Microbial Fe(III) Reduction in Acidic Mining Lake Sediments after Addition of an Organic Substrate and Lime

To elucidate the role of Fe(III) reduction in mining lake sediments amended with organic substrates, we performed a large (10 m diameter) enclosure experiment in which sediments were amended with Carbokalk, a waste product from sugar industry containing organic carbon and lime. Fe(III) reduction rates were determined monthly by measuring the accumulation of Fe(II) in the sediments in the field. Fe(III) reduction rates were also determined by incubating sediment samples with synthetic Fe(III) oxyhydroxide under in situ temperature in the laboratory. Sulfate reduction was selectively inhibited in the Fe(III) reduction experiments by addition of sodium molybdate. Sulfate reduction was measured by accumulation of reduced inorganic sulfides in the field and by ³⁵S radiotracer using a core injection technique. Sediment incubation and determination of sulfate reduction rates with radiotracer showed that sulfate reduction and direct microbial Fe(III) reduction occured simultaneously in the upper centimeters of the sediments and that both processes contributed to alkalinity generation. However, Fe(III) reduction was the initial process and rates were at least 3.5 fold higher than sulfate reduction rates. The results indicate that the presence of suitable anions for Fe(II) precipitation as carbonate or sulfide is needed in order to prevent loss of potential alkalinity by Fe(II) diffusion and reoxidation in the water column.     

青岛即墨温泉沉积物特征及其对地热资源的标识意义

文章结合多种技术手段对青岛即墨温泉盆地第四纪沉积物进行研究。通过研究发现，在即墨温泉典型沉积物（矿泥）中，含有大量石膏、岩盐等与高矿化温泉地热水密切相关的自生矿物，以直隶小旋螺为代表的腹足类陆生软体动物化石和以土星介为代表的节肢动物介形虫化石在远离温泉喷口处大量分布，而在喷口附近缺失。根据胶东地区现有温泉与温泉沉积物的渊源关系，建立温泉沉积物对隐伏地热资源的标识性特征。

研究以珠江流域为例,结合美国EPA致癌风险评估模型,通过构建多介质-多途径暴露模型,定量评估了该区域居民暴露于镉(Cd)、滴滴涕(DDT)和多氯联苯(PCBs)等典型EDCs污染物的致癌风险,分析风险来源、暴露介质及暴露途径,并探讨不同环境介质的致癌风险贡献率.结果表明:Cd、DDT和PCBs的暴露剂量达2.36×10-4,6.46×10-5,4.62×10-5mg/(kg·d);暴露途径中经口摄入是最主要途径;总致癌风险为2.04×10-4,高于国内外所规定的可接受致癌风险水平上限(1×10-4),环境介质中蔬菜和大米对致癌风险贡献较大,区域主要典型EDCs污染物Cd和PCBs对致癌风险贡献率较大(分别达44%、45%).     

Estimation of runoff and sediment yield in the Redrock Creek watershed using AnnAGNPS and GIS

Sediment has been identified as a significant threat to water quality and channel clogging that in turn may lead to river flooding. With the increasing awareness of the impairment from sediment to water bodies in a watershed, identifying the locations of the major sediment sources and reducing the sediment through management practices will be important for an effective watershed management. The annualized agricultural non-point sourcepollution(AnnAGNPS) model and newly developed GIS interface for it were applied in a small agricultural watershed, Redrock Creek watershed, Kansas, in this pilot study for exploring the effectiveness of using this model as a management tool. The calibrated model appropriately simulated monthly runoff and sediment yield through the practices in this study and potentially suggested the ways of sediment reduction through evaluating the changes of land use and field operation in the model for the purpose of watershed management.

Symptomatic profile and health‐related quality of life of persons affected by the Prestige catastrophe

This study analyses the impact of the Prestige oil spill on the mental health and the perception of physical health and functional capacity in the affected population. The sample comprised 926 residents from the section of the Spanish coast affected by the oil spill. The data was collected slightly more than one year after the accident. Scales referring to clinical symptoms (SCL‐36) and health‐related quality of life (SF‐36) were administered. The results suggest that individuals with higher degrees of exposure or residing in areas closest to the spill show lower levels of mental health in comparison to those with lower levels of exposure or living in areas farther away from the spill. This study also finds that women and fishermen tend to suffer more from the consequences of these types of disaster.
