In recent years, air pollution is still a serious problem in China. Therefore, the government has further strengthened the pollution control measures for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) air pollution transmission channel cities ("2+26" cities). This study used real-time PM2.5 monitoring data from 176 air quality monitoring sites in "2+26" cities from 2015 to 2018. The temporal and spatial evolution characteristics of PM2.5 concentration in "2+26" cities were analysis by statistical analysis and Kriging interpolation method. The research results showed that: (1) From the analysed of time variation, the hourly variation presents a bimodal distribution, with the PM2.5 concentration reaching the peak at 9:00–10:00 O'clock and 22:00–00:00, and finally dropping to the lowest value at 16:00–17:00. The monthly change of PM2.5 concentration was almost the same, reaching the peak pollution concentration in December. The seasonal variation trend of the study area was almost the same, and the PM2.5 concentration had a small decline, except for the special changed in winter. However, autumn and winter were still the most polluted seasons, while the spring and summer were less polluted. (2) From the analysed of spatial variation, the pollution process started in November and ended slowly in March of the following year, with the worst and most extensive pollution in December. It was spread to surrounding cities by Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Xingtai and Handan in the central region, and the central area was the most polluted. In August, PM2.5 concentration was the lightest, with an average concentration of 42.4 μg/m3.

AbstractDissolved organic matter (DOM) in recovered groundwater from soil‐aquifer treatment (SAT) has the potential to generate harmful disinfection by‐products. This study investigated the reduction of mass and trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) of DOM fractions from secondary effluent during laboratory‐scale SAT. Using XAD‐8 and XAD‐4 resins, DOM was fractionated into three fractions: hydrophobic acid (HPO‐A), transphilic acid (TPI‐A) and hydrophilic fraction (HPI). HPO‐A was removed by 61.1%, TPI‐A by 54.9% and HPI by 75.0% as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) during the laboratory‐scale SAT, respectively. The reduction of THMFP from HPO‐A, TPI‐A and HPI was 27.24, 26.24 and 36.08%, respectively. Specific THMFP for each DOM fraction increased across the soil columns. HPO‐A was found to be the major precursor of THMs. THMFP was strongly correlated to ultraviolet light at 254 nm (UV‐254) for HPO‐A and HPI, while the relationship between THMFP and UV‐254 for TPI‐A was significantly poor.

This article examines the quantitative interrelations between sectoral composition of public spending and equilibrium (in)determinacy in a two-sector real business cycle model with positive productive externalities in investment. When government purchases of consumption and investment goods are set as constant fractions of their respective sectoral output, we show that the public-consumption share plays no role in the model's local dynamics, and that a sufficiently high public-investment share can stabilize the economy against endogenous belief-driven cyclical fluctuations. When each type of government spending is postulated as a constant proportion of the economy's total output, we find that there exists a trade-off between public consumption versus investment expenditures to yield saddle-path stability and equilibrium uniqueness. © 2014 Western Economic Association International.
