基于人体可给性的重金属污染场地健康风险评价

《国家环境与健康行动计划》(2007—2015)文件指出要提高环境与健康风险评估能力。将基于体外模拟实验的人体可给性应用于污染场地健康风险评估,能够一定程度克服以污染物总量为基准进行风险核算的保守性问题。本研究利用相对可利用度修正毒性参数(经口参考剂量、经口致癌斜率),并对其合理性进行了分析,同时推导了筛选值和致癌风险值/危害商的计算公式。建议:(1)建立符合不同土壤类型的人体可给性方法;(2)建立基于关键影响因子的人体可给性预测模型和基于人体可给性的相对可利用度预测模型;(3)优化健康风险评价计算模型。旨在权衡"污染场地再利用"经济效益和人体健康的关系,完善重金属污染场的健康风险评价体系。     

西藏朋曲流域水电工程地质灾害危险性评价

朋曲流域地质灾害类型多样,对水电工程建设和下游居民的人身财产安全产生了严重威胁。本研究以2009年SPOT5遥感影像为数据源,在研究区地质背景基础上,从基本环境因素、诱发因素和历史因素三个方面选取了坡度、岩性、断层密度、年均降雨量、植被覆盖度和灾害发育密度六个评价因子,通过改进模糊层次分析法获得各因子的相对权重,确定研究区危险性的量化指标。用GIS空间分析功能进行加权叠加,最终生成地质灾害危险性分级图,从而完成对朋曲流域水电工程的地质灾害危险性综合评价。结果表明,朋曲流域的地质灾害总体的危险度为中等,曲当厂址与聂当拉闸址分布于高危险区内,应加强对两处地质灾害的监测。     

紫外诱变对假单胞菌生物特性的影响

室温下,用紫外光对假单胞菌株进行2 min诱变。分别用驯化后紫外诱变和未诱变假单胞菌处理系列浓度(20、100、200、300、400 mg/L)苯酚水样,对比分析其在降解速率、降解时间、微生物呼吸率、酶活性等降解特性方面的差异性。结果表明:假单胞菌经紫外诱变后,对苯酚的耐受性得以提高,去除高浓度苯酚的速率得以提高,处理较高浓度苯酚的能力明显提升。诱变假单胞菌完全降解较高浓度苯酚的时间比未诱变假单胞菌短,诱变假单胞菌对于高浓度苯酚的适应性比未诱变假单胞菌更好。苯酚降解过程中,脱氢酶始终保持着较高的活性,假单胞菌经诱变后其酶活性得以提高。     

美人蕉根系对不同基质结构水平潜流人工湿地水力特性的影响

为了研究植物根系对不同基质结构潜流人工湿地水力特性的影响,根据填料渗透系数,分别设置单层及多层基质结构潜流人工湿地小试实验系统,以美人蕉作为湿地植物,在植物栽种前与成熟后对两系统分别开展示踪试验研究.实验结果表明,美人蕉根系对于单层结构人工湿地水力特性有较明显的改善作用,有效体积从0.49提高到了0.53,短路值由0.60降低到0.41,水力效率提高最大由43%提高到59%.比较而言,植物根系对多层结构湿地有效体积和短路值有轻微负面影响,而对水力效率则有明显的改善作用(由64%提高到83%).此外,植物成熟后,两人工湿地系统中示踪剂回收率均有所下降,其中,单层结构湿地降低较显著,回收率由72%降到62%.可见,植物根系对系统水力特性有较大影响,应在人工湿地设计过程中给予考虑.     

Removal of arsenate with hydrous ferric oxide coprecipitation：Effect of humic acid

Insights from the adverse effect of humic acid(HA) on arsenate removal with hydrous ferric oxide(HFO) coprecipitation can further our understanding of the fate of As(V) in water treatment process. The motivation of our study is to explore the competitive adsorption mechanisms of humic acid and As(V) on HFO on the molecular scale. Multiple complementary techniques were used including macroscopic adsorption experiments, surface enhanced Raman scattering(SERS), extended X-ray absorption fine structure(EXAFS) spectroscopy, flow-cell attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared(ATR-FTIR) measurement, and charge distribution multisite complexation(CDMUSIC) modeling. The As(V) removal efficiency was reduced from over 95% to about 10% with the increasing HA concentration to 25 times of As(V) mass concentration. The SERS analysis excluded the HA-As(V) complex formation. The EXAFS results indicate that As(V) formed bidentate binuclear surface complexes in the presence of HA as evidenced by an As-Fe distance of 3.26–3.31 ?. The in situ ATR-FTIR measurements show that As(V) replaces surface hydroxyl groups and forms innersphere complex. High concentrations of HA may physically block the surface sites and inhibit the As(V) access. The adsorption of As(V) and HA decreased the point of zero charge of HFO from 7.8 to 5.8 and 6.3, respectively. The CD-MUSIC model described the zeta potential curves and adsorption edges of As(V) and HA reasonably well.     

