[Contamination Characteristics of Surface Runoff in Densely Populated Areas in Downstream Yangtze River, China].

Urban surface runoff is an important non-point pollution source, and research on contamination characteristics of runoff is urgent for improving urban aquatic environment quality. Typical cities along the downstream Yangtze River, Wuxi and Nanjing, were selected in this study, and runoff samples from various underlying surfaces were collected to investigate contamination characteristics of heavy metals and dissolved organic matter (DOM). The results indicated that the concentration of heavy metals have exceed water quality standards in underlying surfaces partly, the decreasing order of metal contaminations was Zn > Cu > Pb > Sb > Cd.

Investigation of A Slow-Light Enhanced Near-Infrared Absorption Spectroscopic Gas Sensor, Based on Hollow-Core Photonic Band-Gap Fiber.

Generic modeling and analysis of a slow-light enhanced absorption spectroscopic gas sensor was proposed, using a mode-tuned, hollow-core, photonic band-gap fiber (HC-PBF) as an absorption gas cell. Mode characteristics of the un-infiltrated and infiltrated HC-PBF and gas absorption enhancement of the infiltrated HC-PBF were analyzed. A general rule of microfluidic parameters for targeting different gas species in the near-infrared was obtained.
