Perverse Incentive Structure and Policy Implementation Gap in China's Local Environmental Politics

The obvious paradox within China's environmental politics is the big gap between the central government's policy and its implementation outcomes at local levels. Despite concerns about implementation at the local level, much about the role of central governments in China's local environmental politics is still poorly understood. This article examines how the incentive structure set by the central authorities affects the policy implementation gap at the local level. Drawing on fieldwork and document analysis, this article argues that the incentives set by the central government regarding environmental policy implementation at local levels are perversely structured, meaning that the central government provides much more incentive for local governments' non-implementation or poor implementation of its environmental policies than it provides for full implementation. The central government's failure to encourage—politically, financially, as well as morally—local government officials to appropriately implement environmental policies can partly explain the production of the policy implementation gap at the local level. This implementation gap cannot be overcome by efforts at the local level unless the central government takes significant measures to address the perverse incentive structure embedded in the overall structure of China's local environmental politics.     

Type 0092丝状菌污泥微膨胀在短程硝化中的实现

利用Type 0092丝状菌不易引发污泥恶性膨胀的特点,本实验采用实际生活污水,以SBR反应器接种短程硝化污泥,考察了短程硝化状态下启动Type 0092丝状菌污泥微膨胀的特性,研究了系统启动与维持期间的污泥沉降性能、亚硝酸盐积累率(NAR)、污染物去除特性以及污泥菌群结构变化情况.结果表明控制DO为0. 3～0. 8 mg·L~(-1),F/M(以COD/MLSS计)=0. 24 kg·(kg·d)~(-1),按照交替缺氧/好氧模式运行(单周期3次,缺氧∶好氧=20 min∶60 min),能够启动Type 0092丝状菌污泥微膨胀与短程硝化耦合,系统SVI值维持在180 m L·g~(-1)左右,NAR一直维持在99%左右,COD和TN去除率能够分别提高约13%和5%,相较于传统全程硝化非微膨胀状态曝气量能节省约62. 5%.当交替缺氧/好氧模式变为单周期交替6次,缺氧∶好氧=10 min∶30 min,亚硝酸盐氧化菌(NOB)的活性会恢复,使短程硝化被破坏;低溶解氧、交替缺氧/好氧、低负荷是实现Type 0092丝状菌污泥微膨胀的关键因素,当负荷(以COD/MLSS计)大于0. 25 kg·(kg·d)~(-1)时,仅靠低溶解氧和间歇曝气无法维持污泥微膨胀状态.     

扬州市不同功能区表层土壤中多环芳烃的含量、来源及其生态风险

对扬州市6个不同功能区（公园、菜地、文教区、居民区、加油站和工业区）共59个表层土壤样品（0~10 cm）中15种美国环境保护署优控的多环芳烃（PAHs）的含量和来源进行了分析,并利用苯并[a]芘（BaP）毒性当量浓度（TEQ_BaP）评价了土壤中PAHs的生态风险.结果表明,扬州市土壤中Σ15PAHs总量范围为21~36118 μg·kg^-1,中值为295 μg·kg^-1,PAHs组成中以4~6环为主.不同功能区Σ15PAHs总量平均值高低顺序为工业区 > 加油站 > 文教区 > 菜地 > 居民区 > 公园.相关性分析表明,整个扬州市土壤中Σ15PAHs总量与土壤总有机碳（TOC）（P<0.05）和黑碳（BC）（P<0.01）含量都呈显著性正相关,但除了加油站土壤中Σ15PAHs总量与BC含量呈显著性正相关（P<0.01）外,不同功能区土壤中Σ15PAHs总量与TOC、BC含量都无显著相关性.特征比值法结果表明,不同功能区土壤中PAHs来源虽有些差异,但都主要来源于石油泄漏以及石油、煤和生物质等的燃烧.扬州市土壤中15种PAHs总TEQ_BaP值的范围是2~4448 μg·kg^-1.以荷兰土壤环境标准中的10种PAHs总TEQ_BaP值33 μg·kg^-1为标准,扬州市有45.8%的土样超标,各功能区点位超标率高低顺序为工业区（70%） > 加油站（60%） > 文教区（55.6%） > 菜地（50.0%） > 居民区（30%） > 公园（10%）.因此,扬州市不同功能区中都有部分表层土壤存在潜在的生态风险,工业区和加油站风险相对较高,而居民区和公园风险相对较低.     

北京地区秋冬季大气污染特征及成因分析

为了研究近两年北京地区PM2. 5污染特征及成因变化,利用常规观测资料和改进的后向轨迹模型(Traj Stat)对2016～2017年秋冬季大气重污染时段的颗粒物浓度、气象要素和气团传输路径进行了综合分析.结果表明,研究期间北京地区共发生13次持续2 d以上的重污染事件,冬季过程约占61. 5%,且污染程度和持续时间均高于秋季.地面受弱气压场控制、高湿度、静小风以及较低的混合层高度,加之北京三面环山的特殊地势是导致秋冬季静稳型污染频发的重要因素,重污染期间PM2. 5/PM10的平均比值高达0. 86.累积阶段气团主要来自于西北、偏西、西南和东南方向,其中西南和东南路径为典型污染传输通道,轨迹频率为21. 6%.此外,采用WRF-CAMx模型定量估算了2016年12月16～22日典型过程中本地和外来污染源对北京PM2. 5的贡献,结果发现不同气团输送条件下,二者的贡献差异较大.当南部气团输入时,本地贡献会显著下降,以外部区域输送为主导;若气流来自西北方向情况则相反.污染过程期间,本地贡献为16. 5%～69. 3%.     

