Distribution,sources, and ecological risk assessment of SVOCs in surface sediments from Guan River Estuary,China

The contamination of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in the surface sediments of the Guan River Estuary, China was fully investigated. Total concentrations of 56 species of SVOCs ranged from 132 to 274 ng/g with an average of 186 ng/g (dry weight). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations were positively correlated with clay content and negatively correlated with sediment grain size. Source identification indicated that PAHs originated mainly from pyrolytic sources. However, intense ship traffic in the estuary may provide sources of petrogenic PAHs. Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) mainly originated from direct input of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) during some industrial processes. The SVOC concentrations were also compared with International Sediments Quality Guidelines and Sediments Quality Criteria, and the results indicated that negative biological impacts may originate from high concentrations of FLO, p,p′-DDE, and total DDTs.     

Amoxicillin effects on functional microbial community and spread of antibiotic resistance genes in amoxicillin manufacture wastewater treatment system

This study aimed to reveal how amoxicillin(AMX) affected the microbial community and the spread mechanism of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs) in the AMX manufacture wastewater treatment system. For this purpose, a 1.47 L expanded granular sludge bed(EGSB) reactor was designed and run for 241 days treating artificial AMX manufacture wastewater. 454 pyrosequencing was applied to analyze functional microorganisms in the system. The antibiotic genes OXA_(-1), OXA_(-2), OXA_(-10), TEM_(-1), CTX-M_(-1), class I integrons(intI1) and 16 SrRNA genes were also examined in sludge samples. The results showed that the genera Ignavibacterium, Phocoenobacter,Spirochaeta, Aminobacterium and Cloacibacillus contributed to the degradation of different organic compounds(such as various sugars and amines). And the relative quantification of eachβ-lactam resistance gene in the study was changed with the increasing of AMX concentration.Furthermore the vertical gene transfer was the main driver for the spread of ARGs rather than horizontal transfer pathways in the system.     

复合二氧化氯对药物及个人护理品的降解效能

药物及个人护理品(PPCPs)在水处理工艺中的迁移转化备受关注.二氧化氯(ClO_2)是一种常用的消毒剂,但水厂中二氧化氯制备工艺得到的常为复合二氧化氯(即ClO_2和Cl_2的混合物).目前,复合二氧化氯对PPCPs的去除方面研究还比较缺乏.本文研究了复合二氧化氯对16种常见PPCPs的降解效能,并与单独二氧化氯氧化进行比较.研究发现,PPCPs的降解效果与其化学结构密切相关.ClO_2可选择性氧化磺胺甲基嘧啶等含富电子基团的PPCPs,对甲硝唑等不含富电子基团的PPCPs降解能力有限,对咖啡因和扑米酮基本不降解.相比单独二氧化氯氧化,复合二氧化氯能促进萘啶酸、氟甲喹和对乙酰氨基酚的降解,但是对甲硝唑、二甲硝咪唑和避蚊胺的降解能力低于单独二氧化氯氧化.复合二氧化氯使用中亚氯酸盐生成量降低.     

Characterization particulate matter from several Chinese cooking dishes and implications in health effects

Cooking fume produced by oil and food at a high temperature releases large amount of fine particulate matter(PM) which have a potential hazard to human health. This chamber study investigated particle emission characteristics originated from using four types of oil(soybean oil, olive oil, peanut oil and lard) and different kinds of food materials(meat and vegetable). The corresponding emission factors(EFs) of number, mass, surface area and volume for particles were discussed. Temporal variation of size-fractionated particle concentration showed that olive oil produced the highest number PM concentration for the entire cooking process. Multiple path particle dosimetry(MPPD) model was performed to predict deposition in the human respiratory tract. Results showed that the pulmonary airway deposition fraction was the largest. It was also found that particles produced from olive oil led to the highest deposition. We strongly recommend minimizing the moisture content of ingredients before cooking and giving priority to the use of peanut oil instead of olive oil to reduce human exposure to PM.     

SWOT分析方法在城镇环境规划中的应用

可持续发展是当今世界的热点课题,城镇环境规划对于中国的城镇可持续发展和社会主义新农村建设具有重要的意义。然而现有的环境规划分析方法大多是对环境现状的直观描述和简单归纳总结,缺少定量的分析,因此。需要全新的分析方法的引入。本文运用综合评判法、矩阵分析、四半维平面坐标、强度梯度等数学手段,将SWOT分析方法引入环境规划领域,构成了一个适合于环境规划决策过程中应用的系统和定量模型。在此基础上,结合某城镇的环境规划实例,深入探讨了在城镇环境规划中如何引入SWOT分析这一重要方法,并成功得出了该镇环境规划的方向和对策,为其他城镇的可持续发展提供理论支持。     

环境监测现场采样质量控制的措施和建议

现阶段我国的环境问题越来越严重,监测环境也有着越来越重要的任务。监测环境的主要目的是使用有效监测方法获得环境信息,使用科学的方法服务于环境管理工作。但因为环境监测工作具有一定的复杂性,如果有一个环节出现问题,都会影响监测结果的准确性。现阶段,在实验室内部开展的质量控制工作取得了良好成果,但现场采样依旧存在着一定问题,这会在很大程度上影响监测结果的准确性。因此本文围绕环境监测现场中的质量控制进行讨论。     

