  • Geochemical Composition of Beach Sands from Tottori Prefecture, Japan
    島根大学地球資源環境学研究報告 30, 65～72 ページ（2011 年 12 月） Geoscience Rept. Shimane Univ., 30, p.65～72（2011） Article Geochemical composition of beach sands from Tottori Prefecture, Japan Bah Mamadou Lamine Malick＊, Erika Sano＊ and Hiroaki Ishiga＊ Abstract Fifteen sand samples were collected from ten beaches along the shoreline of Tottori Prefecture to determine their geochemical compositions, using X-ray fluorescence analysis. Two main river systems (Tenjin and Sendai Rivers) supply sediments to the shoreline from the Chūgoku Mountains. Beach parameters, such as the radius of the approximated circle and radian (ℓ/r), were used to describe beach forms: ℓ/R < 1 describes a short and concave pocket beach. Sands from the eight beaches investigated in the area contained more than 70 wt% SiO2, and are predominantly composed of quartz and feldspar. This was reflected in their geochemical compositions, with significant SiO2, Al2O3 and Na2O contents of the beach sand samples further indicating that quartz and feldspar are the main constituents. Detritus was derived from quartz-rich sources, and quartz dilution strongly influences the bulk chemistry of the beach sands. Positive correlation of most elements with Al2O3 and negative correlation with SiO2 suggests quartz dilution is the main control on chemistry. The sediments were derived from relatively felsic source rocks. Key words: Chūgoku Mountains, Tottori Prefecture, beach sand, geochemistry, quartz, feldspar area is thus needed. Introduction The purpose of this study is to describe the geochemical The compositions of coastal sediments are influenced by compositions of fifteen beach sand samples collected from numerous components and processes, including source ten sites along the shoreline of Tottori Prefecture in the area composition, sorting, climate, relief, long shore drift, and where the Sendai and Tenjin Rivers supply sediments.

Psathyropus tenuipes was found from the mouth of the river to the site 4 km upstream where slight salinity (0.1 PPT) was detected in the river. On the other hand, no specimens were found from the upstream sites where no salinity was detect- ed. This indicates that the species needs at least a slight salinity for its occurrence. Paraumbogrella pumilio was found at five sites from the dry riverbed near the Shobu floodgate to a site on the right bank of Sendai River just upstream of Yachiyo Bridge. Occurrence of this species seems to be related to presence of open ground covered with lower grasses on the banks. Recently, the both species were also found from the right bank of the river mouth of Sendai River that is also a part of Tottori Sand Dunes.

A total of 38 charr samples was collected from the 19 branches. All the branches were categorized into 8 groups based on the mountain mass from which the branch originates. Nikko-iwana was distributed in the Daisen, Futago and Hanami mountain masses in the eastern part of the basin and was not distributed in the other 5 mountain masses in the western part. In contrast, Gogi was distributed in the western Onibayashi, Dogo, Mikuni, Senzu and Takairi mountain masses and was not distributed in the 3 eastern mountain masses. For head spot types, C, E, F , G and H were distributed in the 3 eastern masses whereas A, B and D were not recorded from these masses. On the other hand, all the types were distributed in the 5 western masses. For genetic types, 6 and 9 haplotypes were Nikko-iwana- and Gogi-specific, respectively. Only a haplotype comprised both subspecies. In the dendrogram, 5 haplotypes constructed an exclusive clade of Nikko-iwana whereas 6 haplotypes constructed an exclusive clade of Gogi.

The nine students were mainly technical officials, engineers or researchers in the field of river management or water-related disasters in developing countries. This course aims to foster solution-oriented practitioners with solid theoretical and engineering bases who can serve for planning and practices of flood management within the framework of integrated river basin management at all levels from nations to localities. In the first half of the course, the students attended mainly lectures and exercises; in the second half, they worked on their individual studies to complete the Master’s theses and visited many places across Japan through several field trips to learn up-to-date flood control countermeasures at work. This report details the course activities and the achievements thereof.

  • Key Features of Alcohol Ethoxylate (AE) Risk Assessment
    Key Features of Alcohol Ethoxylate (AE) Risk Assessment Key Features of Alcohol Ethoxylate (AE) Risk Assessment This document provides the results of the ecological risk assessment of alcohol ethoxylate (hereinafter “AE”, synonym: polyoxyethylene alkyl ether), a major non-ionic surfactant, conducted by the Research Center for Chemical Risk Management (CRM), the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). In Japan, this is the first comprehensive risk assessment that has revealed the current status of ecological risk in aquatic environment of AE as a mixture of homologues. The key features of AE risk assessment include the following: (1) To aim at a persuasive deduction based on solid theories and actual data, AE risk assessment is developed with conservative analyses of the actual data obtained for this risk assessment, as well as with original analyses applying newly developed methods and model estimations. (2) To aim at a homologue-based ecological risk assessment of AE with consideration to the differences among homologues, an estimation method to assess the risk of AE as a mixture of homologues, is proposed. This method is expected to be applicable for risk estimation of other mixtures similar to AE of which each homologue has similar mechanisms of toxicity. (3) Since the ecotoxicity data of individual homologues are unavailable, a neural network model has been developed to predict the ecotoxicity for each homologue on organisms in the environment based on existing data. The method used to develop this model is expected to be applicable for risk assessment of other chemical substances whose ecotoxicity information is not presently available.
