The Exploitation and Environmental Legacy of Amphibole Asbestos : A Late 20th Century Overview

The risk to human health associated with the inhalation of amphibole asbestos has become devastatingly ap- parent this century. The most commonly utilised asbestiform amphiboles, crocidolite (blue asbestos) and amosite (brown asbestos), are implicated in a variety of diseases related to cell damage within the respiratory tract and adjacent areas. Blue and brown asbestos fibres have a morphology and mineralogy which makes them more biopersistent and biochemically reactive than chrysotile (white asbestos). The long-term pres- ence of such fibres within and around the lungs can result in fibrous scarring, lung cancer, and is the major cause of the once extremely rare tumour known as diffuse malignant mesothelioma. Therefore, despite the fact that asbestiformamphiboles comprise approximately 5%of industrially utilised asbestos (the rest being chrysotile), they have been disproportionately pathogenic. Almost all amphibole asbestos sold on the world market was mined from Palaeoproterozoic ironstones in either the northern Cape Province (blue) or Trans- vaal (brown and blue) areas in South Africa. Production peaked from 1966–1978 when around 2 million tons of crocidolite and1million tons of amosite were produced and exported to be used mainly in asbestos-based cement products and many types of building materials. Crocidolite mixed with chrysotile was commonly used in pressure pipes and gaskets, whereas amosite mixed with chrysotile was especially suitable for gut- ters, roofing, and insulation boards. Amid- to late 20th century amphibole asbestos-related cancer epidemic has consequently struck not only mining and milling communities in producer countries, but many groups of workers (and their relatives and neighbours) exposed to amphibole asbestos-bearing materials in importer countries. Although belated closure and reparation of the mines and imposition of threshold safety limits in the workplace will eventually stem this epidemic the death toll has not yet peaked. Given the long latency period (decades) typical of mesothelioma and bronchogenic carcinoma and the fact that amphibole asbes- tos-bearing materials are still present in some buildings, asbestos-related cancer will inevitably continue to be a major cause of death in many countries worldwide well into the next century.     

Mapping Grazing-Induced Degradation in a Semi-Arid Environment: A Rapid and Cost Effective Approach for Assessment and Monitoring

Improved techniques for measuring and monitoring the state of biodiversity are required for reporting on national obligations to international and regional conservation institutions. Measuring the extent of grazing-related degradation in semi-arid ecosystems has proved difficult. Here we present an accurate and cost-effective method for doing this, and apply it in a South African semi-arid region that forms part of a globally significant biodiversity hotspot. We grouped structurally and functionally similar vegetation units, which were expert-mapped at the 1:50,000 scale, into four habitat types, and developed habitat-specific degradation models. We quantified degradation into three categories, using differences between dry and wet season values of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for the three succulent karoo habitats, and the difference between maximum and mean NDVI values for the subtropical thicket habitat. Field evaluation revealed an accuracy of 86%. Overall, degradation was high: 24% of the study area was modeled as severely degraded, and only 9% as intact. Levels of degradation were highest for bottomland habitats that were most exposed to grazing impacts. In sharp contrast to our methods, a widely used, broad-scale and snapshot assessment of land cover in South Africa was only 33% accurate, and it considerably underestimated the extent of severely degraded habitat in the study area. While our approach requires a multidisciplinary team, and in particular expert knowledge on the characteristics and spatial delimitation of vegetation types, it is repeatable, rapid, and relatively inexpensive. Consequently, it holds great promise for monitoring and evaluation programs in semi-arid ecosystems, in Africa, and beyond.     

Organochlorine contaminants in albatrosses and petrels during migration in South Atlantic Ocean

Albatrosses and petrels (Procellariiformes) are migratory oceanic birds of considerable conservational interest. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were assessed in the subcutaneous fat, liver and muscle of 100 birds belonging to eight species of Procellariiformes collected during their migration period in southern Brazil, one of the most important feeding areas for these species. Although the profiles of PCBs and OCPs were similar among the individuals, with predominance of penta, hexa and heptachlorobiphenyls and p′p-DDE, organochlorine concentrations exhibited a high degree of intra-species variability. The influence of body condition during the migration period in the distribution of organochlorine contaminants was also evaluated, showing that it is a significant factor in the variation and redistribution of these compounds in the tissues of these birds. The intense use of lipid reserves associated to the contamination from organochlorine compounds could be a troubling factor for seabirds with extended breeding periods and that spend most of their lives at sea migrating long distances, such as most of Procellariiformes. Studies on contamination are necessary to improve the knowledge of the threats to these birds and their populations as well as to contribute with information about persistent organic pollutants in the South Atlantic marine environment.     

