生物滞留设施去除城市道路径流中邻苯二甲酸酯的效果评估

上海市区道路径流中存在邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)污染,平均浓度达到171.71μg·L~(-1),高于欧洲和澳大利亚道路径流浓度近一个数量级,直接排放会对地表水体造成污染.为了从源头控制道路径流中PAEs污染,在上海内环高架道路下建造了应用规模生物滞留设施,研究城市绿色基础设施对道路径流中6种美国EPA优先控制PAEs污染物的控制效果及机理.生物滞留设施表面积为20 m2,汇水面积约为400 m2,底部带有防渗膜,适用于高地下水位地区.结果表明,8场监测降雨事件中,设施出水∑6PAEs平均浓度为10.23μg·L~(-1),显著低于道路径流∑6PAEs平均浓度171.71μg·L~(-1)(p0.05).沉淀预处理对PAEs无显著去除效果,生物滞留池对DEHP的去除率与TSS的去除率呈显著正相关,主要通过基质层截留作用去除;DEP、DBP、DMP等低分子量PAEs的去除率与设施水力负荷呈负相关,主要通过生物滞留池基质的吸附作用去除.DEHP、DBP为我国《地表水环境控制标准》控制污染物,生物滞留池出水DBP浓度低于标准值3μg·L~(-1),达标率100%;出水DEHP浓度大多情况下低于标准值8μg·L~(-1),达标率为71%,生物滞留设施可以有效控制道路径流PAEs污染.本研究的结果适用于我国东南部地下水位较高的地区,可为绿色基础设施控制地表径流PAEs提供设计理论指导.     

河南省冬季3次重污染过程的数值模拟及输送特征分析

利用WRF-Chem模式模拟2015年11月27日—12月1日、12月5—14日、12月19—25日河南3次重污染过程,结合空气污染资料和ERA-Interim再分析资料,对比分析了这3次重污染过程的开始、持续和结束及污染物的输送特征.结果表明,静稳天气有利于污染的发展持续,3次重污染过程的结束均是由西路冷空气入侵造成的.第1次重污染过程平均风场上的风速均为小风或静风,从湖北到河南南部风向为偏南风;而第2和第3次重污染过程平均风场分别以偏东和偏北风为主.第2和第3次重污染过程中均存在明显的由北向南的污染物输送过程.3次重污染过程中,河南省本地排放对本省PM_(2.5)浓度的平均贡献率最大,而河南省周边区域对河南PM_(2.5)浓度的平均贡献率在这3次过程中不一样,第1次重污染过程,河南南部主要受偏南风影响,湖北对河南PM_(2.5)浓度的平均贡献率最大,为20.7%;第2和第3次重污染过程主要受偏东风影响,安徽和江苏对河南PM_(2.5)浓度的平均贡献率最大,分别为17.7%和18.5%.3次重污染过程中,安阳的主要污染输送源均不相同,分别来自河北、江苏和安徽、本省.     

道路雨水径流溶解性有机物与重金属结合作用分析

为了解道路雨水径流溶解性有机物(DOM)与重金属的相互作用,采用荧光激发-发射矩阵光谱、超滤、离子选择电极法及红外光谱等技术对道路雨水径流溶解性有机物及其组分同Cu~(2+)、Pb~(2+)和Cd~(2+)的络合作用进行了研究.结果表明,道路雨水径流DOM与3种重金属离子的络合作用由强到弱依次是:Cu~(2+)Pb~(2+)Cd~(2+),4种分子量DOM组分与重金属之间均发生了络合反应,且DOM组分分子量越小,与重金属之间的络合作用越强.4个不同分子量区间的DOM组分与Cu~(2+)、Pb~(2+)和Cd~(2+)之间的络合作用由强到弱的顺序为:1 kDa组分、1~10 kDa组分、10~30kDa组分、30 kDa~0.45μm组分.     

Direct and indirect costs of nonfatal road traffic injuries in Iran: A population-based study

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the incidence rate as well as direct and indirect costs of nonfatal road traffic injuries (RTIs) in Iran in 2011.

Methods: Data from the 2011 national household survey were used. In this survey, data on demographics, history, and costs of injury were obtained in 2 steps: first, direct face-to-face interview and second, telephone calls. We estimated the incidence rate of nonfatal RTIs in this year. The direct costs included medical care as well as nonmedical costs paid by the patient or insurance services. The indirect costs were estimated by considering the cost of absence from work or education. We also used logistic regression analyses to investigate risk factors of nonfatal RTIs.

Results: We found 76 nonfatal RTI cases (0.96%) out of 7,886 whole reference study cases. These 76 injured patients had a history of RTI in the preceding 3 months. The annual incidence of RTIs was estimated at 3.84%. The mean age of RTI cases was 28.5 ± 10.6 and 88.16% of them were male. Male gender was a major risk factor (odds ratio [OR] = 9.64, 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.79–19.41) and marriage was a protective factor (OR = 0.44, 95% CI, 0.28–0.70) for RTI. The medians of direct, indirect, and total costs were US$214, US$163, and US$387, respectively. The total cost of nonfatal RTIs in Iran was estimated at 1.29% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2011.

Conclusions: In Iran, nonfatal RTIs imposed a total cost of almost US$7 billion to the country for one year. Extension and more serious implementation of preventive measurements seem necessary to decrease this notable burden of RTIs.     

Assessment of patients' medical fitness to drive by primary care physicians: A cross-sectional study

Objectives: Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are a significant health burden in Saudi Arabia. The literature has consistently indicated that chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obstructive sleep apnea, and neurodevelopmental disorders, increase the risk of MVCs. Therefore, assessment of driver fitness by primary care physicians (PCPs) remains a major health intervention that might reduce MVCs. We studied the practices of PCPs in assessing medical fitness to drive in at-risk patients.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of all 88 government-funded primary care centers in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We administered a self-reported questionnaire to PCPs that inquired about their driving risk assessment for specific medical conditions.

Results: Among all PCPs and centers, 189 PCPs (63%) from 74 centers (84%) participated in our survey. The mean age of the PCPs was 40 ± 10 years, and 108 (57%) were men. The average clinical experience of the group was 13 ± 9 years. Fewer than half of PCPs considered diabetes mellitus (45%) and obstructive sleep apnea (46%) as potential risks for MVCs. Approximately 45% of PCPs did not notify any authority or relatives of potential driving issues that they noticed in their patients. Only 15% of the participants believed that PCPs were responsible for alerting authorities about their fitness to drive.

Conclusions: PCPs did not adequately assess their patients' driving history and eligibility. Efforts are needed to improve awareness among PCPs regarding the effects of chronic medical conditions on driving.
