Hf‐Nd‐Sr isotopic fingerprinting has been employed as a powerful method for distinguishing dust sources. However, the Hf and Sr isotopic compositions of dust are highly dependent on particle size to accurately identify dust provenance. Here we compare the Hf‐Nd‐Sr isotopic compositions of clay‐sized fractions from dust sources (the Mongolian Plateau) to sinks (Beijing and Greenland). Our results document that clay‐sized Hf‐Nd‐Sr isotopic compositions of Mongolian dust are controlled by two isotopic/geochemical provinces: Southern Mongolian Gobi (SMG) and Northern Mongolian Plateau (NMP). Our data indicate that the SMG is potentially an important dust source to the loess in Beijing and Hulun Buir and could be a contributing source of dust to Greenland, whereas the NMP contributes little dust to the Chinese loess and the Greenland. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the deserts of northwest China are one of the main dust contributors to Beijing and Greenland, but not to Hulun Buir.
Abstract:The residual characteristics of HCHs and DDTs in park soils and dusts in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia were determined by GC-ECD to evaluate their potential pollution risk. The residual concentrations of total HCHs and DDTs in the park soil samples were ranged in 11.36-53.14 ng·g -1 and 11.96-24.70 ng·g -1 while it was ranged in 32.28-92.68 ng·g -1 and 13.45-24.41 ng·g -1 in the park dust samples, respectively. We have studied the ratio of α-HCH/γ-HCH in order to determine pollution sources which may come from either technical HCHs or lindane. The study revealed that concentration of DDTs in soil has direct correlation on usage rate of the dicofol and technical DDT in the sampling area. The soil pollution assessments based on the single pollution index of HCHs and DDTs indicated that Ulaanbaatar city's park soil and dust were not polluted with these compounds.The single pollution index of HCHs reached to 1.85 in A park dust samples,indicating the park dust environment was potentially polluted.
This study purposed to evaluate the water quality of 10 points located between the Terelj national park and the Lun soum in Tuv province along the Tuul River, depending on assessing detailed Physico-chemical and seasonal (except than winter) pollution indicators. The chemical data of water samples from the Tuul River illustrated the water type from neutral to slightly alkaline and belonged to the HCO3-- Ca2+; HCO3-, SO42--Na+ and HCO3-- Ca2+, Mg2+. The point of Terelj or, moreover, starting points water belongs to excellent water, but water mineralization in the mid of Ulaanbaatar city increased up to 1.2 times. However, mineralization, anions and cations of T6 mixed with wastewater from the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWTP) increased significantly. These parameters decreased along the downstream river at T9, T10 points in the zone of Lun soum. As nutritional polluting constituents like NH4-N, NO2-N, PO4-P, COD concentrations met the permissibility of National Standard (MNS 4586:98) requirements at T1-T5 points in Terelj and Ulaanbaatar city. On the contrary, ranges are overrated by permissible concentration of MNS 4586:98 at T6 point mixed with wastewater from CWTP. In T9, T10 points case, nutritional pollution is being decreased gradually along the river, but natural self-treatment did not process completely. Water quality index (WQI) of Terelj and mid of the city (T1-T5 points) designated as ‘excellent’ and ‘good’ (I-II), inappropriately at the point T6 appointed as ‘very poor’ to ‘unsuitable’ water (IV-V) categories. Interestingly, T7 to T10 issues contributed as ‘poor’ to ‘very poor’ water (III-IV) categories. Улаанбаатар хот орчмын Туул голын усны чанарын судалгаа Хураангуй: Туул голын урсгалын дагуу Тэрэлжээс Төв аймгийн Лүн сум хүртэлх 10 цэгээс улирал тутам дээж цуглуулан физик-химийн болон бохирдлын үзүүлэлтийг тодорхойлон, усны чанарын судалгааг явуулсаны үндсэн дээр бохирдлын түвшинг тогтоон дүгнэлт өгөх зорилгоор энэхүү ажлыг хийж гүйцэтгэсэн болно. Туул голын ус нь саармагаас бага шүлтлэг орчинтой, HCO3-- Ca2+; HCO3-, SO42--Na+ ; HCO3-- Ca2+, Mg2+. төрлийн холимог найрлагатай усны ангилалд хамаарагдаж байна. Голын эх буюу Тэрэлжийн бүс нэн цэнгэг усны ангилалд хамаарагдаж байсан бол Улаанбаатар хот орчмын бүсийн голын усны эрдэсжилт ойролцоогоор 1.2 дахин нэмэгдсэн байна. Харин Төв цэвэрлэх байгууламжийн хаягдал бохир ус нийлсэн (Биокомбинатын Т6) цэгт голын усны эрдэсжилт болон бусад анион катион ихээхэн нэмэгдэж байгаа боловч Лүнгийн бүсийн Т9, Т10 цэгт байгалийн усны өөрөө цэвэрших явцын дүнд нийт эрдэсжилт болон хатуулаг буурах зүй тогтол ажиглагдсан. Шим бохирдлын үзүүлэлт болох аммонийн азот, нитритийн азот, исэлдэх чанар, эрдэс фосфорын агуулга Тэрэлж, Улаанбаатар хотын бүсэд (T1-T5) цэгт стандартын утгаас хэтрээгүй байсан бол T6 цэгт огцом нэмэгдэж стандартын утгаас давсан байна. Харин Лүнгийн бүсийн Т9, Т10 цэгүүдийн хувьд шим бохирдлын үзүүлэлт урсгалын дагуу аажим буурч байгаа хэдий ч голын эхэн хэсэгтэй харьцуулахад гүйцэд цэвэрших процесс явагдаагүй нь харагдаж байна. Мөн Туул голын ус эхэн хэсэгтээ буюу Тэрэлж, Улаанбаатар хот орчмын бүсэд (T1-T5 цэг) “Маш цэврээс цэвэр” (I-II) усны ангилалд хамаарагдаж байсан бол Т6 цэгээс “Бохирдолтойгоос их бохирдолтой” буюу IV-V зэрэглэл рүү, харин Т7-Т10 цэгт усны чанар “Бохирдолтойгоос бага бохирдолтой” (III-IV) ангилал руу шилжиж буйг тогтоолоо.Түлхүүр үг: Туул гол, шим бохирдол, усны чанарын индекс, химийн найрлага
