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

The investigation of SO2, NO2, benzo(a)pyrene (BP) and soot (Cel) has been carried out daily in the atmospheric air in the background station Preila (East shore of the Baltic Sea) since 1980. Over this period, daily concentrations of pollutants varied in the wide intervals in warm and cold period as well. From 15 years data typical episodes of highest and lowest concentrations of pollutants are chosen and analysed with respect to the air masses trajectories and meteorological conditions. The highest concentrations of SO2, NO2, BP, Cd were fixed, when the air masses passing Lithuania have been formed over Great Britain and Central Europe.  相似文献

Atmospheric air pollution levels and long-term effects on the environment caused by simultaneous presence of SO2 and oil shale alkaline fly ash during the last five decades (since 1950) were investigated. The annual critical value of SO2 for forest (20 µg m?3) was surpassed in 1% (～35 km2) of the study area where the load was 30–40 µg m?3. No effect of long-term SO2 concentrations of up to 10–11 µg m?3 (0.5-h max up to 270 µg m?3) and simultaneous fly ash loads of up to 95 µg m?3 (1000 µg m?3) on the growth and needle longevity of Pinus sylvestris was established. The yearly deposition (average load up to 20–100 kg S ha?1) was alkaline rather than acidic due to an elevated base cation deposition in 1960–1989. Since 1990, the proportion of SO2 in the balance of components increased: about 70–85% of the total area was affected while the ratio of annual average concentrations of SO2 to fly ash was over 1. The limit values of fly ash for Sphagnum mosses and conifers in the presence of SO2 are recommended.  相似文献

The long range transport of mineral dust such as Yellow Sand (YS) is not restricted to the springtime periods in Northeast Asia. A YS phenomenon was observed during 25～27 January 1999, which was a remarkably distinctive episode in the occurrence time and intensity that had ever been observed in the wintertime in Korea. This YS event had a bi-modal temporal structure with the daily average concentrations of 210～349 µg m?3. The long-lasted second one followed the first arriving short and strong dust pulse. The dominant ion components were SO4 2?, NO3 ?, Ca2+ and Na+ with the concentration of 11.3, 7.6, 6.1 and 4.2 µg m?3, respectively during the passage of YS, compared to the corresponding concentrations of 4.1, 4.6, 0.4, and 1.2 µg m?3 after the passage of YS (AYS) over Korea. The mode diameter of these compounds of YS was around 4 µm, compared to 0.4～0.9 µm of AYS. Concentrations of SO4 2? and NO3 ? were found to be highly correlated with that of Ca2+ in the coarse mode during the YS event, whereas they were well correlated with NH4 + during the non-YS period.  相似文献

Under conditions of limited nutrient supply, plant nutrient uptake is controlled by the external concentration of the ions. Limited information exists about the whole-plant regulation of nutrient uptake when the supply is adequate. To study the relationship between growth rate and carbon dioxide (CO2) assimilation with nutrient uptake, growth chamber experiments were conducted with temperatures ranging from 10 to 35°C at medium (600 µmol m?2 s?1) and high (1200 µmol m?2 s?1) light intensities. Nutrient solution samples were collected every 24 hours and the concentration of ions was analyzed by Inductively coupled plasma -atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and nitrate and ammonium (NO3?/NH4+) conductivity. Leaf photo-synthesis was measured using a closed gas exchange system and the total amount of CO2 assimilated was calculated from dry weight increases. The daily absorption of NO3?, Total nitrogen (N), dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO4?) and potassium (K+) responded linearly to plant growth, while ammonium (NH4+) and sulfate (SO42?) uptake showed a curvilinear response. All the ions studied showed a curvilinear relation with CO2 assimilation.  相似文献

