    Springer
    Environmental management 3 (1979), S. 283-288 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1009
    Keywords: Nonstationary time series ; Pollutants ; Dissolved oxygen ; Total dissolved solids ; Nitrates and nitrites ; Ammonia ; M-Dimensional time series ; Chicago sanitary and ship canal ; Sampling ; Monitoring
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Energy, Environment Protection, Nuclear Power Engineering
    Notes: Abstract A nonstationary time-series model is used to examine the changes occurring at sampling stations on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. Using data from upstream sampling sites, downstream levels of dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, nitrates and nitrites, and ammonia are accurately predicted. The method is simple, insensitive to extreme values, and responsive to changes in the system.

    Fish bioassay monitoring of waste effluents (1979)
    Springer
    Environmental management 3 (1979), S. 217-235 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1009
    Keywords: Bioassay ; Monitoring ; Waste effluent ; Fish ; Lepomismacrochirus
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Energy, Environment Protection, Nuclear Power Engineering
    Notes: Abstract Spills of toxic materials into bodies of water receiving industrial waste discharges can be prevented only if frequent or continuous assessments of effluent quality can be made. Currently available methods can automatically measure individual physical or chemical waste components but cannot assess toxicity caused by the interaction of components or the presence of an unsuspected material. Aquatic organisms, in contrast, respond to their total environment and in this way integrate the effects of all the various chemical and physical waste parameters. This study evaluates the possibility of using the continuously and automatically recorded responses of fish to monitor the toxicity of industrial waste effluents. A review of previously developed toxicity monitoring systems is followed by a field evaluation of a method that uses the computer-monitored ventilatory patterns of 12 bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque) to monitor the toxicity of an industrial waste effluent as it flows into a river. No known toxic spills occurred in the effluent during the operation of this system, but acetone added to the effluent waste caused responses from the fish at concentrations which peaked near the 96-hr LC50 level. Some responses were also noted when no known toxicant was present; these were related to environmental disturbances and system design problems. Recommendations are made for the design of future biologic monitoring units.

    Notes: Abstract A quantitative analysis of major rural energy flows in the People's Republic of China shows that the nation 's countryside still depends predominantly on solar radiation transformed by green plants through photosynthesis into food, feed, fuel, and raw materials. Although a large-scale modernization effort currently under way aims to greatly increase the consumption of fossil fuels and electricity, it is argued that the country should not completely abandon its renewable rural energetics.

    Birth seasonally among peasant cultivators: The interrelationship of workload, diet, and fertility (1979)
    Springer
    Human ecology 7 (1979), S. 151-181

    Notes: Abstract The monthly distribution of live births was analyzed over a 51-year period, 1926–1976, for a rural Taiwan fishing community. Unlike previous studies of birth seasonality, monthly distributions of births did not deviate from what would be expected by chance. This new case is shown to be consistent with the suggestion, developed by Pasternak during a study of birth seasonality in two Taiwan farming communities, that for peasant cultivators the annual cycle of production exerts a more decisive influence on birth seasonality than time of marriage or attributes of temperature, rainfall, or workload. An hypothesis that links the productive cycle to conceptions through the intervening variable of diet is presented and successfully tested using several sets of data on monthly births. A direct effect of nutrition on human fertility, suggested by recent studies of reproductive performance under conditions of nutritional stress, may largely explain seasonality of conceptions and births in populations that experience significant seasonal variation in diet.

    Notes: Abstract Planning considerations to be evaluated early in the design of water quality monitoring programs are reviewed. These criteria emphasize the importance of isolating the study area, parameter section, and type of measurements required to ensure meaningful results. A demonstration automatic water quality monitoring program is described. Details with respect to type of equipment, coordination of component parts, sampling program, and analysis of specific parameters are reviewed. General costs of implementation and maintenance of such programs are presented.

    Seasons of birth and marriage in two Chinese localities (1978)

    Notes: Abstract Data from two rural Chinese settings suggest that an ecological variable — the reliability of food supply — may exert a more decisive influence on birth seasonality than time of marriage or attributes of temperature, rainfall, or workload. First births seem to be especially important for patterns of seasonality; comparison between villages suggests that a periodic but reliable source of food may encourage a seasonal distribution of first births, the effect of which might be to protect the mother and/or her newborn infant. It is the periodicity of first births that may give aggregate birth figures the appearance of seasonality.

    Estimates of health benefits due to reductions in ambient NO2 levels (1977)
    Springer
    Environmental management 1 (1977), S. 31-37 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1009
    Keywords: NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) ; Air Pollution ; Air Quality Management Environmental Health ; Respiratory Illness ; Health Benefit Estimation
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Energy, Environment Protection, Nuclear Power Engineering
    Notes: Abstract A method is presented here by which the actual numbers of individuals in the U.S. population who would be expected to suffer respiratory illness as a result of exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations in excess of the Federally-designated ambient air quality standard can be estimated. At the same time we have attempted to quantify how these adverse health effects would be alleviated by various degrees of reductions in current ambient concentrations. In addition, the health benefit expected to be derived by various NOx emission control strategies will be examined utilizing the health benefit estimation method presented. It is estimated that there were approximately 33.2×106 excess cases of respiratory illnesses in the U.S. in 1973 associated with ambient NO2 concentrations in excess of the national ambient standard. A reduction of approximately 50 to 60 percent below 1973 NO2 levels is needed to essentially eliminate excess respiratory illness associated with ambient NO2 concentration.

    ISSN: 1432-1009
    Keywords: Air Pollution ; Modeling ; Control Strategy ; Land Use Planning ; Diffusion Models ; Photochemical Oxidant Modeling ; Smog Modeling ; Climatological Modeling

    Notes: Abstract The Bay Area Air Pollution Control District of California (US of A) is a regional agency enforcing emission limits from stationary sources within a 6,000 square mile area. Monitoring stations established base line concentrations and trends relative to control effectiveness. Air quality modeling efforts are explained including the use of a climatological model and summary descriptions of dispersion models on regional and local scales and statistical modeling serving to combine the climatological model output with dispersion model output which is necessary for planning and enforcement applications. Photochemical oxidant (Smog) modeling is discussed as being carried out by the agency with objectives defined including a definition of models used for non-reactive pollutants and another for reactive pollutants, both on a regional basis. Model validation is discussed and model application scenarios are generally defined outlining future work underway in the field.

    Variation and evaluation of coastal salt marshes (1977)
    Springer
    Environmental management 1 (1977), S. 201-211

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Energy, Environment Protection, Nuclear Power Engineering
    Notes: Abstract Ten intertidal salt marshes along the Rhode Island coast were sampled and compared in terms of the relative standing crop and height of tallSpartina alterniflora, density of shoots, seed production and size, fish populations, and the abundance of grass shrimp, fiddler crabs, insects, and birds. The marshes ranged from 0.49 to 52.61 hectares (1.2 to 130 acres) and included fringe marsh in dense urban developments as well as unspoiled waterfowl preserves in rural isolation. Large variation in most parameters made it impossible to separate the sites with statistical significance using either univariate or multivariate techniques. Moreover, there was little meaningful intercorrelation among the parameters. Although more intensive sampling might make it possible to separate individual marshes with statistical rigor, these results suggest that the necessary effort may be too great to allow comparative field sampling to play a practical part in wetlands evaluation programs. The results also indicate that there is little, if any, correlation between visual esthetic perceptions of a marsh and its ecological characteristics. This work suggests that the development of ecological rating systems will not provide a reliable tool for the management of coastal wetlands.
