Evaluation of the RAMS Continuous Monitor for Determination of PM2.5 Mass Including Semi-Volatile Material in Philadelphia,PA

Abstract

The real-time ambient mass sampler (RAMS) is a continuous monitor based on particle concentrator, denuder, drier, and tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) monitor technology. It is designed to measure PM_2.5 mass, including the semi-volatile species NH₄NO₃ and semi-volatile organic material, but not to measure PM_2.5 water content. The performance of the RAMS in an urban environment with high humidity was evaluated during the July 1999 NARSTO-Northeast Oxidant and Particles Study (NEOPS) intensive study at the Baxter water treatment plant in Philadelphia, PA. The results obtained with the RAMS were compared to mass measurements made with a TEOM monitor and to constructed mass obtained with a Particle Concentrator-Brigham Young University Organic Sampling System (PC-BOSS) sampler designed to determine the chemical composition of fine particles, including the semi-volatile species. An average of 28% of the fine particulate material present during the study was semi-volatile organic material lost from a filter during particle collection, and 1% was NH₄NO₃ that was also lost from the particles during sampling. The remaining mass was dominantly nonvolatile (NH₄)₂SO₄ (31%) and organic material (37%), with minor amounts of soot, crustal material, and nonvolatile NH₄NO₃. Comparison of the RAMS and PC-BOSS results indicated that the RAMS correctly monitored for fine particulate mass, including the semi-volatile material. In contrast, the heated filter of the TEOM monitor did not measure the semi-volatile material. The comparison of the RAMS and PC-BOSS data had a precision of ±4.1 μg/m³ (±9.6%). The precision of the RAMS data was limited by the uncertainty in the blank correction for the reversible adsorption of water by the charcoal-impregnated cellulose sorbent filter of the RAMS monitor. The precision of the measurement of fine par-ticulate components by the PC-BOSS was ±6-8%.     

罗布泊“大耳朵”地区沉积物重金属含量及空间分布特征

以罗布泊"大耳朵"地区为研究区域,利用石墨炉原子吸收分光光度计(GF-990)和火焰原子吸收分光光度计(AAS-990)分析测试了沉积物中Pb、Cu、Ni和Mn元素的总量,并测定了沉积物中有机质的含量,运用SPSS软件分析了各重金属总量与有机质之间的相互关系。结果表明:罗布泊"大耳朵"地区盐壳层沉积物中Pb含量的变化范围在2.57~58.63 mg/kg,Cu含量的变化范围在6.33~39.65 mg/kg,Ni含量的变化范围在5.55~46.33 mg/kg,Mn含量的变化范围在46.33~1474.60 mg/kg;除Pb的垂直分布随着深度的增加其含量减少并趋于稳定外,重金属Cu、Ni和Mn的总量在各剖面垂直方向上大部分呈波折多峰行分布,分布趋势差异较大;重金属Pb、Cu、Ni和Mn与有机质都存在显著相关性。

表面活性剂强化超滤法处理亚甲基蓝废水

采用无机陶瓷超滤膜和低浓度阴离子表面活性剂十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)处理亚甲基蓝(MB)模拟废水,考察了废水中SDBS、MB浓度及废水pH对超滤过程的影响.实验结果表明:SDBS浓度影响MB在最大吸收波长处的吸光度值;当废水中SDBS浓度为1.20 mmol/L(即25℃时的临界胶束浓度)、废水中MB浓度为1.00 mmol/L、废水pH为9.0时,超滤效果最好;在此条件下,透过液中SDBS浓度和MB浓度分别为0.06 mmoL/L和0.01 mmol/L,MB的截留率为99.2%,膜通量为309.6 L/(m~2·h).SDBS对MB超滤过程的强化机理主要为MB与SDBS形成结合体析出及SDBS胶束的增溶作用.     

汞胁迫对小麦幼苗抗氧化酶活性的影响

通过营养液培养实验,研究了小麦幼苗在遭受汞胁迫后,地上部及根系抗氧化酶活性的变化．试验表明:小麦幼苗受到汞胁迫后,地上部及根系的超氧化物歧化酶(ＳＯＤ)的活性均显著增加,过氧化氢酶(ＣＡＴ) 的活性也比对照有所增强,但不如ＳＯＤ酶变化迅速,表明ＳＯＤ酶活性是小麦幼苗遭受汞胁迫时比较敏感的生物标记物．但是,小麦幼苗地上部及根系的丙二醛(ＭＤＡ) 含量仍均比对照显著升高,表明小麦幼苗的膜系统受到了一定程度的破坏．试验同时还反映出,汞胁迫对小麦幼苗根系的影响强于对地上部的影响．
