Opis:
Pharmaceuticals are long-lasting, biologically active substances that, when discharged into the natural environment, affect ecosystem stability. The presence of increasing amounts of pharmaceuticals and their transformation products in the environment has been a subject of growing interest. Many of the commonly used pharmaceuticals, especially analgesics and antibiotics, are used in quantities similar to those of agricultural chemicals, but are not required to undergo the same level of environmental risk assessment. The fate and behavior of medicines in the environment require further research. Human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and their metabolites are distributed in the environment in various ways. The incidence of medicines and their transformation products has been so far recorded in surface and ground waters, drinking water, bottom sediments, soils, wastewater and sewage sludge, as well as in animal organisms. The article presents issues related to the fate and behavior of pharmaceuticals both in the environment and in the processes of wastewater treatment, ecotoxicology and risk assessment.

Opis:
Environment is the integrated system, each and every factor of which is dependent on the other. Marine ecosystems are very important for the overall health of both marine and terrestrial environments. According to the World Resource Center, coastal habitats alone account for approximately 1/3 of all marine biological productivity, and estuarine ecosystems (i.e., salt marshes, seagrasses, mangrove forests) are among the most productive regions on the planet. In addition, other marine ecosystems such as coral reefs, provide food and shelter to the highest levels of marine diversity in the world. Marine ecosystems usually have a large biodiversity and are therefore thought to have a good resistance against invasive species. However, exceptions have been observed, and the mechanisms responsible in determining the success of an invasion are not yet clear. Changes among the factors an any ecosystem are permissible up to some extent. Induced hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracturing, also commonly known as fracking or fraccing) is a mining technique in which a liquid (in most cases water) is mixed with sand and chemicals and the resultant mixture injected at high pressure into a wellbore. This creates small fractures in the deep rock formations, typically less than 1mm wide, along which gas, petroleum and brine may migrate to the well. Hydraulic pressure is removed from the well, then small grains of proppant (sand or aluminium oxide) hold these fractures open once the rock achieves equilibrium. The technique is very common in wells for shale gas, tight gas, tight oil, and coal seam gas and hard rock wells. This well stimulation is usually conducted once in the life of the well and greatly enhances fluid removal and well productivity, but there has been an increasing trend towards multiple hydraulic fracturing as production declines. The first experimental use of hydraulic fracturing was in 1947, and the first commercially successful applications were in 1949. As of 2012, 2.5 million hydraulic fracturing jobs have been performed on oil and gas wells worldwide, more than one million of them in the United States. Proponents of hydraulic fracturing point to the economic benefits from the vast amounts of formerly inaccessible hydrocarbons the process can extract. Opponents of hydraulic fracturing point to environmental risks, including contamination of ground water, depletion of fresh water, contamination of the air, noise pollution, the migration of gases and hydraulic fracturing chemicals to the surface, surface contamination from spills and flow-back, and the possible health effects of these. There are increases in seismic activity, mostly associated with deep injection disposal of flowback and produced brine from hydraulically fractured wells. For these reasons hydraulic fracturing has come under international scrutiny, with some countries protecting it, and others suspending or banning it. Some of those countries, including most notably the United Kingdom, have recently lifted their bans, choosing to focus on regulation instead of outright prohibition. The European Union is in the process of applying regulation to permit this to take place.

Opis:
Bladder cancer is a disease characterized by an abnormal growth of cells in the urinary bladder. Potentially, it can infiltrate nearby tissues and metastasize to distant organs. It affects more than 3 million people, with over 430,000 new cases a year. Environmental risk factors have significant impact on the development of bladder cancer, with tobacco smoke being the single most significant risk factor. Arsenic, nitrates, and chlorine in drinking water are also potentially associated with an elevated risk of this disease. In this paper, we review most significant environmental risk factors for primary bladder cancer and analyze prevention methods.
Rak pęcherza moczowego jest schorzeniem charakteryzującym się nieprawidłowym wzrostem komórek w pęcherzu moczowym. Potencjalnie może naciekać okoliczne tkanki i dawać przerzuty do odległych narządów. Rak pęcherza moczowego dotyka ponad 3 miliony ludzi na świecie, a co roku diagnozowanych jest ponad 430 tysięcy nowych przypadków. Środowiskowe czynniki ryzyka mają znaczący wpływ na rozwój raka pęcherza. Dym papierosowy jest czynnikiem ryzyka o największym znaczeniu. Arsen, azotany i związki chloru zawarte w wodzie pitnej są prawdopodobnie związane z podwyższonym ryzykiem raka pęcherza moczowego. Celem tego artykułu jest przegląd środowiskowych czynników ryzyka pierwotnego raka pęcherza moczowego oraz analiza metod zapobiegania.

