Soil Lead at Elementary Public Schools: Comparison Between School Properties and Residential Neighbourhoods of New Orleans

Soil studies, conducted in Maryland, Minnesota and Louisiana, have described the urban pattern of lead contamination. They have shown that the highest amounts of lead cluster within the interior of the largest cities. The results of the New Orleans urban patterns of distribution of soil lead provided the basis for further study. The hypothesis was tested that elementary school properties have the same pattern of soil lead contamination as their neighbouring residential communities. Thirty New Orleans Public Elementary Schools were selected for this study. Surface samples (2.5cm or 1 inch depth) were collected from playgrounds and next to entrances of each school. Results showed that soil lead on school properties follows the same relative contamination patterns (pvalue10^–5) as soil lead on residential properties of neighbouring communities. Schools however, have significantly lower lead contamination than the neighbouring residential properties. Innercity school properties present a higher risk of soil lead exposure than mid and outercity schools. Soils next to innercity school entrances showed the highest lead, with 18.5% having concentrations over 400gg^–1. Systematic landscaping around the school entrances would significantly reduce the hazard from lead dust contaminated soils.     

水质对UV/H_2O_2降解2,4-二氯酚的影响

研究了UV/H2O2工艺对2,4-二氯酚(2,4-DCP)的去除效果和水中阴离子、腐殖酸对该工艺降解2,4-DCP的影响。结果表明:UV/H2O2工艺可以有效的去除水中2,4-DCP,光降解过程符合一级反应动力学模型;在H2O2投加量为8mg/L,1个30W低压汞灯照射下,2,4-DCP在蒸馏水和自来水中光降解速率常数分别为0.0232/min和0.0162/min;NO3-、Cl-、HCO3-对2,4-DCP光降解有抑制作用;当3种离子浓度为0.5mmol/L、10mmol/L、20mmol/L时,对2,4-DCP光降解的抑制程度为HCO3->NO3->Cl-;随着离子浓度增大,抑制作用增强;自来水中的光降解速率常数低于蒸馏水中的光降解速率常数是由于水中多种离子影响的结果;腐殖酸在低浓度时,促进光降解反应的进行,在高浓度时,2,4-DCP的光降解氧化受到抑制。     

超声-过氧化氢-氧化铜组合技术催化氧化水中苯酚

研究了超声-H2O2-CuO组合技术对苯酚的降解效果。考察了苯酚初始浓度、溶液温度及鼓入空气对苯酚去除率的影响。实验结果表明，与未鼓入空气时相比，连续鼓气时苯酚的降解效果较好；初始浓度低，苯酚去除率高；溶液温度从20％上升到55％时，苯酚去除率随温度升高而增大，温度对该过程的影响主要表现为对催化剂的影响而不是对超声作用的影响。高效液相色谱分析表明，苯酚降解的中间产物主要为对苯二酚、邻苯二酚及其他有机小分子物质，最终产物为草酸、二氧化碳和水。     

长江、嘉陵江(重庆段)源水有机提取物的类雌激素活性评价

为了解长江、嘉陵江(重庆段)源水有机提取物的类雌激素活性，分别于夏季和冬季采用GDX—120大孔树脂对位于城区上、中、下游5个断面长江、嘉陵江(重庆段)源水进行有机物的浓缩提取。用体外MCF—7细胞增殖试验检测有机提取物的类雌激素活性。结果显示，源水有机提取物均具有类雌激素活性。其类雌激素活性中、下游均高于上游，丰水期高于枯水期。     

Fe2+和零价铁活化过一硫酸盐降解酸性橙7

采用环境友好的Fe~(2+)和零价铁(ZVI)作活化剂,活化过一硫酸盐(PMS)来降解水中酸性橙7(AO7).结果表明,在Fe~(2+)-PMS体系中,AO7的降解效果不佳,但通过添加适量的络合剂,AO7的去除率会大幅提高.ZVI在PMS存在下被腐蚀,并能够缓慢、持续不断地释放Fe~(2+).ZVI-PMS体系可以在比较宽泛的pH范围(3～9)有效、快速地降解AO7,并且在酸性条件下降解速率较快.淬灭实验结果显示,硫酸根自由基(SO_4~(·-))对AO7的降解起主要作用.除了Cl~-和高浓度(50 mmol·L~(-1))的NO_3~-能够促进AO7的降解外,其他水中共存的阴离子对AO7在ZVI-PMS体系中的降解具有抑制作用,而腐殖酸(HA)则无明显影响.AO7在超纯水中的去除率高于其他实际水体,但反应90 min后,污水厂出水过滤水和胶体浓缩液中的AO7去除率也可高达98.6%和87.6%,说明ZVI-PMS可能可以有效地去除含有较高DOC含量的污水中的AO7.利用GC-MS检测到辐照后溶液中有3种中间产物,推测主要是通过AO7偶氮键断键后的中间产物进一步氧化形成.此外,TOC在一定程度上降低,说明部分AO7被矿化.     

Co(Ⅱ)活化过氧乙酸降解有机染料研究

采用Co(Ⅱ)活化过氧乙酸(PAA)降解有机染料,主要评估了Co(Ⅱ)/PAA体系的氧化性能并考察不同因素对酸性橙(AO7)脱色的影响.结果表明:Co(Ⅱ)/PAA体系能有效脱色有机染料,其氧化能力与Co(Ⅱ)/PMS体系相当并优于Fenton体系. AO7的脱色效果随PAA和Co(Ⅱ)浓度的升高而升高,其中,[Co(Ⅱ)]_0为0.01 mmol·L~(-1)、[PAA]_0/[AO7]_0为4/1时,反应60 min可使92%的AO7脱色.弱酸或中性的环境有利于AO7的脱色,存在Cl-和HA时不利于AO7的脱色.采用抑制剂抗坏血酸、叔丁醇、甲醇等实验方法,推测Co(Ⅱ)/PAA体系中产生的CH_3COO·和CH_3COOO·是对AO7起主要降解作用的自由基.紫外可见光谱分析表明,该自由基主要攻击AO7分子中的偶氮键及萘环结构,从而达到AO7脱色效果.     

A bioaugmentation failure caused by phage infection and weak biofilm formation ability

Two biological aerated filters (BAF) were setup for ammonia removal treatment of the circulation water in a marine aquaculture. One of the BAFs was bioaugmented with a heterotrophic nitrifying bacterium, Lutimonas sp. H10, where the ammonia removal was not improved and the massive inoculation was even followed by a nitrification breakdown from day 9 to 18. The nitrification was remained stable in control BAF operated under the same conditions. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with rRNA-targeted probes and cultivable method revealed that Lutimonas sp. H10 almost disappeared from the bioaugomented BAF within 3 d, and this was mainly due to the infection of a specific phage as revealed by flask experiment, plaque assay and transmission electron observation. Analyses of 16S rRNA gene libraries showed that bacterial groups from two reactors evolved di erently and an overgrowth of protozoa was observed in the bioaugmented BAF. Therefore, phage infection and poor biofilm forming ability of the inoculated strain are the main reasons for bioaugmentation failure. In addition, grazing by protozoa of the bacteria might be the reason for the nitrification breakdown in bioaugmented BAF during day 9–18.
