Observation of black carbon aerosol in Beijing, 2003

The objective of this study was to determine the black carbon concentration in Beijing in 2003. The aerosol properties were measured using an Aethalometer and a tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) on the roof of the Physics Building of Peking University (39.99° N, 116.31° E) from July to August 2003 and from November 2003 to January 2004. The average black carbon (BC) concentrations in the summer and winter were 8.80 and 11.4 μg/m³, respectively. During winter, two different cyclone cut offs were installed at the inlet of an aethalometer. The BC mass concentration in TSP, PM₁₀, and PM_2.5 were obtained. The results indicated that in winter aerosol, 90% of BC exited in PM₁₀ and 82.6% of BC exited in PM_2.5. The BC in PM₁₀ accounted for 5.11% of the PM₁₀ mass.

A study of the atmospheric VOCs of Mount Tai in June 2006

Intensive field investigations were conducted at the summit of Mount Tai in June 2006 to understand the effects of the local and regional sources on atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) distributions. A total of 60 samples were collected and determined by quantitative analytical methods. The concentrations of the total VOCs (TVOCs) observed in the air of Mount Tai were 6.95 ± 5.71 ppb. Aromatic hydrocarbons provided the largest contribution to TVOCs, followed by alkanes and halocarbons. High levels of halocarbons accounted for 20% of TVOCs due to emission from a PVC plant located at the foot of Mount Tai. Alkenes and cycloalkanes contributed little to the total VOCs. The day-and-night differences and day-to-day variations in the concentrations of four selected species were investigated and the effects of several factors such as meteorological parameters, sources and transport characteristics on them were discussed in details. A back trajectory analysis showed that relatively higher levels of VOCs were related to long-range transport of pollutants from polluted areas. The vertical motions of air masses also had a large impact on the variations of the levels of VOCs. The result of the variability–lifetime relationships of VOCs, which is used to estimate the remoteness of the sampling location, showed that Mount Tai represents intermediate conditions between remote sites and sites in the vicinity of sources.     

城市停车场火灾风险性的评价

城市大型停车场的数量随着经济的发展在迅速增长,这些新建的停车场均向高层和地下空间发展,其投资费用都较大,一旦发生火灾,往往会造成严重的经济损失和人员伤亡事故,国内外停车场发生的一系列火灾事故充分证明了这一点.因此,对停车场进行火灾风险评价具有十分重要的意义.分析了停车场火灾的特点,并从停车场的火灾场景、发生轰燃的烟气条件、释放辐射热的大小、对面汽车被引燃的临界条件等几方面对停车场潜在的火灾风险性进行了探讨.以某地下停车场为例,对其火灾风险性进行了具体评价.

深厚覆盖层中弱透水层特性对渗流场的影响

中国西部地区的深厚覆盖层坝基中常存在弱透水层,对坝基渗流场有一定影响。基于非饱和土渗流理论,借助有限元软件Seep/w建立数值模型,得出渗流量和出逸坡降,并结合2个实际工程分析弱透水层深度、厚度、连续性对渗流场的影响。结果表明,采用悬挂式防渗墙或无防渗墙时,深度越小的弱透水层控渗效果越佳;深度越大的弱透水层与防渗墙形成的半封闭式联合防渗体系,越能有效控制渗流量和抑制出逸坡降。渗流量和出逸坡降都随着弱透水层厚度的增大而降低;弱透水层厚度及连续性对采用半封闭式防渗墙控渗时的渗流场影响最大,悬挂式防渗墙次之,全封闭式防渗墙最小。渗流量和出逸坡降随上游、底端开口长度的增加而增大;渗流量随下游开口长度的增加而增大,但出逸坡降随下游开口长度的增加呈先增大后减小的趋势。弱透水层的连续性对渗流场影响较小。采用半封闭式防渗墙时,渗流量和出逸坡降从高到低排序为底端开口、上游开口、下游开口。采用全封闭式防渗墙时,防渗墙承担主要的控渗任务,弱透水层的深度、厚度、连续性对渗流场的影响极小。     

超固结比对黏土热固结特性的影响研究

通过开展固结压缩试验,研究了超固结比(OCR)对海相沉积软黏土热固结特性的影响。试验结果表明:加温可能使软土发生沉降或回弹。在OCR较小的情况下,加温将使软黏土产生沉降;OCR越小,温度效应导致的沉降量越大,降温后回弹较少。在OCR较大的情况下,加温将使软土产生膨胀;降温后膨胀可部分恢复,且OCR越大恢复量越大。在此基础上,根据测试结果拟合了考虑OCR影响的热固结经验关系式。该式可用来预测不同应力状态条件下软土应变随温度变化的关系。     

内质网应激在PFOS致大鼠肝损伤中的作用

通过全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)28 d大鼠经口染毒评价PFOS肝损伤效应,探讨内质网应激在PFOS毒效应中的作用。Wistar大鼠随机分组,分别以0 mg·kg~(-1)、5 mg·kg~(-1)和10 mg·kg~(-1)PFOS灌胃染毒28 d。HE染色观察大鼠肝脏形态改变。ELISA法测定各组丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)、天门冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)和淀粉酶(AMY)含量变化。紫外分光光度法测定肝组织匀浆中丙二醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性变化。RT-PCR检测肝脏内质网应激标志蛋白表达水平。结果表明,PFOS造成大鼠体重降低、肝重增高(P0.05),组织切片显示肝细胞出现脂质沉积。PFOS不同剂量组大鼠ALT随暴露浓度增加,分别为(50.96±10.02)U·L~(-1)、(71.73±11.55)U·L~(-1),显著高于对照组(P0.05),AST、ALP含量与对照组相比显著上升(P0.05),高剂量组AMY水平为(833.46±63.05)U·L~(-1),与对照组相比显著降低(P0.05)。GSH-Px和SOD水平随PFOS浓度增加出现了显著降低(P0.05),而MDA水平显著升高(P0.05)。内质网应激标志蛋白表达均较对照组显著上升(P0.05)。以上结果说明PFOS可导致大鼠肝细胞损伤,其机制可能与内质网应激调控有关。     

An assessment of China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Agreement’s economic and environmental impacts on China

Recently, China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea (Korea) are conducting a government-commissioned feasibility study on the Free Trade Agreement among the three countries (CJKFTA) to form a regional free trade zone in East Asia. Considering that freer trade can cause unexpected impact on domestic environment, there is a need to evaluate the environmental impact of such a trade policy. This move should be made to help negotiators understand and pay more attention to environmental issues during CJKFTA negotiations, and to help lobby with the government to carry out appropriate policy instruments for adaptation or mitigation. Following the Chain Reaction Assessment Method that integrates and links the elements of trade, production, and environment, the present research aims to quantitatively assess CJKFTA’s possible impact on China’s environment. This is done by estimating the variations of China’s major conventional pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission in two policy scenarios to represent CJKFTA’s scale and composition effects on China’s environment. Estimating the variations is based on a static Computable General Equilibrium model, working with Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) 7 database and China’s energy-environment statistics. Based on these assessments, CJKFTA is predicted to lead to notable environmental impact, including increased emissions of agricultural total nitrogen, agricultural total phosphorus, chemical oxygen demand, and GHGs. On the other hand, decreased emissions of industrial SO₂ and dust are also expected to happen. Suitable policies need to be made to combat negative effects and amplify positive ones, while aiming at a more sustainable regional freer trade system.
