Identifying factors that influence soil heavy metals by using categorical regression analysis: A case study in Beijing,China

A method was proposed to identify the main influence factors of soil heavy metals. The influence degree of different environmental factors was ranked. Parent material, soil type, land use and industrial activity were main factors. Interactions between some factors obviously affected soil heavy metal distribution. Identifying the factors that influence the heavy metal contents of soil could reveal the sources of soil heavy metal pollution. In this study, a categorical regression was used to identify the factors that influence soil heavy metals. First, environmental factors were associated with soil heavy metal data, and then, the degree of influence of different factors on the soil heavy metal contents in Beijing was analyzed using a categorical regression. The results showed that the soil parent material, soil type, land use type, and industrial activity were the main influencing factors, which suggested that these four factors were important sources of soil heavy metals in Beijing. In addition, population density had a certain influence on the soil Pb and Zn contents. The distribution of soil As, Cd, Pb, and Zn was markedly influenced by interactions, such as traffic activity and land use type, industrial activity and population density. The spatial distribution of soil heavy metal hotspots corresponded well with the influencing factors, such as industrial activity, population density, and soil parent material. In this study, the main factors affecting soil heavy metals were identified, and the degree of their influence was ranked. A categorical regression represents a suitable method for identifying the factors that influence soil heavy metal contents and could be used to study the genetic process of regional soil heavy metal pollution.     

Influence of aeration on CH4, N2O and NH3 emissions during aerobic composting of a chicken manure and high C/N waste mixture

Co-composting of chicken manure, straw and dry grasses was investigated in a forced aeration system to estimate the effect of aeration rates on NH₃, CH₄ and N₂O emissions and compost quality. Continuous measurements of gas emissions were carried out and detailed gas emission patterns were obtained using an intermittent-aeration of 30 min on/30 min off at rates of 0.01 (A1), 0.1 (A2) and 0.2 (A3) m³ min⁻¹ m⁻³. Concentrations of CH₄ and N₂O at the low aeration rate (A1) were significantly greater than those at the other two rates, but there was no significant difference between the A2 and A3 treatments. CH₄ and N₂O emissions for this mixture could be controlled when the composting process was aerobic and ammonia emissions were reduced at a lower aeration rate. Comparison of CH₄, N₂O, NH₃ emissions and compost quality showed that the aeration rate of the A2 treatment was superior to the other two aeration rates.

北京市凉凤灌区土壤重金属的积累及其变化趋势

其含量的几何平均值(0.147mg·kg-1)为北京市土壤Hg背景值(0.0576mg·kg-1)的2.5倍.除Cd、Ni外,其它5种重金属都存在不同程度的积累现象(超过基线值),Hg的超标率(超过基线值)高达34.5%;Pb、Cu次之,超标率分别为8.86%、8.33%;Zn、Cr、As污染相对较轻一些,超标率为2.41%、1.20%、1.19%;没有发现Cd、Ni污染问题.与20世纪70年代中期的调查结果比较发现,经过近30年后,该地区的土壤Hg、Pb、Cu、As含量分别增加了11.4%、40%、26%、9.0%.结果表明,污水灌溉是导致土壤重金属积累的重要原因之一,Hg、Pb是该灌区土壤中需要优先控制的重金属.     

空间插值模型对土壤Cd污染评价结果的影响

分析和比较了不同插值模型(反距离加权、局部多项式、普通克里格和径向基函数)对土壤Cd空间插值、污染面积估算和污染区空间分布的影响,结果表明,插值方法对极大值都存在不同程度的平滑,交叉验证的Cd极大值插值的相对误差高于45.1%.不同插值模型估算的污染区域面积在0～2.12%之间.根据样点超标率估算的污染面积比插值模型估算的面积高1.53%～3.65%.污染评价结果不确定性较大的区域主要是在局部极大值区域和高值向低值的过渡区域.因此,土壤重金属的空间插值精度对污染评价结果有很大影响,开展土壤重金属污染调查时应注意在浓度过渡区域加大采样密度.