The study was carried out to assess ecological risks at the closed landfill in Cai Dau town, Chau Phu district, An Giang province. Soil samples were collected at six locations (S1-S6) at depths of 0-20 cm and 60-80 cm in the rainy season (November 2020) and dry season (March 2021). The soil quality was evaluated using eight heavy metals (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb, Cr and As). The results showed that most monitoring sites had heavy metal contents within the allowable limits for agricultural land of QCVN 03-MT:2015/BTNMT. Some heavy metals have been found to migrate to the soil layer of 60-80 cm. The heavy metals accumulation (Igeo) in the two soil layers did not differ; Ni, Cr, Pb and As accumulated at non-polluting levels - moderate to high in the rainy season, while Cr and As only accumulated in the dry season. The composite pollution index (PLI) indicated that the locations around the landfill were polluted; however, the ecological risk ranged from low to moderate (potential ecological risk index (PERI) = 102-195) in the rainy season. Only about 50% of study sites during the dry season were contaminated and the risk was low (PERI = 44-68). However, the area around the landfill always poses potential risks due to the presence of heavy metals, including Ni, Cr, As and Pb. Monitoring the heavy metals in the surrounding landfill for the potential risks to human health and environment is needed.

Opis:
The article is devoted to the development of methodical approaches to the management of environmental risks due to pesticide contamination of agrocenoses. An assessment of ecological risks due to the use of pesticides was carried out at the scientific research field of the Skvirskaya research station of organic production of the IAP of the National Academy of Sciences during the growing seasons of 2019–2021. The methods of assessing the ecological risks of potential pesticide contamination of agrocenoses based on the indicators of the agroecotoxicological index (AETI) and the ecotoxic impact of harmful substances (E) were used on the natural environment. It was shown that the level of environmental risk due to the use of pesticides in the research field of the station according to the weighted average indices (AETI) is characterized as low – risk, and the environmental risk due to the pesticides using is minimal. According to indicators of ecotoxicity (E), the pesticides that were used are characterized as having a low potential ecotoxic risk of impact on agrocenoses of cultivated plants. However, the total pesticide ecotoxicological load (ΣЕ = 0.425 compared to the standard EDDT = 1) indicates the possibility of disruption of ecological connectivities in the agroecosystem. One of the elements of environmental risk management can be the assessment of the pesticide load on agroecosystems and considering of the territory ability to self-clean. In order to minimize the environmental risks of pesticide contamination of agrocenoses, measures should be taken to regulate the use of chemical plant protection agents. This can be done by banning or limiting the use of pesticides that have a high level of ecotoxicity and are persistent in the soil. This will contribute to increasing the ecological safety of agro-ecosystems and the natural environment.

Opis:
Sustained casing pressure (SCP) represents a major issue because of its large scale occurrence and risks to health, safety, and the environment. Present regulatory assessment of sustained casing pressure is mostly qualitative with implicit risk formulation. It currently holds that wells with casing head pressure that can be bled-down to zero and is followed by slow 24-hour pressure buildup are below acceptable level of risk. This study introduces new quantitative metrics of well integrity loss risk - the instant cement sheath leak rate of 15 scf/min (barrier integrity), and the total annual environmental gas discharge of 6 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC) per year. Field data from 19 wells reportedly affected by sustained casing pressure (SCP) are examined with a SCP testing software to assess whether or not wells with pressure that is able to bleed to zero would meet the proposed criteria. Using modeling and software tools developed by Xu and Wojtanowicz (2001) and Kinik and Wojtanowicz (2011), it is determined that three of the 19 wells (15.8) examined would fail the instant leak rate criterion. On the total discharge criterion, assuming the wells' annuli above the cement top filled out with seawater, it was also found, again, that 15.8 percent of the wells would fail the total environmental discharge criterion. Moreover, for the worst-case scenario of absolute open gas flow (empty annulus above the cement top), five of 19 wells (26.3) would fail the criterion. It is shown that - statistically, the bleed-down of casing pressure to zero gives a 90-percent confidence of the well passing the proposed criteria. Furthermore, no clear correlation was observed between pressure build-up and the barrier integrity or the environmental gas discharge criteria, thus questioning the 24-hour pressure buildup relevance as a risk indicator.

