松花江冰封期江水和沉积物中汞形态研究

2005年12月中、下旬对松花江哈达湾至佳木斯江段冰封期江水和沉积物进行了采样与分析。结果表明,江水总汞质量浓度为29.74~136.88 ng/L,均值为50.21 ng/L,以悬浮颗粒态为主(53.38%~85.99%)。沉积物总汞的质量分数介于0.013~1.543 mg/kg之间,与铁、锰和有机碳含量呈显著正相关;运用连续化学浸提法,对哨口至松原江段沉积物汞的形态进行了分析,沉积物汞主要以碱溶态、强有机质结合态和残渣态存在,可交换态和盐酸溶态汞的比例较小,仅占总汞的0.91%~33.7%。研究发现,沉积物再悬浮作用是影响松花江冰封期江水悬浮颗粒态汞及总汞空间分布的主要因子,沉积物汞释放是一个缓慢长期的过程。     

冷原子吸收法测定微量汞

近年来,由于汞的污染造成了很大的公害,因而需要建立微量汞的简单而快速的测定方法。在现有的分析汞的方法里,能适应这个要求的并不多。在多数标准分析方法中采用的是双硫腙分光光度法,但此法灵敏度低,不适于测定10~(-6)克以下的汞量;而火焰原子吸收法,测汞的灵敏度也较低。利用无焰原子吸收法测定微量汞是目前最好的方法。我们采用理学(Rigaku)SP 汞分析仪就是利用无焰原子吸收法测定     

西藏鄂雅错盐湖砷和汞的分布特征研究

本研究对西藏鄂雅错盐湖和主要支流中不同形态的砷(亚砷酸盐As(Ⅲ)、砷酸盐As(Ⅴ)、一甲基砷酸MMA、二甲基砷酸DMA)和总汞(THg)含量进行了测定,并与主要水质参数进行相关性分析研究,结果表明鄂雅错盐湖As主要以As(Ⅴ)形态存在,其次分别为As(Ⅲ)、DMA和MMA,其中无机砷的含量明显大于有机砷。相比较其他砷的形态,盐湖中As(Ⅲ)与主要水质参数的相关性显著,与总溶解性固体(TDS)、总溶解态氮(DTN)呈显著的强正相关性,与水温、溶解氧 (DO)、氧化还原电位(Eh)、pH呈显著负相关性。总汞浓度较低,且与主要水质参数相关性不显著。通过风险评价发现鄂雅错湖水中砷存在一定的致癌健康风险,汞不存在风险。本研究丰富了西藏盐湖和支流水体中砷、汞分布特征及其环境影响因素的认识,对于环境保护具有一定的意义。     

34000年以来南极汞沉降通量的估算

本文统计分析了南极DomeC冰芯中汞含量和降水指征参数δ1 8O值、1 0 Be浓度的关系 ,发现冰芯中Hg含量和δ1 8O值、1 0 Be浓度变化一致 ,表明DomeC冰芯汞含量受到冰雪积累率的影响 ,而且三者变化的高度同步性可能说明其原始驱动力也是一致的 ,从而冰芯中Hg含量可以和1 0 Be浓度一样作为冰雪积累率估算的替代性指标。此外 ,利用δ1 8O数据 ,系统估算了 340 0 0年以来南极汞沉降通量的变化。结果表明 ,DomeC冰芯汞沉降通量在末次冰盛期 (LGM)最高 ,为 3.80pgcm- 2 a- 1 ,约是全新世汞沉降通量 ( 1 .0 8pgcm- 2 a- 1 )的 3.5倍 ,该变化可能主要受到汞的自然排放量影响。     

辽河口湿地土壤中汞、砷分布特征及风险评价

通过测定辽河口三道沟和笔架岭光滩、碱蓬(Suaeda salsa)沼泽和芦苇(Phragmites australis)沼泽土壤汞和砷含量,分析了辽河口不同类型湿地土壤汞和砷的垂直分布规律,并进行了风险评价。研究结果表明,2015年11月3日和2016年5月16日,三道沟湿地土壤汞和砷平均质量比分别为0.038 mg/kg和9.13 mg/kg;笔架岭湿地土壤汞和砷平均质量比分别为0.059 mg/kg和10.77 mg/kg。三道沟各类型土壤汞和砷含量明显低于笔架岭。笔架岭的芦苇沼泽和碱蓬沼泽土壤汞含量从表层向下逐渐增大,芦苇沼泽土壤砷含量从表层向下逐渐减小,而光滩和碱蓬沼泽0~10 cm深度土壤砷含量总体由表层向下逐渐减小。三道沟和笔架岭各类型湿地土壤汞和砷的I_(geo)指数都为负数,污染等级都是清洁;潜在生态风险指数结果表明,三道沟和笔架岭湿地土壤汞和砷的潜在生态风险较低。     

