The influence of engineered Fe2O3 nanoparticles and soluble (FeCl3) iron on the developmental toxicity caused by CO2-induced seawater acidification

An embryo development assay using a common test organism, the edible mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis), exposed to both Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles and soluble FeCl₃ at 3 acidic pHs, has provided evidence for the following: (1) CO₂ enriched seawater adjusted to pH projections for carbon capture leakage scenarios (CCS) significantly impaired embryo development; (2) under natural pH conditions, no significant effect was detected following exposure of embryos to Fe, no matter if in nano- or soluble form; (3) at pH of natural seawater nano-Fe particles aggregate into large, polydisperse and porous particles, with no biological impact detected; (4) at pH 6 and 7, such aggregates may moderate the damage associated with CO₂ enrichment as indicated by an increased prevalence of normal D-shell larvae when nano-Fe was present in the seawater at pH 7, while soluble iron benefited embryo development at pH 6, and (5) the observed effects of iron on pH-induced development toxicity were concentration dependent.     

2001-2012年天津市大气降水特征及化学成分分析

为了解天津市大气降水特征及化学成分变化规律,对2001-2012年天津市酸雨监测资料进行了统计分析.结果表明:2001-2012年,天津市降水pH在波动中总体升高,但升高趋势不显著;酸雨率则呈显著下降趋势;降水pH从春季到冬季呈直线下降趋势,酸雨率从春季到冬季总体呈上升趋势;2008-2012年,pH在6.0～7.5的降水样本较多,在这区间,平均降水量越大,则降水pH越低,酸性越强,平均电导率和平均降水量则表现出明显负相关,即平均降水量较小时平均电导率较高;2001-2012年,天津市降水中各离子当量浓度(当量浓度=质量浓度×原子价/化学结构式量)所占比例为SOi-＞Ca2+ ＞NH4+ ＞NO3-＞C1-＞Mg2+ ＞Na+ ＞F-＞K+;对天津市降水起主导中和作用的阳离子为Ca2+,贡献率在56.4％～77.9％,贡献率春季最高,夏季最低,NHt的贡献率在28.4％～44.0％,夏季最高,冬季最低;从2001-2012年天津市降水的SO42-、NO3-当量浓度之比的变化来看,该市酸雨类型经历了从硫酸型或燃煤型到混合型的过渡过程.

Humidity and PM2.5 composition determine atmospheric light extinction in the arid region of northwest China

Atmospheric visibility can directly reflect the air quality. In this study, we measured water-soluble ions (WSIs), organic and element carbon (OC and EC) in PM_2.5 from September 2017 to August 2018 in Urumqi, NW China. The results show that SO₄^2?, NO₃^? and NH₄⁺ were the major WSIs, together accounting for 7.32%–84.12% of PM_2.5 mass. Total carbon (TC=OC+EC) accounted for 12.12% of PM_2.5 mass on average. And OC/EC > 2 indicated the formation of secondary organic carbon (SOC). The levels of SO₄^2?, NO₃^? and NH₄⁺ in low visibility days were much higher than those in high visibility days. Relative humidity (RH) played a key role in affecting visibility. The extinction coefficient (b_ext) that estimated via Koschmieder formula with visibility was the highest in winter (1441.05 ± 739.95 Mm^?1), and the lowest in summer (128.58 ± 58.00 Mm^?1). The b_ext that estimated via IMPROVE formula with PM_2.5 chemical component was mainly contributed by (NH₄)₂SO₄ and NH₄NO₃. The b_ext values calculated by both approaches presented a good correlation with each other (R² = 0.87). Multiple linear regression (MLR) method was further employed to reconstruct the empirical regression model of visibility as a function of PM_2.5 chemical components, NO₂ and RH. The results of source apportionment by Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model showed that residential coal combustion and vehicle emissions were the major sources of b_ext.     

Characterization of coal burning-derived individual particles emitted from an experimental domestic stove

Coal combustion in the domestic stoves, which is common in most parts of the Chinese countryside, can release harmful substances into the air and cause health issues. In this study, particles emitted from laboratory stove combustion of the raw powder coals were analyzed for morphologies and chemical compositions by using transmission electron microscopy(TEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry(EDX). The coal burning-derived individual particles were classified into two groups: carbonaceous particles(including soot aggregates and organic particles) and non-carbonaceous particles(including sulfate, mineral and metal particles). The non-carbonaceous particles, which constituted a majority of the coal burning-derived emissions, were subdivided into Si-rich, S-rich, K-rich,Ca-rich, and Fe-rich particles according to the elemental compositions. The Si-rich, S-rich and K-rich particles are commonly observed in the coal burning emission. The proportions for particles of different types exhibit obvious coal-issue dependence. Burning of coal with high ash yield could emit more non-carbonaceous particles, and burning of coal with high sulfur content can emit more S-rich particles. By comparing the S-rich particles from this coal burning experiment with those in the atmosphere, we draw a conclusion that some S-rich particles in the atmosphere in China could be mainly sourced from coal combustion.     

