Sustainable Food Consumption: Exploring the Consumer “Attitude – Behavioral Intention” Gap

Although public interest in sustainability increases and consumer attitudes are mainly positive, behavioral patterns are not univocally consistent with attitudes. This study investigates the presumed gap between favorable attitude towards sustainable behavior and behavioral intention to purchase sustainable food products. The impact of involvement, perceived availability, certainty, perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE), values, and social norms on consumers’ attitudes and intentions towards sustainable food products is analyzed. The empirical research builds on a survey with a sample of 456 young consumers, using a questionnaire and an experimental design with manipulation of key constructs through showing advertisements for sustainable dairy. Involvement with sustainability, certainty, and PCE have a significant positive impact on attitude towards buying sustainable dairy products, which in turn correlates strongly with intention to buy. Low perceived availability of sustainable products explains why intentions to buy remain low, although attitudes might be positive. On the reverse side, experiencing social pressure from peers (social norm) explains intentions to buy, despite rather negative personal attitudes. This study shows that more sustainable and ethical food consumption can be stimulated through raising involvement, PCE, certainty, social norms, and perceived availability.

食品安全环境下的肉类食品可追溯系统的构建

食品安全问题已成为全球共同关注的问题,为了加强食品安全管理,许多国家正在研究和实施食品可追溯系统。随着社会对食品安全的关注,人民生活质量的不断提高,我国食品安全问题及面临的形势十分严峻,必须加快构建可追溯系统来保障肉类食品安全。笔者在综述肉类食品可追溯系统的基础上,分析和研究适合国情的可追溯系统所需的技术,并对可追溯信息系统进行需求分析,进而建立可追溯信息系统的功能模型,指出了可追溯系统的发展方向和趋势,讨论了可能存在的问题并给出了建议,为实施可追溯系统提供参考。     

城市污水二级处理出水中沙门氏菌的PCR检测

建立了一种利用PCR检测城市污水二级处理出水中沙门氏菌的方法.采用膜吸附-洗脱法浓缩二级出水水样中的沙门氏菌,通过选用一对涵盖性和特异性均较强的引物139和141,对浓缩后的沙门氏菌进行PCR检测.利用正交试验法,对沙门氏菌PCR体系进行五因素四水平的试验,建立了沙门氏菌PCR的最佳体系.通过梯度PCR考察了退火温度对检测结果的影响,选择65℃作为退火温度,优化后沙门氏菌PCR体系的检测灵敏度可达0.314ngL.通过对已知细菌浓度的水样进行检测,确定了该法检测水样中沙门氏菌的灵敏度为2130CFUL.与传统MPN法的相比,该法在检测效果和检测效率上都优于MPN法.     

Mercury distribution and bioaccumulation up the soil-plant-grasshopper-spider food chain in Huludao City, China

The purpose of this study is to investigate total mercury (THg) distribution and its bioaccumulation up the soil-plant-grasshopperspider in the Huludao City, which is polluted seriously by chlor-alkali and zinc smelting industry in Northeast of China. Results indicated that average THg concentrations in soil, plant leaves, grasshopper Locusta migratoria manilensis and Acrida chinensis, and spider were 0.151, 0.119, 0.167 and 0.134 mg/kg, respectively. THg spatial distribution suggested that most of mercury came from the chlor-alkali plant and the two zinc smelteries. The highest mercury concentration was found in the wings among different grasshoppers’ organs. Although spiders are the predatory, THg concentrations in their bodies were not high, and only on the same level as in grasshoppers, which might be due to spiders’ special living habits. In the light of the mercury transportation at every stage of the soil-plant-grasshopper-spider food chain, the bioaccumulation factors were 0.03, 0.79–1.11 and 0.80–1.13 respectively. It suggested that mercury biomagnification up terrestrial food chains was not so large and obvious as it was in the aquatic food chain.     

新汶矿区资源综合利用产业模式

新汶矿区以提高资源利用率为中心,以煤伴生资源、煤矸石等废弃资源深度开发为切入点,横向拓宽产业领域,纵向延伸产业链,构建形成了以＂煤、电、化、建＂为主体的矿区产业集群。通过以矸换煤、煤炭地下气化、煤矸石综合利用、煤炭深加工、矿山设备再制造、废水利用等多种途径,提升资源利用深度和广度,实现产业间的废弃资源、废旧产品与主导产业之间的半闭合连接,形成了＂资源-产品-废弃物-再生资源＂的资源综合利用模式,对于矿山企业特别是老矿区实现可持续发展具有一定借鉴意义。     

HRT对悬挂链曝气式生物接触氧化工艺的影响

采用悬挂链曝气式接触氧化工艺在不同HRT下处理大清河雨、旱季污水,应用磷脂法和TTC-脱氢酶活性法研究载体表面生物膜特性,考察了HRT对生物膜特性和水质净化效果的影响。结果表明:在4～10h间时,HRT越长,缺氧区和好氧区内生物量越小和生物活性越弱,但是好氧区内单位生物量活性越强,对污染物的平均去除率越高;当进水由生活污水转变为雨污混合水后,缺氧区和好氧区内生物量逐渐减少,生物活性降低,且好氧区内单位生物量活性也降低,但出水污染物浓度降得更低且稳定。最佳HRT为8h,对COD、NH4+-N、TN和TP的平均去除率分别为75.99%、81.94%、63.30%和81.47%,出水水质达到《城镇污水处理厂污染物排放标准》(GB18918-2002)一级标准A标准。
