Trace Element Contaminants in Sediments From the Noaa National Status and Trends Programme Compared to Data From Throughout the World

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Status and Trends (NS&T) Programme has analyzed samples of surface sediment collected at almost 300 coastal and estuarine sites throughout the United States since 1984. the overall distributions for concentrations of each element are approximately lognormal allowing a definition of geometric means and of “high” concentrations as those exceeding the mean plus one standard deviation of the lognormal distribution. Those mean and “high” concentrations should be useful for comparing the NS&T data set and with other reports on sediment contamination. A world-wide data set, constructed from data in the literature, was summarized in an identical manner. It was found, after excluding locally extreme values, that the NS&T and world-wide data sets yielded very similar mean and “high” concentrations for Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. Chromium was the sole element showing higher summary statistics in the NS&T data set, a result attributed to NS&T sampling in areas of naturally (not contaminated) elevated Cr content. It remains undetermined, however, why the world-wide data set, even with exclusion of “hot spots”, yielded higher means and “highs” for Cd, Hg, As, and Ag.

城市路面径流污染负荷及采样次数对其估算准确性的影响

在西安市城市主干道南二环路建立路面径流原位采样站,利用自制流量等比例采样装置,采集2009年3月-2010年2月的36场降雨径流,测试各场次径流SS、COD、溶解性COD、NH4-N、Pb、Zn和溶解态Pb、Zn的事件平均浓度(EMC),计算径流年污染负荷,并采用随机抽样方法研究采样次数对污染负荷估算准确性的影响.结果...     

北京城区屋面径流中PAHs的污染特征与来源解析

以北京典型城区屋面径流中的PAHs为研究对象,在2008年雨季采集了不同地点的屋面径流,分析了溶解相和颗粒相PAHs的质量浓度,对屋面径流中PAHs的质量浓度特征、时空变化规律及来源进行了讨论。结果表明,屋面径流具有较严重的PAHs污染,16种PAHs在溶解相中的总质量浓度为563.85~937.01 ng.L-1,来源主要是机动车排放（31.9%）、煤燃烧（39.6%）、天然气燃烧（15.3%）及石油类的挥发（14.2%）;在颗粒相中的总质量浓度为844.48~1372.62 ng.L-1,来源主要包括燃煤（51.8%）、汽油（38.1%）和柴油（10.1%）的燃烧等。BaP的EMC平均值（172 ng.L-1）远远超过我国污水排放标准（30 ng.L-1）,且以颗粒相为主。不同地点采集的屋面径流中的PAHs质量浓度大部分表现出较明显的初期效应和时间变化,而在不同采样点之间则没有明显的空间差异。     

海洋中上层鱼类微量元素赋存研究进展

微量元素在生物体内发挥着至关重要的作用。海洋中上层鱼类是海洋食物网的重要组成部分,可以富集海洋环境中的微量元素,并通过食物链的传递,最终到达顶端营养级海洋生物。当部分微量元素在海洋生物体中过少或过多累积将会造成生命威胁,甚至危害人群健康。随着海洋中上层鱼产品需求量日益增加,引发了人们对海洋中上层鱼类食品安全问题的高度关注。目前,微量元素在海洋中上层鱼类体内赋存特征已被广泛研究,但缺少对其元素分布、影响因素以及相互关系等系统梳理。本文综述了海洋中上层鱼类微量元素的赋存特征和微量元素之间的相互作用,总结了微量元素在海洋中上层鱼类研究中含量测定的应用和评价方法,以期为实现海洋渔业的可持续开发和水产养殖等相关研究提供参考。     

砂柱对济南城市屋面雨水径流净化效果的试验

针对屋面雨水回灌裂隙岩溶含水层要求快速量大和水质要求高的特点,设计了相适宜的砂滤柱.采用室内砂滤试验研究了济南市屋面雨水径流回灌裂隙岩溶含水层之前的雨水净化效果.结果表明,砂柱对屋面雨水径流污染物有明显的去除效果,浊度的平均去除率达到87%,悬浮物的平均去除率达到70%以上,对色度、挥发酚、Pb和Zn也有一定的去除效果,对NH3-N、NO2-N的去除效果较差.浊度、色度和悬浮物等大部分污染物的去除主要集中在上层完成,因此,砂柱的上层需要定期更换.     

城市屋面雨水绿地水平流渗透净化研究

把城区屋面汇集的雨水径流通过绿地或人工土层净化后收集利用或渗透地下,既可涵养地下水,又截留处置了部分雨水,减轻了雨洪负荷和雨水径流对受纳水体的污染,是一种经济有效的雨水利用方案。但为保证雨水渗入地下后不污染土层和地下水源,本文研究了屋面雨水在天然和人工配制的两种土壤中水平流动的净化作用及其规律。为屋面雨水绿地渗透方案的工程实施提供技术依据。     

发达国家金属环境风险评估方法研究

金属进入环境后可能会对人体和生态环境造成潜在危害。目前发达国家金属环境风险评估体系已较为完善,而我国尚处于起步阶段。为了科学开展金属环境风险评估,以发达国家金属环境风险评估方法为研究对象,对美国环境保护局(United States Environmental Protection Agency,US EPA)、国际矿业与金属委员会(International Council on Mining and Metals,ICMM)等发达国家或国际组织发布的金属风险评估指南、导则中涉及的研究范围、关键评估要素等方面进行总结和分析。研究发现金属环境风险评估基于危害及效应评估、暴露评估及风险表征3个步骤,但由于在属性等方面的特殊性,在开展金属风险评估时需要考虑自然本底属性、营养属性、金属形态、金属混合物及其相互作用以及地域环境的差异性等要素,本文就上述要素提出了讨论与展望,以期为我国金属环境风险评估指南的建立提供参考。
