Characterization of personal exposure concentration of fine particles for adults and children exposed to high ambient concentrations in Beijing, China

In China, the health risk from overexposure to particles is becoming an important public health concern. To investigate daily exposure characteristics to PM 2.5 with high ambient concentration in urban area, a personal exposure study was conducted for school children, and office workers in Beijing, China. For all participants (N = 114), the mean personal 24-hr exposure concentration was 102.5, 14.7, 0.093, 0.528, 0.934, 0.174 and 0.703 μg/m 3 for PM 2.5 , black carbon, Mn, Al, Ca, Pb, and Fe. Children's exposure concentrations of PM 2.5 were 4-5 times higher than those in related studies. The ambient concentration of PM 2.5 (128.5 μg/m 3 ) was significantly higher than the personal exposure concentration (P 0.05), and exceed the reference concentration (25 μg/m 3 ) of WHO air quality guideline. Good correlation relationships and significant differences were identified between ambient concentration and personal exposure concentration. The relationships indicate that the ambient concentration is the main factor influencing personal exposure concentration, but is not a good indicator of personal exposure concentration. Outdoor activities (commute mode, exposure to heating, workday or weekend travel) influenced personal exposure concentrations significantly, but the magnitude of the influence from indoor activities (exposure to cooking) was masked by the high ambient concentrations.     

潮土中阿特拉津解吸滞后特征

采用批量动态实验方法,研究了阿特拉津初始浓度与解吸时间对潮土中阿特拉津解吸滞后特征的影响.结果表明:土壤溶液中阿特拉津的浓度随其解吸时间的增加而逐渐下降,二者间可用经验指数公式表达.阿特拉津连续解吸5d后,阿特拉津的初始浓度从50μg·L^-1增加到2 000μg·L^-1时,对应解吸率分别为23.1%、30.4%、33.0%、36.4%和38.5%.土壤吸附阿特拉津与对应土壤溶液中阿特拉津浓度关系可用传统和依时解吸等温线2种方式描述.无论传统还是依时解吸等温线都与吸附进行到168h的吸附等温线之间存在着解吸的滞后现象.传统和依时Freundlich解吸等温线参数能对吸附解吸等温线的滞后作用进行量化,滞后系数ω只适合传统解吸等温线的滞后量化,而滞后系数H和λ对2类解吸等温线都适用.     

天然土壤中菲的解吸行为特征研究

选取天然土壤样品,以菲作为代表性污染物,利用批量吸附-解吸实验考察不同初始浓度、不同吸附时间条件下菲解吸行为的滞后性特征.实验数据采用Freundlich方程式拟合,并由基于热力学的TII指数表征.结果表明,天然土壤吸持菲的比例随其初始浓度的增加而减少.在土壤多次解吸过程中,每次释放菲的比例随其初始浓度的升高而增加,随解吸次数的增加而减少.吸附过程的拟合指数n大于解吸过程的对应值,并随初始固相浓度的加大而增加.天然土壤吸附-解吸过程的滞后性特征表现为初始固相浓度越高,TII值越接近0,滞后性越弱;反之,则TII值越接近1,滞后性越强.另外,吸附平衡时间30 d对应的n值小于5 d的,而两者的TII值随初始浓度增高则呈现降低趋势.就同一浓度而言,吸附平衡30 d所对应的TII值高于5 d的.     

阿特拉津及其代谢物在砂质壤土中的吸附

采用批量平衡法研究了阿特拉津（AT）及其主要代谢物脱乙基阿特拉津（DEA）和脱异丙基阿特拉津（DIA）在砂质壤土中的吸附行为,讨论了离子强度和温度对吸附的影响.结果表明,3种化合物的吸附24h基本达到平衡,吸附量大小顺序为AT > DIA > DEA;二级动力学模型可以很好地预估平衡吸附容量和初始吸附速率常数,颗粒内扩散方程表明颗粒扩散不是唯一的控速手段,Elovich方程拟合所得AT、DEA和DIA的瞬时吸附占各自吸附总量的53%、85%和80%;Freundlich方程能很好地描述3种化合物在供试土壤中的吸附特性,吸附系数（K_f）范围为0.7992~1.3201mg^1-1/n·mL^1/n/kg,经验常数1/n范围为0.7440~0.7530.溶液的离子强度和温度影响土壤对化合物的吸附,温度升高,K_f值降低;CaCl₂从0~0.01mol/L,K_f值增大,再继续增加,吸附系数有降低的趋势.     

