北京冬季降尘重金属富集程度及综合污染评价

大气降尘可以反映大气颗粒物的自然沉降量,具有重要的环境指示意义.降尘重金属通过大气沉降进入土壤或水体,对人体健康、植物和水生生物等有危害作用.为了了解北京冬季降尘中重金属的含量水平、富集程度以及综合污染特征,于2013年11月~2014年3月收集了北京大气降尘样品49组,并用Elan DRC II型电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(ICP-MS)测试了降尘中Cd、Cr、Pb、Cu、Zn、Ni、Co、V、Bi、Mo等10种重金属的含量.结果表明,北京冬季降尘中重金属Cd、Bi和Mo的平均含量不足10 mg·kg~(-1),Co、Ni和V的平均含量在10~100 mg·kg~(-1)之间,而Pb、Cr、Cu和Zn的平均含量均超过100mg·kg~(-1);Cd、Zn、Cu的含量均超出土壤环境二级标准值,其中城区和近郊Cd、Zn、Cu的二级超标率分别为100%、97%、93.9%和100%、100%、81.2%.富集因子研究结果表明,Bi、Cu、Ni、Pb微量富集,主要来源于地壳或土壤源;Cd、Cr、Mo、Zn轻度富集,受自然源和人为源共同作用.论文在传统单一污染评价基础上,提出了"降尘重金属综合污染指数"模型,并探讨了北京降尘重金属的综合污染特征,结果表明北京城区冬季降尘中重金属的综合污染指数排序为CdZnCuPbCrNiVCo,并且Cd、Zn、Cu和Pb是冬季北京城区降尘中显著污染因子,其中Cd和Zn为极显著污染因子;北京近郊冬季降尘中重金属的综合污染指数排序为CdZnCuPbCrNiCoV,并且Cd、Zn、Cu、Pb和Cr是冬季北京近郊降尘中显著污染因子,其中Cd和Zn为极显著污染因子.

濮阳市VOCs污染特征及其臭氧生成潜势分析

以京津冀及周边"2+26"城市之一濮阳为例,对环境空气VOCs的污染特征及其臭氧生成潜势进行分析。研究表明:濮阳市的臭氧生成对VOCs浓度比较敏感,VOCs各组分的平均浓度表现为含氧有机物烷烃芳香烃烯烃炔烃,乙烯和丙酮是浓度水平最高的2种物质,对VOCs浓度贡献分别为11. 3%和10. 5%; VOCs各组分的臭氧生成潜势量表现为含氧有机物芳香烃烯烃烷烃炔烃。OFP排名前三位的是乙醛、乙烯和甲苯,其对臭氧生成的贡献量超过了总量的三分之一;制定关键物质选取原则,筛选出濮阳市VOCs的关键种类; VOCs及其关键种类与气温和风向存在一定的相关关系;濮阳市VOCs关键种类的污染主要来源于化石燃料燃烧、石油化工生产和溶剂涂料挥发等工业生产和机动车尾气排放等。     

Frequency versus time lost measures of absenteeism: Is the voluntariness distinction an urban legend?

We investigate a long‐standing methodological rule of thumb, the idea that the frequency of absenteeism from work approximates an expression of voluntary behavior while total time lost better reflects involuntary behavior and ill health. Conducting original meta‐analyses and using results from existing meta‐analyses, we determine that time lost and frequency are equally reliable, that the relationship between them approximates unity when corrections for measurement artifacts are applied, and that there is very little evidence for differential criterion‐related validity predicated on the voluntariness distinction. We supply new meta‐analytic estimates of the reliability of absenteeism adjusted for aggregation period and determine that most extant meta‐analyses of the correlates of absenteeism have markedly under‐corrected for unreliability. Our results question the basic construct validity of the time lost–frequency distinction, and they contradict the practice of using “trigger points” that factor absence frequency into attendance monitoring and associated discipline systems so as to discourage short‐term absenteeism, assumed to be volitional. We conclude that the idea that time lost and frequency reflect different degrees of voluntariness is an unsupported urban research legend. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Quantifying the relative irreplaceability of important bird and biodiversity areas

World governments have committed to increase the global protected areas coverage by 2020, but the effectiveness of this commitment for protecting biodiversity depends on where new protected areas are located. Threshold‐ and complementarity‐based approaches have been independently used to identify important sites for biodiversity. We brought together these approaches by performing a complementarity‐based analysis of irreplaceability in important bird and biodiversity areas (IBAs), which are sites identified using a threshold‐based approach. We determined whether irreplaceability values are higher inside than outside IBAs and whether any observed difference depends on known characteristics of the IBAs. We focused on 3 regions with comprehensive IBA inventories and bird distribution atlases: Australia, southern Africa, and Europe. Irreplaceability values were significantly higher inside than outside IBAs, although differences were much smaller in Europe than elsewhere. Higher irreplaceability values in IBAs were associated with the presence and number of restricted‐range species; number of criteria under which the site was identified; and mean geographic range size of the species for which the site was identified (trigger species). In addition, IBAs were characterized by higher irreplaceability values when using proportional species representation targets, rather than fixed targets. There were broadly comparable results when measuring irreplaceability for trigger species and when considering all bird species, which indicates a good surrogacy effect of the former. Recently, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has convened a consultation to consolidate global standards for the identification of key biodiversity areas (KBAs), building from existing approaches such as IBAs. Our results informed this consultation, and in particular a proposed irreplaceability criterion that will allow the new KBA standard to draw on the strengths of both threshold‐ and complementarity‐based approaches.     

Continuously and simultaneously optimizing an organization’s safety and security culture and climate: the Improvement Diamond for Excellence Achievement and Leadership in Safety & Security (IDEAL S&S) model

This article discusses an innovative approach to measure and to enhance a company’s safety culture and climate as well as its security culture and climate in one go. A safety and security culture and climate model using three dimensions (People, Procedures and Technology) is suggested to form the building blocks of the model. The Improvement Diamond for Excellence Achievement and Leadership in Safety and Security (abbreviated IDEAL S&S) model’s structure is shaped by integrating the principles of Performance Management into the well-known and much used concept of the PDCA cycle or loop of continuous improvement. This way, the model can easily be used and implemented by any organization. Furthermore, a Roadmap is provided for introducing and applying the model and the approach to test the model in a real industrial setting is explained and discussed.