陕西旬阳县公馆汞锑矿床地质特征及控矿条件分析

文章论述了旬阳县公馆汞锑矿床的地质特征,分析了控矿因素及其成因类型,认为汞锑矿床严格受构造和下泥盆统公馆组第一岩性段的白云岩控制,同时还受浅水陆棚相沉积环境及热液活动的控制,属沉积—改造层控低温热液矿床。     

对内蒙古自治区斑岩型钼矿成矿规律的几点认识

内蒙古地区的斑岩型钼矿,多处于大陆板块边缘,根据其岩浆特点及矿石品位(辉钼矿品位很少超过0.25%)等特征,大体归类于钙碱性型斑岩钼矿。其成矿母岩多为钙碱性及高钾钙碱性岩浆系列。钼以辉钼矿的形式赋存于网状石英—辉钼矿细脉、石英—辉钼矿大脉或以叶片状或叶片状集合体分散于岩体中。与钼铜成矿关系密切的蚀变主要是硅化、钾长石化、绢云母及云英岩化。     

五里河城市河道湿地汞的特征

提出了城市河道湿地——一种新湿地类型的概念,论述了辽宁省葫芦岛市市区五里河城市河道湿地的生态特征,研究了五里河城市河道湿地沉积物和植被中汞的分布特征,采用生态风险指数法评价了该城市河道湿地沉积物中汞污染程度及其生态风险。五里河属季节性河流,葫芦岛市市区段的五里河河道不同的生态位生长着不同类型的植被,具有典型的湿地特征。河道湿地表层沉积物的总汞质量比为0.037～16.07mg/kg,平均质量比为9.241mg/kg。在该城市河道湿地龙湾大桥采样点,比较3种植物的总汞含量发现,三棱草(Rhizomacy-peri)的总汞含量高于稗草(Echinochloa crusgalli),稗草的总汞含量高于芦苇(Phragmites australis)。3种植物都存在根的总汞含量大于叶,叶的总汞含量大于茎的现象。由于水文和地域等条件的差异,五里河城市河道湿地与三江平原的碟形沼泽湿地汞的分布特征明显不同。评价结果显示,五里河城市河道湿地有重度的汞污染且具有严重的潜在生态危害。     

鸟类在湿地汞循环和汞监测中的作用

湿地被称为汞的活性库,鸟类在汞的生物富集和搬运过程中发挥了重要作用。鸟类汞富集程度与营养级及年龄呈正相关,在其组织器官中,羽毛、肝和肾中的汞富集含量高。食鱼鸟类是湿地生态系统的顶级消费者,汞富集程度最高,鸥类、鹭类等常见食鱼鸟是推荐的指示生物。在极地等偏远地区,生物富集和生物搬运的协同作用对汞迁移的影响大于大气沉降,粪便、羽毛是鸟体排出汞的主要方式。由于鸟类的周期性迁徙,以及对不同生境的利用强度不同,鸟类对汞的生物搬运呈现出明显的规律性和方向性,影响其生物搬运汞的因素主要有新陈代谢、迁徙、栖息地景观特征和气候变化等。鸟类的组织器官乃至种群参数已经被广泛用于汞污染监测中,鸟的羽毛和卵因具有汞富集程度高、易于获取、无损伤性、可以长期保存等优点,所以是推荐的可以采集的样品材料。未来加强鸟类食物链结构分析、室内控制毒理实验、鸟类迁徙生态等基础研究,可提高鸟类作为汞污染指示生物的科学性和准确性。     

湖南凤凰茶田汞矿区土壤-水稻系统中汞的传输及其健康风险

通过野外系统采样和室内分析,研究了湖南凤凰县茶田汞矿区耕层土壤及水稻中Hg的含量分布以及土壤-水稻系统中Hg的传输和分配。结果表明:由于地质成因和人为采选矿活动导致矿区土壤及作物中Hg大量富集,与对照区相比,矿区耕作土壤、稻根、稻秆、稻米中Hg平均含量分别增加了267.6倍、8.6倍、5.8倍和2.3倍。土壤中的有机-硫化态Hg同稻根、稻秆、稻米中Hg含量间均呈现显著正相关性,但整体而言,Hg由土壤→稻根以及稻根→稻米的富集/迁移系数较低,移动性弱。矿区稻米Hg平均含量为0.09±0.04μg/g,与国家粮食卫生标准(GB2762–2005)的限值(0.02μg/g)相比,超标达4.5倍。当地居民终生平均每天摄入的Hg量为0.75μg/(kg.d),超过WHO推荐的可耐受剂量[0.71μg/(kg.d)],面临较大的健康风险。对矿区中多种元素研究发现,稻米中Hg、Pb、Se共同富集,其复合污染机制的研究亟待开展。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
