黄土高塬沟壑区氮素流失的时空变异特征

为了探讨黄土高塬沟壑区水体氮污染的时空变化情况,选取黑河流域(泾河支流)为研究区域,测定2013—2014年枯水期和汛期流域地表水和地下水中主要离子及NO_3~--N和NH+4-N的浓度并进行分析.结果表明,黑河流域枯水期水化学主要为Na+K-Cl-SO_4型,汛期主要为CaMg-HCO_3型.枯水期及汛期阳离子均主要为Na+,阴离子在枯水期主要为SO_4~(2-)而汛期则转变为HCO_3~-.汛期NO_3~--N浓度普遍大于枯水期,平均值分别为2.37和1.63 mg·L~(-1);且空间分布不均衡,地表水中的浓度为:上游(1.35 mg·L~(-1))中游(1.05 mg·L~(-1))下游(0.93 mg·L~(-1)),而地下水中的浓度为:下游(3.84 mg·L~(-1))中游(2.54 mg·L~(-1))上游(2.35 mg·L~(-1)).NH_4~+-N在时间分布上没有明显的规律,汛期及枯水期变化不大,空间分布特征与NO_3~--N类似,但其整体浓度较低,在0.11 mg·L~(-1)左右波动,较为稳定均且未超过IV类水标准.水体中NO_3~--N不仅来自于农田氮肥的施入等人类活动,还可能来自于酸性降雨.地表水的NO_3~--N污染程度存在空间差异,上游污染程度大于中、下游,而超过70%的地下水水质属于良好,对当地饮用水安全暂不造成威胁.     

三沙湾海水中磷的分布和富营养化研究

根据2010、2011年三沙湾水质监测资料,评价了活性磷酸盐的分布及时空变化特征,根据N/P和Si/N比判断三沙湾浮游植物生长的限制因子,用营养状态指数评价该湾水体的富营养化状态.结果表明,霍童溪为三沙湾海水中磷的主要陆源输入来源,磷为三沙湾植物生长繁殖限制因子,磷含量季节周期变化特征明显,5月植物生长繁殖旺盛,由于磷的匮乏,生长受到限制,磷含量降至最低水平,8月由于植物腐败分解释放磷和海水水温较高抑制植物生长,使磷含量升高,11月至次年1月,磷含量持续升高.三沙湾内富营养化指数大于1,存在发生赤潮的风险.

Chemical and optical properties of aerosols and their interrelationship in winter in the megacity Shanghai of China

A field campaign on air quality was carried out in Shanghai in winter of 2012. The concentrations of NO, NO₂, NO_x, SO₂, CO, and PM_2.5 increased during haze formation. The average masses of SO₄^2-, NO₃^- and NH₄⁺ were 10.3, 11.7 and 6.7 μg/m³ during the haze episodes, which exceeded the average (9.2, 7.9, and 3.4 μg/m³) of these components in the non-haze days. The mean values for the aerosol scattering coefficient (b_sp), aerosol absorption coefficient (b_ap) and single scattering albedo (SSA) were 288.7, 27.7 and 0.91 Mm^-1, respectively. A bi-peak distribution was observed for the mass concentrations of CO, NO, NO₂, and NO_x. More sulfate was produced during daytime than that in the evening due to photochemical reactions. The mass concentration of NH₄⁺ achieved a small peak at noontime. NO₃^- showed lower concentrations in the afternoon and higher concentrations in the early morning. There were obvious bi-peak diurnal patterns for bsp and bap as well as SSA. bsp and bap showed a positive correlation with PM_2.5 mass concentration. (NH₄)₂SO₄, NH₄NO₃, organic mass, elemental carbon and coarse mass accounted for 21.7%, 19.3%, 31.0%, 9.3% and 12.3% of the total extinction coefficient during non-haze days, and 25.6%, 24.3%, 30.1%, 8.1% and 8.2% during hazy days. Organic matter was the largest contributor to light extinction. The contribution proportions of ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate to light extinction were significantly higher during the hazy time than during the non-haze days.     

Seasonal variation and sources of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a background site on the Tibetan Plateau

The study of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in northeastern Tibetan Plateau with fragile ecological environment and complex atmospheric circulation system is blank. To understand the characteristics and sources of persistent organic pollutants in the atmosphere of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, we monitored levels in the central Qilian Mountain. From 2016 to 2017, we collected 45-pair (particle + gas) samples using active air samplers to investigate the sources, transport paths, and their influencing factors. Sources of PAHs were analysed with a source diagnostic model, and atmospheric transport paths were calculated. The concentration range for ∑₁₅PAHs was 439–4666 pg/m³, and the average was 2015 pg/m³. The PAHs in central Qilian Mountain are mainly low molecular weight (LMW) PAHs. Winter concentrations of PAHs were higher than those in summer. The transport of PAHs is mainly affected by westerlies, and there are seasonal differences. Source analysis showed that PAHs mainly came from coal and biomass combustion and vehicle emissions, with seasonal differences. This study clarifies the concentration and seasonal variation of PAHs in the northern Tibetan Plateau, which is conducive to understanding the atmospheric transport process and fate of pollutants. The background site of Qilian Mountains located in the Silk Road economic belt has the value and significance of long-term observation of pollutants.     

