Sulphur budgets for Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces have been computed using the Long-Range Transport of Air Pollutants model (LRTAP) which has been developed within the Atmospheric Environment Service of Canada. Meteorological data from 1978 and a North American SO2 emissions inventory for 1970–1974 form the basic model input. The S budgets for the eastern Canadian regions were computed for large-scale emission scenarios. The budget shows the trans-boundary mass transport, S deposition and S concentrations within the regions for each scenario and shows the relative contribution to the deposition in each region. For eastern Canada, the model shows an annual S transboundary input of about 2 Tg S, an emission of about 1.8 Tg S, a deposition of about 2.4 Tg S and an output of about 1.4 Tg S. For southwestern Ontario, the model shows an annual average SO2 concentration of 25 to 30 μg m?3 (10 ppb), an annual sulphate concentration of about 8 μg m?3, an annual wet deposition of S of about 15 kg S ha?1 and an annual sulphate concentration in precipitation of about 5 to 6 mg l?1.  相似文献

Atmospheric gases and particulates were collected using four-stage filter-pack in Chunchon from January through December in 1999. Particulate SO4 2? and NO3 ?, and gaseous HNO3, SO2 and NH3 were analyzed. Annual average concentration of SO4 2?(S), NO3 ?(S), HNO3 (g), SO2(g) and NH3(g) were 5.75µg/m3, 4.98µg/m3, 0.33ppb, 1.52ppb and 7.25ppb, respectively. Annual dry deposition fluxes were estimated using the measured concentration and dry deposition velocity published by other research group. Annual dry deposition of S was 287kg · (km)?2·y?1, which accounted for about 30% of total S deposition. For N deposition, dry deposition is predominant; about 70% of total N deposition was through dry process mostly as forms of NH3 and HNO3.  相似文献

Generally, dry deposition processes are very important for atmospheric chemistry of pollutants providing up to 30–80 % of the removal for certain compounds from the atmosphere. The model for calculating of dry deposition fluxes for a large territory seems unsophisticated in spite of the dependence on surface characteristics, pollutant properties and atmospheric conditions. The approach of combining monthly average concentrations measured at the Integrated Background Monitoring Network (IBMoN) and EMEP stations and linear dry deposition velocity was used to calculate total sulphur and nitrogen fluxes for the whole of the former Soviet Union (FSU) taking into account large-scale geographical variability in climate and lands. Most values of all SO2 and SO4 2? concentrations were below 2.9 and 3.1 mgS/m3, and NO2 concentration were 1.5 mgN/m3 over European part and 0.6 mgN/m3 in Western Siberia. The long-term trends of oxidised sulphur and nitrogen compounds in the atmosphere were examined for 1982–1998 in certain FSU regions. Annual dry deposition of sulphur was estimated as 3.64 Mt S (in sulphate form) and 2.76 Mt S (in SO2 form) for the whole area of FSU. Annual removal of NO2 by dry deposition was calculated at 1.27 Mt N. These values constituted between 44 and 50% of total oxidised sulphur and nitrogen deposition.  相似文献

Chongqing is among the heaviest polluted cities in China. Combustion of coal with relatively high sulfur content causes high sulfur emission and deposition in the area. Effects on soils and waters of the acid deposition in the Chongqing area have been studied in the field at a forested site outside the city. Deposition chemistry and fluxes, soil and soil water chemistry as well as surface water chemistry are presented for the period 1996–1998. There are some stress symptoms at the forest in the area and severe forest damage has been reported at Nanshan, closer to Chongqing center. Monitoring of the acidification situation in the area must be followed closely as impacts may be expected if the deposition is not reduced in the future. The deposition of sulfur, H+ as well as calcium at the site is high. Wet deposition of sulfur is estimated to 4.7 – 5.7 g S m?2 yr?1 during the three years sampled; dry deposition is probably of similar size. Annual volume-weighted pH in bulk deposition was 4.0 – 4.2 and the calcium wet deposition flux was 2.6 – 3.6 g Ca2+ m?2. There are considerable seasonal variations in the concentrations, related to the seasonal variations in precipitation amount (dry winter, wet summer). The soils at the site are acid with median base saturation of 12% and 8% in the topsoil and subsoil, respectively. In soil water, aluminum concentrations are typically in the range 3–8 mg L?1. However, due to the high base cation deposition, the Al/(Ca2++Mg2+) molar ratio is below unity in most samples, indicating little damage of forest due to aluminum in soil water.  相似文献