林丹的吸附解吸行为对其沉积物基准的影响

研究了林丹在3种沉积物上的吸附/解吸行为.结果表明,在3种沉积物上的吸附等温线都符合Freundlich模型,其吸附性能受有机碳含量和颗粒分布的影响.而解吸等温线明显地偏离吸附等温线,存在显著的解吸滞后现象,解吸用二元平衡解吸(DED)模型进行拟合,效果良好.解吸不可逆程度随着沉积物中林丹初始浓度增大而增大.由DED模型推算的沉积物基准值比用线性模型推算的基准值高46倍以上.     

熟污泥改性黄土对铜的吸附解吸特征

为探明熟污泥改性黄土对重金属的容纳能力,以熟污泥改性黄土为供试土样,采用序批实验法研究了供试土样对铜(Cu)的吸附解吸特征,并分析了供试土样对铜的固定能力及影响因素.供试土样对铜的吸附量在铜添加浓度小于100mg/L时急剧增加,在铜添加浓度大于100mg/L时增加缓慢,而解吸量的变化趋势则恰恰相反.Langmuir型吸附等温式是描述供试土样对铜的吸附过程的最佳模型,而吸附量与解吸量的关系可以很好的用指数函数来描述.供试土样对铜的固定吸附量随熟污泥含量的增加而增加,有机质含量是决定性因素.     

Adsorption–desorption behavior of atrazine on agricultural soils in China

Adsorptionanddesorptionareimportantprocessesthataffectatrazinetransport,transformation,andbioavailabilityinsoils.Inthisstudy,theadsorption–desorptioncharacteristicsofatrazinein three soils (laterite, paddy soil and alluvial soil) were evaluated using the batch equilibrium method. The results showed that the kinetics of atrazine in soils was completed in two steps: a “fast” adsorption and a “slow” adsorption and could be well described by pseudo-second-order model.In addition,the adsorption equilibrium isotherms were nonlinear and were well fitted by Freundlich and Langmuir models. It was found that the adsorption data on laterite, and paddy soil were better fitted by the Freundlich model;as for alluvial soil,the Langmuir model described it better. The maximum atrazine sorption capacities ranked as follows: paddy soil > alluvial soil > laterite. Results of thermodynamic calculations indicated that atrazine adsorption on three tested soils was spontaneous and endothermic. The desorption data showed that negative hysteresis occurred. Furthermore, lower solution pH value was conducive to the adsorptionofatrazineinsoils.Theatrazineadsorptioninthesethreetestedsoilswascontrolled by physical adsorption, including partition and surface adsorption. At lower equilibrium concentration, the atrazine adsorption process in soils was dominated by surface adsorption;while with the increase of equilibrium concentration, partition was predominant.     

Effect of biosurfactant[0] on the sorption of phenanthrene onto original and H2O2-treated soils

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of biosurfactant on sorption of phenanthrene (PHE) onto the original or H2O2-treated black loamy soil (typic isohumisols) and red sandy soil (typic ferralisols). The sorption isotherms were performed with the original and "soft" carbon-removed soils in the presence and absence of biosurfactant (200 mg/L). The sorption and degradation of biosurfactant were investigated. The result showed that organic matter played an important role in PHE sorption onto the black loamy and red sandy soils, and the PHE sorption isotherms on the "soft" carbon-removed soils exhibited more nonlinearity than those on the original soils. The values of partition coefficient (Kd) on the original black loamy soil with or without 200 mg/L biosurfactant were 181.6 and 494.5 mL/g, respectively. Correspondingly, in the red sandy soil, Kd was 246.4 and 212.8 mL/g in the presence or absence of biosurfactant, respectively. The changes of Kd suggested that biosurfactant inhibited PHE sorption onto the black loamy soil, but facilitated PHE sorption onto the red sandy soil. The nonlinearity of PHE sorption isotherm was decreased in the presence of biosurfactant. Site specific sorption might occur during PHE sorption onto both the original and the "soft" carbon-removed soils in the presence of biosurfactant. It was noted that biosurfactant could also be sorbed onto soils. The maximal sorption capacity of the red sandy soil for biosurfactant was (76.9 ± 0.007) μg/g, which was 1.31 times that of black loamy soil. Biosurfactant was degraded quickly in the two selected soils, and 92% of biosurfactant were mineralized throughout the incubation experiment for 7 d. It implied that biosurfactant should be added frequently when the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soils was conducted through PAH desorption approach facilitated by biosurfactant.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