Seasonal influences on inorganic anion monitoring of the New Calabar River,Nigeria

The inorganic anion pollution of the New Calabar River surface water was investigated. Results showed seasonal variations in the inorganic anion levels. Water parameters such as sulfite, nitrate, phosphate, and alkalinity showed significantly higher values in the rainy season than in the dry season. Dissolved oxygen, pH, sulfide, sulfate, ammonia, and nitrite showed no significant differences between their rainy and dry season levels. Upstream-downstream changes were shown by conductivity, total dissolved solids, chloride, salinity, and temperature. Exceptions occurred in the nitrite levels, where the effect was minimal. Although the concentrations of some anions analyzed fell within internationally acceptable limits, the New Calabar River water is, in the main, polluted with inorganic anions and may be unacceptable for potable and industrial uses without treatment.     

2000～2015年中国地级市化肥使用量的时空变化特征

化肥在农业生产中对粮食增产起到至关重要作用,但过量使用也带来诸如地表水富营养化、土壤结构恶化及农业承载力下降等一系列环境问题.目前对于化肥的研究多集中于利用效率方面,而空间变化特征的研究很少,充分认识化肥使用量空间上的变化对我国农业的可持续发展同样具有重要意义.基于2000~2015年全国地级市化肥折纯使用量和播种面积、粮食产量等数据,采用空间自相关分析、冷热点分析、核密度分析和标准差椭圆分析等方法,比较了2000、2005、2010和2015年这4年全国尺度各地区化肥使用总量及单位面积化肥使用负荷的时空变化特征.结果表明：①2000~2015年我国的化肥折纯使用量呈直线增加趋势,而在区域内一直处于比较高的集聚状态.化肥折纯使用量经历2000~2005年区域聚集状态增强,2005~2010年聚集状态减弱,2010~2015年又增加的过程.②从全国化肥使用的空间分布来看,2000~2015化肥使用总量呈现增加趋势,主要表现在化肥使用量超标的地级市变多,区域变广.东部经济发展较快的地区,如广东省和福建省由于播种面积减少比例大于化肥使用量的增长比例,导致超标地级市较为密集.③2000~2015年我国粮食重心的移动轨迹和化肥使用量的移动轨迹不相符,粮食重心往东北地区移动,而化肥使用量的重心往西部移动.一是表明东北地区的商品粮地位越来越重要,二是表明我国西部地区化肥使用量逐渐增加,有超标的趋势,应加以重视.     

Tuning of activated sludge in winter based on respirogram profiles under standard and site temperatures

Respirograms of activated sludge OUR_ x~Tand OUR_x~(20)were measured under site(T) and standard(20°C) temperatures, respectively, and the predicted standard temperature respirogram OUR_( x,cal)~(20)was also calculated using the Arrhenius equation. These respirogram profiles reveal more information than effluent quality. A decrease of OUR_ x ~(20)is a critical alarm signal for the loss of pollutant removal capacity, and a sudden increase of the predicted value OUR_( x,cal)~(20)is an alarm signal for the unrecoverable deterioration of biomass. The sign of OUR_x~(20)–OUR_(x,cal)~(20)can be used for selection of tuning strategies. For example, a negative value of OUR_x~(20)–OUR_( x,cal)~(20)indicates that doubling biomass is difficult,thus strategies such as extending the reaction time with limited available biomass is preferred. The findings in this study elucidated the respiration profile of activated sludge under changes of temperature and can be effectively used for the stable operation of Wastewater Treatment Plants under cold temperatures and seasonal variations.     

Temporal variation and sharing of antibiotic resistance genes between water and wild fish gut in a peri-urban river

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) as emergence contaminations have spread widely in the water environment. Wild fish may be recipients and communicators of ARGs in the water environment, however, the distribution and transmission of ARGs in the wild fish and relevant water environment were rarely reported. Here, we have profiled ARGs and bacterial communities in wild freshwater fish and relevant water in a peri-urban river using high-throughput qPCR and 16S rRNA gene sequence. A total of 80 and 220 unique ARG subtypes were identified in fish and water samples. Fish and water both showed significant ARG seasonal variations (P < 0.05). The highest absolute abundance of ARGs in fish and water occurred in summer (1.32 × 10⁹ copies per g, on average) and autumn (9.04 × 10⁶ copies per mL), respectively. In addition, the bipartite network analysis showed that 9 ARGs and 1 mobile genetic element continuously shared in fish and water. Furthermore, bacteria shared in fish and water were found to significantly correlate with shard ARGs. The findings demonstrate that bacteria and ARGs in fish and water could interconnect and ARGs might transfer between fish and water using bacteria as a spreading medium.
