Potential of marble dust to stabilise red tropical soils for road construction

The potential of marble dust as a stabilizing additive to red tropical soils was evaluated. The evaluation involved the determination of the geotechnical properties of three different red tropical soils in their natural state as well as when mixed with varying proportions of marble dust. The parameters tested included the particle size distribution, specific gravity, Atterberg limits, the standard compaction characteristics, the compressive strength and the California bearing ratio (CBR). The strength tests were repeated after normal 28 day curing of the treated samples and also after accelerated 24 h curing at temperatures of 40°C, 60°C and 80°C.

Results showed that the geotechnical parameters of red tropical soils are improved substantially by the addition of marble dust; plasticity was reduced by 20 to 33% and strength and CBR increased by 30 to 46% and 27 to 55% respectively. The highest strength and CBR values were achieved at 8% marble dust. Results also showed that normal 28 day curing improved the strength of the marble dust-treated soil with over 80% strength gain achieved after 7 to 10 days of normal curing. Higher strength development was realised following accelerated 24 h curing at 60°C.

Although these results imply marked improvement in the geotechnical parameters of red tropical soils, the higher strength developed is not enough for the improved soil to be used as a base material in the construction of heavily trafficked flexible pavements. The improved material may, however, be successfully used as base material for lightly trafficked roads and as a sub-base material for heavily trafficked roads.     

Atmospheric ultrafine aerosol number concentration and its correlation with vehicular flow at two sites in the western Himalayan region: Kullu-Manali,India

The concentration of ultrafine aerosol particles of aitken and nucleation mode having size in the range of 1–20 nm was monitored with water-based Condensation Particle Counter. The monitoring was carried out from midnight-to-midnight in every alternate day on a fortnightly basis to represent summer, monsoon and winter (autumn) seasons of 2008 at Mohal (1154 m amsl) and Kothi (2530 m amsl) in Kullu-Manali area of the northwestern Himalayan region of India. The results indicate that diurnal pattern has faint bimodal structure with two peaks, one in morning and the other in evening at both the sites but it is not as distinct as found in plains. There is rather a constant particle density pattern of large magnitude consistent with vehicular movement from morning till evening. The monthly 24 h average particle density gradually picks up from January, increases rapidly in summer months and then decreases in monsoon season at Mohal but at Kothi it keeps on rising from April to October with a slight more increase in September. The particle density is more in summer than in monsoon season at Mohal, a trend opposite to plains. It may be due to the development of warm thermal layer on valley floor while a cold layer develops along snowy hilltops in winter leading to convection of fine particle up the slopes of valley during daytime. At Kothi, the trend is same as it is in continental plains but opposite to Mohal. The relatively more value of particle density in September and October at both the sites may be due to month long International Kullu Dussehra fair in the valley. The vehicular survey conducted agrees well with entire study period averaged diurnal variations and monthly 24 h averaged value of fine particle density. The average value of ultrafine particle density at each hour of a day for entire study period is 20369 ± 1230 Ncm^− 3 and 14389 ± 1464 Ncm^− 3 at Mohal and Kothi sites, respectively. The comparison with earlier results shows a significant increase indicating impact of vehicular onslaught on pure air of this hilly region.     

黄土粉尘搬运过程的动力学物理模型

通过对黄土粉尘重力沉降过程的动力学分析,给出了黄土粉尘粒度分布的数学表达,讨论了粉尘沉积通量随搬运距离、粒径变化的物理过程,首次确定了估算粉尘搬运距离和风力强度的计算方法,为区分粉尘搬运距离和风力强度对粒度的影响及其它们在冰期间冰期中的差异提供了物理学的判别依据。分析结果表明： 1)在重力沉降作用下,粉尘沉降通量随搬运距离的变化服从几何分布,具有沉降通量随搬运距离的增加迅速减小,越粗的粉尘颗粒其沉降通量初值越大,同时下降速度也越迅速的特点; 2)如果用携粉尘气流的水平通量作代表风力强度,则粉尘搬运距离与粒度分布曲线上重力沉降部分最高点的粉尘沉降通量成反比,风力强度与该点对应粒径的平方和粉尘搬运距离成正比。因此,根据该点的粉尘沉降通量和对应粒径,可以估算粉尘的搬运距离和风力强度。根据上述理论对渭南阳郭中学S0～L1黄土－古土壤剖面进行了粉尘搬运距离和风力强度的估算： 首先,从粒度分布中提取出3个对数正态分布的独立组份; 然后利用粗粒组份的参数计算粉尘搬运距离和风力强度。分析结果表明粉尘搬运距离具有冰期近、间冰期远的特点,风力强度的变化则具有冰期弱、间冰期强的特点,LGM时段的风力强度比MIS 3阶段大,但小于全新世适宜期,而LGM时期粉尘搬运距离并未明显减小,因此,可能黄土粒度的变化并非反映了冬季风的变化,而是反映了夏季风的变化,夏季风是通过影响粉尘源区来影响粉尘粒度的变化。