An established industrial monitoring technique has been refined to allow the accurate determination of total gaseous Hg in air at background levels (1–3 ng·m?3). Samples are collected under vacuum through a commercially available iodide-impregnated carbon trap. For analysis, the trap is digested in a 7∶3 (v/v) mixture of HNO3+H2SO4, and an aliquot of the digest analyzed by SnCl2 reduction, dual gold amalgamation, and cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometric (CVAFS) detection. The traps exhibit little breakthrough (<5%) under flow rates of up to 1.0 l·min?1 for periods up to 10 days. The mean value for the blank on the half traps was found to be 0.40±0.16 ng (n=20), resulting in a 3 α detection limit of 0.07 ng·m (1 week sample at 1.0 L·m?3). Replicate field collections show a between-trap RSD of ± 6.4%, while field intercomparison with gold trapping resulted in 104±20% recovery in the 1–4 ng/m3 concentration range.  相似文献

Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) is an organic derivative of manganese used as an additive in unleaded gasoline in Canada since 1977. Moreover, Canada is the only country in the world to have authorized the replacement of lead alkyls by MMT in gasoline. The purpose of the present study is to assess the importance of air contamination by Mn in relation to other air pollutants (gaseous and particulates), meteorological variables and traffic density. The concentration of both the gaseous (O3, CO, NO, NO2, SO2) and the particulate pollutants (Mn, Pb, NO? 3, SO?? 4, TSP) had been measured by the Montreal Urban Community in 1990 at seven sampling stations located in high traffic and low traffic density areas. Data on the meteorological conditions during that same period were also used. Non-parametric correlation, ANOVA and discriminant analyses were used to compare gaseous and particulate pollutants found between both levels of traffic density. In almost 50% of the daily air samples measured in 1990, the Mn concentrations are higher than the urban background level estimated at 0.04 μg m?3 and the variations of Mn concentrations are significantly correlated in time with traffic density. Moreover, Mn and TSP discriminate the best high and low traffic density areas. No significant differences have been observed between Pb, O3 and SO2 concentrations in both areas. These results should not be interpreted in terms of potential health effects since it is presently impossible to determine the fate of the Mn in the environment and its importance in terms of human exposure.  相似文献

A linear gradient field exposure system was modified from one originally described by Shinn et al. (1977) and used to expose field grown soybeans (Glycine max cv Hark) to a concentration gradient of a mixture of two gaseous pollutants: SO2 and 03. Since this technique does not use enclosures, study plants experienced near ambient fluctuations in environmental conditions, including wind, and hence were exposed to widely fluctuating pollutant concentrations. Plants in the gradient system were exposed to both pollutants for 57 h on 12 days during the pod-filling period (31 August–17 September). Mean concentrations during the 57 h of exposure at the ‘high’ end of the gradient were 0.16 and 0.06 µl l?1 (PPM) SO2 and O3, respectively, with 10 h at greater than 0.25 and 0.10 µl?1 SO2 and O3, respectively. Total doses for these plants were estimated to be 9.0 and 3.5 µl?1 · h SO2 and O3, respectively. Comparison with plants exposed to ambient air indicated that exposure to SO2 and O3 reduced total yield per plant and dry mass per bean by as much as 36 and 15 %, respectively. Since concurrent exposure to a much higher dosage of SO2 alone (20.2 µl l?1 · h) was observed in a separate experiment to have no significant effect on yield, 03, although present at moderately low levels, was probably responsible (alone or synergistically with SO2) for the greatest reduction in seed size and yield.  相似文献

Long term continuous monitoring measurements of urban atmospheric concentrations of O3, NO2, NO, and SO2 were performed for the first time in Ciudad Real, a city in central-southern Spain. The measurements were carried out using the differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) technique, with a commercial system (OPSIS, Lund-Sweden), covering the summer and winter seasons (from 21st July 2000 to 23rd March 2001). Mean levels of O3, NO2 and SO2 monitored during this period were: 27 μg m?3, 50 μg m?3 and 7 μg m?3 respectively. The highest hourly averaged value of O3 (160 μg m?3) was measured during the summer period, while NO2 was enhanced in wintertime (highest values 90 μg m?3). In the coldest period, when central heating installations were operating, SO2 showed maximum levels of 20 μg m?3. The daily, weekly and seasonal analysis of the data shows that photochemical air pollution dominates in this urban atmosphere and is strongly influenced by levels of motor traffic and domestic heating system emissions. These measurements were compared with other studies in Spain and Europe. Also, the long path averaged DOAS measurements were compared with in situ observations made in Ciudad Real, from 23rd August 2000 to 25th September 2000, using a mobile air pollution control station. All gas concentrations reported in this paper are below the WHO guidelines and the different thresholds introduced by the European Environmental Legislation.  相似文献

