气溶胶中苯并[k]荧蒽的恒能量同步荧光测量条件优化

采用正交实验研究光电倍增管(PMT)工作电压、激发单色器狭缝带宽(EX slit)和发射单色器狭缝带宽(EM slit)等对恒能量同步荧光测量技术的精密度、灵敏度、检出限及半峰宽度的影响机理,筛选和优化气溶胶中苯并[k]荧蒽的最佳测量条件.结果表明,3个因素对精密度、灵敏度、检出限均有显著影响,但只有EX slit带宽对半峰宽度有显著影响.PMT的工作电压越高,精密度越低,灵敏度越高,而它对检出限的影响较为复杂,当PMT工作电压为800V时,检出限可达到最低值;EX slit带宽越大,精密度越高,灵敏度越低,检出限越低,半峰宽度越大;EM slit带宽越大,精密度越低,灵敏度越高,检出限越低.模拟实验优化后的最佳测试条件为PMT工作电压800V、EX slit带宽2.5nm以及EM slit带宽5nm,.此时的最低检测限为0.086ng/mL,能适合于在线检测的技术要求.在环境实际气溶胶样品苯并[k]荧蒽含量的测量时,该方法与HPLC-FLD的测量值差异较小,两者的差值范围为1.73~10.70%,具有很好的可比性.     

兰州远郊区黑碳气溶胶浓度特征

利用兰州大学半干旱气候与环境观测站(SACOL)2007年1月1日至2009年8月28日黑碳气溶胶浓度和同期常规气象资料,分析了兰州远郊区黑碳气溶胶浓度特征.结果表明,该区黑碳气溶胶日平均浓度为1568ng/m3,低于东部地区区域本底站浓度,表明该地区污染较轻;黑碳浓度具有明显的季节变化,从春季到冬季平均浓度依次增大,分别为1234.74,1290.23,1669.06,2088.73ng/m3,日变化具有明显的双峰结构,最大值出现在09:00,最小值出现在17:00.黑碳浓度的变化特征与本地区的盛行风向、人类活动及天气过程有密切关系.沙尘气溶胶对黑碳浓度的影响取决沙尘过程的强度、沙尘携带的人为污染物的种类及数量、黑碳颗粒被其他气溶胶混合和包裹的程度.统计分析得出该地区大气黑碳气溶胶本底浓度约为1000ng/m3.

Effect of cadmium in the soil on growth,secondary metabolites and metal uptake in Salvia miltiorrhiza

We investigated the effect of Cd with different concentrations in soil (control, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg kg^?1) on Salvia miltiorrhiza. The growth of S. miltiorrhiza was examined at 90 and 120 d, while active components were tested at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 d; Cd uptake was measured at days 0, 90, and 120. The biomass data indicated that high Cd concentration can stimulate the accumulation of biomass after a long treatment. The Cd content in the above- and below-ground parts strongly corresponds to the bioavailable Cd extracted by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and acetic acid. The Cd content in the below-ground parts of control approached the Cd standards given by World Health Organization after 120 d. The Cd content in the below-ground parts of S. miltiorrhiza at a Cd concentration of 0.5 mg kg^?1 exceeded the Cd standards after being grown for 90 and 120 days. The accumulation of hydrosoluble components in the above-ground parts appeared later than that in the below-ground parts. With longer treatment time, high Cd treatment promoted an accumulation of hydrosoluble and liposoluble components. The Cd content in the below-ground plant parts indicated that there was still a risk of exceeding the Cd limit for S. miltiorrhiza grown in the soil contaminated by low-concentration Cd after a long time.     

A comparison study of aerosol emissions sources in two receptor sites in Salvador (Brazil) city

Total suspended particles (TSP) and metal concentrations were determined in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil at two sites: a residential area and a residential‐commercial‐industrial neighborhood. The determined metals associated with atmospheric aerosols include Al, Ca, Cr, Cd, Fe, Mg, Mn, V, Zn and Na. Factor analysis was employed to identify the major atmospheric deposition sources. At one site the data were best represented by two sources: resuspended soil + marine aerosol and vehicular emissions, which represents 93% of the total system variance. In the second one the data were best represented by three sources: resuspended soil, metallurgy and building construction, which represents 79% of the total system variance.     

Direct-use values of woodland resources consumed and traded in a South African village

SUMMARY

This paper examines the contribution of secondary resources harvested from a savanna ecosystem to household income in Thorndale village, South Africa. The valuation of these resources provides a key tool for adopting sustainable development practices. The study shows the relevance of the dependence of rural people on secondary resources and implications for social and economic equity. Fuelwood, edible herbs and thatch grass contributed 80.6% ($492.53) of the total gross direct-use value ($559.46) of all the resources per household per annum. The net direct-use value of eight directly harvested resources was $455.11 after accounting for the opportunity cost of labour. The value of secondary resources traded amounted to $126.62 per household, equivalent to 22.6% of values from direct consumption, suggesting a high degree of dependence of villagers on natural resources harvested for household consumption. There were high relative direct-use values for fuelwood (44%) and edible herbs (25.9%) reflecting the high energy requirement, and substitute for cultivated vegetables, respectively. It was generally perceived that resources were in short supply probably due to the level of dependence, and as a coping strategy.     

Size-resolved aerosol ionic composition and secondary formation at Mount Heng in South Central China

To understand the size-resolved aerosol ionic composition and the factors influencing secondary aerosol formation in the upper boundary layer in South Central China, size-segregated aerosol samples were collected using a micro-orifice uniform deposit irnpactor （MOUDI） in spring 2009 at the summit of Mount Heng （1269 m asl）, followed by subsequent laboratory analyses of 13 inorganic and organic water-soluble ions. During non- dust-storm periods, the average PM1.8 concentration was 41.8 μg·m^-3, contributing to 55% of the PM10. Sulfates, nitrates, and ammonium, the dominant ions in the fine particles, amounted to 46.8% of the PM1.8. Compared with Mount Tai in the North China Plain, the concentrations of both fine and coarse particles and the ions contained therein were substantially lower. When the air masses from Southeast Asia prevailed, intensive biomass burning there led to elevated concentrations of sulfates, nitrates, ammonium, potassium, and chloride in the fine particles at Mount Heng. The air masses originating from the north Gobi brought heavy dust storms that resulted in the remarkable production of sulfates, ammonium, methane sulfonic acid, and oxalates in the coarse particles. Generally, the sulfates were primarily produced in the form of （NH4）2SO4 in the droplet mode via heterogeneous aqueous reactions. Only approximately one-third of the nitrates were distributed in the fine mode, and high humidity facilitated the secondary formation of fine nitrates. The heterogeneous formation of coarse nitrates and ammonium on dry alkaline dust surfaces was found to be less efficient than that on the coarse particles during non-dust-storm periods.
