2006—2012年广东省机动车尾气排放特征及变化规律

利用广东省年鉴及实地调查资料,基于COPERT Ⅳ模型计算并分析了2006─2012年广东省珠三角和非珠三角地区的机动车尾气排放清单. 结果表明:研究地区2006─2012年机动车保有量上升,国Ⅲ、国Ⅳ车辆所占比例提高,其中珠三角地区优化程度大于非珠三角地区;2006─2012年2个地区污染物(CO、VOC、NO_x、PM_2.5)排放因子均有降低,降幅在24.54%~57.89%之间. 机动车污染物排放量上升趋势及贡献特征地区性差异明显,2006─2012年非珠三角地区CO、VOC排放量分别上升了37.20%、26.93%,增幅高于珠三角地区,而珠三角地区2012年的NO_x、PM_2.5排放量增幅(分别为21.65%、14.60%)高于非珠三角地区. 轻型客车是2个地区CO和VOC的主要贡献车型,贡献率均达46.96%以上,并且处于上升状态,但珠三角地区增幅小于非珠三角地区;重型客车和重型货车是2个地区NO_x、PM_2.5的主要来源,贡献率均在40.78%以上.      

污水处理厂中红霉素抗药性基因的污染特征及选择性因子

采用固相萃取-高效液相色谱串联质谱(SPE-HPLC-MS/MS)检测分析了上海某污水处理厂中12种不同药品和个人护理品(pharmaceutical and personal care products,PPCPs)的含量水平和分布特征,采用实时荧光定量PCR方法定量检测分析了7种红霉素抗药性基因(ERY-ARGs)在污水处理厂中的分布和丰度变化.结果表明,在污水处理厂中共检出5种PPCPs(包括磺胺甲唑、红霉素、四环素、卡马西平和三氯生),浓度范围分别为24.5~38.7、47.5~49.2、43.1~85.4、2.5~3.9和423.2~8 973.3ng·L-1.两段A/O生物处理工艺对三氯生具有较好的去除效果,但对其余4种PPCPs的去除效果较差.与此同时,目标ERY-ARGs在污水处理厂中均被检出,在原水中的丰度达9.28×103(erm A)~1.83×108(ere A)copies·L-1,虽然两段A/O工艺能够显著降低污水中的ERY-ARGs(1.19 log~3.97 log),但其在最终处理出水中的浓度仍然较高.通过相关性分析可知,ERY-ARGs与红霉素和三氯生之间均具有显著相关性(P<0.05),表明污水处理厂中红霉素对ERY-ARGs的产生和传播具有重要影响,而三氯生对ERY-ARGs可能存在交叉选择性作用.     

Nationwide monitoring of atmospheric PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in South Korea

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) were measured in ambient air samples collected from different parts of South Korea in 2008, and the measured levels were used for assessing the spatial and temporal distribution of atmospheric PCDDFs and DL-PCBs in South Korea. The average concentrations of atmospheric PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs among the 37 sites were 28 fg I-TEQ m⁻³ (ND ∼ 617) and 1 fg WHO-TEQ m⁻³ (ND ∼ 0.016). Elevated atmospheric levels of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs observed at residential/industrial sites and in the north-west of Korea, indicated a potential contribution and impacts of anthropogenic sources of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs. These levels were similar or lower than those previously reported in other ambient air surveys. Average concentrations of PCDD/Fs showed small seasonal variations (ANOVA analysis, p = 0.144). The highest concentrations of PCDD/Fs were observed during winter, followed by spring, autumn and summer. Atmospheric PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs in South Korea rapidly decreased during the last 10 years (1998-2008), demonstrating the efficiency of stricter regulations and the application of best available technologies/best environmental practices at emission sources. Comparison of the congener profiles and principal component analysis showed that current atmospheric PCDD/Fs are mostly influenced by industrial sources and PCBs from old commercial PCB uses. Nationwide POPs monitoring will continue and allows an effective evaluation of the implementation of the Stockholm Convention on POPs.     