Anthropogenic and biogenic high molecular weight (C12–C32) hydrocarbons (HC) were deposited from the atmosphere in association with both wet and dry deposition. Wet deposition generally removes HC at a faster rate (22 to 670 μg m?2 day?1) than dry deposition (4 to 189 μg m?2 day?1). However, due to longer periods during which dry deposition occurred, the removal of atmospheric HC by wet and dry deposition is almost equal during this sampling period. Atmospheric HC concentrations ranged from 0.8 to 4.1 μg m?3 and show no simple relationship to wet or dry deposition rates. Large variabilities in deposition rates for individual events were found, but long-term average deposition was relatively constant.  相似文献

Atmospheric polychlorinated bihenyls (PCBs) deposit by dry and wet deposition mechanisms, and therefore they constitute a significant polluting source for lands and surface waters. Various samplers have been used to determine the PCB pollution level resulting from deposition. In the presented study, a modified wet deposition sampler (WDS) was used for sampling both wet and dry deposition samples with the same instrument by which wet deposition reservoir of the WDS is opened and dry deposition reservoir is closed when rain starts. Wet and dry deposition samples were collected between June 2008 and June 2009. In the samples taken from BUTAL which is known as an urban area with heavy traffic, ??PCB dry deposition fluxes were determined as 18?±?10 ng/m2??day, and wet deposition fluxes for dissolved and particle phase were measured as 480?±?1,185 and 475?±?1,000 ng/m2??day, respectively. The dissolved and particle-phase PCB concentrations in rain were 10?±?13 and 13?±?14 ng/l, respectively. The contribution of wet deposition to total PCB deposition was determined as 52%. PCB concentrations in the ambient air were measured to be 370?±?200 and 20?±?20 pg/m3 for gas and particle phases, respectively. Washout ratio was determined by proportioning rain concentration to concentration in air. The washout ratios of the samples were between 1,675?C311,800 and 12,775?C2,511,120 for dissolved and particulate phases, respectively.  相似文献

Dry and wet deposition of atmospheric nitrogen species (NO2 and HNO3) coming from nitrogen oxides emissions in Buenos Aires city to surface waters of de la Plata River were estimated. Atmospheric dispersion models DAUMOD-RD (v.2) and CALPUFF were applied to area and point sources, respectively. These models were run considering 1 year of hourly meteorological data. Emission information included a typical diurnal variation of area source emissions. Annual atmospheric nitrogen (N–NO2?+?N–HNO3) deposition to 1,763 km2 of the river was 35,600 kg-N year?1. Dry deposition processes accounted for 89% of this value. The small contribution of wet deposition was a consequence of the very few cases (5%) of rain events during offshore wind conditions. Monthly dry deposition to 1,763 km2 of the river varied from 1,628 kg-N month?1 in February to 3,799 kg-N month?1 in December, following the monthly occurrence of offshore winds. Monthly wet deposition varied from 1 kg-N month?1 in June to 1,162 kg-N month?1 in February. These results came from the combination of favorable conditions for formation of HNO3 and the occurrence of precipitation during offshore wind situations. Spatial distribution of annual atmospheric N deposition showed a strong coastal gradient. Deposition values reached a maximum of 137.1 kg-N km?2 year?1 near the shoreline, which was reduced to the half at 4 km from the coast.  相似文献

As part of a study to determine the magnitude of atmospheric inputs of materials into the lakes of central Ontario, a four-station network of bulk deposition and wet-only precipitation samplers was established in the Muskoka-Haliburton and Sudbury regions to determine the deposition (mg m2? yr?1) and volume weighted concentration (μg 1?1) of Ph, Cu, Ni, Zn, Al, Mn and Fe in precipitation. Large temporal variations in the monthly deposition of all metals were observed. The variations for Cu and Ni exhibited seasonal patterns which could be attributed to a combination of source and wind direction factors. Concentration and deposition of all metals at Muskoka-Haliburton were generally as low or lower than median North American values from the literature. At Sudbury, the large local smelting industry contributed to the elevated Cu, Ni, Zn, and Fe deposition measured in the region (up to two orders of magnitude larger than Muskoka-Haliburton); Al and Mn values were not elevated. Deposition of Cu. Ni and Fe was inversely related to distance from the largest point source at Sudbury. The importance of dry deposition is greatest at Sudbury where dry inputs of Cu, Zn, Al, and Fe generally exceed wet inputs. In contrast, wet deposition of metals at Muskoka-Haliburton predominates over dry. Calculation of an enrichment factor (normalized against Mn) showed that the levels of Pb, Cu, Ni and Zn observed in the precipitation of central Ontario require an additional non-crustal source (either natural or anthropogenic) for explanation.  相似文献

