Mercury enrichment in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Brassica napus</Emphasis> in response to elevated atmospheric mercury concentrations

Mercury enrichment in response to elevated atmospheric mercury concentrations in the organs of rape (Brassica napus) was investigated using an open top chamber fumigation experiment and a soil mercury enriched cultivation experiment. Results indicate that the mercury concentration in leaves and stems showed a significant variation under different concentrations of mercury in atmospheric and soil experiments while the concentration of mercury in roots, seeds and seed coats showed no significant variation under different atmospheric mercury concentrations. Using the function relation established by the experiment, results for atmospheric mercury sources in rape field biomass showed that atmospheric sources accounted for at least 81.81%of mercury in rape leaves and 32.29% of mercury in the stems. Therefore, mercury in the aboveground biomass predominantly derives from the absorption of atmospheric mercury.

农田土壤镉生物有效性及暴露评估研究进展

随着工业化和城市化进程的发展,我国在农田土壤污染领域面临较大挑战,其中镉(Cd)为最优先控制元素之一。农田土壤Cd污染风险类型为健康风险,其主要暴露途径为经土壤-植物系统,并经膳食进入人体。在当前的土壤Cd风险评估中,一般不考虑生物有效性问题,这使得风险评价中实际暴露评估的不确定性普遍偏高。所以,近年来欧洲国家有许多研究者提出将生物有效性因素放在土壤污染物风险评价框架内。基于此,本文立足于农田系统,并从土壤、植物、污染物及环境因素等4个方面详细综述了农田土壤Cd生物有效性的影响因素及其作用机理。其次,分别综述了近年来土壤Cd生物有效性预测模型和土壤Cd膳食暴露评估模型研究进展。最后,分析了我国土壤重金属风险评价中存在的不足,并对农田土壤Cd暴露评估发展态势和研究方向进行了初步预测,以期为农田土壤Cd健康风险评估及安全基准研究提供一定参考。

城镇社区是构成城镇的基本单元,是政府实施社会管理的基本单元和主要依托,也是城镇防灾减灾的基本单元.城镇社区地震应急能力评价是地震应急管理的重要内容,建立社区地震应急能力评价指标体系对提高社区地震应急能力、建设地震安全社区和促进城镇地震应急管理工作具有重要意义.     

上海市居民食物碳消费变化趋势的动态分析

城市化的快速发展和城市人口的不断增长,给社会和生态环境带来了巨大压力.不可持续的居民消费是造成全球环境问题的主要原因,而居民食物碳消费研究是促进可持续居民消费的重要内容.采用政府宏观统计数据.分析了1980-2007年上海市居民食物消费结构和食物碳消费的变化趋势和影响因素,结果表明:①居民食物碳消费结构发生较大变化,由"以粮食碳消费为主"的单一模式转变为"以粮食、畜禽肉、植物油碳消费为主"的多元消费模式,但碳消费结构仍欠合理;②居民人均食物碳消费量呈下降趋势,但受城市人口逐年增加的影响,食物碳消费总量呈现波动上升趋势;③使用person乘积相关分析法得出食物消费支出和居民消费价格指数是人均食物碳消费的主要影响因素.研究结果对进一步探索可持续的居民消费模式和减轻食物消费的环境影响具有重要的现实意义.     

地下储液罐抗爆炸地冲击作用的流固耦合有限元分析

储液罐的抗震性能虽然得到了较为深入的研究,但对其抗爆炸产生的地冲击作用的研究还十分罕见。本文通过建立流固耦合的数值分析模型,研究爆炸地冲击作用下地下立式储液罐的动力特性,包括储液晃动波高、罐壁的应力和应变、底板的提离和浮放储液罐的"象足"变形产生原因及破坏机理等。研究结果表明,储液罐在爆炸地冲击荷载和地震荷载作用下的动力响应有明显区别,地震荷载作用下的储液罐抗震验算方法不适用于爆炸地冲击荷载。     

碳同位素在溢油鉴定中的应用研究

通过分析中国代表性原油、氯仿沥青"A"组分碳同位素和正构烷烃单体碳同位素组成,探讨其在溢油鉴定中的应用.结果表明,原油的碳同位素组成具有母质继承效应,不同来源的原油及其氯仿沥青"A"组分的碳同位素类型曲线形状不同,可以利用这种规律进行溢油鉴定.碳同位素的抗风化性是其用于油指纹鉴别的最大优点.正构烷烃单体碳同位素分析使得有机质碳同位素研究进入分子级水平,因其特征性和稳定性正日益成为重要且有效的油类污染物的"环境示踪剂".     

Cu2+、Zn2+对生物脱氮系统的影响

Cu²⁺和Zn²⁺是污水处理工艺中经常遇到的金属离子。在驯化好的活性污泥系统中,研究了金属离子Cu²⁺和Zn²⁺在0～100 mg/L浓度下对活性污泥生物脱氮系统的影响。试验发现Cu²⁺＞5 mg/L、Zn²⁺＞30 mg/L时,对硝化过程具有明显的抑制作用,在同样浓度的试验条件下Cu²⁺对硝化过程的抑制作用比Zn²⁺大。Cu²⁺≤0.5 mg/L时对反硝化过程具有一定的促进作用,有助于提高TN的去除效果;Cu²⁺＞0.5 mg/L时,对反硝化产生抑制作用,随着浓度的增加,TN去除率逐渐下降。Zn²⁺不影响反硝化过程,仅在大于30 mg/L时,对硝化过程产生抑制作用。重金属Cu²⁺对生物脱氮系统的影响明显强于Zn²⁺。

Plant Communities,Soil Carbon,and Soil Nitrogen Properties in a Successional Gradient of Sub-Alpine Meadows on the Eastern Tibetan Plateau of China

To assess the recovery trajectory and self-maintenance of restored ecosystems, a successional gradient (1, 3, 5, 15, and 30 years after abandonment) was established in a sub-alpine meadow of the eastern Tibetan Plateau in China. Plant communities and soil carbon and nitrogen properties were investigated and analyzed. Regression analyses were used to assess the models (linear or quadratic) relating measures of species richness, soil carbon and nitrogen properties to fallow time. We found that species richness (S) increased over the first 20 years but decreased thereafter, and aboveground biomass showed a linear increase along the fallow time gradient. The richness of different functional groups (forb, grass and legume) changed little along the fallow time gradient, but their corresponding above ground biomass showed the U-shaped, humped or linear pattern. Soil microbial carbon (MBC) and nitrogen (MBN) in the upper 20 cm showed a U-shaped pattern along the fallow time gradient. However, soil organic carbon (C_org) and total nitrogen (TN) in the soil at depth greater than 20 cm showed significant patterns of linear decline along the fallow time gradient. The threshold models of species richness reflected best the recovery over the 15 year fallow period. These results indicated that fallow time had a greater influence on development of the plant community than soil processes in abandoned fields in sub-alpine meadow ecosystem. These results also suggested that although the succession process did not significantly increase soil C, an increase in microbial biomass at the latter stage of succession could promote the decomposability of plant litter. Therefore, abandoned fields in sub-alpine meadow ecosystem may have a high resilience and strong rehabilitating capability under natural recovery condition.
