双酚A在河口水中的光解动力学

为研究双酚A（BPA）在河口水中的光解动力学及水中重要溶解性组分对其光解的影响,在广西钦州大榄江连接茅尾海的河口水域采取水样,通过模拟日光实验研究了河口水中BPA的光解动力学,及河口水中的重要溶解性组分Cl^-,Br^-,溶解性有机质（DOM）,NO₃^-和HCO₃^-对BPA光解的影响.结果表明,河口水中BPA的光解速率常数k值比纯水中大,且上游水样中BPA的k值是下游水样的2.5倍.稳态光解实验表明DOM及其与卤素离子作用显著影响BPA的光解,虽然NO₃^-也影响BPA光解,但与DOM共存时,NO₃^-的影响不明显.自由基淬灭和竞争反应动力学实验发现激发三重态DOM（³DOM^*）和卤素自由基（HRS）是决定河口水样中BPA光降解的主要活性物种,且³DOM^*与BPA的反应活性（二级反应速率常数k_3DOM*,BPA=4.42×10⁸L/（mol·s）要高于HRS与BPA的反应活性（k_BPA,Cl·=2.11×10⁸L/（mol·s）,k_BPA,Cl2·-=8.5×10⁶L/（mol·s）.下游水样中高含量的卤素离子（292mmol/L）易淬灭³DOM^*产生反应活性较低的HRS,致使下游水体中BPA的光解速率低于上游水体.     

土壤起尘悬浮颗粒物中铅赋存特性模拟

为了探索土壤起尘后悬浮颗粒物对铅的携带特性与其矿物组成、粒径尺寸之间的关联,揭示土壤起尘矿物特性及其重金属污染赋存行为,并为雾霾矿物基源特性分析及后期治理提供理论参考.通过对土壤样品进行铅污染预处理,在实验室系统内模拟风速条件下进行起尘试验,利用悬浮颗粒采样仪对经过风吹起尘后的悬浮颗粒物（TSP）、吹前表层土、吹后表层土、吹后地表土及不同粒径悬浮颗粒物进行了收集,并对悬浮颗粒物、吹前表层土、吹后表层土、吹后地表土及不同粒径悬浮颗粒物中铅的赋存状态及矿物组成与含量进行了分析.结果表明:①土壤经过风吹起尘后,悬浮颗粒物中w（Pb）为2.584 mg/g,吹前表层土中w（Pb）为0.916 mg/g,悬浮颗粒物中w（Pb）约是吹前表层土中w（Pb）的3倍;②不同粒径悬浮颗粒物上的w（Pb）各不相同,＞10.2 μm的粒径中w（Pb）为1.716 mg/g;＞4.2~10.2 μm的粒径中w（Pb）为2.720 mg/g＞2.1~4.2 μm的粒径中w（Pb）为3.937 mg/g＞1.4~2.1 μm的粒径中w（Pb）为5.442 mg/g,w（Pb）随着粒径的增加而减小;③随着悬浮颗粒物粒径的减小,黏土矿物（伊利石+绿泥石）的含量在不断的增加.研究显示,土壤起尘过程是对Pb的一种高于本底浓度的迁移过程;起尘颗粒物中w（Pb）随着悬浮颗粒物的粒径的减小而增加,呈负相关;w（Pb）与黏土矿物（伊利石+绿泥石）含量在不同粒径悬浮颗粒物上的变化规律具有一致性,呈正相关,黏土矿物（伊利石+绿泥石）对Pb具有较好的吸附性.      

两种典型污染时段鹤山市大气细颗粒污染特征及来源

PM_2.5和O₃浓度超标是我国大气污染的主要特征,研究两种典型污染时段的细颗粒化学组成、混合状态和来源对治理大气污染具有重要意义.2016年11月10—20日广东省鹤山市先后出现了PM_2.5和O₃超标的污染事件.污染期间,采用SPAMS（单颗粒气溶胶质谱仪）对细颗粒进行实时采样分析,共采集到有正负化学组成信息的颗粒422 944个,占总颗粒数的19.2%.基于单颗粒质谱数据特征,使用自适应共振神经元网络算法（ART-2a）,对单颗粒数据进行自适应分类.颗粒物划分为OC（有机碳）、EC（元素碳）、ECOC（元素-有机碳混合）、HOC（高分子有机碳）、Pb-rich（富铅）、Si-rich（富硅）、LEV（左旋葡聚糖）、K-Secondary（钾二次）、Na-rich（海盐）和HM（重金属）颗粒共10类.结果表明:两个PM_2.5污染时段EC颗粒和K-Secondary颗粒的占比高,EC颗粒分别占46.5%和61.1%,K-Secondary颗粒分别占14.3%和10.3%;O₃污染时段EC颗粒占比（39.4%）最高,其次是OC颗粒占比17.0%;两种污染时段OC组分与HSO₄-和NO₃-的混合程度都有明显的上升,说明污染有利于有机气溶胶的老化.由源解析结果可知,PM_2.5污染时段,细颗粒主要来源于燃煤、机动车尾气和扬尘,而O₃污染时段细颗粒主要来源于燃煤、生物质燃烧和扬尘;此外,两种污染时段燃煤源对细颗粒的贡献都有较大提升.研究显示,控制燃煤源的排放对污染物的降低有着重要影响.      

