The Bonn Agreement Aerial Surveillance programme: trends in North Sea oil pollution 1986-2004     

Carpenter A 《Marine pollution bulletin》2007,54(2):149-163

This paper examines the use of aerial surveillance activities conducted in the North Sea region of Europe since 1986 to assess trends in levels of oil inputs into the marine environment, both across the whole region and within the waters of the different coastal states. It makes use of data collected under the aegis of the 1969 Bonn Agreement through its Annual Reports on Aerial Surveillance and examines developments in surveillance methods and technology which have led to improvements in the detection of oil spills, even during the hours of darkness. The paper then examines country specific data for the eight North Sea contracting parties to the Agreement to assess trends in oil spills in the region.  相似文献   

Biomarker responses in flounder (Platichthys flesus) and mussel (Mytilus edulis) in the Klaipeda-Būtinge area (Baltic Sea)     

Barsiene J  Lehtonen KK  Koehler A  Broeg K  Vuorinen PJ  Lang T  Pempkowiak J  Syvokiene J  Dedonyte V  Rybakovas A  Repecka R  Vuontisjärvi H  Kopecka J 《Marine pollution bulletin》2006,53(8-9):422-436

During the EU project BEEP a battery of biomarkers was applied in flounder (Platichthys flesus) and the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) collected at three locations off the Lithuanian coast (Baltic Sea) in June and September 2001 and 2002. The elevated biomarker responses in specimens sampled in September 2001 were apparently related to the extensive dredging activities in the Klaipeda port area and subsequent dumping of contaminated sediments. High concentrations of organic pollutants (organochlorines and PBDEs) were also measured in the tissues of both indicator species. In addition, response levels of genotoxicity, cytotoxicity, immunotoxicity as well as concentrations of PAH metabolites in the bile of flounder showed elevations in 2002 after an oil spill in the Būtinge oil terminal in November 2001. In flounder, biomarker measurements 10 months after the spill indicated recovery processes but in mussels a high level of genotoxicity could still be observed 22 months later. The present study illustrates the usefulness of the multi-biomarker approach in the detection of biological effects of pollution in this region of the Baltic Sea.  相似文献   

The BEEP project in the Baltic Sea: overview of results and outline for a regional biological effects monitoring strategy   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Lehtonen KK  Schiedek D  Köhler A  Lang T  Vuorinen PJ  Förlin L  Barsiene J  Pempkowiak J  Gercken J 《Marine pollution bulletin》2006,53(8-9):523-537

Field studies in the framework of the EU funded BEEP project (Biological Effects of Environmental Pollution in Marine Coastal Ecosystems, 2001-2004) aimed at validating and intercalibrating a battery of biomarkers of contaminant exposure and effects in selected indicator species in the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic and the Baltic Seas. Major strategic goals of the BEEP project were the development of a sensitive and cost-efficient biological effects monitoring approach, delivery of information and advice to end-user groups, and the implementation of a network of biomarker researchers around Europe. Based on the main results obtained in the Baltic Sea component of the BEEP the present paper summarises and assesses the applicability of biomarkers for different regions and species in this sea area. Moreover, a general strategy and some practical considerations for the monitoring of biological effects in the Baltic Sea are outlined.  相似文献   

Partial colony mortality reflects coral community dynamics: a fringing reef study near a small river in Okinawa, Japan     

Dikou A  van Woesik R 《Marine pollution bulletin》2006,52(3):269-280

The relative performance of (i) percent live cover, (ii) colony density, (iii) generic richness, (iv) partial colony mortality, and (v) colony size of hard corals were evaluated to determine which variables best discriminated the coral communities near a small river in Okinawa, Japan. An analysis of their variance was undertaken across a combination of sites at three depths, at increasing distance from a river's influence (Zatsun River). The river provides a periodic and localized input of sediment and fresh water to the adjacent coral reef; the effects of which we assume attenuate at increasing distance from the river mouth. The mean frequency of partially dead coral colonies (i.e., the proportion of live coral colonies that were partially dead) presented the clearest and most reliable response to river affect, and the power to discriminate among sites improved steadily with increasing depth. Spatial examination of the prevalence of partial mortality, regardless of how long ago the infliction occurred, provides a clear window to long-term processes involving population and community change and indeed the reef building capacity of the communities.  相似文献   

