Opis:

Introduction. Cardiovascular disease is the first cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Among several known risk factors, researchers also focus their attention on the chronic exposure to air pollution. There is much evidence that exposure to air pollution, especially to ultrafine particles, can damage the endothelium and can favour cardiovascular diseases in the general population. Occupational exposition could be an additive risk factor for the cardiovascular system. This article presents a scientific review of the linkage between occupational exposure to air pollution and ischemic heart disease. Materials and method. A scientific review was undertaken, followed by PRISMA Statements. Observational studies were selected from several scientific databases, likesuch as Pubmed, Google Scholar, Nioshtic-2 and Reserchgate, searching for selected key words: police workers, professional drivers, mail carriers, filling station attendants, road cleaners, garage workers, motor vehicles and engine maintenance. All the key words were combined with “Boolean Operators” with the following words: cardiovascular (or cardiac) disease, cardiovascular function, cardiovascular system, ischemic heart disease, coronary disease, myocardial infarction. During the systematic research, the focus was on retrospective and prospective studies from January 1990 – December 2014. Results. Both the retrospective and prospective studies showed an increased risk of ischemic heart disease in occupationally occupied people exposed to air pollution. Only one study presented a ly minor risk. Conclusions. The findings of this systematic review suggest a possible linkage between occupational exposure to urban air pollution, especially to motor exhaust and particulate, and ischemic heart disease.

Opis:

This article aims to present the state of air quality treated as a measure of the state of quality of local environmental safety, based on the research conducted in the town of Barlinek. This information is necessary to identify the areas that require action to improve air quality (to reduce the concentration of pollutants). The main factors that inspired the author to address this issue are, first of all, the continuous high level of air pollution, despite the actions taken to reduce it; secondly, the lack of precise, clear indicators and measures of such deprivation that applies to a major part of the territory of Poland that would take into account the individual national context; thirdly, the need to identify the main factors that determine this phenomenon in the specific context of Poland. Other factors include the need to consider the requirement for Poland as a member state of the EU to participate in reducing air pollution to an appropriate extent; and, finally, the need to develop and implement integrated 10-year National Energy and Climate Plans (NECP) for the years 2021–2030 with a long-term perspective to the year 2050, as well as long-term renovation strategies to improve the accuracy of eliminating air pollution. The research problem focuses on three issues: presenting the current national and European criteria of ecological safety for air pollution, identifying the indicators and measures that enable the determination of air pollution levels, and presenting the local air pollution level based on the selected example. The research problem discussed in the article is empirical. Analytical/synthetic, qualitative and quantitative methods were used to provide a more in-depth analysis of the problem, and conclusions were drawn.

Opis:

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of thermal conditions on emission of PM10 in the atmosphere during the winter period in selected Polish cities. The basis of the work were average daily PM10 and air temperature measurement results, which were made in six cities during three of calendar winters (December-February) in 2011–2014. It has been shown that every decrease in temperature during the winter affects the increase in the concentration of PM10 in ambient air in most of the analyzed cities. The greatest role of air temperature in shaping emission of the fraction of particulate matter variability was found in a relatively cool winter 2011/2012, when the number of days with oversize levels of contamination ranged from 7 in Suwałki to even 46 in Nowy Sącz. The smallest impact of this weather element was found during a warm winter 2013/2014.

Opis:

Objectives The objective of this study was to present a technique for estimating the effect of ambient air pollution mix on health outcomes. Material and Methods We created a technique of indexing air pollution mix as a cause of the increased odds of health problems. As an illustrative example, we analyzed the impact of pollution on the frequency of emergency department (ED) visits due to colitis among young patients (age < 15 years, N = 11 110). Our technique involves 2 steps. First, we considered 6 ambient air pollutants (carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, ozone, and 2 measures of particulate matter) treating each pollutant as a single exposure. Odds ratios (ORs) for ED visits associated with a standard increase (interquartile range – IQR) in the pollutants levels were calculated using the case-crossover technique. The ORs and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were also found for lagged exposures (for lags 1–9 days). Second, we defined a Health Air Study Index (HASI) to represent the combined impact of the 6 air pollutants. Results We obtained positive and statistically significant results for individual air pollutants and among them the following estimations: OR = 1.06 (95% CI: 1.02–1.1, NO₂ lag 3, IQR = 12.8 ppb), OR = 1.04 (95% CI: 1.01–1.07, SO₂ lag 4, IQR = 2.3 ppb), OR = 1.04 (95% CI: 1–1.06, PM lag 3, IQR = 6.2 μg/m³). Among the re-calculated ORs with the HASI values as an exposure, the highest estimated value was OR = 1.37 (95% CI: 1.12–1.68, for 1 unit of the HASI, lag 3). Conclusions The proposed index (HASI) allows to confirm the pattern of associations for lags obtained for individual air pollutants. In the presented example the used index (HASI) indicates the strongest relation with the exposure lagged by 3 days.

Opis:

The environment is considered an ideal machine, a system in which nothing happens without reason. Every transformation, action and stimulus has consequences that are not always immediately plain to see. It is because the environment is like communicating vessels, or a complex organism, in which everything is interdependent, and the organs work together. Despite the processes’ complexity and intricate yet logical correlations between the elements, it is not a perfect system. Examples are weather anomalies and, in extreme cases, cataclysms. The problem arises when man interferes with the environment. By polluting almost every possible place, he initiates irreversible changes, degrading the environment. This paper presents an analysis of atmospheric air pollution in the town of Supraśl, surface water from the Supraśl river, and soil samples from a selected area.

