Size distribution and source of heavy metals in particulate matter on the lead and zinc smelting affected area

In order to understand the size distribution and the main kind of heavy metals in particulate matter on the lead and zinc smelting affected area, particulate matter(PM) and the source samples were collected in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province from December 2011 to January 2012 and the results were discussed and interpreted. Atmospheric particles were collected with different sizes by a cascade impactor. The concentrations of heavy metals in atmospheric particles of different sizes, collected from the air and from factories, were measured using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS). The results indicated that the average concentration of PM, chromium(Cr), arsenic(As), cadmium(Cd) and lead(Pb) in PM was177.3 ± 33.2 μg/m~3, 37.3 ± 8.8 ng/m~3, 17.3 ± 8.1 ng/m~3, 4.8 ± 3.1 ng/m~3 and 141.6 ± 49.1 ng/m~3,respectively. The size distribution of PM displayed a bimodal distribution; the maximum PM size distribution was at 1.1–2.1 μm, followed by 9–10 μm. The size distribution of As, Cd and Pb in PM was similar to the distribution of the PM mass, with peaks observed at the range of1.1–2.1 μm and 9–10 μm ranges while for Cr, only a single-mode at 4.7–5.8 μm was observed. PM(64.7%), As(72.5%), Cd(72.2%) and Pb(75.8%) were associated with the fine mode below 2.1 μm,respectively, while Cr(46.6%) was associated with the coarse mode. The size distribution characteristics, enrichment factor, correlation coefficient values, source information and the analysis of source samples showed that As, Cd and Pb in PM were the typical heavy metal in lead and zinc smelting affected areas, which originated mainly from lead and zinc smelting sources.     

Wet and dry deposition fluxes of heavy metals in Pearl River Delta Region (China): Characteristics, ecological risk assessment, and source apportionment

The atmospheric deposition of heavy metals poses serious risks to the ecological system and human health. To advance our knowledge of atmospheric dry/wet heavy metal deposition in the PRD region, monthly fluxes were examined based on soluble/insoluble fractions of five heavy metal elements(Cu, Pb, Cd, Cr and Zn) in samples collected from January 2014 to December 2015 at Guangzhou(urban) and Dinghushan(suburban) sites. The ratios of wet/dry deposition fluxes indicated that heavy metal deposition was governed by wet deposition rather than dry deposition in the PRD region. Affected by the shifting of the Asian monsoon, wet deposition fluxes exhibited significant seasonal variation between summer monsoon seasons(April to September) and winter monsoon seasons(October to February) in this region. Cd was classified as an extremely strong potential ecological risk based on solubility and the Hakanson ecological risk index. Source contributions to wet deposition were calculated by PMF, suggesting that dust, biomass burning, industries,vehicles, long-range transport and marine aerosol sources in Guangzhou, and Zn fertilizers,marine aerosol sources, agriculture, incense burning, biomass burning, vehicles and the ceramics industry in Dinghushan, were the potential sources of heavy metals.

乌鲁木齐市冬季大气污染特征及区域集中供热的环境效益浅析

乌鲁木齐市区冬季大气污染严重，属煤烟型污染，究其原因主要有三点：市区处在三面环山的谷地之中，冬季不利于污染物扩散的气象条件；采期煤耗的增加，在大气污染物总排放量明显高于其它季节，而改善市区大气环境质量的有效途径之一就是实现区域集中供热。本文针对乌鲁木齐市幸福路区域集中供热站拟扩建的３台２９ＭＷ热水锅炉，说明区域集中供热对减少污染物排放量，改善大气环境质量有明显的作用。

Nitration and hydroxylation of benzene in the presence of nitrite/nitrous acid in aqueous solution

This paper studies the nitration and hydroxylation of benzene in the presence of nitrite/nitrous acid in aqueous solution, both in the dark upon addition of hydrogen peroxide and under 360 nm irradiation. In both cases the detected transformation intermediates were phenol (P), nitrobenzene (NB), 2-nitrophenol (2NP) and 4-nitrophenol (4NP). P and NB directly form from benzene, and the initial formation rate of P is at least an order of magnitude higher than that of NB. In our experiments nitrophenols arise from P nitration, as can be inferred by their time evolution and isomer ratio (2NP:4NP=60:40, 3NP below detection limit). Nitrophenols may also form upon hydroxylation of NB, but in a different ratio (2NP:3NP:4NP=45:30:25). The detection of 3NP is thus a marker for the hydroxylation of NB, since this isomer is not formed in P nitration processes. The formation rates of P and NB increase with decreasing pH, both in the presence of HNO₂ + H₂O₂ in the dark (which produce HOONO) and in the presence of NO₂⁻/HNO₂ under irradiation. In the former case the pH dependence reflects the formation rate of HOONO. In the case of the irradiation experiments the pH effect can be accounted for by the higher molar absorbivity and photolysis quantum yield of nitrous acid when compared with nitrite. Interestingly, benzene does not react with HNO₂ alone in the dark. An important feature of benzene nitration in the presence of NO₂⁻/HNO₂ under irradiation is that the process is not inhibited by the addition of hydroxyl scavengers, differently from the case of phenol nitration. This finding indicates that nitrite irradiation might lead to the nitration of certain aromatic compounds in natural waters even in the presence of natural hydroxyl scavenging agents, which are usually thought to limit the environmental role of many photochemical processes.