Contents and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and organochlorine pesticides in vegetable soils of Guangzhou, China

We investigated contents, distribution and possible sources of PAHs and organochlorine pesticides (Ops) in 43 surface and subsurface soils around the urban Guangzhou where variable kinds of vegetables are grown. The results indicate that the contents of PAHs (16 US EPA priority PAHs) range from 42 to 3077 microg/kg and the pollution extent is classified as a moderate level in comparison with other investigations and soil quality standards. The ratios of methylphenanthrenes to phenanthrene(MP/P), anthracene to anthracene plus phenanthrene (An/178), benz[a]anthracene to benz[a]anthracene plus chrysene (BaA/228), indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene to indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene plus benzo[ghi]perylene (In/In+BP) suggest that the sources of PAHs in the soil samples are mixed with a dominant contribution from petroleum and combustion of fossil fuel. The correlation analysis shows that the PAHs contents are significantly related to total organic carbon contents (TOC) (R2=0.75) and black carbon contents (BC) (R2=0.62) in the soil samples. Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and metabolites (DDTs) and hexachlorocyclohexanes and metabolites (HCHs) account largely for the contaminants of OPs. The concentrations of DDTs range from 3.58 to 831 microg/kg and the ratios for DDT/(DDD+DDE) are higher than 2 in some soil samples, suggesting that DDT contamination still exists and may be caused by its persistence in soils and/or impurity in the pesticide dicofol. The concentrations of HCHs are 0.19-42.3 microg/kg.     

Analysis of the mechanism of the impact of internet development on green economic growth: evidence from 269 prefecture cities in China

As the digital economy develops rapidly and the network information technology advances, new development models represented by the network economy have emerged, which have a crucial impact on green economic growth. However, the relevant previous studies lacked the role of analyzing the direct and indirect effects of internet development on green economic growth at the prefecture-level city level. For this purpose, this paper aims to examine the intrinsic mechanism of the impact of internet development on green economic growth and provide empirical support for cities and regions in China to increase internet construction. Furthermore, the mixed model (EBM), which includes both radial and non-radial distance functions, is applied to calculate the green economic growth index. Fixed effect model and mediation effect model are also employed to test influence mechanisms of the internet development on green economic growth using panel data of 269 prefecture-level cities in China from 2004 to 2019. The statistical results reveal that internet development has contributed significantly to green economic growth. When the internet development level increases by 1 unit, the green economic growth level increases by an average of 5.0372 units. However, regional heterogeneity is evident between internet development and green economic growth, that is, the promoting effect of internet development on green economic growth is gradually enhanced from the eastern region to the western region. We also find that internet development guides industrial structure upgrading improves environmental quality and accelerates enterprise innovation, which indirectly contributes to green economic growth. And internet development mainly achieves green economic growth through enterprise innovation. Based on the above findings, we concluded that policymakers should not only strengthen the guiding role of social actors to promote the stable development of the internet industry, but also foster the construction of the three models of “internet+industry integration,” “internet+environmental governance,” and “internet+enterprise innovation” to promote green economic growth.

     

附加电场对中空纤维膜污染的减缓作用

通过对新型附加电场的中空纤维膜组件的实验室研究,探讨了电场对缓解微滤膜污染的作用.在恒定流量下过滤含有20mg/L腐殖酸的原水,无电压时,跨膜压力从0.0200MPa上升到0.0300MPa耗时2h,而施加60V电压时该时间段延长至10h.研究表明,原水中的腐殖酸在电场中发生电泳迁移,减少了向膜表面的移动,其对膜的污染被减缓;同时腐殖酸在电场中发生凝聚现象,沉积在膜表面形成疏松的滤饼层,是跨膜压力增加缓慢的另一原因.

从小麦根际土壤中分离到一株对多种植物病原真菌有拮抗作用且产蛋白酶的枯草芽孢杆菌 Bacillus subtilis T2.经紫外线(UV)和硫酸二乙酯(DES)诱变处理,获得具有良好遗传稳定性的蛋白酶正负突变株.与出发菌株相比,培养48 h的正突变株胞外蛋白酶活力提高108.5%,负突变株蛋白酶活力降低81.1%,而二者的几丁质酶和β-1.3-葡聚糖酶活力均无显著变化.正突变株对棉花枯萎病菌(Fusarium oxysporum f. Sp. Vasinfectum)的平板拮抗作用增强,其粗酶液可使该菌菌丝变形膨大成珠状、原生质浓缩,萌发的孢子芽管短且畸形膨大;负突变株对该菌的平板拮抗作用显著降低,粗酶液对该菌菌丝和孢子的形态无明显作用.表明提高生防芽孢杆菌胞外蛋白酶的活力可增强其拮抗病原真菌的能力.
