Dynamics of major air pollutants from crop residue burning in mainland China, 2000–2014

Based on satellite image data and China's Statistical Yearbooks(2000 to 2014), we estimated the total mass of crop residue burned, and the proportion of residue burned in the field vs.indoors as domestic fuel. The total emissions of various pollutants from the burning of crop residue were estimated for 2000-2014 using the emission factor method. The results indicate that the total amount of crop residue and average burned mass were 8690.9 Tg and4914.6 Tg, respectively. The total amount of emitted pollutants including CO_2, CO, NOx,VOCs, PM_(2.5), OC(organic carbon), EC(element carbon) and TC(total carbon) were 4212.4–8440.9 Tg, 192.8–579.4 Tg, 4.8–19.4 Tg, 18.6–61.3 Tg, 18.8–49.7 Tg, 6.7–31.3 Tg, 2.3–4.7 Tg, and8.5–34.1 Tg, respectively. The emissions of pollutants released from crop residue burning were found to be spatially variable, with the burning of crop residue mainly occurring in Northeast, North and South China. In addition, pollutant emissions per unit area(10 km ×10 km) were mostly concentrated in the central and eastern regions of China. Emissions of CO_2, NOx, VOCs, OC and TC were mainly from rice straw burning, while burning of corn and wheat residues contributed most to emissions of CO, PM_(2.5) and EC. The increased ratio of PM_(2.5) emissions from crop residue burning to the total emitted from industry during the study period is attributed to the implementation of strict emissions management policies in Chinese industry. This study also provides baseline data for assessment of the regional atmospheric environment.     

山区高速公路空间郁闭度对驾驶员视觉及生理指标的影响

为了解高速公路空间郁闭度对驾驶员视觉行为和心理状态的影响规律,在山区高速公路开展室外实车试验,采用Dikablis眼镜式眼动仪和Varioport生理记录仪记录了驾驶员的眼动和生理数据,包括注视时间百分比、平均注视时间、扫视幅度、眨眼率、心电、心率、皮电等。结果表明,随空间郁闭度增加,驾驶员皮电和扫视幅度增大,眨眼率和平均注视持续时间减小,视点越来越集中。随着驾驶员的逐渐适应,空间环境对驾驶员的心理影响逐渐减弱。驾驶员主要关注中间靠左区域,目标物为中央分隔带和前方道路。开敞空间下驾驶员对右侧区域有少量关注。半郁闭空间下驾驶员皮电呈现规律性的波动,对于左侧区域的关注明显增多,对右侧区域的注视持续时间较长,视点集中点更远。

西安市PM_(2.5)的时空分布特征研究

大气污染物PM_(2.5)对空气质量造成严重危害,威胁着人类健康。根据西安市13个监测区2013年1月1日—4月26日的PM_(2.5)质量浓度数据,得出西安市PM_(2.5)的浓度呈冬季高、春季低的特点。结合西安市的海拔数据、气象资料,并引入污染系数,分析得出了西安市13个监测区PM_(2.5)的浓度有以下规律:从西到东递减;分布与海拔高度和风向特点相一致;与平均温度、最高温度、最低温度均呈现负相关关系,但相关性不是很高。这为PM_(2.5)的针对性治理工作提供了理论指导。     

