Soil enzymatic activities and microbial community structure with di erent application rates of Cd and Pb

This study focused on the changes of soil microbial diversity and potential inhibitory effects of heavy metals on soil enzymatic activities at different application rates of Cd andor Pb. The soil used for experiments was collected from Beijing and classified as endoaquepts. Pots containing 500 g of the soil with different Cd andor Pb application rates were incubated for a period of 0, 2, 9, 12 weeks in a glasshouse and the soil samples were analyzed for individual enzymes, including catalase, alkaline phosphatase and dehydrogenase, and the changes of microbial community structure. Results showed that heavy metals slightly inhibited the enzymatic activities in all the samples spiked with heavy metals. The extent of inhibition increased significantly with increasing level of heavy metals, and varied with the incubation periods. The soil bacterial community structure, as determined by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis techniques, was different in the contaminated samples as compared to the control. The highest community change was observed in the samples amended with high level of Cd. Positive correlations were observed among the three enzymatic activities, but negative correlations were found between the amounts of the heavy metals and the enzymatic activities.     

Immobilization of activated sludge using improved polyvinyl alcohol （PVA） gel

The microbial immobilization method using polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)gel as an immobilizing material was improved and used for entrapment of activated sludge.The oxygen uptake rate(OUR)was used to characterize the biological activity of immobilized activated sludge.Three kinds of PVA-immobilized particles of activated sludge,that is,PVA-boric acid beads,PVA-sodium nitrate beads and PVA-orthophosphate beads were prepared,and their biological activity was compared by measuring the OUR value.The bioactivity of both autotrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms of activated sludge was determined using different synthetic wastewater media (containing 250 mg/L COD and 25 mg/L NH_4~ -N).The experimental results showed that the bioactivity and stability of the three kinds of immobilized activated sludge was greatly improved after activation.With respect of the bioactivity and the mechanical stability,the PVA-orthophosphate method may be a promising and economical technique for microbial immobilization.     

COVID-19管控前后不同污染阶段PM2.5中二次无机离子变化特征

为探讨新冠肺炎疫情(COVID-19)管控前后不同污染阶段PM_2.5中二次无机离子变化特征,使用高分辨率(1 h)在线仪器对2019年12月15日至2020年2月15日郑州冬季气象、污染气体浓度和PM_2.5中水溶性离子水平进行在线监测,分析此次COVID-19管控前后霾过程的成因、大气污染物的日变化特征和在霾不同阶段下大气污染物的分布特征.结果表明,郑州主要受到高压脊控制,天气形势稳定,有利于大气污染物累积,二次无机气溶胶(SNA,包括SO₄^2-、NO^-₃和NH⁺₄)是水溶性离子的主要组分,占比高达90%以上,COVID-19期间居家隔离措施对霾不同阶段下大气污染物的分布特征产生不同的影响,COVID-19期间PM_2.5在干净、发生和消散阶段的浓度比COVID-19前有所提高,但是发展阶段明显降低,居家隔离明显使PM_2.5高值降低了;NO₂、SO<...     

影响浑太河流域大型底栖动物群落结构的环境因子分析

于2012年5~6月对浑太河流域66个采样点的大型底栖动物进行调查采样.共采集到大型底栖动物72(属)种,其中水生昆虫51(属)种,占70.83%,环节动物7(属)种,占9.72%;节肢动物(属)4种,占5.56%;软体动物(属)10种,占13.89%.首先,采用相关分析从6类28个候选指标中筛选出EPT分类单元数、优势分类单元个体相对丰度、蜉蝣目相对丰度、毛翅目相对丰度、软体动物相对丰度、扁蜉科/蜉蝣目相对丰度、纹石蛾科/毛翅目相对丰度、寡毛类动物相对丰度、敏感类群相对丰度、耐污类群相对丰度、收集者相对丰度、黏附者相对丰度、香农-威纳多样性指数共13个指标用于表征浑太河流域大型底栖动物群落结构特征.然后,利用RDA方法分析了自然环境因子和反映人类活动压力的环境因子对大型底栖动物空间分异的影响.利用偏冗余分析(pRDA)比较了自然环境因子与人类活动压力因子对底栖动物群落结构影响的大小,以及流域、河岸缓冲区和河段尺度人类活动压力因子对大型底栖动物的影响.结果表明,所有环境因子可解释底栖动物群落结构空间变异的72.23%.纳入分析的人类活动压力因子解释了底栖动物群落结构空间变异的48.9%,纳入分析的自然环境因子解释了底栖动物群落结构空间变异的11.8%.河段尺度人类活动压力因子对底栖动物群落结构空间分异影响最显著.河段尺度人类活动压力因子可解释底栖动物群落结构空间分异的35.3%,其中,显著环境因子p H、栖息地质量、总氮、高锰酸盐指数、硬度、电导率、总溶解颗粒物和氨氮分别解释了4%、3.6%、1.8%、1.7%、1.7%、0.9%、0.9%和0.9%的底栖动物群落结构空间分异.河岸缓冲区和流域尺度土地利用对大型底栖动物空间分异的贡献分别为10%和7%.最后,采用相关分析比较了流域和河岸缓冲区尺度土地利用与水质、水文、栖息地质量以及底质的关系,结果表明流域尺度土地利用能更好地表征河流水质、水文、栖息地质量以及底质状况,也说明不同尺度环境因子对大型底栖动物群落结构的影响有联合效应.     

杭州秋季大气VOCs变化特征及化学反应活性研究

2017年9月1日至11月30日采用Syntech Spectras GC955在线气相色谱仪对杭州市不同功能区大气环境中的挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)进行了在线连续监测,分析了不同功能区VOCs及各组分的体积分数、日变化规律及大气化学反应活性。结果显示,下沙周边工业区总VOCs浓度整体高于朝晖周边居民区,其中夜间更为显著。烷烃和芳香烃浓度在夜间时段工业区较居民区高得更为明显,其中芳香烃组分表现尤为突出,2个功能区烯烃体积分数相差不大。杭州市主要VOCs体积分数总体上在国内处于中间水平。不同功能区烷烃和芳香烃均呈现夜间浓度高于白天的日变化特征,居民区各VOCs组分日变化基本呈现双峰结构,工业区烷烃和芳香烃体积分数日变化呈现单峰结构,烯烃体积分数没有明显的日变化特征。不同功能区中芳香烃对臭氧生成潜势贡献最大,烯烃次之,烷烃贡献最小。下沙周边工业区大气化学活性(尤其是芳香烃组分)较朝晖周边居民区强。同种VOCs物质在不同功能区对臭氧生成潜势的贡献大小不同,但关键贡献物质均为低碳烷烃、低碳烯烃及苯系物。
