季采暖燃煤有关,冬季不利的气象条件也加剧了碳质气溶胶污染.冬季较高的SOC浓度主要与低温、气态前体物的增加以及频繁出现的逆温、小风和混合层高度降低等不利气象条件有关.京津冀区域碳质气溶胶的污染特征具有空间相似性.     

Hg(Ⅱ)和Pb(Ⅱ)对海洋单细胞藻的急性毒性效应

近年来,海洋重金属污染日益严重,为考察重金属对海洋藻类的生物毒性效应,进而评估其对海洋生态环境的影响,本研究采用一次性培养的实验方法,测定了2种重金属Hg(Ⅱ)和Pb(Ⅱ)对8种海洋单细胞藻的急性毒性效应,包括赤潮异弯藻(Heterosigma akashiwo Hada)、旋链角毛藻(Chaetoceros curv...     

不同pH值下有机酸碱对发光菌的急性毒性

测定了33种有机酸碱化合物在不同pHT(5．0、7．0、9．0)对发光菌的急性毒性(半数发光抑制浓度，15min-EC50。)。结果表明，胺类化合物对发光菌的毒性随pH的升高而增大；酚类和苯甲酸类的毒性随pH的升高而减小，这与不同pH下有机酸碱的电离程度有关。有机酸碱的生物毒性主要是由分子态引起，但离子态作用不可忽略。相同pH下，有机酸碱的生物毒性随取代基团的种类、个数及取代位置而不同。并在此基础上初步探讨了有机酸碱的毒性机制。     

Primary and secondary components of PM2.5 in Milan (Italy)

In sampling campaigns--carried out by means of a high-volume gravimetric sampler--performed between August 2002 and December 2003, 24-h PM2.5 samples have been collected at an urban background site in downtown Milan and analyzed for elemental and organic carbon, ionic species (i.e., chloride, nitrates, sulfates and ammonium) and some elemental species. Chemical speciation data are evaluated also in terms of primary and secondary components of fine particulate matter: in particular, the contribution of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) and of the primary contribution from traffic to observed PM2.5 concentration levels are evaluated by means of the EC tracer method.     

APEC期间京津冀及周边地区PM2.5中碳组分变化特征及来源

在APEC会议期间和会期之后,分别采集北京、天津、石家庄、保定、济南5个采样点的PM2.5样品,通过分析碳组分的变化特征,研究京津冀地区污染物减排的影响以及减排后各指标的变化特征,分析大气颗粒物中碳气溶胶的可能来源。采用重量法测定组分中PM2.5的含量,利用热/光碳分析仪测定组分中OC、EC的含量,结果表明,由于采取了污染源减排措施,会议期间PM2.5、OC、EC的质量浓度均低于会期之后;会议期间和会期之后OC与EC均表现出了较好的相关性,r2为0.789~0.983,说明OC与EC的排放源基本相同;会议期间OC/EC为3.11~3.62,表明含碳气溶胶的来源主要是机动车排放,同时也存在一定的燃煤排放,会期之后为3.08~6.10,表明燃煤的排放在碳气溶胶中的比重明显增加,另外OC/EC也表明APEC会议期间和会期之后二次有机碳在各采样点均普遍存在。     

Towards the harmonization of water-related policies for managing drought risks across the EU

Drought is recognized as a major issue in the EU, particularly in the Mediterranean region, posing risks to the environment as well as to local and regional economies. The EU policy on water management is continuously evolving, particularly in relation to water scarcity and drought. Starting with the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), which sets the general policy framework for water management across the EU, the EC Communication on Water Scarcity and Drought COM(2007) 414 final set the priorities for managing water scarcity and drought risks. Three follow-up reports (COM(2008) 875 final, COM(2010) 228 final and COM(2011) 133) highlighted achievements and yearly progress within the context of the implementation of the Water Framework Directive, whereas guidance has further been provided through the issue of Technical Reports (e.g. the EC Water Scarcity Drafting Group Technical Report 2008–023 on Drought Management, Including agricultural, drought indicators and climate change aspects). The 2012 EU Water Review (“Blue Print for Safeguarding European Waters” will assess achievements and identify further requirements towards long-term sustainable water use across the EU. However, a harmonized approach on drought risk management at the EU level is still lacking, whereas drought risk in several countries and regions has not been yet fully integrated in water management and relevant sectoral policies.This paper focuses on a proposed paradigm shift from crisis to risk management, which is currently gaining ground as a means of reducing societal vulnerability to droughts. The paper underlines the importance of engaging into risk assessment and management practices and identifies policy gaps and requirements for further improvement of the drought management policy framework at all levels of governance: at the EU, at the national and at the river basin and regional levels.     

Parameters affecting the stability of the digestate from a two-stage anaerobic process treating the organic fraction of municipal solid waste

This paper focused on the factors affecting the respiration rate of the digestate taken from a continuous anaerobic two-stage process treating the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). The process involved a hydrolytic reactor (HR) that produced a leachate fed to a submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAMBR). It was found that a volatile solids (VS) removal in the range 40-75% and an operating temperature in the HR between 21 and 35 °C resulted in digestates with similar respiration rates, with all digestates requiring 17 days of aeration before satisfying the British Standard Institution stability threshold of 16 mg CO₂ g VS⁻¹ day⁻¹. Sanitization of the digestate at 65 °C for 7 days allowed a mature digestate to be obtained. At 4 g VS L⁻¹ d⁻¹ and Solid Retention Times (SRT) greater than 70 days, all the digestates emitted CO₂ at a rate lower than 25 mg CO₂ g VS⁻¹ d⁻¹ after 3 days of aeration, while at SRT lower than 20 days all the digestates displayed a respiration rate greater than 25 mg CO₂ g VS⁻¹ d⁻¹. The compliance criteria for Class I digestate set by the European Commission (EC) and British Standard Institution (BSI) could not be met because of nickel and chromium contamination, which was probably due to attrition of the stainless steel stirrer in the HR.
