RESUMEN
Three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy is an emerging sensitive technology to detect organic pollution in water bodies. Based on this technique, a research group from Tsinghua University developed a novel instrument as a tool of pollution early-warning and pollution source identificationï¼it has been put into use in A city in South China, for aqueous fingerprint monitoring and pollution sources identification under abnormal conditions. As a new monitoring method, it broke the limitation that traditional water quality monitoring technology could not provide directivity information of pollution source, and could detect abnormity of water quality quickly and identify pollution source accurately. In this paper, the process to identify pollution source during an abnormity incident of water quality in S River captured by the instrument was studied. When the instrument captured unidentified aqueous fingerprints during on-line monitoring, pollution intrusion process was inferred based on the variation of aqueous fingerprint figure and peak intensity. Then the pollution source identification was achieved by comparing the fingerprints between the polluted water body and possible pollution sources by the instrument. The source identification was verified with the changes of other water quality parameters such as pH, aniline, TOC and TN. The results showed that this early-warning and pollution source identification technique can quickly detect and release warning of abnormity of water quality and identify pollution sources accurately via monitoring aqueous fingerprints. The abnormity incident studied in this paper might be caused by dumping raw materials by a chemical plant located in upstream of the river.
RESUMEN
Impacts of surface wind direction, surface wind speed, surface air temperature and sunshine hours on the CH4 concentration at Lin'an regional atmospheric background station were studied based on the results from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2011. The results revealed that the diurnal variation of atmospheric CH4 concentration presented a single-peak curve at Lin'an regional background station. The diurnal amplitude varied from 19.0 x 10(-9) to 74.7 x 10(-9), with the lowest value observed in the afternoon and the highest at dawn. The monthly mean CH4 concentrations varied from 1955.7 x 10(-9) to 2036.2 x 10(-9), with the highest concentration observed in autumn and the lowest in spring. The wind directions NE-SSE could induce higher CH4 concentrations while SW-NNW wind directions had negative effects on the observed results. The CH4 concentration turned out to be lower with higher surface wind speed. With the increase of surface air temperature or sunshine hours, the CH4 concentration went up first till reaching a peak, and then decreased.
