苏州河上海市区段表层沉积物中多环芳烃的分布及特征

参照美国EPA8000系列方法、质量保证和质量控制,对苏州河上海市区段的表层沉积物中16种优控多环芳烃类有机物(PAHs)进行了分析.结果表明,苏州河上海市区段的表层沉积物均受到了很大程度的污染,其中处于市区中段的昌化路桥、西康路桥和长寿路桥断面的PAHs含量较高,处于黄浦江入口附近的四川路桥、河南路桥和福建路桥断面的含量较低.同时发现,近十几年来苏州河沉积物中的PAHs含量和成分发生了一定的变化,对其原因作了初步探讨.     

苏州河大型底栖动物群落结构变化

2005年4月至12月,对苏州河4个断面大型底栖动物群落密度、生物量、多样性指数以及优势种组成进行调查,并与1999年、2001年和2003年的调查数据相比较,探讨苏州河底栖动物群落结构的变化。结果表明:苏州河底栖动物种数从2001年最多的14种降至2005年最少的8种;平均密度由1999年最高值34 445.1 m-2降至2001年最低值3 746.6 m-2,其后又上升至2005年的22 770.8 m-2;生物量由1999年最高值285.33 g.m-2降至2005年最低值31.78 g.m-2;Shannon-W iener多样性指数平均值则由2001年最高值1.20降至2003年最低值0.49;P ielou均匀性指数由2001年的0.67降至2003年的0.40。赵屯、黄渡断面优势种从1999年、2001年的铜锈环棱螺(Bellamya aeruginosa)变为2003年、2005年的霍甫水丝蚓(Limnodrilus hoffm eisteri),而北新泾、浙江路桥断面优势种未发生变化。根据苏州河底栖动物群落结构变化,将苏州河底栖动物群落的恢复划分为2个阶段:1999年、2001年苏州河底栖动物恢复较快,2003年、2005年恢复较缓。     

Lagrangian Sampling for Emerging Contaminants Through an Urban Stream Corridor in Colorado1

Abstract: Recent national concerns regarding the environmental occurrence of emerging contaminants (ECs) have catalyzed a series of recent studies. Many ECs are released into the environment through discharges from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and other sources. In 2005, the U.S. Geological Survey and the City of Longmont initiated an investigation of selected ECs in a 13.8‐km reach of St. Vrain Creek, Colorado. Seven sites were sampled for ECs following a Lagrangian design; sites were located upstream, downstream, and in the outfall of the Longmont WWTP, and at the mouths of two tributaries, Left Hand Creek and Boulder Creek (which is influenced by multiple WWTP outfalls). Samples for 61 ECs in 16 chemical use categories were analyzed and 36 were detected in one or more samples. Of these, 16 have known or suspected endocrine‐disrupting potential. At and downstream from the WWTP outfall, detergent metabolites, fire retardants, and steroids were detected at the highest concentrations, which commonly exceeded 1 μg/l in 2005 and 2 μg/l in 2006. Most individual ECs were measured at concentrations less than 2 μg/l. The results indicate that outfalls from WWTPs are the largest but may not be the sole source of ECs in St. Vrain Creek. In 2005, high discharge was associated with fewer EC detections, lower total EC concentrations, and smaller EC loads in St. Vrain Creek and its tributaries as compared with 2006. EC behavior differed by individual compound, and some differences between sites could be attributed to analytical variability or to other factors such as physical or chemical characteristics or distance from contributing sources. Loads of some ECs, such as diethoxynonylphenol, accumulated or attenuated depending on location, discharge, and distance downstream from the WWTP, whereas others, such as bisphenol A, were largely conservative. The extent to which ECs in St. Vrain Creek affect native fish species and macroinvertebrate communities is unknown, but recent studies have shown that fish respond to very low concentrations of ECs, and further study on the fate and transport of these contaminants in the aquatic environment is warranted.

