Managing Uncertainty in Risk-Based Corrective Action Design: Global Sensitivity Analysis of Contaminant Fate and Exposure Models Used in the Dose Assessment

A variance-based global sensitivity analysis (GSA) was applied to the dose assessment model used in the risk-based corrective action methodology of environmental risk analysis to identify key sources of variability and uncertainty and quantify the relative contribution of these sources to the variance of estimated dose. GSA was performed applying extended Fourier amplitude sensitivity test technique. The soil-to-air contaminant transport pathway within an inhalation exposure scenario was addressed. Three persistent semi-volatile carcinogenic chemicals, including polychlorinated biphenyls, benzo(a)pyrene, and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, were chosen as contaminants of concern.

Tissue radionuclide concentrations in water birds and upland birds on the Hanford Site (USA) from 1971-2009

Historical operations at the Hanford Site (Washington State, USA) have released a wide array of non-radionuclide and radionuclide contaminants into the environment. As a result, there is a need to characterize contaminant effects on site biota. Within this framework, the main purpose of our study was to evaluate radionuclide concentrations in bird tissue, obtained from the Hanford Environmental Information System (HEIS). The database was sorted by avian group (water bird vs. upland bird), radionuclide (over 20 analytes), tissue (muscle, bone, liver), location (onsite vs. offsite), and time period (1971-1990 vs. 1991-2009). Onsite median concentrations in water birds were significantly higher (Bonferroni P < 0.05) than those in onsite upland birds for Cs-137 in muscle (1971-1990) and Sr-90 in bone (1991-2009), perhaps due to behavioral, habitat, or trophic species differences. Onsite median concentrations in water birds were higher (borderline significance with Bonferroni P = 0.05) than those in offsite birds for Cs-137 in muscle (1971-1990). Onsite median concentrations in the earlier time period were significantly higher (Bonferroni P < 0.05) than those in the later time period for Co-60, Cs-137, Eu-152, and Sr-90 in water bird muscle and for Cs-137 in upland bird muscle tissue. Median concentrations of Sr-90 in bone were significantly higher (Bonferroni P < 0.05) than those in muscle for both avian groups and both locations. Over the time period, 1971-2009, onsite median internal dose was estimated for each radionuclide in water bird and upland bird tissues. However, a meaningful dose comparison between bird groups was not possible, due to a dissimilar radionuclide inventory, mismatch of time periods for input radionuclides, and lack of an external dose estimate. Despite these limitations, our results contribute toward ongoing efforts to characterize ecological risk at the Hanford Site.

氡及其衰变子体会对人体产生辐射损伤。高浓度的氡可以致癌,而其具有无色、无嗅及无味的特性,因此难以察觉。据国内外的最新研究结果表明,氡是仅次于吸烟诱发肺病而死亡的第二大病因。对乌鲁木齐市有代表性的商场超市、酒店、娱乐场所以及宾馆的室内氡浓度进行监测,室内氡浓度平均值23．8Bq／m3,低于国标的400Bq／m3;并估算出对其内工作人员所造成的年有效剂量为0．137mSy,低于世界平均值1．008mSy,对于只作短暂停留的客人来说,所受到的剂量还要低。

二氧化氯-氯联合用于饮用水消毒的研究进展

使用单一的氯或者二氧化氯消毒剂都有一定的局限性,二氧化氯-氯联合消毒工艺是近年来消毒工艺研究的新方向,本文主要对二氧化氯-氯联合消毒工艺的特点和控制因素进行阐述。实验结果表明,二氧化氯-氯联合消毒工艺不仅能够有效地去除水样中的大肠杆菌以及其他细菌,而且联合消毒工艺能够减少消毒副产物的生成,并且有比较强的持续消毒能力。联合消毒工艺受投加比例的影响比较大,因为二氧化氯的浓度过高,衰减也相应增加,并且所产生的ClO2^-量也随之增加;而当液氯的浓度过高时,对应所产生的消毒副产物也随之增加。投加比例一般在ClO2：Cl2=1：3到1：6之间。
