Capacity estimation and preliminary strategy for reducing the release of dioxins in China

As a party of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, China must submit its national implementation plan (NIP) for this convention. The strategy and action plan for reducing the release of dioxins in China are the most important components of the NIP. Three problems are key points for developing such strategy and action plan—what are the key sources for applying the best available technology/best environmental practice (BAT/BEP) to reduce the release of dioxins? How about the capacity for reducing the dioxins release from the key sources? Where are the areas of priority for applying BAT/BEP? This paper shows the efforts towards the solution of these problems. The list of key sources covering about half of the total dioxins release was determined considering four criteria. The capacity of key sources were estimated based on the difference between the emission factor corresponding to the actual situation in 2004 and that corresponding to the scenario that all key sources have been applied BAT/BEP to reduce the dioxins release. The priority analysis using the geographical information system (GIS) tool has revealed that castern provinces should be of high priority in the future reduction activities of dioxins release in China.     

大亚湾核电站余氯排放对邻近海域环境的影响

对大亚湾核电站冷却水排放口及邻近海域海水中余氯污染状况进行了调查，结果表明：余氯的含量为〈０．０１～０．０４ｍｇ．Ｌ＾－１，各季节平均水平为０．０１～０．０２ｍｇ．Ｌ＾－１，冬季较高。余氯在海水中的形态为化合态。选择若干养殖经济动物进行了余氯毒性胁迫试验。以０．５为安全因子，余氯胁迫作用时间不超过３０ｍｉｎ时，游离斜 氯对平鲷、黑鲷仔鱼的安全容许浓度约为０．１０ｍｇ．Ｌ＾－１，对斑节对虾幼苗为０．     

冰对斜体结构作用的二维和三维力学模型分析

通常情况下，作用在斜体结构表面的冰力小于垂直结构，因此斜体结构成为有冰海区海洋结构的优选结构，冰对斜体结构作用力学机制的分析是近些年来国际上研究的热点问题。本文运用简单的二维理论及较为复杂的三维理论，依据辽东湾环境条件，采用计算与作图分析的手段，对摩擦系数、坡角、冰强度及冰厚如何影响作用在斜体结构上的水平冰力进行了讨论，并验证了相应结论     

SBR中生物除磷颗粒污泥的反硝化聚磷研究

反硝化聚磷菌(DNPAOs)可利用厌氧储存的聚.3.羟基丁酸(PHB)以硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐为电子受体进行过量吸磷和反硝化,从而达到在低碳源下脱氮除磷的双重目的.本试验在SBR反应器中,采用厌氧,缺氧/好氧(A/A/O)交替运行的方式.将富集聚磷菌(PAOs)的颗粒污泥成功地诱导为具有反硝化聚磷能力的颗粒污泥.诱导结束后P的去除率在90%以上,NOx-N的去除率在93%以上,厌氧段释磷量在25-33 mg/L,缺氧段每去除lg NOx-N吸收P约1.3 g;典型周期运行结果显示,厌氧段最大比释磷速率(SRPR)为18.39 mg/(g.h),缺氧段最大比吸磷速率(SUPR)为23.72 mg/(g·h),最大比反硝化速率(SDNR)为18.19mg/(g·h),好氧段最大SUPR为17.15 me,/(g·h):颗粒污泥中DNPAOs的数量由诱导前的14.9%增加到80.7%.与除磷颗粒污泥相比.反硝化聚磷颗粒污泥沉速提高0.16-0.7倍,比重提高0.003 1.     

广州市区PM2.5的时间变化

PM2.5是指大气中直径小于或等于2.5微米的颗粒物,不仅能够造成灰霾天气,而且会对人体健康造成重大危害。本文以广州市环境监测中心站2009年的监测数据为基础,对广州市区PM2.5的时间变化和原因进行了分析,结果表明广州市区的PM2.5冬季较高,夏季较低,最高浓度出现在10月,最低浓度出现在7月。PM2.5浓度日变化呈现出明显的双峰形;PM2.5浓度的时间变化特征与气象因素和污染源排放密切相关。

Mechanism and characterization of microplastic aging process: A review

● Methods for estimating the aging of environmental micro-plastics were highlighted. ● Aging pathways & characterization methods of microplastics were related and reviewed. ● Possible approaches to reduce the contamination of microplastics were proposed. ● The prospect and deficiency of degradable plastics were analyzed. With the increasing production of petroleum-based plastics, the problem of environmental pollution caused by plastics has aroused widespread concern. Microplastics, which are formed by the fragmentation of macro plastics, are bio-accumulate easily due to their small size and slow degradation under natural conditions. The aging of plastics is an inevitable process for their degradation and enhancement of adsorption performance toward pollutants due to a series of changes in their physiochemical properties, which significantly increase the toxicity and harm of plastics. Therefore, studies should focus on the aging process of microplastics through reasonable characterization methods to promote the aging process and prevent white pollution. This review summarizes the latest progress in natural aging process and characterization methods to determine the natural aging mechanism of microplastics. In addition, recent advances in the artificial aging of microplastic pollutants are reviewed. The degradation status and by-products of biodegradable plastics in the natural environment and whether they can truly solve the plastic pollution problem have been discussed. Findings from the literature pointed out that the aging process of microplastics lacks professional and exclusive characterization methods, which include qualitative and quantitative analyses. To lessen the toxicity of microplastics in the environment, future research directions have been suggested based on existing problems in the current research. This review could provide a systematic reference for in-depth exploration of the aging mechanism and behavior of microplastics in natural and artificial systems.
