Ligustrum lucidum Ait. f. tricolor (Rehd.) Rehd. in relation to atmospheric pollutants in Córdoba city, Argentina. The study area receives
regional pollutants and was categorized taking into account traffic level, industrial density, type of industry, location
of the sample point in relation to the street corner, treeless condition, and topographic level. Dried weight/fresh weight
ratio (DW/FW) and specific leaf area (SLA) were calculated, and concentrations of chlorophylls, carotenoids, total sulfur,
soluble proteins, malondialdehyde (MDA), and hydroperoxy conjugated dienes (HPCD) were determined in leaf samples. Sulfur
content correlates positively with traffic density and SLA correlates negatively with some combinations of the categorical
variables; MDA correlates positively with topographic level and total protein concentration correlates negatively with treeless
condition. On the basis of our results, traffic, location of trees, type of industry, situation of a tree with respect to
others, and topographic level are the environmental variables to bear in mind when selecting analogous sampling points in
a passive monitoring program. An approximation to predict tree injury may be obtained by measuring DW/FW ratio, proteins,
pigments, HPCD, and MDA as they are responsible for the major variability of data. 相似文献

Because of its toxicity, cadmium creates an environmental problem as well as a health hazard for exposed workers. Most cadmium
emissions arise from the intentional use of the element. It is therefore mandatory to reduce cadmium consumption to the lowest
possible level. Cadmium pigments, mainly used in plastic processing, can be replaced in all applications where the processing
temperature does not exceed 300°C. Newly developed polyvinyl chloride stabilizers promise to be an excellent substitute for
cadmium stabilizers in even the most demanding applications. Cadmium plating, still extensively used in the United States
and the West Germany, has been virtually abandoned in Japan. Improved lead acid batteries are replacing vented nickel cadmium
batteries because of their cost effectiveness. While in these applications cadmium use is declining, more and more cadmium
is needed for the manufacturing of sealed nickel cadmium batteries. These relatively small electrochemical cells are used
mainly by individual consumers. Here cadmium can only be replaced in some marginal applications. The high cadmium content
of these batteries (up to 22%) makes them a good candidate for recycling of the heavy metal. 相似文献

PCDD/Fs and PCBs in surface waters and effluent waste streams flowing into New York/New Jersey Harbor were sampled by large volume filtration and solid phase extraction (XAD-2). Passive hexane samplers were employed in sewer trackdown. Extraction media were analyzed for 2,3,7,8 substituted PCDD/Fs and all 209 PCB congeners. The non-Aroclor PCB congener, 3,3′-DiCB, was ubiquitous in the harbor and was found to be associated with pigment manufacture. Knowledge of inadvertent synthesis of non-Aroclor PCBs is not new but its magnitude and the generation of congeners with dioxin-like properties from this process is novel. 相似文献

In this work we measured a set of antioxidative and photoprotective compounds (chlorophylls, carotenoids, tocopherol, ascorbate
and glutathione), which were suggested previously as stress markers in conifer needles, at two spruce forest sites at different
elevation in Saxony, Germany. Most variables differed significantly between current and 1-year-old needles, but only the content
of the xanthophyll cycle per mg total chlorophyll and the oxidation state of glutathione were significantly different between
the sites. We applied principal component analysis (PCA) to address the question if underlying accumulated variables are similar
to the ones found in spruce needles across Alpine elevation profiles and/or for pines in Mediterranean ecosystems. Four principal
components (accumulated variables, PC) representing 68% of the total variance of the dataset were extracted. PC 1 encompassed
total chlorophyll, lutein, and β-carotene contents, PC 2 combined the epoxidation state of xanthophylls, ascorbate content
and redox state, and glutathione content, PC 3 represented the content of xanthophylls and the redox state of glutathione,
and PC 4 encompassed the content of α-carotene and the epoxidation state of xanthophylls. Only PC 3 was significantly different
between sites. The PCA structure shows many similarities to corresponding findings in studies on spruce in mountain forests
in the Alps and pines in Mediterranean systems. This corroborates the interpretation of PCs as indicative for underlying physiological
processes. However, separation of the two investigated sites by PCs was in the present case study not superior to the separation
by single input variables. 相似文献

Continuous industrial development increases energy consumption and, consequently, the consumption of fossil fuels. Coal mineral has been used in Brazil as a solid fuel for thermoelectric generators for several years. However, coal exploitation affects the environment intensely, mainly because Brazilian coal contains excess ash and pyrite (iron disulfide). According to the local coal industry syndicate, the average annual coal run per mine is 6 million ton/year; 3.5 million ton/year are rejected and disposed of in landfills. Besides pyrite, Brazilian coal contains Mn, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ge, Se, and Co. Additionally, the water used for coal beneficiation causes pyrite oxidation, forming an acid mine drainage (AMD). This drainage solubilizes the metals, transporting them into the environment, making treatment a requirement. This work deals with the use of sedimented residue from treated coal mine drainage sludge to obtain inorganic pigments that could be used in the ceramic industry. The residue was dried, ground and calcined ( approximately 1250 degrees C). The calcined pigment was then micronized (D(50) approximately 2mum). Chemical (XRF), thermal (DTA/TG), particle size (laser), and mineralogical (XRD) analyses were carried out on the residue. After calcination and micronization, mineralogical analyses (XRD) were used to determine the pigment structure at 1250 degrees C. Finally, the pigments were mixed with transparent glaze and fired in a laboratory roller kiln (1130 degrees C, 5min). The results were promising, showing that brown colors can be obtained with pigments made by residues. 相似文献