The dynamics of emission of heavy metals compounds into the air in Vinnytsia region (Ukraine) in 2003-2010 years is analyzed. The level of pollution for compounds of some heavy metals (Cd, Hg) has arisen, for others – has decreased (Pb, Cr) or has not changed (As, Ni). The sources of such pollution are defined according to the amount of the emissions of heavy metals compounds in different sectors of economy. In Vinnytsia region they include transport, industrial plants and municipal sector. Great quantity of transport and hazardous materials are consdered as the reasons of increasing of heavy metals emissions. Usage of more environment friendly resources (e.g. unleaded gasoline, natural gas instead of coal) is defined as the reason of reduction of heavy metals emission.

Introduction:People spend about 90% of their time indoors. Most health problems associated with indoor air quality are caused by fungi. It is estimated fungi account for 70% of total indoor air microbial pollution.Purpose: To analyze fungal pathogens isolated from indoor air of Branicki Palace in Białystok, PolandMaterials and methods:The research mycological material consisted of air collected from various rooms in Branicki Palace. Humidity and temperature of the tested rooms were also measured. The monitoring of airborne fungi pollution was done using a SAS SUPER 100 (pbi international) with international measure standards (EN 50081-1, EN 500 50082-1). Biological monitoring of wall surface contamination was performed using the Count-Tact applicator with Count-Tact plates.Results:A total of 1140 CFU per m3 of air were cultured in autumn and 580 CFU in winter. From the walls, a total of 124 CFU were cultured in autumn and 397 CFU in winter. CFU values in the investigated rooms ranged from 10 to 220 (mean 47 CFU) in autumn, and from 10 to 90 (mean 29 CFU) in winter. The most commonly isolated pathogens were: Candida albicans, Aspergillus sp.,non-Candida albicans, andPenicillium sp.. The number of colonies isolated from the walls of all rooms in winter was greater than in autumn. The most commonly isolated pathogens were: Aspergillus sp. andC. albicans in autumn; C. albicans and non-C. albicans in winter.Conclusions:In winter, the number of colonies isolated from walls in all rooms was significantly greater compared with autumn. Candida albicans, Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. were the most commonly isolated fungal air pathogens, regardless of season. C. albicans and Aspergillus sp. were most commonly isolated from walls in autumn, while C. albicans and non-C.albicans in winter.

Opis:

The issue of air protection is a topic discussed in many scientific publications. How much air people breathe also largely depends on themselves. Therefore, there is a need for legal regulation as well as other instruments, such as people’s awareness for the state of air in Poland to systematically improve. Despite the reduction in pollutant emissions, air quality is still not good enough. The European Environment Agency estimates that several hundred thousand people die prematurely every year due to air pollution in Europe. The norms and standards imposed by legal instruments play a huge role in improving the air quality. These guidelines are based on scientific evidence of the health effects of air pollution, and standards, which are in most cases legally binding, must consider technical feasibility and the costs and benefits of a compliance. The paper analyzes the most important legal regulations concerning the air protection in Poland and Europe, concerning emission of pollutants into the air as a result of burning the solid fuels and in the transport sector.

In the article the results of experimental tests carried out on the modified SI two-stroke experimental combustion engine with direct fuel injection system and the prototype of the oxidizing catalytic converter are presented. Volumetric exhaust emissions of the most important chemical components are many times smaller than standard limits of gaseous emissions given by EU directive for the new stationary engines applied in non-road vehicles and machines Spark ignition two-stroke engine fitted with a catalytic reactor is characterized by high temperature of exhaust gases, which the energy may be used in cogeneration systems. The paper presents the test stand, volumetric concentration of the main components of exhaust gases, results of converted emissions and fuel consumption as a function of air excess coefficient at chosen rotational speeds together with the assessment of the test results. There is decreasing of CO and HC emission during increasing of air excess coefficient and a strong increase of CO2 behind the catalytic converter. Application of catalytic converter in the outflow system together with direct fuel injection of the tested two-stroke engine enables to achieve values of exhaust emission of main toxic chemical components close to automobile four stroke engines. The paper presents also the comparison of exhaust gas emission of this engine with other engines equipped with different fuelling systems. Presented work is the successor of a wide range of research work in the field of development of modern two-stroke engines carried out in the Cracow University of Technology.

The International Maritime Organization set up a global strategy for reducing emission of sulphur from marine fuels, from 4.5% to 0.5% by the end of the year 2020. In order to such strategy, ship-owners need to fulfil increasing demands according to reduce pollution. New regulations, force ship-owners to reduce production of pollution, but as the devices create to remove some part of pollution are very expensive in use, began to search for cheaper and more effective solutions. The main aim of this article is to present superiority of using gas fuel over liquid fuel on ships. The construction of marine engines, run by a gas fuel is in the scope of interest of scientist’s research during the last couple of years. This branch of technology develops very dynamic recently, according to savings that can be reach while using gas engines on ships. Apart of cost reduction, new types of marine engines are able to cope with more and more restrictive regulations that are published in international convention MARPOL. Such restriction became the reason for the biggest, international corporations, specialists in engines production, to carry on long-term researches on new ways to power ship engines. One of the world’s greatest engine producer is British Rolls-Royce that became pioneer and built the first gas engine. New power unit, Bergen B-gas B35:40V is the one of the most modern type of such engine in the world. The solid construction of this engine was based on engine B32. It became very efficiently because of many rationalizations in maintenance and exploitation. Two main priorities, while developing conception for this model, were minimization of fuel consumption and operating simplification. The authors of these article present advantages of using marine engines powered by gas, according to the international MARPOL regulations that became very restrictive in order to protect marine environment. As the examples were used products of Rolls-Royce Company.

