An intercomparison of ozone taken from the Copernicus atmosphere monitoring service and the second Modern-Era retrospective analysis for research and applications over China during 2018 and 2019

Spatiotemporal variations of ozone (O₃) taken from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) and the second Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA-2) were intercompared and evaluated with ground and ozone-sonde observations over China in 2018 and 2019. Intercomparison of the surface ozone from CAMS and MERRA-2 reanalysis showed significant negative bias (CAMS minus MERRA-2, same below) at Tibetan Plateau of up to 80 µg/m³, and the average R² was about 0.6 across China. Evaluated with the ground observations from China National Environmental Monitoring Center (CNEMC), we found that CAMS and MERRA-2 reanalysis were capable of capturing the key patterns of monthly and diurnal variations of surface ozone over China except for the western region, and MERRA-2 overestimated the observations compared to CAMS. Vertically, the CAMS profiles overestimated the ozone-sonde from the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Center (WOUDC) above 200 hPa with the magnitude reaching up to 150 µg/m³, while little bias was found between the reanalysis and observations below 200 hPa. Intercomparison drawn from the vertical distribution between CAMS and MERRA-2 reanalysis showed that the negative bias appeared throughout the troposphere over China, while the positive bias emerged in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) with high order of magnitude exceeding 100 µg/m³, indicating large uncertainties at higher altitudes. In summary, we concluded that CAMS reanalysis showed better agreement with the observations in contrast to MERRA-2, and the large discrepancy especially at higher altitudes between these two reanalysis datasets could not be ignored.     

普者黑岩溶湿地干湿季沉积物氮、磷、有机质分布及污染风险评价

探究典型岩溶湿地沉积物营养物质的污染状况及其富营养化风险,以期为岩溶湿地水-沉积物污染的控制与治理提供参考和依据.以典型岩溶流域普者黑为研究区,运用抓斗式底泥采样器对流域内河流湿地、湖泊湿地、沼泽湿地和库塘湿地的表层沉积物进行采样,并采用国家标准方法对沉积物中总氮（TN）、总磷（TP）及有机质（OM）的含量进行测定,并运用单因子指数法、有机指数法及有机氮指数法对普者黑岩溶流域不同类型湿地沉积物的污染程度进行评价.结果表明：①在干季,河流湿地TP含量最高,为1.18 g·kg^-1,沼泽湿地TN和OM含量最高,分别为2.93、2.71 g·kg^-1;库塘湿地TN、TP和OM含量最低,分别为1.44、0.63、1.43 g·kg^-1.在湿季,河流湿地TP和OM含量最高,分别为0.95、2.16 g·kg^-1,湖泊湿地TN含量最高,为2.22 g·kg^-1;沼泽湿地TP和OM含量最低,分别为0.42、1.28 g·kg^-1,库塘湿地TN含量最低,为1.22 g·kg^-1.②普者黑不同类型湿地沉积物TN、TP、OM在干、湿季下的污染程度不同.在干季,河流湿地和沼泽湿地沉积物磷污染均为重度污染,4种湿地沉积物氮污染均为重度污染,有机污染除库塘湿地属于轻度污染外,其他3种湿地均为中度污染.在湿季,河流湿地沉积物磷污染为重度污染,河流湿地和湖泊湿地沉积物氮污染均为重度污染,湖泊湿地沉积物有机污染属于重度污染.总体上看,各类湿地沉积物氮磷污染干季的污染程度比湿季严重,干季以外源为主,湿季以内源为主;故干季湿地沉积物营养盐潜在释放风险较湿季大.     

不同铅暴露区人体离体牙铅含量和年龄关系及指示意义

人体牙釉质是记录环境铅(Pb)暴露信息的较好载体。本研究采用微波消解-电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(ICP-MS)联用的方法测定来自高Pb暴露区(铅锌冶炼厂地区)和Pb暴露对照区(农业种植区)附近长期居住 /不同年龄段人体离体牙的Pb含量,结果显示：高Pb暴露区离体牙表现出Pb含量高且随居民年龄增长而增高的趋势,离体牙Pb含量从6—12岁儿童的(60.8±15.3) μg·g^-1增加到65岁以上老年人的(200.1±30.5) μg·g^-1;而铅暴露对照区人体离体牙Pb含量低且基本随年龄增长变化不大。Pb主要通过呼吸道和消化道进入人体并在牙齿中富集,因此,牙齿中的Pb含量与生活环境密切相关。研究结果表明：生活在高Pb暴露区的人群,环境中的Pb可能通过各种介质(空气、水、实物等)不断进入人体,其牙齿不断蓄积环境来源的Pb。因此人体离体牙Pb有可能作为人体长期Pb暴露生物标志物。

宝鸡市中小学校园室内外灰尘铅暴露及评价

城市街道灰尘中重金属铅是血铅的一个重要的潜在污染源,由于校园学生过于集中,校园室内外灰尘的重金属铅对学生身体健康影响尤为严重。本文选择宝鸡市代表性区域的中小学校园,包括市区、郊区城镇、农村及铅锌冶炼厂区域室内外灰尘为研究对象,在对灰尘中铅含量测试的基础上,采用潜在生态危害指数法和地积累指数法对灰尘中铅污染进行对比评价。研究结果表明：宝鸡市中小学校园室内外灰尘重金属铅含量总体均较高,显著高于国内外城市灰尘中铅的含量,是陕西省表层土壤铅背景值（21.4 mg?kg^?1）的10—154倍。除农村灰尘铅含量稍微低一些,其他地区灰尘铅含量均达到陕西表层土壤背景值的30倍以上。市区灰尘的铅含量比十年前的408.41 mg?kg^?1增加了约40%。铅锌冶炼厂周围的灰尘铅含量和前人的研究数据基本持平。两种评价方法显示：宝鸡市中小学校园室内外灰尘中铅污染程度和潜在生态风险均达到严重水平。该研究结果可为区域环境保护、治理及居民健康防护提供科学依据。     

Associations of residential greenness with obesity and BMI level among Chinese rural population: findings from the Henan Rural Cohort Study

In recent years, increasing evidence supports the notion that obesity risk is affected by residential greenness. However, limited studies have been established in low- and middle-income countries, especially in China. The study aimed to evaluate the associations of residential greenness with obesity and body mass index (BMI) level in Chinese rural-dwelling adults. A total of 39,259 adults from the Henan Rural Cohort Study (HRCS) were included in the analyses. According to the guideline for prevention and control of overweight and obesity in Chinese adults, obesity was defined as BMI?≥?28 kg/m². Residential greenness was measured by satellite-based normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI). Generalized linear mixed models were used to study the associations between exposure to residential greenness with obesity and BMI level. Higher residential greenness was significantly correlated with lower odds of obesity and BMI level. For example, in the full-adjusted analyses, an interquartile range (IQR) increase in EVI_500-m was linked with reduced odds of obesity (OR?=?0.77, 95%CI 0.72–0.82) and BMI level (β?=????0.41 kg/m², 95%CI???0.48 to???0.33 kg/m²). Mediation analyses showed air pollution and physical activity could be potential mediators in these associations. Besides, we found that the association of NDVI_500-m with BMI was stronger in females and low-income populations. Higher residential greenness was associated with a lower prevalence of obesity and BMI level, particularly among females and the low-income population. These relationships were partially mediated by reducing air pollution and increasing physical activity.
