Impact of nickel mining and metallurgical activities on the distribution of heavy metals in sediments of Levisa, Cabonico and Nipe Bays, Cuba 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
At MayarÕ zone, northeast Cuba, important lateritic deposits have been exploited since 1943. The mineral is used as raw material in a nickel-processing plant which discharges its untreated solid and liquid wastes into Levisa Bay. Similarly to the adjacent Nipe and Cabonico bays, fluvial currents from the mining areas convey a significant mineral load into this bay. To assess the environmental impact caused by the mining and the metallurgical activities, the distribution of Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb and Zn was investigated in surface and core sediment samples. Uni- and multivariate statistical methods as well as different indices and pollutant factors were used to interpret results. These revealed significant environmental impacts in some areas of the three bays with high concentrations of Ni, Co, Fe and Mn, whose values are up to two orders of magnitude greater than the zone baseline levels. The metal concentrations decreased with increasing distance from discharges. A comparison with other Cuban bays and coastal zones, confirmed that the main source of metal pollution in these three bays was not urban and industrial activities, but lateritic mining and metallurgy. 相似文献

Izmit Bay is located at the eastern end of the Sea of Marmara. The Sea of Marmara is an important adjacent area to the Mediterranean Sea. The extent of pollution in the Bay is increased beyond tolerable levels mainly due to substantial and unplanned growth of a large spectrum of industrial activities. A comprehensive project for the prevention and elimination of pollution in Izmit Bay is realised. The assessment of pollution from land‐based sources was the most significant step in this project. The study revealed that the Bay receives a total municipal wastewater flow of 70 000 cu m/day and a total industrial waste discharge of 120 000 cu m/day. The total BOD load was noted to be subdivided as 30 000 kg/day and 75 000 kg/day between municipal and industrial sources respectively. Similar figures were also computed for all the other parameters including nutrients and heavy metals. The evaluation showed that the eastern part of the Bay receives more than 70% of the total pollution load. 相似文献

赤潮多发区深圳湾叶绿素a的时空分布及其影响因素 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
于2008年2月至2008年11月分四个季度调查了赤潮多发区深圳湾叶绿素a的时空分布,并分析了叶绿素a与主要环境因子之间的关系.结果表明,深圳湾叶绿素a质量浓度范围为3.07~309.94 mg·m~(-3),年平均值为42.29 mg·m~(-3).四季叶绿素a平均质量浓度由高到低排列分别为:春季(108.33 mg·m~(-3))>夏季(35.2 mg·m~(-3))>秋季(16.68 mg·m~(-3))>冬季(8.96 mg·m~(-3)).叶绿素a的质量浓度在冬季和春季呈现由湾内向湾外递减的分布特征,而夏季和秋季呈现由西岸向东岸递减的分布特征,整体则呈现由湾内向湾外递减的分布特征.相关分析显示深圳湾叶绿素a与水温、COD、TOC、PO_4~(3-)-P和浮游植物密度因子显著正相关,与DIN因子极显著正相关,说明叶绿素a与水温、DIN、PO_4~(3-)-P、COD、TOC和浮游植物密度之间有着比其它因子更为密切的关系.以叶绿素a作为富营养化评价标准,发现深圳湾海域富营养化严重,存在随时爆发赤潮的潜在风险. 相似文献