In the paper, the authors made an analysis of mechanisms of the toxic components formation of exhaust gases in the direct injection engines. The genesis as well as the typical engine construction solution with the use of direct injection in diesel engines and these with positive ignition was developed. The typical construction solution of the Common Rail (CR) system, which is one of many elements increasing the purity of exhaust gases, was also presented. The basic advantages of direct injection, especially in case of the positive ignition engine, were also briefly described. Then, the mechanism for the formation of toxic components of exhaust gases in the direct injection diesel engines was presented. Moreover, the definition and dependency on the indicated mean effective pressure were shown, and the closed indicator graph, which is indispensable to calculate values of this pressure, was also (graphically) presented. In this paper, the mechanisms and processes, with the use of which it is possible to reduce the emission of toxic components of exhaust gases, were quoted. The exhaust gas recirculation with the EGR valve, which allows supplying the exact amount of gases to the engine inlet system, is such an example. The advantages of using this type of solutions were described, and a typical construction solution was presented in the diagram. The paper was completed with a conclusion, which emphasised the importance of direct injection on reducing the emission of toxic components of exhaust gases.

Opis:

Air pollution, both gaseous and in the form of dust, is a problem that affects numerous densely built-up areas of modern cities. Based on this assumption, the authors of the following paper have examined an exemplary part of urban space with various building developments located in Warsaw downtown. Both experimental and numerical studies were conducted for the two prevailing wind directions observed in this area, that is the west wind and the south-west wind. Experimental research was conducted with the application of two known laboratory techniques, i.e., the oil visualization method and the sand erosion technique. The studies were conducted in an open-circuit wind tunnel. Commercial ANSYS Fluent program was used for numerical simulations. The k-e realizable turbulence model, often applied for this type of tasks, was used in the calculations. As a result, distributions of the velocity amplification coefficient were obtained in the area under consideration, as well as images that present the averaged airflow direction. On basis thereof, potential zones where contamination accumulation may occur were determined. The impact that introduction of a hypothetical high-rise building into the area would exert on wind conditions in its vicinity was also tested. High-rise buildings tend to intensify airflow in their immediate vicinity. Thus, they can improve ventilation conditions of nearby streets. However, in this particular case, the research prompted the conclusion that the proposed building causes turbulence and increased velocity gradients in the majority of elevation planes. On the other hand, in the ground-level zone, the building blocks rather than intensifies the airflow.

Opis:

In excessive concentrations, the tropospheric ozone (the so-called trioxygen O₃) constitutes a serious threat to the ecosystems of our planet. It is a threat to the health and life of people. In plants, it contributes to disruption of the most important biochemical processes. The purpose of this study was to assess atmospheric air pollution with tropospheric ozone in selected rural villages of the Lubelskie region in the years 2015–2017. Assessment of air quality in the Lubelskie region in terms of the content of tropospheric ozone, which is significant for the protection of plants and human health, was carried out in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Environment of 24 August 2012 on the levels of certain substances in the air, as well as more restrictive guidelines of the World Health Organization. The research used the hourly values of automatic measurements of the tropospheric ozone immission in the years 2015–2017. The data originated from three measurement stations, which function as part of the Air Quality Monitoring System, in three rural communes located in the north-western, central and southern part of the Lubelskie region. As a result of implemented research, no tropospheric ozone concentrations exceeding the threshold values, at which the public should be informed about the risk of exceeding the alarm level, were noted. The highest mean tropospheric ozone immission was recorded during the calendar summer and calendar spring, while the lowest was recorded during the calendar winter and autumn. In terms of human health protection, the largest exceedances of the maximum mean 8-hour value of tropospheric ozone were recorded during the calendar summer at Florianka station, which was located at the highest position (270 m above sea level) in relation to other measurement stations covered by this study. In terms of plant protection, the mean tropospheric ozone concentration, expressed with the use of AOT40, did not exceed the applicable target level (18 000 μg∙m^-3∙h) at any of the measurement stations. The highest mean value of AOT40 was recorded at the Florianka meteorological station (14 653.9 μg∙m^-3∙h), while the lowest was recorded at the Jarczew station (7 486.2 μg∙m^-3∙h).

Introduction and objective. Burning coal and firewood generates toxic emissions that are associated with respiratory illness, cardiovascular disease, and even death. The aim of the study is to evaluate the association between county-level prevalence of household coal and firewood use and health outcomes, including total, respiratory, and cardiovascular mortality, as well as total and respiratory hospitalization rates. Materials and method. The ecological study included data on the use of household coal and firewood in 139 counties obtained from the 2015 Chilean National Socio-economic Characterization Survey. Total, respiratory, and cardiovascular mortality, as well as total and respiratory hospitalization rates, were obtained from the Department of Health Statistics. Poisson models with robust error variance, Pearson linear correlation coefficients, and scatterplots were used to explore associations between household coal and firewood use and morbidity-mortality, stratifying by geographic zone. Results. Total, respiratory, and cardiovascular mortality and total and respiratory hospitalization rates were 5.7 per 1,000, 552 per 100,000, 157 per 100,000, 92.5 per 1000, and 8.8 per 1000 inhabitants, respectively. The median prevalence of coal use for residential cooking, heating, or water heating was 3.64%, while the median prevalence of firewood combustion was 12%. In southern counties, age- and gender-adjusted respiratory mortality increased 2.02 (95% CI: 1.17–3.50), 1.5 (95% CI: 1.11–1.89), and 1.76-fold (95% CI: 1.19–2.60) for each percentage increase in household coal and firewood use for heating, cooking and heating water, respectively. Conclusions. The prevalence of household coal and firewood used for heating and cooking was positively correlated with respiratory mortality and hospitalization in southern zone counties.