基于物理过程的矿区地下水污染风险评价

目前国内外所做的地下水污染风险评价的实例研究一般都是从地下水的脆弱性研究出发,并未过多地考虑特征污染物对污染后果的影响.脆弱性是环境对污染物的自然敏感性,而地下水污染评价中更应当体现出污染物在地下水中的迁移分布特性.为了完善地下水污染风险评价的理论和方法,以某尾矿区为例提出了基于物理过程的地下水污染风险评价方法,在污染发生之前,根据经济社会的敏感性条件和污染物将来可能的分布范围,事先划分各个污染风险等级在含水层空间上的分布范围,然后据此反推各个风险等级所对应的污染物源强,以此作为地下水污染风险评价等级的划分标准,通过对污染物在包气带和含水层中的运移进行数值模拟来评价尾矿区地下水的污染风险.结果表明,这种基于物理过程的地下水污染风险评价方法可以给出污染物浓度和风险水平在空间和时间上的分布规律,对于单个点状的污染场地来说,具有详尽的风险表征方式,优于以往基于含水层固有脆弱性指数法的风险评价方法,该方法适用于现有污染场地的风险评价、场地优化选址和为场地建设提供设计参数.     

四环素抗生素对污泥中四环素抗性基因丰度和表达水平的作用影响

为研究四环素(TC)抗生素对其抗性基因(TC-ARGs)转录表达的作用影响,以从活性污泥中筛选获得的四环素抗性细菌(TRB)作为研究对象,采用荧光定量PCR和逆转录PCR方法检测了7种TC-ARGs,包括tet A、tet C、tet G、tet M、tet O、tet W和tet X基因的丰度和表达水平,并探讨了TC与TC-ARGs丰度及其表达水平之间的相关关系.结果表明,在整个培养周期内,tet A、tet G和tet W基因丰度随TC暴露浓度的增大总体呈现上升趋势,但其余TC-ARGs基因丰度整体波动较大. TC胁迫对不同TC-ARGs的转录表达水平作用影响差别较大,其中,tet A基因表达水平相对稳定,且随TC浓度的升高而上调,在TC浓度为100 mg·L^-1时,其上调倍数高达5. 3倍.在短期(1 d) TC胁迫下,TC-ARGs转录表达水平随TC浓度的升高整体呈现上调趋势.由相关性分析可知,tet A和tet W基因丰度与其转录表达水平之间存在显著的线性相关性,表明其基因丰度可在一定程度上衡量和评价其抗性表达水平,进而反映其功能活性和环境风险.     

凹型建筑外立面火灾烟气蔓延特性研究

为了研究凹型建筑外立面火灾烟气蔓延特性，对高层建筑凹槽内火灾烟气“三场”数值模拟。研究表明:结构因子α（进深与槽宽之比）的变化导致凹型建筑结构内呈现不同的火灾烟气蔓延规律；当α为0~0.4时，建筑凹槽内的火灾烟气无烟囱效应；当α为0.6~1.2时，建筑凹槽内的火灾烟气呈现一定的烟囱效应，其火灾烟气温度场、CO浓度场、扩散速度场变化显著；当α>1.2的，建筑凹槽内的火灾烟气烟囱效应显著。     

Transboundary hazardous waste management. Part I: Waste management policy of importing countries.

Mixed metal-containing waste, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) containing capacitors, printed circuit boards, steel mill dust and metal sludge were among the most common wastes exported from Taiwan. Before the implementation of the self-monitoring model programme of the Basel Convention (secretariat of the Basel Convention 2001) in the Asia region, Taiwan conducted a comprehensive 4-year follow-up project involving government authorities and the waste disposal facilities of the importing countries. A total of five countries and nine plants were visited in 2001-2002. The following outcomes can be drawn from these investigations. The Chinese government adopts the strategies of 'on-site processing' and 'relative centralization' on the waste management by tightening permitting and increasing site inspection. A three-level reviewing system is adopted for the import application. The United States have not signed the Basel Convention yet; the procedures of hazardous waste import rely on bilateral agreements. Importers are not required to provide official notification from the waste exporting countries. The operation, administration, monitoring and licensing of waste treatment plants are governed by the state environmental bureau. Finland, France and Belgium are members of the European Union. The procedures and policies of waste import are similar. All of the documents associated with transboundary movement require the approval of each government involved. Practically, the notification forms and tracking forms effectively manage the waste movement.     

Fetus in fetu—from prenatal ultrasound and MRI diagnosis to postnatal confirmation

We report a case of fetus in fetu presented as a complex intra-abdominal heterogeneous cystic lesion during ultrasound examination of the fetus at 25 weeks of gestation. Progressive growth of this mass was noted in the prenatal period. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging provided additional information to aid in the prenatal diagnosis. This allows proper counselling for the parents and helps to plan the postnatal management. Surgical excision was carried out in the early neonatal period and the diagnosis of fetus in fetu was confirmed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
