苏南老城区合流制管网的溢流污染特征

为了解苏南某市老城区合流制管网溢流污染特征,在苏南某市D排水系统溢流口采集了2种不同降雨强度的水样,检测水样中COD、SS、TN、TP和NH3-N等污染指标的浓度,并对不同降雨强度的水质变化特征与相关性进行分析。结果表明:较高降雨强度下SS、COD、TN、NH3-N和TP的浓度变化范围分别为37~695 mg/L、119~1 441 mg/L、6.2~26mg/L、2.3~6.3 mg/L、0.07~1.48 mg/L;较低降雨强度下SS、COD、TN、NH3-N和TP的浓度变化范围分别为22~228 mg/L、180~535 mg/L、7.9~24.7 mg/L、3.2~24.2 mg/L 1.1~1.99 mg/L。由于不同降雨强度下雨污水冲击能量不同,在降雨强度较高的情况下,COD、TN与SS的线性相关系数分别为0.6954与0.6234,具有一定的相关性,而低降雨强度下无明显相关性。较高降雨强度时截留去除SS可以有效消减溢流污水中的COD和TN,对溢流污染的控制具有一定指导意义。

Two sampling strategies for an overview of pesticide contamination in an agriculture-extensive headwater stream

Two headwaters located in southwest France were monitored for 3 and 2 years (Auvézère and Aixette watershed, respectively) with two sampling strategies: grab and passive sampling with polar organic chemical integrative sampler (POCIS). These watersheds are rural and characterized by agricultural areas with similar breeding practices, except that the Auvézère watershed contains apple production for agricultural diversification and the downstream portion of the Aixette watershed is in a peri-urban area. The agricultural activities of both are extensive, i.e., with limited supply of fertilizer and pesticides. The sampling strategies used here give specific information: grab samples for higher pesticide content and POCIS for contamination background noise and number of compounds found. Agricultural catchments in small headwater streams are characterized by a background noise of pesticide contamination in the range of 20–70 ng/L, but there may also be transient and high-peak pesticide contamination (2000–3000 ng/L) caused by rain events, poor use of pesticides, and/or the small size of the water body. This study demonstrates that between two specific runoff events, contamination was low; hence the importance of passive sampler use. While the peak pesticide concentrations seen here are a toxicity risk for aquatic life, the pesticide background noise of single compounds do not pose obvious acute nor chronic risks; however, this study did not consider the risk from synergistic “cocktail” effects. Proper tools and sampling strategies may link watershed activities (agricultural, non-agricultural) to pesticides detected in the water, and data from both grab and passive samples can contribute to discussions on environmental effects in headwaters, an area of great importance for biodiversity.     

Suitability of oil bioremediation in an Artic soil using surplus heating from an incineration facility

A 168-day period field study, carried out in Sisimiut, Greenland, assessed the potential to enhance soil remediation with the surplus heating from an incineration facility. This approach searches a feasible ex situ remediation process that could be extended throughout the year with low costs. Individual and synergistic effects of biostimulation were also tested, in parallel. An interim evaluation at the end of the first 42 days showed that biostimulation and active heating, as separate treatments, enhanced petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) removal compared to natural attenuation. The coupling of both technologies was even more effective, corroborating the benefits of both techniques in a remediation strategy. However, between day 42 and day 168, there was an opposite remediation trend with all treatments suggesting a stabilization except for natural attenuation, where PHC values continued to decrease. This enforces the “self-purification” capacity of the system, even at low temperatures. Coupling biostimulation with active heating was the best approach for PHC removal, namely for a short period of time (42 days). The proposed remediation scheme can be considered a reliable option for faster PHC removal with low maintenance and using “waste heating” from an incineration facility.     

Performance evaluation of an in situ nitrous acid measurement system and continuous measurement of nitrous acid in an indoor environment

Nitrous acid (HONO) may cause adverse effects to mucous membranes and lung function when people are exposed to higher HONO concentrations than those present in typical indoor residential environments. Therefore, determination of HONO concentration in indoor environments is required to investigate occurrences of high HONO levels. In this work, a high-time-resolution measurement system was utilized to better understand the levels and dynamic behavior of HONO in an indoor environment. The performance of the in situ HONO analyzer applied to this work was evaluated using a 12-hr integrated annular denuder technique under ambient conditions. Both methods for the measurements of HONO were in good agreement, with a regression slope of 0.84, an intercept of 0.09, and correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.67. Indoor HONO and nitrogen oxide concentrations were also observed for approximately 5 days in winter in the living room of an apartment that had a gas range for cooking in the kitchen. Investigation of the relationships among nitric oxide (NO), nitrite (NO2), and HONO concentrations suggests that HONO production during combustion could be the result of direct emission, whereas the heterogeneous NO2 chemistry during the background period and after combustion was the possible pathway of HONO production. Controlled combustion experiments, performed at a burning rate of 50% valve setting, show peak HONO concentrations during the unvented combustion to be approximately 8-10 times higher than background levels depending on the time of day. At a burning rate setting of 50%, the peak concentration of HONO during unvented combustion was found to be 33-37% higher than those from "weak" (airflow = 340 m3/hr) and "strong" (airflow = 540 m3/hr) vented combustions. The decay rate of the HONO concentrations for the unvented combustion conditions was approximately 2-fold higher in the daytime than in the nighttime and significantly less than those of NO and NO2.     