Bandon Bay (Surat Thani Province) is one of the most productive coastal areas in southern Thailand. The Tapi River and 18
channels are the main sources of freshwater, nutrients, organic matter and sediment to the bay and the loading of freshwater
and nutrients provide essential support for the production of phytoplankton in the estuarine ecosystem. Bandon Bay is important
as natural spawning, nursery and feeding grounds for shellfish such as oysters, blood cockles, green mussels, short-necked
clams, mud crabs and shrimps, and the estuary also serves as an excellent area for mariculturing of shellfish. In fact, oysters
and blood cockles cultured in Bandon Bay are now being exported worldwide. However, Bandon Bay is also a textbook example
of overexploitation of coastal resources in the tropics including all the derived changes in the estuarial ecosystem with
severe socio-economic consequences. Hence, there is an urgent need for setting up an integrated management plant for a sustainable
use of shellfish resources in Bandon Bay. The present study attempts to integrate water quality simulation results, socio-economic
data and information on existing shellfish resource use in the process of proposing a set of sustainable management strategies
for shellfish resources in Bandon Bay. These strategies involve: (1) using water quality modeling to monitor ecological and
environmental changes in shellfish culture beds and their natural habitats in the process of setting up a master plan for
management of waste water discharge into Bandon Bay; (2) zoning of shellfish mariculture in the coastal area in order to solve
conflicts between resource users; (3) setting up a clear system for taxation of mariculture where the revenue may be used
for (4) setting up and managing mangrove strips as filters of pollution and sediment around Bandon Bay; and finally (5) it
is suggested to form a committee with members representing all relevant stakeholders plus the local government in order to
work on resolving the existing and potential future conflicts over resource usage in Bandon Bay. This methodology may be seen
as an important contribution towards a Bandon Bay sustainable management approach, based on the principles of integrated coastal
zone management because it is science-based and takes into consideration the needs and perceptions of people involved in coastal
resource extraction. 相似文献

On a small island such as Malta where many developers and policy makers place a large emphasis on social use and develoment
values, which encourages recreational/industrial development, it is often hard to promote the monetary value of coastal conservation
due to strong competition with the large tourism industry. An assessment of the ecological (conservation) and economic (use/development)
values of four popular Maltese bathing areas (Mellieha, St. George’s, Ramla and Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) was carried out by evaluating
their ability to provide a number of functions. This is dependent on the environments’ inherent characteristics within the
context of locally applicable time and space functions. Function Analysis is an innovative technique able to provide a means
for assessing changes in environmental quality of an area and evaluating the sustainability of applied management regimes.
This paper is a first example of an application of the Functional Analysis approach in Malta. Local application of this technique
indicates a need for additional refinement in application to coastal areas. Analysis showed that St. George’s, had the lowest
conservation value, Ramla and Ghajn Tuffieha bay had the highest conservation values, Mellieha Bay had high conservation value
and use/development potential. In this context, conservation value is understood to reflect values of biodiversity, information/knowledge
and environmental quality. 相似文献

The current lack of a working resource management plan Magdalena Bay (southern Baja California, Mexico) has weakened attempts
to set priorities among resource users and has contributed to: reduced fish stocks, land and marine contamination, and declines
in the ecological integrity of the bay of 170 000 ha and its vast mangrove lagoon systems. The government agencies responsible
for maintaining ecological integrity and managing marine resource use have not been successful in addressing these problems
due to jurisdictional ambiguities, lack of community support, and lack of manpower for monitoring and enforcing policies.
A framework was designed by the authors to work toward an approach for balancing between community development and conserving
ecological integrity at the local level in the peripheral and central zones of the Magdalena Bay system. The goal of this
framework was to suggest a basis for setting management priorities that included the perceptions and preferences of stakeholder
groups with regard to direct threats to the environmental health of the study areas. To achieve this goal a crossdisciplinary
study of the central and peripheral zones was used to examine factors that influence current resource use and the environmental
state in these two regions of the bay system. Insights into the preferences and perceptions of stakeholder groups with regard
to management priorities were acquired using the key informant technique. The results revealed potential conflicts with regard
to preferred management priorities between stakeholder groups, as well as polarities within stakeholder groups themselves. 相似文献

Liverpool Bay supports a productive commercial fishery yet at the same time is also used as a site for the disposal of waste by dumping, as well as receiving discharge of effluent from pipelines, rivers and estuaries. This paper summarizes the results of the monitoring programme of fish and shellfish quality in Liverpool Bay carried out in recent years including two special surveys conducted in and around the sewage sludge dumping site in 1980 and 1981. The concentrations of trace metals are discussed in relation to inputs into the bay. Mercury concentrations in fish appear to vary with the two major imputs (sewage sludge dumping and industrial discharges). There is no evidence of widespread elevated concentrations of cadmium, lead, zinc and copper in fish and shellfish from the bay but there is some evidence of local contamination by these metals. None of the elevated concentrations of metals found appear to be significant from a public health viewpoint. 相似文献

