蚯蚓生物滤池对小城镇污泥处理效果简

针对小城镇污泥的处理问题,提出了蚯蚓生物滤池解决方案,为此在实验中设置了无蚯蚓对照组,并对污泥的稳定性、污泥性状、蚯蚓与微生物的协同作用以及污泥含有的各种元素存在状态进行了研究,通过蚯蚓生物滤池处理后污泥有机质含量平均相对减少量为11.1%,溶解性化学需氧量（SCOD）增加,滤液中氨氮（NH₃-N）含量由20.6~23.9 mg/L降至1.9~4.6 mg/L、滤液中硝态氮（NO₃^--N）含量由0.2~9.5 mg/L升高到42.0~50.8 mg/L,因此,实验结果表明,蚯蚓生物滤池能显著提高污泥的稳定性,改善污泥脱水性能,有利于污泥后续处理。     

京津冀区域生态资产负债核算研究

开展生态资产负债核算研究对自然资源资产负债表编制具有重要意义。以京津冀13个地市为例,通过计算生态产品供给价值变化以及生态足迹、生态承载力和生态赤字来分析其生态资产负债变化情况。核算结果表明,2012年京津冀生态产品供给的期初价值为4686亿元,期末价值为4990亿元,当期增加340亿元。京津冀生态足迹和生态承载力分别为4451.06万hm2和1932.68万hm2,生态赤字为3167.8万hm2。生态赤字较大的城市分别是北京市、天津市、石家庄市和保定市,生态赤字较小的城市分别为秦皇岛市和承德市。北京市人口增长过快和资源消耗量过大是生态赤字的重要原因。京津冀区域在发展方面引起的生态资产变化,需要引起高度重视。     

Politics of Biodiversity Conservation and Socio Ecological Conflicts in a City: The Case of Sanjay Gandhi National Park,Mumbai

Loss of the green belts in the cities as an antecedent outcome of haphazard and irregular urbanization as one of the principle factors has a negative bearing on the socio ecological services that nature entails. Our paper represents the conditions under which the contemporary statist conservationist efforts to preserve the urban protected areas (PAs) in India induces a marginal existence and livelihood vulnerability upon the survival of the population residing within these PAs. A recent survey to Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Mumbai reflects the ways in which a politics of conservation operates not only in the rural regions but also in cities, in highly inequitable and fabricated ways. This has consequently affected the impoverished, disempowered and impecunious inhabitants who comprise a considerable segment of population in cosmopolitan Mumbai, residing within the PAs. The present article assesses the ways in which in metropolises, PAs by definition determine jurisdictions and exercise rights to exclude the social groups who are marginal and less powerful. This is to preserve a pristine people free aesthetic environment in cities, for which there is an increasing demand from the local elite. The results of the study indicate the socio ecological aspects of the conservation politics in the city of Mumbai. The emergent consequences are in terms of the questions of universal rights to the PAs or reflecting an elitist provision of environmental integrity to the privileged visitors in the city.     

The linear accumulation of atmospheric mercury by vegetable and grass leaves: Potential biomonitors for atmospheric mercury pollution

One question in the use of plants as biomonitors for atmospheric mercury (Hg) is to confirm the linear relationships of Hg concentrations between air and leaves. To explore the origin of Hg in the vegetable and grass leaves, open top chambers (OTCs) experiment was conducted to study the relationships of Hg concentrations between air and leaves of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), radish (Raphanus sativus L.), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). The influence of Hg in soil on Hg accumulation in leaves was studied simultaneously by soil Hg-enriched experiment. Hg concentrations in grass and vegetable leaves and roots were measured in both experiments. Results from OTCs experiment showed that Hg concentrations in leaves of the four species were significantly positively correlated with those in air during the growth time (p?<?0.05), while results from soil Hg-enriched experiment indicated that soil-borne Hg had significant influence on Hg accumulation in the roots of each plant (p?<?0.05), and some influence on vegetable leaves (p?<?0.05), but no significant influence on Hg accumulation in grass leaves (p?>?0.05). Thus, Hg in grass leaves is mainly originated from the atmosphere, and grass leaves are more suitable as potential biomonitors for atmospheric Hg pollution. The effect detection limits (EDLs) for the leaves of alfalfa and ryegrass were 15.1 and 22.2 ng g^–1, respectively, and the biological detection limit (BDL) for alfalfa and ryegrass was 3.4 ng m^–3.     

Debrominated, hydroxylated and methoxylated metabolism in maize (Zea mays L.) exposed to lesser polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)

A hydroponic experiment was conducted to investigate the debrominated, hydroxylated and methoxylated metabolism of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs, BDE-15, -28 and -47) in maize. A total of six debrominated metabolites (de-PBDEs), seven hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs, including two unidentified OH-di-PBDEs and one unidentified OH-tri-PBDE) and four methoxylated PBDEs (MeO-PBDEs) were determined in the exposed plants. The metabolic products were detected in maize only after 12 h of exposure to the PBDEs. However, the concentration of each type of the metabolites (de-PBDEs, OH-PBDEs or MeO-PBDEs) decreased at the later exposure time, possibly due to further metabolism. The removal of a bromine atom or the introduction of a hydroxyl/methoxy group was easier at the ortho-positions on the biphenyl structure than at the para-positions. Concentration ratios of the total debrominated, hydroxylated or methoxylated metabolites to the parent congener (BDE-28 or -47) generally followed the order of leaves > stems ? roots, and MeO-PBDEs > de-PBDEs ? OH-PBDEs. These results suggest that metabolism occurred preferentially in leaves and stems than in roots. Less transformation and shorter elimination half-life of OH-PBDEs would contribute to the lower concentrations of OH-PBDEs than of de-PBDEs or MeO-PBDEs in maize.

黄土高填方地基上部建筑施建控制标准研究∗

黄土高填方地基上部建筑的工后沉降及施建时间问题是目前研究的热点。以某黄土沟壑区新区建设中的高填方工程为背景，基于试验段工后沉降监测结果，运用 MIDAS/GTS‐NX 数值反演分析方法来获取填方土体蠕变力学参数，并针对不同偏心距及施建时间下高层和低层建筑物地基的工后沉降特征开展了系统研究。结果表明： （1）基于实测资料的分层迭代反演分析方法所得填土体参数较准确反应黄土高填方土体的实际受荷状态及上部建筑基础的工后沉降特征。（2）当低层或高层建筑偏心距 w=0 m 或 w=221 m 时，局部倾斜最小且均满足局部倾斜 f＜ 0.002 要求，建议低层建筑施建偏心距 w≥157 m，工后施建时间 t≥1.21 年；高层建筑施建偏心距 w≥155 m，工后施建时间 t≥1.5 年。通过本文的研究，可为类似“上山建城”高填方顶部建筑的施建位置及工后施建时间提供科学参考。
