Determination of organochlorine pesticide residue in sediment and water from the Densu river basin, Ghana

The distribution of organochlorine pesticides in the aquatic ecosystem from the Densu river revealed varying levels of concentration in water and the sediment samples. Three locations were sampled along the river to evaluate the levels of organochlorine pesticide residue in the river. Sediment and surface water samples were extracted by soxhlet and liquid-liquid extraction respectively and analyzed using Gas Chromatograph coupled with electron capture detector. The detectable organochlorine pesticides were gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), delta-hexachlorocyclohexane, heptachlor, aldrin and dieldrin. The other pesticides that were investigated are gamma-chlordane, alpha endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate, p,p′-DDT and its metabolite p,p′-DDE, methoxychlor, endrin and its metabolite endrin aldehyde and endrin ketone. The order of increasing frequency of detection of samples was higher in sediment than water. In sediment, the mean concentration ranged from 0.030 μg kg⁻¹ dry weight (endrin) to 10.98 μg kg⁻¹ dry weight (aldrin). The highest detected concentration of organochlorine in water was endosulfan sulfate with mean concentration of 0.185 μg L⁻¹. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences for most organochlorine pesticide residue in the sediment sampled from the various locations. Some of the levels of organochlorine pesticides detected in water were relatively high compared to guideline values set by World Health Organization and Australia and thus could be harmful if the trend is not checked.

采用HPLC定量检出京杭大运河扬州段表层沉积物中16 种优控PAHs 的总量范围在505~4532.2ng/g (干重) 之间,平均值为2359.4ng/g,属中等污染水平,沉积物中的多环芳烃主要来源于煤炭、木材及石油的不完全燃烧;利用沉积物质量基准法(SQGs)对京杭大运河扬州段沉积物中多环芳烃的风险评价表明, 严重的多环芳烃生态风险在京杭大运河扬州段沉积物中不存在,负面生物毒性效应会偶尔发生, 风险主要来源于低环的多环芳烃。     

Developing a National Indicator of Soil Quality on U.S Forestlands: Methods and Initial Results

The Montreal Process was formed in 1994 to develop an internationally agreed upon set of criteria and indicators for the conservation and sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests. In response to this initiative, the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) and Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) programs of the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service have implemented soil measurements as part of a national monitoring program to address specific questions related to the conservation of soil and water resources. Integration of soil assessments into the national FIA program provides for systematic monitoring of soil properties across all forested regions of the U.S. using standardized collection, laboratory, and statistical procedures that are compatible with existing forest inventory data. The resulting information will provide quantitative benchmarks for regional, national, and international reporting on sustainable forest management and enhance our understanding of management effects on soil quality. This paper presents an overview of the FIA soil monitoring program, outlines the field and laboratory protocols as currently implemented, and provides examples of how these data may be used to assess indicators of sustainable management as defined by the Montreal Process.     

石漠化治理对岩溶地下水水化学和溶解无机碳稳定同位素的影响

以贵州关岭-贞丰花江岩溶石漠化综合治理示范区不同土地利用类型和不同石漠化治理模式的5个泉点为研究对象,分析泉水水化学特征及溶解无机碳(DIC)稳定同位素(δ13CDIC)的分布和变化,揭示石漠化治理的岩溶效应和水质效应.结果表明,研究区地下水水化学类型为重碳酸-钙型(HCO3-Ca),人类活动干预相对较少的水井湾、戈贝和毛家湾泉水的水质较好,而受农业活动影响较多的吊井和谭家寨泉水主要离子浓度和电导率都较高,水质相对较差;泉水p H值、方解石饱和指数(SIc)和二氧化碳分压(p CO2)对土地利用或石漠化治理反应敏感,表现为水井湾、吊井、谭家寨和戈贝泉水中的p H值和SIc小于毛家湾泉水,相反p CO2明显大于毛家湾泉水;水井湾、毛家湾、戈贝泉水中的(Ca2++Mg2+)/HCO-3当量比接近1∶1,以碳酸风化碳酸盐岩为主,吊井和谭家寨泉水中(Ca2++Mg2+)相对HCO-3明显偏高,主要是因为受到农业活动强烈影响,可能有硫酸和硝酸参与了碳酸盐岩的溶蚀;此外,雨季由于生物旺盛,泉水中的δ13CDIC值较旱季偏轻;不同泉水中δ13CDIC平均值大小顺序为吊井(-12.79‰)水井湾(-12.48‰)戈贝(-10.76‰)毛家湾(-10.30‰)谭家寨(-6.70‰),反映了石漠化和农业施肥影响下的地下水的δ13CDIC值偏重,石漠化治理后泉水的δ13CDIC值则偏轻.     

桂西北峰丛洼地泉水和溪流在降雨过程中的水化学动态变化特征

通过对中国科学院环江喀斯特农业生态系统观测研究站所在区域的泉水和溪流在降雨时的连续采集,发现二者的水化学特征对降雨的响应较快,但变化却不同。降雨时泉水的pH值在降雨时降低,电导率和主要离子浓度升高,SI降低,pCO2升高,而溪流的电导率和主要离子浓度降低,碳酸盐矿物饱和指数(SI)降低,水中二氧化碳分压(pCO2)降低。降雨时泉水和溪流的溶质输移速率明显增加,但没有表现出在连续降雨中因为降雨强度大输移速率就高的现象,从而推断,除了雨水的稀释作用和"土壤CO2效应"外,土壤包气带的"前水"以及土壤中可交换态离子也影响了降雨时峰丛洼地水体中溶质的运移。