The algal community as an indicator of the trophic status of Lake Patzcuaro, Mexico

An evaluation of water quality and phytoplankton composition position was carried out in order to determine the trophic conditions of Lake Patzcuaro (2035 m above sea level), a high altitude tropical lake. Temperatures ranged from 15 to 23 degrees C. Total phosphorus and inorganic nitrogen showed a seasonal variation; highest values coincided with the rainy season (0.48 and 2.1 mg litre(-1), respectively). Dissolved oxygen ranged from 2 to 7.9 mg litre(-1) at the surface and from 0.6 to 7.3 mg litre(-1) on the bottom, the lowest values being found in shallow zones. Average transparency varied from 0.62 to 1.4 m Secchi depth. Rainfall was a primary factor in seasonal variability as it influenced both physical and biological conditions by contributing to the transport and deposition of silt, which mixed with sinking algal cells. The composition of the surface phytoplankton segregated along five major divisions comprising a total of 49 species. General seasonal patterns of dominance alternated in a sequence beginning with Bacillariophyta, through Chlorophyta to Cyanophyta. Diatoms, the dominant group from February to early June, included Melosira granulata, Stephanodiscus sp., Synedra sp. and Fragilaria sp. During the rainy season (late June to September), Microcystis aeruginosa, Oscillatoria sp., Anabaena sp., Merismopedia sp., Crucigenia cuadrata, Oocystis lacustris, Selenastrum gracile, Mallomonas sp. and Tetraediella sp. were important. Melosira granulata was present throughout the period of study. Spatial and temporal variability in both physical and biological conditions make it difficult to assign a specific trophic state to Lake Patzcuaro. Nevertheless, analysis of the algal community indicates a generally mesotrophic condition.     

Implementation and Participation in China's Local Environmental Politics: Challenges and Innovations

With its recently published 12th Five-Year Plan (FYP, 2011–2015) China's leaders have set ambitious national environmental targets and goals for developing a more sustainable economy and society. Past records, however, show that ambitious goals and regulations too often fail due to shortcomings in local implementation and civil society participation. At the sub-national level, economic, political, and social interests continue to dictate the political agenda and the participation of non-state actors remains limited. This article analyses these implementation and participation gaps and reviews recent innovations and experiments to address these gaps in local environmental politics in China. Although many ongoing experiments and new institutional arrangements can be identified, these projects and initiatives remain limited in scope and geographical spread. Further advances in policy enforcement and in opening up policy design to citizens and other non-state actors at the local level are needed in order to turn the article ambitions of the 12th FYP into reality.     

Governing sustainability: examining audits and compliance in a third-party-certified organic shrimp farming project in rural Indonesia

Drawing on a case study of an organic shrimp project in Indonesia, this paper provides a preliminary assessment of the use of third-party certification (TPC) to make shrimp aquaculture more environmentally sustainable in a rural setting in Indonesia. Specifically, I examine three processes of TPC: (1) the development of standards, (2) the communication of standards, and (3) the enforcement of standards. My research indicates that TPC is based on technoscientific norms and values and Western ideas of rationality. Thus, implementing TPC in rural settings in the global South may pose additional difficulties, resulting from cultural and structural differences. Consequently, TPC may not be able to be successfully implemented everywhere in the world, especially in the rural South, in its current form.     

Framing frontier governance through territorial processes in the Brazilian Amazon

The policy intervention to enforce property rights and control deforestation frontiers is often undermined in the Brazilian Amazon, and this intervention problem is considered to be stemming from weak frontier governance. However, little has been understood how this governance can be strengthened in the context of social change. Drawing on a literature review of the Amazon development and sociological studies of space, this article argues that frontier governance is characterised by the co-generation of two territorial processes: the official settlement implementation (physical spacing) and the spontaneous settlers' shaping of the vernacular community (production of place). The co-generation process opens new deliberative space where both state and non-state actors claim authority over the intervention. Therefore, strengthening frontier governance involves empowering this emerging authority to be able to promote public engagement with sustainable development on the frontier. The article uses the regional history and ethnographic material collected in the southeast of Pará to illustrate the discussion.

Scales of integration for sustainable development governance

Efforts at integration are central in the Sustainable Development Goals and the wider Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda. While integration forms a major focus of this agenda, there are fundamental limitations on pursuing this focus. The global governance discussions on integration lack a clear conceptualization of what it is, do not have any tools for measurement or assessment, and are narrowly focused around policy integration between global institutions. This article develops a framework for conceptualizing cross-level and cross-scale integration which addresses these problems and introduces the opportunities and challenges of pursuing different types of integration in global governance. Cross-level integration involves governance efforts which seek to bridge similar institutions with one another (for example, bringing together efforts by environmental ministries and development ministries). Cross-scale integration, in contrast, deals with governance efforts that bring together institutions which have distinct scopes, jurisdictions, and epistemologies. With this important distinction, the article explores the opportunities for cross-scale integration as part of the global sustainable development efforts and particularly expanding the policy integration focus with spatial and temporal integration as well. The conclusion uses the Earth System Governance perspective to focus on the trade-offs that are likely as wider forms of institutional integration are pursued beyond environmental mainstreaming and policy integration.     

Learning from the rubble: the case of Christchurch,New Zealand,after the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes

Learning after a disaster is crucial in creating more resilient places. However, many societies are repeatedly overwhelmed by disasters. This can be because of missed opportunities to learn in post‐disaster settings or because of actions implemented that seem to be highly relevant to recovery in the short term, but potentially constrain aspirations in the longer term. This paper assesses learning processes among state and non‐state actors and the ways in which these are bridged and scaled up to wider improvements in governance. Aiming to enrich understanding of post‐disaster learning, it explores different actors’ response actions after the earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2010 and 2011. On the one hand, ‘learning by doing’ is occurring, yet, on the other hand, systemic learning is hindered by mismatches between top‐down steering and bottom‐up initiatives. The study concludes that better linking and synergising of learning processes among different levels is vital for enhancing resilience in post‐disaster societies.
