Investigation of strategies to improve the recycling effectiveness of waste oil from fishing vessels

The marine ecological environment and fishery resources can be severely polluted or destroyed by waste oil from fishing vessels if they are emitted directly into the ocean without any proper pre-treatment process. International conventions such as MARPOL 73/78 regulate waste-oil emissions and require the installation of a waste oil–water separator only for ocean-going ships of over 400 gross tons. Hence, these international conventions are not applicable to most fishing ships due to their low gross tonnages. In addition, space on most fishing vessels is too limited to allow waste-oil storage tanks or a waste oil-water separator to comply with international maritime regulations. Because a significant amount of waste oil is produced by fishing vessels around the world every day, effective strategies or measures are needed to prevent this waste oil from polluting the marine environment. This study thus investigates strategies and measures for improving the effectiveness of waste-oil collection from fishing vessels. This study found that existing procedures for the collection and treatment of waste lubricating oil on land could be applied to the management of waste oil and bilge water from fishing vessels. Sufficient oil–water separators and storage facilities for the collection of waste oil should be placed at each fishing port and shipyard. Fishermen should then be required to deliver their waste oil to these storage facilities, from where it can be transported to legal recycling companies for further treatment. In addition, fishing harbor authorities should bear definitive responsibility for monitoring the illegal dumping of waste oil and for checking the waste-oil record books of fishing vessels. Each maritime country should enforce relevant laws and regulations to reduce the emission of waste oil from fishing vessels into the ocean.     

Atmospheric input of anthropogenic phosphorus to the northwest mediterranean under oligotrophic conditions

Phosphorus (P) concentration in the atmospheric aerosol was measured at a northwestern Mediterranean coastal site. Airborne P ranged between 25 and 85 ng m(-3) (geometric mean: 51 ng m(-3)). Due to a significant contribution (about 90%) of anthropogenic land-based source emissions, dry deposition velocities of 0.1-0.5 cm s(-1) were used to estimate a dry flux of 0.15-0.7 micromol P m(-2) day(-1). The theoretical impact of the dry flux on primary production (0.1-0.4 mg C m(-2) day(-1)) is 50-200-fold lower than that of a single significant wet event. The incineration plant of the Nice district is identified as a possible major source of airborne anthropogenic P. As the implementation of waste plants is currently expanding along the western European shores, the importance of the P atmospheric source to the western Mediterranean is likely to increase with time.     

渤海天津近岸海域水污染特征分析

渤海是一个半封闭的陆架边缘海,是受沿岸人为活动影响最为明显的海域之一[1].陆源污染物的大量排放导致渤海湾局部海域“赤潮”频繁发生,范围不断扩大,自1996年以来共发生了13次“赤潮”,多数发生在7~8月间[2],海域水体富营养化是本海区的主要环境问题[3].

福建省近岸港湾沉积物质量状况

福建省是我国东南沿海省份,地处台湾海峡西岸.位于23°37'～27°10'N,117°11'～120°26'E之间.海域面积为13.6×104km2.其陆岸线总长为3324km.呈东北至西南走向,海岸线曲折多弯,形成了许多天然良港.其港湾沿岸均是福建沿海地区社会经济水平较高地区,是海洋资源开发的龙头产业所在地.近年来,随着改革开放,福建省经济突飞猛进,港口建设、海水养殖等经济迅速发展,港湾的沉积物污染状况日趋变得突出.

虾塘养殖中有机质自身污染速率及程度的研究

利用养殖期间水体中颗粒有机质垂直迁移通量，测定了虾塘自污速率；并以虾塘沉积物的Ｅｈ和Ｃｏｍ值为指标，结合其空间分布形式，初步探讨了虾塘中有机质污染程度。结果表明，新、旧虾塘尤其是不同养殖区域间的自污速率都存在明显差别；而沉积物中Ｅｈ和Ｃｏｍ值的垂直分布形式，则可能成为虾塘有机质污染程度的重要评估参数。     

蒲城水库水质污染与富营养化评价和预测的研究

本文对蒲城水库污染负荷量进行了动态平衡研究,开展了物理、化、学、放射性、水生生物和富营养化等多项指标的监测分析,采用多种方法对水库水质污染现状与富营养化程度作出了综合评价和中、长期预测,提出了水质保护对策。研究结果表明:30年后蒲城水库水质除pH、总锰等个别项目可能超标外,其它水质指标均符合地面水三类标准;总氮、总磷浓度各低于0.40mg/L和0.03mg/L,水库仍将处于中—富营养型。但10年后的夏季总氮、总磷浓度将会分别超过0.50mg/L和0.35mg/L,存在富营养化的危险。     

浮游植物对海水溶油净化作用的初步研究

本文研究了海水中溶油对骨条藻、角毛藻,三角褐指藻、金藻、甲藻、杜氏盐藻的生长影响。结果表明杜氏盐藻、三角褐指藻、甲藻等在含油海水中9天左右达到最高含量,且在17天左右仍维持最高含量,表明这些藻的耐油性较好。这些耐油藻使海水中石油含量下降3—6倍,表明它们对海水中溶油有净化作用。