Sulphur (S) and nitrogen (N) components are of great concern because acidification and eutrophication still remain an important environmental issue in many regions of the world. Continuous monitoring (1981–1999) of S and N components both in air and precipitation in Lithuania (LT) has allowed us to evaluate the regional and temporal variations in relation to the pollutant emission changes. Despite of inter-site variability in concentration of pollutants within the regional scale, data showed a marked decrease in S concentrations both in air and precipitation over the Lithuania as a whole. Non-seasalt sulphate (nssSO4 2?) concentrations in precipitation and air decreased from 2.06 to 0.52 mgS/l and from 3.97 to 1.07 µgS/m3, respectively. The number of acidic (pH<5) precipitation did not exceed 50 % during 1995–1999. The observed trends for S species are consistent with those for sulphur dioxide (SO2) emission in Europe and Lithuania. Although nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration in air decreased by 17 %, significant changes in nitrate (NO3 ?) concentrations neither in precipitation nor in air have been observed. Three-day backward air isobaric trajectories were used for the identification of the source region of air pollutants  相似文献

A simple method to assay inorganic pyrophosphatase activity in soils is described. It involves extraction and colorimetric determination of the orthophosphate (Pi) released when 1 g soil is incubated with buffered (pH 8) pyrophosphate (PPi) solution at 37°C for 5 h. The 1 n H2SO4 used to extract Pi gives quantitative recovery of Pi added to soils, and the colorimetric method used to determine the Pi extracted in the presence of PPi is specific for Pi. The inorganic pyrophosphatase activity of the six soils studied ranged from 50 to 450 μg Pi released·g?1 soil·5 h?1. Steam sterilization (121°C for l h), formaldehyde, fluoride, oxalate, and carbonate inhibited and toluene, Na+, K+, NH+4, Cl?, NO?3, NO?2, SO2?4, and EDTA had no effect on the activity of this enzyme in soils. The initial rates of Pi released obeyed zero-order kinetics. The temperature dependence of the rate constant conformed to the Arrhenius equation up to the point of enzyme inactivation (55°C). The activation energy of pyrophosphatase activity of the six soils studied ranged from 32.5 to 43.2 (av 36.1) kJ·mole?1. Application of the three linear transformations of the Michaelis-Menten equation indicated that the Km values of PPi for pyrophosphatase in four soils ranged from 20 to 51 (avg. 35) mM and that the Vmax ranged from 130 to 830 (av 500) μg Pi released g?1 soil·5 h?1. Studies of other properties of inorganic pyrophosphatase activity in soils are reported.  相似文献

Amending vegetable soils with organic materials is increasingly recommended as an agroecosystems management option to improve soil quality. However, the amounts of NO, N2O, and N2 emissions from vegetable soils treated with organic materials and frequent irrigation are not known. In laboratory-based experiments, soil from a NO 3 ? -rich (340 mg N?kg?1) vegetable field was incubated at 30°C for 30 days, with and without 10 % C2H2, at 50, 70, or 90 % water-holding capacity (WHC) and was amended at 1.19 g?C kg?1 (equivalent to 2.5 t?C ha?1) as Chinese milk vetch (CMV), ryegrass (RG), or wheat straw (WS); a soil not amended with organic material was used as a control (CK). At 50 % WHC, cumulative N2 production (398–524 μg N?kg?1) was significantly higher than N2O (84.6–190 μg N?kg?1) and NO (196–224 μg N?kg?1) production, suggesting the occurrence of denitrification under unsaturated conditions. Organic materials and soil water content significantly influenced NO emissions, but the effect was relatively weak since the cumulative NO production ranged from 124 to 261 μg N?kg?1. At 50–90 % WHC, the added organic materials did not affect the accumulated NO 3 ? in vegetable soil but enhanced N2O emissions, and the effect was greater by increasing soil water content. At 90 % WHC, N2O production reached 13,645–45,224 μg N?kg?1 from soil and could be ranked as RG?>?CMV?>?WS?>?CK. These results suggest the importance of preventing excess water in soil while simultaneously taking into account the quality of organic materials applied to vegetable soils.  相似文献

