Levels and source apportionment of volatile organic compounds in southwestern area of Mexico City

Thirteen volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were quantified at three sites in southwestern Mexico City from July 2000 to February 2001. High concentrations of different VOCs were found at a Gasoline refueling station (GS), a Condominium area (CA), and at the University Center for Atmospheric Sciences (CAS). The most abundant VOCs at CA and CAS were propane, n-butane, toluene, acetylene and pentane. In comparison, at GS the most abundant were toluene, pentane, propane, n-butane, and acetylene. Benzene, a known carcinogenic compound had average levels of 28, 35 and 250 ppbC at CAS, CA, and GS respectively. The main contributing sources of the measured VOCs at CA and CAS were the handling and management of LP (Liquid Propane) gas, vehicle exhaust, asphalt works, and use of solvents. At GS almost all of the VOCs came from vehicle exhaust and fuel evaporation, although components of LP gas were also present. Based on the overall results possible abatement strategies are discussed.     

Vulnerability Assessment of Snow Disaster Based on Traffic System： A Case Study of Chenzhou City in Hunan Province, China

The article establishes the patterns of urban snow disaster system and disaster chain based on the theory of regional disaster system. The patterns indicate that urban snow disaster is exacerbated mainly through the traffic system. In addition, the paper sets up the vulnerability assessment index system and synthetically vulnerability assessment model of urban snow disaster which are mainly based on traffic system, and applies them in Chenzhou City. The results of assessment indicate that obvious geographical differences exist in the vulnerability of snow disaster bearing bodies： vulnerability of Chenzhou section of the Beijing-Zhuhai expressway is the highest in Chenzhou City, and the southeastern counties are more vulnerable than the northwest region. Furthermore, according to the snow disaster vulnerability dynamic process analysis, the vulnerability of Chenzhou City obviously increased in 2008 winter compared with that in 2007. Finally, the paper presents some suggestions for the locations of the emergency commands and the reserves of relief materials based on the evaluation results, and points out that disaster monitoring and relevant technical level should be strengthened for the minimization of traffic system＇s vulnerability.

Integrating urban ecosystem sustainability assessment into policy-making: insights from the Gold Coast City

This paper introduces a policy-making support tool called ‘Micro-level Urban-ecosystem Sustainability IndeX (MUSIX)’. The index serves as a sustainability assessment model that monitors six aspects of urban ecosystems – hydrology, ecology, pollution, location, design, and efficiency – based on parcel-scale indicators. This index is applied in a case study investigation in the Gold Coast City, Queensland, Australia. The outcomes reveal that there are major environmental problems caused by increased impervious surfaces from growing urban development in the study area. The findings suggest that increased impervious surfaces are linked to increased surface runoff, car dependency, transport-related pollution, poor public transport accessibility, and unsustainable built environment. This paper presents how the MUSIX outputs can be used to guide policy-making through the evaluation of existing policies.

近百年来芜湖市气候变化趋势分析

通过对补充重建气候序列的分析,得出芜湖市近百年来气候变化的主要特征。研究结果表明,近百年来芜湖气候总体呈暖干变化,冬春季和年均气温具有显著增温趋势,夏季气温无明显变化;降雨量呈微弱下降趋势,主要反映在夏季降水减少。     

巢湖对合肥市的生态响应

巢湖位于合肥市的上风向,是该市的通风口。在东南风的帮助下,为合肥市输送了大量水汽,并与合肥市形成了一个热量循环系统,使该市的生态呈现出一定的局域特性。总结了巢湖对合肥市的生态调节作用,合肥市在其发展成长过程中对巢湖生态产生的巨大影响,提出合肥市在经济发展的同时兼顾巢湖的生态作用,以促进该市经济与生态和谐发展。     

资源型城市产业结构分析——以甘肃省白银市为例

基于产业结构理论,分析了白银市产业结构的演变历史与现状,以期为白银市产业结构优化提供对策依据。白银市产业结构的特征为:产业结构演变过程的非自然历史性;产业结构总体落后,发展不平衡;城市经济发展的主要动力来源于第二、三产业;城市化水平与工业化水平发展不协调;三次产业结构整体转换能力弱;产业结构单一化;产业结构与就业结构高度错位;农业是以种植业为主的传统农业结构;工业结构主要是以能源、原材料为主的重工业;服务业发展水平低,波动性大。     

Studies of corrosion tendency of drinking water in the distribution system at the University of Benin

Ensemble of corrosion indices was combined to study the corrosion tendency of the drinking water supply at the University of Benin, Nigeria. The experimental results were analysed in terms of three corrosion indices-Langelier Index, Ryznar Index and Larson–Skold Index. According to the evaluation, the Langelier Index ranged from −5.569 to −3.684, Ryznar Index was between 13.340 and 16.418 while the Larson–Skold Index was between 1.191 and 31.750. Results indicated that the water may be corrosive. A regression of these indices on iron concentration (ppm) showed that Langelier Index, Ryznar Index and Larson–Skold Index have R ² of 0.5868, 0.6577 and 0.7063, respectively. The positive correlation between iron levels and the corrosion indices suggested that iron levels were directly related to increase in corrosion tendency.
