Influence of Environmental Contamination with PCBs on Human Health

Statistical data on different sicknesses have been processed to evaluate the dynamics of human health in Serpukhov City (an administrative centre in the Moscow region of Russia) and to estimate the contribution of ecological factors to the total level of morbidity. Chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) appear to be among the most dangerous contaminants of the ecosystem that includes the urban areas and those lands, which are actively used for vegetable production. A preliminary health risk calculation for PCBs has been done using soil contamination data. We estimated the share of cancer attributable to soil contamination with PCBs to be approximately 6% of the value of total cancer morbidity in Serpukhov. The highest level of soil pollution by PCBs occurred in the district of the city where the highest values of some other sicknesses also were located. The results of this study could be useful for decision-making and planning of environmental policy in the city.

本文试圈将分形理论及方法引入到区域人力资本空间结构的研究之中，首先利用马尔柯夫转移矩阵对山东省人力资本等级结构进行了预测，在这一基础上，计算出了1992年、1997年和2002年山东省人力资本空间结构的分维数。并对2007年的分维数进行了模拟，结果表明这一分维数不断下降。最后总结了山东省人力资本空间结构的特点。     

城市化与城市人居环境关系的定量研究--以大连市为例

本文以大连市为例．通过一系列的实证资料。建立数学模型．对城市化进程与城市人居环境的相互关系进行了研究，发现大连城市化水平与城市人居环境之间有很大的一致性．城市化水平越商，城市人居环境越好，反之，城市化水平越低，人居环境越差；并提出了大连城市发展的思路。

Farmers'''' Willingness-to-Pay for Environment and Human Health and Adoption of IPM

Although chemical control of pests increases crop production, it brings a lot of damage to environment and human health. There exist a number of alternative methods that are not so harmful to environment and human health. However, whether and how much in extent these technologies adopted are plausible depends on the comparison of benefit-cost between chemical control and the alternative control methods (such as Integrated Pest Management, IPM) and farmers' willingness-to-pay (WTP) for envirorment and human health. Using contingent valuation method (CVM), the author investigates farmers' WTP for environment and human health, recognizes the factors influencing WTP, and accordingly points out the importance of pest control technology extension and government regulation of pesticides.     

“半个地球”愿景下的保护地识别——基于全球主要优先保护模块

设立保护地是保护生物多样性的最有效举措。“半个地球”愿景提出将50%的面积纳入保护地,并有效保护85%的物种,是全球生态保护的目标。IUCN保护地分类系统是国际通用的标准,一系列优先保护模块研究则对保护地的识别进行着探索。本文旨在通过对这些模块的保护目标、识别标准等进行分析,为保护地科学识别提供合理参考。主要结论如下:（1）物种、栖息地与人类活动是各模块的主要考虑要素,识别标准包括物种丰富度、生境转变率、人类活动强度等;（2）各模块对生境转变率的考虑有“亡羊补牢”和“未雨绸缪”两种思路,对人类活动强度的考虑有直接和间接之分;（3）各模块分布面积占比在5.77%~25.32%之间,总范围占全球陆表的55.59%,超过了“半个地球”愿景的目标比例。     

Confronting a Surfeit of People: Reducing Global Human Numbers to Sustainable Levels An Essay on Population Two Centuries after Malthus

It has become increasingly evident over the past several decades that there is a growing tension between two seemingly irreconcilable trends: (1) moderate to conservative demographic projections that world population size could easily reach 9 billion (or more) by the mid-to-late twenty-first century; and (2) prudent and increasingly reliable scientific estimates suggesting that the Earth's long-term sustainable carrying capacity (at an 'adequate to comfortable' standard of living) may not be much greater than 2–3 billion. I therefore argue that it is now time – indeed, past time – to develop and implement a set of well-conceived, clearly articulated, broadly equitable and internationally coordinated sociopolitical initiatives that go beyond merely slowing the growth – or even the stabilization – of global human numbers. After summarizing a number of 'inescapable realities' that the human species must soon confront, and notwithstanding the considerable difficulties involved in establishing rational and defensible global population optimums, I conclude with several suggestions relevant to the next logical step: how best to bring about a very significant reduction in global population size over the next two to three centuries. To the extent that there is still time to choose whether this dramatic decrease will be under conscious control or essentially chaotic, these proposals are cautiously optimistic.     

地理标志农产品种植户气象灾害的适应策略研究——以陕西猕猴桃种植户为例

基于地理标志农产品种植户的实地调研数据,利用多元线性回归模型从生计维度研究种植户对猕猴桃物候期内气象灾害的感知及适应策略的影响因素。物候期内气象灾害的感知对种植户适应能力有显著影响。不同类别生计资本对于种植户采取适应策略的影响具有差异性：自然资本通过提升家庭生计基础显著影响种植户采取越冬期冻害、芽膨大期冻害适应策略;物质资本通过改善家庭生产物资形式影响种植户采取越冬期冻害适应策略;金融资本通过拓宽家庭金融收入渠道等方式显著影响种植户采取越冬期冻害、芽膨大期冻害、高温日灼灾害适应策略;社会资本通过丰富家庭同质性和异质性社会资本显著影响种植户采取夏季干旱适应策略;人力资本则通过提升家庭整体教育质量并推动再生产能力显著影响种植户采取芽膨大期冻害与秋季连阴雨适应策略。最后,建议政府应通过提升种植户获取气象信息能力、加强举办农业培训等技能学习活动、完善农业组织建设等措施以提升其适应能力。     

中国省域土壤重金属空间分布特征及分区管控对策

掌握土壤重金属空间分布特征及健康风险,对于落实分级分区的土壤污染管控措施具有重要意义.通过整理最近20年发表的706篇核心文献数据,从省域尺度上分析了我国土壤重金属空间分布特征、累积程度及其健康风险.结果表明,在省域尺度上土壤重金属具有明显的空间差异,整体呈现“南高北低,东高西低”的特征.耕地和建设用地土壤中重金属含量较高,且超标率高于草地和林地.中国大部分地区土壤重金属含量高于区域背景值,地累积指数为：Cd(1.80)>Pb(0.23)>Cu(0.17)>Zn(-0.05)>As(-0.56)>Cr(-0.69),超过85%省域土壤Cd达到中度污染水平.云南、贵州、广西、湖南和江西等有色金属资源型省份土壤重金属普遍高于其他省份,当地儿童面临较高的致癌风险.福建、浙江、江苏和天津等沿海地区土壤污染主要来源于工业生产和城市化建设.高强度农业利用是河南、山东和安徽等地区土壤重金属积累的重要原因.     

气候变化与人类活动对陆地水储量的影响

陆地水储量(TWS)是气候变化的重要指示,研究TWS有助于理解气候变化是如何影响水资源的循环。本文用GRACE重力卫星数据与气象资料恢复了2002—2016年我国陆地水储量的时空分布变化,运用M-K趋势分析判断陆地水储量与气候数据的趋势,并将具有显著趋势的地域划分为10个关键区域,其中:松花江流域、长江中下游流域、珠江流域、三江源自然保护区及青藏高原中部TWS趋于增加(2.76—7.14 mm?a~(-1)),而华北平原、黄土高原、辽河流域、天山山脉及雅鲁藏布江流域陆地水储量趋于减少(-1.47—-8.93 mm?a~(-1))。TWS与气候数据、气候环流指数的Spearman相关性的结果表明:TWS的变化主要受气候变化影响,气候变化是造成陆地水储量变化的主要因素,但在人口密集区域,人类活动对TWS的影响也不可忽视,如华北平原过度汲取地下水是造成TWS减少的重要原因。
