The behaviors and sources of dissolved arsenic and antimony in Bohai Bay

In this paper, we determined the concentrations of antimony species (antimonite (Sb(III)), antimonate (Sb(V)) and dissolved inorganic antimony (DISb)) and arsenic, in Bohai Bay seawaters, as well as the relationships of the analytes with environmental factors such as seawater characteristics (e.g., suspended particulate material (SPM), salinity and total organic carbon (TOC)), heavy metals, nutrients and phytoplankton species, and evaluated the sources of arsenic and antimony. Dissolved arsenic and antimony concentrations in the surface waters were ranging spatially from 1.03 to 1.26 ng/ml and 0.386 to 1.075 ng/ml, with mean values of 1.18 and 0.562 ng/ml, respectively. Sb(V) as the prominent chemical species constituted about 89%. Regarding arsenic concentrations in the surface waters, there was a tendency for a small variation. However, antimony species concentrations were much variable than arsenic. The highest arsenic and antimony concentrations were found near the Haihe Estuary. These distribution patterns were controlled mainly by environmental factors, biological activities and sources. In this region, DISb and Sb(V) negatively correlated with salinity. Besides, arsenic and antimony correlated well with the nutrients, chlorophyll a and phytoplankton, implying that arsenic and antimony had been involved in biological cycling. In addition, according to our estimate, about 333.5×10⁸ mg/year of arsenic and 454.2×10⁸ mg/year of antimony reached Bohai Bay via rivers.     

Spatial distributions and seasonal variations of particulate phosphorus in the Jiaozhou Bay in North China

Based on the measurements of particulate phosphorus(PP) in the Jiaozhou Bay from May 2003 to April 2004,the spatial distribution,seasonal variation and biogeochemical characteristics of PP were investigated to understand the fates and roles of phosphorus in the Jiaozhou Bay ecosystem.The concentration of the total PP ranged from 0.07 to 2.09 μmol/dm3.The concentration of POP was from 0.01 to 1.83 μmol/dm3,with an average of 0.32 μmol/dm3,which accounted for 49.6% in total PP.The concentration of PIP was fro...     

大鹏湾海水中氮和磷的分布变化

依据香港特别行政区环境保护署于1999—2007年106个航次的调查资料,结合国家海洋局南海分局于1998—2007年10个航次的调查资料,简要描述和分析大鹏湾海水中可溶性无机氮(DIN)和可溶性无机磷(DIP)含量的多年平均分布变化。结果表明,DIN和DIP含量均夏、冬季较高,而春、秋季较低;受香港和深圳等陆源排放影响,四季吐露港西部和沙头角海区域的DIN和DIP含量普遍比其他区域高;夏季南澳养殖场附近水域的DIN也明显较高,可能与养殖场的饵料投放有关。大鹏湾海水中平均氮磷原子比大于16,而DIN和DIP的平均含量分别为0.069和0.009 mg/L。夏季,由于外海高盐水的入侵,底层水中DIN和DIP含量明显高于表层。9 a调查期间,大鹏湾香港海区海水中DIN和DIP含量的年际变化呈较明显下降趋势,而氮磷原子比的年际变化则呈上升趋势。     

北海近岸水域浮游植物群落结构及数量周年变化特征

2003年6月至2004年6月对北海近岸海域3个站位的浮游植物进行周年观测。全年共采集到浮游植物69属334种。硅藻为优势类群,共51属305种,占总种数的91.3%,其中以角毛藻属(Chaetoceros)种类最多,共出现35种。甲藻8属12种;绿藻3属8种;蓝藻5属6种;其它藻类2属3种。浮游植物总细胞数的周年均值为2.14×105cells/L,数量变动模式为双峰型,高峰分别出现在夏季和冬季。中肋骨条藻(Skeletonemacostatum)为群落总细胞数中百分比最高的种,占26.61%,是夏秋两季的季节优势种。冬季和春季海区的优势种更替快,每月均有变换。通过对环境因子与浮游植物数量间的回归分析,北海近岸海域浮游植物数量受水温变化的影响最为突出,与营养盐的相关关系因受其它环境因素的影响而有所减弱。     

北太平洋西部和印度洋东部及其邻近海域表层水体中137Cs的分布

对北太平洋西部海域、苏禄海及印尼海、中国南海、印度洋东部海域、孟加拉湾及安达曼海等表层水体中放射性核素137Cs的活度进行了测定。结果表明,上述海域表层水体中137Cs活度显示了较大的变化范围,最低值出现在南极附近的南大洋(1.1Bqm-3),较高的活度值则出现在北太平洋西部海域及中国南海(3Bqm-3)。在所研究水域范围内,137Cs活度的纬度分布特征并没有完全有效地反映出137Cs的全球理论大气沉降趋势及其纬度效应。综合本研究及Miyake等人(1988)的测定结果,我们计算出137Cs自表层海水中的析出速率在苏禄海及印尼海约为0.016/a,在孟加拉湾及安达曼海约为0.033/a,在中国南海约为0.029/a,这一结果明显低于西北太平洋日本沿海表层水体中137Cs的析出速率。这可能是因为在这些海域,横向及纵向的水体混合过程相对都较慢,而且颗粒物对137Cs的吸附析出过程也比较弱所致。