Opis:
The issues discussed in the paper concern the assessment of changes in quantitative and qualitative indicators of water resources in the climatic conditions of the southern part of Kazakhstan. For this purpose, many years of systematic field observations and other continuous data obtained from the functioning measurement and observation stations operating within the Aral-Syrdarya Basin Inspection were used. On the basis of the obtained data, indicators were determined that characterize the quantity and quality of water supplied to the soil in the irrigation process, as well as the quantity and quality of water flowing out of the drainage systems, together with an evaluation of the effectiveness of irrigation and drainage systems. Soil salinity was assessed in five irrigated massifs with a total area of 332.55 thous. ha. For the same irrigated massifs, the annual amounts of water taken for irrigation, the amount of outflowing water and the assessment of the mineralization level were determined. Based on the developed results of field observations characterizing the hydrological and environmental situation of the lower section of the Syr Darya River in 1960–2015, the negative reaction coefficients were calculated for the local population, soil and vegetation for five of the irrigated massifs of the Kyzylorda region. The ecological situation of the habitat of soil and plants in the lower reaches of the Syr Darya River in all irrigation areas deteriorates on a time scale, since as a result of the reclamation of agricultural lands, intensive secondary soil salinization occurs and the formation of infiltration runoff with high mineralization, contributing to the violation of the harmonization of the relationship between nature and man.

Opis:
Environmental risk assessment is one of the key tools in environmental engineering. This risk assessment can be qualitative or quantitative and it is based on preliminary studies i.e., baseline study for waste disposal sites. Even though the literature exists on baseline study in general, still there is a lack of guidance regarding development of a site-specific baseline study model for a waste disposal site. This study has two-fold aim, firstly, how to develop site-specific baseline study model for a selected dumping site, and secondly, how this site-specific baseline study can support the environmental engineering via mathematical risk estimation. Mahmood Booti Open Dumping Site (MBODS) is selected to demonstrate the development and application of site-specific baseline study model. This is followed by building a framework that shows how the output of the baseline study can lead to environmental engineering via mathematical risk estimation. The paper provides a mechanism of how to construct a bespoke baseline-study model that is readily useable, avoiding procurement of expensive computer software and yet smoothly connecting with the follow-on stages of the risk assessment. The work presented in this paper can be reproduced repeatedly to create site-specific baseline study models for risk assessment of other waste disposal sites in a cost-effective, consistent and cohesive manner.

Opis:
The main objective of this study was to estimate the environmental and health risk of the Šar Mountains (Kosovo) for depleted uranium contamination. The risk assessment of the contamination is needed since, in the spring of 1999, conflict with bombarding took place in the territory of the Western Balkans, during which depleted uranium ammunition was used. In Serbia and Montenegro, such tests were performed; based on them, some territories were decontaminated. Šar Mountains is particularly important as it is one of the few water-rich areas in Kosovo. Therefore, soil and water samples were taken from characteristic places in the Šar Mountains aquatorium. Tests of the samples were performed under well-controlled conditions. The measurement uncertainty was less than 5%. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that there was no contamination of the Šar Mountains with depleted uranium. This conclusion can be extended to the broader area around the Šar Mountains, as it is a safe area surrounded by high mountains

Opis:
Purpose: The paper focuses on the comparison of climate and environmental protection activities undertaken in the largest commercial banks in Poland. The second aim is to present conditions for inclusion of environmental and climate risk analysis in the process of monitoring financial stability. Design/methodology/approach: Banks’ standalone audited statements for 2018 were used as a source of data. In defining 8 key areas of environmental risk management within the ESG, the banks’ environmental and climate actions were systematised to draw conclusions on the nature of the initiatives taken and on which types of banks in a given area express commitment and whether it is related to the bank’s scale, shareholding structure and financial standing. Findings: The scope of information on a bank’s involvement in the environmental and climate protection process is not uniform. In the case of smaller private banks and banks with a dominant Treasury shareholding in the ownership structure, this scope is much smaller than in the case of large and medium-sized private banks belonging to global financial holdings. A particularly important commitment to environmental and climate protection in the sector concerns banks belonging to European capital groups that have signed up to international agreements on economic decarbonisation. The scarce information provided by banks with a dominant Treasury shareholding results from the high level of exposure of these banks to companies from high-carbon sectors, also owned by the Treasury. Commercial banks in Poland place the main emphasis on presenting their direct impact on the environment (reduction of energy and other media consumption, recycling and environmental campaigns). Research limitations/implications: The research is limited to the commercial banking sector and only to one reporting period. However, there are no constraints to apply the proposed approach to other samples and for longer data series, and then build a methodology of environmental rating. Originality/value: This article is the first comparative analysis of the involvement of Polish commercial banks in environmental and climate protection. Its results are particularly useful for investors for whom ESG criteria constitute important determinants of decisions. JEL: E52, E58, G01 Acknowledgements This research received no funds.

