基于PSR模型的三峡库区生态经济区土地生态安全评价

针对三峡库区生态经济区土地资源的特点及所面临的主要问题,基于PSR框架模型的发展,构建了一套评价指标体系.采用熵权赋权法确定权重,运用土地生态安全综合模型,对该区域2003~2006年的土地生态安全综合指数进行了计算.结果表明,区域土地生态安全综合指数由2003年的0.134(敏感级)升高至2006年的0.269(临界安全级),整体生态安全状态呈好转趋势,土地所受的生态压力整体上有所加大.现有土地生态安全状况的改善主要依赖于对现有土地生态问题的治理.现阶段土地的生态压力依然严峻.对2003~2006年的土地生态安全变化进行分析显示,土地生态安全综合状况已进入快速改善阶段.     

我国典型农区耕地承载畜禽容量对比分析

根据农田养分平衡理论,对我国南北两个县级区域山东禹城和湖南桃源的耕地承载畜禽容量和负载指数进行了对比分析。 基于农田N收支情景分析表明:当农田施用粪便N分别占到总投入N的30%、60%和100%时,山东禹城耕地承载畜禽容量分别为4.1、8.3和13.8 LU·hm^-2,相应负载指数分别是2.2、1.1和0.7,湖南桃源耕地承载畜禽容量分别是4.4、8.7和14.6 LU·hm^-2,相应负载指数分别是1.4、0.7和0.4;基于农田N收支的耕地畜禽容量呈现为禹城略低于桃源,负载指数呈现为禹城显著高于桃源。基于农田P收支情景分析表明:当农田施用粪便P₂O₅分别占总施入P₂O₅的30%、60%和100%时,山东禹城耕地承载畜禽容量分别为6.7、13.5和22.5 LU·hm^-2,相应的耕地畜禽承载指数分别是1.3、0.7和0.4,湖南桃源耕地承载畜禽容量分别是2.5、5.1和8.5 LU·hm^-2,相应的负载指数分别是2.4、1.2和0.7,基于农田P收支的耕地畜禽容量呈现为禹城显著高于桃源,负载指数为禹城低于桃源。可见,禹城基于农田N收支的耕地承载畜禽容量显著低于基于农田P收支的耕地承载畜禽容量,桃源正好与禹城相反。因此,今后在制定减少农田环境污染对策时,禹城应首先考虑农田N收支及粪便N的有效管理与利用;桃源则应首先考虑农田P收支及粪便P的有效管理与利用,并且因为区域内乡镇之间存在较大差异,还应在乡镇之间进行协调平衡。     

改进的产业碳关联系数及应用 ——以上海为例

投入产出分析中重要的影响力系数和感应度系数被引入到我国的产业环境关联研究中,但采用的计算方法却多是存在缺陷的传统公式,对指标的政策意义解读也有待深入.在梳理2项指标前沿发展的基础上,以部门最终产品构成系数为权数,改进了表征产业碳关联的碳影响力系数和碳影响诱导系数(代替原碳感应度系数)的计算公式,并指出前者主要对应产业政策,对部门划分水平较不敏感,而后者主要对应节能减排政策,对部门划分水平较敏感.将改进的指标应用于2010年上海市,结果表明,其产业政策应扶植服务业和先进制造业,鼓励重化工业和专用设备制造业转型,逐步淘汰多数传统中低端制造业,节能减排政策的重点实施部门则应扩大到部分高能耗服务业.     

Immunotoxic manifestations in rats following inhalative exposure to furfural vapors

Furfural is an industrial compound used as a process intermediate and as a solvent; it poses a potential inhalation hazard in occupational settings. This study was carried out to find furfural-induced immunotoxicity in Wistar rat following inhalative exposure. The weights of thymus and lymph node were found decreased, while the weights of the liver and the adrenal gland were significantly increased following furfural exposure. Delayed-type hypersensitivity response was found decreased in furfural vapors-exposed animals when compared to that of control animals. The phagocytic index of peritoneal and alveolar exudates showed significant decrease and was most prominent (90%) in 30 days-exposed groups. The number of anti-rat anti-sheep red blood cell immunoglobulin M plaque forming cells of spleen got decreased in furfural-exposed groups in comparison to control. Taken together, this study indicates that inhalation of furfural induces immunotoxic manifestations that could lead to severe immunological disorders.     