Inputs of wet and dry deposition were monitored at the Huntington Forest in the Adirondack Mountains of New York for two years in the open and beneath the canopy of a northern hardwood forest. In the open, ion flux estimates were similar using wet-only weekly (NADP protocol) and event collections, but bulk collections were higher for all ions except H+, which was much lower. These differences were due to the contribution of dry deposition and possible biotic alterations in bulk collectors. Dry deposition was estimated using air concentrations and ion-specific depositional velocities modeled with meteorological data, and contributed substantially to the input of all ions [H+ (45%), Na+ (24%), K+ (22%), NH4 + (12%), Ca2+ (58%), Mg2+(43%), NO3 ? (55%), Cl? (27%) and SO4 ?2 (26%)]. Dry input of base cations was dominated by coarse particles, whereas gaseous inputs were more important for S and NO3 ?. Atmospheric concentrations of SO2 and inputs of SO4 2? and H+ were lower at this site than sites closer to point sources of S gas emission. The importance of estimating atmospheric inputs was examined using examples of elemental budgets. For example, different estimates of the contribution of dry deposition of SO4 2? (9–21 meq m?2 y?1) resulted in conclusions ranging from no net retention to a net loss of this element. Such differences have important implications in assessing the current and future role of atmospheric inputs in affecting elemental cycling.  相似文献

The concentration of ammonium and nitrate in precipitation has increased during this century. The deposition of N compounds (wet + dry) is reaching 30 to 40 kg ha?1yr?1 in many areas in Central Europe and above 20 kg in the southern parts of Scandinavia. In extreme situations throughfall data indicate depositions above 60 kg ha?1yr?1 in Central Europe and above 40 kg ha?1yr?1 in south Sweden. Very high depositions are observed on slopes at forest edges and adjacent to areas with animal farms and manure spreading. In areas with low N deposition almost all deposited N (>95%) will be absorbed in the tree canopies or in the soil. In areas with high deposition an increased outflow is observed which in some cases reach 10 to 15 kg ha-lyr-1. The increased output is an indication of N saturation of the ecosystem and it leads to acidification effects in soils, soilwater, groundwater and surface waters.  相似文献

Wet-only rainwater composition on a daily basis, and atmospheric SO2 and NO2 concentrations on a monthly basis have been measured over a two year period at four sites ～100 km to the west of Sydney. Bulk aerosol composition on a monthly basis was also measured at one site. The study region is predominantly rural in character, but contains two coal-fired thermal power stations with a total installed capacity of 2320 MW, as well as several min or population centres, including a small city, with a total population of about 21,000. The measurement sites were located roughly on the perimeter of a circle of about 20 km radius having the power stations at its centre. Three of the sites were situated in rural settings, while the fourth was located on the outskirts of the small city of Lithgow. Atmospheric acid loadings at all sites were low by the standards usually associated with industrialised regions of Europe and North America, with about one third of rainwater total acidity provided by organic acids (formic, acetic and oxalic). At the three rural sites, total inorganic acid deposition, comprising measured wet deposition plus inferred dry deposition of acidic S and N species, averaged about 30 meq m?2 y?1, a low figure by most standards. At the site located near the city of Lithgow total deposition of acidic S and N species averaged about 80 meq m?2 y?1.  相似文献

Soil contains the major part of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems, but the response of this carbon to enriching the atmosphere in CO2 and to increased N deposition is not completely understood. We studied the effects of CO2 concentrations at 370 and 570 μmol CO2 mol?1 air and increased N deposition (7 against 0.7 g N m?2 year?1) on the dynamics of soil organic C in two types of forest soil in model ecosystems with spruce and beech established in large open‐top chambers containing an acidic loam and a calcareous sand. The added CO2 was depleted in 13C and thus the net input of new C into soil organic carbon and the mineralization of native C could be quantified. Soil type was the greatest determining factor in carbon dynamics. After 4 years, the net input of new C in the acidic loam (670 ± 30 g C m?2) exceeded that in the calcareous sand (340 ± 40 g C m?2) although the soil produced less biomass. The mineralization of native organic C accounted for 700 ± 90 g C m?2 in the acidic loam and for 2800 ± 170 g C m?2 in the calcareous sand. Unfavourable conditions for mineralization and a greater physico‐chemical protection of C by clay and oxides in the acidic loam are probably the main reasons for these differences. The organic C content of the acidic loam was 230 g C m?2 more under the large than under the small N treatment. As suggested by a negligible impact of N inputs on the fraction of new C in the acidic loam, this increase resulted mainly from a suppressed mineralization of native C. In the calcareous sand, N deposition did not influence C concentrations. The impacts of CO2 enrichment on C concentrations were small. In the uppermost 10 cm of the acidic loam, larger CO2 concentrations increased C contents by 50–170 g C m?2. Below 10 cm depth in the acidic loam and at all soil depths in the calcareous sand, CO2 concentrations had no significant impact on soil C concentrations. Up to 40% of the ‘new’ carbon of the acidic loam was found in the coarse sand fraction, which accounted for only 7% of the total soil volume. This suggests that a large part of the CO2‐derived ‘new’ C was incorporated into the labile and easily mineralizable pool in the soil.  相似文献

