南京市不同功能区PM10中多环芳烃的污染特征

PM10是衡量大气环境质量好坏的重要指标之一;多环芳烃(PAHs)是具有强烈致癌性的有机污染物,大多吸附在粒径小于10 μm颗粒物上.利用长期定位实验采集了南京市两典型功能区--大厂地区和山西路的PM10样品,对其PAHs质量浓度进行了分析测定,研究了不同功能区PM10中PAHs的时空污染特性.研究结果表明:南京市PM10污染比较严重,其质量浓度变化范围在0.1157 mg·m-3～0.3913 mg·m-3之间;经分析PM10中16种优控多环芳烃(PAHs)发现,全年大厂地区的PAHs的质量浓度与山西路PAHs的质量浓度没有明显的高低之分;PAHs总质量浓度的空间变化不明显,时间变化也没有规律性;比较PM10与PAHs的月平均质量浓度变化趋势,两者之间的变化没有相关性,各自的质量浓度变化也没有规律性,分析其结果可能是由于PAHs的不稳定性造成的.     

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.

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.

千岛湖配水工程的环境成本估算——基于调水区支付意愿调查

由于水资源分布不均、水污染日趋严重,调水工程已不仅用以解决城市资源型缺水,也成为一些地区缓解水质型缺水问题的途径,但是这些耗资巨大的调水工程往往对周围自然生态环境可能产生巨大影响,可能带来的环境成本不容忽视。以千岛湖配水工程为例,通过在调水地进行实地调研和问卷调查,运用Tobit模型分析影响居民支付意愿的因素,基于意愿调查法(CVM)分析了建德市人民对千岛湖配水工程的生态环境影响的支付意愿,并以此估算该工程的环境成本。结果表明,调水地居民对恢复和改善可能破坏的生态环境的平均支付意愿约为每人每年377.6～542.1元,按照年配水量9.78亿 m³可以计算每吨水的环境成本约为0.15～0.21元。由此估算,工程期内千岛湖配水工程可能造成的环境成本总计约为5.80～8.28亿元,高于2014年公布的《杭州市第二水源千岛湖配水工程环境影响报告书》(下文简称《报告书》)中对该工程的环境经济影响评价3.70亿元。千岛湖配水工程的环境成本不容忽视,必须建立科学的生态补偿机制,加强监管;同时受水地也应积极加强污染治理和节约用水,共同解决城市水质型缺水问题。     

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。
