Optimizing Agricultural Best Management Practices in a Lake Erie Watershed

Implementing agricultural best management practices (BMPs) is influenced by a balance of desired environmental outcomes, economic feasibility, and stakeholder familiarity, the latter taken to be related to BMP acceptability. To explore this balance, we developed a multi‐objective decision support system for allocating BMP type and placement by coupling the Soil and Water Assessment Tool with a nondominated sorted genetic algorithm that minimizes total phosphorus (TP) yields from agricultural hydrologic response units (HRUs) and costs, while using stakeholder BMP familiarity as a constraint; conventional tillage, no tillage, nutrient management, riparian buffers, and contour cropping were explored. Using constraints representing current conditions, the optimization resulted in 59.6 to 81.0% reduction in agricultural TP yield from HRUs at costs ranging between US $0.8 and US $5.3 million. The constrained optimization tended to select mostly single BMPs or at most two BMPs for a given HRU due to these BMPs having higher acceptability to stakeholders. In contrast, the unconstrained case, representing full familiarity, selected 2‐ and 3‐BMP applications. There was little difference in costs between the constrained and unconstrained cases below an 80% TP yield reduction; however, significant differences were found at larger reductions, supporting the value of stakeholder education and extension efforts.

长江经济带全要素碳生产率的时空演化及提升潜力

将碳排放引入全要素生产率分析框架之中,利用Malmquist指数对长江经济带2000~2013年的全要素碳生产率进行测算。实证研究结果显示:(1)从时间维度来看,在此期间长江经济带碳生产率一直处于震荡上升的趋势,而全要素碳生产率处于较平稳的状态,年均增长率为2%;(2)从空间差异来看,长江经济带上中下游碳生产率区域差异明显,下游中游上游,全要素碳生产率下游区域高于中上游区域,而中游区域和上游区域则处于"追赶-超越-被反超"的状态;(3)上游区域全要素碳生产率增长的动力为技术效率的提高,中游区域全要素碳生产率平均下降了0.1%的原因为技术进步恶化的幅度已经完全抵消了技术效率提升带来的变化,下游区域主要是通过技术创新推动最优生产前沿向外移动使得全要素碳生产率平均增长了4.4个百分点;(4)安徽和贵州两地碳生产率提高的空间最大,而云南、四川和重庆地区也可通过技术进步、技术创新促进碳生产率的提高,上海、浙江、江苏和江西的碳生产率提升空间最小。

Characteristic Study of Ambient Air Total Gaseous Mercury (TGM) Concentrations During Rainy and Non-Rainy Periods at a Traffic Site in Taiwan

This investigation studied the concentrations of ambient air total gaseous mercury (TGM) during the rainy periods at the Hung-Kuang traffic sampling site in central Taiwan from May 26 to June 16, 2014. The results were compared with those of a previous study for ambient air TGM during non-rainy daytime and nighttime periods at the Hung-Kuang traffic sampling site, which was conducted during March 21 to July 20, 2012. The observed mean concentration of ambient air TGM was 1.16 ng/m³ during the rainy periods at the Hung-Kuang traffic sampling site. The mean ambient air TGM concentrations were higher in the non-rainy sampling period in daytime than in the rainy sampling period from this study. The mean ratio of non-rainy sampling period in daytime to that of rainy sampling period for ambient air TGM were 3.15. Furthermore, the mean ambient air TGM concentrations were higher in the non-rainy sampling period in nighttime in than in the rainy sampling period for this study. The mean rations for non-rainy sampling period in nighttime to that of the rainy sampling period for ambient air TGM were 2.70. The results obtained in this study also revealed that the ambient air TGM concentrations during the rainy period had the lowest concentrations when compared with the other sampling sites in other world regions.

氯化铁混凝剂中亚铁含量对混凝效果的影响

以城市污水处理厂原水为实验水样,研究了液体FeCl3混凝剂中亚铁含量对其混凝效果的影响。结果表明,液体FeCl3混凝剂中亚铁的含量与其对污水中总磷和COD的去除效果呈非线性相关性,当FeCl3中亚铁含量为25%时,16.0 mg/L的投加量即可使上清液COD降至195 mg/L,去除率达56.7%,总磷降至1.7 mg/L,去除率达70.7%;当FeCl3中亚铁含量继续降低至0.4%时,COD、总磷的去除率仅提高1.1%和1.3%。因此从性价比来讲,FeCl3混凝剂用于污水厂原水混凝时,可适当放宽产品质量标准中亚铁含量限值的规定,有利于降低氯化铁混凝剂的生产成本。

分析了2005—2012年纺织行业单位产品的用水量、主要水污染物排放强度和排放浓度的变化趋势,并采用灰色关联度分析方法,对各要素与行业主要水污染物排放量进行了关联分析。结果显示,2005—2012年中国纺织行业主要水污染物的排放强度显著下降,2012年COD和氨氮的排放强度分别为5.93、0.41kg/t,相比2005年分别下降了51.9%和39.7%。与纺织行业COD排放量变化最为密切的指标是单位产品的废水排放量、单位产品取水量与单位产品COD排放量,说明纺织行业生产工艺的提升对行业COD排放量的降低有较为密切的关系。与氨氮排放量变化最为密切的指标是单位企业产品产量、氨氮平均排放浓度与总量类指标,说明企业规模、末端治理工艺与氨氮排放量有较为密切的关系。     

湖北省畜禽养殖污染现状及总量控制

通过畜禽产排污系数以及2011年湖北省的统计数据,估算出湖北省2011年畜禽养殖业畜禽粪便总量及COD、氮、磷的产生量,分析了污染物对环境污染的情况,并对湖北省畜禽养殖的环境容量和污染风险进行了初步评估。结果表明,2011年湖北省畜禽的粪便总量为8 479.8万t,主要分布在襄阳市、黄冈市、孝感市。全省粪便耕地负荷为16.2 t/hm~2/a,警报值为0.54,分级级数为II,对环境构成污染的威胁为"稍有"。全省氮、磷的耕地负荷分别为157.9 kg/hm~2/a、24.5 kg/hm~2/a,其中,鄂州市、黄冈市均超过欧盟限量标准(氮170 kg/hm~2/a、磷35 kg/hm~2/a)。2011年湖北省的实际养殖总量分别为7 868.5万头猪当量(N)、9 725.3万头猪当量(P),都超过畜禽50%环境容量(为4 599.4万头猪当量(N),7 161.1万头猪当量(P)。除了荆州市外,其他大部分地区的实际养殖数量都超过50%环境容量,这些地区应该严格控制畜禽的养殖数量并同时做好污染物消减措施。