Use of environmental magnetic techniques to monitor urban pollution origins in Lanzhou, Northwest China

In this study, samples of dustfall collected monthly or semi-monthly, during 1997–1999, at two representative sites (Kexueguan: KLD and Gaolanxan: GLX) in Lanzhou, a typical industrial city in northwestern China, have been examined using environmental magnetic measurements. A set of magnetic parameters of 50 dustfall samples were analysed. Results demonstrate that Lanzhou City is heavily polluted, with the main pollution sources being anthropogenic activities and natural dust. The former poses a threat to human health all the year, which is different from the general opinion that natural dust is the main source of pollution in summer. This study extended the application of environmental magnetic techniques and can be regarded as a progressive step in exploring urban pollution problems using environmental magnetic techniques. The results from the present study have an important implication on the design of future urban pollution control strategies in Lanzhou, and the method could be applied to other urban cities in the world.     

Magnetic evidence of anthropogenic dust deposition in urban soils of Shanghai,China

The magnetic particulates from anthropogenic activities can be detected by magnetic methods rapidly and cost-effectively. This study focused on the investigation of vertical variations in magnetic properties in soil profiles and magnetic enhancement originating in Baoshan, Shanghai. Also the feasibility of using arable and urban park soils as a new context for magnetic monitoring was explored. A combination of magnetic and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) techniques was applied to three soil profiles. Non-pedogenic magnetic enhancement in topsoil was recorded at all three sites accompanied by coarsening of magnetic grain size. The dominant magnetic properties reflect multi-domain (MD) and pseudo-stable single domain (PSD) ferrimagnetic minerals. Both of magnetic concentrations and grain size decrease with the depth, depending on the pollutant input, soil type and degree of vertical mixing. SEM images confirmed the presence of anthropogenic particulates fly-ash. It was concluded from this study that topsoil magnetic enhancement arising from atmospheric contaminants was readily identifiable in both arable fields and urban parks, thus broadening the scope of magnetic research on urban and industrial pollution.     

Use of rare earth element patterns to trace the provenance of the atmospheric dust near Beijing, China

Atmospheric dust is one of the important indicators of urban air quality. In this study, atmospheric dust and topsoil samples were collected monthly from four sites in Beijing and surrounding areas, and analyzed for rare earth elements (REEs). Total REE concentrations (∑REE) in the dusts ranged from 43.10 to 164.43 mg kg^?1; concentrations in Beijing and Miyun were higher than those in Zhangbei and Fengning. Most of sampling sites showed the same seasonal depletion in dust ∑REE concentrations in summer, probably caused by the “dilution effect” of added organic matter in summertime samples. Most of the dusts have consistent Ce-anomaly (Ce/Ce*) values (0.91–1.00) and Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu*) values (0.93–1.36); some dusts show slight positive Eu anomalies. The REE patterns of both the dusts and topsoils (normalized to post-Archean shales from Australia, PASS) show different signatures at different sites, whereas the temporal patterns are consistent at each site. These results suggest that local topsoils are likely to be the main provenance of the dusts in the study area.     

安徽省大气颗粒物污染特征分析

对2016年全年颗粒物监测浓度数据进行统计分析,得到了安徽省颗粒物污染的空间分布、浓度和粒径,以及污染传输特征。结果表明,淮河以北、沿江和江淮之间、长江以南和皖南山区城市颗粒物污染随地理位置不同表现出明显的区域化特征,污染程度由北向南减轻,污染过程明显表现出由北向南逐步扩散传输的规律,污染程度越重,污染深入南方的范围越广,持续时间也越长。冬季污染较重的城市,上午出现明显的高浓度时段,全天变化为"双峰双谷"型。夏、秋季节夜间细颗粒物(PM_2.5)浓度贡献比增加。PM_2.5与PM₁₀(可吸入颗粒物)质量浓度比值冬季最高,春季较低。污染重的城市冬季PM_2.5占比高。     

Particulate matter source apportionment in Cairo: recent measurements and comparison with previous studies

