黄河下游水体悬浮颗粒物中金属元素的地球化学行为

为调查黄河下游颗粒物的风化状况以及重金属变化规律及其污染程度,于2009年6~7月调水调沙期间(每日)及2010年4月至2011年11月(每月中旬)对垦利浮桥水体颗粒物进行采样调查.样品经消解后采用ICP-AES测定其中Al、Na、K、Ca、Fe、Mn、Cu、Zn、Cr、Ni、V的含量.采用化学风化指数(CIA)来衡量硅酸盐的化学风化程度,结果表明,黄河流域颗粒物化学风化程度为中等,近30年来颗粒物化学风化程度没有明显变化.黄河下游颗粒物中重金属(Cu、Zn、Cr、Ni、V)浓度呈现出冬季高夏季低的变化规律,调水调沙期间重金属浓度降低后期略有回升,这一变化规律主要是受泥沙的稀释及颗粒物粒径等因素影响.重金属富集因子(EF)的计算表明,黄河下游Zn具有中等程度的污染,其他元素无明显污染.提取3个因子对黄河下游颗粒物的化学组成因素进行分析,颗粒物主要受风化的影响,同时也受径流量以及人类活动的影响.

Ergonomic Program Effectiveness: Ergonomic and Medical Intervention

The implementation of a successful ergonomic and medical intervention program designed to reduce the number and severity of injuries and illnesses and the associated levels of discomfort in the workplace is presented. Because of the recent activity concerning the on-again-off-again Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Ergonomic Program Standard questions have been raised as to the value and effectiveness of an organization’s ergonomics program. In light of these concerns, the immense cost associated with work-related injury and illness, and the related pain and suffering associated with such injuries and illnesses, it is important to present a workable and effective ergonomic and medical intervention program. The results of this applied study demonstrate that through the application of an ergonomic and medical intervention program, workplace-related injuries and illnesses can be reduced or eliminated.

Spatial correlation between the prevalence of transmissible spongiform diseases and British soil geochemistry

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a group of fatal neurological conditions affecting a number of mammals, including sheep and goats (scrapie), cows (BSE), and humans (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). The diseases are widely believed to be caused by the misfolding of the normal prion protein to a pathological isoform, which is thought to act as an infectious agent. Outbreaks of the disease are commonly attributed to contaminated feed and genetic susceptibility. However, the implication of copper and manganese in the pathology of the disease, and its apparent geographical clustering, have prompted suggestions of a link with trace elements in the environment. Nevertheless, studies of soils at regional scales have failed to provide evidence of an environmental risk factor. This study uses geostatistical techniques to investigate the correlations between the distribution of TSE prevalence and soil geochemical variables across the UK according to different spatial scales. A similar spatial pattern in scrapie and BSE occurrence is identified, which may be linked with increasing pH and total organic carbon, and decreasing iodine concentration. However, the pattern also resembles that of the density of dairy farming. Nevertheless, despite the low spatial resolution of the TSE data available for this study, the fact that significant correlations are detected indicates there is a possibility of a link between soil geochemistry, scrapie, and BSE. It is suggested that further investigations of the prevalence of TSE and environmental exposure to trace metals should take into account the factors affecting their bioavailability.     

ISOTOPIC EVALUATION OF Pb OCCURRENCES IN THE RIVERINE ECOSYSTEMS OF THE KANKAKEE WATERSHED,ILLINOIS‐INDIANA1

ABSTRACT: Environmental background levels of Pb were measured in ponds, river waters, sediments, suspended sediments, rocks, and air particulates within the Kankakee watershed during the period of 1995 to 1999. Stable isotopic Pb distinguished airborne Pb and its incorporation into riverine wetland sediments from geogenic Pb measured in river sediments. The provenance of the naturally‐occurring Pb is from carbonate bedrock and contributes comparable concentrations in riverbank sediments (25.9–30.4 mg kg^?1) as Pb found in wetland sediments (18.6–24.8 mg kg^?1). Estimates of anthropogenic Pb contributions from airfall into the Kankakee wetlands were found to be near 0.43–0.71 Bq cm^?2 yr^?1 during 1995 to 1999. While leachable Pb data suggests the uppermost layers of pond sediments were disturbed, ²¹⁰Pb analyses from undisturbed sedimentation suggests Pb‐bearing sediments accumulate approximately 0.46–0.51 cm yr^?1 in the ponds within the riparian zones. Transboundary Pb pollution from aerosols of industrial Pb across the Great Lakes occurs, but Pb isotopy indicates that the Pb concentrations are comparable to natural concentrations of Pb in both waters and sediments within the Kankakee watershed.     

医疗废物焚烧过程中脱氯机理和试验

医疗废物中包括含有大量的PVC,焚烧时会产生HCl从而污染环境,因此医疗废物在焚烧处理时需要进行脱氯。经热力学计算可知,医疗废物焚烧炉内喷入脱氯吸收剂在燃烧过程脱氯,效果最好的脱氯剂是Ca(OH)2、CaO、CaCO3、MgCO3、Mg(OH)2和MgO。在固定床上进行的医疗废物焚烧过程中脱氯试验结果表明:温度对脱氯有着重要的影响,最佳脱氯温度为800℃左右;吸收剂粒径越小,脱氯效率越高;随着Ca/Cl值的增大脱氯率增大,但增加的速度却趋于平缓,所得最佳Ca/Cl值为2.5~3。
