Assessing terrestrial wildlife populations in the Toronto and Region Area of Concern

Beneficial use impairments (BUIs) under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement identify environmental issues requiring remedial action within the Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOCs). We conducted this study to support the assessment of the wildlife component of BUI 3: degradation of fish and wildlife populations. We compared bird and amphibian (frogs and toads) data from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Terrestrial Long-term Monitoring Program in the Toronto and Region AOC to an adjacent, but otherwise similar, reference watershed, Duffins Creek. Twelve of 13 targets were met within the AOC for forest bird, wetland bird, meadow bird and amphibian populations based on averages of mean annual values at sites within the AOC that were within two standard deviations of averages at sites in the Duffins Creek reference watershed between 2008 and 2017. Even though wildlife populations within the AOC were within the normal range of variability expected from a reference watershed, they were often at lower levels than within the Duffins Creek reference watershed. In addition, forest bird and amphibian populations were negatively affected by urbanization within the AOC and meadow bird indices declined. We conclude that while wildlife populations within the AOC currently meet targets for BUI 3, they continue to be negatively impacted by numerous stressors that are primarily related to past and ongoing urbanization. Thus, continued restoration of wildlife habitat and protection of existing habitat within the AOC is highly recommended.     

苏州市景观水体表观污染类型识别及特征指标筛选

妫水河入官厅水库水污染成因及减排措施评估

为保障妫水河入官厅水库入流水质达标,分析水质成因,分步制订水质改善措施。采用MIKE21耦合植物作用的Ecolab生态水质模型,对妫水河下游入官厅水库断面至东大桥断面、支流三里河水域进行模拟。通过对丰水期和枯水期监测数据及模拟结果进行分析,流域上游来流水量及水质、区间污染源及河流湿地等自净作用是影响官厅水库入流水质的主要原因,其中:妫水河入流污染负荷对水库入流水质贡献率最大,丰枯水期氨氮、总磷和总氮的贡献率分别为18.32%～45.76%、9.31%～31.17%和29.34%～67.56%;区间入河污染源氨氮、总磷和总氮削减率分别为19.41%、31.31%和24.94%;丰枯水期河道自净对氨氮、总磷和总氮削减率分别为44.85%～61.29%、51.40%～77.92%和8.40%～23.06%。为改善官厅水库入流水质,在流经城市区的妫水河下游及三里河修建了河流湿地公园,对区域污染源进行截污,使得入库水质可达到Ⅲ类水。为长远确保官厅水库的水质,控制来流水质和加强流域治理是关键,同时营造岸带湿地,对水质改善有积极的作用。研究结果及方法可为水库污染防治及负荷量削减提供理论依据。     

An artificial neural network model for the effects of chicken manure on ground water

In the areas where broiler industry is located, poultry manure from chicken farms could be a major source of ground water pollution, and this may have extensive effects particularly when the farms use nearby ground water as their fresh water supply. Therefore the prediction the extent of this pollution, either from rigorous mathematical diffusion modeling or from the perspective of experimental data evaluation bears importance. In this work, we have investigated modeling of the effects of chicken manure on ground water by artificial neural networks. An ANN model was developed to predict the total coliform in the ground water well in poultry farms. The back-propagation algorithm was employed for training and testing the network, and the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was utilized for optimization. The MATLAB 7.0 environment with Neural Network Toolbox was used for coding. Given the associated input parameters such as the number of chickens, type of manure pool management and depth of well, the model estimates the possible amount of total coliform in the wells to a satisfactory degree. Therefore it is expected to be of help in future for estimating the ground water pollution resulting from chicken farms.     

天然沸石与纳滤组合工艺处理铜突发污染的应用

纳滤工艺被广泛应用于分散式饮用水深度处理,能解决饮用水苦咸化,盐碱化或微污染等常规水处理工艺无法规避的用水风险,在长时间运行过程中还能有效应对重金属等突发污染风险。但重金属污染易加重纳滤膜污染,需要增设预处理装置加以缓冲,实现纳滤装置的长久稳定运行。而天然沸石具有良好的筛分性能和吸附性能,能够有效缓冲重金属对纳滤装置的冲击。试验以重金属铜为例,证明水中铜离子会造成纳滤不可逆污染比例增加,不利于系统稳定运行;天然沸石对铜离子有很好的吸附效果,静态吸附试验表明天然沸石对水中铜离子的最大吸附量为3.03 mg/g,通过正交试验合理设计吸附预处理,能够有效为纳滤工艺提供安全进水,保证纳滤进水铜离子浓度低于10 mg/L。实践工艺中,吸附预处理能有效缓解纳滤膜不可逆污染,而且吸附-纳滤组合工艺对铜离子及部分其他重金属离子表现出良好的处理效果。

特殊工业粉尘地区复合绝缘子腐蚀失效过程研究

硅橡胶复合绝缘子因其优异的憎水性及憎水迁移性而具备较好的防污闪能力,往往作为应对污闪事故的首选方案。但在部分特殊工业粉尘地区,复合绝缘子在短时间运行后会出现爬电及蚀损现象,并发展为绝缘失效。为研究特殊工业粉尘地区复合绝缘子的腐蚀失效过程,测试了某特殊工业园区内运行的复合绝缘子的表面污秽度及污秽成分、污闪电压梯度、憎水性能及微观性能,并分析了其腐蚀失效过程。主要结论如下:绝缘子表面等值盐密为0.1~0.2 mg/cm²,其污秽成分与化工污源类似;存在自然污秽时绝缘子表面憎水性良好,但其憎水性的减弱、恢复及迁移特性均不能满足运行要求;绝缘失效的起因是电晕放电导致憎水性降低,进而导致伞裙电蚀损,最后发展为绝缘失效。