This paper presents results of an atmospheric particulate matter (PM) monitoring and source apportionment study conducted during summer and fall 2010 in Cairo. These results are compared to those of similar studies in 1999 and 2002. Concentrations of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ mass and their chemical constituents were determined and chemical mass balance modeling was conducted to estimate the source contributions to ambient PM. Emphasis was placed on characterizing the long-term trends in atmospheric lead (Pb) concentrations and their sources in Cairo. PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ concentrations were highest during fall 1999 at four of the five study sites. This was also the case for open (vegetative/trash) burning contributions, which showed a smaller increase during fall 2010. Burning of agricultural waste after the fall harvest continues to be a major source of PM in Cairo. Both PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ mass decreased dramatically at Shobra, an industrial site, from 1999 to 2010. A reduction of lead smelting has resulted in a decrease of ambient Pb concentrations of up to two orders of magnitude from 1999 to 2010 at Shobra, El-Zamalek, and El-Qualaly. From 1999 to 2010, the mobile source contribution has been relatively stable at most of the study sites. Future efforts to reduce ambient PM should focus on controlling emissions from motor vehicles and open burning and implementing mitigation strategies for reducing resuspended road and construction dust.     

The effects of Typhoon Morakot on concentration of airborne particulates derived from unvegetated riverbanks

Landslides frequently occur during large earthquakes and storms in Taiwan, supplying large volumes of sediment to downslope areas. When coupled with the intense northeast monsoon over Taiwan in the dry winter season, this can lead to high concentrations of airborne particulates that are hazardous to human health. Air quality monitoring stations near unvegetated riverbanks recorded high concentrations of particulate matter less than 10 μm (PM₁₀) after Typhoon Morakot in 2009. The objective of this study was, therefore, to analyze the effects on air quality of sediment caused by the typhoon. A deflation module was simulated, and the resulting estimates were compared with observed data from the Taitung monitoring station for 2004 and 2005. The relationship of dust flux to average atmospheric dust concentration was analyzed for October to December 2001–2010. Analysis showed that the 2001–2008 data are highly correlated (0.78) with the average concentration. The intercept of 28.07 represented the background concentration with no dust emission, from October to December of 2001–2008. Based on the dust flux potential in 2009, the average yearly PM₁₀ concentration would be 37.98 µg/m³; however, the measured concentration was 61.67 µg/m³ from October to December. This suggests the strong influence of dust re-suspended from unvegetated riverbanks by Typhoon Morakot.     

不同粒级组分碳酸盐与碳同位素分布特征及其对风尘物源的指示意义

在科尔沁沙地采集沙地表土样品16组,松嫩平原杜蒙沙地样品15组,同期还收集了城市道路表土样品10组,对各组样品进行粒度分级（全样、>63 μm、63~30 μm、30~11 μm和<11 μm）,分别测定碳酸盐含量和碳同位素组成。结果显示,不同区域不同性质样品各粒级组分碳酸盐含量的变化幅度不同,科尔沁沙地最小（0.8%）,其次为杜蒙沙地（1.9%）,道路表土最大（2.7%）。大部分杜蒙沙地样品（66.7%）和小部分科尔沁沙地样品（37.5%）以及全部道路表土样品的碳酸盐含量随粒度变细而增大,且变化模式各不相同。碳酸盐含量随粒度变细而增高是非匀速的,先是增幅较大（>63 μm→63~30 μm→30~11 μm）,后增幅较小（30~11 μm→<11 μm）。沙地样品碳酸盐含量与粒度的关系并不限于随粒度变细而增大这一种,风成砂和经历过强烈成壤作用改造的沙地样品中的碳酸盐含量与粒度的关系皆表现为随粒度变细而减小,沉积物中碳酸盐含量随粒径变细而增高是否是一种普遍规律还需要更多区域的更多样品来检验。大部分沙地样品和道路表土样品不同粒级组分的碳酸盐δ13C值变化范围较小（<1.8‰）,并表现出随粒度变细而趋于偏正的特征,但变化幅度很小。杜蒙沙地和科尔沁沙地碳酸盐含量的地区差异性极不明显,且各粒级组分碳酸盐含量的变化幅度大大超过了杜蒙沙地与科尔沁沙地的碳酸盐差异值,不能作为区分杜蒙沙地和科尔沁沙地风尘源区的示踪指标;而科尔沁沙地和杜蒙沙地碳酸盐δ13C组成存在明显差异（在63~30 μm粒级组分表现最为明显）,且不同粒级组分碳酸盐δ13C值差别较小,说明它是一个比碳酸盐含量更好的风尘源区示踪指标,但是不同粒级组分碳酸盐δ13C组成的差异会随离中国西部沙漠沙地风尘源区距离的加大或者风尘物质成壤作用的增强而变大,增加其风尘源区示踪的复杂性。     

Cold and warm air temperature spells during the winter and summer seasons and their impact on energy consumption in urban areas

