a study of the temporal variability of atrazine in private well water. part ii: analysis of data

In 1988, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, along withthe University of Iowa, conducted the Statewide Rural WellWater Survey, commonly known as SWRL. A total of 686private rural drinking water wells was selected by use of aprobability sample and tested for pesticides and nitrate. A subsetof these wells, the 10% repeat wells, were additionally sampledin October, 1990 and June, 1991. Starting in November, 1991,the University of Iowa, with sponsorship from the United StatesEnvironmental Protection Agency, revisited the 10% repeat wellsto begin a study of the temporal variability of atrazine and nitratein wells. Other wells, which had originally tested positive foratrazine in SWRL but were not in the 10% population, wereadded to the study population. Temporal sampling for a year-long period began in February of 1992 and concluded in Januaryof 1993. All wells were sampled monthly, a subset was sampledweekly, and a second subset was sampled for 14 day consecutiveperiods. Of the 67 wells in the 10% population tested monthly,7 (10.4%) tested positive for atrazine at least once during theyear, and 3 (4%) were positive each of the 12 months. Theaverage concentration in the 7 wells was 0.10 µg/L. Fornitrate, 15 (22%) wells in the 10% repeat population monthlysampling were above the Maximum Contaminant Level of 10 mg/L at least once. This paper, the second of two papers on thisstudy, describes the analysis of data from the survey. The firstpaper (Lorber et al., 1997) reviews the study design, theanalytical methodologies, and development of the data base.     

Emissions of VOCs at Urban Petrol Retail Distribution Centres in India (Delhi and Mumbai)

Air pollution has assumed gigantic proportion killing almost half a million Asians every year. Urban pollution mainly comprises of emissions from buses, trucks, motorcycle other forms of motorized transport and its supporting activities. As Asia's cities continue to expand the number of vehicles have risen resulting in greater pollution. Fugitive emissions from retail distribution center in urban area constitute a major source. Petrol vapours escape during refueling adding pollutants like benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene to ambient air. This paper discusses a study on fugitive emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) at some refueling station in two metropolitan cities of India, i.e., Mumbai and Delhi. Concentration of VOCs in ambient air at petrol retail distribution center is estimated by using TO-17 method. Concentration of benzene in ambient air in Delhi clearly shows the effect of intervention in use of petroleum and diesel fuel and shift to CNG. Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) model is used to estimate source contributions. At Delhi besides diesel combustion engines, refueling emissions are also major sources. At Mumbai evaporative emissions are found to contribute maximum to Total VOC (TVOC) concentration in ambient air.     

农村井水受病原微生物污染的可能性及对策

井水是我国农村地区主要的饮用水源。由于农村地区缺乏生活污水集中处理设施，大量的病原微生物进入环境中。并可能通过各种途径污染井水。世界卫生组织和国外的一些数据显示，饮水中的病原微生物严重地影响了人的健康。本文讨论了我国南方农村水井受病原微生物污染的可能性，井提出了相应的对策。

新疆百重7井区油田开发对地下水环境的影响分析

新疆百重7井区为新疆百口腺地下水的汇集径流区,是克拉玛依市生尖生产用水水源之一，在此处进行油田开发，使得保护该区地下水环境成为开发工程的重中之重，由新疆百重7井区油田开发对地下水环境的影响分析可知，正常状况下的油田开发对地下水的影响很小，一旦发生事故，则对地下水的影响很大，必须采取适当措施，保护该区丰富的地下水资源。

佛山五峰垃圾填埋场封场后CH4等浓度变化特征

通过对垃圾填埋场设置监测井监测，讨论了垃丧填埋场封场后在内部温度，渗滤液的ＰＨ值及Ｏ２，ＣＨ４、ＣＯ２等气体浓度在时间上与空间上的变化，认为在不同到３ａ的时间五峰垃圾填埋场内部垃圾分解的程度就已达到整个分解过程听中后期，提出在高温高湿地区要充分利用ＣＨ４资源，必须尽快直埋尽快封场或边填埋边使用。     

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in pregnant diabetic patients

The efficacy of the insulin infusion pump (CSII) in pregnancy was examined in 12 diabetic patients and compared with intermittent insulin therapy (IIT). In patients poorly controlled on IIT constant and rapid equilibrium was achieved with CSII (mean of glucose levels: CSII versus IIT=84 versus 137 mg/dl; S.D. = 36 versus 63 mg/dl; mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE)=65 versus 112 mg/dl. In patients well controlled on IIT, CSII led to a reduction in the variation of glucose excursions (S.D.= 29 versus 36 mg/dl; MAGE=48 versus 76 mg/dl). CSII generally produced a reduction of 20–37 per cent of daily insulin dose (in three cases there was an increase of dose with the achievement of glycemic control). Furthermore in CSII treated-patients amniotic glucose, insulin and C-peptide concentrations werefound tobeinthenormalrange(22.1±10.1 mg/dl; 5.2±2.7μ/ml; 1.25±0.71 ng/ml, respectively). All infants were horn at or near-term, had no macrosomia or neonatal problems. It is concluded that CSII is a highly efficient way to achieve normal glucose levels in pregnancy, not only in type I, hut also in type II or gestational diabetes.

喷射浮选处理含油污水的研究

重点对喷射浮选处理含油污水进行了试验研究，结果表明浮选室内射流泵的没水深度对喷射选除油效果有较大的影响，并且只有在气泡量大并充满浮选室及表面相对平静的状态下，才儿得较好效果，为此，我们在浮选室内加入自制的增料，使兼并的气海重新得到分散，消耗了一部分动能，减缓了浮选室的扰动，使除在大提高，从而为研制新型高效的喷射浮选设备提供了一条新途径。
