The PAH levels were generally low over the year; however, the PAH concentrations increased according to one of two seasonal trends, which were either an increase in PAHs during the cold period, influenced by heating, or a PAH enrichment during the wet period due to higher run-off inputs. The major PAH source was the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, but a minor input of petrogenic PAHs in some seasons was observed. Higher PAH concentrations were observed in fresh and brackish water compared to the saline waters in the Tumen River estuary, while the PAH concentrations in both types of water were similar in the Partizanskaya River estuary, suggesting different pathways of PAH input into the estuaries. -
Soil Heavy Metal Contamination Assessment in the Hun-Taizi River Watershed, China Wei Zhang1, Miao Liu2 ✉ & Chunlin Li2
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Soil heavy metal contamination assessment in the Hun-Taizi River watershed, China Wei Zhang1, Miao Liu2 ✉ & Chunlin Li2 The Hun-Taizi River watershed includes the main part of the Liaoning central urban agglomeration, which contains six cities with an 80-year industrial history. A total of 272 samples were collected from diferent land use areas within the study area to estimate the concentration levels, spatial distributions and potential sources of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) with a geographic information system (GIS), principal component analysis (PCA) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Only the concentration of Cd was over the national standard value (GB 15618–2018). However, the heavy metal concentrations at 24.54%, 71.43%, 63.37%, 85.71, 70.33%, 53.11%, and 72.16% of the sampling points were higher than the local soil background values for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn, respectively, which were used as standard values in this study. The maximal values of Cd (16.61 times higher than the background value) and Hg (12.18 times higher than the background value) had high concentrations, while Cd was present in the study area at higher values than in some other basins in China. Cd was the primary pollutant in the study area due to its concentration and potential ecological risk contribution. The results of the potential ecological risk index (RI) calculation showed that the overall heavy metal pollution level of the soil was considerably high. -

International Aid and China's Environment
International Aid and China’s Environment Rapid economic growth in the world’s most populous nation is leading to widespread soil erosion, desertification, deforestation and the depletion of vital natural resources. The scale and severity of environmental problems in China now threaten the economic and social foundations of its modernization. International Aid and China’s Environment analyses the relationship between international and local responses to environmental pollution problems in China. The book challenges the prevailing wisdom that weak compliance is the only constraint upon effective environmental management in China. It makes two contributions. First, it constructs a conceptual framework for understanding the key dimensions of environmental capacity. This is broadly defined to encompass the financial, institutional, technological and social aspects of environmental management. Second, the book details the implementation of donor-funded environmental projects in both China’s poorer and relatively developed regions. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork, it seeks to explain how, and under what conditions, international donors can strengthen China’s environmental capacity, especially at the local level. It will be of interest to those studying Chinese politics, environmental studies and international relations.

Assessment of the Degree of Hydrological Indicators Alteration Under Climate Change
Advances in Engineering Research (AER), volume 143 6th International Conference on Energy and Environmental Protection (ICEEP 2017) Assessment of the degree of hydrological indicators alteration under climate change Chunxue Yu1,2, a, Xin’an Yin3,b, Zhifeng Yang 2,3,c and Zhi Dang1,d 1 School of Environmental Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology, University Town, Guangzhou, China 2 Research Center for Eco-Environmental Engineering, Dongguan University of Technology, Dongguan, China 3 State Key Laboratory of Water Environmental Simulation, School of Environment, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, China [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Reservoir storage; Ecological requirement; Optimization model; Climate change. Abstract. The native biodiversity and integrity of riverine ecosystems are dependent on the natural flow regime. Maintaining the natural variability of flow in regulated river is the most important principle for the operation and management of environmental flow (e-flow). However, climate change has altered the natural flow regime of rivers. Flow regime alteration is regarded as one major cause leading to the degradation of riverine ecosystems. It is necessary to incorporate the impacts of climate changes into e-flow management. To provide scientific target for e-flow management, the assessment method for flow regime alteration is developed. We analyze the alteration of hydrological indicator under climate change. This study has selected the commonly used Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHAs) to describe the various aspects of flow regimes. To assess the alteration degree of each IHA in regulated river under climate change, GCM is used to generate feasible future climate conditions and hydrological model is used generate flow of river from those future weather conditions. -

Based on the Study of Optimal Pollutant Control in Yingkou Section of Daliaohe River
E3S Web of Conferences 228, 02015 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202122802015 CCGEES 2020 Based on the study of optimal pollutant control in yingkou section of daliaohe river Qiucen Guo1, Hui Yang1*, Huan He1 1 School of municipal and environmental engineering, Shenyang Jianzhu University, Shenyang, Liaoning, 110168, China Abstract. In view of the complexity of the river flowing into yingkou section of daliaohe river, an optimal pollutant control screening method combining the migration and degradation of toxic and harmful pollutants was proposed to improve the comprehensive scoring method. The weight factors of 10 synthetic scoring methods were proposed, and different weights were assigned to the weight factors, focusing more on the migration and degradation of pollutants. The improved comprehensive score method was used to screen 39 pollutants in the list of potential pollutants. Twelve kinds. 1 Introduction 2 Screening of optimal control pollutants in yingkou section of The tributaries of the liao river, hun river and taizi river, join together and enter the sea separately in yingkou city, daliaohe river and the river after the confluence is called daliao river [1- 2].
