Selection of Wetland Plants for Wastewater Treatment of Persistent Toxic Substances by Constructed Wetlands in Hong Kong
Municipal wastewater treatment facilities are not specifically designed for treating persistent toxic substances (PTS), released from various industrial sources such as car dismantling, and electronic-waste recycling activities. These toxic chemicals entered into the sewage treatment plants (STWs) through point source discharge and urban runoff. The removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and four metals (Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni) and Zinc (Zn)), the most abundant contaminants detected in the final effluent in our previous study (in Shatin STW and Stonecutters Island STW) and nutrients (Ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3−)) by wetland plants will be investigated. Three wetland plant species with the best performance in removing pollutants (PAHs, Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, NH4+, NO3−) will be identified from the local environment via both field and greenhouse experiments. Their resistance to the pests commonly found in Hong Kong wetland plants (e.g. Pomacea canaliculatas (apple snail)) and water level fluctuations will also be studied. River water samples, sediment and plant specimens will be collected for chemical analyses. Bioaccumulation factors (BAFs), biota to sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) of the four metals and the quasi-equilibrium factor (αpt) of PAHs will be derived from their concentrations in the water, sediment, and plant samples collected from different sites for selecting the most suitable plant community for specific contaminants. The selected wetland plants will be applied in a pilot-scale constructed wetland experiment, and the removal of PTS by different plant associations will be examined in both monoculture and polyculture. The study is expected to raise the interests of general public in wastewater treatment and exchange knowledge with professionals in the field, through publications, seminars and scientific meetings. The present study may also help to provide valuable information for dealing with water pollution problems in fresh water bodies (e.g. rivers and streams) by using constructed wetlands in the nearby region of Pearl River Delta.

Effect of Heavy Metal Pollution on Male Fertility and Its Mechanism
Heavy metal (such as lead, cadmium, chromium, etc.) exposure has become an urgent public health problem in Hong Kong over the last few months. It has also been recognised that high heavy metal level may have adverse effects on adults, one of which is reproductive function leading to abnormal semen parameters and reduction of male fertility. However, the results are not by any means conclusive as several confounding variables could have affected the observations. Now in Hong Kong, there is a window of opportunity to study the relationship, if any, between heavy metal level in the blood and semen parameters in couples presenting with infertility. In this study we are going to investigate this issue and the mechanism behind it. To determine if there is a significant relationship between blood heavy metal level and semen parameters, and the possible mechanism.

Safe and Quality Fish Production: Development of High Grade Pellets Using Food Wastes for Three Popular Marine Fish
The ultimate goal of this project is to make use of local ingredients (food wastes and food processing wastes) to formulate fish pellets for the local aquaculture industry. Positive impacts on the environment, society and the marine aquaculture industry could be finally achieved, by promoting the sustainable development of the industry, both economically and ecologically. The main objectives of the present project are to: (1) develop suitable feed formulations for 3 different popular marine fish species, namely Sabah grouper, Pompano and Star snapper, using primarily local ingredients (food wastes and food processing wastes); (2) conduct laboratory-scale feeding trials on the growth performance of the 3 species; (3) conduct field-scale feeding trials to validate results obtained by laboratory-scale feeding trials; and (4) assess potential health risks of cultured products, in terms of concentrations of major undesirable chemicals contained in fish flesh.

Upgrading Food Wastes as Feeds for Inland Fish Culture in South China
The major objective of this project is to upgrade food wastes as feeds for culturing freshwater fish in a safer and healthier environment, at a lower cost and producing fish with fewer contaminants (such as DDT and mercury) than the commercial feed pellets available in South China, based on our previous successful projects: (1) Appropriate combinations of food wastes (meat and vegetables) are able to replace a major portion of fish meal for cultivating safe and quality low-trophic level fish, at a lower cost. (2) Additions of probiotics and enzymes can further enhance the feed conversion ratio of feeds, and the immunity of fish. (3) Additions of Chinese medicinal herbs can enhance the immunity of fish (e.g., against intestinal infection of grass carp). Major experiments will be conducted at The Hong Kong Institute of Education (chemical and physiological analyses), EcoPark (laboratory-scale feeding trials) and fish ponds located in the New Territories (field-scale feeding trials). The upgraded food waste feed pellets will also be produced in the EcoPark. It is hoped that this project will (1) turn food wastes into valuable resources by fermentation using microorganisms, (2) provide safe and quality freshwater fish, at a lower cost, (3) enhance fish immunity using Chinese herbal medicine, instead of using antibiotics and other drugs, and (4) partially ease the pressure of treating/disposing the ever increasing amount of food wastes generated in Hong Kong.

