A Multi‐Scale Analysis of Single‐Family Residential Water Use in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area

Studies that evaluate determinants of residential water demand typically use data from a single spatial scale. Although household‐scale data are preferred, especially when econometric models are used, researchers may be limited to aggregate data. There is little, if any, empirical analysis to assess whether spatial scale may lead to ecological fallacy problems in residential water use research. Using linear mixed‐effects models, we compare the results for the relationship of single‐family water use with its determinants using data from the household and census tract scales in the city of Phoenix. Model results between the household and census tract scale are similar suggesting the ecological fallacy may not be significant. Common significant determinants on these two spatial scales include household size, household income, house age, pool size, irrigable lot size, precipitation, and temperature. We also use city/town scale data from the Phoenix metropolitan area to parameterize the linear mixed‐effects model. The difference in the parameter estimates of those common variables compared to the first two scales indicates there is spatial heterogeneity in the relationship between single‐family water use and its determinants among cities and towns. The negative relationship between single‐family house density and residential water use suggests that residential water consumption could be reduced through coordination of land use planning and water demand management.     

重庆市城镇居民生活区污水水质特征分析

随着城市化建设加快,城市人口增加。重庆市城区居民生活区所排污水已成为生活污水主要来源之一。对重庆市13家居民生活区污水进行监测的基础上,分析了污水的污染当量负荷比、污染物随时间变化规律,结果表明,重庆市城镇居民生活区污水未经处理,水质较差,化学需氧量达672.11 mg/L。污水经处理后,各项指标均有所削减,其中动植物油削减效果最好,削减率达77%。居民生活区主要污染因子为COD、BOD5。污染物浓度冬季最高,夏季最低,春秋两季浓度波动不大。早、中、晚污染物浓度变化不大,小范围内略有波动。     

乌鲁木齐市散煤燃烧大气污染物排放清单及时空分布特征

为研究乌鲁木齐市散煤燃烧对大气污染物的贡献情况,根据实地调研收集到的散煤燃烧活动水平数据,利用排放因子法建立2015年乌鲁木齐市散煤燃烧PM_2.5、SO₂和NO_x的排放清单,利用ArcGIS空间分析工具进行空间分布特征分析,使用蒙特卡罗方法进行不确定性分析.结果表明:2015年散煤燃烧排放PM_2.5、SO₂、NO_x分别为1.70×104、4.13×104、2.80×103 t.PM_2.5和SO₂排放的主要贡献区域为乌鲁木齐县,分别占排放总量的27.35%和26.23%,这是由于乌鲁木齐县社区居民和大棚种植耗煤量较大所致;NO_x排放的主要贡献区域为米东区,贡献率高达28.03%,这是因为米东区社区居民所用炉灶为手动炉排层燃炉灶,其排放因子较大所致.空间分布特征表明,污染物主要分布在米东区南部、沙依巴克区北部及乌鲁木齐县中部.不确定性分析表明,村庄、社区、大棚种植、商业和事业单位在95%的置信区间时不确定性分别为-69%~165%、-57%~116%、-68%~171%和-67%~165%.蒙特卡罗预测结果（平均值）高于排放清单的计算结果.研究显示,乌鲁木齐市散煤燃烧对污染物排放贡献较大,并且具有明显的季节性和区域性特征.

基于FDS的居民楼火灾烟气远距离传播过程研究

利用大涡模拟软件FDS对某居民楼火灾发生发展和烟气传播过程进行数值模拟,探讨烟气质量浓度在侧间-走廊建筑的分布情况。在不同房间的目标位置设置探测点,分析烟气质量浓度、CO体积分数分布。结果表明,距离火源位置最远的房间烟气质量浓度、CO体积分数最高且在短时间内达到致死浓度;烟气更容易在最远的房间聚集,在特定的时间段内,始终比其他房间的危险性要高。对于此类居民楼建筑火灾中的人员安全而言,最远端房间的危险性最高,火灾时要着重注意此区域的疏散。此外,在走廊顶棚上间隔适当的距离设置了挡烟垂壁,并且模拟了该工况下烟气质量浓度分布。结果表明,加入挡烟垂壁后走廊的烟气蔓延相对均匀,各个房间烟气质量浓度更为接近,最大烟气质量浓度也有明显降低,从而延缓了整个建筑达到危险状态的时间。

Soil Lead at Elementary Public Schools: Comparison Between School Properties and Residential Neighbourhoods of New Orleans

Soil studies, conducted in Maryland, Minnesota and Louisiana, have described the urban pattern of lead contamination. They have shown that the highest amounts of lead cluster within the interior of the largest cities. The results of the New Orleans urban patterns of distribution of soil lead provided the basis for further study. The hypothesis was tested that elementary school properties have the same pattern of soil lead contamination as their neighbouring residential communities. Thirty New Orleans Public Elementary Schools were selected for this study. Surface samples (2.5cm or 1 inch depth) were collected from playgrounds and next to entrances of each school. Results showed that soil lead on school properties follows the same relative contamination patterns (pvalue10^–5) as soil lead on residential properties of neighbouring communities. Schools however, have significantly lower lead contamination than the neighbouring residential properties. Innercity school properties present a higher risk of soil lead exposure than mid and outercity schools. Soils next to innercity school entrances showed the highest lead, with 18.5% having concentrations over 400gg^–1. Systematic landscaping around the school entrances would significantly reduce the hazard from lead dust contaminated soils.     

京津冀民用燃煤减排对大气中BaP污染影响评估

运用空气质量模型CMAQ模拟评估民用燃煤减排政策对京津冀大气中BaP污染状况的改进效果,模拟包括作为基准情景的2014年和低消减和高消减2个减排情景.模拟结果表明：基准情景下,京津冀BaP年均浓度为2.54ng/m³,超过国家空气质量标准（1ng/m³）,呈现1月 > 4月 > 10月 > 7月的季节变化特点,反映出冬季供暖燃煤的影响;京津冀南部BaP浓度高于北部,推测原因是南部BaP排放量较高.1月削减民用燃煤排放量对降低该地区BaP浓度和沉降量效果最显著,低削减和高削减下,北京、保定、廊坊BaP浓度分别比基准情景降低30%和40%以上;4、7、10月削减民用燃煤排放量对该地区BaP浓度和沉降量的变化影响不大.京津冀民用燃煤联防联控能更加有效地降低该地区BaP浓度.
