Opis:
W świetle postępującej degradacji środowiska naukowcy i inżynierowie szukają coraz bardziej zaawansowanych metod pozwalających na ochronę, remediację i rekultywację ekosystemów. Obecnie preferowane są rozwiązania holistycznie, biorące pod uwagę nie tylko aspekty środowiskowe, ale również ekonomiczne i społeczne. Fitotechnologie to metody remediacji i zatrzymywania zanieczyszczeń oparte o wykorzystanie roślin, procesów zachodzących w ich tkankach oraz w ryzosferze. Zwiększanie pokrywy roślinnej powiększa pojemność środowiska poprzez filtrację wody, kontrolę cykli biogeochemicznych, a także tworzenie siedlisk i zwiększanie bioróżnorodności. Rośliny mają też pewną wartość estetyczną, dlatego ich wykorzystanie w celu rozwiązywania problemów środowiskowych jest mile widziane przez społeczeństwo. Wśród zalet fitotechnologii należy również wymienić ich koszt, który szacunkowo jest około 10-20% niższy niż analogicznej skuteczności rozwiązanie tradycyjne (Vaněk i inni 2010). Dobór odpowiedniego rozwiązania podyktowany jest celem przedsięwzięcia. Najczęściej wykorzystywane rozwiązania zatrzymujące zanieczyszczenia to stabilizujące pokrywy roślinne i drzewne bariery hydrauliczne. Rozwiązania mające na celu zniszczenie zanieczyszczenia to pokrywy i drzewostany fitoremediacyjne. Część rozwiązań ma potencjał remediacyjny, ale także zatrzymuje zanieczyszczenia, to m.in.: strefy buforowe, adaptowane zbiorniki małej retencji oraz oczyszczalnie hydrofitowe. Wykorzystanie fitotechnologii ograniczone jest stężeniami zanieczyszczeń, których rośliny mogą nie przetrwać oraz warunkami klimatycznymi i sezonowymi, a także koniecznością poświęcenia dużego obszaru pod uprawę. Ponadto zabiegi wykorzystujące rośliny są stosunkowo nowymi rozwiązaniami i jeszcze nie wszystko wiadomo o ich możliwościach i konsekwencjach użycia.
Phytotechnologies are plant based technologies of remediation and containment of pollutions. Many advantages of phytotechnologies such as control of water and biogeochemical cycles, positive impact on soil characteristics and lowering the risk of erosion, contaminant immobilization and destruction, habitat restoration, low costs of implementation, and high public acceptance, decide that in more and more cases it is a preferred and recommended method of rehabilitation. Vegetation selected to the particular site conditions and having required characteristics will shape other biotic communities. It is thus immensely important to gather detailed knowledge about all the elements and processes occurring at the place of interest, before employing adequate phytotechnology application.

Opis:
Ship engines emit noxious gases (SO2, NOx, and VOC) and particulate matter (PM), mostly black carbon. Since 1990, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations gradually restricted the level of emission of NOx, which since 2016 have to be lower than 2-3.4 g/kWh, depending on engine power. SO2 emission reduction has begun since 2010 and now the content of sulphur in marine fuels is limited to 3.5%. At the same time, the Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECA) has been established, at which the sulphur content in fuel cannot be higher than 0.1%. Since 2020, only a fuel of 0.5% sulphur can be used at all cruising areas outside SECA. It should be noted that due to lack of efficient technology, IMO still has not issued regulations regarding the PM emission by ships. The paper discusses various electrostatic techniques used for the reduction of PM emission in Diesel engine exhausts. Electrostatic scrubber systems, using seawater, allow removal of PM from exhausts with high efficiency and simultaneously SO2 gas. Electrostatic agglomerators allow increasing submicron and nanoparticles by coagulation of those particles to the larger ones, which could be removed by conventional techniques.

Opis:
The present study was initiated to understand the accumulation of toxic heavy metals in sediments of Bhavan's College Lake of Andheri, Mumbai. The study was performed for a period of one year starting from June 2011 to May 2012 to quantify the toxic heavy metals like Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni, Fe, Hg, As and Cd by atomic absorption spectroscopy technique coupled with cold vapour technique (for Hg analysis) and hydride generation technique(for As analysis). It was observed that the yearly average concentrations of these heavy metals in lake sediments were 0.53, 0.25, 0.42, 0.43, 4.6, 0.14, 0.12 and 0.11 ppm respectively which were above the WHO limits for aquatic life and CPCB limits for inland surface water. These heavy metals accumulated in lake sediments may enter the water thereby creating threat to aquatic life. They may enter the food chain through biomagnifications and may create adverse effect on human health. It is expected that in addition to the water analysis which is practiced for years, sediment analysis performed in the present investigation will help in evaluating quality of the total ecosystem of the lake. It will also provide environmentally significant information about natural and anthropogenic influence on the water body.

