Formaldehyde concentration and its influencing factors in residential homes after decoration at Hangzhou, China

Air pollution surveys of formaldehyde(HCHO) were conducted in 2324 rooms decorated within one year in 2007-2009 in Hangzhou,China.The mean HCHO concentration(C HCHO) was 0.107 ± 0.095 mg/m 3,and 38.9% of samples exceeded the Chinese National Standard GB 50325-2010.Over the past 3 years,the C HCHO decreased with time(p < 0.05).Relationships of potential factors to indoor C HCHO were also evaluated.C HCHO was related to temperature(T),relative humidity(RH),time duration of the windows and doors being closed before sampling(DC),time duration from the end of decoration to sampling(DR) and source characteristics(d).A model to relate indoor C HCHO to these five factors(T,RH,DC,DR,d) was established based on 298 samples(R 2 = 0.87).Various factors contributed to C HCHO in the following order:T,43.7%;d,31.0%;DC,10.2%;DR,8.0%;RH,7.0%;specifically,meteorological conditions(i.e.,RH plus T) accounted for 50.7%.The coefficient of T and RH,R TH,was proposed to describe their combined influence on HCHO emission,which also had a linear relationship(R 2 = 0.9387) with HCHO release in a simulation chamber test.In addition,experiments confirm that it is a synergistic action as T and RH accelerate the release of HCHO,and that is a significant factor influencing indoor HCHO pollution.These achievements could lead to reference values of measures for the efficient reduction of indoor HCHO pollution.     

我国地级及以上城市臭氧污染来源及控制区划分

为划分我国臭氧污染控制区,制定更加科学合理的臭氧污染控制措施,根据2018年地面臭氧浓度监测数据,分析了全国338个地级及以上城市的臭氧超标情况,利用TCEQ方法计算出各城市的本地生成O₃量与区域传输O₃量,对本地生成O₃量与O₃日最大8 h平均值进行相关性分析,根据决定系数（R²）确定了各城市臭氧污染的主要来源.结果表明,2018年全国共有121个城市O₃浓度超标,超标率达35.8%;104个城市本地生成O₃对当地O₃污染影响较大,是O₃污染的主要来源;另外234个城市O₃污染的主要来源则以区域传输O₃为主.利用城市O₃超标情况与O₃污染来源将城市分为4类：超标-以本地生成O₃为主的城市（N-L）、超标-以区域传输O₃为主的城市（N-T）、达标-以本地生成O₃为主的城市（S-L）和达标-以区域传输O₃为主的城市（S-T）.最终根据各个省份中4类城市的占比,将全国划分为3类控制区：重度控制区、中度控制区及一般控制区.重度控制区中的N-L城市在3类控制区中占比最多（20.3%）,污染最为严重;中度控制区中4类城市的占比均属于中等水平;一般控制区中S-T城市占比最多（65.4%）,污染程度较轻.     

低温燃烧合成纳米Ni掺杂TiO2光催化剂的表征及活性研究

采用低温燃烧合成法制备了Ni掺杂TiO₂光催化剂,通过紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)、X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、激光散射、热重-差示扫描量热分析(TG-DSC)等方法对催化剂的光吸收特性、晶相组成、粒度分布、升温过程中化学变化等进行了表征,以亚甲基蓝为模型污染物考察了催化剂在可见光下的光催化活性.结果表明,相对P25而言,Ni掺杂TiO₂的光吸收带边红移,当Ni/Ti原子比为0.4时,催化剂的带隙宽度为2.3eV,对应的吸收带边为564nm;催化剂晶型以锐钛矿TiO₂为主,随Ni掺杂量增大,NiTiO₃比例升高;催化剂粒径主要分布在50～150nm之间,占总量的96.9%;升温过程中催化剂在445.2℃发生晶型转化,出现锐钛矿和NiTiO₃晶体.催化剂显示出较高的催化活性,在可见光作用150min后最高可使93.9%的亚甲基蓝分解,活性高于P25.     

络合沉淀结合混凝法去除浮选废水中有机磷

广西某铅锌矿选矿厂用含磷有机浮选药剂苯胺黑药(学名:二苯胺基二硫代磷酸)和丁铵黑药(学名:二丁基二硫代磷酸铵)作捕收剂,导致尾矿库溢流口外排废水总磷超标(总磷浓度为1.4~1.7 mg/L,p H=8.0)。实验研究表明,含巯基磷酸盐浮选废水中总磷主要为有机磷(占94%),钙盐、铁盐和铝盐混凝沉淀法对有机磷去除效果很差,3种金属离子不能与巯基磷酸盐反应生成沉淀物;但铜离子能与巯基磷酸盐生成溶度积很小的络合沉淀物,再通过混凝沉淀对有机磷可达到很好的去除效果。先加入硫酸铜20 mg/L进行络合沉淀反应,后再加入40 mg/L硫酸铝和1 mg/L PAM混凝沉淀,总磷去除率可达80%。处理后废水总磷浓度和重金属浓度均达到《铅、锌工业污染物排放标准(GB25466-2010)》排放要求。研究结果为该选矿厂浮选废水净化处理和回用工程的设计提供了科学依据。     

Typical atmospheric haze during crop harvest season in northeastern China: A case in the Changchun region

