“…In this study, the gross domestic product (GDP) ratio obtained from Beijing Statistic Yearbook between the study area (RMB 92.32 billion) and Beijing city (RMB 141.14 billion) in 2010 was used to estimate the emission inventory of PAHs due to the potential proportional relationship among GDP and PAHs release 17 . Therefore, the total PAH emission rate in the study area was 33.73 kg/h in 2010 and this emission rate is used to establish the MLUF model and the calibration of this model.…”

Along with the accelerated process of urbanization, the contradiction between social development and environment become increasingly conspicuous. Herein, we access the transport and fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by a newly proposed multiple land-use fugacity (MLUF) model to provide comprehensive understanding of PAHs distribution in an urban and suburban areas. PAHs behave differently towards distinct soil types and land covers within the soil phase. We suggest and implement the MLUF model to estimate the PAHs distribution in diverse land types. Moreover, we introduce a multivariate interpretation and systematic model calibration framework to validate the MLUF model adaptability in different land-use area. Accordingly, the organic film on impervious surfaces holds the highest PAHs concentration than other compartments, also soil and sediment phases keep most of PAHs. The potential cancer risk of PAHs in different land-usecompartments follow the order of urban green space > agricultural area > forest and semi-nature area. Besides, the dynamic MLUF model is developed and implemented to the period of COVID-19 pandemic for quantitively estimating the dynamic variations of the PAHs concentration. Finally, we can realize the better scientific understanding of the typical PAHs environmental pollutants transfer phenomena and distribution fates in urban and suburban areas.

“…For example, QWASI is a simplified lake model. The purpose is to analyze and calculate the chemical exchange of chemicals in water, air and water-sediment and the chemical transformation in a single phase, so it is not suitable for chemical behavior analysis of land and rivers; EQC sets up a fixed multimedia environment system, which cannot be directly used for regional environment simulation; SimpleBox, CalTOX, ChemCAN, and TaPL3 can be applied to chemicals in regions On the distribution and risk assessment of environmental media, the reliability of the models have been verified [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].The fugacity model also has obvious shortcomings, because the existing fugacity models assume that the spatial characteristics of each medium are uniform, that is, the fugacity of each point in each medium is equal. If the model is used for heterogeneous phases, the behavior characteristics of pollutants cannot be reflected spatial variability, the accuracy of the model would be reduced.…”

The environmental distribution and migration of bisphenol A (BPA) has attracted attention due to its widespread use. The Erhai Lake Basin is dominated by agricultural production and tourism, and almost no industry. In this research, BPA pollution in the non-industrial region was investigated. BPA was found in all samples of inflow rivers, with concentrations ranging 2.80 ng/L~61.85 ng/L. The measured 15 rivers that account for 78.7% of the total inflow volume were inputting BPA concentration of 20.69 ng/L into Erhai Lake with an annual load of 8.54 kg/year. The measured BPA removal efficiency of sewage treatment plants ranged 49.8%~92.8%. Oxidation Ditch and A 2 O-MBR treatment process achieved the better BPA removal efficiency. The amount of BPA discharged directly to Erhai Lake from the effluent of the sewage plants each year was 1.63 kg. Based on the above research, a multimedia model of QWASI was established, and water concentration calculated was 0.203ng/L. A PNEC value considering more sensitive receptors was applied to this study, and it was indicated that there was a certain ecological risk in the water of the Boluo River estuary, while other rivers and lake were relatively safe. It was revealed that the ecological risk of BPA was relatively low in the Erhai Lake.