陕北水蚀风蚀交错区生物结皮的形成过程与发育特征

生物结皮的形成发育具有明显的时空分异性,荒漠地区的诸多研究结果不能直接推演至黄土高原地区。研究黄土高原生物结皮的形成过程与发育特征,是对全球生物结皮认知的重要补充,也是揭示其生态功能的基础。论文选择陕北黄土高原水蚀风蚀交错区的典型小流域,通过定位动态观察和全面调查测算,探讨生物结皮的发育过程。结果表明：①流域内生物结皮经历了由退耕裸地—物理结皮—生物结皮的发育阶段。退耕撂荒的第1 年,物理结皮便迅速形成;第2 年,土表颜色明显变深,藓结皮开始发育。流域内藓结皮占绝对优势,发育稳定后（15 a）覆盖度可达90%。②不同发育年限生物结皮的物种组成及种数差异很大。发育初期（<6 a）发现苔藓植物2 科4 属5 种,其中芦荟藓（Aloina rigida (Hedw.) Limpr.）和短喙芦荟藓（A. brevirostris (Hook. & Grev.) Kindb.）为先锋优势种。发育稳定的生物结皮（15 a）鉴定出苔藓植物2 科8 属13 种。其中,丛藓科占6 属8 种,以对齿藓属（Didymodon）的尖叶对齿藓（D. constrictus (Mitt.) Saito）、黑对齿藓（D. nigrescens (Mitt.) Saito）、硬叶对齿藓尖叶变种（D. rigidulus Headw. var. ditrichoides (Hedw.) Zand.）所占种数最多。不同阶段的藓结皮均有藻类伴生,发育初期（<6 a）的藓结皮中鉴定出藻类植物26 科35 属50 种。③水热同期的雨季是生物结皮形成的关键时期。发育2 a 的生物结皮厚度达到6.3 mm,超过稳定结皮厚度（9.8~11.8 mm）的50%,抗剪强度约30 kPa。发育初期（<6 a）,容重无明显变化（1.40~1.43 g·cm^-3）,发育稳定（15 a）后容重下降到1.0~1.3 g·cm^-3。该区生物结皮的形成过程同荒漠区类似,但表现出发育速度快、稳定周期短的特点;藻类、苔藓组成及其优势种[坑形细鞘丝藻（Leptolyngbya foveolara）、尖叶对齿藓]与荒漠区明显不同。     

深圳市PM2.5 化学组成与时空分布特征

于2008-12-30～2009-12-25,在深圳市宝安区、罗湖区和盐田区各设置一个采样点采集大气细粒子PM2.5,分析了PM2.5中主要的水溶性离子组分、有机碳和元素碳,同时结合气象条件,对深圳市PM2.5的化学组成及时空分布特征进行了研究.结果表明,深圳市PM2.5污染总体上呈现西高东低的空间分布特点,但是SO24-和NH4+的空间差异不大,说明深圳PM2.5污染具有明显的区域传输特征.OC/EC值自西向东逐渐升高,说明深圳西部地区受一次源排放影响更为显著.受亚热带海洋性季风气候的影响,深圳市PM2.5总体污染程度表现为秋冬高、夏春低的特点,各主要组分的质量浓度变化也均有类似的特征.与2004年深圳的类似观测结果比较发现,该地区脱硫措施显著降低了PM2.5中硫酸盐浓度,而机动车尾气对PM2.5的贡献变得更加重要.

沈阳市降水化学成分及来源分析

沈阳市2007年降水样品化学组分研究表明,该区降水pH值在4.89～8.02之间,雨量加权平均值为6.89,与杭州等南方地区相比,沈阳降水中离子浓度比较高,但降水的酸化程度和酸化频率却不高,表明沈阳市整体上降水没有呈现酸化,主要是碱性离子的中和作用.SO24-和Cl-是主要的阴离子,雨量加权平均值为330.00μeq·L-1和85.05μeq·L-1,分别占阴离子总量的60.32%和15.55%;Ca2+和NH4+是主要的阳离子,雨量加权平均值为291.17μeq·L-1和175.13μeq·L-1,分别占阳离子总量的49.51%和29.78%.季节变化特征研究表明离子浓度变化呈现秋冬高,春夏低的状态.NF计算结果表明NH4+和Ca2+具有较强的中和能力,而Mg2+和K+的中和能力比较小,相较于NH4+和Ca2+几乎可以忽略不计.利用富集系数法计算表明,SO24-和NO3-主要来源于人为输入,Cl-主要为海洋输入,NH4+和K+主要来源于土壤和人为活动的输入.
