Evaluation and Treatment Analysis of Air Quality Including Particulate Pollutants: A Case Study of Shandong Province, China

At present, China’s air pollution and its treatment effect are issues of general concern in the academic circles. Based on the analysis of the development stages of air pollution in China and the development history of China’s air quality standards, we selected 17 cities of Shandong Province, China as the research objects. By expanding China’s existing Air Quality Index System, the air quality of six major pollutants including PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ in 17 cities from February 2017 to January 2020 is comprehensively evaluated. Then, with a forecast model, the air quality of the above cities in the absence of air pollution control policies since June 2018 was simulated. The results of the error test show that the model has a maximum error of 4.67% when simulating monthly assessment scores, and the maximum mean error of the four months is 3.17%. Through the comparison between the simulation results and the real evaluation results of air quality, we found that since June 2018, the air pollution control policies of six cities have achieved more than 10% improvement, while the air quality of the other 11 cities declined. The different characteristics of pollutants and the implementation of governance policies are perhaps the main reasons for the above differences. Finally, policy recommendations for the future air pollution control in Shandong and China were provided.

Study on the regulation of earthworm physiological function under cadmium stress based on a compound mathematical model

A cadmium (Cd) stress test was carried out on Eisenia fetida in artificial soil. Six Cd concentration gradient solutions (0, 50, 100, 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg) were prepared. Two treatment groups, short-term stress and long-term stress, were established. The former lasted for 10 days, and the latter lasted for 30 days. The Biolog ECO-microplate culture method was used to determine the utilization of the 31 carbon sources by the microbes in earthworm homogenate. The total protein content (TP), peroxidase activity (POD), catalase activity (CAT), superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), glutathione peroxidase activity (GPX), glutathione-S-transferase activity (GST), malondialdehyde content (MDA) and acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE) in earthworm were determined in order to investigate the regulation of oxidative stress and the functional diversity of microbial communities in earthworms under Cd stress. By combining the entropy weight method (EW) and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution model (TOPSIS), the physiological functional indices of earthworms were assessed objectively and scientifically, and the physiological changes under the different stress periods were evaluated. The results showed that a Cd-tolerant dominant population appeared in the microbial community under Cd stress. In the short-term test, oxidative stress were more effective in coping with Cd stress than the microbial community, and oxidative stress regulated the microbial community functional diversity. Under long-term Cd stress, the regulatory effect was weak or non-existent. In this study, a new evaluation model was established to explore the regulation process of earthworm on its oxidation stress and the functional diversity of microbial communities under Cd stress, and provide a theoretical basis for revealing the detoxification mechanism of earthworms.
