Integrated background monitoring in the USSR

The whole biosphere of the Earth is faced with an increasing anthropogenic pressure. Mankind uses natural resources for its physical and spiritual demands so widely that undesirable effects appear not only in separate regions but embrace the whole biosphere as well. As a rule, such processes develop slowly. They have an irreversible character and to avoid them, preventive decisions are needed. For that purpose, comprehensive and systematic information on the state of the biosphere is needed.The integrated background monitoring system has been implemented and is in operation in the USSR. Structurally, the integrated background monitoring system is divided into three groups: background stations on land; background stations on fresh water; and background stations on inland and periphery seas.All of the data received from these stations are analyzed and correlated at the Natural Environment and Climate Monitoring Laboratory of the USSR State Committee for Hydrometeorology and Control of the Natural Environment, the USSR Academy of Sciences, and in other scientific institutes of the State Committee. The information serves for the assessment of the state of the environment, prediction of anthropogenic effects, and for evaluation of the measures taken to prevent pollution of the biosphere at national and international levels.The information is shared in a wide international exchange within the framework of several international organizations (UNEP, WMO, UNESCO, ECE, CMEA, and others) and of the bilateral agreements on cooperation in the field of environmental protection (USA, France, Sweden, FRG, CMEA Member Countries).

人工神经网络模型在地震安全评价中的应用

地震影响系数是地震安全评价的一个重要参数 ,其分布受到场地条件和基岩条件的共同影响 ,对场地影响的考虑相对比较成熟 ,对基岩的影响则相对考虑较少 ,难以满足城市和重大工程设防的要求。综合考虑基岩条件和场地条件的地震影响系数计算 ,关键在于确定基岩裂缝、能量、位移、场地等指标的分布与地震影响系数之间的关系 ,由于这种非线性关系需要构建多元非线性模型 ,故通过应用人工神经网络方法 ,得到地震影响系数计算模型。以唐山市为实例 ,进行了计算并分析了计算结果 ,为城市规划和工程建设提出了几点建议     

Continuous-flow fractionation of trace metals in environmental solids using rotating coiled columns. Some kinetic aspects and applicability of three-step BCR leaching schemes

The applicability of the three-step BCR leaching scheme to the continuous-flow fractionation of trace metals (TM) using rotating coiled columns (RCC) has been investigated taking soil and sediment reference samples (SRM-2710, CRM-601, BCR-701) as examples. A particulate sample was retained in the rotating column as the stationary phase under the action of centrifugal forces while different eluents, used according to the original and optimised BCR protocols, were continuously pumped through. The whole procedure required 3-4 h instead of at least 50 h needed for the traditional sequential extraction. It has been shown that in comparison with batch sequential extraction procedures (SEP), the recoveries of Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb at the first stage (most mobile and potentially dangerous acid soluble forms) are somewhat higher, if a dynamic extraction in RCC is used. Nevertheless, the distribution patterns for TM in the first two leachable fractions (acid soluble and reducible forms) are similar in most cases. Since no heating is used in RCC, the recoveries of TM at the third stage (when hydrogen peroxide is applied to oxidize the organic matter) may be incomplete and matrix-dependent. The effect of eluent volume and flow rate on the recovery of TM in different forms has been investigated. It has been shown that the kinetics of heavy metal leaching vary significantly with samples. Hence, investigating the elution profiles can provide additional important information for risk assessment of TM mobilization.     

Effect of manure on Escherichia coli attachment to soil

Attachment of bacteria to soil is an important component of bacterial fate and transport. Escherichia coli are commonly used as indicators of fecal contamination in the environment. Despite the fact that E. coli are derived exclusively from feces or manure, effect of the presence of manure colloids on bacteria attachment to agricultural soils was never directly studied. The objective of this work was to evaluate the magnitude of the effect of manure on E. coli attachment to soil. Escherichia coli attachment to soil was studied in batch experiments with samples of loam and sandy clay loam topsoil that were taken in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Escherichia coli cells were added to the water-manure suspensions containing 0, 20, and 40 g L(-1) of filtered liquid bovine manure, which subsequently were equilibrated with air-dry sieved soil in different soil to suspension ratios. The Langmuir isotherm equation was fitted to data. Manure dramatically affected E. coli attachment to soil. Attachment isotherms were closer to linear without manure and were strongly nonlinear in the presence of manure. The maximum E. coli attachment occurred in the absence of manure. Increasing manure content generally resulted in decreased attachment.

不同红外分光法对水中污染油分析的研究

采用两种不同的红外光度法(分散红外分光光度法和非分散红外光度法)对不同组成的矿物油进行了比较测定,结果表明:当矿物油中的芳烃含量与“标准油”中芳烃含量相近时,两种方法分析结果基本一致;当矿物油中芳烃含量较高时,非分散红外光度法测定结果明显偏低;当样品中芳香烃含量与“标准油”中的芳香烃含量相差较大时,采用分散红外光度法,可以获得更准确、可靠的结果。研究结果还表明,随着测试样品中芳烃含量的增加(>50%),分散红外光度法也会出现较大的偏差。

中国季风区降水构成对降水中稳定同位素的影响：以长沙为例

降水构成是指对流或平流降水量在总降水量中所占比例,不同的降水构成对降水稳定同位素的丰度会产生重要的影响。基于长沙地区实测的日降水稳定同位素数据和GNIP月降水同位素数据,对不同时间尺度、不同季节时段以及不同降水强度下降水构成对降水中稳定同位素影响的变化特征进行分析和比较,旨在揭示不同的降水构成对降水中稳定同位素影响的差异,深化对季风区降水形成过程中稳定同位素变化规律的认识。结果表明：云中对流强度的差异造成了不同季节对流降水量占总降水量的比例（convective precipitation fraction,CPF）与总降水量之间相关关系的差异。在日和月时间尺度下,在暖半年,CPF随总降水量的增大而减小,而在冷半年,CPF随总降水量的增大而增大。无论是在暖半年还是在冷半年,日时间尺度下长沙站降水中的δ¹⁸O随CPF增大不断偏正。在月时间尺度下,包括长沙站在内的中国季风区大部,降水中δ¹⁸O与CPF均呈正相关。由于不同季节对流活动的强度不同会造成降水构成的不同,也使得相对于暖半年,冷半年时段降水构成对降水中稳定同位素的影响要强于降水量效应的影响,因此在冷半年长沙地区δ¹¹⁸O—CPF线性回归方程的斜率随降水强度的增大而增大,而在暖半年,δ¹⁸O—CPF斜率随降水强度的增大而减小。
