城市土壤吸附重金属动力学特征及其与土壤理化性质的关系

以长春市土壤为对象,既研究了长春市土壤理化性质特征,又采用间歇法研究了城市土壤吸附重金属Pb、Cd和Cu动力学特征及其两者之间的关系。结果表明：长春市土壤pH接近于中性或者偏碱性;土壤碳酸钙、有机质含量升高;土壤砂粒化;土壤CEC和Eh具有逐渐降低的趋势。土壤吸附重金属动力学过程包括快速阶段和慢速阶段,不同重金属在不同吸附阶段吸附速率明显不同。双常数速率方程和Elovich方程基本上可以描述土壤对Pb、CA和Cu吸附的动力学过程。pH、碳酸钙和砂粒含量是影响Pb吸附速率的主要因子;碳酸钙含量是影响CA吸附速率的主要因子。     

Metals Associated with Suspended Sediments in Lakes Erie and Ontario, 2000–2002

Sediment traps were deployed in the three major basins of Lake Erie, and the central (Mississauga) basin of Lake Ontario, and refurbished seasonally over the period 2000–2002. In Lake Ontario, sediment down-flux rates and corresponding contaminant down-flux rates were highest in winter during periods of unstratified thermal conditions, and generally increased with depth due to the influence of resuspended bottom sediments during all sampling periods. Lake Ontario suspended sediments exhibited the highest concentrations of metals; concentrations of mercury and lead frequently exceeded guideline values for bottom sediments. Contaminant levels in Lake Ontario suspended sediments were similar to concentrations in bottom sediments in the same area. There was a spatial trend toward higher suspended sediment metals concentrations from the eastern basin to the western basin of Lake Erie, which is similar to the trend in bottom sediment contamination. In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, which is the deepest area of the lake, there was no trend in down-flux rate with depth in 2001; however, down-flux rates increased with depth in 2002. Suspended sediments in the western basin of Lake Erie were determined to be largely resuspended bottom sediments; all western basin samples collected in the study exceeded the guideline value for mercury (0.486 μg/g).     

The immobilisation and retention of soluble arsenic, cadmium and zinc by biochar

Water-soluble inorganic pollutants may constitute an environmental toxicity problem if their movement through soils and potential transfer to plants or groundwater is not arrested. The capability of biochar to immobilise and retain arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) from a multi-element contaminated sediment-derived soil was explored by a column leaching experiment and scanning electron microanalysis (SEM/EDX). Sorption of Cd and Zn to biochar’s surfaces assisted a 300 and 45-fold reduction in their leachate concentrations, respectively. Retention of both metals was not affected by considerable leaching of water-soluble carbon from biochar, and could not be reversed following subsequent leaching of the sorbant biochar with water at pH 5.5. Weakly water-soluble As was also retained on biochar’s surface but leachate concentrations did not duly decline. It is concluded that biochar can rapidly reduce the mobility of selected contaminants in this polluted soil system, with especially encouraging results for Cd.

A Screening-Level Assessment of Lead, Cadmium, and Zinc in Fish and Crayfish from Northeastern Oklahoma, USA

