To study the characteristics of precipitation in eastern China, an automatic sampler was used to collect rainwater samples from 19
precipitation events at Mangdang Mountain, Nanping City, Fujiang Province, in the spring of 2009. We used ion chromatography to
analyze the ionic components and concentrations, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to analyze element
compositions and contents. The results demonstrated remarkable acidic characteristics: in more than 80% of precipitation events the
pH was less than 5.6, with an average of 4.81. Mass concentration results showed SO4
2?? was the main anionic component (36.2%
of the total anion mass), while NH4
+ was the main cationic component (47.7% of the total cation mass) and main ion for acidity
neutralization in the rainwater. Organic acid content accounted for 30.9% of total anion mass. The main trace metals were Ca, K, and
Na. The SO4
2??/NO3?? ratio was 1.4, indicating that precipitation in this region was influenced by complex air pollution – the product of
individual coal-burning combined with vehicle exhaust pollution. Correlation analysis of the chemical composition of the precipitation
indicated that acidity in this region was determined by a combination of all acidic and neutralization ions rather than any single ion
component. The results also showed that Na+ and Cl?? contributions were mainly by seawater; Mg2+ by seawater and crustal materials;
the NH4
+, K+, Ca2+, NO3?? and SO4
2?? by anthropogenic sources; the trace metals were from the Earth’s crust; and organic acids were
potentially from combustion of biomass. 相似文献
The purpose of the presented research is to identify local community opinions toward ecological problems in one of the mountainous region of Georgia (Upper Svaneti), to analyze how population ‘perceive, experience, and interpret’ the social, and ecological issues.
The paper is based on the results of Upper Svanet ipopulation’s survey which was carried out by the authors of presented paper during the August of 2015 and 2016.The questionnaire was elaborated taking into account the peculiarities of the region. Stratified-cluster selection method was used for selection of respondents and database compilation. For statistical analysis of polling data the SPSS package was used.
Based on the statistical analysis of survey results, the following issues have been studied: the most important ecological problems, environmental problems with respect to socio-economic ones, information sources on ecological problems, people’s trust in environmental issues, awareness level of the population on environmental policy, their personal contribution in environmental protection, ways to solve ecological problems, implemented environmental measures.
The obtained results are important to foster mountain population’s active participation in processes that contribute to decision-making processes, planning and implementing programs for sustainable development. 相似文献
