[Method] The relationship of drinking water type endemic fluorosis with the fluoride content in the soil and groundwater of Songnen Plain was analyzed. [Result] The endemic disease in this region is concentrated in the Song-Liao Plain and Hulunbuir Plateau on both sides of the Daxinganling Mountain. Severe and medium disease areas are distributed mainly in alluviallacustrine plains with dense depressions of lakes and marshes. The strata are commonly fine-grained loess and mucky soil. The groundwater is dominated by HCO3-Ca·Na and HCO3·Cl-Na·Ca types, with fluorine content of 1.80-16.00 mg/L, generally 4-6 mg/L. Light disease and non-disease areas are distributed in the alluvial-lacustrine plains with less or without depressions of lakes and marshes. The strata are mainly coarse-grained silty soil and sandy soil. The chemical types of ground water are Cl-Ca·Na and HCO 3 Cl-Na·Ca. The content of fluorine in ground water is commonly lower than 2 mg/L. [Conclusion] High fluorine groundwater formation is closely related to the geological environment.展开更多

This paper aims to explore a RPCA algorithm to analyze the spatial heterogeneity of social and economic environment of land uses (SEELU). RPCA supplies one of the most efficient methods to derive the most important components or factors affecting the regional difference of the social and economic environment. According to the spatial distributions of the levels of SEELU,the total land resources of China were divided into eight zones numbered by Ⅰ to Ⅷ which spatially referred to the eight levels of SEELU.展开更多

The 7 heavy metals content in the contaminated soil was measured by atomic absorption spec-trophotometry. The results showed the pH of the wasteland soil ranged from 2.87 to 6.16, and the soil was relatively infertile. The soil was mainly pol uted by Cd and Mn. The Cd content in wasteland soil ranged from 0.759 mg/kg to 3.109 mg/kg with an average content of 2.052 mg/kg, which was much higher than the standard content. The Mn content ranged from 387.057 to 488.660 mg/kg with an average content of 421.215 mg/kg, which was much higher than the standard content. The Nemerow integrated pol ution indexes showed the sample 1, sample 4 and sample 5 were of heavy pol ution, and sample 2 and sample 3 were of moderate pol ution.展开更多

Based on these index systems,the area was divided into three eco-environment regions and nine sub eco-environment regions. An eco-regional map of Bashang inland lake wetland was drawn by using GIS. The ecological characteristics,existing problems and control measures of each region were described. This study will supply guidance for the construction of local ecological environment and regulation of industrial structure,promoting sustainable development of Bashang inland lake wetland.展开更多

[Method] Based on the Driving Force-State-Response model, expert weight method and entropy method were used to determine weight, and then the composite indexes of environmental effects (CIE for short) were calculated. [Result] During the period from 1980 to 2010, CIE had presented a rising trend whether expert weight method or entropy method in the study area, while the CIE presents downtrend basically in lower reaches. [Conclu- sion] It was the arable land expansion in middle reaches that led to serious land degradation in lower reaches, and may endanger ecosystem safety in Hotan River green corridor. Therefore, it is suggested that the agricultural land use should be restructured, such as reducing the sown areas of some crops with large amount of water consumption. Meanwhile, the effective measures should be taken to distribute water resources and utilize them reasonably. In addition, the oasis-desert ecotone, as well as the groundwater resources, should be also protected.展开更多
