Some characteristics of the distribution of heavy metals in urban topsoil of Xuzhou,China

An assessment is presented of distribution characteristics of heavy metals in the urban topsoil from the city of Xuzhou. The concentrations of Ag, Al, As, Au, Ba, Be, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hg, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Pd, Pt, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, V and Zn have been determined from 21 soil samples. Examination of lognormal distribution plots indicates that the diagrams of Al, Be, Fe, Ga, Li, and V are almost linear suggesting that these metals are almost unaffected by anthropogenic activities while the plots for As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Pd, Pt, Se, Zn and others are not linear probably due to anthropogenic activities from which these metals are delivered to the soils. Al is used for mineralogical normalization of these data. An evaluation of background values for topsoil is also carried out by means of lognormal distribution plots. The results show our background values obtained from the lognormal distribution plots are comparable to those values of uncontaminated soils of Xuzhou obtained by previous work except for Cd and Hg. At present, no explanation for the exceptions Cd and Hg can be given.     

不同含量硫酸根和硝酸根作为反离子对聚二甲基二烯丙基铵盐絮凝性能的影响

在实验室烧杯实验中,通过利用光散射监控技术,以及测定絮凝后上清液的残余浊度和Zeta电位,研究了硫酸根和硝酸根聚二甲基二烯丙基铵盐聚电解质（PDADMAX）的絮凝性能．以不同浊度的高岭土悬浊液为目标物,详细地讨论了反离子中不同含量的SO4^2-或NO3^-对絮凝效能的影响．为了进一步阐明PDADMAX的絮凝机理,用原子力显微镜（AFM）和比浓粘度表征了反离子对PDADMAX溶液性质和吸附形貌的影响实验结果表明：反离子明显影响了PDADMAX的絮凝性能．含有NOr的PDADMAX具有更强的“电中和作用”和更高的絮凝效率,而含有SO4^2-的PDADMAX具有更高的“吸附架桥作用”既更宽的最佳絮凝剂投量范围、更大的絮体．不同的SO4^2-或NO3^-含量的PDADMAX絮凝剂的絮凝效率不同,其中都在含量20％时效果最好．而且在高浊度条件下,SO4^2-或NO3^-对PDADMAX的絮凝效果有更明显地增强．

Population Growth,Available Resources,and Quality of Life:China’s Post-Reform Economic Development

Two opposing intellectual traditions and their contem-porary developments regarding the relations among population, available resources, and quality of life as reflected in economic growth are reviewed. What is at issue is whether population growth is detrimental to or beneficial for economic development. Neither of the extreme views gives a complete picture of the interplay among population, resources, and quality of life. Following previous literature on the topic, this paper establishes a more balanced approach that considers the function linking population and quality of life not constant but variable and regards the limitedness of resources as not absolute but relative to regions and societies. The proposed approach is more flexible in better explaining the relation between population and economic growth. China is examined as a case in point to shed light on the interaction of population growth, economic development, and available resources, and its recent post-economic reform experiences showcase the appropriateness of the synthetic approach.

长江上游流域大洪水天气分型特征分析

通过对1981~2012年24例长江上游流域大洪水过程进行普查,发现影响长江上游大洪水强降水过程的天气系统主要为:巴湖槽东移型、贝湖槽稳定型和东北冷槽型。采用统计、诊断及合成分析方法,对3种不同天气类型的大尺度环流背景、主要影响系统及致洪降水发生机理进行研究,并总结其特点及差异。结果表明:3种类型大洪水的洪水特征及降水特征各不相同,大尺度环流背景及天气系统也有所差异。副高及500hPa中高纬环流形势异常是导致强降水发生的直接因素,西南涡、冷暖式切变线及冷空气在不同的类型洪水降水中作用各不相同,异常气旋性环流场、水汽输送方向及水汽通量辐合区与强降水的位置密切相关。     

江苏省乡村性空间格局及影响因素研究

基于城乡一体化思想,在分析乡村性内涵基础上,采用人口密度等指标构建乡村性评价体系,以全国第五、六次人口普查等数据为基础,借助SPSS、ArcGIS、Geoda软件,探讨了江苏省县域单元乡村性空间格局及影响因素。结果表明：(1)2000～2010年,江苏全省县域单元乡村性逐渐减弱,并呈现出阶梯状的空间分布态势;(2)各县域乡村性指数并不表现为完全随机状态,而是存在显著的正空间相关性。热点区域分布在沭阳县与泗阳县交界处为核心的圈层结构,冷点区域集中在乡镇工业发达的苏锡常地区;（3）社会环境、交通、资本、工业化和城市化、政策等因素是乡村性变化的主要影响因素;（4）未发现乡村性加强的现象;在数据可获得情况下,以乡镇为单元研究乡村性将具有更强的现实指导意义     

中国推进生态文明建设的研究进展

中国正在进入大力推进生态文明建设的新时期。基于文献统计和分析,对生态文明建设的理论基础、实践模式、突破领域、制度保障、实现机制和评价体系等方面的研究进行了述评,并提出未来研究方向和重点,展现了我国生态文明建设的认识演进、实践成效、现实问题和发展趋势。已有研究为把握生态文明的本质规律,树立生态文明价值理念,促进生产生活方式绿色转型,提供了理论基础和有益指导。但是,还存在着研究比较分散、深度不够、创新性工作缺乏、方法单一等问题。新时期大力推进生态文明建设,迫切需要综合多维度研究的成果和方法,加强研究的系统性,重构和创新理论范式和分析框架,开展实践调查和案例分析,并将"五位一体"下生态文明建设的道路选择、制度建设、评价标准等方面的研究推向深入。     

塑胶跑道中有机磷酸酯的含量及健康风险

采用超声萃取-层析净化-气相色谱/质谱联用仪定量分析塑胶跑道中7种有机磷酸酯(OPEs),方法回收率为71.41%~110.58%,标准曲线相关系数r0.99,质控良好.采集并分析了成都市12个学校内的塑胶跑道样品中OPEs的含量及分布.结果表明2/3学校内的塑胶跑道样品中检出了OPEs,其中磷酸三正丁酯[tri-n-butyl phosphate,TnBP]、磷酸三异辛酯[tris(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate,TEHP]的检出率较高,而磷酸三(2-氯乙基)酯[tri(2-chloroethyl)phosphate,TCEP]、磷酸三(1,3-二氯异丙基)酯[tridichloropropyl phosphate,TDCPP]、磷酸三苯酯[triphenyl Phosphate,TPh P]在所有样品中均未检测到.Σ7OPEs含量范围为ND~534.89 ng·g~(-1),其中单体含量最高的是TnBP(ND~462.18 ng·g~(-1)).一个样品中检出了毒性较大的氯代磷酸酯-TCPP[trichloropropyl phosphate],含量为205.94 ng·g~(-1).成人和儿童通过皮肤接触摄入的Σ7OPEs日均暴露剂量(以bw计)最高,分别为0.14 ng·(kg·d)~(-1)和0.64 ng·(kg·d)~(-1),儿童的日均暴露剂量明显高于成人.成人及儿童的风险熵值(RQ)为10~(-7)~10~(-5).建议政府对塑胶跑道中OPEs使用量及添加种类进行管控,以更好地保护人群健康.
