市政污泥掺烧对生活垃圾焚烧设施烟气中污染物排放的影响

与生活垃圾协同焚烧是污泥处置中最有前景的处置方式,但其对焚烧烟气污染物排放的影响尚未明确。利用生活垃圾焚烧炉开展生活垃圾协同处置市政污泥的试验,研究掺烧5%、10%和15%的市政污泥时焚烧烟气中酸性气体、烟尘、重金属和二噁英等的排放特征。结果表明:与单独焚烧生活垃圾的对照组相比,在各掺烧比例下,烟气中SO_2、HCl、NO_x及烟尘有一定程度的增加,但均未超过GB18485—2014《生活垃圾焚烧污染控制标准》限值;Cu、Hg排放质量浓度明显下降,Cr、Cd波动下降,Pb在高掺烧比时仍远低于限值,Ni增长幅度小于15%;二噁英总量升高,但仍符合标准限值。因此,在掺烧比例不超过15%的情况下,焚烧烟气中污染物排放仍在安全可控范围。     

微波消解-原子吸收光度法测定土壤中铜锌铅镉镍铬

用微波消解－原子吸收光度法测定土壤中铜，锌，铅，镉，镍和铬。通过硝酸－氢氟酸－过氧化氢体系消解液对土壤样品消解，选择出微波最佳消解条件。对硝酸－盐酸－过氧化氢体系消解液和硝酸－氢氟酸－过氧化氢体系消解液进行消解对比试验，发现前者不能将土壤样品完全消解，后者能将样品消解完全，但需将消解液中剩余的酸赶尽，否则测定结果将明显偏低。微波消解土壤与传统电热消解相比，操作简便快速，可提高工作效率。

Formation of persistent chlorinated aromatic compounds in simulated and real fly ash from iron ore sintering

Effects of carbon concentration and Cu additive in simulated fly ash (SFA) and real fly ash (RFA) on the formation of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), chlorobenzenes, and polychlorinated biphenyls which were all regarded as persistent chlorinated aromatics in iron ore sintering were investigated. In the annealing process of SFA with various carbon contents, the yield of chlorinated aromatics and the I-TEQ obtained their maximum at 10 wt% carbon content. Active carbon in SFA acted as the carbon source as well as an adsorbent which led to higher production of PCDD/F in solid phase at 10 wt% carbon content. The increase of carbon content will be beneficial on the formation of 2,3,7,8-Chloro-substituted PCDF compared with 2,3,7,8-Chloro-substituted PCDD. In addition, the CuCl₂·2H₂O was a much more powerful catalyst in the formation of chlorinated aromatic compounds compared with elementary Cu, since it served as both a catalyst and a chlorine donor. However, the RFA behaved similarly with SFA with elementary Cu in the formation of chlorinated aromatic compounds. The effect of carbon content and copper additives on formation of 2,3,7,8-chloro-substituted congeners displayed similar characteristics with the tetra- to octa-PCDD/F isomers and even the total PCDD/Fs.     

The fungicide difenoconazole alters mRNA expression levels of human CYP3A4 in HepG2 cells

The fungicide difenoconazole has been frequently detected in agricultural products, soils and surface waters, causing increasingly public concern due to toxicological properties. Although systemic triazole fungicides can inhibit the enzymatic activity of many CYP450 isozymes, how difenoconazole affects the human CYP3A4 still remains largely unknown. We thus investigated the effect of difenoconazole on normal mRNA expression and protein expression of human CYP3A4 by real-time quantitative PCR and western blot, respectively. Results show that the exposure to difenoconazole from 0.01 to 0.5 μM for 24 h down-regulates mRNA expression levels of human CYP3A4 in HepG2 cells. We also found that difenoconazole could inhibit the enzymatic activity of human CYP3A4 in a concentration-dependent mode. The IC₅₀ of difenoconazole for inhibition of CYP3A4 activity is 0.41 µM, showing a stronger inhibitor in comparison with ketoconazole. Overall, our findings indicate the potential risk of difenoconazole for the disruption of human CYP3A4.     