Inorganic nitrogen deposition and leaching in stream water were monitored from January, 2001 to December, 2004 in a subtropical evergreen mixed forest in central-south China. The seasonal concentration and flux of inorganic nitrogen in bulk precipitation and stream water, seasonal mean net retention of nitrogen and net flux of H+ transformed by nitrogen were estimated and quantified in Shaoshan forest. The research results show that the correlation coefficient of fluxes between bulk precipitation and stream water is significant, with a coefficient 0.916 at the 0.01 level. Mean fluxes of inorganic nitrogen input are 2.62 g m?2 a?1 and 0.516 g m?2 a?1 in form of bulk precipitation and dry deposition respectively, and output in stream water is around 0.22 g m?2 a?1, which indicates that most of nitrogen input is reserved in the forest. Net retention of nitrogen reaches 2.916 g m?2 a?1, just higher than other study plots over the world. Along with the translating of nitrogen ( ${\text{NH}}_4^ + - {\text{N}}$ and ${\text{NO}}_3^ - - {\text{N}}$ ), H+ is imported to the forest ecosystem at the same time. At our study plots, net flux of H+ transformed by nitrogen is about 73.57 mmol m?2 a?1. The positive value suggests that Shaoshan forest is still a finer buffering system to nitrogen deposition and it is far from nitrogen saturation in spite of the high nitrogen deposition.  相似文献

Nitrogen (N) fluxes of a slope mire in the German Harz Mountains were monitored to study the effect of increased N deposition on the N retention of the mire. In addition, the N content of mire pore water beneath different plant species was analyzed to assess N retention ability of plants. Atmospheric N deposition at the study site was 4.9?±?0.4 g N m?2 year?1 averaged for the study period of 2002 and 2003, with forest stand deposition being the largest share. Discharge was the main output pathway of N with a rate of 1.9?±?0.3 g N m?2 year?1. The mire showed a high N retention rate of 67%. Short-term N accumulation rate was 3.9 g N m?2 year?1. Differences in mire pore water N concentration under different vegetation cover indicate a lower N retention ability for ombrotrophic Sphagnum plants.  相似文献

Air pollution meteorology related to the dispersion of toxic chemicals in the southeast Ohio River valley was analyzed for a 32-mo period. Attendant air quality measurements of benzene, benzo(a)pyrene, As, Cd, and Cr concentrations were also studied for a 24-mo period. Analysis of the meteorological data showed that wind flow in the valley is significantly affected by the synoptic wind pattern above the hilltop. Sampling at multiple stations showed that daily average concentrations were on the order of 7 μg m?3 for benzene, 2 ng m?3 for benzo(a)pyrene and As, 7 ng m?3 for Cd, and 20 ng m?3 for Cr. Correlations between different species concentrations ranged from 0.25 to 0.6. Based on multi-variable regression analysis, the average benzene concentrations were shown to correlate with the average wind speed and the morning and evening potential temperature gradients at the airport, with a correlation coefficient on the order of 0.5.  相似文献

Trends in the precipitation-weighted average concentrations and in the deposition of inorganic ions in daily precipitation samples at three Finnish background stations were calculated for a period extending from the seventies to 1988. During the period 1973–1988, S04 2? concentrations in wet deposition at the station in Central Finland decreased by 39% in accordance with the emission decrease of SO1 in Finland of 50% over the same period, and the 20% decrease in Europe from 1980 to 1988. However, due to the more significant decrease in alkaline ions (80% for Mg2+), H+ concentrations increased by 30%. At the two southernmost stations, overall concentrations are higher and the decrease of Mg2+ and Ca2+ is less important, but at the station in southeastern Finland the increase of N03 ? relative to NH4 + has doubled H+ concentrations during the period 1977–1988. Division of the data according to wind direction sectors showed generally decreasing concentrations in the sectors related to Scandinavia, but unchanging or increasing concentrations in the sectors related to eastern Europe. Acid deposition trends were estimated as H+, S04 2? - (Ca2+ + Mg2+), and H+ + NH4 + - N03 +. All these trends showed increasing acid deposition in central Finland and decreasing trends in western Finland. In eastern Finland the trends were opposing due to the increasing N03 + but decreasing NH4 ? trends. It is concluded that S04 2? deposition trends do not reflect acid deposition trends, and SO4 2? or N03 ? deposition do not geographically represent acid deposition.  相似文献