Abstract

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effects of 2-chloro-6 (trichloromethyl) pyridine (nitrapyrin) and dicyandiamide on nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas, emission from soils amended with ammonium sulfate. In the two experiments, samples of an Andosol and a Gray Lowland soil were kept in glass vessels sealed with a butyl rubber cap and incubated at 25°C. In the first experiment, nitrapyrin (1 µg g?1 dry soil) and dicyandiamide (10 µg g?1 dry soil) were applied to samples of a water-saturated Andosol and a Gray Lowland soil to which ammonium sulfate had been applied at a rate of 0.1 mg N g?1 dry soil. Nitrapyrin decreased N2O emissions from the Andosol and the Gray Lowland soil by 71% and 24%, respectively. Dicyandiamide decreased N2O emissions from the Andosol and Gray Lowland soil by 31% and 18%, respectively. In the second experiment, nitrapyrin (1 µg g?1 dry soil) was applied to samples of an Andosol at 51% water-filled pore space to which ammonium sulfate had been applied at rates of 0.01, 0.1 and 0.5 mg N g?1 dry soil. Nitrapyrin decreased N2O emissions by 62%, 83% and 74%, respectively. Changes in the NH+ 4 and NO? 2 + NO? 3 concentrations in soil showed that nitrapyrin and dicyandiamide slowed down the nitrification process, but did not completely stop the process at any time. The results reveal the potential of nitrification inhibitors to decrease N2O emission from fertilized soil in a wide range of moisture conditions and nitrogen levels.  相似文献

The ionic composition of total suspended particulate (TSP) and fine (PM2.5) fractions was investigated from an 1,100 site in the middle of Mt. Halla in Jeju Island, Korea from March to November 2006. The sum concentrations of cation and anion species in TSP fraction were 205 ± 170 and 183 ± 164 neq m?3, respectively, while those for PM2.5 as 118 ± 129 and 88.5 ± 89.3 neq m?3, respectively. In TSP, the concentration of the major ions changed in the order of SO4 2? > NH4 + > Ca2+ > Na+ > NO3 ? > Mg2+ > K+ > Cl?, while its PM2.5 counterpart as NH4 + > SO4 2? > Ca2+ > NO3 ? > Na+ > Mg2+ > K+ > Cl?. Inspection of the temporal variabilities of ionic components indicated that most ions peaked in spring or fall months. The back trajectory analysis showed that the atmospheric composition of the major ionic species was affected fairly sensitively by long-range transport from China under the favorable meteorological conditions. In contrast, the lowest ionic concentration levels were seen most abundantly, when air masses passed from South Sea. Hence, the analysis of ionic concentration data suggests that their distributions are controlled by the combined effects of various source processes including the most prominent Chinese origin and the meteorological condition favorable for such transport.  相似文献

Rain samples were collected sequentially by amount (≈2.7 mm each) from individual events at a single, relatively isolated, suburban site from August 1977 to July 1980. Rain pH's for ≤ 3 mm samples closely fit a monomodal Gaussian distribution with a median of 4.50 and a standard deviation of 0.39. The variability in pH was primarily interevent as opposed to intraevent. The 3-yr volume-weighted pH was 4.35 ± 0.02 for 3.16 m collected; annual pH's were 4.31, 4.37, and 4.38, and cumulative H+ deposition was 141 mg H+ m?2. Event-averaged rain pH and meteorological and air quality data were correlated. Low pH was associated with low rainfall volume and rate; rain after several dry days; rains with northeast surface winds; high SO2, NO2, and O3 in the ambient atmosphere; and high, strongly correlated, SO4 = and NO3 ? rainwater concentrations. The lowest 3-yr seasonal average pH (4.31) occurred during summer; values for other seasons were ≈4.37. Average intraevent H+ molarity (volume-weighted) was accurately characterized by 6.89 E?5 *(mm ram)?0.215. The relative merits of composite (e.g., whole event) and sequential sampling are examined.  相似文献

