Tracking historical lead pollution in the coastal area adjacent to the Yangtze River Estuary using lead isotopic compositions

The rapid economic development in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), China in the last three decades has had a significant impact on the environment of the East China Sea (ECS). Lead isotopic compositions of a ²¹⁰Pb dated sediment core collected from the coastal ECS adjacent to the Yangtze River Estuary were analyzed to track the Pb pollution in the region. The baseline Pb concentration in the coastal ECS sediments before the industrialization in China was 32 μg g⁻¹, and the corresponding ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb ratio was 1.195. The high-resolution profiles of Pb flux and ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb ratios had close relationships with the economic development and the history of the use of leaded gasoline in China, and they were clearly different from those of most European countries and United States.

固定化海带生物吸附剂的制备及其吸附Ni2+的动力学特性

以海藻酸钠、明胶和海带粉为原料制备了固定化海带生物吸附剂。固定化海带生物吸附剂对Ni2＋的吸附过程可分为3个阶段：快速吸附阶段、缓慢吸附阶段和吸附平衡阶段。动力学过程可用Lagergren准二级反应动力学方程描述,限速步骤为化学吸附。随Ni2＋初始质量浓度的增加,固定化海带生物吸附剂的Ni2＋吸附量逐渐增大,Ni2＋去除率逐渐降低。吸附过程符合Langmuir和Freundlich吸附等温方程,说明该吸附体系既有物理吸附又有化学吸附,从吸附状态看属于多层吸附,由Langmuir吸附等温方程得出固定化海带生物吸附剂对Ni2＋的最大吸附量为39．43mg／g,说明固定化海带生物吸附剂对Ni2＋有较好的吸附性能。

聚丙烯酰胺在盐碱土壤中的吸附与迁移

采用静态吸附法研究了聚丙烯酰胺（PAM）在大庆市盐碱土中的吸附行为,并通过室内土柱实验研究了PAM在盐碱土中的自然迁移和模拟降雨情况下的迁移行为。实验结果表明,随吸附时间延长、液固比增大,PAM在盐碱土中的吸附量逐渐增大。PAM在盐碱土中的饱和吸附条件为液固比25,平衡吸附时间8h,在此条件下得出的PAM在盐碱土中的吸附等温线符合Langmuir等温吸附模型,饱和吸附量为0．81mg/g.PAM在盐碱土中的迁移规律为：沿地表随盐碱土深度增加,PAM的含量减少。PAM溶液淋滤量越大,迁移深度越深,各层土壤中PAM的含量也相应增加。降雨迫使PAM沿地表向下多迁移1cm,迁移深度在5—6cm。盐碱土对PAM的截留能力较强,意外泄漏的PAM主要集中在地表下3cm以内处,占总淋滤量的86．1％～99．9％。PAM在大庆市盐碱土中的迁移深度不超过10cm。     

Persistence and fate of 17beta-estradiol and testosterone in agricultural soils

Steroidal hormones are constantly released into the environment by man-made and natural sources. The goal of this study was to examine the persistence and fate of 17beta-estradiol and testosterone, the two primary natural sex hormones. Incubation experiments were conducted under aerobic and anaerobic conditions using [4-(14)C]-radiolabeled 17beta-estradiol and testosterone. The results indicated that 6% of 17beta-estradiol and 63% of testosterone could be mineralized to (14)CO(2) in native soils under aerobic conditions. In native soils under anaerobic conditions, 2% of testosterone and no 17beta-estradiol was methanogenized to (14)CH(4). Essentially, no mineralization of either testosterone or 17beta-estradiol to (14)CO(2) occurred in autoclaved soils under aerobic or anaerobic condition. Results also indicated that 17beta-estradiol could be transformed to an unidentified polar compound through abiotic chemical processes; however, 17beta-estradiol was only oxidized to estrone via biological processes. The TLC results also indicated that testosterone was degraded, not by physical-chemical processes but by biological processes. Results also indicated that the assumed risks of estrogenic hormones in the environment might be over-estimated due to the soil's humic substances, which can immobilize majority of estrogenic hormones, and thereby reduce their bioavailability and toxicity.     

Residual concentrations of micropollutants in benthic mussels in the coastal areas of Bohai Sea, North China

Studies of heavy metals and organic pollutants in different benthic mussel species from Bohai Sea show that concentrations of Cd in mussels commonly exceed national biological quality standards. In addition, a site located in Laizhou Bay exhibits higher average concentrations of As, Hg and Pb with respect to the other sites. Residual levels of petroleum hydrocarbons at several sites in Liaodong Bay also exceed quality guidelines. Contents and compositional characteristics of DDT and its metabolites in mussels suggest the probability of recent inputs and potential ecological risks to the local benthic environment.

Long-term declining in carbon monoxide(CO) at a rural site of Beijing during 2006–2018 implies the improved combustion efficiency and effective emission control

Carbon monoxide(CO) is primarily the result of incomplete combustion, which has important impacts on the atmospheric chemical cycle and climate. Improved quantitative characterization of long-term CO trends is important for both atmospheric modeling and the design and implementation of policies to efficiently control multiple pollutants. Due to the limitations of high time-resolution and high-quality long-term observational data, studies on long-term trends in the CO concentration in China are q...
