酸性降水对油菜产量的影响评估

文章利用1992-2011年南京市酸雨资料和油菜的产量资料,分析了酸雨对南京市油菜产量的影响,结果发现:油菜全生育期降水pH值与产量呈正相关,其中1-4月的降水pH值对油菜后期产量形成影响最显著。基于月降水pH值,建立了油菜产量的多项式回归模型,通过反演,发现该模型对产量模拟和灾损评估具有较好效果。     

九龙矿矸石山周围土壤环境的评价

调查了邯郸市九龙矿矸石山周围地表土壤中重金属的元素的含量。并通过单因子污染指数和N.L.Nemerow(内梅罗)指数法对矸石山周围土壤进行污染评价。结果表明,矸石山附近的土壤都符合土壤环境质量标准二级标准中(pH>7.5、农田、旱地)的重金属指标。背景土壤与矸石山周围土壤的重金属含量相差较小,主要与煤矸石中重金属含量偏低有关。由于该矿煤矸石对周围土壤环境影响程度较小,煤矸石中重金属含量偏低所以应尽量增加对煤矸石的综合利用,从而减少煤矸石对土地的压占。

pH和Ni2+对人工纳米氧化硅吸附菲的影响

为了揭示菲在人工纳米氧化硅上的吸附行为,采用批量平衡实验对比研究了灼烧前后纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附,考察了pH值和重金属离子(Ni2+)对吸附行为的影响,并应用位点能量分布模型分析了菲吸附行为的变化.结果表明,吸附数据可用Freundlich模型较好地拟合,高温灼烧后纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附增加,lgKF由1.48增加到2.43;吸附的非线性也增加,结合孔分布及表面积变化,说明纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附为孔填充与表面吸附共同作用,内部孔对菲的吸附起主要作用.pH值的变化没有显著改变原始纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附;但是显著影响灼烧后纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附,吸附随着pH值的增加而降低,pH值由4.0增加到8.0,lgKF减少了73.7%.主要因为提高pH值,可明显增加灼烧纳米氧化硅的表面电荷,降低孔的可及性.不同浓度的Ni2+对菲吸附的影响不同,在Ni2+低浓度时(<5 mmol.L-1),表现为吸附抑制;在Ni2+高浓度时,对低浓度菲(50μg.L-1)表现为促进吸附,对高浓度菲(500μg.L-1)吸附的抑制程度不再增加.这是多个机制共同作用的结果.     

A review on China's constructed wetlands in recent three decades: Application and practice

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been introduced to and developed in China for environmental engineering over the most prosperous three decades (1990–2020). To study the origin, development process, and future trend of CWs, this review summarized a wide range of literatures between 1990 and 2020 by Chinese authors. Firstly, the publication number over years, research highlights, and the author contributions with the most published papers in this field were conducted through bibliometric analysis. Secondly, the most principal components of CWs, substrates and macrophytes were summarized and analyzed. Thirdly, the typical application cases from traditional CWs, pond systems to combined pond-wetland systems were presented. In China, CWs were predominately distributed in the east of the so-called 'Hu Huanyong Line'. Therefore CWs were limited by the socio-economic level and climatic conditions. It is unquestionable that the overall level of China's CWs has improved significantly, and one of the most prominent features has started towards the plural pattern development. There has been a trend of large-scale or low-cost CW application in the recent years. However, lifecycle research and management are required for better strategies in the future.     

Sulfur-driven methylmercury production in paddies continues following soil oxidation

Methylmercury (MeHg) production in paddy soils and its accumulation in rice raise global concerns since rice consumption has been identified as an important pathway of human exposure to MeHg. Sulfur (S) amendment via fertilization has been reported to facilitate Hg methylation in paddy soils under anaerobic conditions, while the dynamic of S-amendment induced MeHg production in soils with increasing redox potential remains unclear. This critical gap hinders a comprehensive understanding of Hg biogeochemistry in rice paddy system which is characterized by the fluctuation of redox potential. Here, we conducted soil incubation experiments to explore MeHg production in slow-oxidizing paddy soils amended with different species of S and doses of sulfate. Results show that the elevated redox potential (1) increased MeHg concentrations by 10.9%−35.2%, which were mainly attributed to the re-oxidation of other S species to sulfate and thus the elevated abundance of sulfate-reducing bacteria, and (2) increased MeHg phytoavailability by up to 75% due to the reductions in acid volatile sulfide (AVS) that strongly binds MeHg in soils. Results obtained from this study call for attention to the increased MeHg production and phytoavailability in paddy soils under elevated redox potentials due to water management, which might aggravate the MeHg production induced by S fertilization and thus enhance MeHg accumulation in rice.     

Understanding the risks of mercury sulfide nanoparticles in the environment: Formation, presence, and environmental behaviors

Mercury (Hg) could be microbially methylated to the bioaccumulative neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg), raising health concerns. Understanding the methylation of various Hg species is thus critical in predicting the MeHg risk. Among the known Hg species, mercury sulfide (HgS) is the largest Hg reservoir in the lithosphere and has long been considered to be highly inert. However, with advances in the analytical methods of nanoparticles, HgS nanoparticles (HgS NPs) have recently been detected in various environmental matrices or organisms. Furthermore, pioneering laboratory studies have reported the high bioavailability of HgS NPs. The formation, presence, and transformation (e.g., methylation) of HgS NPs are intricately related to several environmental factors, especially dissolved organic matter (DOM). The complexity of the behavior of HgS NPs and the heterogeneity of DOM prevent us from comprehensively understanding and predicting the risk of HgS NPs. To reveal the role of HgS NPs in Hg biogeochemical cycling, research needs should focus on the following aspects: the formation pathways, the presence, and the environmental behaviors of HgS NPs impacted by the dominant influential factor of DOM. We thus summarized the latest progress in these aspects and proposed future research priorities, e.g., developing the detection techniques of HgS NPs and probing HgS NPs in various matrices, further exploring the interactions between DOM and HgS NPs. Besides, as most of the previous studies were conducted in laboratories, our current knowledge should be further refreshed through field observations, which would help to gain better insights into predicting the Hg risks in natural environment.     

Sources and distribution of sedimentary organic matter along the northern Bering and Chukchi Seas

In this study, lignin-derived phenols were used to determine the sources and distribution of sedimentary organic matter along the northern Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean. The lignin parameter syringyl/vanillyl (S/V) and cinnamyl/vanillyl (C/V) ratios are used to indicate vegetation sources; and the ratios of vanillic acid/vanillin, (Ad/Al)v and syringic acid/syringaldehyde, (Ad/Al)s are used as indicators of lignin diagenesis. Results showed the predominance of woody gymnosperm signal at the easternmost location in the northern Bering Sea, a mixture of refractory non-woody angiosperm and fresher gymnosperm tissues in the Chukchi Sea, and signal of fresher woody gymnosperm tissues in the northernmost locations in the Chukchi Sea. The lignin materials showed gradual increase in decomposition stage during transport along the northern Bering Sea. Hydrodynamic sorting process, which is the retention of coarser materials nearshore and transportation of finer particles farther offshore, most probably occurred along the east coast of the northern Bering Sea. In Chukchi Sea, the non-woody angiosperm tissues could have originated from the Canadian Arctic and gymnosperm tissues could be from the Russian Arctic side. The fresher materials in the northernmost Chukchi Sea could have been transported here via the ice-rafting process. Detection of fresh lignin materials and the occurrence of lignin decomposition mean that this region could be sensitive to the impact of climate change.