Real-time indoor and outdoor measurements of black carbon in an occupied house: an examination of sources

Black carbon (BC) was measured every 5 min for two years (May 1998-May 2000) inside and immediately outside a northern Virginia house (suburban Washington, DC) occupied by two nonsmokers. Two aethalometers, which measure BC by optical transmission through a quartz fiber tape, were employed indoors and outdoors. Meteorological parameters were obtained on an hourly basis from nearby Dulles airport. Indoor activities were recorded to identify indoor sources such as combustion activities, which occurred 9% of the time during the first year and 4% of the time during the second year. At times without indoor sources, indoor/outdoor BC ratios averaged 0.53 in the first year and 0.35 in the second year. The main outdoor source of BC was the general regional background, contributing 83-84% of the total during each of the two years. Morning rush hour traffic contributed 8-9% of the total BC. An evening peak in the fall and winter, thought to include contributions from wood burning, was responsible for approximately 8% of the annual average BC concentration. The main indoor sources of BC were cooking and candle burning, contributing 16 and 31%, respectively, of the annual average indoor concentrations in the two years. Relative humidity (RH) affected the outdoor aethalometer in both years. An artifact associated with the tape advance was noted for the aethalometer, but a correction factor was developed that reduced the associated error by a factor of 2.     

Behavior of bensulfuron-methyl in an agricultural alkaline soil

A field experiment to determine the available bensulfuron-methyl (BSM) in the upper soil layer was conducted in an agricultural area in the South of Spain. To facilitate herbicide analysis, two application rates were employed, 200 g ha^?1 and 5 kg ha^?1. Samples of upper soil and soil solution were collected. Soil solution was sampled by means of metallic samplers, placed at a depth of 35 cm. In the plots receiving the lower dose ceramic suction, porous cups were also installed. Results from soil solution samples showed that the maximum BSM concentration was found after 8-10 days for the high irrigation supply (945 mm) and after 18-25 days for the lower irrigation regime (405 mm). The mathematical model FOCUSPELMO 1.1.1 was applied to interpret the data obtained in the field experiments. In general, there was a reasonable agreement between experimental and simulated data for soil samples, although the model did not acceptably predict herbicide concentrations in water soil samples. Ceramic cups sampled a higher soil water volume and more frequently than did the metallic samplers. However some variable results were attributed to preferential flow.     

Formation of methyl mercury in an aquatic macrophyte

In the nature, inorganic forms of mercury (Hg) may be transformed to the organic, very toxic, methyl-Hg. Occasionally methyl-Hg has been detected in plants, also so in the aquatic macrophyte water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica), which is a popular vegetable in tropical regions. The objectives of this study were to investigate if methyl-Hg is formed and/or degraded in water spinach. Water spinach plants were exposed to inorganic Hg via spiked soil or spiked nutrient solution. Tests were performed in a climate chamber and in experimental units, one for each individual plant, that were equipped with separated shoot and root compartments. Plant tissues were analysed for total- and methyl-Hg. The results showed that methyl-Hg was accumulated in water spinach, especially in young metabolically active parts, when exposed to external inorganic Hg, even at sterilized conditions. Results also showed that methyl-Hg was formed in water spinach in the absence of external Hg, i.e., during recovery in a not Hg-spiked medium following after HgCl₂-exposure. There was however, no sign of demethylation. Summarizing, most of the Hg that is taken up by the plants is bound in the roots, but of the comparatively small amounts of Hg that reach the young growing shoots, a part will be methylated. Since the young shoots of this plant make a delicious and very appreciated vegetable, Hg in I. aquatica may contribute to human health problems.

Behavior of bensulfuron-methyl in an agricultural alkaline soil

A field experiment to determine the available bensulfuron-methyl (BSM) in the upper soil layer was conducted in an agricultural area in the South of Spain. To facilitate herbicide analysis, two application rates were employed, 200 g ha(-1) and 5 kg ha(-1). Samples of upper soil and soil solution were collected. Soil solution was sampled by means of metallic samplers, placed at a depth of 35 cm. In the plots receiving the lower dose ceramic suction, porous cups were also installed. Results from soil solution samples showed that the maximum BSM concentration was found after 8-10 days for the high irrigation supply (945 mm) and after 18-25 days for the lower irrigation regime (405 mm).

Characteristics of puff dispersion in an urban environment

Instantaneous releases of sulfur hexafluoride tracer were carried out as part of the Joint Urban 2003 field campaign in Oklahoma City. Data from 10 fast-response tracer samplers were used to examine the crosswind and along-wind spread of the tracer, the decay of tracer concentrations, and the retention of tracer within approximately 1 km of the release locations. The time variation of the median values of the tracer concentrations, normalized by the peak value observed at a given sampler, could be approximately described by an exponential decay with characteristic decay times on the order of 1–2 min. The longer times were found for early morning releases and the shorter times were associated with later morning or afternoon releases, suggesting that atmospheric stability or the depth of the mixed layer may affect puff dispersion even in urban environments. The median retention times required for 99% of the exposure to be realized at a given location were found to be correlated reasonably well with the median decay times. These characteristic time scales should be regarded as lower limits for concentration decay because the analysis excluded a number of anomalous cases in which the decaying concentrations exhibited an extended tail that indicated a very slow ventilation rate. The median values of the along-wind dispersion parameter σ_x grouped into downwind distance ranges can be described by a linear variation with distance with an initial “hold up” contribution due to building effects of about 30–45 m, but there are considerable variations about this relationship. Downwind 0.5–1 km from the release point the lateral puff dispersion (σ_y) was roughly 70% of the along-wind dispersion.
