The northern part of Okinawa Island suffers from red soil pollution—runoff of red soil into coastal seawater—which damages coastal ecosystems and scenery. To elucidate the impacts of red soil pollution on the oxidizing power of seawater, hydrogen peroxide (HOOH) and iron species including Fe(II) and total iron (Fe_(tot), defined as the sum of Fe(II) and Fe(III)) were measured simultaneously in seawater from Taira Bay (red-soil-polluted sea) and Sesoko Island (unpolluted sea), off the northern part of Okinawa Island, Japan. We performed simultaneous measurements of HOOH and Fe(II) because the reaction between HOOH and Fe(II) forms hydroxyl radical (•OH), the most potent environmental oxidant. Gas-phase HOOH concentrations were also measured to better understand the sources of HOOH in seawater. Both HOOH and Fe(II) in seawater showed a clear diurnal variation, i.e. higher in the daytime and lower at night, while Fe_(tot) concentrations were relatively constant throughout the sampling period. Fe(II) and Fe_(tot) concentrations were approximately 58% and 19% higher in red-soil-polluted seawater than in unpolluted seawater. Gas-phase HOOH and seawater HOOH concentrations were comparable at both sampling sites, ranging from 1.4 to 5.4 ppbv in air and 30 to 160 nM in seawater. Since Fe(II) concentrations were higher in red-soil-polluted seawater while concentrations of HOOH were similar, •OH would form faster in red-soil-polluted seawater than in unpolluted seawater. Since the major scavenger of •OH, Br⁻, is expected to have similar concentrations at both sites, red-soil-polluted seawater is expected to have higher steady-state •OH concentrations.  相似文献

Possible effects of climate change on estuarine nutrient fluxes: a case study in the highly nutrified Schelde estuary (Belgium, The Netherlands)     

Eric Struyf  Stefan Van Damme  Patrick Meire 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2004,60(4):649-661

Global change models predict effects of climate change on hydrological regimes at the continental scale in Europe. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the possible effect of changing external forcing conditions on the functioning of estuarine ecosystems. In densely populated areas, anthropogenic nutrient enrichment and consequent alteration of nutrient biogeochemical cycles have already had a big impact on these ecosystems. The average yearly discharge of the upper Schelde estuary increased nearly threefold over the period 1996–2000, from 28 m³ s⁻¹ in 1996 to 73 m³ s⁻¹ in 2000. The continuously rising discharge conditions over the five-year period were used as a reference situation for possible future effects of climate on ecological functioning through increase of discharge. At high discharges, nutrient (NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻, dissolved silica and PO₄³⁻) concentrations in the tidal fresh- and brackish water showed a decrease of up to 50% while total discharged nutrient loadings increased up to 100%. Opposite effects of increasing discharge on NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻ and dissolved silica concentrations in summer and winter, resulted in the flattening out of seasonal cycles for these nutrients. Under high discharge conditions, silica uptake by diatom communities was lowered. Dissolved silica loadings to the coastal area increased concurrently with total silica loadings upstream. Salt intrusion to the marine parts of the estuary decreased. This resulted in a downstream shift of the salinity gradient, with lower salinity observed near the mouth. As a result, TDIN, NO₃⁻ and dissolved silica concentrations doubled at the mouth of the estuary.  相似文献

对15年来江苏王港潮滩重金属Pb、Zn和Cu积累规律研究表明,王港潮滩WG05点位现代平均沉积速率为4.13 cm/a。王港潮间带重金属垂直方向的含量具有趋同性,从表层向下逐步降低,具有明显的表聚和亚表聚特征,王港潮滩Fe与Li的相关系数非常显著,超过了0.90,这些潮滩重金属来自岩石风化的可能性较大;Pb、Cu、Al则与铁元素呈负相关,表明王港潮滩沉积物中的重金属Pb、Cu的含量受人为因素的影响较大。归一化后,Cu、Zn的归一化值在15年内相当稳定,其中Cu的波动范围在0.4~2之间,Zn在1.5~2.6之间狭小的范围内波动;这说明王港潮滩的Cu、Zn积累主要来自于地壳风化,受物源和沉积环境等自然因素控制较大,受人类活动影响较小。而Pb归一化以后在4个柱状样中都表现出随时间的变化发生了较大的波动。Pb、Cu为该区域的主要污染因子。  相似文献   

虾塘养殖中有机质自身污染速率及程度的研究   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  

孙耀  殷丽  宋云利 《海洋科学》1997,21(4):45-49

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。  相似文献