Cadmium accumulation and tolerance of two castor cultivars in relation to antioxidant systems

To investigate the effects of Cd on tolerance and antioxidant activities of castor, two different castor（Ricinus communis L.） cultivars（Zibo No. 5 and Zibo No. 8） were used for a hydroponic experiment（0, 1 and 2 mg/L Cd） and a pot experiment using Cd-contaminated soil（34 mg/kg） with the addition of ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid（EDTA）. The results indicated that there were significant differences between the two cultivars with respect to Cd uptake in shoots（113–248 mg/kg for Zibo No. 5 and 130–288 mg/kg Zibo No. 8）, biomass tolerance indexes（64.9%–74.6% for Zibo No. 5 and 80.1%–90.9% for Zibo No. 8） in the hydroponic experiment and survival rates（0% for Zibo No. 5 and 100% for Zibo No. 8）determined by the addition of EDTA in the pot experiment, suggesting that Zibo No. 8 has higher tolerance than Zibo No. 5. Moreover, the castor cultivars have low bioconcentration factors（4.80% for Zibo No. 5 and 5.43% for Zibo No. 8） and low translocation factors（〈1%）.Consequently, Zibo No. 8 can participate in Cd phytostabilization in highly Cd-polluted areas. The results indicated that glutathione（GSH） as a non-enzymatic antioxidant, and antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase（SOD）, catalase（CAT） and guaiacol peroxidase（GPX）, were cultivar- and dose-dependent. The higher tolerance of Zibo No. 8compared with Zibo No. 5 can be attributed to the higher GSH levels in the root and higher GPX activity in the leaf.     

广西环江铅锌矿尾砂坝坍塌对农田土壤的污染及其特征

广西环江县因铅锌金属矿区尾砂坝坍塌导致大面积农田污染甚至绝收.为此,对矿区下游污染区和非污染区的农田土壤、尾砂和河流沉积物进行了系统调查和研究.调查结果表明,农田遭受As、Pb、Zn和cd污染,土壤酸化严重,pH值最低至2.5,全硫含量高达2.29%.X-衍射鉴定结果表明,受污染土壤中存在大量硫铁矿,这是导致土壤酸化的主要物质.由于强酸性淋溶作用的影响,污染农田中La、Ce和Nd等稀土元素发生明显的向下淋溶现象,导致表层土壤La、Ce和Nd元素含量明显低于未污染农田.从土壤剖面分布来看,污染点的土壤中As、Pb和Zn仍主要集中分布在表层0～30 cm范围,发生土壤酸化现象的土层深度仍局限于0～70 cm范围.     

钢铁工业遗留场地土壤重金属洗脱剂筛选研究

土壤重金属污染限制了工业遗留场地再利用,通过振荡试验考察了HCl、HNO3和EDTA对工业遗留场地土壤中超标重金属Pb、Zn、Cd和As的洗脱效果。结果表明：土壤Pb、Zn、Cd、As的脱除效果均随洗脱剂浓度增加而增加;HCl、HNO3和EDTA等3种洗脱剂浓度分别为0.5、0.5和0.1 mol.L-1时,土壤Pb、Cd质量分数可降低至场地安全再利用的控制标准以内（分别为140 mg.kg-1、1mg.kg-1）;洗脱剂浓度分别增至2、2和0.2 mol.L-1时,土壤Pb、Cd质量分数继续降低,Zn、As质量分数有大幅降低但没有达到其相应的场地安全控制标准（分别为200、20 mg.kg-1）;与EDTA相比,HCl在低浓度时的重金属脱除效果较差,但HCl浓度增加对重金属脱除率的提高效果更为明显;洗脱液pH值（7.88~0.15）与重金属脱除率均呈显著负相关且与As的负相关系数最小,说明洗脱液pH值变化对As去除的影响相对较小;与HCl和HNO3相比,EDTA洗脱液pH值与Pb脱除率之间的负相关系数较大,与Zn、Cd、As脱除率之间的负相关系数较较小,说明EDTA洗脱液pH值变化更易对Pb的去除产生影响。     

砷超富集植物蜈蚣草中磷和钙的亚细胞分布及其与耐砷毒的关系

为了在研究砷超富集植物蜈蚣草中磷和钙的亚细胞分布,并探讨其与蜈蚣草耐砷毒的关系进行了试验研究.结果表明,蜈蚣草吸收的磷主要分布在胞质组分中(平均占各部位总磷含量的44%以上),吸收的钙主要分布在细胞壁组分中(平均占各部位总钙含量的48%以上).与低钙(0.03和2.5 mmol·L-1)处理相比,高钙(5.0 mmol·L-1)处理时,根部的胞质组分和叶柄的细胞器组分中磷含量较高.各器官的亚细胞组分中钙含量随着介质中添加钙浓度的提高而增加.介质钙浓度过高会抑制蜈蚣草的生长.在加砷处理下,根部和叶柄细胞壁组分的磷含量有所减少,但地上部细胞器组分的磷含量及其含磷总量占植株含磷总量的相对比例、根部细胞壁组分的钙含量增加.蜈蚣草自主调节磷和钙的亚细胞水平分布可能是其耐砷毒的机制之一.