基于小流域尺度的目标抗生素排放量估算方法——以梅江流域为例

抗生素的大量使用和排放造成的环境污染和生态风险问题日益突出,抗生素排放量的估算是评价流域内抗生素污染程度的重要指标,但目前抗生素排放量估算方法尚不完善。本研究以梅江流域为例,建立了适合小流域尺度的典型抗生素排放量估算方法,计算了四环素类抗生素(TCs)向不同环境相的排放量并分析了其主要来源。结果表明:2016年梅江流域TCs排放量为8 558.1 kg,不同行政区抗生素排放量差异较大,其中梅江镇受人口密度及养殖密度影响,抗生素排放量最大,高达1 224.4 kg;同时流域内不同抗生素的排放量也有所不同,其大小顺序为强力霉素(DXC)土霉素(OTC)四环素(TC)金霉素(CTC);TCs受排放源、排放途径等因素影响,以进入环境水相及土壤相为主,其中进入水相中的抗生素主要来自人类及生猪粪便,进入土壤相中的抗生素主要来自生猪及三黄鸡粪便。梅江小流域抗生素具有潜在的生态风险,应加强抗生素使用管理。该研究为我国小尺度流域目标抗生素排放量的估算提供了十分有效的方法。     

基于机器视觉的鱼类行为特征提取与分析

近年来,水污染问题备受关注。生物式水质监测成为目前国家环境保护工作的重要任务之一。为准确监测水质污染情况,本文以青鳉鱼(Oryzias latipes)为研究对象,采用非接触式的机器视觉监测技术,提取青鳉鱼的生理特征(呼吸频率)和运动特征(胸鳍和尾鳍的摆动频率),并分析这些特征与水质之间的关系。本文采用支持向量机(Support Vector Machine,SVM)准确提取鱼鳃,并根据鱼鳃呼吸面积大小变化计算出鱼的呼吸频率。基于形态学细化算法提取青鳉鱼骨架,求出胸鳍和尾鳍的摆动频率。结果显示:不同浓度铜离子暴露实验测得的青鳉鱼生理特征和运动特征与实际情况一致;通过对不同铜离子浓度下的毒性实验数据对比,发现了青鳉鱼的生理特征和运动特征会随不同的铜离子浓度发生相应变化,可以作为水质监测的评价标准。     

PM_(2.5)对人肺癌细胞A549迁移、侵袭能力的增强作用

为探讨PM_(2.5)(particulate matter 2.5)对人肺癌细胞A549迁移、侵袭能力的影响并探讨相关机制,采用含有不同浓度PM_(2.5)的无血清及抗生素培养液对A549细胞培养72 h,利用MTT法检测A549细胞的增殖抑制率。根据MTT实验结果,选择适当的PM_(2.5)暴露浓度用于后续实验,以细胞划痕实验检测细胞迁移能力,transwell小室实验检测细胞迁移、侵袭能力,Western Blotting法检测细胞周期蛋白D1(cyclin D1)、转录因子snail和slug、基质金属蛋白酶-2(matrix metalloproteinase-2,MMP-2)、基质金属蛋白酶-9(matrix metalloproteinase-9,MMP-9)及胞核内β-链蛋白(β-catenin)的蛋白表达水平。结果显示:细胞划痕实验结果显示10μg·m L-1PM_(2.5)组A549细胞划痕创面愈合率为(46.34%±5.19%),与对照组比较显著增高(P<0.05);transwell小室法迁移和侵袭实验结果显示10μg·m L-1PM_(2.5)组穿膜细胞数平均为(165.67±6.62)个和(47.83±2.04)个,与对照组比较显著增多(P<0.05);Western Blotting实验结果显示PM_(2.5)(10μg·m L-1)可显著上调A549细胞cyclin D1、snail、slug、MMP-2、MMP-9和胞核内β-catenin蛋白表达水平。因此,PM_(2.5)可通过提高Wnt/β-catenin通路活性及其下游cyclin D1、snail、slug、MMP-2和MMP-9的蛋白表达而增强A549细胞的迁移、侵袭能力。     

Are we planning for sustainable disaster recovery? Evaluating recovery plans after the Wenchuan earthquake

This article examines local recovery plans that were created in response to the Wenchuan earthquake and then suggests ways that planners can better apply the concept of sustainability to the recovery process. We utilize a plan evaluation protocol to analyze 16 recovery plans in counties and towns that were severely affected by the earthquake. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with public officials and planners, with the qualitative data gleaned from these interviews being used to supplement the plan quality assessment. The results reveal that local recovery plans do not appear to have incorporated sufficiently the concepts of sustainability. We conclude the paper with the following recommendations: emphasizing sustainability as a policy priority during vision and goal development; developing solid databases and planning techniques; designing a diversified set of regulatory- and incentive-based policy tools suitable for local governments; enhancing social and institutional learning; and further integrating multi-level and interagency governmental units.