表面活性剂对苯并[a]芘在黑炭表面吸附解吸的影响

通过静态吸附实验,研究了3种不同类型的表面活性剂(阳离子∶十六烷基三甲基溴化铵,CTAB;阴离子∶十二烷基苯磺酸钠,SDBS∶非离子,曲拉通100,TX100)对苯并[a]芘(BaP)在黑炭表面吸附解吸的影响.结果表明,3种表面活性剂的存在均会增加BaP在黑炭表面吸附的非线性程度.CTAB的存在可以促进BaP在黑炭表面的吸附同时抑制了BaP的解吸,然而SDBS的存在降低了BaP在黑炭表面的吸附并增加了吸附过程的可逆性.与CTAB和SDBS不同,TX100对BaP在黑炭表面吸附解吸的影响取决于其添加浓度.低浓度的TX100(50 mg.L-1)能够促进BaP在黑炭上的吸附并抑制BaP的解吸,吸附能力参数Kd值(在ce=50μg.L-1下)从188 062 mL.g-1增大到264 179 mL.g-1,解吸滞后指数HI从0.44降低到0.39.随着TX100浓度增加到150 mg.L-1和200 mg.L-1,TX100对BaP的吸附表现出抑制作用并能够促进BaP的解吸,Kd值(在ce=50μg.L-1下)从188 062 mL.g-1分别降低到182 751 mL.g-1和178 730 mL.g-1,解吸滞后指数从0.44分别升高到0.65和0.70.本研究为预测多环芳烃在表面活性剂污染的环境中的分布特征和最终归趋提供了理论依据.

西辽河流域不同土地利用结构沙土磷解吸特征

采用小型回填式土柱淋溶试验方法,研究了西辽河流域沙土的磷解吸特征.结果表明,西辽河流域沙土的磷解吸特征符合Freundlich和Langmuir解吸等温式;沙土磷的解吸比率(D_r)在0.32～0.98之间,平均值为0.70;最大解吸量(D_m)与饱和吸附量(Г_m)呈极显著正相关;沙土对磷的吸附方式以物理吸附为主,解吸可逆性较强.被吸附的磷在环境中较易发生淋失,仍然存在一定的环境风险.土壤中w(有机质)和w(团聚体)对磷的固持能力有较大影响;不同土地利用结构磷的D_r排序为农田(0.64)=草地(0.64)＜林地(0.67)＜沙荒地(0.91),农田、草地和林地磷淋失的环境风险较小;沙荒地磷淋失的环境风险最大,D_r与土壤中w(粗黏粒),w(黏粒)和w(有机质)呈极显著负相关.      

Contribution of black carbon to nonlinearity of sorption and desorption of acetochlor on sediment

In order to investigate the contribution of various black carbon (BC) contents to nonlinearity of sorption and desorption isotherms for acetochlor on sediment, equilibrium sorption and desorption isotherms were determined to measure sorption and desorption of acetochlor in sediment amended with various amounts of BC. In this paper, two types of BC referred to as BC400 and BC500 were prepared at 400°C and 500°C, respectively. Higher preparation temperature facilitated the formation of micropores on BC to enhance its sorption capacity. Increase of the BC content obviously increased the sorption amount and reduced the desorption amount for acetochlor. When the BC500 contents in total organic carbon (TOC) increased from 0 to 60%, Freundlich sorption coefficient (K _f) increased from 4.07 to 35.74, and desorption hysteresis became gradually obvious.When the content of BC in TOC was lower than 23%, the sorption isotherm had a significant linear correlation (p = 50.05). In case of desorption, a significant nonlinear change could be observed when the content of BC was up to 13%. Increase of BC content in the sediment would result in shifting the sorption-desorption isotherms from linearity to nonlinearity, which indicated that contribution of BC to nonlinear adsorption fraction became gradually remarkable.     

