Cross-boundary transport of air pollution is a difficult issue in pollution control for the North China Plain. In this study, an industrial district (Shahe City) with a large glass manufacturing sector was investigated to clarify the relative contribution of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) to the city's high levels of pollution. The Nest Air Quality Prediction Model System (NAQPMS), paired with Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF), was adopted and applied with a spatial resolution of 5 km. During the study period, the mean mass concentrations of PM2.5, SO2, and NO2 were observed to be 132.0, 76.1, and 55.5 μg/m3, respectively. The model reproduced the variations in pollutant concentrations in Shahe at an acceptable level. The simulation of online source-tagging revealed that pollutants emitted within a 50-km radius of downtown Shahe contributed 63.4% of the city's total PM2.5 concentration. This contribution increased to 73.9±21.2% when unfavorable meteorological conditions (high relative humidity, weak wind, and low planetary boundary layer height) were present; such conditions are more frequently associated with severe pollution (PM2.5 ≥ 250 μg/m3). The contribution from Shahe was 52.3±21.6%. The source apportionment results showed that industry (47%), transportation (10%), power (17%), and residential (26%) sectors were the most important sources of PM2.5 in Shahe. The glass factories (where chimney stack heights were normally < 70 m) in Shahe contributed 32.1% of the total PM2.5 concentration in Shahe. With an increase in PM2.5 concentration, the emissions from glass factories accumulated vertically and narrowed horizontally. At times when pollution levels were severe, the horizontally influenced area mainly covered Shahe. Furthermore, sensitivity tests indicated that reducing emissions by 20%, 40%, and 60% could lead to a decrease in the mass concentration of PM2.5 of of 12.0%, 23.8%, and 35.5%, respectively. 相似文献

应用大型底栖动物生物完整性指数(Benthic Index of Biological Integrity, B-IBI)评价河流健康已成为河流生态系统管理的重要方法。根据2010年5月对浑河流域62个采样点的底栖动物调查数据,基于采样点的水质等级、栖息地质量综合评估指数、人类干扰强度和河岸土地利用评估等标准,选择同属于辽河水系的太子河流域的8个采样点作为参照点,构建浑河流域B-IBI生物完整性指数。通过对34个生物参数的分布范围检验、判别能力分析以及相关性检验,最终确定浑河流域B-IBI生物完整性指数由总分类单元数、EPT(蜉蝣目Ephemeroptera、襀翅目Plecoptera、毛翅目Trichoptera)相对丰度、耐污类群相对丰度、最优势类群分类单元数、直接收集者相对丰度以及香农威纳多样性指数6个参数构成。根据各参数值随干扰增强的变化趋势,采用比值法计算各指标的分值和评价标准。结果表明:浑河流域B-IBI平均得分为2.56,河流健康状态处于一般状态;62个采样点中,9个处于健康状态,13个处于亚健康状态、22个处于一般状态、10个处于差状态,8个处于极差状态;从流域空间尺度上来看,河流健康状态从上游区到下游区逐渐变差。相关性分析表明,B-IBI与水温、电导、溶解性固体总量、硝酸盐、总氮、五日生化需氧量等水环境指标呈现显著负相关,表明B-IBI指数对于水质污染具有较好的指示性作用。综上所述,浑河流域由于受城市工业区的分布影响,大型底栖动物生物完整性呈现出明显的空间分布差异,上游区河流生物完整性较好、中下游底栖动物群落呈现出明显的退化趋势。 相似文献
Objective: Operating speed is a critical indicator to evaluate consistency of road alignment and safety. Although extensive studies have been conducted on developing operating speed models, few researchers have considered the interactive influence of horizontal and vertical alignment in 3D space. The purpose of this study is to develop a speed model based on 3D alignment in Euclidean space rather than traditional horizontal and vertical alignment.
Methods: According to the curve theory of differential geometry, a novel method to estimate operating speed is proposed in our study using 3D space curvature instead of traditional horizontal or vertical parameters to describe the spatial geometric properties for a freeway alignment. Speeds of 54 different alignment segments are observed to develop the speed model. Several observing sites of each segment are selected beforehand, and the speeds of more than 300 vehicles in each site are observed. Space curvature is used as an important index to estimate operating speed.
Results: The findings of this study indicated that both horizontal alignment and vertical alignment contribute to space curvature. Space curvature mainly affects direction control operating performance. However, vehicles overcome the effects of gravity along the vertical alignment in the z direction. Results indicate that operating speed exponentially declines with space curvature and that quadratic parabola decline with vertical grade.
Conclusions: It can be concluded that there is a clear correlation between velocity and spatial curvature, which is proved by variance analysis. The estimation results of the speed models are reliable as tested using a real engineering example. The study would provide a scientific basis for safety evaluation of freeway alignment. 相似文献