Opis:

The metallurgic industry is one of the main sources of environmental pollution. It emits dust, which contains manganese oxides, iron oxides, zinc and lead oxides that could be deposited in soil. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the local metallurgical industry on soil contamination with metals released during processing using Pb-210 as a contamination tracer. Soil samples were collected from 19 sites located around the Opole industrial zone, in which, for example, welding and galvanizing companies operate. In the studies, various types of sampling sites were taken into account, such as the forests, meadows, fields and allotment gardens. The activity measurements of Bi-214, Pb-214, Cs-137 and Pb-210 were performed, using a gamma spectrometer. Applying the properties of the latter isotope, the local level of soil contamination was estimated. The results indicated that the metallurgical industry is not a source of environmental pollution in the immediate vicinity. The excessive lead concentrations ranged from 1 Bq/kg d.m. to 100 Bq/kg d.m. and were not strongly correlated with the distances from the presumed source of contamination.

Opis:

There is growing interest in the use of biogas as a fuel for transport applications. Some of the drivers behind this are the increasing regulation and taxes on waste disposal, an increasing need for renewable fuel sources, the EC’s Biofuels Directive, the proposed Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), measures to improve local air quality and the need for clean transport fuels in urban areas. The aim of this paper is to present the potential role of biogas as a transport fuel. Biogas is produced from the process of anaerobic digestion of wet organic waste, such as cattle and pig slurries, food wastes and grown wet biomass. To be used as a transport fuel biogas has to be upgraded to at least 95% methane by volume and it can then be used in vehicles originally modified to operate on natural gas. Biogas fuelled vehicles can reduce CO2 emissions by between 75% and 200% compared with fossil fuels. The higher figure is for liquid manure as a feedstock and shows a negative carbon dioxide contribution which arises because liquid manure left untreated generates methane emissions, which are 21 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than CO2. Hence there is a double benefit by reducing fossil emissions from burning diesel and reducing methane emissions from waste manure; Biogas will give lower exhaust emissions than fossil fuels, and so help to improve local air quality. The paper sets out the resource that is available for producing biogas, together with the basic details of production technology. It goes on to explore how this gas can be used in vehicles, describing the basic technology requirements. The energy data and the costs of producing on biogas as a transport fuel are presented.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the elements and PM10 concentrations in air samples gathered in the winter of 2017/2018 in two small towns, namely Skala and Wadowice. The chemical elements were identified for each sample using the energy dispersive X-ray method. The spectrometer was equipped, among others, with an Mo-X-ray tube which was the source of the photons and the Si(Li) detector. The following chemical elements: Cl, K, Fe, Ca, Zn, Pb, Br, Ti, Cu, Mn, V, Co, Rb, Ni, Sr, and Cr were identifi ed in the samples. In addition, As and Se were identifi ed in Wadowice. First, the results were compared with each other and then with the results for the nearest city. It was observed that the PM10 concentrations were significantly higher than the UE limit value for PM10, which equals 50 gm−3 per 24 h. Moreover, the high concentrations of, among others, K, Pb, Cl or Zn, are likely to be linked with fossil fuels combustion and biomass burning. The levels of element concentrations in Wadowice and Skala resemble the levels observed several years earlier in Krakow.

The article is divided into several parts. The first one shows the scale of the problem – the enormous danger to human health posed by breathing bad quality air. The second part discusses the cause of the lack of serious action taken by the Polish government, namely the power of the mining lobby. The third part focuses on those aspects of contemporary reality that do not allow politicians to fully manipulate society (in the context of the smog problem). The fourth part contains a closer look at the grassroots social initiatives of the citizens; it describes the activities of Poles who try to counter smog. The last part includes the conclusions as well as some ideas on how to help Poles breathe better quality air.

Opis:

Excessive concentrations of smog toxicants constitute a critical factor influencing the health quality of inhabitants of urban agglomerations. The exposure to elevated concentrations of suspended particulate matter, sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) is associated with an increase of adverse health effects. Prolonged exposure to air pollution, especially from low emission, may be linked not only to a greater risk of developing cancer of the respiratory system, or cardiovascular morbidity but also to the increased frequency of admissions to hospitals and emergency units as well as medical consultations in surgeries and outpatient clinics. The issue was investigated using the city of Cracow as an example. Attempts were made to find the connection between air pollution in the city of Cracow and the frequency of hospitalization and medical consultations of patients (registered in the city) due to lung and bronchial malignancy and cardiac dysrhythmia taking into account the data from the years 2010-2016 submitted by the Malopolska Regional Branch of the National Health Fund.

Opis:

