Determination of estrogens and estrogenic activities in water from three rivers in Tianjin, China

Studies on estrogenic disrupting compounds(EDCs) occurrence and identification of main responsible compounds in river water discharged into the sea are of significance.In the present research,we screened estrogenic activities of 10 river water samples from 3 main rivers discharged into Bohai Sea in Tianjin using a recombinant two-hybrid yeast assay and chemical analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.All sample extracts induced significant estrogenic activity,with 17β-estradiol equivalents(EEQ) of raw water ranging from 5.72 to 59.06 ng/L.Six most concerned EDCs in the river water samples including estrone,17β-estradiol,17α-ethinylestradiol,estriol,diethylstilbestrol and estradiol valerate were determined,with their concentrations up to 50.70,31.40,24.40,37.20,2.56,and 8.47 ng/L,respectively.Through causality analysis by comparing the EEQ values of yeast assay and chemical analysis,17α-ethinylestradiol and 17β-estradiol were identified as the main contributors to the estrogenic effects of the river samples,accounting for the whole estrogenic activities(62.99% to 185.66%),and estrogen antagonistic compounds might presented in the heavy polluted water samples.The proposed approach using both chemical analysis and bioassay could be used for identification and evaluation of the estrogenic activity of EDCs in river water.     

美丽城市内涵与美丽杭州建设战略研究

城市是环境、经济、社会的复合体与基本单元,美丽城市建设是美丽中国的重要基础和途径。本文在城市系统、城市形象、城市美学和生态文明建设理论的基础上,研究提出美丽城市建设的自然、环境、人居、经济、人文、生活等六大系统框架,提出评价指标体系构建思路原则。结合美丽杭州建设战略研究,提出了三大战略重点、四大战略途径和六大战略任务的总体框架。提出美丽城市建设需要重视格局、结构、质量的内在约束引导机制、区域分类指导机制以及差异化的评价指标体系建设的建议．为姜丽城市建设提供券者．     

云南潞西上芒岗红色粘土型金矿地质特征

潞西上芒岗红色粘土型金矿赋存于下二叠统岩溶面之上的第三、第四系红色粘土层中 ,矿体形态受地形控制明显 ,呈似层状。品位较高 ,规模中等 ,适合于露天开采。矿体的红土化作用不彻底 ,去硅富铁铝能力低 ,常见高岭石与伊利石共生。矿石中石英、褐铁矿、粘土矿物为主要载金矿物。成矿物质来自燕山中晚期形成的中侏罗勐嘎组中段与二叠系的沙子坡组的断层接触破碎带内的卡林型金矿。在湿热条件下 ,金发生活化、迁移、富集 ,在潜水面附近成矿。     

对中国排污收费制度改革的思考

排污收费制度是中国环境政策中一个核心的管理手段。它是我国为强化环境管理，运用经济手段，促进工业企业污染防治的一个独特的制度。在新的市场经济体制下和环境目标下，这项制度已不能适应社会主义市场经济发展的需要，因而在必要进行改革以适应新形势下环境保护工作的需要。在分析现行排污收费制度基础上，对我国现行的收费制度、政策和标准等的改革提出见解。