Opis:
Because of industrialization and modernization, phenomenal changes have taken place in almost all spheres of life. Consequently, the consumption of energy resources and the cases of environmental hazards have risen to an unprecedentedly high level. A development model with due consideration to nature and an efficient utilization of energy sources has become the need of the hour, in order to ensure a sustainable balance between the environmental and technological needs. Recent studies have identified the suitability of ionic liquids (ILs), often labeled as ‘green solvents’, in the efficient utilization of energy resources and activities such as bio-extraction, pollution control, CO2 capture, waste management etc. in an environmentally friendly manner. The advent of magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have opened possibilities for a circular economic approach in this filed. This review intends to analyze the environmental and energy wise consumption of a wide variety of ionic liquids and their potential towards future.

Opis:
The coal mine waste dumps located in the southern provinces of Poland pollute groundwater with metals. As a result of batch experiments presented in the paper, it can be said that it is possible to remove chromium and copper from the groundwater (which is affected by acid mine drainage, thus characterized by low pH) with the use of zero-valent iron in permeable reactive barrier technology. The contaminants are removed from the aquifer by the flow of groundwater through a reactive barrier filled with a special reactive material. Rapid metal removal likely occurred due to the reduction and the precipitation/co-precipitation and/or due to the adsorption onto the iron metal surface or/and onto the iron corrosion products. In accordance with the research it has also been found that in more alkaline environment, the oxidation of Fe(0) proceeds slower. A rapid decrease of the redox potential as well as the increases of pH have also been observed in the batch tests when the dose of Fe(0) in solutions increased.

Opis:
The paper addresses the problem of real-time emission control in a given set of air pollution sources. The approach applied utilizes the optimal control technique for distributed parameter systems. A set of pointwise emission sources with a predefined location and emission characteristics is considered as the controlled object. The problem is formulated as on-line minimization of an environmental cost function, by the respective modification of emission level in the controlled sources, according to the changing meteorological conditions (e.g. wind direction and velocity). Dispersion of atmospheric pollution is governed by a multi-layer, dynamic model of SOχ transport, which is the main forecasting tool used in the optimization algorithm. The objective function includes the environmental damage related to air quality as well as the cost of the controlling action. The environmental cost index depends on the current level of SOχ concentration and on the sensitivity of the area to this type of air pollution. The adjoint variable; related to the main transport equation of the forecasting model, is applied to calculate the gradient of the objective function in the main optimization procedure. The test computations have been performed for a set of major power plants in the industrial region of Upper Silesia (Poland).

Opis:
Biofuel production to power compression ignition engines on a small scale, using alkaline catalysts is not a difficult process. The problem could be the collection of excess alcohol, which is used during production in this conduct of process of biofuel. The authors attempted to develop the control algorithm of alcohol evaporation process, in the "field esterification plant" which is used to produce biofuels on demands for Department of Mechatronics and Information Technology Education Chair of University of Warmia and Mazury. The article describes the mobile installation used for the production of biofuels and requirements, which this installation should conform, working in a variety of conditions. The installation should work properly with different mixtures of components with different proportions of vegetable and animal fats mixed with methyl or ethyl alcohol. The algorithm controls the process in a way that it was possible to use of not only methyl alcohol, but also other alcohols, at variable temperature of refrigerant cooling excess alcohol vapours. The adaptive control algorithm of alcohol evaporation process improves the efficiency of system operation by reducing production time and decrease of electricity power and water (needed to cool the heat exchanger) consumption. Software upgrade also affects the quality of the obtained final product, as well as on the whole process.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of environmental regulations on employment in China. We apply a quasi-natural experiment on the revision of Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law in 2008 (WPPCL2008), and we analyze manufacturing sectors’ reaction to WPPCL2008 by using a differences-in-differences approach based on China’s thirty five sectors at the 2-digit level from 2003 to 2014. Our results show that although environmental regulations can reduce waste-water emissions, at the same time cause a decrease in employment. The results suggest that stringent environmental regulation is not cost free. Furthermore, this finding contradicts the popular view that the effect of Chinese legislation enforcement is insignificant.
W tym artykule analizujemy wpływ środowiskowych regulacji prawnych na zatrudnienie w Chinach. Przygotowaliśmy eksperyment odnoszący się do poprawionej Ustawy o zapobieganiu zanieczyszczeniom wody i kontroli jakości wód z 2008 r. (WPPCL2008) i przeanalizowaliśmy reakcję na zmienione prawo ze strony sektora produkcyjnego korzystając z metody DID (differences-in-differences), uwzględniając 35 sektorów występujących w Chinach i 2-cyfowy poziom pomiędzy 2003 a 2014 r. Otrzymane rezultaty pokazują, że surowe regulacje środowiskowej nie są wolne od kosztów. Co więcej, okazuje się, że są one sprzeczne z poglądem, że chińskie prawodawstwo jest nieistotne.