Cel: celem badania jest sformułowanie wniosków z analizy porównawczej działań na rzecz klimatu i ochrony środowiska podejmowanych w największych bankach komercyjnych w Polsce, a także identyfikacja uwarunkowań włączenia analizy ryzyka środowiskowego i klimatycznego w proces monitoringu stabilności finansowej. Metodologia: jako źródło danych posłużyły jednostkowe sprawozdania banków za rok 2018. Definiując osiem kluczowych obszarów zarządzania ryzykiem środowiskowym w ramach ESG, działania banków na rzecz środowiska i klimatu usystematyzowano w celu wyciągnięcia wniosków odnośnie do charakteru podjętych inicjatyw oraz tego, które rodzaje banków w danym obszarze wykazują zaangażowanie i czy ma to związek ze skalą banku, strukturą jego akcjonariatu oraz standingiem finansowym. Wyniki: zakres informacji na temat zaangażowania określonego banku w proces ochrony środowiska naturalnego oraz klimatu nie jest jednolity. W przypadku mniejszych banków prywatnych oraz banków z dominującym udziałem Skarbu Państwa w strukturze własnościowej zakres ten jest zdecydowanie mniejszy niż w przypadku dużych i średnich banków prywatnych, należących do globalnych holdingów finansowych. Szczególnie istotne zaangażowanie w ochronę środowiska i klimatu na tle sektora dotyczy banków należących do europejskich grup kapitałowych, które przystąpiły do międzynarodowych porozumień w zakresie redukcji emisyjności gospodarki. Skąpa informacja przekazywana przez banki z dominującym udziałem Skarbu Państwa w akcjonariacie wynika z wysokiego poziomu ekspozycji tych banków wobec spółek z sektorów wysokoemisyjnych, należących również do Skarbu Państwa. Banki komercyjne w Polsce kładą główny nacisk na prezentację swojego bezpośredniego wpływu na środowisko (redukcja zużycia energii i innych mediów, recycling oraz kampanie ekologiczne). Ograniczenia/implikacje badawcze: badanie ograniczone jest wyłącznie do sektora banków komercyjnych i wyłącznie do jednego okresu sprawozdawczego. Nie ma ograniczeń, aby ją zastosować na innej próbie i dla dłuższego szeregu danych, a następnie zbudować metodologię konstrukcji ratingu środowiskowego. Oryginalność/wartość: przedmiotowy artykuł jest pierwszą analizą porównawczą zaangażowania polskich banków komercyjnych w ochronę środowiska i klimatu. Jego wyniki są szczególnie przydatne dla inwestorów, dla których ESG jest ważną determinantą decyzji. JEL: E52, E58, G01 Acknowledgements This research received no funds.

Resettlement programmes in riverbank areas remain an alternative solution to overcoming the problems of urban flooding, the addressing of which can also lead to reducing slums. Such programmes have many weaknesses, but even so, several countries continue to implement them. This paper will elaborate: 1) an understanding that reductions in flood risk and enhancements to environmental quality along riverbanks can be realised, without the need for resettlement, as a result of co-operation between local communities, governments and businesses; 2) the socio-economic benefits of improving the riverbank environment in Tridi Kampong, Malang City, Indonesia. This study employed qualitative and quantitative methods. The results of quantitative analysis and of interviews and direct observation indicate that collective action by the community has the greatest influence on the construction of that community’s commitment to improving the environment. Environmental improvements have resulted in significant socio-economic benefits by making the kampong a domestic and international tourism destination and drawing increased numbers of visitors to the region.

Opis:
The numerous studies of risk perception to date have been focused on three different areas of the subject. Firstly, researchers have aimed at the identification of risk perception determinants, secondly, they have created recommendations on how to communicate the risk to society, and finally they have analysed the relationships between risk perception measures and the means of risk control implemented in organizations. The last indicated research area is complemented by the following paper. On the basis of data derived from online interviews it was concluded that the higher the assessment of the measures of environmental insurance risk perception, the more frequently organizations implemented selected means of risk control in the environmental management system according to ISO 14001 (EMS ISO 14001). The largest number of statistically significant dependencies were observed in the area of variables which describe the informative potential of EMS ISO 14001 (informative potential variables) and those which directly determine the volume of environmental insurance risk (the volume of risk variables). Simultaneously, not all categories of risk perception measures are equally related to the frequency of risk control means implementation. A particularly large number of statistically significant correlations were identified for the following variable: the evaluation of the likelihood of the occurrence of environmental damage.

