Persistent organic pollutant in a fish community of a sub-alpine lake

This study investigated the presence of organochlorine pollutants in abiotic and biotic samples from Lake Como (Italy). DDTs and PCBs were found to be the major contaminants, ranging from 0.04 to 4.25 and from 0.25 to 40.8 μg/g lipid respectively. Evidence of biomagnification according to the trophic role of the investigated organisms was highlighted by means of Stable Isotope Analysis. A Trophic Magnification Factor (TMF) was calculated for the chemicals of interest and the applicability of the method for global use was confirmed. Statistically significant correlation has been found between the calculated trophic level and the concentrations of more lipophilic compounds, while for the less lipophilic (e.g., HCH, 3CBs) the relationship is no statistically significant and the TMF is close to 1.The role of the foraging area in affecting PCB and DDT concentrations within aquatic ecosystems has been highlighted by a Principal Component Analysis (PCA).     

Influence of the initial state of carbon nanotubes on their colloidal stability under natural conditions

The colloidal stability of dry and suspended carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the presence of amphiphilic compounds (i.e. natural organic matter or surfactants) at environmentally realistic concentrations was investigated over several days. The suspensions were analyzed for CNT concentration (UV-vis spectroscopy), particle size (nanoparticle tracking analysis), and CNT length and dispersion quality (TEM). When added in dry form, around 1% of the added CNTs remained suspended. Pre-dispersion in organic solvent or anionic detergent stabilized up to 65% of the added CNTs after 20 days of mild shaking and 5 days of settling. The initial state of the CNTs (dry vs. suspended) and the medium composition hence are critical determinants for the partitioning of CNTs between sediment and the water column. TEM analysis revealed that single suspended CNTs were present in all suspensions and that shaking and settling resulted in a fractionation of the CNTs with shorter CNTs remaining predominantly in suspension.

Air quality at a snowmobile staging area and snow chemistry on and off trail in a Rocky Mountain subalpine forest, Snowy Range, Wyoming

A study was begun in the winter of 2000–2001 and continued through the winter of 2001–2002 to examine air quality at the Green Rock snowmobile staging area at 2,985 m elevation in the Snowy Range of Wyoming. The study was designed to evaluate the effects of winter recreation snowmobile activity on air quality at this high elevation site by measuring levels of nitrogen oxides (NO _x , NO), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O₃) and particulate matter (PM₁₀ mass). Snowmobile numbers were higher weekends than weekdays, but numbers were difficult to quantify with an infrared sensor. Nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide were significantly higher weekends than weekdays. Ozone and particulate matter were not significantly different during the weekend compared to weekdays. Air quality data during the summer was also compared to the winter data. Carbon monoxide levels at the site were significantly higher during the winter than during the summer. Nitrogen oxides and particulates were significantly higher during the summer compared to winter. Nevertheless, air pollutants were well dispersed and diluted by strong winds common at the site, and it appears that snowmobile emissions did not have a significant impact on air quality at this high elevation ecosystem. Pollutant concentrations were generally low both winter and summer. In a separate study, water chemistry and snow density were measured from snow samples collected on and adjacent to a snowmobile trail. Snow on the trail was significantly denser and significantly more acidic with significantly higher concentrations of sodium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, fluoride, and sulfate than in snow off the trail. Snowmobile activity had no effect on nitrate levels in snow.

不同涂层电极和抑制剂对电化学氧化降解苯酚的影响

采用热分解法和电沉积法2种工艺制得4个二氧化铅电极,用扫描电镜（SEM）观察了电极表面形貌.以水杨酸(2-HBA)为捕获剂,用高效液相色谱仪测定羟基自由基与水杨酸的羟基化产物2,5-二羟基苯甲酸(2,5-DHBA)的量作为产生的羟基自由基的浓度.通过羟基自由基的浓度的测定和苯酚的降解,研究了不同涂层电极和抑制剂对电化学氧化对苯酚降解的影响.热分解电极、无掺杂电极、掺铋电极和掺镧电极产生羟基自由基的最大浓度分别为0.781、1.048、1.838、2.044 μmol/L,以这4个电极为阳极对苯酚进行电解, 1.5　h苯酚去除率分别为87.30%、93.55%、97.95%、98.70%,5　h　TOC去除率分别为86.75%、94.26%、98.53%、99.60%;以掺镧电极为阳极,加入抑制剂CO^2-₃、PO^3-₄、CH₃ＣＯＯ^-产生的羟基自由基的最大浓度分别为无检出、0.170 μmol/L、0.270 μmol/L,对苯酚进行电解,5 h苯酚去除率分别为99.06%、99.98%、99.79%.电沉积法制得电极对苯酚的降解效果优于热分解法制得的电极,而掺杂的电极优于无掺杂的电极,掺镧电极对苯酚降解效果最好,抑制剂CO^2-₃、PO^3-₄、CH₃ＣＯＯ^-存在时会对苯酚的降解起到阻碍作用,CO^2-₃阻碍作用最强.不同制备方法和掺杂不同添加剂制得的电极的催化性能不同,对苯酚的降解效果也不同;羟基自由基的浓度越大,苯酚的降解效果越好,抑制剂捕获了产生的羟基自由基,不利于苯酚的降解.