Estimation of the annual scavenged amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by forests in the Pearl River Delta of Southern China

Leaves of six main tree species from the Pearl River Delta (PRD) in Southern China were collected to identify the interspecific variability, the spatial variability and the seasonal variations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons' (PAHs) concentrations, and to calculate the amount of PAHs removed by leaves. PAHs concentrations in pine needles were much higher than in broad-leaves and leaves from urban/industrial areas (Baiyunshan and Heshan) exhibited two times greater concentrations than leaves from the rural area (Dinghushan). Seasonal variations of PAHs in leaves occurred with lesser concentrations in September. Leaves in PRD scavenged 3.7 ± 0.9 t PAHs y⁻¹, accounting for about 10% of the total amount emitted in this region. This result suggests that forests play an important role in the fate of PAHs.

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.

基于灾害风险分析的原理,论文提出了我国几种主要农业气象灾害风险评估的技术方法。包括一年生农作物、多年生果树减产率序列的构建技术,不同致灾因子、致灾指标序列的构建技术,灾害风险估算模型的构建技术;致灾损失(减产率)的风险评估技术,致灾指标的风险评估技术,减灾措施降低灾害风险的评估技术。通过对1961～2000年逐日气象资料与产量、灾情资料的相关分析研究,筛选出适用于北方地区冬小麦干旱、东北地区玉米和水稻冷害、江淮地区冬小麦和油菜涝渍、华南地区香蕉和荔枝寒害风险评估的主要致灾因子、致灾等级、致灾指标及其对应的减产率。以北方地区冬小麦干旱、华南地区香蕉和荔枝寒害风险评估为例,给出了针对一年生农作物、多年生果树不同承灾体类型的风险概率估算方法及其风险等级划分。结果表明:北方地区冬小麦干旱、华南地区香蕉和荔枝寒害风险概率分布有着很好的连片性和区域性。北方地区冬小麦全生育期内,自然水分亏缺的风险概率很高,随着灌溉次数的增加,缺水率的风险概率逐渐降低。一般在轻旱年灌水1～2次、中旱年灌水2～3次、重旱年灌水3次之后,大部分地区都能基本满足冬小麦的需水要求,缺水率出现的概率已经很小。     

夏季南海北部典型中尺度物理过程对营养盐及溶解氧分布特征的影响

依据2011年8月24日—9月5日对南海北部海域的现场调查,分析了涡旋这一典型中尺度物理过程对营养盐(NO-3-N,PO3-4-P,SiO2-3-Si)及溶解氧分布特征的影响.结果表明,夏季南海北部营养盐及溶解氧的分布受中尺度海洋过程的影响显著.在水平分布上,各项营养盐基本呈现近海高远海低的分布特征.东沙群岛附近海域由于受反气旋型涡旋的影响,反气旋型涡旋将珠江口水推至外海,使得东沙群岛附近海域呈现明显的高N、Si,低P的珠江口水特征.在断面分布上,位于珠江口附近海域的B、C断面营养盐浓度水平较低,表层低浓度营养盐向下扩张明显,营养盐浓度等深线也明显下移,其可能受到反气旋型涡旋中心区域的影响;而位于海南岛附近海域的D、F断面,底层低温高盐海水不断向上涌升,可能受到反气旋型涡旋边缘的影响,使得表层海水受到富含高浓度营养盐的底层海水的补充,为表层浮游植物的生长提供了丰富的物质基础.位于广东沿岸附近海域的A断面及东沙群岛附近海域的E断面则受季节性上升流的影响大于反气旋型涡旋的影响,表现出明显的低温、高盐、高P、低溶解氧的上升流特征.
