Application of tracer ratio and inverse dispersion methods with boat-based plume measurements to estimate ammonia emissions from seabird colonies

Ammonia emissions from two contrasting seabird colonies in Scotland were measured, based on the determination of atmospheric concentrations downwind of the colonies. Atmospheric concentrations of ammonia (NH₃) across the downwind plume were compared with the inverse application of a Gaussian dispersion model (ID) to calculate the modelled NH₃ emission that would generate the measured cross-wind-integrated plume concentration. In parallel, a tracer gas (sulphur hexafluoride, SF₆) was released from the colonies with air samples taken to allow determination of SF₆ concentrations. On the basis of the known emission rate of SF₆, the magnitude of ammonia emissions was estimated by the cross-wind-integrated tracer ratio (TR) of NH₃/SF₆ concentrations. Coupled with data on annual bird attendance, the measurements indicate annual emissions from the Isle of May and the Bass Rock of 18 and 132 tonnes NH₃-N year^–1, respectively. The measured NH₃ emissions were compared with estimates of seabird nitrogen excretion to estimate the proportion of excreted N that is volatilised as NH₃ (F_Nr). The emission estimates of the two methods compared favourably, giving 4 and 6 kg NH₃-N h^–1 (F_Nr = 15%) for the Isle of May for the ID and TR methods, respectively, and 21 and 25 kg NH₃-N h^–1 (F_Nr = 50%) for the Bass Rock for the ID and TR methods, respectively. The results provide the first measurement-based estimates to allow regional up scaling of ammonia emissions from seabirds.

郑州市PM2.5组分季节性特征及来源研究

为了探究郑州市大气PM_(2.5)组分的季节性特征及来源,于2017年12月至2018年11月对郑州市5个点位进行采样,共采集有效环境受体样本1 166个。通过研究受体样本PM_(2.5)中的碳组分、水溶性离子和无机元素信息,获取各组分的季节特征,并结合正定矩阵因子分解(PMF)模型进行来源解析。结果表明,采样期间,郑州市PM_(2.5)平均浓度为69.6μg/m~3,占比较高的化学组分为NO_3~-、有机碳(OC)、SO_4~(2-)和NH_4~+,占比之和为86.7%。其中,NO_3~-、OC和NH_4~+呈现冬季高、夏季低的季节性浓度分布规律,SO_4~(2-)则是秋冬季稍高于春夏季。此外,Al、Si、Fe和Ca的浓度在春秋季略高于冬夏季。PMF模型解析结果显示,二次源为郑州市PM_(2.5)首要污染源,分担率为50.9%,其次是移动源(分担率12.0%)、燃煤源(分担率11.4%)和扬尘源(分担率10.2%)。其中,燃煤源在冬季较高、夏季较低,移动源在夏季最高,扬尘源在春季和秋季较高。     

Assessing Spatial, Temporal, and Analytical Variation of Groundwater Chemistry in a Large Nuclear Complex, USA

Statistical analyses were applied at the Hanford Site, USA, to assess groundwater contamination problems that included (1) determining local backgrounds to ascertain whether a facility is affecting the groundwater quality and (2) determining a ‘pre-Hanford' groundwater background to allow formulation of background-based cleanup standards. The primary purpose of this paper is to extend the random effects models for (1) assessing the spatial, temporal, and analytical variability of groundwater background measurements; (2) demonstrating that the usual variance estimate s ², which ignores the variance components, is a biased estimator; (3) providing formulas for calculating the amount of bias; and (4) recommending monitoring strategies to reduce the uncertainty in estimating the average background concentrations. A case study is provided. Results indicate that (1) without considering spatial and temporal variability, there is a high probability of false positives, resulting in unnecessary remediation and/or monitoring expenses; (2) the most effective way to reduce the uncertainty in estimating the average background, and enhance the power of the statistical tests in general, is to increase the number of background wells; and (3) background for a specific constituent should be considered as a statistical distribution, not as a single value or threshold. The methods and the related analysis of variance tables discussed in this paper can be used as diagnostic tools in documenting the extent of inherent spatial and/or temporal variation and to help select an appropriate statistical method for testing purposes.     

太湖底泥疏浚的水环境质量风险性分析

采用基于因子分析的主成分分析法将五里湖的16个水质参数概括为5个主成分,研究了各主成分以及其综合主成分在疏浚前后的变化,并以此为依据就底泥疏浚对水环境质量的影响进行了评价.结果表明,疏浚过程中,五里湖疏浚区的综合主成分得分最高,为1.15,水质综合排名在最后,水体色度和污染指数(F1)也达到最高值5.0;同时对照区综合主成分得分以及水体污染和色度指数(F1,F2)也相应升高,水质质量明显下降;这说明疏浚运作具有促进表层沉积物发生再悬浮和扩散作用,以及沉积物中内源性营养盐和重金属离子的释放作用.采用Monte Carlo随机采样法,利用平衡分配模型模拟和预测了疏浚过程中悬浮沉积物中重金属离子释放的阈值,结果表明疏浚过程中大部分重金属离子由悬浮沉积物向水体中释放的风险性较高,可信度达到90%以上,尤其是重金属离子Ni²⁺以及非金属污染物As释放的风险性较大,其可能的释放量分别分布在各自地表水环境质量标准EQS的28.6%～+∞之间和34%～+∞之间,说明底泥疏浚具有导致五里湖水体环境质量短期恶化的风险.此外,Monte Carlo随机采样分析方法应用也许可为湖泊底泥疏浚生态风险评价提供一条新的途径.     

Modeling of air quality with a modified two-dimensional Eulerian model： A case study in the Pearl River Delta （PRD） region of China

A modified two-dimensional Eulerian air quality model was used to simulate both the gaseous and particulate pollutant concentrations during October 21-24, 2004 in the Pearl River Delta （PRD） region, China. The most significant improvement to the model is the added capability to predict the secondary organic aerosols （SOA） concentrations because of the inclusion of the SOA formation chemistry. The meteorological input data were prepared using the CALMET meteorological model. The concentrations of aerosol-bound species such as NO3^-, NH4^＋, SO4^2-, and SOA were calculated in the fine particle size range （〈2.5 μm）. The results of the two-dimensional model were compared to the measurements at the ground level during the PRD Intensive Monitoring Campaign （IMC）. Overall, there were good agreements between the measured and modeled concentrations of inorganic aerosol components and O3. Both the measured and the modeled results indicated that the maximum hourly O3 concentrations exceeded the China National Air Quality Standard. The predicted 24-h average SOA concentrations were in reasonable agreement with those predicted by the method of minimum OC/EC ratio.
