Determination of selected neonicotinoid insecticides by liquid chromatography with thermal lens spectrometric detection

We studied the analysis of trace amounts of neonicotinoid insecticides by liquid chromatography coupled with a thermal lens spectrometric detector (TLS). This multi-residue analysis method is based on the reversed phase separation on C₁₈ column, isocratic elution and collinear dual beam TLS detection. The insecticides thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, acetamiprid and thiacloprid were detected with retention times of 4.4, 5.7, 6.5 and 8.5 min and limits of quantifications of 50, 89, 10, and 25 μg/L, respectively. The retention times agreed well with those obtained by the same chromatographic method but using a diode-array detector (DAD). The limits of quantifications for imidacloprid were identical in both techniques. However, the limits of quantifications for thiamethoxam, acetamiprid and thiacloprid were up to 8.5 times lower using the TLS detector compared to the diode-array detector. The applicability of the developed procedure was tested on spiked river water and potato samples.     

Post-war levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in air from Serbia determined by active and passive sampling methods

For the duration of the war accident in former Yugoslavia, several industrial and military targets were burnt and damaged, resulting in a significant release of persistent organic pollutants. Locations heavily targeted in the attacks were later defined by UNEP as four “hot spots”: Kragujevac, Novi Sad, Pancevo and Bor. We analyzed concentration levels of pollutants collected in 2004 and 2005 in air samples from the city of Kragujevac, Serbia, following the war accident of 1999. Pollutants included polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT), dichloro-diphenyl-dichloroethylene (DDE), dichloro-diphenyl-dichloroethane (DDD) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). We present results obtained during air sampling campaign conducted in July 2004 by the active sampling method; and during September 2004–June 2005 by the passive sampling method. Our findings show the occurrence of residual quantities of DDT, HCH, PCBs and PAHs in air samples. High levels of PCBs are probably due to the destruction of transformers during the war accident.

基于GIS的唐山市综合防灾与生态规划

中国北方东部城市正处于高速发展时期，大部分城市由于处于环太平洋地震带和北纬中度灾害带的交叉部位，灾害问题严重，造成的经济损失巨大。因此，为了城市的可持续发展，必须把城市的生态建设和综合防灾工作结合起来，进行整体规划。通过自然灾害数据库的建立，灾害源、工程地质、建筑和城市生命线等数据的ACCESS数据库分别建立起来了。基于数理统计分析模型的GIS技术，以MAPINFO为平台，采用MAPBASIC开发工具，创建了唐山市综合防灾和生态规划信息管理系统，为唐山市的综合防灾的可持续发展规划提供了建议和依据。     

Factors affecting simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in an SBBR treating domestic wastewater

An aerobic sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) packed with Bauer rings was used to treat real domestic wastewater for simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. The SBBR is advantageous for creating an anoxic condition, and the biofilm can absorb and store carbon for good nitrification and denitrification. An average concentration of oxygen ranging from 0.8 to 4.0 mg/L was proved very efficient for nitrification and denitrification. Volumetric loads of TN dropped dramatically and effluent TN concentration increased quickly when the concentration of average dissolved oxygen was more than 4.0 mg/L. The efficiency of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) increased with increasing thickness of the biofilm. The influent concentration hardly affected the TN removal efficiency, but the effluent TN increased with increasing influent concentration. It is suggested that a subsequence for denitrification be added or influent amount be decreased to meet effluent quality requirements. At optimum operating parameters, the TN removal efficiency of 74%–82% could be achieved. Translated from Acta Scientiae Circumstantiae, 2006, 26(5): 728–733 [译自: 环境科学学报]
