REGRESSION MODELS OF HERBICIDE CONCENTRATIONS IN OUTFLOW FROM RESERVOIRS IN THE MIDWESTERN USA, 1992–19931

ABSTRACT: Reservoirs are used to store water for public water supply, flood control, irrigation, recreation, hydropower, and wildlife habitat, but also often store undesirable substances such as herbicides. The outflow from 76 reservoirs in the midwestern USA, was sampled four times in 1992 and four times in 1993. At least one herbicide was detected in 82.6 percent of all samples, and atrazine was detected in 82.1 percent of all samples. Herbicide properties; topography, land use, herbicide use, and soil type in the contributing drainage area; residence time of water in reservoirs; and timing of inflow, release, and rainfall all can affect the concentration of herbicides in reservoirs. A GIS was used to quantify characteristics of land use, agricultural chemical use, climatic conditions, topographic character, and soil type by reservoir drainage basins. Multiple linear and logistic regression equations were used to model mean herbicide concentrations in reservoir outflow as a function of these characteristics. Results demonstrate a strong association between mean herbicide concentrations in reservoir outflow and herbicide use rates within associated drainage basins. Results also demonstrate the importance of including soils and basin hydrologic characteristics in models used to estimate mean herbicide concentrations.     

苏州河市郊段底泥中COD_(Cr)和NH_3-N的空间分布特征

对苏州河截流区外河段(城郊段)东大盈河口—北新泾,按河道形态,支流与城镇分布等因素,沿程采集24个底泥柱样,测定其不同部位不同深度底泥中COD_(Cr)和NH_3-N含量,分析COD_(Cr)和NH_3-N在沿程和垂向上的分布特征及其成因。结果表明,底泥中污染沿程分布呈不规则波状起伏,东大盈河、蕴藻浜、盐铁塘、封浜、华漕港、新槎浦等支流口,浮泥层中COD_(Cr)含量达2万mg/kg,超过背景值2—3倍,支流口下游200m范围内均较高;黄渡小支流口、华漕港支流口浮泥层中NH_3-H含量达250mg/kg,超过背景值3倍。在垂向分布上,底泥柱样都出现峰值分布,在某些弯道及支流口出现递减分布。底泥耗氧污染程度主要与支流及其排污量有关,其次是弯道凸岸处污染物易于沉积富集。这为苏州河市郊段环境综合治理、底泥疏浚和处置提供了科学依据。

Analysis of heavy metal distribution in superficial estuarine sediments (estuary of Bilbao, Basque Country) by open-focused microwave-assisted extraction and ICP-OES

Open-focused microwave-assisted extraction and ICP-OES determination of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn from surface sediments of the estuary of Bilbao (Basque Country, North of Spain) was carried out. All the samples were collected at three different tributaries of the estuary (Asua, Galindo and Nerbioi-Ibaizabal) every two months during 1999. The digestion procedure was proposed from the conclusions of a fractionated factorial design, and the precision and accuracy of the method was verified using a certified reference sediment (RTC008-050). The results of the analysis were statistically treated by means of principal component analysis and correlation analysis. The principal component analysis of sediment data (32 samples × 9 metals) indicated different patterns of contamination regarding the tributary and sampling station. The two main patterns observed were a steady increment of the metal concentration along all the campaigns in the samples collected in the Galindo River and a seasonal variation in the Nerbioi-Ibaizabal River, with higher metallic content during summertime and lower content during wintertime.     

Concentrations and trends of benzene in ambient air over New York State during 1990–2003

Since 1990s, a systematic program to measure air toxics has been active in New York State with monitors located both in urban and rural areas. In this study we examined the spatial and temporal characteristics of benzene, a known human carcinogen that is emitted by many source categories. The analysis indicates that ambient concentration levels of benzene have decreased by as much as 60% over this period not only in the ozone non-attainment area of New York City that had the reformulated gas (RFG) requirements, but also over the rest of the state as well. Although the rate of decrease appears to have flattened out in recent years, the annual average concentration levels are found to be above the health risk threshold even at the remote location, Whiteface Mountain, suggesting the need for further reductions in benzene emissions.     

