HFC-134a is the most important alternative to CFC-12 used in the mobile air-conditioner sector in China. The con- sumption of HFC-134a has been increasing rapidly in recent years. It becomes the most consumed HFC in the sector. Selecting 2005 as the base line year, future consumption and emission amounts of HFC-134a are estimated through an analysis of a combined scenario: 1) replacement by non-HFC-134a blends, 2) good practice in servicing, 3) technology promotion, and 4) government policies on control of HFC-134a emissions. The analysis shows that HFC-134a consumption and emissions will continue to increase in the next 10 years. The projected HFC-134a consumption will approach 20,150 t and 34,875 t in 2010 and 2015 respectively, while the estimated emission amounts will reach 16,065 t and 30,186 t (i.e., 21 Mt CO2-eq and 39 Mt CO2-eq emissions) correspondingly. Compared with the business-as-usual scenario, the expected emission reductions in 2010 and 2015 will range between 6.7 Mt CO2-eq and 13.0 Mt CO2-eq.

Urban Development Zones are always constructed rapidly and intensively, resulting in contingent ecological and environmental problems. This paper establishes a set of ecological-security index system for urban development and construction. It utilizes Pressure-state-Response (P-S-R) model to select frequently-used indexes, which represent the features of urban society, economy, and ecosystem environment. Through public survey and the analysis of the questionnaires, and Analytic Hierarchy Process (A-H-P) analysis, it prioritizes all the indices and screens out a set of operational eco-security index system according to the principle of monitorability. This method is applied to establish the eco-security monitoring index system for Beijing Eco-Tech Development Zone, therefore to provide basis for dynamic eco-security monitoring for the development and construction of Beijing Eco-Tech Zone.

Improving of eco-efficiency is propitious for resource saving and emission reduction, and thus become a popular way to sustainable development. Industry is the main source of energy consumption and GHGS emissions of China, thus analyzing of energy efficiencies for industrial sectors of major cities may provide essential information for restructuring of industrial system and energy saving & emission reduction. In this article, based on a framework of relationship between industry and its environment, the energy consumption by industry (or its sectors) is taken as environmental impact, and the energy efficiency is defined. Chongqing, Guangzhou and Tianjin are selected as the major cities, their present industrial engery efficiencies are estimated as 0.527, 0.946, and 1.019 wanyuan/ktce, respectively. On the basis of statistic data, the present energy efficiencies of 39 industrial sectors for the three selected cities are estimated. The results show that the eco-efficiencies of 39 industry sectors are equilibrium in sectors and cities, which exhibites that the order of industrial sectors in energy efficiency will vary with cities, and even for a same industry sector, the energy efficiency may have several folds of difference for different cities. Meanwhile, for a same city, the values of energy efficiency for different industrial sectors may range from centuplicate to several thousand folds. It indicates that there is a great possibility for energy saving & emission reduction in restructuring of industry system.

To delineate the water quality of Baiyangdian Lake, North China, a ten-year analysis (2000-2009) of the variations on water quality parameters were conducted in the lake. The results showed that the variation of pollution indexes for TP, TN and NH 4+ took a larger fluctuation and two “pollution peaks” appeared in 2000 and 2006 in the comprehensive pollution index curve. A simple model was subsequently used to analyze the response of Baiyangdian Lake when the nutrients loading rates were changed. This model described the variations of lake parameters related with nutrients concentrations. It also suggested that maximum tolerance discharges of total phosphorus and nitrogen to Baiyangdian Lake is 10 tons/year and 437.5 tons/year, respectively.

An experimental study was undertaken to highlight the potential applicability of biofilms as biomonitors forming simultaneously on natural and artificial substrata in Baiyngdian Lake(China).We investigated the responses of freshwater biofilm in 8 site of Baiyngdian Lake and compared with control site (a reservoir) to assess the relative health of water. Exposure to pollution and its impact on biofilms were assessed by measuring the biomass production, Chlorophyll concentration, the algal composition, extracellular enzyme activity of bacterial communities and Polysaccharide content. This relation between the biological characters of biofilms and water quality were discussed, and the relative health of regions were demonstrated by the degree of deviation based on bioflim indicator in the following order: Fu river (S4) < Duan cun (S8) < Nan Liuzhuang (S5) < Wang jiazai (S1) < Cai putai (S7) < Zao lingzhuang (S2)< Shao Chedian (S3).. The result indicated that biofilm can provide information for pollution detection and ecological health assessment of water, and biofilm on aritificial substrata was recommended for biomonitoring in the Baiyangdian Lake.

Samples collected from sites of 26 for water, soils and two native plants (Scirpus tripueter Linn. and Cyperus malaccensis Lam.) in riparian wetlands were analyzed to investigate the distribution of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in Panyu-Nansha area of Pearl River estuary. The results indicated that concentrations of heavy metals among three compartments were in the order: soils > plants > water and no obvious correlations were found between in soils and water, water and plants. Pb is the only metal accumulated in both plants that correlated with its concentrations in soils. The weak or lack correlations among metals in water, soils and plants suggest that other factors existed influence the metal uptake and storage in plants other than absorbing from soils and water. The plants had the same trend in metal accumulation that was Cd > Zn > Cu > Ni > Cr > Pb. The translocation factors showed that metals accumulation was mostly occurred in roots for these two plants. Compared to the other heavy metals, Cd seemed to be much more hazardous. Principal Component analysis and Cluster analysis were used to analyze the relevance of different metals and identify the major sources. The results showed two factors dominated the metals variability (83.4% of total variance) that Cd and Pb, were dominated by PC1 whereas Cr, Cu and Ni charged by another factors and Zn was affected by both two components. Analysis of CA for the sampling sites showed that among all of anthropogenic pollutions, industrial wastewater was major sources of heavy metals especially for Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn in the PRE.

Carbon emissions from rural energy combustion have not been successfully addressed in the existing accounting system since incomplete data of rural energy consumption and exclusion of emissions from combustion of biofuels in the sectoral or national totals to avoid double counting. Presented in this paper were estimations of CO 2 emissions from fuel combustions in rural areas of China from 1979 to 2007 and analysis of their contributions to national energy related CO 2 emissions, to highlight the important role rural energy plays in regard to climate change and potential capacity for carbon abatement in rural areas. The temporal variations of CO 2 emission in rural areas was also analyzed with regard to total emissions, intensity and source structure, which could provide a novel perspective to our GHGs reduction strategies and related policy making. The results showed that the CO 2 emissions in rural China have constantly increased from 8.89×10 8 tons in 1979 to 28.74×10 8 tons in 2007. Commercial energy has become the dominant force of CO2 emissions in rural China, most of which is mainly derived from the consumption of coal and electricity. The proportion of carbon emissions from rural areas to nationwide underwent an inverted U-curve trend if biomass energy was ignored, with a peak at 47.40% in 2000. The situation becomes absolutely different when considering about biomass. For a long time (from 1979 to 2001), rural energy related carbon emissions has maintained a greatly high proportion in total carbon emissions with a fluctuations between 45.13% and 56.31%. The proportion of carbon emission in rural areas has declined since 2002, but still up 40.99% in 2007.