Atmospheric concentrations of ammonia were monitored for one year in an intensive dairy farming area and its environs in the Kanto region in central Japan. Passive samplers were used to collect gaseous ammonia in the atmosphere. A clear difference in concentrations was observed: they were high in the central farming area (3.2–36.2 µg N m?3) and low in its surrounding area (0.2–0.4 µg N m?3). Seasonal changes in concentrations were also witnessed · concentration reached a peak in April and May. A negative correlation was found between the annual mean of ammonia concentrations and the distance from the manure facilities of dairy farmers. Ammonia volatilization from manure was considered to be the primary factor that controlled the atmospheric concentrations of ammonia within 1 km of the manure facilities. The annual mean concentrations of ammonia positively correlated with the nitrogen concentrations in open-bulk precipitation. It was, therefore, suggested that ammonia emissions from dairy farming affected the wet deposition of nitrogen. On the other hand, both seasonal changes in precipitation and manure management performed by dairy farmers were considered to be the primary factors that induced seasonal changes in atmospheric ammonia concentrations.  相似文献

Historical deposition rates of Hg were determined in 7 ombrotrophic bogs located far from direct sources in Sweden and Norway. The peat bog cores were dated using 210Pb. Based on the dating result 10 to 12 slices from each core were analyzed for Hg. In Southwestern Scandinavia (Rörvik) the deposition rate has increased from about 10 to about 30 μg Hg m?2 yr?1 since the beginning of this century. In Northwestern Norway (Överbygd) the deposition rate has increased from about 10 to about 35 μg Hg m?2 yr?1 since the 1960's. In Southeast Sweden (Aspvreten) the deposition rate decreased since the beginning of this century. There are no significant trends in the historical deposition rates at the two other stations in middle Scandinavia. A comparison between recent Hg deposition rates measured by peat bog analysis, wet precipitation and mosses shows good agreement at all stations except those in Northern Norway were local dry deposition of Hg may be an important source of Hg.  相似文献

Trace organic compounds were measured in air and rainfall at a rural site in Texas. Chlorinated hydrocarbons and phthalic acid esters (PAEs) were present at concentrations of ng m?3 in air and ng L?1 in precipitation. The most abundant compounds measured in air were PAEs > toxaphene > chlordane > hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) > others. In rainfall the concentration order was PAEs > toxaphene > HCHs > DDTs > chlordane >- PCBs > others. An inverse correlation between concentration and rainfall amount was observed for most compounds. A model of precipitation scavenging of these compounds considered both scavenging of gas-phase and particle-bound compounds from the atmosphere. Good agreement was obtained between theoretical and measured concentrations. Results indicate that scavenging of a small amount of particle-bound compound can account for >98% of wet deposition for insoluble organic pollutants. Gas-phase scavenging is important for the more soluble compounds such as HCH.  相似文献

The influence of a change from daily to weekly sampling of bulk precipitation on the obtained deposition values was studied with parallel sampling for 8 months at the station of Virolahti in 2004. Due to dry deposition, the deposition values of the whole period were found to be 5–70% higher from weekly sampling than from daily sampling, the biggest difference being for K+, Ca2+, Mg+ and Na+. The collection efficiencies of the summer sampler and the winter sampler compared to the standard rain gauge were studied from daily sampling in 1991–2003 and weekly sampling in 2004–2008. The performance was best in summer and in winter with rain samples (median value 85–88%), while the median value for daily snow samples was 72%. In winter, the total sum of precipitation collected in the daily sampler and the weekly sampler was 78% and 69%, respectively. The deficit in the weekly sampler in winter was concluded to be due to evaporation, while from the summer sampler no evaporation seemed to occur. Use of the precipitation amount measured by the standard rain gauge when calculating annual precipitation-weighted mean values gave higher mean concentrations than the use of the precipitation measured by the deposition sampler itself, the biggest difference of 8–11% being in the sea-salt ions Cl?, Mg+ and Na+. It was concluded that the concentration and deposition values measured by daily and weekly bulk sampling are incompatible, and should not be combined into the same time series.  相似文献
