Sensitivity analysis of surface ozone to emission controls in Beijing and its neighboring area during the 2008 Olympic Games

The regional air quality modeling system RAMS (Regional Atmospheric Modeling System)-CMAQ (Community Multi-scale Air Quality modeling system) is applied to analyze temporal and spatial variations in surface ozone concentration over Beijing and its surrounding region from July to October 2008. Comparison of simulated and observed meteorological elements and concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ozone at one urban site and three rural sites during Olympic Games show that model can generally reproduce the main observed feature of wind, temperature and ozone, but NOx concentration is overestimated. Although ozone concentration decreased during Olympics, high ozone episodes occurred on 24 July and 24 August with concentration of 360 and 245 μg/m³ at Aoyuncun site, respectively. The analysis of sensitive test, with and without emission controls, shows that emission controls could reduce ozone concentration in the afternoon when ozone concentration was highest but increase it at night and in the morning. The evolution of the weather system during the ozone episodes (24 July and 24 August) indicates that hot and dry air and a stable weak pressure field intensified the production of ozone and allowed it to accumulate. Process analysis at the urban site and rural site shows that under favorable weather condition on 24 August, horizontal transport was the main contributor of the rural place and the pollution from the higher layer would be transported to the surface layer. On 24 July, as the wind velocity was smaller, the impact of transport on the rural place was not obvious.

Faecal sterols as sewage markers in the Langat River, Malaysia: Integration of biomarker and multivariate statistical approaches

The Langat River in Malaysia has been experiencing anthropogenic input from urban, rural and industrial activities for many years. Sewage contamination, possibly originating from the greater than three million inhabitants of the Langat River Basin, were examined. Sediment samples from 22 stations (SL01-SL22) along the Langat River were collected, extracted and analysed by GC-MS. Six different sterols were identified and quantified. The highest sterol concentration was found at station SL02 (618.29 ng/g dry weight), which situated in the Balak River whereas the other sediment samples ranged between 11.60 and 446.52 ng/g dry weight. Sterol ratios were used to identify sources, occurrence and partitioning of faecal matter in sediments and majority of the ratios clearly demonstrated that sewage contamination was occurring at most stations in the Langat River. A multivariate statistical analysis was used in conjunction with a combination of biomarkers to better understand the data that clearly separated the compounds. Most sediments of the Langat River were found to contain low to mid-range sewage contamination with some containing `significant' levels of contamination. This is the first report on sewage pollution in the Langat River based on a combination of biomarker and multivariate statistical approaches that will establish a new standard for sewage detection using faecal sterols.     

大气中碳氢化合物来源的分析研究

1989年秋至1990年春夏季,对北京城郊大气进行了非甲烷总烃(NMHC)及C2—C11分类测定。测点以交通路口为主,对汽车尾气排放情况作了重点研究,观测了典型路口西单安全岛空气中NMHC等浓度日变化;分析了这些路口空气中总烷烃(甲烷除外)与总烯烃等比值(Alkane/Alkene),并与某些固定源及郊区清洁点的比值进行了比较。一般而言,北京环境大气中Alkane约占NHHC60％,与世界主要大城市相当;Alkene约占21％,略高;总芳香烃(Alkyne)约占19％,比上述城市都低。      

Characteristics of ozone and ozone precursors (VOCs and NOx) around a petroleum refinery in Beijing, China

A field measurement campaign for ozone and ozone precursors(VOCs and NOx) was conducted in summer 2011 around a petroleum refinery in the Beijing rural region. Three observation sites were arranged, one at southwest of the refinery as the background, and two at northeast of the refinery as the downwind receptors. Monitoring data revealed the presence of serious surface O3 pollution with the characteristics of high average daily mean and maximum concentrations(64.0 and 145.4 ppbV in no-rain days, respectively) and multi-peak diurnal variation. For NOx, the average hourly concentrations of NO2 and NO were in the range of 20.5–46.1 and 1.8–6.4 ppbV, respectively. For VOC measurement, a total of 51 compounds were detected. Normally, TVOCs at the background site was only dozens of ppbC, while TVOCs at the downwind sites reached several hundreds of ppbC. By subtracting the VOC concentrations at background, chemical profiles of VOC emission from the refinery were obtained, mainly including alkanes(60.0% ± 4.3%), alkenes(21.1% ± 5.5%) and aromatics(18.9% ± 3.9%). Moreover, some differences in chemical profiles for the same measurement hours were observed between the downwind sites; the volume ratios of alkanes with low reactivity and those of alkenes with high reactivity respectively showed an increasing trend and a decreasing trend. Finally, based on temporal and spatial variations of VOC mixing ratios, their photochemical degradations and dispersion degradations were estimated to be 0.15–0.27 and 0.42–0.62, respectively, by the photochemical age calculation method, indicating stronger photochemical reactions around the refinery.