Application of fish index of biological integrity (FIBI) in the Sanmenxia Wetland with water quality implications

Long-term changes of fish biotic integrity in the Sanmenxia Wetland,North China,since the 1950 s were assessed using the fish index of biological integrity（FIBI）. The water and sediment quality was evaluated by the water quality index（WQI） and sediment pollution index（SPI）. The results showed that FIBI continuously decreased from 46 to 20 during the past 5 decades,which indicated that the fish community state shifted from fair to very poor conditions,and damming by itself did not affect the fish biotic integrity. At the same time,WQI fell from 83 to 44.1,and SPI increased from 0.99 to 2.14 since the 1960 s,resulting from fast regional socio-economic development and insufficient wastewater treatment. Correlation analysis suggested that water quality significantly affected biotic integrity（r = 0.867,p 〈 0.05） through direct effects on the fish community. As a representative example of many wetlands in North China,our study clearly demonstrated that the biological integrity was degraded,induced both by water quality deterioration and sediment pollution,further driven by the contradiction between rapid development of regional economy and lagging development of sewage treatment facilities,which were thought to be the main factor responsible for the degradation of biological integrity.     

中山市农业区域土壤-农产品中邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)污染特征

在广东省中山市农业区域范围内共采集了65个表层土样和37个农产品样品,采用GC-FID检测方法分析了土壤和农产品样品中被美国环境保护署(EPA)优先控制的6种邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)化合物含量,并对其污染水平、污染程度进行了评价.结果表明,中山市农业土壤样品中6种PAEs化合物总浓度(ΣPAEs)范围为0.14~1.14 mg·kg-1,平均含量为0.43mg·kg-1,检出率为100%.不同土地利用类型中土壤的ΣPAEs含量大小顺序依次为菜地果园地稻田.与美国土壤6种优控的PAEs控制标准相比,邻苯二甲酸二正丁酯(DBP)和邻苯二甲酸二甲酯(DMP)含量超过控制标准,超标率分别为93.85%和27.69%,其余4种优控PAEs化合物的含量均低于美国标准.总体上,中山市农业土壤中ΣPAEs含量处于较低水平.中山市农产品中ΣPAEs含量范围为0.15~3.15 mg·kg-1,平均含量1.12 mg·kg-1,蔬菜中ΣPAEs的含量高于水稻和水果.农产品中PAEs含量低于美国和欧洲食品建议指标,健康风险很小.DBP和DEHP在土壤、农产品中占ΣPAEs的百分比和检出率均较高,是中山市PAEs污染物的主要组成部分.不同种类农产品-土壤中的ΣPAEs、DBP存在显著正相关,其中蔬菜-菜田土壤的Pearson相关系数(r)分别为0.81(P=0.000)、0.75(P=0.000),水稻-稻田土壤中二者的r分别为0.74(P=0.036)、0.65(P=0.041),水果-果园土壤中相关系数分别为0.66(P=0.029)、0.78(P=0.045).不同农产品对土壤中6种PAEs化合物的累积能力存在明显差异,但对ΣPAEs总量的富集系数均大于1.因此,在农业区域土壤质量评价过程中,应重视农产品自身特性对PAEs吸收和累积的影响.     

Influence of NOx on the activity of Pd/θ-Al2O3 catalyst for methane oxidation: Alleviation of transient deactivation

Alumina supported Pd catalyst（Pd/Al₂O₃） is active for complete oxidation of methane, while often suffers transient deactivation during the cold down process. Herein, heating and cooling cycle tests between 200 and 900 °C and isothermal experiments at 650 °C were conducted to investigate the influence of NO_x on transient deactivation of Pd/θ-Al₂O₃ catalyst during the methane oxidation. It was found that the co-fed of NO alleviated transient d...     

Cleaner beam house processes trial on cattle sofa leather

Leather processing has been an important light industry in China, which has contributed a lot to economy. The recent environmental challenges caused tremendous pressure to leather manufacture. The conventional beam house processes employ a wide range of chemicals which result in more than 60% of the total pollution in leather processing (mainly based on COD, BOD, TS, SS, NH₃–N). In this study, cleaner beam house processes were tested on cattle sofa leather to provide a clean environment. A control experiment was run parallel using conventional beam house processes. The results show that the de-hairing is complete through pelt histological microstructure, the extent of opening up of fibre bundles is very good, which is substantiated through chrome distribution analysis, scanning electron microscopic pictures of wet blue leathers and the analysis of contents of total proteins, polysaccharide and hydroxyproline in composite liquor, and the performance of the leathers is shown to be satisfied with the quality standard of sofa leather. The results from composite water analysis show that the cleaner processes enjoy in the reduction of emission water, chemical oxygen demand, total solids and ammonia-nitrogen loads by 46%, 93%, 58% and 54%, respectively, compared to the conventional processes. The total dry sludge from the clean processes is almost eliminated, and the composite cost is decreased by 10%.