Propagację zanieczyszczeń powietrza można opisywać za pomocą modeli deterministycznych, wykorzystujących równania różniczkowe fizyki atmosfery lub modeli fenomenologicznych analizujących statystycznie zebrane dane pomiarowe. Zgodność obu typów modeli z danymi rzeczywistymi jest różna, zakres i sens ich stosowalności także są inne i wielokrotnie wybór modelu jest określony celem jego stosowania oraz posiadanym zbiorem danych. W przypadku analizy propagacji zanieczyszczeń w dużych aglomeracjach przemysłowych stosowanie modeli deterministycznych jest praktycznie niemożliwe ze względu na potrzeby w zakresie danych (charakterystyka źródeł topografii terenu, charakterystyk meteorologicznych itp.) i dlatego próbuje się wykorzystać fenomenologiczne podejście do problemu opisu propagacji z zastosowaniem różnych technik obliczeniowych - od prostych metod statystycznych do sieci neuronowych.
Predicting of pollutants concentrations is very crucial for big cities and industrial agglomerations. It allows introduction of possible preventive activities with purpose of prevention to accumulation of concentrations as well warning people of possible states being dangerous to health for people from risk group, i.e. elders, people with cardiovascular diseases or people with respiratory system diseases. Upper Silesian Industrial Region (GOP) is one of the most polluted regions in Poland. Because of the location of several important heavy industrial plants it is necessary to constantly monitor concentrations of various dust and gas pollutants in this area. The paper presents the possibilities of stochastic modeling of air pollutants on the basis of data collected by monitoring stations and their application to pollutants concentrations forecasting. The data from following heating seasons from monitoring station in Zabrze concerning SO2 concentrations was applied to the analysis. The obtained models were statistically evaluated. Efficient modeling of daily SO2 concentrations should be based on regressive models with weights as well on adaptive approach to concentrations modeling dependably on forecasted synoptic situations. Documented heuristically statistical models allow to state that at unambiguous synoptic situation distinguished by low temperatures and windless weather, average limit values of concentrations of pollutants are expected to be exceeded. It is a manifestation of the compatibility of models with reality. An example of this is smog in Cracow recorded before the end of 2010, at meteorological conditions described above. The use of statistical methods of description of measurement data from the station allows for more accurate interpretation and documentation of the existing quantitative and even qualitative dependencies, which is not provided by purely numerical methods of modeling and predicting (e.g. neural networks).

Opis:

The aim of the study is to present the FAPPS (Forecasting of Air Pollution Propagation System) based on the CALPUFF puff dispersion model, used for short-term air quality forecasting in Krakow and Lesser Poland. The article presents two methods of operational air quality forecasting in Krakow. The quality of forecasts was assessed on the basis of PM10 concentrations measured at eight air quality monitoring stations in 2019 in Krakow. Apart from the standard quantitative forecast, a qualitative forecast was presented, specifying the percentage shares of the city area with PM10 concentrations in six concentration classes. For both methods, it was shown how the adjustment of the emissions in the FAPPS system to changes in emissions related to the systemic elimination of coal furnaces in Krakow influenced the quality of forecasts. For standard forecasts, after the emission change on June 7, 2019, the average RMSE value decreased from 23.9 μg/m3 to 14.9 μg/m3, the average FB value changed from -0.200 to -0.063, and the share of correct forecasts increased from 0.74 to 0.91. For qualitative forecasts, for the entire year 2019 and separately for the periods from January to March and October to December, Hit Rate values of 5.43, 2.18 and 3.48 were obtained, the False Alarm Ratios were 0.28, 0.24 and 0,26, and the Probability of Detection values were 0.66, 0.75, and 0.74. The presented results show that the FAPPS system is a useful tool for modelling air pollution in urbanized and industrialized areas with complex terrain.
Celem opracowania jest zaprezentowanie systemu FAPPS opartego o model dyspersji obłoku CALPUFF, wykorzystywanego do prognozowania krótkoterminowego jakości powietrza w Krakowie i Małopolsce. W artykule opisano system modelowania oraz przedstawiono dwie metody operacyjnego prognozowania jakości powietrza w Krakowie. Dla każdej z metod przedstawiono sposób przeprowadzenia oceny sprawdzalności prognoz. Jakość prognoz oceniano na podstawie stężeń pyłu zawieszonego PM10 mierzonych w ośmiu stacjach monitoringu jakości powietrza w 2019 roku w Krakowie. Oprócz standardowej prognozy ilościowej zaprezentowano jakościową prognozę obszarową, określającą udziały procentowe powierzchni miasta ze stężeniami PM10 w sześciu klasach stężeń. Dla obu metod pokazano jak dostosowanie emisji w systemie FAPPS do zmian emisji związanych z systemową eliminacją palenisk węglowych w Krakowie wpłynęło na jakość prognoz. Po zmianie emisji w dniu 7 czerwca 2019 średnia wartość RMSE spadła z 23,9 μg/m3 do 14,9 μg/m3, średnia wartość FB zmieniła się z -0,200 do -0,063, a udział poprawnych prognoz wzrósł średnio z 0,74 do 0,91. Jakość prognoz obszarowych oceniono dla całego roku 2019 i dwóch okresów sezonu grzewczego od stycznia do marca i od października do grudnia. Dla całego roku i obu okresów grzewczych uzyskano odpowiednio wartości Hit Rate równe 5.43, 2.18 i 3.48, wartości współczynnika fałszywych alarmów FAR równe 0.28, 0.24 i 0.26, a wartości prawdopodobieństwa wykrycia POD równe 0,66, 0.75 i 0.74. Przedstawione wyniki pokazują, że system FAPPS jest użytecznym narzędziem do modelowania zanieczyszczenia powietrza w zurbanizowanym i uprzemysłowionym terenie o skomplikowanej rzeźbie terenu.