松花江干流PAHs的底泥-水交换行为及时空异质性

为了解松花江干流底泥和水体中PAHs(多环芳烃)的环境分布行为,应用逸度方法研究了松花江中PAHs的底泥-水交换行为及时空异质性特征. 结果表明:K_OW(辛醇-水分配系数)影响PAHs的底泥-水交换行为,并与底泥-水交换的f_f(逸度分数)呈显著负相关(R=-0.801,P=0.000),而f_f与PAHs的溶解度则呈正相关(R=0.499,P<0.05);高环PAHs的底泥-水交换行为受w(OC)变化的影响较为强烈,w(OC)每提高0.10%,2~6环PAHs的f_f降低0.7%~11.0%;春季PAHs的底泥-水交换的f_f大于夏季. 低环的Nap(萘)表现出明显的由底泥向水体的迁移行为,Phe(菲)和FlA(荧蒽)几乎接近于平衡状态,而高环的BaP(苯并芘)和BgP(苯并苝)则相反. 夏季PAHs的大气传输及本地排放源的沉降,可能为松花江干流PAHs的主要来源;汇入支流的输入可视为主干河流水体中污染物的另一来源. 水体中2~4环PAHs处于中等变异,5~6环PAHs则表现为强变异;底泥中3~4环PAHs处于中等变异,而其他环数PAHs则呈强变异. 从季节性变化来看,夏季底泥中PAHs的CV(变异系数)相对较大,而春季水体中PAHs的CV则略大于夏季. 研究显示,PAHs物理化学性质的差异,水体中悬浮颗粒物和底泥中w(OC),以及外源性PAHs的输入,均会使不同环数PAHs在水体和底泥中的CV产生较大差异.      

垂直流湿地基质中酶的分布与氮磷及有机质的关系

为了解垂直流人工湿地基质中酶的空间分布特点及其与基质中氮磷和有机质的关系,采用垂直流人工湿地微宇宙试验系统进行了为期4个月的运行试验,分析种植植物的皇竹草系统和不种植物的对照系统基质中不同深度层酶活性的变化,以及酶活性与基质中污染物的关系. 结果表明:脲酶、磷酸酶、过氧化氢酶、转化酶、蛋白酶和纤维素酶这6种酶的活性在上层(0~<10 cm)的分布特点相一致,即皇竹草系统基质中的酶活性显著高于对照系统(P＜0.05). 在垂直方向上,两个系统中6种酶的活性都表现为上层显著较高,这与基质中w(TN)、w(TP)和w(有机质)的分布规律相一致;Pearson相关性分析发现,脲酶活性与w(TN)、w(TP)、w(有机质)均呈极显著正相关(相关系数依次为0.951、0.970、0.933,P均小于0.01),过氧化氢酶、转化酶活性均与w(TN)呈极显著正相关(相关系数依次为0.997、0.916,P均小于0.01),磷酸酶活性与w(TP)、w(有机质)均呈极显著正相关(相关系数依次为0.925、0.919,P均小于0.01),转化酶活性与w(TP)呈显著相关(相关系数为0.869,P<0.05),纤维素酶活性与w(有机质)呈显著相关(相关系数为0.864,P<0.05). 研究显示,在垂直流人工湿地系统中种植皇竹草有助于提高基质中酶的活性,酶活性与氮磷及有机质等污染物的积累和迁移密切相关.      

水坝建设影响下澜沧江中游沉积物重金属形态分析及污染指数研究

采集了漫湾库区和大朝山库区25个采样断面的沉积物样品.每个库区均从上游到下游分为河流区、过渡区和湖泊区,研究了沉积物中As、Cd、Cr、Cu、Mn、Ni、Pb、Zn元素的含量和赋存形态差异,利用次生相与原生相分布比值法(RSP)分析重金属元素的污染水平.结果表明,各库区从上游到下游沉积物中的重金属元素和碳氮元素均呈现出增加的趋势,而沉积物的中值粒径呈现出减小的趋势.漫湾库区的As、Cd、Zn元素平均含量均高于大朝山库区;大朝山库区的Cr、Mn、Ni、Pb元素平均含量均高于漫湾库区.在重金属赋存形态中,Cd和Mn元素以可交换态和残渣态为主;Cu、Pb以有机质态和残渣态为主;其余重金属元素均以残渣态为主.沉积物中的可交换态在有机碳的络合作用下转化成有机质态.在水坝建设的影响下沉积物中细颗粒和有机质含量明显上升,重金属在细颗粒物和有机质的共同作用下蓄积于坝前的沉积物中.PSR分析结果表明,在水坝运行影响下,各库区湖泊区和过渡区的污染水平均高于河流区.其中,Cd元素所有地区处于重度污染水平;Mn和Pb大部分区域处于中度污染水平;Cu元素大部分区域处于轻度污染水平;其余元素基本无污染.

