Influence of vegetation on the removal of heavy metals and nutrients in a constructed wetland

A free water surface wetland was built to treat wastewater containing metals (Cr, Ni, Zn) and nutrients from a tool factory in Argentina. Water, sediment and macrophytes were sampled in the inlet and outlet area of the constructed wetland during three years. Three successive phases of vegetation dominance were developed and three different patterns of contaminant retention were observed. During the Eichhornia crassipes dominance, contaminants were retained in the macrophyte biomass; during the E. crassipes+Typha domingensis stage, contaminants were retained in the sediment and in the T. domingensis dominance stage, contaminants were retained in sediment and in the macrophyte biomass. Removal efficiency was not significantly different among the three vegetation stages, except for NH(4)(+) and i-P(diss). Because of its highest tolerance, T. domingensis is the best choice to treat wastewater of high pH and conductivity with heavy metals, a common result from many industrial processes.

双台子河口国家自然保护区红海滩景观退化机制研究

双台子河口国家自然保护区的红海滩景观由生长在潮间带的天然翅碱篷(Suaeda heteroptera)群落形成,是世界上数量最大的黑嘴鸥(Larus saundersi)的觅食和繁殖场所.近年来,由于翅碱篷群落大面积萎缩,黑嘴鸥数量急剧减少.通过现场监测和实验模拟,对潮间带翅碱蓬群落的生态学特性和红海滩景观退化机制进行了研究.潮间带翅碱篷是一种非常特殊的植物群落,只生长在特定标高的有周期性潮汐作用的滩涂上,过高或过低均不能生长.潮汐是保证翅碱篷在高盐度潮间带正常生长的重要自然力,可以及时洗脱翅碱篷排出体外的大量盐分,避免盐分结晶形成盐鞘使植物受害死亡.研究发现,潮间带翅碱篷群落退化的原因是由于滩涂因泥沙沉积抬升,潮位降低造成的,而拦海坝的修筑是导致滩涂快速升高的直接原因.采取必要的工程措施,翅碱篷群落是可以人工恢复的.

Chemical characteristics of long-range transport aerosol at background sites in Korea

In this study, background concentration sites of Deokjeok and Gosan, which were deemed suitable for monitoring the impact of long-range transported air pollutants, were selected. An investigation of the source types of pollutants, their locations, and relative quantitative contributions to the particulate concentrations at both sites using appropriate methodologies to make initial estimations was conducted. Episodic measurements of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and size distribution, along with its ion and carbon components were performed from 2005 to 2007, and a comprehensive analysis of the results was conducted utilizing back trajectory analysis. As for frequency of wind direction, it was quite apparent that the two sites are heavily influenced by air masses originating from the eastern and northern regions of China. For PM_2.5 and PM₁₀, the mass concentrations from north and east China were higher than other cases, originating from the ocean. In the northerly-wind case, meteorological properties for Deokjeok and Gosan and the influence of carbon emissions from northwest Korea resulted in a changing of air mass properties during transport. As was the case with mass concentration, the highest contribution for ionic and carbon components of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ for both sites appeared for the westerly wind case. A specially high relative contribution, greater than 1.4 times, was apparent in the secondary aerosol case because of a large influence of long-range transported pollutants from east China. Carbon components exhibited different behaviors for the northerly and westerly wind cases compared with secondary aerosol. The major reason for this discrepancy appears to be the carbon emissions from northwest Korea.     

The gas/particle partitioning of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons collected at a sub-Arctic site in Canada

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were measured in air samples at a remote air monitoring site established in the Yukon Territory, Canada as part of a global project (International Polar Year; IPY) to study the potential for atmospheric long-range transport of anthropogenic pollutants to the Arctic. Gas- and particle-phase PAH were collected in polyurethane foam plugs and on glass fibre filters respectively from August 2007 to October 2009. PAH concentrations were found to be highest in the winter months and lowest in summer. The gas/particle partitioning coefficients of 3–5 ringed PAH were computed and seasonal averages were compared. In the summer time, lower molecular mass PAH exhibited relatively higher partitioning into the particle-phase. This particle-phase partitioning led to the shallowest slopes being recorded during summer for the log–log correlation plots between the PAH partition coefficients and their sub-cooled vapour pressures. Air mass back trajectories suggest that local impacts may be more important during the summer time which is marked by increased camping activities at camping sites in the proximity of the sampling station. In conclusion, both summer and wintertime variations in PAH concentrations and gas/particle partitioning are considered to be source- and phototransformation-dependent rather than dependent on temperature-driven shifts in equilibrium partitioning.
