低温条件下生态槽深度处理农村生活污水的日变化特性

针对农村生活污水处理设施出水水质偏高污染环境的现状,构建了以水生植物为主体的生态槽深度处理农村生活污水,研究了低温条件下生态槽深度处理生活污水过程中DO、pH、COD、NH4+-N、TP等指标的日变化特性。结果表明,生活污水COD为37.67～60.23 mg/L、NH4+-N为13.66～16.76 mg/L、TP为1.32～1.78 mg/L、水温为9～11℃,HRT为5 d时,生态槽出水COD、NH4+-N和TP平均为21.07 mg/L、0.99 mg/L和0.19 mg/L,均可达《地表水环境质量标准》(GB3838-2002)之Ⅳ类水标准。各级生态槽内DO浓度夜间低于昼间。夜间植物对NH4+-N和TP具有较强的吸收作用,平均去除率分别达94.83%和89.87%;而TN去除效果稍差,平均去除率为59.9%。     

A biogenic volatile organic compound emission inventory for Hong Kong

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in the atmosphere react to form ozone and secondary organic aerosols, which deteriorate air quality, affect human health, and indirectly influence global climate changes. The present study aims to provide a preliminary assessment of BVOC emissions in Hong Kong (HKSAR). Thriteen local tree species were measured for their isoprene emission potential. Tree distribution was estimated for country park areas based on field survey data. Plant emission data obtained from measurements and the literature, tree distribution estimation data, land use information, and meteorological data were combined to estimate annual BVOC emissions of 8.6×10⁹ g C for Hong Kong. Isoprene, monoterpenes, and other VOCs contributed about 30%, 40%, and 30% of the estimated total annual emissions, respectively. Although hundreds of plant species are found in Hong Kong country parks, the model results indicate that only 10 tree species contribute about 76% of total annual VOC emissions. Prominent seasonal and diurnal variations in emissions were also predicted by the model. The present study lays a solid foundation for future local research, and results can be applied for studying BVOC emissions in nearby southern China and Asian regions that share similar climate and plant distributions.     

The anthropogenic atmospheric elements fraction: A new interpretation of elemental deposits on tree barks

The superficial deposit on the bark surface of several trees (mainly Fraxinus excelsior L.) was sampled in the experimental station of the university campus in Grenoble (France). Its composition was studied by scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray emission (SEM–EDX) and, after digestion, by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The deposit was composed of 81.3% ± 7.4 organic matter, 9.4% ± 4.9 of geogenic minerals issued from the atmosphere (atmospheric geogenic fraction: AGF) and 9.3% ± 2.7 of a mixture of elements which was called anthropogenic atmospheric elements fraction (AAEF). The SEM–EDX analysis showed the presence of particles of geogenic compounds such as different types of silicates, phosphates, carbonates, sulphates, oxides and also particles of metals such as iron or of alloys of Fe–Zn, Fe–Ni, Ni–Cr and Ca sulphates or phosphates. Typical spheres of “fly ashes” composed of pure iron or Al-silicates were detected. Using the SEM–EDX analysis of the deposit and the average local soil composition, an empiric formula for the AGF (without polluting elements) was chosen, which presented a clear analogy with the global formula of the upper continental crust. In the same way, a formula for the pure organic matter fraction was chosen. Withdrawing the elements corresponding to these two fractions allows a tentative estimation of the content of the AAEF which was supposed to better represent the elemental anthropogenic contamination issued from the atmosphere. In the station, most of Sb, Cd, Sn, Pb, Cu, V and Zn were found in the AAEF. This AAEF composition was compared to that of the deposit in a highway tunnel where Pb and Cu were at a very high level. The meaning and the limits of the AAEF concept were critically discussed.

基于适宜性评价的中心城区建设用地布局——以杭州市为例

中心城区建设用地布局优化有助于发挥建设用地的最大效益,关系整个区域土地资源的合理利用和社会经济的可持续发展。采用主成分分析方法从栅格尺度评价杭州市中心城区建设用地适宜性,同时针对中心城区的特点侧重于经济适宜性,并结合GIS技术,实现基于建设用地适宜性评价的中心城区建设用地布局方案。结果表明:侧重经济适宜性的建设用地适宜性评价结果作为杭州市中心城区建设用地布局的决策依据是科学合理的,有助于确定未来城市发展的优势区位,并且布局方案相对紧凑,能有效引导城市紧凑化发展,抑制城市沿主干道蔓延式开发。另外,基于适宜性评价的中心城区建设用地布局是一种自上而下的布局方式,较难体现邻域动态影响、局部规则的交互作用以及不同主体城市开发决策行为所导致的空间格局,可能导致布局结果与城市实际发展情况的偏离,对此仍有待进一步深入研究。     

Effect of Zn toxicity on root morphology,ultrastructure, and the ability to accumulate Zn in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens)

The effects of zinc (Zn) on seed germination and growth of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) were investigated. Under zinc stress, the seed germination rate did not show significant difference from that of the control. Hydroponics experiments indicated that Moso bamboo had a strong ability to accumulate Zn in the shoot and it reached its maximum value in the shoot at 100 μM Zn. The root Zn concentration ranged from 2,329.29 to 8,642.51 mg kg^?1, with the root Zn concentration at 10 μM Zn being 58.23 times that of the control. The root morphology parameters slightly increased at the lower Zn treatments, while growth restriction was evident at higher Zn treatments. Root ultrastructural studies revealed that the cell structure, root tips, and organelles were significantly changed under Zn stress as compared to those of the control. Some abnormalities were evident in the cell walls, vacuoles, mitochondria, plasmalemma, tonoplast, and xylem parenchyma of root cells. While Moso bamboo seems a suitable candidate for phytoremediation, its metal remediation ability should be further explored in future investigations.     

论环境法的价值指涉

环境法的价值是环境法学科体系建设的出发点和归宿。价值是主体对评判对象的评价,评估主体的认定是价值确定的前提。环境法的价值指涉遵循生态规律,协调人与自然的关系,维系稳定的秩序,保障公平、公正的分配正义。

Rice consumption contributes to low level methylmercury exposure in southern China

Fish consumption is considered as the primary pathway of human methylmercury (MeHg) exposure. However, recent studies highlighted that, rice, rather than fish, is the main route of human MeHg exposure in Guizhou, inland China. China is considered as the largest anthropogenic source of mercury (Hg) emission in the world, which has led to serious environmental Hg pollution. But there are no comprehensive studies regarding this environmental health problem to evaluate human Hg exposure and associated health effects. This study aimed to estimate daily MeHg intake and health risk in 7 provinces in southern China, and to assess the relative contribution from rice and fish consumption. The average levels of total mercury (THg) and MeHg in rice samples were generally low at 10.1 ng·g^− 1 and 2.47 ng·g^− 1, respectively. But a total of 36 rice samples (12.7%) had THg concentration exceeding the national limit (20 ng·g^− 1). Generally, rural population had significantly higher Probable Daily Intakes (PDIs) of MeHg than urban population from rice consumption and its relative contribution to MeHg exposure increased significantly from coastal to inland area. The averages of PDIs of MeHg were 0.020 μg·kg^− 1·d^− 1 and 0.028 μg·kg^− 1·d^− 1 for urban and rural population in southern China, respectively. Despite the serious environmental Hg pollutions in China, the general population in southern China had low risk of MeHg exposure. But rice is an important route of human MeHg exposure in southern China, especially for the rural population in inland area. The findings indicate that rice consumption should be considered when evaluating MeHg exposure in rice eating population in southern China.