W artykule przeanalizowano źródła emisji zanieczyszczeń gazowych i pyłowych w Polsce w ostatnim dziesięcioleciu. Dokonano również oceny redukcji zanieczyszczeń atmosferycznych dla poszczególnych województw naszego kraju. W analizowanym okresie największy udział w emisji tlenku siarki (IV) miała energetyka zawodowa, zaś najmniejszy źródła mobilne. W przypadku tlenków azotu największy udział w ich emisji przypadał na źródła mobilne, zaś najmniejszy na technologie przemysłowe. W latach 2000-2009 największy udział w emisji zanieczyszczeń pyłowych miały źródła stacjonarne, z wyłączeniem energetyki zawodowej i przemysłowej oraz technologii przemysłowych, natomiast najmniejszy – energetyka przemysłowa. W analizowanym dziesięcioleciu stwierdzono 18% spadek emisji przemysłowych zanieczyszczeń gazowych z poziomu 2083,2 tys. ton w roku 2000 do 1703,9 tys. ton w 2010 roku oraz 65% redukcję przemysłowych zanieczyszczeń pyłowych z poziomu 180,5 tys. ton w roku 2000 do 62,5 tys. ton w 2010. W analizowanym okresie najwyższe wartości emisji przemysłowych zanieczyszczeń gazowych (bez CO₂) odnotowano w województwie śląskim, mazowieckim, łódzkim i małopolskim, zaś najniższe w podlaskim i warmińsko-mazurskim. Z kolei najwyższe emisje przemysłowych zanieczyszczeń pyłowych odnotowano w województwie śląskim, zaś najniższe w województwach podlaskim, warmińsko-mazurskim i lubuskim.
The study deals with the sources of emission of gas and dust pollutants in Poland in the last 10 years. Furthermore, the assessment of reduction of atmospheric pollutants in particular voivodeships of our country was performed. During the considered period, the greatest contribution to emission of sulfur (IV) oxide was that of utility power plants, whereas the smallest one was made by mobile sources. In the case of nitrogen oxides, the greatest contribution was made by mobile sources and the smallest one – by industrial technologies. In the years 2000-2009 the greatest contribution in the dust pollutants was made by stationary sources, excluding utility and industrial power plants and industrial technologies whereas the smallest one – by industrial power plants. In the analysed 10-year period the decrease of 18% in emission of industrial gas pollutants was observed (from 2083,2 tones in the year 2000 to 1703,9 tones in the year 2010. Moreover, the decrease of 65% in industrial dust pollutants was recorded (from180.5 tones in the year 2000 to 62,5 tones in the year 2010). In the considered period the highest values of emission of industrial gas pollutants (without CO₂) was observed in the following voivodeships: Śląskie, Mazowieckie, Łódzkie and Małopolskie whereas the lowest – in Podlaskie and Warmińsko-Mazurskie. On the other hand, the highest emission of industrial dust pollutants was recorded in the Śląskie voivodeship whereas the lowest – in the Podlaskie, Warmińsko-Mazurskie and Lubuskie voivodeships.

Outdoor air quality data including atmospheric CO concentration, obtained from the own measured and data from the weather platform “freemeteo”. The measurements were carried out with the following variants: outside air, a room ventilated without people, nonsmokers, smokers and non-smoking people, smokers entering the room after smoking cigarettes, smokers who smoke in the room. As proven by measurements, carbon monoxide carried in the lungs by smokers has low concentrations and should not threaten the health of non-smoking users of rooms. The maximum concentration of carbon monoxide in the room was 1.4 ppm. In the external air, the average concentration of carbon monoxide was exactly as much as reported in the literature – 0.3 ppm.

Opis:

Air pollution arises mainly from automobiles and industries is well known fact. Monitoring and detection by instrument cannot be possible everywhere however, indication from plant species by their alterations in leaf morphology and anatomy may be a suitable easy screening measurement. The present study aims to detect morphological features with special reference to gall quantification and anatomy of leaves of Alstonia scholaris R. Br., found in eastern Indian urban and suburban area that are exposed to vehicular emission. The results indicated alterations of leaf morphology along with length (L), breadth (B), L/B ratio and significantly increased (P < 0.001, 0.01 and 0.05) Air Pollution Index (API). It is concluded that vehicular emission can be monitored as an early indication through increased API in A. scholaris. Further research would be needed in relation to secondary metabolites alteration, biochemical and genetic parameters to know pollutant susceptibility as an indicator. In addition, anatomical abnormalities in gall formation as well as numbers were also pronounced in leaves exposed to various load of air pollution.

Introduction. Population increasingly draws attention to the issues concerning the environment degraded by the progress of civilization and the impact of this process on health. However, public awareness of the risk exposure to indoor contaminants is lagging a long way behind knowledge regarding outdoor environmental hazards. The aim of the study was to assess the risk perception related to exposure to indoor environmental factors in the population of Silesia. Materials and methods. In this study the electronic version of a questionnaire survey – downloaded on the website www.moja-ankiety.pl. was used. During the 3-months duration of the project 552 subjects participated in the survey. In the study participated the Silesian Voivodeship inhabitants such as chat rooms users, newsgroups and online forum participants. Data analysis was performed by using statistical program – STATA Version 8 SE [9], where the Kruskall-Wallis test and χ 2 test were applied. Statistical significance was assessed at p value *0.05. Results. Despite the low perception of environmental health hazards inside the dwellings, the majority of respondents were able to indentify health effects and ways to reduce exposure to indoor air pollution. Both gender, place of residence, education level and age significantly affected the level of perception of respondents on the risk connected with exposure to indoor air pollution. Conclusion. It is necessary to continuously work on raising public awareness of environmental health hazards in confined spaces, the causes of their occurrence, types, effects and above all the ways to counter these threats.
Wstęp. Populacja mieszkańców zwraca coraz większą uwagę na kwestie związane z degradacją środowiska w wyniku postępu cywilizacyjnego i skutku tego procesu na zdrowie. Jakkolwiek ich świadomość narażenia na zanieczyszczenia wnętrz jest znacznie mniej zaawansowana w stosunku do zagrożeń środowiskowych z zewnątrz. Celem tego badania była ocena ryzyka związanego z narażeniem na czynniki środowiskowe wnętrz u mieszkańców województwa śląskiego. Materiały i metody. W tym badaniu zastosowano ankietę w wersji elektronicznej umieszczonej na stronie internetowej www.moja-ankiety.pl. W czasie trzymiesięcznych badań udział wzięło 552 uczestników, mieszkańców województwa śląskiego takich jak: użytkownicy czatów, grup dyskusyjnych i forów internetowych. Analiza danych była przeprowadzona przy użyciu programu statystycznego STATA Version 8 SE [9], gdzie zastosowano testy Kruskall-Wallis i χ 2. Istotność statystyczna była oceniona na poziomie wartości p*0,05. Wyniki. Pomimo niskiej percepcji odnośnie zdrowotnych zagrożeń środowiskowych wewnątrz pomieszczeń, większość respondentów była w stanie ocenić skutki zdrowotne i sposoby ograniczenia narażenia na zanieczyszczenia powietrza wnętrz. Zarówno płeć, miejsce zamieszkania, poziom wykształcenia jak i wiek wywierały znaczny wpływ na poziom percepcji respondentów co do ryzyka związanego z narażeniem na zanieczyszczenie powietrza wewnątrz. Wnioski. Koniecznym jest stałe podnoszenie społecznej świadomości dotyczącej środowiskowych zagrożeń zdrowia w pomieszczeniach zamkniętych, przyczyn ich powstawania, rodzajów, skutków i przede wszystkim sposobów zwalczania tych zagrożeń.

