Investigation of microplastic pollution on paddy fields in Xiangtan City,Southern China

Microplastics (MPs) have become a hot issue of environmental pollution. However, insufficient evidence exists regarding the distributions and fates of MPs in terrestrial environment, especially in farmlands. The distributions of MPs in paddy fields were investigated in Xiangtan City, a typical rice production area in China. The abundance of MPs in paddy seedling raising fields was 3805?±?511 n·kg^?1, which increased by approximately 9 times than that in common paddy fields. Transparent films became the dominant forms due to the huge usage of mulching films, corresponding to that the proportion of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) increased to 17% there. Moreover, an industrial plant nearby also contributed considerably to the MP pollution; the proportion of PVC (33%) in the paddy fields nearby increased to approximately 4 times of common paddy fields, while polyvinyl alcohol (PVA; 13%) used as an important chemical raw material to synthesis in various applications was uniquely detected there. These results highlight the input of MPs from agricultural and industrial activities in farmlands. Their contributions to the MP pollution in farmlands should be continuously investigated.

     

基于QAR数据的中国民航飞行排放清单估计研究

近年来中国民用航空迅速发展，产生了大量的排放物，需要准确的排放清单来评估民航行业对环境的影响.针对现有的研究在估算精度与覆盖范围上存在的不足，本文利用了飞机QAR数据构建了估算单次飞行燃油消耗量与包括HC、CO、NOx、PM、SO2以及CO2在内的排放物生成量的方法，并采用自下而上的方法，对2018年1月—2021年11月在中国国内民航活动产生的排放物进行了统计.在估算时考虑了机型、起飞机场和降落机场对飞行各阶段持续时间的影响.从排放模式来看，不同机场的飞行在LTO阶段的平均排放量存在差异，总的来说，机场规模越大，单次飞行排放量越多，大多数排放物在CCD阶段排放且该阶段的排放量与飞行时间存在明显的线性关系.2018年和2019年的排放量保持了上升，CO2排放量分别为73.17 ×10⁶ t和76.85 ×10⁶ t，但自从2019年12月受到新冠疫情影响后，排放量与航班量随疫情控制情况波动，2020年和2021年1月—11月CO2排放量分别为61.51 ×10⁶ t和60.08 ×10⁶ t.为了探究新冠疫情对排放物的影响，采用差分整合移动平均自回归模型对无疫情时2019年12月之后的排放量进行了估计，结果表明新冠疫情爆发后，到2021年11月为止各种排放物的排放量减少了20%左右.