(Na,Ca)(Ti3+,Mg)Si2O6-clinopyroxenes at high pressure: influence of cation substitution on elastic behavior and phase transition     

Angela Ullrich  Ronald Miletich  Tonci Balic-Zunic  Lars Olsen  Fabrizio Nestola  Manfred Wildner  Haruo Ohashi 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2010,37(1):25-43

A compressional study of (Na,Ca)(Ti³⁺,Mg)Si₂O₆-clinopyroxenes was carried out at high pressures between 10⁻⁴ and 10.2 GPa using in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and optical absorption spectroscopy. Compressional discontinuities accompanied by structural changes, in particular, the appearance of two distinct Ti³⁺–Ti³⁺ distances within the octahedral chains at 4.37 GPa, provide evidence for the occurrence of a phase transition in NaTi³⁺Si₂O₆. Equation-of-state parameters are K ₀ = 115.9(7) GPa with K′ = −0.9(3) and K ₀ = 102.7(8) GPa with K′ = 4.08(5) for the low- and high-pressure range, respectively. The transition involves a C2/c–P [`1] \overline{1} symmetry change, which can be confirmed by the occurrence of new modes in Raman spectra. Since no significant discontinuity in the evolution of the unit-cell volume with pressure has been observed, the transition appears to be second-order in character. The influence of the coupled substitution Na⁺Ti³⁺↔Ca²⁺Mg²⁺ on the static compression behavior and the structural stability has been investigated using a sample of the intermediate composition (Na_0.54Ca_0.46)(Mg_0.46Ti_0.54)Si₂O₆. No evidence for a deviation from continuous compression behavior has been found, neither in lattice parameter nor in structural data and the fit of a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation-of-state to the pressure–volume data yields a bulk modulus of K ₀ = 109.1(5) GPa and K′ = 5.02(13). Raman and polarized absorption spectra have been compared to NaTiSi₂O₆ and reveal major similarities. The main driving force for the phase transition in NaTi³⁺Si₂O₆ is the localization of the Ti³⁺ d-electron and the accompanying distortion, which is suppressed in the (Na,Ca)(Ti³⁺,Mg)Si₂O₆-clinopyroxene.  相似文献   

Crystal chemistry, surface morphology and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of Fe-rich osumilite from Mt. Arci, Sardinia (Italy)

Microprobe analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy were applied on Fe-rich osumilite from the volcanic massif of Mt. Arci, Sardinia, Italy. Osumilite belongs to the space group P6/mcc with unit cell parameters a = 10.1550(6), c = 14.306(1) Å and chemical formula (K_0.729)_C (Na_0.029)_B (Si_10.498 Al_1.502)_T1 (Al_2.706 Fe _0.294 ²⁺ )_T2 (Mg_0.735 Mn_0.091 Fe _1.184 ²⁺ )_AO₃₀. Structure refinement converged at R = 0.0201. Unit cell parameter a is related to octahedral edge length as well as to Fe²⁺ content, unlike the c parameter which does not seem to be affected by chemical composition. The determination of the amount of each element on the mineral surface, obtained through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy high-resolution spectra in the region of the Si_2p, Al_2p, Mg_1s and Fe_2p core levels, suggests that Fe presents Fe²⁺ oxidation state and octahedral coordination. Two peaks at 103.1 and 100.6 eV can be related to Si⁴⁺ and Si¹⁺ components, respectively, both in tetrahedral coordination. The binding energy of Al_2p, at 74.5 eV, indicates that Al is mostly present in the distorted T2 site, whereas the Mg peak at 1,305.2 eV suggests that this cation is located at the octahedral site. X-ray absorption at the Fe L_2,3-edges confirms that iron is present in the mineral structure, prevalently in the divalent state and at the A octahedral site.  相似文献
