Highly sensitive and selective determination of malathion in vegetable extracts by an electrochemical sensor based on Cu-metal organic framework

Abstract

This article demonstrates the first application of a copper-based porous coordination polymer (BTCA-P-Cu-CP) as a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modifier for the detection of malathion. The electrochemical behavior of BTCA-P-Cu-CP/CPE was explored using cyclic voltammetry (CV) while chrono-amperometry methods were applied for the analytical evaluation of the sensor performance. Under optimized conditions, the developed sensor exhibited high reproducibility, stability, and wide dynamic range (0.6–24?nM) with the limits of detection and sensitivity equal to 0.17?nM and 5.7 µAnMcm^?1, respectively, based on inhibition signal measurement. Furthermore, the presence of common coexisting interfering species showed a minor change in signals (<4.4%). The developed sensor has been applied in the determination of malathion in spiked vegetable extracts. It exhibited promising results in term of fast and sensitive determination of malathion in real samples at trace level with recoveries of 91.0 to 104.4%. (RSDs < 5%, n?=?3). A comparison of the two studied techniques showed that the HPLC technique is unable to detect malathion when the concentration is lower than 1.8?µM while 0.006 µM is detected with appropriate RSDs 0.2–5.2% (n?=?3) by amperometric method. Due to the high sensitivity and selectivity, this new electrochemical sensor will be useful for monitoring trace malathion in real samples.     

环境公平问题既有研究述评及研究框架思考

环境不公平问题,日益成为经济发展现实中的一个重要问题,也日益成为环境经济学的一个着重关注领域,但既有的研究尚缺乏系统性和理论基础。本文系统梳理了国内外关于环境公平定义的代表性观点,在此基础上提出了作者对环境公平的认识。然后笔者在各种形式的环境不公平研究(包括不同群体间的环境不公平问题的研究和不同区域间的环境不公平问题的研究)、环境公平问题的研究方法(主要指基于地理信息系统获取相应的变量数据进而用计量模型的方法和借鉴收入差距的分析方法)等既有研究进行梳理和简要评述的基础上,提出:环境不公平问题的实质是经济利益不公平问题的转化与延伸,应在这一认识前提下来探讨环境公平问题、来建立环境公平问题的研究框架。进而提出:以经济学方法讨论利益主体之间如何实现公平享有环境利益、公平分配使用环境容量、公平承受环境破坏后果、公平分担环境维护责任、公平分担环境治理成本,是环境公平问题研究的主要方向。     

中国环保行政体制结构初探

环保行政体制结构是环保行政组织系统的基本框架,是实现环保行政管理职能的组织方式。我国长期以来的环保行政体制改革较为关注机构地位提升与管理职能强化,环保行政体制的结构较少得到关注。对环保行政体制结构的分析揭示了在机构地位提升与管理职能得到强化的前提下我国环保行政管理依然面临执法监督难、部门协调难等问难题的深层体制原因。本文首先根据组织行为学的基本原理,提出我国环保行政体制的矩阵结构模式,这一矩阵结构在纵向上存在双权威系统,横向上协调关系较为薄弱,从而造成环保监管权威弱化。其次,基于对我国地方环保行政体制改革效果的调查,指出我国环保行政体制结构出的了若干变化。最后,结合我国"十二五"时期落实国家环保意志的基本要求,提出改善我国环保行政体制结构的若干政策建议,即在基层改善体制结构中的双权威系统,并以流域水环境管理体制创新为大部门体制改革突破点,探索环境管理职能组织方式的优化途径。     

中国能源安全的路径选择与战略框架

能源是国民经济可持续发展的基础,可持续能源战略对保障国家能源安全具有重要意义,能源安全与能源战略日益成为当前国际社会和国家安全战略中备受关注的重大问题.本文从中国的现实状况出发,阐述了制定国家能源安全战略的重要性,提出了能源安全的选择路径,构建了全面性能源安全战略框架,为制定我国长期能源安全战略提供参考.论文认为:国家能源安全战略是能源可持续供给、社会经济健康发展、突发事件合理应对、生态环境安全的重要保障;中国能源安全的路径应从能源供给安全、能源生产和使用安全、能源运输安全、能源环境安全及能源安全预警机制等方面进行选择;健全能源管理体制、能源政策、能源市场、能源技术、能源战略储备、提高输送能力、能源环境与节能是能源安全战略框架的重要内容.并提出以下建议:建立国家能源安全综合协调机构;运用市场机制提高能源效率,促进能源利用多元化;加快替代能源和新能源的技术研发;加强能源资源的战略储备.     

The Anthropocene: From Global Change to Planetary Stewardship

Over the past century, the total material wealth of humanity has been enhanced. However, in the twenty-first century, we face scarcity in critical resources, the degradation of ecosystem services, and the erosion of the planet's capability to absorb our wastes. Equity issues remain stubbornly difficult to solve. This situation is novel in its speed, its global scale and its threat to the resilience of the Earth System. The advent of the Anthropence, the time interval in which human activities now rival global geophysical processes, suggests that we need to fundamentally alter our relationship with the planet we inhabit. Many approaches could be adopted, ranging from geoengineering solutions that purposefully manipulate parts of the Earth System to becoming active stewards of our own life support system. The Anthropocene is a reminder that the Holocene, during which complex human societies have developed, has been a stable, accommodating environment and is the only state of the Earth System that we know for sure can support contemporary society. The need to achieve effective planetary stewardship is urgent. As we go further into the Anthropocene, we risk driving the Earth System onto a trajectory toward more hostile states from which we cannot easily return.     

Environmental restoration of invaded ecosystems: How much versus how often?

This paper derives the optimal level of restorative efforts required to restore environments degraded by invasive species invasion. Specific attention is focused on a case when restoration faces the risk of failure through relapse of the restored environment caused by repeat invasions. The level of restored environment may also play a role in its future improvement or susceptibility to failure. The tradeoff between the optimal level of environmental quality and number of restorative efforts required to attain that given environmental quality is highlighted.     

Benchmarking of power cycles with CO2 capture—The impact of the selected framework

The paper puts focus on the selection of an appropriate framework for benchmarking studies of power cycles with CO₂ capture. The need for a reference power plant without CO₂ capture in a benchmarking study is emphasized. The impact of the use of site-specific plant boundary conditions is discussed as well as the selection of computational assumptions to reflect future technology development. A significant part of the paper is dedicated to a study of how changes in the benchmarking framework to reflect technology development can give additional knowledge about the potential for different CO₂ capture technologies. A major conclusion, based on the findings, is that it should be highly relevant for technology providers to investigate the future development potential for a CO₂ capture technology before launching a product development program.

Economic resilience to natural and man-made disasters: Multidisciplinary origins and contextual dimensions

Economic resilience is a major way to reduce losses from disasters. Its effectiveness would be further enhanced if it could be precisely defined and measured. This paper distinguishes static economic resilience—efficient allocation of existing resources—from dynamic economic resilience—speeding recovery through repair and reconstruction of the capital stock. Operational definitions are put forth that incorporate this important distinction. The consistency of the definitions is examined in relation to antecedents from several disciplines. The effectiveness of economic resilience is evaluated on the basis of recent empirical studies. In addition, its potential to be enhanced and eroded is analyzed in various contexts.