灭草松和莠去津在土壤中的竞争吸附

采用振荡平衡法测定了低浓度范围内(＜30 mg·L-1)灭草松和莠去津单、双溶质在4种土壤中的吸附等温线.单溶质吸附结果表明,4种土壤中灭草松存在不吸附、吸附2种类型,吸附等温线类型有L和C型;莠去津的吸附等温线有L、S和C型;有机质、矿物质及农药疏水性是影响灭草松和莠去津在土壤中吸附的重要因素.通过比较单溶质和双溶质溶液中灭草松和莠去津的等温吸附线,发现混合溶液中它们的吸附行为相互之间随土壤类型不同存在竞争、无影响和协同作用,并且竞争程度与溶质浓度有关.用理想溶液吸附理论(IAST)和单溶质吸附等温线参数,模拟了双溶质溶液中灭草松和莠去津的吸附等温线,结果显示,该模型不能很好的预测实验结果.进一步结合吸附机理分析认为,不同土壤中的竞争结果是由于2种农药在其中共同占有吸附点的情况不同造成的.

Kappaphycus alvarezii waste biomass: A potential biosorbent for chromium ions removal

The Cr(III) sorption experiments onto Kappaphycus alvarezii waste biomass were conducted at different pH values (2–6) under the conditions of initial metal concentration of 10–50 mg/L and the chemical compositions of Cr-Cu and Cr-Cd. The Cr(III) sorption capacities were slightly dependent on pH, and the maximum sorption capacity was 0.86 mg/g at pH 3. The sorption capacities increased with increase in the initial metal concentration, whereas it was suppressed by the presence of Cu(II) and Cd(III) in the solution. The Cr(III) sorption equilibrium was evaluated using Langmuir, Freundlich and BET isotherms. The sorption mechanisms were characterised using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The main mechanisms were ion exchange coupled with a complexation mechanism. Kappaphycus alvarezii waste biomass represents a potential for Cr(III) ion removal from aqueous solution.     

双酚A在湘江沉积物上的吸附特征

探讨了双酚A(BPA)在湘江沉积物上的吸附/解吸特征.结果表明,BPA在湘江沉积物上的吸附主要以快速吸附为主,Freundlich模型能较好地描述其吸附等温线,沉积物有机质中的碳黑物质和孔隙填充相引起了BPA的非线性吸附和解吸滞后行为;沉积物对BPA的吸附是一个放热过程,主要是自发的焓推动的物理吸附;随着沉积物浓度的增大,单位沉积物上的BPA吸附量减少;随着离子强度的增大,单位吸附量也随之增大;在酸性条件下,单位沉积物上的BPA吸附量随着pH值的增大而减少,在碱性条件下这种影响不显著.     

溶解性有机质对芘在土壤中吸附解吸的影响

从腐解不同阶段的水稻秸秆提取溶解性有机质(DOM),用DAX-8树脂分组的方法分析了其亲疏水性,并研究了提取到的DOM对芘在土壤中吸附-解吸行为的影响.结果表明,随秸秆腐解时间的延长,产生DOM中亲水性组分减少,疏水性组分增多.在本试验所研究的吸附解吸实验条件下,芘在土壤中的吸附解吸均可用线性方程进行描述.加入DOM后,芘的吸附受到显著抑制(p0.01),并且随腐解时间延长,抑制作用增强;芘在土壤中存在解吸迟滞现象,加入DOM后迟滞现象减弱,促进了芘在土壤中的解吸.随腐解作用的进行,DOM促进芘解吸的作用增强,解吸迟滞系数减小.这是由于随秸秆腐解作用的进行,产生DOM中疏水性组分含量增多,其对芘的增溶作用增强所致.