苏州河底栖动物群落恢复过程动态研究

2000年10月至2003年4月,对苏州河8个采样点的底栖动物群落恢复状况的调查结果表明,苏州河底栖动物群落优势种主要为铜锈环棱螺、梨形环棱螺、中华颤蚓和霍甫水丝蚓,种类数比1999年有所增加,但仍以耐污种为主。对不同水体间生态环境的对比分析表明,底栖动物群落结构与水体污染程度之间具有较强的相关性,由此建立了底栖动物恢复指数,该指数可以客观地指示底栖动物群落恢复的动态过程。结合历史资料研究显示,苏州河底栖动物恢复指数呈持续上升趋势,恢复迹象比较明显。

苏州河生态恢复初期自净能力的综合评估方法

利用苏州河水的化学及生物学参数,以及水样对几种添加化学品的降解延滞期及降解率,综合评估了水体自净能力,并探讨了苏州河生态恢复初期自净能力的评估方法。对比2008年上、下游水样对醋酸钠、苯酚、苯胺、二甘醇、乙二醇、三聚乙醛等6种化学品的降解情况,比较分析了2006年及2008年两年度间苏州河自净能力的变化。相对2006年而言,2008年水体的氧化还原电位急剧下降,上、下游水体对化学品降解能力整体减弱,三聚乙醛降解能力的减弱尤为明显,降解率从2006年的77.82%和88.73%降至2008年的35.83%和65.86%。在外部有机物输入量无明显变化的情况下,上游的好氧异养菌数由2006年的4.7×104CFU/mL降为2008年的2.2×103CFU/mL。2008年苏州河上游水体对化学品(二甘醇除外)降解能力较下游水体更弱,且延滞期长。与2006年相比,2008年苏州河水体的自净能力整体减弱,上游水体自净能力的损失更为明显。     

Elements Influencing Cost Allocation in the Pinal Creek Aquifer,Arizona, USA: An Introduction and Synopsis of Findings

This article provides context for the ensuing three-part study published in this volume that describes quantitative allocation of mass metal loading to the 20 km groundwater plume in the Pinal Creek alluvial aquifer. The plume resulted from >75 years of copper ore leaching by ferric sulfate and sulfuric acid in the Globe-Miami mining district, Arizona. Geochemical fingerprinting, followed by spatial and temporal analysis of Pinal Creek monitoring well data, identified three distinct source areas and plumes. Each exhibited a unique chlorine-copper-iron chemical signature that resulted from differences in process geochemistry, ore mineralogy, and solution handling. As the acid plume advanced, carbonate buffering capacity was consumed, with concomitant precipitation of metal oxyhydroxides that evolved into acid-bearing aluminum and iron cements. Column experiments, geochemical modeling, and empirical data indicate that dissolution of the residual acidic precipitates will result in asymptotic reductions in metal concentrations, which will affect response costs for up to 140 years after initiation of remedial pumping in the late 1980s. Finally, metal loading to the alluvial aquifer was quantified for each source area using Darcy's Law or flow data combined with the sum of aluminum, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc, which constitute >99% of the total metal mass. Based on this analysis, to date Webster Gulch contributed 94% of the loading, Upper Bloody Tanks Wash contributed 5%, and the Miami Unit contributed 1%. A sensitivity analysis that varied all parameters in the loading calculation by ±20% resulted in only small differences in allocation (±1%) because the large mass released from Webster Gulch (618 kt of metal) dominates the overall allocation.     

BASINWIDE WATER-BALANCE MODELING WITH EMPHASIS ON SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF GROUND WATER RECHARGE1

ABSTRACT: A detailed but simple hydrologic budget for the entire Rattlesnake Creek basin (3,768 km²) in south-central Kansas was developed. With this budget, using minimal daily-weather input data and the soil-plant-water system-analysis methodology, we were able to characterize the spatial distribution of the hydrologic components of the water balance within the basin. A combination of classification and meteorological methods resulted in a basinwide integration methodology. Using this methodology, we found that, in addition to obvious climatic controls, soil, vegetation, and land-use factors also exert considerable influence on the water balance of the area. The available-water capacity (AWC) of soil profiles plays a dominant role in soil-water-deficit development and deep drainage. Vegetation and dryland or irrigated farming particularly affect the evapotranspiration (ET) components, with ET from irrigated corn and alfalfa being two to three times that from wheat. Deep drainage from irrigated wheat fields was found to be significantly higher than that from grassland and dryland wheat; deep drainage from alfalfa is practically nonexistent. We demonstrated how vegetation changes may affect components of the hydrologic cycle. We also showed that different portions of the watershed have different water-balance components and that use of single average values of hydrologic variables in management practices may not be realistic.
