  • Cyclic Organosilicon Compounds in Ambient Air in Guangzhou, Macau and Nanhai, Pearl River Delta
    Applied Geochemistry 16 (2001) 1447–1454 www.elsevier.com/locate/apgeochem Cyclic organosilicon compounds in ambient air in Guangzhou, Macau and Nanhai, Pearl River Delta X.M. Wang a, S.C. Lee b,*, G.Y. Sheng a, L.Y. Chan b, J.M. Fu a, X.D. Li b, Y.S. Min a, C.Y. Chan b aSKLOG, Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510640, China bDepartment of Civil and Structural Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Kowloon, Hong Kong Abstract Silicon is present in the Earth’s atmosphere as a consequence of several processes including the release of Si com- pounds from anthropogenic sources, but little information is available on airborne Si compounds of anthropogenic origins. In this study ambient air samples from Guangzhou, Macau and Nanhai in the Pearl River Delta, South China were collected by sorbent tubes for the determination of concentrations of volatile organosilicon compounds. Samples were analysed by thermal desorption followed by a GC–MSD technique for compound identification and quantitative analysis. Hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3) and octamethylcyclotetrasilo-xane (D4) were found to be the two dominant organosilicon compounds in the air. In Guangzhou, higher total D3 and D4 concentrations were observed in the industrial area, landfill and waste water treatment plant, while the lowest levels occurred in suburb forest. Two types of linear correlation between D3 and D4 were found in Guangzhou samples, indicating different sources of these orga- nosilicon compounds. Samples in Macau and Nanhai showed different D3 and D4 relationships from the samples in Guangzhou. # 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • A Case Study of Macau, China
    © 2002 WIT Press, Ashurst Lodge, Southampton, SO40 7AA, UK. All rights reserved. Web: www.witpress.com Email [email protected] Paper from: The Sustainable City II, CA Brebbia, JF Martin-Duque & LC Wadhwa (Editors). ISBN 1-85312-917-8 Urban regeneration and the sustainability of colonial built heritage: a case study of Macau, China L Chaplain School of Language and Translation, Macau Polytechnic Institute, China Abstract This paper presents a case study of late twentieth century urban regeneration in the former Portuguese colonial territory of Macau – now designated as a Special Administrative Region of China (Macau SAR). Regeneration in this context is defined and discussed here under the headings: regeneration through reclamation; regeneration through infi-astructure investment; regeneration through preserva- tion. The new Macau SAR Government continues to differentiate Macau fi-om its neighbors by promoting the legacy of a tourist-historic city with a unique archi- tectural fhsion of both West and East as an integral feature of the destination’s marketing strategy. However, regeneration of urban space through reclamation has led to a proliferation of high rise buildings with arguable architectural merit which diminish the appeal of the overwhelmed heritage properties and sites. Future plans for the development of the territory are outlined, including major projects designed to enhance the tourism product through purpose-built leisure and entertainment facilities. 1 Introduction The urban regeneration of the City of Macau can be attributed to significant developments which occurred in the last century of its four hundred years of exis- tence as a Portuguese occupied territory located in China’s southern province of Guangdong – formerly known as Canton.