Urban NO2 concentrations in the U.K. in 1987

A mational air quality monitoring network has been established in the U.K. by Warren Spring Laboratory, on behalf of the U.K. Department of the Environment, to determine compliance with the European Community Directive for nitrogen dioxide. Data from the six network sites for 1987 are presented and analysed.No site in the U.K. breached the NO₂ Directive Limit Value during this year, though the closest approaches were at the two London stations. Annual average NO₂ concentrations, which varied from 23 to 39 ppb, were consistent with the top five percentile of long-term measurements from a national survey of over 360 U.K. urban areas carried out in 1986.The temporal variability of NO₂ concentrations was substantially lower over all time scales than that for NO: winter/summer ratios for all sites averaged 2.9 for NO and 1.3 for NO₂. Most sites showed strong diurnal variations for NO which were primarily influenced by traffic emissions during rush hours, although these variations were less marked for NO₂.A markedly non-proportional relationship between annual and daily average NO₂ and NO_x levels was observed, and this has important implications for its efficacy of possible NO_x emission control strategies. An analysis of measured NO₂/NO_x ratios over weekends and weekday periods demonstrates, for instance, that a 20% emission cutback may result, typically, in a corresponding NO₂ reduction of 12% at urban locations in the U.K. NO_x reductions, however, exert a more proportional effect on NO₂ concentrations at kerbside and rural locations.     

Status of air pollution in Beijing

A study has been made on elements organic constituents, TSP, SO2,NO2 of atmospheric pollutants in Beijing. 17 elements, and some PAHs, e. g. B(a)P, B(b, j, k)P, and B(g, h, i)P, in airborne particles by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and HPLC, GC/MS, have been determined respectively. It has been shown that the elements Pb, Zn, S and Cu were more enriched in fine particles and different valence states of sulfur at various sites. It was found that the concentrations of S6+ and S2-were more than 85% and less than 15% of the total sulfur respectively. Concentrations of major PAHs and sulfur-containing compounds increased in winter and in urban area. High values for Pb and Zn in city, Fe and Mn at industrial area and Cu, Al rural sites were obtained respectively. This implies the functions of different elemental sources of various sites. Thus, elements can be from distingushed anthropogenic and natural sources.The main contribution of SO2 was found of to have same seasonal variation as the anthropogenic el     

宁夏干旱地区工业区对农田土壤重金属累积的影响

随着我国东部沿海地区产业向中西部地区转移,曾经被冠以"净土"的西北干旱地区受到了工业排放污染的威胁.本文以宁夏某县枸杞种植地为研究对象,采用GIS技术,以工业区为中心,结合当地主导风向,沿着黄河进行带状布点采样,分析工业区的建立对农田土壤重金属Zn、Cr、Ni、Mn、Co、Cu、Cd、Pb污染的影响.结果表明,研究区农田土壤重金属累积程度较轻,只有少数样点发生人为Zn和Cd累积;工业区土壤中除了Ni元素以外,其它7种元素都有累积,其中Cd元素浓度达到污染水平的样点占总样点数三分之一.空间分布格局分析结果表明,枸杞地土壤中Cd、Zn、Cu、Mn和Pb等5种元素的分布与工业区位置有较强的相关性.从土壤重金属含量的角度来看,研究区的工业区影响还未造成枸杞地土壤重金属污染,并且由于该区域土壤的pH值普遍较高(平均pH值为8.54),因此,可以认为目前还不存在农田土壤重金属污染问题.但是工业区对农田土壤中重金属累积趋势的影响较为明显.此外,工业区对灌溉水中重金属元素的浓度也有一定影响.

Elemental composition of atmospheric aerosol particles under different conditions in Hungary

Aerosol samples were collected simultaneously by means of Nuclepore filters at three sites with different pollution levels: in downtown Budapest, in suburban Budapest and in rural air in Hungary. The concentration of 18 elements with atomic numbers between 13 and 82 were determined in the samples by particle (proton) induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method. The concentrations obtained are discussed, and dry deposition rates calculated on the basis of transport model simulations are compared to the wet depositions measured. It is found that the concentration and enrichment factor of different elements increased generally from background to downtown and wet removal significantly controls the deposition of anthropogenic elements.     