On 26 March 2003, the Tokyo Bay Renaissance Promotion Council, composed of six central government agencies and eight regional government bodies endorsed an “Action Plan for Tokyo Bay Renaissance”. Under the action plan, the monitoring campaign of bay environment has been started in 2008. Dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, and temperature were monitored in sea area, chemical oxygen demand, temperature, and discharge were monitored in river area. These data sets show a detailed snap shot of hypoxic water occurrence in the inner part of the bay. A series of environment maps for Tokyo Bay have been published for sharing the data. For example, in 2012, goby census has been implemented to show importance of biological – environmental relations. Participants of the census are 240, and the more than 8,000 data of fished gobies has been corrected. It clearly shows relation between growth and special environment variation. From just few trial of the campaigns are not enough to answer all questions, nevertheless, these trials shows its importance and efficiency on bay environment monitoring and management as one of the ICM tools. 相似文献

Chemical hydrography, nutrients and trace metals in water, sediments and marine organisms were studied in the Bay of Mali Ston and their role in terms of pollution discussed. Results show that the entire study area is very strongly affected by the adjacent land. The overall area is well aerated so that no dangerous accumulation of nutrients with oxygen content reduction was recorded. Results of analyses of trace metals show that the water and sediments of the bay contain high levels of some metals significantly higher than those from the open sea. This may be attributed to the natural sedimentation processes and the Neretva River and submarine spring runoffs carrying constituents of ignous and limestone rocks. 相似文献

Uncertainties hamper the implementation of strategic environmental assessment (SEA). In order to quantitatively characterize the uncertainties of environmental impacts, this paper develops an integrated methodology through uncertainty analysis on land use change, which combines the scenario analysis approach, stochastic simulation technique, and statistics. Dalian city in China was taken as a case study in the present work. The results predict that the Fuzhou River poses the highest environmental pollution risk with a probability of 89.63% for COD in 2020. Furthermore, the Biliu River, Fuzhou River, Zhuang River, and Dasha River have 100% probabilities for NH3-N. NH3-N is a more critical pollutant than COD for all rivers. For COD, industry is the critical pollution source for all rivers except the Zhuang River. For NH3-N, agriculture is the critical pollution source for the Biliu River, Yingna River, and Dasha River, sewage for the Fuzhou River and Zhuang River, and industry for the Dengsha River. This methodology can provide useful information, such as environmental risk, environmental pressure, and extremely environmental impact, especially under considerations of uncertainties. It can also help to ascertain the significance of each pollution source and its priority for control in urban planning. 相似文献

A number of local populations of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) are widely distributed throughout the warm coastal waters of Asia. The Omura Bay population, consisting of approximately
300 individuals, is the smallest of five populations inhabiting Japanese waters. It is a relatively new population that established
after the global warming that took place approximately 9000 years ago. To observe whether these porpoises appear in the major
corridor to the ocean from Omura Bay, we used acoustic monitoring to record occurrences of finless porpoises from November
2007 to May 2009. A stereo acoustic event recorder recorded the intensity and the sound source direction of biosonar signals,
providing independent traces of sound sources corresponding to each detected animal. A total of 226 individuals were detected
over the 1.5-year monitoring period, of which 76% occurred at night and 73% occurred during March and April. We compared the
presence of porpoises to the Japanese anchovy catch in Omura Bay and the Hario Strait over the same period. Results suggested
that possible reductions in anchovy resources in the bay could attract porpoises to the outside of their normal habitat. In
total, 70% of the porpoise recordings took place when the tidal current was moving out of Omura Bay. Porpoises might follow
the prey that are transported out of the bay due to the strong outbound current. The finless porpoises confined to the bay
might extend their swimming area if prey is available. 相似文献