Opis:
Objectives Expanding the information on exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) at home and its associates is of great public health importance. The aim of the current analysis was to evaluate associates of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke among economically active male and female adults in Poland in their place of residence. Material and Methods Data on the representative sample of 7840 adults from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) carried out in Poland in the years 2009 and 2010 were applied. The Global Adult Tobacco Survey is a nationally representative household study. The logistic regression model was used for relevant calculations. Results The exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in the place of living affected 59% of studied subjects. Out of non-smokers 42% of males and 46% females were exposed to the ETS in the at home. Increased risk of residential ETS exposure was associated with low education attainment, lack of awareness on adverse health consequences of second hand smoke (SHS), low level of support for tobacco control policies, living with a smoker. One of the factors associated with the ETS exposure was also the approval for smoking at home of both genders. The residential ETS exposure risk was the highest among males (odds ratio (OR) = 7.1, 95% confidence interval (CI): 6.1–13.8, p < 0.001) and females (OR = 8.1, 95% CI 6.5–11.8, p < 0.001) who declared that smoking was allowed in their place of residence compared to respondents who implemented smoking bans at their place of residence. Conclusions Campaigns to decrease social acceptance of smoking and encourage adopting voluntary smoke-free rules at home might decrease the ETS exposure and reduce related risks to the health of the Polish population. Educational interventions to warn about adverse health effects of the ETS should be broadly implemented particularly in high risk subpopulations.

Opis:
In this study, non-sintered ceramsite was prepared using coal gasification coarse slag obtained from a methanol plant. The basic performance and heavy metal leaching toxicity were analyzed. The results showed that seven out of nine non-sintered ceramsite groups were in accordance with the national standard of compressive strength (5 MPa), while only three groups met the national standard of water absorption index of less than 22%. The heavy metal concentrations in these three groups were found to be lower than that specified in National Class IV of surface water environment standards. The concentration of Cr was found to be 16.45 μg/L, which represents only 1% of the IV standard. The optimum mixing ratio, which showed high compressive strength (6.76 MPa) and low water absorption (20.12%), was found to be 73% coal gasification coarse slag, 15% cement, and 12% quartz sand. The characterization using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the formation of gelatin in ceramsite enhances the performance of the ceramsite base and increases the immobilization of heavy metal. The study proved that the preparation of non-sintered ceramsite using coal gasification coarse slag reduces its environmental risk and achieves efficient utilization of the slag. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is a feasible and environmental friendly method for the disposal of coal slag.

The subject of the study was to evaluate the stability and reliability of the sewage treatment plant in Nowy Sącz. The scope of the analysed indicators included the main indicators of wastewater contamination: BOD5(biochemical oxygen demand), CODCr (chemical oxygen demand), total suspended solids (TSS), total nitrogen (Ntot), and total phosphorus (Ptot). The operation stability of the sewage treatment plant in Nowy Sącz was determined on the basis of control cards x for 24 observations made in the period 2018-2019 (2 years). Moreover, the technological reliability of the tested sewage treatment plant (WN) was determined based on the values of the analysed pollution indicators in treated sewage and their permissible values. On the basis of the conducted analyses, full stability of the removal process of most of the analysed contaminants was found. In no case was there any crossing of the control lines, only a single grouping of samples above the help line in the case of total nitrogen, which could indicate a periodical disturbance in the stability of the removal process of this compound. On the basis of the obtained values of the reliability coefficient, which were below WN=1.00, reliable operation of the analysed facility was found, with a high degree of reduction (ƞ) of the analysed pollutants. The method of determining the technological reliability and stability of the treatment plant with the use of control cards is an effective and easy tool for detecting any disturbances and instabilities in the processes taking place in the tested facility. It enables the operator to take quick action to remove them, thus ensuring a safe wastewater treatment process for the environment and human health.

Opis:
Objectives Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) constitutes a threat to the health of many people. In order to diminish ETS exposure, countries (including Poland) implemented legal restrictions of smoking in public places and worksites. Currently more attention is also paid to reduce overall and residential ETS exposure by voluntary smoke-free home policy adoption. The aim of current analysis was to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of implementing smoking bans at place of residence among economically active males and females in Poland. Material and Methods Data from cross-sectional, household study – Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS 2009–2010) were analyzed. The logistic regression model was applied for appropriate calculations. Results Out of 3696 studied subjects only 37.1% adopted total smoking ban within the home. Decreased likelihood of adopting total smoking bans was associated with current smoker status, low education attainment, lack of awareness on adverse health consequences of ETS, low level of support for tobacco control policies, and cohabitation with a smoker in both genders. Having smoke-free homes was also linked with age in women, place of residence and work smoking policy in indoor areas in men. Conclusions Targeted activities to encourage adopting voluntary smoke-free rules among groups least likely to implement 100% smoking bans in the home and activities to decrease social acceptance of smoking in the presence of nonsmokers, children, pregnant woman are urgently needed.

In this paper, a computer program based on a genetic algorithm is developed to find an economic solution for noise control in a forging workshop. Initially, input data, including characteristics of sound sources, human exposure, abatement techniques, and production plans are inserted into the model. Using sound pressure levels at working locations, the operators who are at higher risk are identified and picked out for the next step. The program is devised in MATLAB such that the parameters can be easily defined and changed for comparison. The final results are structured into 4 sections that specify an appropriate abatement method for each operator and machine, minimum allowance time for high-risk operators, required damping material for enclosures, and minimum total cost of these treatments. The validity of input data in addition to proper settings in the optimization model ensures the final solution is practical and economically reasonable.