Abstract

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions were measured monthly over 1 year in three ecosystems on tropical peatland of Sarawak, Malaysia, using a closed-chamber technique. The three ecosystems investigated were mixed peat swamp forest, sago (Metroxylon sagu) and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations. The highest annual N2O emissions were observed in the sago ecosystem with a production rate of 3.3 kg N ha?1 year?1, followed by the oil palm ecosystem at 1.2 kg N ha?1 year?1 and the forest ecosystem at 0.7 kg N ha?1 year?1. The N2O emissions ranged from –3.4 to 19.7 µg N m?2 h?1 for the forest ecosystem, from 1.0 to 176.3 µg N m?2 h?1 for the sago ecosystem and from 0.9 to 58.4 µg N m?2 h?1 for the oil palm ecosystem. Multiple regression analysis showed that N2O production in each ecosystem was regulated by different variables. The key factors influencing N2O emissions in the forest ecosystem were the water table and the NH+ 4 concentration at 25–50 cm, soil temperature at 5 cm and nitrate concentration at 0–25 cm in the sago ecosystem, and water-filled pore space, soil temperature at 5 cm and NH+ 4 concentrations at 0–25 cm in the oil palm ecosystem. R2 values for the above regression equations were 0.57, 0.63 and 0.48 for forest, sago and oil palm, respectively. The results suggest that the conversion of tropical peat swamp forest to agricultural crops, which causes substantial changes to the environment and soil properties, will significantly affect the exchange of N2O between the tropical peatland and the atmosphere. Thus, the estimation of net N2O production from tropical peatland for the global N2O budget should take into consideration ecosystem type.  相似文献

The present work discusses the startup and operation of different biotrickling filters during the simultaneous removal of NH3, H2S, and ethyl mercaptan (EM) for odor control, focusing on (a) the impact of pH control in the stability of the nitrification processes during reactor startup and (b) the crossed effects among selected pollutants and their by-products. Two biotrickling filters were packed with poplar wood chips (R1 and R2A), while a third reactor was packed with polyurethane foam (R2B). R2A and R2B presented a pH control system, whereas R1 did not. Loads of 2?C10?g N?CNH3 m?3?h?1, 5?C16?g S?CH2S m?3?h?1, and 1?C6?g EM m?3?h?1 were supplied to the bioreactors. The presence of a pH control loop in R2A and R2B proved to be crucial to avoid long startup periods and bioreactors malfunctioning due to biological activity inhibition. In addition, the impact of the presence of different concentrations of a series of N species (NH 4 + , NO 2 ? , and NO 3 ? ) and S species (SO 4 2? and S2?) on the performance of the two biotrickling filters was studied by increasing their load to the reactors. Sulfide oxidation proved to be the most resilient process, since it was not affected in any of the experiments, while nitrification and EM removal were severely affected. In particular, the latter was affected by SO 4 2? and NO 2 ? , while nitrification was significantly affected by NH 4 + . The biotrickling filter packed with polyurethane foam was more sensitive to crossed effects than the biotrickling filter packed with poplar wood chips.  相似文献

