滴水湖水系表层水体、沉积物和生物体内多环芳烃的污染特征及风险评价

利用固相微萃取、微波萃取与液相色谱联用方法,对滴水湖水系环境中的水样、沉积物和生物样品中16种美国环境保护局优控的多环芳烃(PAHs)进行检测。结果表明,滴水湖水系水体中16种PAHs总量(∑PAHs)为19～446 ng·L~(-1),沉积物中为90～1 410 ng·g~(-1)dw(干重),生物体内为73～426 ng·g~(-1)dw;水中PAHs以2～3环为主,沉积物和水生生物体内均以3～4环为主;与国内外其他水系相比,表层水体中PAHs的污染水平较低,沉积物整体处于低到中度污染水平,生物体处于中等污染水平;滴水湖水体中的贝类食用风险很低,食用过量鲻鱼可能存在潜在致癌风险。污染源分析表明,滴水湖水体环境中PAHs的来源复杂,且随着滴水湖旅游资源及自贸区的开发,游客和交通流量日益增加,游船石油泄漏以及交通石油和汽油的燃烧逐渐成为滴水湖水体环境中有机污染物的主要来源。     

The health hazards of potentially toxic metals in the daily diets of adults and children from a mining and smelting region (Hezhang County) in southwestern China

Toxic metals accumulated in the human body are predominantly absorbed by the digestive tract in non-occupationally exposed populations. In the current study, we collected plowed soil samples, and investigated the varied food compositions in a mining and smelting area in southwestern China, to measure the concentrations of ten potentially toxic metals—As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn. We collected information on the daily intakes of these metals to assess the health risks associated with their exposure among children and adults. The urine concentrations of the metals were also measured to obtain data on the amounts present in the body. The results showed that the hazard indexes (HIs) of As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Sr were all larger than 1, for both adults and children; the Zn and Cu values were comparatively higher in children. The intake of staple foods of the region posed the greatest health risk, while drinking water only posed risks clearly associated with As exposure. The urine samples of local residents contained larger amounts of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn, confirming the hazards in the health risk assessment. Obvious differences in the urine metal concentrations between men and women were confirmed. In conclusion, higher concentrations of metals in the surface soil and rain water were the predominant cause of elevated exposure through home-grown crops and produce to accumulate in local residents’ bodies.

Humic Acid Transport in Water-Saturated Porous Media

The presence of humic acid (HA) in water poses environmental problems because it enhances the transport of several contaminants. A series of column experiments was conducted toward studying HA transport in different porous media under various pH, ionic strength, and flow rate conditions. The results showed that decreasing pH and increasing ionic strength increased adsorption and therefore delayed the transport of HA in porous media. However, increasing flow rate accelerated the transport of HA in porous media. The effects of pH, ionic strength, and flow rate varied with the solid matrix and were more evident in sands of smaller average particle diameter than in those with larger ones. These factors must be considered when predicting the environmental fate of HA. The results also suggested that HA adsorption was an important process controlling HA transport and should be considered in studies of HA behavior in porous media.     

Adapting the RUSLE and GIS to model soil erosion risk in a mountains karst watershed, Guizhou Province, China

Soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in Guizhou Province, which is located in the centre of the karst areas of southwestern China. Unfortunately, Guizhou Province suffers from a lack of financial resources to research, monitor and model soil erosion at large watershed. In order to assess the soil erosion risk, soil erosion modeling at the watershed scale are urgently needed to be undertaken. This study integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) with a Geographic Information System (GIS) to estimate soil loss and identify the risk erosion areas in the Maotiao River watershed, which is a typical rural watershed in Guizhou Province. All factors used in the RUSLE were calculated for the watershed using local data. It was classified into five categories ranging from minimal risk to extreme erosion risk depending on the calculated soil erosion amount. The soil erosion map was linked to land use, elevation and slope maps to explore the relationship between soil erosion and environmental factors and identify the areas of soil erosion risk. The results can be used to advice the local government in prioritizing the areas of immediate erosion mitigation. The integrated approach allows for relatively easy, fast, and cost-effective estimation of spatially distributed soil erosion. It thus indicates that RUSLE-GIS model is a useful and efficient tool for evaluating and mapping soil erosion risk at a large watershed scale in Guizhou Province.     

Intensified inactivation of model and environmental bacteria by an atmospheric-pressure air-liquid discharge plasma compared with chlorination

Water-borne pathogenic bacteria are always the top priority to be removed through disinfection process in water treatment due to their threat to human health. It was necessary to develop novel disinfection methods since the conventional chlorine disinfection was inefficient in inactivating chlorine-resistant bacteria, inducing the viable but non-culturable(VBNC) bacteria and forming disinfection by-products(DBPs). In this study, the inactivation of four model strains including Gram-negative(G     

Measurement of HONO flux using the aerodynamic gradient method over an agricultural field in the Huaihe River Basin, China

To investigate nitrous acid(HONO) levels and potential HONO sources above crop rotation fields. The HONO fluxes were measured by the aerodynamic gradient(AG) method from 14 December 2019 to 2 January 2020 over an agricultural field in the Huaihe River Basin. The ambient HONO levels were measured at two different heights(0.15 and 1.5 m), showing a typical diurnal cycle with low daytime levels and high nighttime levels. The upward HONO fluxes were mostly observed during the day, whereas deposition...

N2O emissions from municipal solid waste landfills with selected infertile cover soils and leachate subsurface irrigation

This study presents the field investigations into the effects of cover soils and leachate subsurface irrigation on N₂O emissions from municipal solid waste landfills. Landfill Site A and Site B, covered with carefully chosen infertile soils, were selected to monitor their diurnal and seasonal variations of N₂O emissions. The annual average N₂O flux was 469 ± 796 μg N₂O-N m⁻² h⁻¹ in Site B with leachate subsurface irrigation, three times that of Site A without leachate irrigation. When an additional soil containing lower contents of carbon and nitrogen was introduced to cover part of Site B, its N₂O fluxes decreased by 1-2 orders of magnitude compared with the left area of Site B. This suggested that carefully selected cover soils could substantially reduce N₂O emissions even under leachate subsurface irrigation. Statistical analysis proved that the availabilities of soil moisture and mineralized nitrogen were the key parameters controlling landfill N₂O emissions.