Na podstawie danych pozyskanych w drodze ankiety elektronicznej ustalono, że wysoka ocena mierników percepcji ubezpieczeniowego ryzyka środowiskowego jest statystycznie powiązana z wdrożeniem wybranych środków jego kontroli w ramach systemu zarządzania środowiskowego ISO 14001 (SZŚ ISO 14001). Najwięcej istotnych statystycznie zależności zidentyfikowano pomiędzy zmiennymi opisującymi mierniki percepcji a zmiennymi dotyczącymi potencjału informacyjnego SZŚ (zmienne potencjału informacyjnego) oraz tymi, które bezpośrednio determinują wielkość ryzyka (zmienne wielkości ryzyka). Jednocześnie nie wszystkie kategorie mierników oceny percepcji ryzyka są w jednakowym stopniu powiązane z częstością wdrożenia działań kontrolnych ryzyka. Najwięcej istotnych statystycznie zależności zidentyfikowano dla zmiennej Subiektywna ocena prawdopodobieństwa realizacji szkody w środowisku lub innego negatywnego wpływu na środowisko.

Opis:
The heavy metals mean serious risk in environmental pollution. Some of them are essential for many organisms in a low concentration, but the others should be toxic at low concentrations, too. The heavy metals are contacted through the food chain with living organisms. Industrial, transport and municipal waste origin effects of contaminants appear more and more in environmental pollution, and many of which earlier and nowadays got a large amount of heavy metals into the environment. Therefore, over the last few decades the trace element analytical examination of the various biological and human samples has become increasingly important. The human biological samples for trace element analysis of reliably detected many cases of occupational disease, poisoning, environmental hazards, and using the results of analyzes of health status can be characterized. This paper presents an example for the correlation of the concentration in human hair and in the environment of different heavy metals. The valley “Parád-Recsk, Hungary” has special geological capabilities. In the area of “Recsk” according to the deep drilling of mine company large amounts of copper, lead, zinc minerals have been identified. In “Parádsasvár, Hungary” worked glassworks from the early 1900s until 1995 and lead crystal glass was produced, which increased the air and soil lead content. In this area were monitored the quantities of heavy metals in soil and the human hair analysis by Flame Atomic Adsorption Spectrometry (FAAS).
Metale ciężkie stanowią poważne zagrożenie jako zanieczyszczenia środowiska. Niektóre z nich są niezbędne dla wielu organizmów w niskim stężeniu, ale pozostałe mogą być toksyczne również w małych stężeniach. Metale ciężkie ulegają translokacji poprzez łańcuch pokarmowy do żywych organizmów. Zanieczyszczenia pochodzenia przemysłowego, transportowego i z odpadów komunalnych coraz częściej zanieczyszczają środowisko, a wiele z nich dostarcza dużą ilość metali ciężkich do środowiska. Dlatego w ciągu ostatnich kilku dekad coraz ważniejsze staje się badanie różnych pierwiastków w próbkach biologicznych i ludzkich. Analiza ludzkich próbek biologicznych na obecność pierwiastków śladowych pozwala również wykryć wiele przypadków chorób zawodowych, zatruć, zagrożeń środowiskowych i dokonać oceny stanu zdrowia. W artykule przedstawiono przykład korelacji stężeń różnych metali ciężkich w ludzkich włosach i w środowisku. Dolina "Parád-Recsk, Węgry" ma szczególne cechy geologiczne. W obszarze "Recsk" wzdłuż głębokich odwiertów kopalni odkryto duże ilości miedzi, ołowiu i cynku. W "Parádsasvár, Węgry" działała huta szkła od wczesnych lat XX w. do 1995 r., gdzie wytwarzano szkło ołowiowe, co zwiększało zawartość ołowiu w powietrzu i w gruncie. Na tym obszarze monitorowano ilości metali ciężkich w glebie i w ludzkich włosach za pomocą absorpcyjnej spektrometrii atomowej z atomizacją płomieniową (FAAS).

Opis:
The article considers the problem of rationing wastewater discharge in terms of environmental risk management, caused by the pollution of waterbodies. The cases of using a simple indicator of water quality in the form of concentration of a substance, as well as a complex indicator of water quality were considered. The relevance of using a complex indicator is caused by the similar effect of various substances on the ecosystem and man. For both cases, the algorithms for determining the permissible composition of wastewater, ensuring compliance with the established standards of natural water quality in the control points of the water body with a given probability, were developed. In the case of using complex indicators in order to unambiguously solve the problem of rationing wastewater composition, permissible concentrations of substances were finally determined by solving the optimization problem. The optimization criterion is the minimum cost of water treatment. The method of ecological standardization of wastewater composition suggested in the article is applicable for the case of normal probability distribution of a substance in wastewater according to data of field measurements.