This study presents the mass concentrations of PM_(2.5),O_3,SO_2 and NOxat one urban,one suburban and two rural locations in the Changchun region from September 25 to October 272013. Major chemical components of PM_(2.5)at the four sites were daily sampled and analyzed. Most of daily concentrations of SO_2(7–82 μg/m~3),O_3(27–171 μg/m~3) and NOx(14–213 μg/m~3) were below the limits of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard(NAAQS)in China. However,PM_(2.5)concentrations(143–168 μg/m~3) were 2-fold higher than NAAQS.Higher PM_(2.5)concentrations(~ 150 μg/m~3) were measured during the pre-harvest and harvest at the urban site,while PM_(2.5)concentrations significantly increased from 250 to400 μg m~(-3) at suburban and rural sites with widespread biomass burning. At all sites,PM_(2.5)components were dominated by organic carbon(OC) and followed by soluble component sulfate(SO_4~(2-)),ammonium(NH_4~+) and nitrate(NO_3~-). Compared with rural sites,urban site had a higher mineral contribution and lower potassium(K~+and K) contribution to PM_(2.5).Severe atmospheric haze events that occurred from October 21 to 23 were attributed to strong source emissions(e.g.,biomass burning) and unfavorable air diffusion conditions.Furthermore,coal burning originating from winter heating supply beginning on October 18 increased the atmospheric pollutant emissions. For entire crop harvest period,the Positive Matrix Factorization(PMF) analysis indicated five important emission contributors in the Changchun region,as follows: secondary aerosol(39%),biomass burning(20%),supply heating(18%),soil/road dust(14%) and traffic(9%).     

北京市密云县潮河周边土壤中类二恶英PCBs分析评价

为了探讨密云水库上游流域可能给水库带来的非点源污染,本研究测定了入库河流潮河下游周边土壤中12种类二恶英多氯联苯(DL-PCBs)的含量水平。结果表明,ΣDL-PCBs的总含量水平为0.0039~0.0365 ng·g-1,其中PCB-118,115,77为12种DL-PCBs的主要成分,PCB-81,114,157均低于检出限。草地、林地和果园中ΣDL-PCBs的含量高于玉米地,表明研究区的DL-PCBs主要受大气沉降和河流沉积物的影响,受当地人类活动影响不大。与其他研究相比,采样区域的PCBs含量总体处于偏低水平,毒性当量处于中等水平。而毒性当量因子(TEF)较高的PCB-126与PCB-169,可能会对人类和生物产生危害,应给予足够的重视。     

广西特有植物瑶山苣苔的濒危原因及保护对策

瑶山苣苔(Dayaoshania cotinifolia W.T.Wang)是苦苣苔科多年生草本植物,为国家Ⅰ级重点保护野生植物.在2004-2006年对瑶山苣苔资源现状、生物学和生态学特性调查的基础上,探讨了瑶山苣苔的濒危原因及解濒措施.结果表明,人为原因是导致瑶山苣苔濒危的最主要原因;其次是昆虫对瑶山苣果实的捕食显著减少了种子数量;第三,瑶山苣苔同有的生物学特性限制其种群数量增加.为更好的保护瑶山苣苔,作者建议采用就地保护策略,即建立金秀老山自然保护区独木桥和青年工区两个瑶山苣苔保护点,有效地保护该种群及其分布生境;同时加强瑶山苣苔的科学研究,实施迁地保护.     

Nitrogen deposition and its ecological impact in China: An overview

Nitrogen (N) deposition is an important component in the global N cycle that has induced large impacts on the health and services of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Anthropogenic reactive N (N_r) emissions to the atmosphere have increased dramatically in China due to rapid agricultural, industrial and urban development. Therefore increasing N deposition in China and its ecological impacts are of great concern since the 1980s. This paper synthesizes the data from various published papers to assess the status of the anthropogenic N_r emissions and N deposition as well as their impacts on different ecosystems, including empirical critical loads for different ecosystems. Research challenges and policy implications on atmospheric N pollution and deposition are also discussed. China urgently needs to establish national networks for N deposition monitoring and cross-site N addition experiments in grasslands, forests and aquatic ecosystems. Critical loads and modeling tools will be further used in N_r regulation.     

The addition of FeOOH binds phosphate in organic matter-rich sediments

Due to climate change and anthropogenic nutrients’ runoff into freshwater or shallow lakes, eutrophication caused by phosphorus (P) can be seen in the frequent occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms and excessive growth of macrophytes. Subsequently, decomposition of cyanobacterial bloom biomass (CBB) and macrophytes leads to massive autochthonous organic matter (OM) and creates hypoxia in bodies of water. In this study, we investigated the effects of OM and iron on phosphorus release from lake sediments under anaerobic conditions. As with CBB, the addition of cellulose also enhanced P release from sediments during microcosm experiments, while total phosphorus (TP) concentration in the overlying water displayed an inverse relationship to cellulose amendment, with high TP concentration (0.41?±?0.07?mg?L^?1) observed in the treatment of less cellulose amendment (1?g of cellulose). In addition, P release from OM-rich sediments was effectively inhibited when amorphous FeOOH was added to the microcosms. P release was inhibited by 66–92% when the weight ratio between total Fe and total P in sediments varied from 18 to 60. Thus, iron treatment was useful to inhibit P release from OM-rich sediments, and could alleviate eutrophication problems.
