纳氏试剂比色法测定海水中的氨氮

进行了用纳氏试剂比色法直接测定海水中氨氮的试验。试验表明，可用酒石酸钾钠溶液—氢氧化钠溶液作为掩蔽剂排除海水中钙、镁离子对测定的干扰。着重对氢氧化钠溶液用量、显色剂用量和显色时间进行了试验，以用200g／L氢氧化钠溶液2．5mL，纳氏试剂1．5mL，显色25min为最佳测定条件，并对水样中的盐度影响作了考察。氨氮质量浓度在0．01mg／L—0．40mg/L范围内符合比耳定律，检出限为0．01mg／L；平行样相对偏差为9％，加标回收率在91％—108％之间；相对盐度为10—32的海水可以直接测定。     

我国海岸带灾害的加剧发展及其防御方略

中国大陆海岸带绵长1.8万公里,地跨12个省市,是我国人口密集、经济发展最快的地区。出现的严重灾害有台风、风暴潮、洪涝、地震海啸、海岸侵蚀、盐水入侵、海冰、地基下沉、污染、赤潮等十类,并互相叠加,形成年直接经济损失100亿元以上。全球海平面上升与人类活动加强,使海岸带灾害加剧发展,粗略估计到下世纪初中期,导致的损失可能达到1000亿元以上,是海岸带经济发展的重要制约因素。必须提高全民防灾意识,在调查研究基础上,拟订海岸带减灾规划;加强灾害的监测、预报和预警;加高加固防潮防洪大堤与护岸工程,疏浚内陆洼地和城市排洪河道,提高排水能力;保护地下水源,严格限制过量开采,以防止地面下沉和盐水入侵;合理开发海岸带资源,保护生态环境,严格限制超标排污;积极参加国际合作,逐步限制CO_2等温室气体的排放,和缓海平面上升趋势,争取大幅度减轻海岸带灾害。     

东亚地区夏季旱涝分布与南海夏季风爆发时间关系

利用东亚地区529个代表站地面历史月降水资料和南海夏季风爆发时间的历史序列资料，对近55年（1951—2005年）南海夏季风爆发时间进行了多时间尺度变化特征分析，并依据夏季降水距平百分率确定了旱涝灾害等级标准，应用合成诊断分析方法研究了南海夏季风爆发时间偏早、偏晚和正常3种典型时态与东亚地区夏季旱涝分布的对应关系。结果表明：（1）在南海夏季风偏早爆发年份，中国长江流域、东北北部、华北局部以及韩国南部、日本南部、蒙古国东部易发生旱灾；中国的华南东部、淮河流域、环渤海北部及中朝边界、韩国北部易发生涝灾；（2）在南海夏季风偏晚爆发年份，中国江南地区、东南沿海、海南岛、东北局部以及日本的东部易发生旱灾；中国华南西部、淮河流域、华北大部、东北东部以及韩国南部、日本南部易发生涝灾；（3）在南海夏季风正常爆发年份，中国的华南南部、江淮地区、中朝边界、中蒙边界以及韩国局部、日本南部易发生旱灾；中国江南西部以及日本大部易发生涝灾。     

海平面升高与水土流失

从中国实际出发,并结合全球水汽循环及水力作用,指出水土流失也是引起海平面升高的一个重要因素。同时,提出了生态保护对策与建议。     

黄、东海溶解态无机砷的形态及其分布

利用氢化物发生原子荧光光谱法对2000年10月和2001年5月航次黄、东海的无机砷进行了测定.两个航次中黄、东海总溶解态无机砷(TDIA8)含量的变化范围分别为9.-21.和12.～23.nmoL,L,亚砷酸盐(As3 )含量的变化范围分别为0.2-2.4和0.1-9.2 nmoL/L,2000年秋季TDIAs和As3 的含量明显低于2001年春季.长江对黄、东海的影响非常显著,是主要的物质来源之一.黄海溶解态无机砷的平面分布表现为沿岸和东黄海交界处高,黄海中部冷水团区含量较低.东海自长江口向西南琉球群岛沿伸的PN断面中,TDIAs和As3 的分布存在明显的梯度,自长江口向中央海区递减,然后由于受到黑潮水入侵含量又开始升高.东海陆架区As3 的含量、分布受到浮游植物活动的影响,表现出与叶绿素含量存在相关关系.     