收集海河流域重点水功能区主要监测站点2000—2011年总氮(TN)、氨氮(NH+4-N)、硝氮(NO-3-N)、亚硝氮(NO-2-N)指标的历史数据,并且实测2009年350个样点的氮素指标,以探明海河流域河流氮污染特征及其演变趋势.结果表明,海河流域氮污染现状严重,2011年TN、NH+4-N、NO-3-N和NO-2-N的平均浓度分别为7.92、4.25、1.28、0.013 mg·L-1,TN、NH+4-N超地表水V类水质标准现象严重(2.0 mg·L-1),其中海河干流水系、北三河(北运河、潮白河、蓟运河)水系和子牙河水系污染较重.在空间尺度上,海河流域氮污染沿山区-平原方向呈现出明显逐渐上升的变化特征.在时间尺度上,TN与NH+4-N浓度变化均在2005年与2011年出现峰值,TN浓度与NH+4-N、NO-3-N、NO-2-N浓度呈现极显著正相关(p0.01),NH+4-N是海河流域氮污染的主要污染因子.2000—2011年,NH+4-N劣V类(2.0 mg·L-1)站点比例整体上表现为减少趋势,由2000年的28.87%降为2011年的17.56%,劣V类站点NH+4-N浓度均值由2000年的7.91 mg·L-1降为2011年的6.50mg·L-1.在海河流域中,黑龙港运东水系、子牙河水系河流NH+4-N污染较重,各年平均浓度均超过地表水V类水质标准,NH+4-N平均浓度呈现随年份逐渐降低的趋势.在海河流域氮污染整体表现为好转的趋势下,氮污染的现状仍然严峻,需加强控制.     

Being trusted: How team generational age diversity promotes and undermines trust in cross‐boundary relationships

We examine how demographic context influences the trust that boundary spanners experience in their dyadic relationships with clients. Because of the salience of age as a demographic characteristic as well as the increasing prevalence of age diversity and intergenerational conflict in the workplace, we focus on team age diversity as a demographic social context that affects trust between boundary spanners and their clients. Using social categorization theory and theories of social capital, we develop and test our contextual argument that a boundary spanner's experience of being trusted is influenced by the social categorization processes that occur in dyadic interactions with a specific client and, simultaneously, by similar social categorization processes that influence the degree to which the client team as a whole serves as a cooperative resource for demographically similar versus dissimilar boundary spanner–client dyads. Using a sample of 168 senior boundary spanners from the consulting industry, we find that generational diversity among client team members from a client organization undermines the perception of being trusted within homogeneous boundary spanner–client dyads while it enhances the perception of being trusted within heterogeneous dyads. The perception of being trusted is an important aspect of cross‐boundary relationships because it influences coordination and the costs associated with coordination. © 2015 The Author Journal of Organizational Behavior Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd     

Juggling work and family responsibilities when involuntarily working more from home: A multiwave study of financial sales professionals

Using multiwave survey data collected among 251 financial sales professionals, we tested whether involuntarily working more from home (teleworking) was related to higher time‐based and strain‐based work‐to‐family conflict (WFC). Employees' boundary management strategy (integration vs. segmentation) and work–family balance self‐efficacy were considered as moderators of these relationships. Data were collected one month before, three months after, and 12 months after the implementation of a new cost‐saving policy that eliminated employees' access to office space in a centralized work location. The policy resulted in employees being forced to work more from home. A voluntary telework program had been in effect before the new policy, implying that working more from home as a result of the new policy was involuntary in nature. Results revealed that involuntarily working more from home was associated with higher strain‐based WFC but not higher time‐based WFC. However, moderator analyses revealed that the positive association between involuntarily working more from home and both types of WFC was significantly stronger among employees with weaker self‐efficacy in balancing work and family. Boundary management strategy had no detectable moderating effect. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