The main objective of this study is to determine and analyze cold and warm air temperature spells in the last 6 years (2007–2012) and reveal their impact on electrical energy consumption in a small-sized city such as Sombor (Serbia) with less than 50,000 inhabitants. Hourly air temperature values and electrical energy consumption data have been used as database for all methods. Warm and cold temperature spells (during heat and cold waves) have had the increasing tendencies in the last 6 years and they reflect on additional electrical energy consumption. Detailed analysis showed that higher energy demands occur during workdays and daytime period. Monitoring of the amount of consumed energy showed a clear relationship during the winter cold temperature spells, when electrical energy demand was higher than 0.3 MW. In summer period, the relationship was weaker and consumption was higher than 0.15 MW only when temperature exceeded 30 °C. A small number of air condition devices in houses and companies and mainly one-store buildings with thick walls, which make a good insulation from the outside air temperatures, are probably the main reasons for the above-mentioned results in summer. This paper introduces a new method to resolve the problem of short-term load forecasting, based on the support vector machines (SVM) technology and particle swarm optimization that has been used to optimize the SVM parameters. Similar-day-based forecast has shown that similar days for training should be filtered also using classifier of temperature period (cooling degree-days or heating degree-days in a row). Forecasting error is smaller compared to solutions where similar days are found only on season and temperature.     

Fungal air contamination in distinct sites within a municipal landfill area

Municipal wastes collected in landfills are a significant source of air contamination and frequently characterize by elevated concentrations of different fungi. Posing a serious health threat to landfill workers and local residents, the fungal aerosol has to be monitored with respect to its quantity and quality. In this study, concentrations of airborne fungi, their particle size distribution, species composition and the presence of cytotoxic strains of Aspergillus fumigatus were assessed in different sites within the landfill area. The quantitative and qualitative changes in the fungal aerosol were determined with respect to a season and landfill activity level (i.e. exploitation or standstill periods). Within the landfill area, particular sites were grouped with regard to airborne fungi concentrations and similarities in species composition. The qualitative analysis indicated that 43 species were shared during both sampling times, and only nine species were characteristic for the standstill period. Among fungal isolates, 21 strains of A. fumigatus revealed cytotoxic activity expressed at different levels, depending on the fungal extract concentrations used in the MTT assay. The results suggested that exposure (especially in summer) to small airborne particles, containing distinct species, may occur not only in the active sector but also in close vicinity to the landfill. Hence, microbial monitoring of the landfill and surrounding area should be carried out taking into account both quantitative aspect supplemented by size distribution analysis and qualitative features, especially of those strains possessing cytotoxic activity.     

Testing for Sediment Acidification Effects on Within-Season Variability in Juvenile Soft-Shell Clam (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Mya arenaria</Emphasis>) Abundance on the Northern Shore of the Bay of Fundy

Soft-shell clams (Mya arenaria) can serve important ecological roles in intertidal mudflats and are an important economic and recreational resource in the northwestern Atlantic. However, environmental factors affecting newly-settled and juvenile clam abundances within a given settlement season remain uncertain. We conducted a field study assessing relationships between juvenile soft-shell clam abundance and spatial, temporal, and environmental variables in coastal mudflats of the northern shore of the Bay of Fundy. Sediment pH and low-tide water temperature (tide pools) were monitored in situ on a biweekly–monthly basis over the course of the M. arenaria settlement season in 2012 at four study sites to quantify diel variation in sediment pH and temperature. Core samples were also collected to quantify M. arenaria (<6 mm) abundance. Sea-surface and air temperature, and in situ sediment pH and water temperature were then used to predict clam abundance. Sediment pH was spatially and temporally variable, while in situ temperature was stable and declined over the sampling season. Akaike’s information criterion model selection indicated that models incorporating site, date, and air temperature best predicted 2012 recruitment patterns in linear models when all variables were included. When only environmental variables were included, the best linear model included minimum air temperature and sediment pH. When data were averaged across dates for each site to remove potential temporal effects, mean clam abundance displayed a significant positive relationship with sediment pH and sediment grain size, but not minimum air temperature. The results of this study suggest that sediment pH and/or sediment grain size may influence within-season juvenile soft-shell clam abundances across mudflats in the Bay of Fundy. Field experiments at the same (or similar) sites are now needed to confirm the mechanism driving the observed relationships.     

