Long-range transport potential of semivolatile organic chemicals in coupled air-water systems

Ongoing deliberations on the regulation of semivolatile organic chemicals require the assessment of chemical transport in atmospheric and marine systems. The characteristic travel distance was proposed as a measure for the transport potential in air and water. However, the existing definition treats the transport processes separately. It is shown that combined transport in coupled air-ocean systems can accelerate the overall transport into remote regions. Concentration ratios in air and water change with distance from sources depending on the initial concentration ratio and on the difference between the transport velocities. A measure is suggested facilitating the chemical screening with respect to transport potentials in such air-ocean systems. A case study for alpha and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane shows that the suggested measure qualitatively reveals the transport potentials of these chemicals and exemplifies possible concentration patterns.     

Arctic Residents' Observations and Human Impact Assessments in Understanding Environmental Changes in Boreal Forests: Russian Experience and Circumpolar Perspectives

Three methods of gathering local and traditional knowledge of Indigenous Peoples were used to assess environmental changes and human impacts in Russian boreal forest communities: structured interviews, followed by an unstructured interview, and an education/training workshop. The most important environment changes reported by Indigenous Peoples included the disappearance of animals and plants, climate changes, a decrease in forest and shrub area, and human impacts such as poaching, forests fires, industrial logging, clearing of forests for firewood, and water pollution by industrial wastes and discharges. We propose establishment of the Boreal Residents' Network for Socio-environment Assessments and Education for Sustainable Development to acquire local and traditional knowledge as a supplement to scientific monitoring. The proposed approach would involve permanent inhabitants living in a broad range of boreal forests to gather local and traditional knowledge and assessments. This could lead to a meta-database to share with international networks.     

新冠肺炎疫情期间我国人群交通出行行为分析

为了解我国新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19,简称“新冠肺炎”）疫情期间人群出行频次及交通方式,调查收集了2020年2月25日—3月14日我国31个省（自治区、直辖市）8 330名居民疫情期间的出行频次及交通方式等信息,并分析了其影响因素;对我国31个省（自治区、直辖市）按疫情严重程度进行等级划分,分析不同疫情等级下人群交通出行方式的差异,并与非疫情期间进行对比.结果表明:①新冠肺炎疫情期间调查人群中有75.1%的人有出行行为,其中,5.5%的人一天多次外出,17.6%的人每周出行频次不到一次.出行过程中乘坐公共交通和出租车这两类感染风险较高的交通工具的人数占比分别为6.3%和4.0%.②新冠肺炎疫情期间,我国居民的出行频次和交通方式可能受性别、年龄、城乡、片区等人口统计学变量以及当地或附近疑似/确诊病例情况的影响,还可能与所在省份疫情严重程度有关.西藏自治区、青海省等地区人群出行频次及交通方式受疫情影响变化相对较小,湖北省居民出行频次及交通方式与非疫情期间相比变化最大.③新冠肺炎疫情期间,我国成人居民选择步行和小轿车（出租车和私家车）出行的人数占比远高于非疫情期间,而选择公共交通和自行车或电动车等交通方式的人数占比与非疫情期间相比有所降低.研究发现,新冠肺炎疫情极大地改变了我国人群出行频次及交通方式.      

上海市终端能源消费的CO2排放影响因素定量分析

以对数平均指数法(LMDI)方法为基础,探讨了包括生活能耗在内的上海市终端能源消费CO2排放影响因素的分解方法,定量研究了能源强度下降、能源结构优化、产业结构调整、经济发展规模和人口数量等影响因素对CO2排放变化量的贡献率.研究表明,上海市2005~2009年CO2排放增长了2949万t,如果不采取任何减缓措施,经济增长和人口数量增加将导致CO2排放增长量相当于现在的2.5倍.能源强度下降、能源结构优化和产业结构调整起到了减缓CO2排放增长的作用,对减缓CO2排放增长的贡献率分别为-98%、-50%和-22%.与2000~2005年对比分析发现,工业部门能源强度下降和能源结构优化的减缓作用都有所下降,而产业结构调整开始发挥减排的作用,但贡献率还很低.生活能耗的CO2排放影响因素中,相较于人口数量增长,人均生活能耗上升是导致CO2排放增加的主要因素,且贡献率逐渐增大.     