2005年夏季环渤海16条主要入海河流的污染状况

2005-07-01～2005-07-05对环渤海的黄河等16条主要河流的入海污染同步调查显示,13条河流断面的水质属于Ⅳ类以上,其中子牙新河等8条河流水质属于劣Ⅴ类,通过污染分担率分析,环渤海河流的首要污染物为石油类（11条河流）,其次为营养盐,高锰酸盐指数仅位居第3.采用综合营养状态指数法评价,大辽河、黄河等7条河流处于富营养状态,而小清河、蓟运河等7条河流处于重度富营养状态,可见环渤海河流的富营养化现象非常严重.有机污染物的调查显示,16条河流断面采样点TOC的平均值为16 .41 mg/L,高锰酸盐指数的平均值为6 .04 mg/L,其中易降解有机物所占比例平均为15 .61%,表明虽然环渤海16条河流中的化学需氧有机物质的污染严重,但总有机物的入海通量更大,这一点必须引起足够的重视.     

Accidental Versus Operational Oil Spills from Shipping in the Baltic Sea: Risk Governance and Management Strategies

Marine governance of oil transportation is complex. Due to difficulties in effectively monitoring procedures on vessels en voyage, incentives to save costs by not following established regulations on issues such as cleaning of tanks, crew size, and safe navigation may be substantial. The issue of problem structure is placed in focus, that is, to what degree the specific characteristics and complexity of intentional versus accidental oil spill risks affect institutional responses. It is shown that whereas the risk of accidental oil spills primarily has been met by technical requirements on the vessels in combination with Port State control, attempts have been made to curb intentional pollution by for example increased surveillance and smart governance mechanisms such as the No-Special-Fee system. It is suggested that environmental safety could be improved by increased use of smart governance mechanisms tightly adapted to key actors’ incentives to alter behavior in preferable directions.     

Plutonium bioaccumulation in seabirds

The aim of the paper was plutonium (²³⁸Pu and ^239+240Pu) determination in seabirds, permanently or temporarily living in northern Poland at the Baltic Sea coast. Together 11 marine birds species were examined: 3 species permanently residing in the southern Baltic, 4 species of wintering birds and 3 species of migrating birds. The obtained results indicated plutonium is non-uniformly distributed in organs and tissues of analyzed seabirds. The highest plutonium content was found in the digestion organs and feathers, the smallest in skin and muscles. The plutonium concentration was lower in analyzed species which feed on fish and much higher in herbivorous species. The main source of plutonium in analyzed marine birds was global atmospheric fallout.     

Assessment of biological effects of environmental pollution along the NW Mediterranean Sea using red mullets as sentinel organisms

A biomonitoring program was carried out in spring and autumn in three pollution hot-spots and sensitive areas of the NW Mediterranean Sea using red mullets (Mullus barbatus) as sentinel organisms and a battery of biomarkers together with gonad histology. In fish from anthropogenic impacted areas (Fos-sur-mer, Cortiou, Arenzano, Delta of Ebro) lysosomal membrane destabilization occurred indicating disturbed health. There were no significant differences in metallothionein (MT) levels among stations. Peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase (AOX) activity was highest in fish from Cortiou. Both MT levels and AOX activities were significantly correlated with gamete development. Prevalence of melanomacrophage centers were high in Cortiou in all samplings and in Fos-sur-mer in September samplings. In conclusion, the application of a battery of biomarkers in red mullets provided relevant data for the assessment of environmental pollution in the NW Mediterranean Sea but also showed the difficulties of using native fish as sentinels. For future studies caging strategies are recommended.
