Illegal landfill in Italy (EU)—a multidisciplinary approach

Illegal dumping of solid waste is a matter of recent concern because of its numerous impacts. The regulatory framework of the European Union and Italy is disclosed. Degradation of air, bodies of water, groundwater, and soil can occur in the illegal landfill and surrounding sites causing e.g. acidification, eutrophication global warming and photochemical smog. Animals and plants are subjected to landfill borne pollutants that can damage them seriously. Landfill pollutants have also harmful effects on human beings raising the risk of illness such as cancer and cardiorespiratory disease. Finally illegal landfilling practices lead to economical, aesthetic impacts, and sociological discomfort that lead to multiple collective actions, blockages, and information campaigns, rising sense of belonging.     

金属有机骨架材料UiO-66的制备及其对溶液中NO_3~-的吸附

采用溶剂热法合成了金属有机骨架材料UiO-66。通过XRD、SEM、FTIR对其进行了表征。考察了UiO-66对溶液中NO_3~-的吸附性能。实验结果表明,加入冰乙酸作调节剂后,得到的UiO-66晶体形貌均匀,直径在100nm左右,结晶度更好。在初始溶液pH为5、反应温度为30℃的条件下,UiO-66吸附NO_3~-反应90 min后,吸附达到平衡,平衡吸附量为39.67 mg/g。UiO-66吸附NO_3~-的吸附行为符合Freundlich等温线和准二级动力学吸附模型。吸附作用主要是材料中金属位点Zr对NO_3~-的静电吸附。UiO-66材料具有良好的再生性能,可重复使用。     

From consultation to deliberation? Tracing deliberative norms in EIA frameworks in Swedish roads planning

This paper presents the results of an analysis of deliberative norms in the framework for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in roads planning in Sweden. The more specific question is how this framework has responded to the shift towards more deliberative approaches to planning and decision making, advocated in planning theory and policy literature over the last decade. The analysis, which compares the current framework and guidance with an earlier iteration, identifies a shift towards deliberation; deliberative norms are present, and even dominate recent guidance. However, an instrumental norm permeates both the former and the current guidance, suggesting that even as a language of consultation is replaced by one of deliberation, the intention remains to secure and legitimise a smooth development pathway. Evidence from interviews with professionals working in the Swedish EIA system highlights the difficulties of navigating these uncertainties in practice. By opening up critical analysis of deliberative norms as they shape the conditions for practice, this study contributes to the continuous development of planning practice, by supporting a more normatively reflexive approach to framework-design.     

Land-use and agriculture in Denmark around year 1900 and the quest for EU Water Framework Directive reference conditions in coastal waters

The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) aims to protect the ecological status of coastal waters. To establish acceptable boundaries between good and moderate ecological status, the WFD calls for reference conditions practically undisturbed by human impact. For Denmark, the nitrogen (N) concentrations present around year 1900 have been suggested to represent reference conditions. As the N load of coastal waters relates closely to runoff from land, any reduction in load links to agricultural activity. We challenge the current use of historical N balances to establish WFD reference conditions and initiate an alternative approach based on parish-level land-use statistics collected 1896/1900 and N concentrations in root zone percolates from experiments with year 1900-relevant management. This approach may be more widely applicable for landscapes with detailed historic information on agricultural activity. Using this approach, we find an average N concentration in root zone percolates that is close to that of current agriculture. Thus, considering Danish coastal waters to be practically unaffected by human activity around year 1900 remains futile as 75% of the land area was subject to agricultural activity with a substantial potential for N loss to the environment. It appears unlikely that the ecological state of coastal waters around year 1900 may serve as WFD reference condition.

Framework for the environmental impact assessment of operational shipping

Shipping is an important source of pollution affecting both atmospheric and aquatic environments. To allow for efficient mitigation of environmental degradation, it is essential to know the extent of the impacts of shipping in relation to other sources of pollution. Here, we give a perspective on a holistic approach to studies of the environmental impacts of operational shipping through presentation of an assessment framework developed and applied on a case of shipping in the Baltic Sea. Through transfer of knowledge and concepts, previously used in assessments of air pollution, now applied to assessments of marine pollution and underwater noise, the horizon of understanding of shipping-related impacts is significantly improved. It identifies the main areas of environmental degradation caused by shipping and potential improvements through legislation and technological development. However, as the vast majority of contaminants discharged into the sea are not routinely monitored and assessed, the links between pressure of contaminants from shipping and environmental state and impacts will not be caught in the current environmental regulatory frameworks.     

地震灾后重建规划环境影响评价特点和实施框架初探

5．12汶川特大地震灾害引起了社会和学术界对地震灾后重建规划广泛的关注。地震灾后重建规划几乎包含了当前规划领域中的所有挑战,是速度和质量兼顾、人性与理性权衡、社会经济与环境效益统一、多方博弈的过程,对灾后重建规划环评也从理论到实践层面提出了新的挑战。本文在对灾后重建规划特点进行归纳的基础上提出灾后重建规划环评相应具备的特点,即早期介入、与规划过程融合、增加灾害情景、突出规划协调性分析和应用反规划思路等特点,并进一步以《国家汶川地震灾后重建总体规划》为例说明了与灾后规划融合的环评流程、灾后规划环评的关键内容和评价思路。在对常用规划环评方法从信息成本、工作成本、客观和量化程度等原则进行评价后认为灾后重建规划环境评价中应有效利用比较评价法、GIS叠图法、生态承载力评价法等相对快捷、成熟或客观的方法。

工艺条件对鸟粪石法回收磷耗碱量的影响及其理论计算

通过分析磷回收过程中存在的各种耗碱因素,推导出耗碱量的理论计算公式,计算出了不同工艺条件下的理论耗碱量,并与小型连续搅拌反应-沉淀磷回收过程的实验实测值进行比较。结果表明,耗碱量的理论计算值与实验测定值的平均相对误差为13.20%,说明计算方法可用于耗碱量的工程估算;耗碱量随出水pH值的增大而急剧增加,随废水中氨氮含量和磷初始浓度的增加都近似于线性增加,但随镁磷比的增加基本不变。因此,从节约废水处理成本的角度看,磷回收过程中pH值应控制在9.2-9.3,氮磷比控制在3.0-5.0,镁磷比控制在1.1-1.2为佳。磷回收过程的药剂消耗量与废水中磷的浓度和工艺条件有关,以磷初始浓度为124 mg/L,N/Mg/P=5∶1.2∶1,出水pH值为9.20的回收过程为例,处理毎吨废水需消耗片碱0.5313 kg,成本约为1.328元,需消耗氯化镁（含六个结晶水）0.9758 kg,成本约为0.634元。因此,处理每吨废水的药剂成本约为1.962元,其中耗碱约占67.7%。