厦门冬春季大气VOCs的污染特征及臭氧生成潜势

2014年1~4月在厦门市城区和郊区开展冬春季节大气样品的采集,采用大气预浓缩系统与GC/MS联用技术定量了48种大气挥发性有机物(VOCs),对比分析了冬春季城区和郊区大气VOCs的污染特征,并利用最大增量反应活性(MIR)估算了大气VOCs的臭氧生成潜势(OFP).结果表明,冬季厦门城区和郊区大气中VOCs的平均体积分数分别为11.13×10-9和7.17×10-9,春季厦门城区和郊区大气中VOCs的平均体积分数分别为24.88×10-9和11.27×10-9,且均表现为烷烃芳香烃烯烃.通过B/T值探讨城区和郊区VOCs的来源发现,机动车和溶剂挥发是城区VOCs的主要来源,郊区VOCs除了局地源的贡献外,还受到外来污染物扩散传输的影响.城、郊区的主要VOCs包括丙烯、正丁烷、异丁烷、正戊烷、异戊烷、正己烷、苯、甲苯、乙苯和间对二甲苯,这10种组分对两地VOCs的贡献表现为春季(城区和郊区分别为62.83%和53.74%)高于冬季(城区和郊区分别为61.57%和45.83%).城、郊区VOCs的臭氧生成潜势分析显示,芳香烃的相对贡献率最大,其次是烯烃,烷烃最小.C3、C4类烯烃和苯系物是厦门城区和郊区活性较高的物种,对臭氧的贡献较大.比较观测期间城区和郊区VOCs的平均MIR值可知,郊区VOCs的活性高于城区.

沅江入湖河床沉积物重金属污染演化地球化学分析

对沅江入湖河段河床沉积物进行钻探取样,利用电感耦合等离子质谱仪(ICP-MS)分析沉积物重金属等微量元素的含量,并利用210Pb法测定沉积物沉积速率.同时,在分析沉积物重金属污染特征的基础上,探讨沉积物重金属污染的演化过程.结果表明:沉积物中Bi、Cd、Mn、Mo、Zn、Pb等重金属含量变化大、分布不均匀,而Sc、Tl、Rb、Cs、V、Co、Zr、Hf、Nb、Ta、Ga、Ge、Rb、Sr、REEs(稀土元素)等微量元素含量变化小,分布相对均一.微量元素富集特征(EF值)和主成分分析结果显示,沉积物中Cu、Sc、Tl、Rb、Cs、Th、U、V、Co、Zr、Hf、Nb、Ta、Ga、Ge、Rb、Sr、REE等微量元素主要为自然源,而Bi、Cd、Mn、Zn、Pb等重金属则既有自然源的影响,又有人为源的贡献.地累积指数(Igeo)评价结果显示,入湖段沉积物存在Cd-Mn-Zn-Pb-Bi等元素组合的重金属污染,且沉积物自下而上分布有中深部(204~192 cm)、中上部(96~64 cm)、浅表部(64~0 cm)3个重金属污染层.上述3个重金属污染层可能对应于3个期次的重金属污染事件,即早期(1913年前)的零星重金属污染、中期(建国初期至改革开放初期,1963—1979年)的中等强度重金属污染、近期(1979年至今)高强度重金属污染.且自早期到近期,沉积物重金属污染程度增强,污染元素组合趋于复杂化.沅江入湖河床沉积物的上述3期重金属污染可能对洞庭湖沉积物产生直接影响.     

电子废物拆解地区人群头发中持久性卤代有机污染物(PHCs)的污染特征

本研究以头发作为指示人群持久性卤代有机污染物(PHCs)暴露的生物材料,分析了电子废物拆解工人、电子废物拆解区普通居民、农村对照区居民和城市对照区居民头发中的PHCs浓度水平及组成特征.结果发现:电子废物拆解工人和拆解区普通居民头发中的PHCs含量显著高于两组对照地区人群(p< 0.05),表明电子废物拆解活动造成了当地人群对PHCs较高的暴露剂量.在电子废物拆解区的普通居民中,人群头发中的PHCs含量具有随年龄的增加而上升的趋势,老年人组(> 60岁)头发中的PHCs含量最高.在电子废物污染地区和农村对照区人群中,PCBs是最主要的PHCs污染物(39%~52%),表明这两个地区的人群均受到电子废物拆解活动的影响;城市人群头发中则以PBDEs和DBDPE为主(共占69%),反映了珠三角地区人群主要受工业或生活活动PHCs排放的影响.同时,主成分分析显示,不同人群头发中PHCs的组成模式也与污染物在环境中的迁移有关.