华北地区大气细颗粒物(PM2.5)年际变化及其对土地利用/覆被变化的响应

大气细颗粒物(PM_(2.5))是大气污染的重要组成成分,对其影响因素进度探讨具有重要的意义.但目前来看,多数的研究都聚焦于PM_(2.5)与气象要素以及经济因素之间的关系,分析土地利用/覆被变化对PM_(2.5)影响的研究相对较少,需要进一步的深入探讨.基于PM_(2.5)空间分布数据及土地利用/覆被数据,对华北地区PM_(2.5)变化特征及土地利用/覆被变化特征进行了系统分析,并利用地理加权回归、GIS空间分析等手段探讨了PM_(2.5)变化与土地利用/覆被变化的响应关系,结果表明:①华北地区PM_(2.5)浓度整体呈现东南高、西北低的空间格局,且18a均保持这一态势没有变化.时间上来看,在2006年达到污染最大值,之后虽有波动但一直居高不下.多数城市PM_(2.5)浓度超标,整体环境污染形势严峻;②2000～2015年研究区土地利用类型/覆被以耕地、林地和草地为主,土地利用/覆被变化趋势主要表现为耕地的大量减少以及建设用地的持续增加,水域和未利用地面积略有减少,林地和草地转入转出面积接近,因而总量变化不大;③地理加权回归模型计算结果表明,Local R~2(衡量局部拟合度)较低的区域为土地利用/覆被未发生变化的区域,而在土地利用/覆被变化明显的区域,Local R~2较高,说明PM_(2.5)变化对土地利用/覆被变化有着显著的响应作用;④对于不同土地利用/覆被状况而言,PM_(2.5)分布特征表现出建设用地耕地水域草地林地未利用地的趋势.对于不同土地利用/覆被转换方式而言,当自然用地向人工用地转换时PM_(2.5)浓度上升,而人工用地向自然用地转变时PM_(2.5)浓度降低.     

典型异味源的感官特性及特征污染物筛选

为研究不同异味源的感官特性以及不同行业特征污染物的排放差异,以卷烟厂、烘培坊、烤漆厂为研究对象,采用愉悦度9级度量法,测定源样品不同稀释倍数（5~6个浓度梯度）下的愉悦度等级,绘制3种典型异味源愉悦度-臭气浓度指数特征曲线,并进行回归分析,同时筛选出3个典型异味源的特征污染物（烤漆厂的特征污染物为乙酸乙酯、对二乙苯、乙苯、间二甲苯、乙酸丁酯,卷烟厂为乙醇、萘、2-丁酮、柠檬烯、丙烷,烘培坊为乙醇、柠檬烯、α-蒎烯、甲苯、丙酮）,并建立了异味评价干扰潜力的数学模型.结果表明:3种典型异味源的愉悦度与臭气浓度指数之间的关系均符合二次多项式模型,卷烟厂和烤漆厂异味源的愉悦度均为负值,并且厌恶程度随臭气浓度的增大而增强;而烘焙坊异味源的愉悦度为正值.当愉悦度等级为-2时,卷烟厂和烤漆厂对应的臭气浓度分别为30和26.干扰潜力的强弱是由臭气浓度和愉悦度2个因素直接决定的,烤漆厂的干扰潜力为-14.48,卷烟厂为-14.17,烘培坊为11.77.研究显示,愉悦度与臭气浓度指数间量化关系模型以及异味源干扰潜力评估模型的建立,可为异味源的分类分级以及异味源环境影响标准的制订提供科学依据.      

基于遥感影像的江西省水体资源和水产养殖结构空间异质性分析

为系统掌握江西省水体资源结构和水产养殖基本特征,论文通过遥感技术获取了2012年各县域的水体面积,并划分为不同的水体类型。通过全局和局域空间自相关,分析了89个县（市）水产养殖典型要素的空间异质性以及空间差异程度。针对空间关联及非均质性的现象,运用地理加权回归揭示了水体资源大小、养殖方式、平均单产水平和渔业专业养殖人员数量对养殖产量的影响程度。结果表明：江西省水体资源类型以大水面为主,占总面积的70%,其次为水库山塘,占21.26%,小型池塘面积占9%。水资源结构地区差异明显,北部区域以大水面为主,南部以山塘水库为主。养殖产量和面积表现出空间集聚分布特征（P<0.01）,但各县域的聚集性分布也表现出不同的模式,彭泽县、都昌县、鄱阳县、南昌市辖区、南昌县、丰城市、进贤县和余干县8个县域,均为高-高分布类型,养殖面积和产量分别占到总量的34.55%、35.42%。从养殖品种结构上,特种养殖产量主要集中在上饶市、九江市、南昌市和宜春市,占69.84%,但特种养殖产量所占比例与水体资源大小的相关性下降,水资源较少的东部山区丘陵地带依据区位特征发展鳖、蛙产业,特种养殖比例较高。从水产养殖驱动力分析,水体面积对养殖产量的影响程度最大（中位值为0.46）,其次是小型池塘面积（中位值为0.36）、专业养殖人口数量（中位值为0.26）,3个因素与养殖产量均为正相关,其中水体面积和小型池塘面积对养殖产量的影响程度从南向北递减,专业养殖人口对养殖产量的影响程度从南向北递增。影响程度的空间异质性变化可能与养殖方式和品种结构有关。平均单产水平对养殖产量的贡献较弱（中位值为 -0.003）,各地区影响强度差别不明显。分析结果有助于系统了解江西省水体资源分布和养殖结构,对优化产业规划布局有重要的指导意义。
