The distribution and natural degradation of cyanide in goldmine tailings and polluted soil in arid and semiarid areas

Farmlands and rivers have been seriously polluted by cyanide from a goldmine tailings dam that collapsed in early spring of 1995 in Yining County, Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China. The cyanide distribution in the polluted farmland and the abandoned tailings dam was studied, three and 4 years after the accident occurred. The results indicated that natural degradation of cyanide in soils is slower than in natural water bodies. The cyanide transport in the soil section is similar to freely soluble salts. In arid and semiarid areas, cyanide can be highly enriched in the salt crust in which the concentration is even higher than the fresh tailings debris though cyanide has decomposed for 4 years. In the polluted farmland, the sticky layer in the soil section can highly adsorb and enrich cyanide so it can partly prevent cyanide transfer to groundwater. According to the characteristics of cyanide natural degradation in soil, the measures for prevention and cure of soil polluted by goldmine tailing dam collapse have been discussed.

山西101份天然矿泉水的细菌污染状况分析

本文对１９８７—１９９３年间，山西５０个矿泉水点１０１份饮用天然矿泉水细菌总数和总大肠菌群进行了检验，其中６４份合格，合格率为６３；３７％。表明山西饮用天然矿泉水源受微生物的污染较为严重，污染程度与水源出露形式和季节变化关系不明显，而主要与矿泉水出露环境的防护措施有密切关系。     

铅离子污染对桂林红黏土力学性质影响的试验研究

桂北地区铅锌矿产资源的开采对红黏土土层产生了不同程度的污染,为研究铅离子污染对桂林红黏土力学性质的影响,对其重塑样进行三轴不固结不排水剪切试验,测试获得了不同铅离子浓度、作用时间、围压下的应力-应变关系曲线、弹性模量、抗剪强度参数的变化规律。研究结果表明：铅离子污染对桂林重塑红黏土的力学性质有着显著的影响,随着铅离子浓度的增加,土体力学性质随之衰减,并在浓度最大值（1.0%）时达到最低;铅离子污染红黏土应力-应变曲线均呈硬化型,但是随着铅离子浓度的增大,以及围压的增大,其硬化的趋势均有所减弱;弹性模量、抗剪强度随着浓度的变化有着明显的衰减,但是抗剪强度参数在所选的作用时间梯度内其变化并不明显,说明铅离子污染能够在较短时间内完成对土体结构的主体破坏。     

Groundwater contamination: risk management and assessment for landfills in Mar del Plata, Argentina

 This study presents a program for risk management in the contamination of groundwater resulting from leachate in landfills at Mar del Plata (Argentina). The program includes prediction, prevention, monitory observation and mitigation as actions that must be taken prior to, during, and after contamination occurs. This routine aids in the identification of weak points and failures of the program for those who are in charge of making decisions, and will allow better use of limited financial and technical resources based on planning, thus minimizing disconnected determinations. Results of the prediction stage were confirmed through monitoring. The presence of a plume of contamination more than 100 m from the landfill was shown, thus proving that implementation of a monitoring plan to follow the development of the contaminated plume must be implemented, particularly in populated areas which depend on residential wells for their water supply.

Variations in heavy metals concentrations in Antarctic snows from 1940 to 1980

Concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn have been measured using improved ultraclean procedures in a succession of twenty six snow samples integrating a 40 yr time sequence from 1940 to 1980 which were collected from the walls of a 6 m deep pit at stake D 55 in Adelie Land, East Antarctica. Measured concentrations, which are among the lowest ones ever measured in Antarctic snows, are found not to have significantly increased during the investigated time period, with the possible exception of Pb for which there might have been a significant increase after the mid 1960's. For this last metal, measured concentrations in the 1940's are about 6-fold higher than in Antarctic Holocene ice several thousand years old, which indicates that a large fraction of the anthropogenic increase for Pb probably occurred before the 1940's.     

兰州市城区大气烟尘污染的变化与气象条件分析

利用1961-2001年有烟日观测资料，统计分析了41年中，兰州市城区大气受烟尘污染的变化。结果表明：1961～1984年污染日在119-201天问徘徊；1985-1988年是污染“严重期”，年平均污染日达224天；1996-2001年为显著“好转期”，年平均污染日66天。一年中主要污染段是1月和11、12月，污染日占全年的49％。在污染日，大气水平能见度具有明显的日变化，能见度最差，污染最严重的时间是11～14时。     

吉林市第二松花江江段污染物-NH4+分布特征研究

针对吉林市铁合金厂排污口下游江水的污染情况，设计研究江段，分段、分层取样。通过野外与室内实验，分析研宄了江水污染物的主要成分，并对NH4^ 的纵向、横向、垂向上的分布特征及其影响因素进行了详细研究。结果表明，垂直方向污染物扩散可以瞬时完成，在极短的时间内基本能达到完全混合；在横向和纵向上，岸边排放污染物一般只在近岸扩散，污染范围一般也只在靠近排污口一带；随着离排污口距离增大，污染物浓度降低，横向变化率较纵向大。本研究为排污口的污染物控制与治理、水资源保护提供了科学依据。

基于在线高分辨率示踪技术的岩溶泉污染来源及含水介质特征分析——以重庆黔江区鱼泉坎为例

在线高分辨率示踪技术以其精度高、成本低的特点在岩溶地下水文系统研究方面得到较为广泛的应用。重庆市黔江区鱼泉坎岩溶泉的污染问题导致蓬东乡、五里乡及其周边3 000居民饮水困难,为了确定水源地主要的污染源,选取荧光素钠、天来宝2种示踪剂,应用在线高分辨率示踪技术确定了重庆某畜禽养殖有限公司的化粪池与鱼泉坎泉之间存在水力联系。两种示踪剂的回收率均较低,分别为:荧光素钠3.51%,天来宝2.56%,且两回收曲线存在一定差别,可能与天来宝的水溶性较荧光素钠低有关。基于荧光素钠初现时间和首个峰值出现时间计算的地下水最大流速与平均流速分别为27.09 m/h、22.32 m/h,反映鱼泉坎岩溶孔隙、裂隙较小,化粪池污染渗漏缓慢、运移时间长。示踪剂质量浓度历时曲线表现为多峰型,推断化粪池至鱼泉坎泉段至少存在4条较大的径流通道,表明示踪段表层岩溶泉裂隙发育的相对均匀性。欲恢复鱼泉坎泉的水质,须对该养殖场进行防渗处理或勒令关闭。
