为研究轻型汽油车尾气PM_2.5的排放特征,利用整车测试台架和颗粒物稀释采样系统,对12辆轻型汽油车尾气的PM_2.5进行了采集,并进一步分析了PM_2.5排放因子及其碳质组分——OC(有机碳)和EC(元素碳)的排放特征;在此基础上,参考文献研究结果,计算了我国轻型汽油车分阶段PM_2.5排放因子,结合活动水平数据估算轻型汽油车PM_2.5排放量.结果表明:测试的国Ⅰ前~国Ⅳ轻型汽油车PM_2.5平均排放因子分别为(73.2±3.8)(50.5±45.4)(34.7±18.4)(22.6±10.3)和(1.0±0.2)mg/km,随排放阶段升级而显著降低.OC是轻型汽油车尾气PM_2.5中的主要碳质组分,在TC(总碳)中所占比例超过90%. 2012年我国轻型汽油车PM_2.5排放量为21 828.7 t,占机动车颗粒物排放总量的3.5%,其中仅占轻型汽油车保有量17%的国Ⅰ及以前车辆排放了约43%的PM_2.5. 研究显示,轻型汽油车尤其是国Ⅰ及国Ⅰ前车辆颗粒物排放不容忽视,在机动车颗粒物减排工作中应给予足够重视.      

城市污水管网污染物沉积与冲刷释放规律研究

为明确城市污水管网中污染物沉积、冲刷释放及微生物降解作用对有机物去除的贡献,以管网中城市污水为研究对象,通过建立有沉积与无沉积的模拟管道,在首次冲刷的理论基础上得到管道污染物沉积释放计算模型,进而研究了不同流量下有机污染物的沉积与冲刷释放规律,并对不同流量下进出水的粒径分布及颗粒组成进行分析。结果表明,在管道6 h水力循环条件下,当流速为0.32 m/s时,污水中有机物变化以沉积贡献为主;当流速增加为管网最小设计流速0.6 m/s时,污染物沉积现象得到显著改善,冲刷释放效应增强;当流速进一步增加为0.9 m/s时,冲刷释放成为主要作用,生物降解作用微弱。     

冻融作用对土壤中溶解性有机物的光谱学特性的影响

以受季节性冻融过程影响显著的辽宁省棕壤和暗棕壤为研究对象,考察了冻结温度、融化温度、冻结时间和冻融次数对土壤中溶解性有机物(DOM)的光谱学特性的影响.结果表明:冻融处理条件下土壤中的溶解性有机碳(DOC)含量、波长254 nm处的紫外吸光度(UV-254)和单位浓度DOC的紫外吸收值(SUVA)的变化规律相似,均随冷冻和融化温度的升高而增大,随冷冻时间的延长先减小后增大,随冻融次数的增多而减小.冻融作用使DOM的腐殖化程度提高,分子量减小.随着冷冻时间的延长,DOM中类富里酸荧光物质和类腐殖酸荧光物质的含量先减少后增多;随着冻融次数的增多,DOM中荧光物质的含量逐渐减少.研究成果对于准确掌握冻融条件下土壤中DOM的变化规律,以及实施有效的土壤生态环境和地表水流域环境管理具有重要的理论意义和实用价值.     

A new technique helps to uncover unknown peptides and disinfection by-products in water

正Environmental water samples can be extremely complex,with potentially thousands of molecules that can derive from natural organic matter(NOM)and thousands that derive from anthropogenic contaminants.As complex as these samples are,drinking water can be even more complex.Due to disinfectants that are used to treat drinking water(e.g.,chlorine,chloramines,     