中国正规、非正规生活垃圾填埋场地下水中典型污染指标特性比较分析

本研究基于1991—2018年期间的相关报道,通过单因子和內梅罗指数法、地下水质量评分法等方法及SPSS 24.0和Origin 2017等分析软件分别对我国正规、非正规生活垃圾填埋场地下水中的主要污染指标进行了评价,通过累计污染负荷比法分别对其进行了识别,并分析了正规与非正规填埋场地下水的污染特征与差异,以期为我国不同类型的生活垃圾填埋场地下水污染的修复和治理提供指导.结果表明:我国正规生活垃圾填埋场地下水中已报道检出污染指标共计89种,非正规共计93种;其中在非正规填埋场地下水中,有机物、无机盐以及重金属污染指标的数量都较之正规的更多.正规、非正规生活垃圾填埋场地下水中普遍性、局部性和点源性的主要污染指标差异明显,虽然两种不同类型的填埋场地下水中均普遍存在有机物(高锰酸盐指数)、无机盐(氨氮、氯化物、硝酸盐氮)和重金属(铁)污染指标,但是在非正规填埋场地下水中还普遍含锰和砷,局部含汞;在正规填埋场地下水中,普遍含汞,局部含锰.同时,我国正规、非正规生活垃圾填埋场地下水质量综合评分F值分别为7.69和8.11,都属于极差级别,表明无论是正规还是非正规填埋场,其地下水都已受到了严重污染,其中非正规的污染程度明显高于正规的.因此,生活垃圾填埋场对地下水的污染应引起社会的关注,尤其应加强对非正规生活垃圾填埋场地下水污染的修复和治理.     

Analysis of floc morphology in a continuous-flow flocculation and sedimentation reactor

The floc morphology was investigated in a continuous-flow reactor, in order to understand the evolution of flocs in practical flocculation and sedimentation processes in water utilities. Kaolin-humic acid suspension was used as the test water, and polyaluminum chloride was chosen as the coagulant. An in-situ recognition system was applied to analyze the floc size, boundary fractal dimension, and eccentricity ratios. Particle numbers and turbidity were also determined in the sedimentation stage. At a coagulant dose of 1 mg/L as Al, the average floc size increased from 62 to 78 μm and the boundary fractal dimension was around 1.14, suggesting that flocs were compact and continuously grew during the entire flocculation process. However, with the dose increased to 5 mg/L, the average floc size decreased and stabilized at around 65 μm, with the fractal dimension of 1.20. It can be concluded that the excess coagulant doses resulted in the formation of chain-shaped, lower density, and more branched structure flocs, thereby restricting flocs' further growth in the subsequent flocculation. Floc morphology analysis suggested that charge neutralization dominated in the initial flocculation stage, then the bridge and sweep mechanisms were dominant in the subsequent flocculation. In addition, compared with the traditional inclined plate settler, a novel V-shaped plate settler introduced in this study had an advantage in small size floc(less than 5 μm) removal. The V-shaped region could promote aggregate restructuring and re-flocculation; therefore, the V-shaped plate settler provides an alternative method for sedimentation.     

菊花茶中砷含量特征及砷健康风险评价

菊花茶是深受人们喜爱的一种饮品,但其干燥过程及加工工艺不当会造成菊花茶的重金属污染,尤其是和硫磺矿伴生的重金属砷。以市售菊花茶为研究对象,采用硝酸-双氧水消解体系,高压密闭消解系统和原子荧光光谱法分析测定了其中砷(As)含量,对典型超标菊花茶样品进行不同冲泡方式的筛选,确定其适宜的饮用方式,并根据我国绿色代用茶行业标准和WHO砷最大日允许摄入量(ADI)对菊花茶中砷的人体健康风险做出评价。结果表明,菊花茶中砷的含量范围在0.01～3.52mg·kg-1,91.1%的样品符合绿色代用茶的《中华人民共和国农业行业标准》(0.5mg·kg-1),其中砷含量最高的为药用祁菊花达3.52mg·kg-1,所有样品中超标的8个菊花茶样品种类分别为祁白菊(2个),杭白菊(2个),黄山贡菊(1个)和野菊花(1个),怀菊和药用祁菊各1个,75%的超标样品为散装饮品;选择超标的2个典型菊花茶样品(杭白菊和药用祁菊花)进行冲泡方式筛选,得出适宜的饮用方式为:用水茶质量比例为25∶1的开水清洗菊花茶5min,然后用开水冲泡5～20min再饮用。随菊花茶进入人体的最大日摄入量(极限值)为43.7～169μg·d-1,其占ADI(allowable daily intake)的比值范围在34.1%～132%,其中随药用祁菊花进入人体的As最大日摄入量与ADI的比值超过100%,这表明砷经菊花茶饮品摄入人体内所潜在的健康风险不容忽视。砷超标的菊花茶经过冲泡后饮用,砷的人体日摄入量13.1～36.3μg·d-1,其占ADI的比值范围在10.3%～28.4%。因此,经过洗茶后再冲泡饮用,砷的日摄入量显著降低(P<0.01),建议饮用菊花茶时洗1次茶后再冲泡饮用。