Ecological and Health Risk Assessments of Major Persistent Toxic Substances (PTS) in Deep Bay Area, in Relation to Their Removal Efficiency in Yuen Long and Shek Wu Hui Sewage Treatment Works
Mai Po Marshes have been facing increasing contamination in recent years, because of the discharge of domestic sewage, livestock wastewater, industrial effluent and agrochemicals into Deep Bay from the Pearl River, Shenzhen River and Shan Pui River. This may affect the migratory birds due to consuming organisms which may contain high levels of persistent toxic substances (PTS). We hypothesize that Yuen Long Sewage Treatment Work and Shek Wu Hui Sewage Treatment Work have different removal efficiencies for different PTS, and some of the PTS (As, Hg, Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, DDT, PBDEs, PAHs and erythromycin) will find their ways into the Ramsar site and may impose adverse effects on biota, migratory birds and humans. Major objectives of this study are as the following: (1) To assess the removal efficiencies of PTS in different stages of Yuen Long and Shek Wu Hui STWs, and (2) To evaluate their concentrations and spatial distributions around the Ramsar site (by means of different bioassay tests ), and to conduct human health risk assessments (based on the studied PTS contained in shrimps- and fish)

Field Study on Constructed Wetland in Removing Pollutants from Combined Village Sewage
The construction of River Channels at Ta Kwu Ling of Ping Yuen River was completed in April 2006, aiming at improving the flow capacity of the river, to alleviating local flooding of the areas, during the wet seasons (DSD, 2007). In order to improve the visual impact and maintain habitat for wildlife, the channel embankments were generally covered by reinforced grass and/or perforated precast concrete base (i.e. grasscrete). Other environmental friendly features included aquatic planting bays along and adjacent to certain dry-weather flow channels, for maintaining a natural appearance. The geotextile mat was used to enhance the erosion resistance, by providing effective anchor to the root systems of grasses, forming a composite soil/root mat. Detailed instructions with regards to maintenance and repair of various facilities including those which serve as support for plants, such as the geotextile mat for reinforced grass system, aquatic planting bays and associated gabion walls, and pond features, were provided (DSD, 2007). Constructed wetlands are effective in purifying contaminants in wastewater which include domestic wastewater (with high biological oxygen demands and nutrient contents such as nitrogen and phosphorus), as well as industrial wastes (dominated by heavy metals and other toxic chemical compounds, such as pesticides and phenols, pending on the type of industries). There seems to be a need to conduct this proposed project, as some of the vegetation originally planted at the site, were not able to survive, and part of the areas have been taken over by some undesirable plant species. The major objectives of this investigation are to (1) use wetland plants for purifying wastewater, stabilizing the embankment as well as improving the scenic value of the site; (2) create habitats using different wetland species suitable for a wide range of biological organisms, such as dragonflies, snails, fish, etc); and (3) raise environmental awareness concerning ecological balance and biological conservation for school students as well as the general to use the sites as open-air classrooms.

Green Slope Engineering: Bioengineered, Live Cover Systems for Man-made Fill Slopes and Landfill Capillary Barriers in Hong Kong
The prime objectives of this project are to investigate and improve fundamental understanding of root-soil-water interactions and to develop an innovative and environmentally friendly reliability-based preliminary design framework for an integrated bioengineered live cover for man-made fill slopes and landfill capillary barriers” in Hong Kong. A capillary barrier is an earth layered system, which makes use of unsaturated hydraulic characteristics of different types of soils to minimize rainfall infiltration and to drain away infiltrated water quickly. This live cover will be self-regenerative and sustainable (almost maintenance free). Five major research tasks will be carried out by a multi-disciplinary research team. The five research tasks are field monitoring and site characterization of man-made fill slopes and landfills, centrifuge and numerical modelling of bioengineered fill slopes and landfill capillary barrier systems, development of an integrated quality assurance scheme and a preliminary reliability-based design methodology for bioengineered slopes. Findings from this project will provide new insights into the behaviour of bioengineered slopes and landfills in Hong Kong. A novel, specific reliability-based preliminary design guideline will be developed for the design, construction, management and restoration of bioengineered live cover systems on both man-made fill slopes and landfill capillary barriers. The guideline will set out performance standards, technical information, procedural mechanisms (integrated design, construction and operational phases), and will provide necessary supporting data.

The major objectives of this proposed project are to (1) conduct a field survey and desktop survey linked with AFCD’s database so as to update the status of local fish ponds; (2) raise the overall fish yield, by enhancing the feed conversion and digestibility of food wastes (e.g. soybean meal, bread, rice and vegetables) used as fish feed, by adding probiotics (e.g. baker yeast) and enzymes (papain and/or bromelain); (3) produce safe and quality fish products by cultivating low-trophic level fish species (such as grass carp and grey mullet), in order to avoid biomagnification of certain persistent pollutants (i.e. pesticides and mercury) along the aquatic food chain; and (4) validate the feasibility of restoring/reactivating some of the ponds for aquaculture, (by recycling food wastes as fish feeds), based on cost benefit analyses. The major purpose of this proposed project is to redevelop the local inland fishery industry in order to produce safe and quality fish products; and to promote recycling of food wastes.The purpose of the project is to redevelop the local inland fishery industry in order to produce safe and quality fish products; and to promote recycling of food wastes.