The objective of this study was to evaluate potential human and ecological risks associated with metals in fish and crayfish from mining in the Tri-States Mining District (TSMD). Crayfish (Orconectes spp.) and fish of six frequently consumed species (common carp, Cyprinus carpio; channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus; flathead catfish, Pylodictis olivaris; largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides; spotted bass, M. punctulatus; and white crappie, Pomoxis annularis) were collected in 2001--2002 from the Oklahoma waters of the Spring River (SR) and Neosho River (NR), which drain the TSMD. Samples from a mining-contaminated site in eastern Missouri and from reference sites were also analyzed. Individual fish were prepared for human consumption in the manner used locally by Native Americans (headed, eviscerated, and scaled) and analyzed for lead, cadmium, and zinc. Whole crayfish were analyzed as composite samples of 5--60 animals. Metals concentrations were typically higher in samples from sites most heavily affected by mining and lowest in reference samples. Within the TSMD, most metals concentrations were higher at sites on the SR than on the NR and were typically highest in common carp and crayfish than in other taxa. Higher concentrations and greater risk were associated with fish and crayfish from heavily contaminated SR tributaries than the SR or NR mainstems. Based on the results of this and previous studies, the human consumption of carp and crayfish could be restricted based on current criteria for lead, cadmium, and zinc, and the consumption of channel catfish could be restricted due to lead. Metals concentrations were uniformly low in Micropterus spp. and crappie and would not warrant restriction, however. Some risk to carnivorous avian wildlife from lead and zinc in TSMD fish and invertebrates was also indicated, as was risk to the fish themselves. Overall, the wildlife assessment is consistent with previously reported biological effects attributed to metals from the TSMD. The results demonstrate the potential for adverse effects in fish, wildlife, and humans and indicate that further investigation of human health and ecological risks, to include additional exposure pathways and endpoints, is warranted.This study was conducted by the Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and cooperating organizations and government agencies. All field and laboratory procedures conformed to the “Guidelines for the use of fishes in research” of the American Fisheries Society (AFS), Institute of Fishery Research Biologists (AIFRB), and American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (ASIH) Use of Fishes in Research Committee (AFS, AIFRB, and ASIH 2004), and with all USGS and CERC guidelines for the humane treatment of test organisms during culture and experimentation.

城市交通干道绿地砷污染评价

为了研究城市砷污染的现状及不同区域砷污染的空间差异性,以吉林市表层土壤为研究对象,在交通干道的绿化带和磨盘山保护区采集35个土壤样本,进行pH、有机质及砷含量的测定。采用单项污染指数、污染累计指数法等对土壤砷污染进行评价,并运用方差分析的方法对不同区域的砷污染进行了差异比较。研究表明:吉林市街道砷含量为26.43 mg/kg,为磨盘山自然土壤砷含量的4.08倍,为吉林市砷土壤背景值7.26倍;吉林市砷总体超标率12.9%。江北工业区、吉林大街和解放大路的单项污染指数分别为1.34、0.95、0.87,整体达到轻微污染水平。江北工业区和吉林大街、解放大路的变异系数相差不大,依次为0.13、0.11、0.17。土壤砷的污染累积指数为3.21,且由北向南递减,因此,砷污染主要来自于江北工业区的工业"三废"污染。

广州市河涌底泥中主要污染物的垂直分布特征

分析了广州市3条河涌底泥中有机质、石油烃、Cd、Cr、Cu、Ni、Pb、Zn等主要污染物的垂直分布特征。结果表明:曾边涌、南村涌、会江涌底泥中有机质平均值分别为43.15mg/kg、10.80 mg/kg、34.81 mg/kg,石油烃含量平均值分别为:1644 mg/kg,2427 mg/kg,6763 mg/kg。有机质和石油烃垂直变化特征相似,曾边涌呈现表层底泥含量低而底层高的特征,南村涌呈现随深度增加而降低的趋势,会江涌呈现先降低后上升的趋势,3条河涌底泥中不同重金属垂直变化规律不一样;河涌底泥中污染物所呈现的垂直分布规律并不总是上层污染物浓度高而下层低的正常沉积特征。因此,在考虑通过清淤改善河流水质时,应考虑河流污染的历史,并调查沉积物中污染物垂直分布的实际情况。     

盐城新洋港表层沉积物重金属分布特征与评价

分析了江苏盐城新洋港河口表层沉积物中的Cr、Ni、Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb共6种重金属元素的含量。研究发现,除Zn和Cd外,其它元素的含量均超过江苏省海岸带的背景值,其中全Cr、Pb、Cu的含量均超国家I类标准,属Ⅰ类沉积物。文章分别使用内梅罗综合污染指数法、Hakanson潜在生态危害指数法和污染负荷指数法对数据进行了分析,研究结果发现内梅罗综合污染指数法得出Cr对环境污染的贡献最大;Hakanson潜在生态危害指数法认为潜在生态风险整体呈现向海不断减小的趋势,并以有植被覆盖的互花米草滩为最高。污染负荷指数法与Hakanson潜在生态危害指数法的评价结果一致。从线状分布看,6种重金属的综合含量整体呈沿向海方向减小趋势,互花米草滩明显高于无植被覆盖的光滩。
