New sampler for dry deposition in forest canopy

A new type of sampler for dry deposition in a forest canopy was designed and tested to confirm its usefulness. The new sampler is made of Teflon chips packed in a nylon net, and tied on a rod like a branch in the canopy. The validity and characteristics of the new sampler were checked by comparing it with the conventional bucket sampler and the foliar extraction method using hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) trees. The comparison between the deposited amounts on the dummy branch and those on the bucket indicates that the dummy could trap gaseous matter more effective than the bucket. From a comparison with the foliar extracting method, it is concluded that the trapping of particulate matter by the new dummy branch is comparable to that of natural needle leaves. However, its efficiency for gaseous matter is relatively small. This disadvantage should be improved by applying other materials to the dummy. Moreover, it is found that the uptake of gas especially SO₂ through the stomata is an important point in the discussion about dry deposition. To evaluate the amounts of dry deposition in the forest canopy more precisely, combination with the additional method should be useful. This study was supported in part by a grant-in-aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports, and Culture, Japan.

Monitoring of subaqueous depots with active barrier systems for contaminated dredged material using dialysis samplers and DGT probes

Background, Aims and Scope  Disposal of dredged material in subaqueous depots is increasingly considered an economic and ecologically sound option in managing contaminated dredged material. The concept of subaqueous disposals capped with active barrier systems has been developed to minimize this risk of contaminant release. As such a depot represents a permanent installation within a sensitive ecosystem, it requires a thorough monitoring concept. It is the goal of this work to develop such a concept regarding general considerations and results of laboratory and field investigations. Methods  In addition to the state-of-the-art techniques developed for other under-water constructions, this monitoring concept is developed with particular respect to the chemical isolation of the dredged material from the overlying water body. It comprises the use of seepage meters, dialysis samplers, and DGT gel probes for determining the migration of selected target solutes. The capability of the dialysis samplers is demonstrated by comparing field results with model calculations. The appropriateness of DGT probes to assess the impact of humic substances on trace metal speciation and on copper toxicity is demonstrated with the aid of laboratory experiments. Results and Discussion  The experimental results show that, by using dialysis samplers, the temporal changes in concentration-depth-profiles of heavy metals in the pore solution can be monitored. Additionally, the application of DGT probes facilitates the in situ detection of labile species of a metal in the presence of dissolved humic substances, which serves to reflect its toxicity. Conclusions. Three subsequent monitoring phases are distinguished on the basis of both general considerations and the findings from field results: A hydraulic phase that is characterized by compaction and pore water expulsion, a geochemical phase in which the demobilization of pollutants can occur due to substantial changes in the physico-chemical conditions (pH, EH), and a steady-state-phase where pore water flow and geochemical conditions are approaching their minimum. Recommendations and Outlook  The monitoring concept suggested here provides a versatile tool to assess the chemical isolation of subaqueous sediment depots and other contaminated sediment sites. This is of great importance as subaqueous disposal is increasingly considered a future management strategy as space for upland disposal is limited and treatment, in general, proves to be too costly.     

内蒙古希拉穆仁草原风蚀水平观测研究

近年来,草原由于遭受不合理利用而严重退化、沙化,风蚀愈加严重。采用集沙仪和移动式风洞模拟相结合的方法,对位于阴山北麓中部的希拉穆仁草原风蚀特征进行了连续6 a的观测研究。结果表明:(1)植被是控制风蚀的决定性因素,并且植被高度对风蚀的抑制作用强于植被盖度。(2)研究区风蚀模数在围封初期很高,达到1313.7 t/(km²·a),随着植被的改善,草原风蚀逐年下降。(3)风蚀物以细沙粒为主,含量占60%以上。该地区每风蚀1000 kg土壤,同时就损失15 kg有机质,227 g速效氮,262 g速效磷和120 g速效钾,肥力损失量惊人。保护基本草原,恢复退化草地,是防治草地风蚀的最根本途径。

药雾浓度沉降曲线拟合方法的试验)(简报)

为了解温室大棚等密闭空间喷雾后的药雾浓度衰减规律,该文以常温烟雾机在棚室中喷雾后的药雾浓度为研究对象,针对D.K.Giles的药雾浓度沉降曲线拟合方法进行了改进,相对于老方法将采样时间段内获得的药雾浓度值置于中间时刻点进行拟合,新方法将该值分别对应于该时间段内3个不同时刻点进行拟合分析。新方法同时还建立了比较曲线拟合优劣的一种工程判据,据此判据得出在5 min的采样时间段条件下,将采样数据作为该采样时间段内第2 min时刻点的药雾浓度值,然后进行拟合,所得药物总质量和实际施用药物总质量相对误差最小,仅为1.6%。研究还表明,在浓度沉降过程中,某一采样周期内的浓度值主要由这一时间段的前段采样所贡献。     

不同洗涤蜂窝煤灰渣对污染土壤中铅的稳定作用研究

蜂窝煤灰渣具有稳定污染土壤中铅的作用,但可增大土壤pH和电导率(EC)。将蜂窝煤灰渣经过水洗和稀盐酸酸洗后加入铅污染土壤(1000mg·kg-1Pb),研究了不同处理灰渣对铅有效性和土壤性质的影响。结果表明,灰渣经水洗和酸洗后,其pH(分别下降1.94、3.70)和电导率(0.785、0.890mS·cm-1)明显下降,重金属有效性和全量也有一定程度的下降。水洗和酸洗灰渣加入土壤后,土壤磷有效性有一定的上升。污染土壤在未加磷条件下加入原灰渣、水洗灰渣和酸洗灰渣后,DTPA-Pb含量分别下降67.2、195、117mg·kg-1,加磷情况下加入这3种灰渣土壤DTPA-Pb含量分别降低102、91.8、86.8mg·kg-1,各处理与对照的差异均达到0.05的显著水平。连续提取的结果表明,不同处理对土壤铅形态的影响不明显。     

污染土壤中六六六和DDT在温室中的分布特征及动态变化研究

应用PUF材料空气被动采样技术,研究了密闭温室条件下污染土壤中有机氯农药[DDT和六六六(HCH)]含量的动态变化及其向空气中扩散的规律。结果表明:土壤中∑HCHs和∑DDTs总量随着培养时间的延长而降低;空气中HCH和DDT浓度在20d时达到峰值,20d以后浓度逐渐降低。培养60d后,土壤中∑HCHs的浓度随土层深度增加而增加,0~2cm土层中∑HCHs的浓度(9.4±0.69)mg·kg-1显著低于6~8cm土层中的浓度(12.11±0.83)mg·kg-1;∑DDTs在土壤中浓度随土壤层次呈现先升高后降低的变化趋势。在温室条件下有机氯农药的异构体和降解产物的组成也发生一定变化,土壤中HCHs和DDTs在一定程度上被激活,温室条件也可能促进HCHs和DDTs的土-气交换过程;温室环境促进了p,p′-DDT和o,p′-DDT向p,p′-DDD和p,p′-DDE转化,从而增大DDT和HCH的环境风险。
