The results show that thereexists significant difference of the RFs between periods of 1966-1977 and1978-1991 (t=7.353**, t0.01=2.807). During the past 30 years, there areno significant changes of the spatial patterns of the environmental risk,while the proportions of environmental risk among the districts are extremely different. In Shenyang city, there exists a series of high riskenterprises, and the chemical industry is the one with highest risk.展开更多

In this paper, the authors suggest that the impact of extraterrestrial bodies on the Earth may be another mechanism to cause palaeoclimatic cycles, global environmental changes and new glacial periods. Based on geological and geochemical records in the boundary layers produced by six huge Cenozoic bolide\|impact events (65, 34, 15, 2.4, 1.1, 0.73 Ma B.P.), including those at 34, 15, 1.1 and 0.73 Ma B.P. which are represented by four famous tektite\|strewn fields, the process and mechanics of palaeoclimatic cycles and global environmental catastrophes induced by extraterrestrial impact are discussed in detail. Impact\|generated dust, soot and aerosol floating in the stratosphere could result in short\|term (<1 year), rapid drop in temperature immediately after impact. Through self\|regulation of the Earth’s climate system, the temperature at the surface slowly went up within 100a and maintained stable for a long time at 250K. If there were no other factors leading to the break\|down of the newly\|established equilibrium, a new glacial period would be initiated. Estimating from the thickness of \{δ\{\}\+\{13\}C\} and \{δ\{\}\+\{18\}O\} anomalies in sediments across the impact boundary layer and deposition rate, the duration of two stages of the palaeoclimate cycle in the form of cold weather—greenhouse effect—normal weather was 10\+4-10\+5a, respectively. The conclusion deduced from the above model is supported by palaeotemperature change recorded by oxygen isotope in sediments across the impact boundary layer.展开更多

In Antarctica, the magnetic properties show a close linkage to paleoenvironmental variations. The Core NP95 1 well recorded several paleoclimatic events, such as Heinrich event 1, Bolling Allerod warm period and Younger Dryas cold event. The Heinrich event 1 occurred at about 14 2 ka B.P., Younger Dryas cold event occurred between 11 7 ka B.P. and 10 3 ka B.P., and the boundary of Pleistocene and Holocene in Antarctica is 10 3 ka B.P.. In Holocene, two warm periods were recorded at about 10 0 ka B.P. and 6 0 ka B.P. with a little cold period between them. After 6 0 ka B.P. , two cores both recorded a cold climatic oscillation. Paleoclimate described by two cores rock magnetic measurements was simultaneously changed in Eastern and Western Antarctica during the same period two cores commonly covered.展开更多
