Potential perchlorate exposure from Citrus sp. irrigated with contaminated water

Citrus produced in the southwestern United States is often irrigated with perchlorate-contaminated water. This irrigation water includes Colorado River water which is contaminated with perchlorate from a manufacturing plant previously located near the Las Vegas Wash, and ground water from wells in Riverside and San Bernardino counties of California which are affected by a perchlorate plume associated with an aerospace facility once located near Redlands, California. Studies were conducted to evaluate the uptake and distribution of perchlorate in citrus irrigated with contaminated water, and estimate potential human exposure to perchlorate from the various citrus types including lemon (Citrus limon), grapefruit (Citrus paradise), and orange (Citrus sinensis) produced in the region. Perchlorate concentrations ranged from less than 2-9 μg/L for Colorado River water and from below detection to approximately 18 μg/L for water samples from wells used to irrigate citrus. Destructive sampling of lemon trees produced with Colorado River water show perchlorate concentrations larger in the leaves (1835 μg/kg dry weight (dw)) followed by the fruit (128 μg/kg dw). Mean perchlorate concentrations in roots, trunk, and branches were all less than 30 μg/kg dw. Fruit pulp analyzed in the survey show perchlorate concentrations ranged from below detection limit to 38 μg/kg fresh weight (fw), and were related to the perchlorate concentration of irrigation water. Mean hypothetical exposures (μg/person/day) of children and adults from lemons (0.005 and 0.009), grapefruit (0.03 and 0.24), and oranges (0.51 and 1.20) were estimated. These data show that potential perchlorate exposures from citrus in the southwestern United States are negligible relative to the reference dose recommended by the National Academy of Sciences.     

汉江下游武汉段河漫滩沉积物吸附磷的特征

研究了汉江下游武汉段河漫滩7个沉积物的吸附特征及温度和扰动强度对磷吸附等温线的影响，用改进的Langmuir模型和Freundlish模型对实验吸附数据进行拟合，可得到最大吸附容量（Qmax）、原有吸附可交换态磷（NAP）、临界磷平衡浓度（EPC0）和固-液分配系数（Kp）的值．结果表明，改进的Langmuir模型更适用于描述汉江河漫滩沉积物的吸附特征，其物理意义更明确；Kp与Qmax呈较好的线性关系；沉积物吸附和解吸磷能力与温度变化一致；沉积物在等温吸附磷过程中，固体浓度效应在强扰动强度（200r／min）时最强。弱扰动强度（150r／min）时次之，中扰动强度（100r／min）时最弱．     

二维动床泥沙数学模型在“单向冲刷”江道中的应用——以曹娥江为例

2008年底曹娥江河口大闸建成并开始试运行,大闸的兴建阻挡了钱塘江潮流的上朔.平时大闸关闸挡潮,阻挡外海泥沙进入上游江道;洪水期开闸放水,逐步带出建闸前淤积在河床上的泥沙.闸上江道的冲淤特性由建闸前的“洪冲枯淤”转变为建闸后的“单向冲刷”,泥沙运动规律的改变将会加剧水流对两岸防洪堤的冲刷,也会对沿江涉水工程（如跨江大桥）的安全造成不同程度的影响.应用二维动床泥沙数学模型,考虑曹娥江大闸调度原则,并按水文年（1962～2005年）重演方式,对建闸后闸上江道冲淤演变情况进行了长系列反演计算,同时对堤防可能的险工险段及河床最大冲深进行了预测,可供相关部门和单位在工程设计、施工过程中参考使用.     