典型工业源下风向居民住宅区PM2.5暴露评价

采用便携式PM_2.5采样仪于2010年10—11月对典型工业源——某钢铁厂下风向某住宅区室内、外的ρ(PM_2.5)进行同步监测,同时对该区域居民每日时间-活动模式进行问卷调查,以评价居民住宅区内PM_2.5潜在暴露剂量和暴露浓度(以ρ计)及探讨其影响因素. 结果表明:该钢铁厂下风向居民单位体质量、个体的住宅区内PM_2.5潜在暴露剂量分别为36.1 μg/(kg·d)、960.8 μg/d,日均暴露浓度为120.1 μg/m3. 影响居民个体住宅区内PM_2.5潜在暴露剂量的因素依次为工作日/周末>暴露浓度>文化程度;影响居民单位体质量住宅区内PM_2.5潜在暴露剂量的因素依次为体质量>年龄>文化程度>工作日/周末>暴露浓度;性别与二者均没有显著相关关系.      

Appraisal of coastal recreational resources in Qingdao by travel cost method

This paper serves to appraise the monetary cost of coastal recreational resources in Qingdao using the travel cost method (TCM), which is typically used in developed countries. The total revenue produced by Qingdao’s coastal recreational resources is about RMB 5.51×10¹⁰ annually, based on questionnaires given at Qingdao’s major tourist destinations. These questionnaires establish correlation functions that factor in the number of tourists, travel expenses, etc. The data processing software named Eviews was used to determine the tourist demand regression curve and to calculate their residual and actual travel expenses. The results of this study can provide a scientific basis for applicable industries interested in development and management decision-making. Therefore, this study assesses the reasonable usage of coastal recreational resources.     

What affects perceptions of local residents toward protected areas? A case study from Kure Mountains National Park,Turkey

Local residents’ active participation is essential in protected areas to ensure achievement of conservation goals. One of the important steps for ensuring the active participation of local residents is to determine the perceptions and the factors that influence the perceptions of the local residents toward the protected area. In this context, the researchers of this study try to come up with the perception formed among the local residents toward the protected areas and especially toward Kure Mountains National Park (KMNP), the factors that would influence their perceptions and the ways how their perceptions are influenced. Multivariate linear regression was used to examine the putative influence of variables on perceptions toward protected areas. According to study results, the survey respondents have displayed a positive perception toward the protected areas in the world and in KMNP. It was determined that the respondents formed a positive perception from their economic, environmental and recreational interaction with KMNP. Also, the outcomes of this study showed that the perception developed by local residents toward the protected areas in the world and KMNP are influenced by gender, the level of satisfaction derived from the national park, duration of their residence in the national park, and that the perception that KMNP conservation are beneficial for the source values of the area, the current protection works in the world, as well as its impacts on their living conditions.

城市居民低碳购买行为模型研究——基于五个城市的调研数据

随着全球气候的变暖,低碳生活、低碳消费成为人们关注的热点。本文通过构建模型,从消费者的个人层面和文化层面研究了中国城市居民低碳购买行为的影响因素,结果表明,城市居民的个人因素(低碳认知、低碳情感)和文化因素(集体主义、天人合一)以低碳购买态度为中介,进而正向影响其低碳购买意向,但它们的影响程度存在差异,个人因素对低碳购买态度的影响要大于文化因素,在个人因素中,低碳情感的影响要大于低碳认知,在文化因素中,天人合一的影响要略高于集体主义;而在低碳购买态度到购买意向之间会受到居民对低碳产品信任程度的调节作用。