Assessment of a model of pollution disaster in near-shore coastal waters based on catastrophe theory 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In this study, a model for assessing of environmental disasters in near-shore areas was developed using a multi-criteria evaluation method of catastrophe theory. The assessment model involved scenarios of eutrophication, pollution with heavy metals and organic compounds. An evaluation system of the model was composed of seven mesosphere indicators and twenty underlying indicators including water chemistry, water physics, water biology, heavy metals and organic pollutants in water and surface sediments. The model was applied to possibility assessment of environmental disasters in different functional regions of the Dalian Bay in 2001 and 2006. Results showed that the environmental disaster indicators in 2001 were equivalent to the Level 4 standard values of marine functional areas, but the eutrophication disaster indicators were lower than the Level 4 standard values. It is consistent with the occurrence of a large-scale red tide in Dalian Bay in 2001. In 2006, eutrophication remained the dominant problem of the region but organic pollutants, such as oil, were reduced remarkably. This coincided with ongoing local environmental-friendly practices for industries. 相似文献

This article assesses the air pollution data from two monitoring stations in Kuwait. The measurements cover major pollutants, i.e., CO, CO2, methanated and non-methanated hydrocarbons, NO x , SO2, O3, and particulate matter (PM10). The data also includes meteorological parameters, i.e., solar intensity, temperature, wind speed, and wind direction, and has been collected over a period 4 years, from 2001 to 2004. Data analysis includes the assessment of annual hourly averages and 1-h maxima. Typical pollutant concentration trends, similar to those previously reported for Kuwait and for other locations around the world, are observed except for particulate matter measurements, which have higher values because of proximity to the desert. Emissions of nitrogen oxides show a consistent increase over the years. This is caused by the increase in the number of motor vehicles and the expansion in power generation and industrial activities. The data collected is a subset of the air quality criteria, as defined by the US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency). 相似文献

Abstract The paper discusses the eutrophication phenomenon as a result of pollution from land-based sources with special reference to the experience gained in the Kas?tela Bay Project. The Bay of Kas?tela is a semi-enclosed bay of a total volume of 1.4 km3. It receives a great amount of untreated waste water, both domestic and industrial. Results of the analyses of long-term data series of dissolved oxygen, nutrients, transparency and phytoplankton have shown a continuous increase of eutrophication in the Bay. While the concentration of oxygen in the euphotic layer increases due to a higher phytoplankton productivity, in the bottom layer it decreases as a result of the activity of heterotrophic bacteria. the nitrogen/phosphorus ratio in sea water has decreased, and today is much lower than in the open sea. From the Secchi-disc data it is clear that transparency has also decreased for the last three decades. Primary production as well as phytoplankton biomass has also increased. the structure of phytoplankton community has been changed and dinoflagellate species have become dominant rather than diatoms. 相似文献

The major sources and sinks of suspended particulate carbon are identified for northern Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, USA. The area of the bay under consideration was divided into two sections. The northernmost section (upper bay), from the head of the bay to the vicinity of Baltimore, was characterized by a high input of particulate carbon from upland drainage. The section from Baltimore to the mouth of the Potomac River (middle bay) was dominated by an internal supply of particulate carbon from primary production. The northernmost section was characterized by major particulate carbon losses to the bottom and to benthic respiration, with slightly less than half (43%) of the particulate carbon respired in the water column or converted to dissolved organic matter. In contrast, respiration in the water column or conversion to dissolved organic matter was responsible for the loss of about 65% of the particulate carbon in the middle section of the bay, while losses to the bottom and to benthic respiration totaled only 12%. Even though the supply of particulate carbon to the upper bay was about 1.5 times the supply to the middle bay, the loss of carbon due to biological activity (biological efficiency) in each area was similar, and amounted to about 70% of the supply of particulate carbon.The research reported here was partially supported by the University of Maryland and by the U. S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife under Contract No. 14-16-0005-2096. Contribution No. 471 of the Natural Resources Institute, University of Maryland, USA. 相似文献