基于组合评价的长三角城市基础设施投资绩效研究

城市基础设施投资绩效的合理评价是进行科学投资决策的重要依据。为了对长三角25个城市基础设施投资绩效进行客观、合理的评价,建立了基础设施投资绩效评价指标体系,选取2009年截面数据采用组合评价法进行综合评价。该方法首先使用超效率DEA、熵权TOPSIS、因子分析三种方法得出各自结果下的排名,在验证了各评价方法具有一致性的前提下采用模糊Borda综合评价法得出各城市的最终排名。组合评价方法弥补了单一方法的不足,有助于得到更客观合理的评价结果,为有关城市和部门把握基础设施投资绩效和未来决策提供参考。     

HR-ICP-MS对黄河甘宁蒙段过滤水和悬浮物中稀土元素含量测定与分馏作用研究

采用高分辨电感耦合等离子质谱(HR-ICP-MS)对黄河甘肃、宁夏、内蒙古段12个采样点过滤水和悬浮物中稀土元素含量进行了测定,并对悬浮物中稀土元素的分馏作用进行了研究。结果表明：过滤水中稀土元素含量较低,含量最高的元素镧(La)浓度仅为32.0 ng·L-1,稀土元素总量平均值为47.5 ng·L-1,以包头磴口(S1)和三湖河口(S2)最高,分别为130.0和100.0 ng·L-1,可能是由外源稀土进入水体所致;悬浮物中稀土元素总量平均值为167.8 mg·kg-1,与中国土壤背景值相近,其中,甘肃什川桥采样点(S11)重稀土元素含量明显高于其他采样点,表明该采样点受到外源重稀土的影响。悬浮物中稀土元素球粒陨石标准化结果与中国土壤分布模式相同,表现为轻稀土元素富集,铕(Eu)中度亏损,铈(Ce)呈现弱的亏损,表明悬浮物中稀土元素主要来源于土壤风化作用。     

中国黄河三角洲的草地

黄河三角洲是中国最大的三角洲之一。草地是本地区主要自然植被类型。芦苇群落、白茅群落、獐茅群落和盐地碱蓬群落是该草地的4个基本类型。本文研究了它们的性质及其环境因子特征。草地的平均年产草量可达2000kg/hecta。将放牧区与割草区分开、控制放牧的时间和强度、限制牧群的数量以及适宜地造林是合理利用草地资源的重要途径。建立自然保护区对于科学研究、草地生态系统的保护是必要的。     

保定府河溶解性有机质三维荧光光谱分析(英文)

利用三维荧光光谱法(3D-EEM)研究了保定府河溶解性有机质(DOM)的荧光特性,根据三维荧光光谱图中荧光峰的位置、数量及强度变化,荧光峰之间的相关性,初步判断荧光物质的类别、分布和来源。府河水体溶解性有机质主要有类蛋白质和类溶解性微生物代谢产物两类,类蛋白荧光峰Ex/Em=225~230/340nm(A);类溶解性微生物代谢产物荧光峰Ex/Em=275/340~350nm(B)。不同采样时间和采样点,府河水体基本上都存在类蛋白荧光峰和类溶解性微生物代谢产物荧光峰。分析各荧光峰强度与水质指标相关性发现,两荧光峰之间呈显著性相关,表明研究区域中类蛋白质和类溶解性微生物代谢产物具有同源性;DOM两类荧光峰与COD,TN,TP,NH3-N呈显著正相关,表明通过两类荧光峰强度可推测府河污染程度,为府河污染防治和沿河流域生态环境治理提供参考。     

CLIMATE CHANGE AND COOPERATION IN TRANSBOUNDARY WATER SHARING: AN APPLICATION OF STOCHASTIC STACKELBERG DIFFERENTIAL GAMES IN VOLTA RIVER BASIN

Abstract As multiple countries share a river, the likelihood of conflicts over distributing water resources increases, particularly under the effects of climate change. In this paper, we demonstrate how countries can cooperate in sustainable transboundary water sharing under such conditions. We examine the case of water distribution in the Volta Basin of West Africa between the upstream country, Burkina Faso, and the downstream country, Ghana. The latter faces an additional tradeoff between the production of hydropower in the south, close to the outlet of the basin, and agricultural water use in the reservoir’s catchment area in the north. In the framework of a stochastic Stackelberg differential game, we show how sustainable water‐sharing agreements can be achieved by linking transboundary flows to hydropower exports. Our results indicate that, through cooperation, Ghana will have an opportunity to increase its water abstraction for agriculture, which has remained largely restricted. We also find that the equilibrium strategies for the long‐run distribution are stable even with increasing variances of water flow.