Opis:

Introduction: Due to dynamic industrialisation smog became a frequent phenomenon in most developing cities. According to the last WHO report from Global Urban Ambient Air Pollution Database, Krakow has been classified in the 11th place among the most polluted cities in Europe. It seems to be an urgent issue because of the influence of air pollution on the condition of upper respiratory tract. Materials & Methods: In December 2015 there were 141 patients aged 17-91 years with upper respiratory tract diseases admitted to the phoniatric outpatient clinic in the University Hospital in Cracow. They suffered from cough, hoarseness and periodic aphonia. On the basis of the results of videolaryngostroboscopy 60 patients with exacerbation of the chronic laryngitis were selected into two numerically equal groups: from Cracow and from other places at least 60 km away. The groups were equal to each other also in three categories: sex, age and voice usage. The patients were referred to the Pedagogical University in Cracow for laryngography to evaluate the movement of the vocal folds and to trace a voice profile. Finally, there were two possible types of treatment – conventional pharmacotherapy or subterraneotherapy in the underground Health Resort in the "Wieliczka" Salt Mine. Results: Pearson correlation coefficient between the distance from the place of residence to Cracow and the scale of exacerbation of inflammation of upper respiratory tract presenting as vocal fold dysfunction was observed (r= 0,617; p<0,05). Conclusion: The place of residence (in or out of the industrial area) and exacerbations of chronic laryngitis are highly correlated. Air pollution seems to be the main factor influencing on the condition of upper respiratory tract. In our local conditions of Lesser Poland Voivodeship subterraneotherapy may be an interesting, non-invasive method preventing from exacerbations of upper respiratory tract diseases.

Opis:

Objectives Ambient air pollution, as many publications indicate, may have associations with skin condition. The aim of this study has been to examine such common relations for cellulitis and pharyngitis. The hypothesis is that ambient ground-level ozone may help bacteria to penetrate skin or throat. Material and Methods We used the emergency department (ED) visits data in Edmonton, Canada for the period from 1992 (April) to 2002 (March). We retrieved all the diagnosed ED visits for cellulitis and pharyngitis. Case-crossover design was used to study potential association between ozone and those visits. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results The results are reported for the interquartile range (IQR = 17.9 ppb) for 8 h maximum ozone. Positive and statistical significant results were obtained as follows: for lags from 0 to 3 (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.03–1.12, lag 2); for lags from 0 to 6 days (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03–1.12, lag 3); for lags from 0 to 4 (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.03–1.09, for lag 2 and 3). Conclusions The findings suggest the response to exposure to ambient ground-level ozone for skin and pharyngitis considered separately and jointly.

Urban areas are characterised by the impact of negative environmental factors, such as: stress connected with extreme bio-thermal conditions or the presence of high concentrations of air pollutants. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the hours of O₃ concentrations and the levels of physiological strain (PhS) in Legnica, during the period from December 2013 to November 2014. The hourly concentrations of O₃, NO₂ and meteorological elements used in the study were obtained from the State Environmental Monitoring station in Legnica (Lower Silesia). The evaluation of the bio-thermal conditions was carried out by means of the physiological strain indicator (PhS). The basic statistics were subject to analysis, the frequency of hourly pollution concentrations and the thermal strain were evaluated, as was the Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression between O₃ and PhS. A detailed analysis was carried out for the summer months (June-August). The most adverse conditions in terms of pollution with tropospheric ozone and heat strain were noted in July. The strongest relations between O₃ and PhS were observed in June. In winter months (December-February) no significant dependencies were noted between the tested variables. These tests will help to contribute to increasing the current knowledge on evaluating the thermal comfort of urbanised areas and the accompanying aero-sanitary conditions.

Opis:

Air pollution (especially near industrial enterprises that are located mainly in densely populated regions) is one of the most significant problems of modern ecology. The purpose of this research is to study nitrogen dioxide air pollution over Ukraine, which has a negative impact on human health. As part of the research over the territory of Ukraine, the real planar distribution of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) as well as its local emissions (which make the main contribution to this distribution) were revealed using the materials of the remote sensing of the Earth from the AURA satellite. The results were calculated for the multi-year period of 2005 through 2021 and separately for 2022, which characterized the full-scale war in Ukraine and which made it possible to identify priority polluters; namely, industrial enterprises (thermal power plants, heavy metallurgy enterprises, etc.). For 17 years, the average value of NO2 was 160.78 · 102 molecules/mm2; in 2022, its concentration decreased to 126.93·109 molecules/mm2. The war manifested itself due to the shutdown of industrial enterprises, which were (and remain) priority polluters in Ukraine (particularly in large cities).