Sr and Nd isotope compositions of atmospheric mineral dust at the summit of Mt. Sefuri, north Kyushu, southwest Japan: A marker of the dust provenance and seasonal variability

We analyzed Rb-Sr-Nd isotope ratios of mineral dust in total aerosol load collected with rainwater continuously from 1998 to 2006 at the summit of Mt. Sefuri, northern Kyushu, southwestern Japan. During this period, the total mass of the dust generally increased in late winter, peaked in early spring, and then decreased.⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr in atmospheric mineral dust varied from 0.7096 to 0.7180, and εNd(0)_CHUR from −19.9 to −3.5. During heavy deposition periods, the dust had high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope ratios and low to middle εNd(0)_CHUR values, respectively. These compositions are comparable to those of sand and loess in arid areas of Northeast China, Takla Makan and Western Beijing. Such particles were transported by westerlies from those areas to northern Kyushu in winter and spring. In summer and autumn, the isotopic compositions of the dust varied greatly; however, during light deposition periods, the Sr isotope composition was low. In these seasons, the contributions to the dust from Japanese soils and volcanic ash, transported by southern winds, were relatively larger than in winter and spring because of decreased mineral dust particle transport from the continent. Nevertheless, fine sandy desert particles and loess in general accounted for most mineral dust deposition in northern Kyushu year-round, even in summer. Local soils derived from weathered granite and volcanic ash were minor components only.The net mass of water-insoluble inorganic matter in the collected mineral dust fluctuated from year-to-year; deposition on Mt. Sefuri was relatively large before 2001, decreased from 2002 to 2005, and increased greatly in spring 2006. These year-to-year differences probably reflected changes in the strength of the westerlies and in climate conditions in the arid source areas.     

Geochemistry of aerosols of northwestern part of India adjoining the Thar desert

The northwestern part of India, which includes the Thar desert on its western side, is a hot and arid region with intense aeolian activity and transport of aerosols by the prevailing SW-W summer winds. Different size fractions of aerosols (free fall = FF, suspended particulate matter = SPM, PM₁₀ = <10 μm, and >10 μm) from air were sampled simultaneously at four locations along the dominant wind trajectory for ∼600 km. These aerosols and deposited surface sediments were characterized for their texture, mineralogy and geochemistry including REE and Sr isotopes. Within each size fraction, a bimodal distribution of grain size was observed. Quartz is the dominant mineral followed by K-feldspar, mica, calcite, chlorite and plagioclase. Garnet, amphibole, titanite and zircon are some of the identified heavy minerals. All samples, particularly those collected during summer, are compositionally homogeneous, including in their REE geochemistry, and are similar to average upper continental crust (UCC). However, in the winter aerosol samples, large deviations from the UCC composition are observed. This is attributed to meteorological parameters such as low wind velocity and temperature inversions in the winter season. During winter, secondary non-silicate and anthropogenic materials become important sources to Ca, Na, Mg, K, Ba and Ni budget; also reduction in the uptake and transport of heavy minerals lowered the concentration of Ti, Zr, Y, Cr, and REE in the aerosols. Geochemical coherence among aerosols, deposited surface sediments and the Thar sands, and the limited Sr isotopic data indicate that the Thar sediments and certain lithotectonic units of the Himalayan orogen are the proximal and distal crustal sources, respectively, for the aerosols in this region. Prevailing aridity and strong summer winds, and the presence of river alluvium in the Thar act together to transport silt rich dust, the removal of which could be a possible mechanism of ongoing desertification.     

Household dust and street sediment as an indicator of recent heavy metals in atmospheric emissions: a case study on a previously heavily contaminated area

Determination of the origin of heavy metals in the household dust and street sediment in a previously heavily contaminated area was carried out. The main question addressed was the origin of heavy metals in dry and wet air deposits measured in the environmental monitoring programme of the community of Celje. There are two possible sources: present atmospheric emissions by industries in Celje and dusting of previously heavily contaminated soil. Determination of the present emissions was done on the basis of a method based on enrichment factor calculations. Samples of soil, street sediment and household dust in the contaminated area and in a non-contaminated sampling point were analysed. Expected heavy metal concentrations in household dust and street sediment in the previously heavily polluted area according to the level of measured soil contamination were calculated. Expected and measured values were compared to detect possible present atmospheric emissions. The data show higher enrichment with elements related to ironworking activities (Fe, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni) in household dust and street sediment, according to the concentrations in the soil in the vicinity of ironworks in comparison to the reference point. Similar observations can be made at the sampling point, east of a factory producing TiO₂-based white pigment for Ti, because emissions from it are expected. In contrast, the same trend is not observed for elements related to pollution problems in Celje (Cd, Zn, Pb). This indicated that street sediment and household dust might be a good tracer of present atmospheric emissions, despite the fact that the environment was previously highly contaminated. The method yields good results, which fit very well with expectations.