Directions for hazardous waste storage and final disposal of treated hazardous waste (THW) in Austria

Austria produces about 700,000 tons of hazardous waste a year. Approximately 8% are sent to the incinerating facility EBS near Vienna. Approximately 60% THW (treated hazardous wastes) are finally disposed of. An unknown amount is sent to foreign countries for storage and landfilling.

By order of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Public Health our institute elaborates guidelines for designing and operating final disposal hazardous waste facilities.

This paper deals with the fundamental aspects and the present state of these guidelines.

我国空气质量健康指数的初步研究

收集我国16个城市2001~2010年每日PM10、SO2和NO2浓度和居民日死亡数,采用经典的时间序列研究方法和贝叶斯层次模型,分析在全国水平上各污染物与居民每日总死亡率的暴露反应关系,据此构建我国空气质量健康指数(AQHI).比较AQHI与现行空气污染指数(API)和空气质量指数(AQI)预测居民日死亡率的能力.结果显示,AQHI的构建公式为:AQHI=10/16.4×100×[exp(0.00019×PM10)-1+exp (0.00061×NO2)-1].AQHI预测居民每日总死亡率、心血管疾病死亡率和呼吸系统疾病死亡率的强度和精确度均优于现行的API与AQI.     

Does low N-mineralisation rate in soils under grass help limit nitrate leaching in summer?

This paper aimed to confirm the hypothesis that rates of ammonification and net mineral-N production in soils under grass in summer are low and this, rather than nitrate uptake by plants, reduces mineral leaching from soils in summer. Six sets of soil samples were collected from under mown grass on the University of York campus in the UK. Samples were taken from two depths in late summer (August) and late autumn (November) to compare seasonal differences in N species transformations when field-moist soils were incubated for a week at ambient outdoor temperatures after prior removal of vegetation. Ammonification and net mineral-N production rates were low in August in spite of warm temperatures. Net mineral-N production rates were also low in November. The results agreed with those of an earlier study in a different year after considering weather differences between years. They support the hypothesis that litter accumulated over autumn/winter will be minimally mineralised and retain N before the temperature rises in spring. The study shows the merit of measuring concentrations of mineral-N species in both fresh soils and soils incubated at ambient outdoor temperatures after removing plant material to eliminate plant N uptake effects. The results suggest that soil C% and N% are more important than soil C:N ratio alone in understanding controls on N transformations.     

Natural and Anthropogenic Effects On Phytoplankton Primary Productivity in Mangroves

Abstract

Spatial and temporal variations and the factors influencing primary production have been studied in three different mangrove waters (Pichavaram, Ennore Creek and Adyar Estuary) of South India characterised by different anthropogenic impacts. the gross primary productivity in the unpolluted Pichavaram mangrove was 113 g Cm^?2yr^?1 exhibiting natural variability with the environmental forcing factors. Human activities have elevated primary productivity in the Ennore Creek mangrove (157g Cm^?2yr^?1) primarily through the direct discharge of fertilizer effluents. By contrast, a combination of domestic and industrial effluent discharges into the Adyar Estuary mangrove has considerably reduced phytoplankton primary productivity 83g Cm^?2yr^?1 the Redfield N: P ratio varies from 0.96 N: 1P at Ennore Creek, 1.75N: 1P at Adyar Estuary to 15.2 N: 1P at Pichavaram mangroves. This suggests that the Pichavaram mangroves represent a well equilibrated ecosystem with N: P ratio close to steady-state values in contrast to the anthropogenically altered mangrove ecosystems studied. Results show a significant temporal variability in nutrient concentration in the three mangrove areas. Distinct differences in nutrient concentrations between the dry and the wet seasons have been observed.