基于EEMs和PARAFAC分析典型碳材料吸附水中DOM特征研究

水中溶解性有机物(DOM)对全球污染物迁移和水处理工艺效能具有重要影响。采用3种典型碳材料,包括碳纳米管(CNTs)、颗粒活性炭(GAC)、粉末活性炭(PAC)分别吸附微污染源水中的DOM。基于荧光发射-激发光谱(EEMs)和平行因子(PARAFAC)分析,解析DOM中的有效荧光组分,评估3种材料对不同组分吸附去除的效果和吸附特征。研究表明:PARAFAC分析方法提取4种荧光组分C1和C2(腐殖酸类)、C3和C4(类蛋白类)。以TOC为基础的吸附等温线模型表明,PAC的KF值大于GAC和CNTs,PAC有丰富的中孔和较大的比表面积,吸附容量比GAC和CNTs更大。C3和C4 2个荧光组分在吸附过程中更容易被吸附,PAC对两者吸附容量最大。研究结果揭示了不同碳吸附材料对水中不同类型有机物的吸附特征,可为吸附工艺应用提供技术参考。

基于大气环境的固定源细颗粒物测试方法研究进展

国内对固定源细颗粒物研究还较为薄弱,主要是缺乏合适的测试方法.由于基于大气环境的稀释测试法可在一定程度上模拟烟气排放至大气环境的物理化学过程,所以该法正成为研究固定源细颗粒物排放特征的重要手段.本文对国内外基于大气环境的固定源细颗粒物测试方法进行了系统介绍与分析,指出该测试系统应向小型化、便携式方向发展,以满足不同浓度、不同湿度、不同温度固定源细颗粒物的测试需要.

鉴于反硝化菌与厌氧氨氧化菌具有相似的生理特性,采用CSTR反应器研究了以异养反硝化污泥启动厌氧氨氧化系统的可行性,并考察了其对高氨氮废水的处理潜能。反应器运行170 d后,试验结果表明,此方法可快速培育出具有厌氧氨氧化活性的污泥,NH_4~+-N和NO_2~--N的去除率分别可达99.20%和99.69%。在此基础上考察了有机物浓度对厌氧氨氧化性能的影响,结果表明:低浓度(ρ(COD)≤150 mg/L)有机物可促进厌氧氨氧化活性,而高浓度(ρ(COD)≥200 mg/L)有机物抑制厌氧氨氧化进程,该系统最适ρ(COD)/ρ(NH_4~+-N)为2.14,此时NH_4~+-N和NO_2~--N的去除率分别为99.41%和99.65%。     

The effect of low emission zones on air pollution and infant health

This paper investigates the effect of low emission zones on air quality and birth outcomes in Germany. The staggered introduction of the policy measure creates a credible natural experiment and a natural control group for births and air pollution measurements in cities that enact low emission zones. I show that the introduction of the most restrictive type of low emission zone decreases average levels of fine particulate matter by about 4 percent and by up to 8 percent at a city's highest-polluting monitor. Low emission zones also reduce the number of days per year on which legal pollution limits are exceeded by three. However, these reductions are too small to translate into substantial improvements in infant health. My results are not driven by changes in maternal or city specific characteristics, and are robust to variations in specification and to the choice of control group.     

Exponential Collapse of Benthic Depurative Capacity in A Eutrophic Tropical Marine Ecosystem: A Threshold Response to Organic Nitrogen Loading

Microbial decomposition of particulate organic matter in sediments can substantially modulate eutrophication of nearshore marine environments. Flux budgets for nitrogen compounds and quantification of rates of microbial transformation can provide important information on the process of eutrophication. This survey documents sediment nitrogen budgets for a eutrophic nearshore marine environment at La Parguera on southwest coast of Puerto Rico, including consideration of the organic fraction in addition to microbial transformations.

Sediments of the inshore channel at La Parguera denote the input of heavy organic loads with low redox potentials and high ammonium contents. Benthic fluxes of dissolved organic nitrogen are below those recorded for ammonium. These observations suggest that nearshore tropical sediments subject to heavy nitrogen loads act as a sink for organic nitrogen and that ammonification is a key process in the release of nitrogen from sediments to the water column. Nitrification and denitrification rates are low overall and inversely related to the redox potential. Depuration of excess nitrogen through denitrification is ineffective in these sediments. in contrast to more robust temperate environments, our work demonstrates that tropical marine systems are particularly susceptible to eutrophication given their limited capacity for depuration of excess nitrogen.