The Arctic air mass is a unique meteorological feature of the northern hemispheric atmosphere. Possessing well-defined meteorological characteristics, it occupies not only the polar region but also a large fraction of the Canadian and Eurasian land masses during the period November to April. Poor pollutant removal by precipitation and dry deposition within the air mass and a strong transport pathway between Eurasian mid-latitudinal sources and the north, result in elevated levels of acidic anthropogenic aerosols and gases in the air mass during winter. In summer, weak north/south transport and strong pollutant removal between the Arctic and mid-latitudes and within the Arctic, results in lower airborne concentrations of acidic pollutants. Due to the presence of the relatively polluted Arctic air mass, ‘background’ air concentrations of SO4 =, SO2 and total NO3 ? are elevated in western Canada during winter. Typical mean monthly concentrations from December to March are 0.8 to 2.1, 1.0 to 2.4 and 0.1 ? 0.6 μg m?3, respectively. In the absence of the neutralizing influence of alkaline soil dust, the acidity of snow forming in western Canada during winter is expected to range from 5 to 20 μeq l ?1.  相似文献

The Hg concentrations in coal as fired in power plants in the Netherlands are low, 0.2 mg·kg?1 on average. After combustion the Hg is released partly (between 1 and 98%, on average 42%) in a gaseous phase, which is finally emitted into the air. The other part of the Hg, which remains in the ash is separated from the flue gases by electrostatic precipitators. The variation of the vaporisation percentage of Hg is probably caused by the presence of two chemical forms: Hgo and HgCl2. This may be concluded from the observation that relatively high concentrations of HCl in the flue gases (≈150 mg·m?3) give rise to low Hg concentration in the vapor phase. In cases when the concentrations of HCl are relatively low (≈25 mg·m?3) the amount of Hg in the vapor phase is high. The average gas phase concentrations of Hg in the flue gases, based on 33 measurements with no FGD, is 4.1 μg·mfo ?3. In a wet FGD based on the lime/limestone-gypsum process 50 to 70% of the Hg in the flue gases is removed, leaving a residual concentration of 1–2 μg·mfo ?3. The emission factor is then about 0.5 mg·GJ?1 or 5 μg·kWhr?1. In one particular measuring serie the fate of Hg was studied in a FGD-installation with a prescrubber.  相似文献

Abstract

In the course of a series of studies conducted to investigate the long-term behavior of 129I (which has a half-life of 16 million years) in the environment, seasonal variation in the concentration of stable iodine (127I) in precipitation and soil water to a depth of 2.5 m in a forest plot, an upland field and a paddy field in the upland area of Tsukuba, Japan, were determined. Iodine concentration in precipitation tended to increase during the summer (high air temperature) season and low-rainfall period, and a positive high correlation was observed between annual rainfall and the annual amount of iodine supplied by precipitation. No seasonal variations in iodine concentration in soil water were observed at any depth in the forest plot and upland field unlike at shallow depths (0.2 and 0.5 m) in the paddy field. In the paddy field, from the beginning of summer irrigation, under flooding conditions, iodine concentration in soil water at shallow depths (0.2 and 0.5 m) continuously increased, and immediately before mid-summer (intermittent) drainage and drainage, the maximum iodine concentration (approximately 50 µg L?1) and lowest Eh values (approximately ?150 to ?200 mV) were recorded. These high iodine concentration levels and low Eh values were ascribed to high air temperature (approximately > 25°C on average every 10 days) and the continuation of the groundwater level above the ground surface. As for the temporary winter irrigation period (mean daily air temperature 2?4°C), the iodine concentration was low (1.7–3.7 µg L?1) at all depths, as was the case in the non-irrigation period. After mid-summer drainage, and drainage, the iodine concentration in soil water at depths of 0.2 and 0.5 m decreased drastically as the groundwater level decreased. The mean annual amount of iodine accumulated in the surface soil horizons (0–0.67 m) in the forest plot was estimated to be approximately 2.9 mg m?2 (7.5 µg kg?1 dry soil), which coincided with the mean annual amount of iodine supplied to the earth surface by precipitation. A mildly oxidative subsurface 2Bw horizon (0.60–0.89 m) in the paddy field was estimated to illuviate approximately 3.1 mg m?2 (20 µg kg?1 dry soil) of iodine annually by retaining iodine in the soil water percolated to this horizon.  相似文献
