水环境中的灰色水质风险研究

在灰色系统理论中定义了一个白化度用来描述水质风险，并作了实例研究，将结果与概率风险进行了比较分析。研究表明，用两种方法研究的风险呈现了较一致的变化趋势，因此，用灰色系统理论研究水质风险具有一定的可行性。     

进出料频率对牛粪两相厌氧发酵特性的影响

以牛粪为发酵原料,在中温(35±2)℃的条件下,采用自行设计的两相厌氧发酵中试装置,在水力停留时间确定的前提下,酸化原料分别以每天、间隔1 d和间隔2 d 3种不同进出料频率加入产甲烷罐,观察挥发性固体(VS)产气率和甲烷含量的变化情况。实验结果表明:保持产酸相与产甲烷相水力停留时间(HRT)分别为3 d和17 d,每天进出料产气效果最佳,原料VS产气率和甲烷含量最大值分别为0.29 m3/(kg·VS)和58.36%。     

大宝山矿区水体和沉积物中重金属的污染评价

分别于丰水期和枯水期对广东省大宝山矿区铁龙拦泥坝至凉桥河段水体中溶解态的重金属进行了调查,应用EPA推荐的健康风险评价模型发现,水体中非致癌物通过饮水途径所导致平均个人年风险排列顺序是Cu〉Pb〉Zn,最大值的平均个人年风险在丰水期和枯水期的平均值分别是2.14×10-7 a-1和4.13×10-7 a-1,小于国际防辐射委员会（ICRP）推荐的最大可接受平均个人年风险5.0×10-5a-1。致癌物Cd的平均个人年风险在丰水期和枯水期的平均值分别是3.52×10-4 a-1和4.53×10-4 a-1,大于ICRP推荐的最大可接受值,同时也大于非致癌物3～4个数量级。另外,通过对枯水期沉积物的重金属总量分析,发现凉桥槽对坑支流受水体pH的影响,导致其沉积物重金属的浓度最高。根据Long和Macdonald利用生物效应数据库法建立的沉积物质量基准,发现除冷水泾外,其他采样点的平均效应中值指数（mERMQ）值都大于1.5,可见沉积物中的重金属会对当地底栖生物产生毒害作用。     

唐家河自然保护区植被景观梯度变化及其成因

以ETM 影像数据为基础,利用景观分析软件Fragstats对唐家河自然保护区植被景观分别从东西、南北、西北至东南3个方向进行空间梯度分析.结果表明,沿东西方向,景观多样性呈现"升-降-升"的波动变化趋势,破碎化程度与复杂度降低;沿北南方向,景观多样性、复杂度以及连接度逐渐下降,但破碎度增加,形状趋于复杂;沿西北至东南方向,景观多样性与复杂度均表现出"降-升-降-升"的波动变化趋势;在西北部至中部斑块邻近度相对较高,变化较为明显;而东南部相对较低,变化幅度小.唐家河自然保护区所处的自然条件是其景观格局梯度变化形成的主要原因和先决条件,植物群落的空间格局明显受水文地貌特征的控制.     

Carbon/nitrogen ratio as a major factor for predicting the effects of organic wastes on soil bacterial communities assessed by DNA-based molecular techniques

Background, aim, and scope  

Current Australian legislation permits the beneficial application of grease trap waste (GTW) to agricultural soil, viewing it as a beneficial source of organic matter and soil conditioner containing no/low amounts of metals or pathogenic organisms. However, little is known about the influence of GTW on soil bacterial community. A field experiment was established at Menangle in south western Sydney in Australia to quantitatively assess the impacts of different types (GTW CO and GTW CL) and amounts of GTW application on the soil bacterial community and diversity. Furthermore, a municipal solid waste (MSW) compost was simultaneously examined to compare against the other organic wastes. Knowledge about the shifts in microbial community structure and diversity following the applications of organic wastes could help to evaluate the ecological consequences on the soil and thus to develop sound regulatory guidelines for the beneficial reuse of organic wastes in agricultural lands.     

Chemical characterization of fine particles from on-road vehicles in the Wutong tunnel in Shenzhen, China

Vehicle populations in China have been increasing sharply since 1990s. Vehicle emissions including various gaseous pollutants and particulate matter cause deterioration of air quality. However, measurements of particulate mater from on-road vehicles in China are scarcely reported, and thus the chemical compositions of particles emitted from vehicles in China are unknown. In this research, tunnel experiments were performed to measure PM2.5 in the Wutong tunnel, Shenzhen, China. Detailed PM2.5 chemical compositions, with organic compounds determined by GC/MS, in the tunnel were presented. Elemental carbon and organic matter composed 63% and 34% of the total PM2.5 mass in the Wutong tunnel, respectively. Alkanes, PAHs, hopanes, fatty acids, and dicarboxylic acids were the major identified organic compounds, and their source profiles in the PM2.5 in the Wutong tunnel were characterized. The comparisons of our measurements with those in the literature were also made to demonstrate the characteristics of the vehicle source profiles in the Wutong tunnel. The experimental results in this paper can improve understanding of particulate matter emitted from vehicles in China.