Opis:

Together with fast economic growths in recent decades and subsequent environmental pollutions, fertility rates have declined dramatically in China. Considering fertility intention is an essential predictor for fertility rate, we examine the effect of air pollution on fertility intentions in China. Using data from the China General Social Survey (CGSS) collected in 2010 and 2013, we find a negative and significant impact of air pollution on people’s fertility intentions. More importantly, after we restrict the sample to people who have been living in current places for a long period of time, the estimated effect of air pollution decreases but remains significant, indicating existence of endogeneity of air pollution on fertility intentions. For the government to take measures to raise fertility rates in China, it is important to take into account the factor of air pollution.
Wraz z szybkim wzrostem gospodarczym w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach i późniejszym zanieczyszczeniem środowiska, wskaźniki dzietności w Chinach dramatycznie spadły. Biorąc pod uwagę, że intencja płodności jest podstawowym predyktorem współczynnika dzietności, badamy wpływ zanieczyszczenia powietrza na intencje dzietności w Chinach. Korzystając z danych z China General Social Survey (CGSS), zebranych w 2010 i 2013 r., wskazujemy na negatywny i znaczący wpływ zanieczyszczenia powietrza na intencje ludzi w zakresie płodności. Co ważniejsze, po ograniczeniu próby do osób, które mieszkają w obecnych miejscach od dłuższego czasu, szacowany wpływ zanieczyszczenia powietrza maleje, ale pozostaje znaczący, wskazując na istnienie endogeniczności zanieczyszczenia powietrza na intencje płodności. Stwierdzamy, że aby rząd mógł podjąć działania mające na celu podniesienie współczynnika dzietności w Chinach, konieczne jest uwzględnienie czynnika zanieczyszczenia powietrza.

Opis:

Tree-ring analysis was used to investigate the impact of air pollution on forest stands in southern part of the Upper Silesia region of southern Poland. Four about 120 years old Scots pine stands located near Wodzisław Śląski and Rybnik were selected for study and 20 increment core samples from each stand were taken. All study stands were selected based upon their considerable exposure to air and dust pollution. The results of dendrochronological analysis showed strong and significant reductions in tree ring growth especially during the period from 1960 to 1990. A significant number of trees with reductions (85%) was observed in two Scots pine stands both of which are directly exposed to air pollution from mine-owned coking plant and power and heating plants. Since 1990s the improved growth of these pines was clearly noted. A comparison for the period 1970 to 1990 for stands located west from the main emitters’ versus stands east and directly exposed found fewer trees with growth reductions (ca. 40%). At the beginning of the 21st century, a large number of trees in these western stands were observed with growth reductions between 50 and 60%. Probably, these trees were affected by air pollution from a nearby power plant located immediately across the border in the Czech Republic. Relationships between periods of severe reductions in ring width growth or missing rings were noted in a large percentage of pine trees in all four stands; these cross-stand relationships suggested common weather related impacts. Missing rings were noted in 1956, 1963, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1976 and 1979.

Limiting emissions of harmful substances is a key task for vehicle manufacturers. Excessive emissions have a negative impact not only on the environment, but also on human life. A significant problem is the emission of nitrogen oxides as well as solid particles, in particular those up to a diameter of 2.5 microns. Carbon dioxide emissions are also a problem. Therefore, work is underway on the use of alternative fuels to power the vehicle engines. The importance of alternative fuels applies to spark ignition engines. The authors of the article have done simulation tests of the Renault K4M 1.6 16v traction engine for emissions for fuels with a volumetric concentration of bioethanol from 10 to 85 percent. The analysis was carried out for mixtures as substitute fuels – without doing any structural changes in the engine's crankshafts. Emission of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, oxygen at full throttle for selected rotational speeds as well as selected engine performance parameters such as maximum power, torque, hourly and unit fuel consumption were determined. On the basis of the simulation tests performed, the reasonableness of using the tested alternative fuels was determined on the example of the drive unit without affecting its constructions, in terms of e.g. issue. Maximum power, torque, and fuel consumption have also been examined and compared. Thus, the impact of alternative fuels will be determined not only in terms of emissions, but also in terms of impact on the parameters of the power unit.

Opis:

At the time when Poland joined the European Union, the quality of the air in the country was far from the European standards. At the moment, the level of certain pollutants in the air is still high, which may result in legal proceedings of the European Union bodies against Poland, and consequent substantial financial charges. What is worse, it is estimated that as many as 45,000 Poles die every year due to air pollution. That is why NIK has decided to conduct an audit aimed at evaluating the activities of public entities undertaken with a view to improving the quality and protection of the air in the period between the year 2008 and the first half of the year 2014. The audit covered: the functioning of air monitoring, the development of air protection programmes by individual bodies of regional self-governments and the performance of tasks set out in these programs by competent self-government bodies, the financing of tasks related to air protection by regional funds for environmental protection and water management, as well as the coordination of activities and cooperation of organisational units with regard to the implementation of protection related measures. The audit was carried out in five regions (Małopolskie, Mazowieckie, Opolskie, Pomorskie and Śląskie), and it covered 25 auditees.

Opis:

Celem pracy jest próba oszacowania kosztów, jakie musi ponieść polski sektor elektroenergetyczny oraz omówienie możliwych wariantów dostosowania istniejących instalacji energetycznego spalania do wymogów konkluzji BAT na skutek wprowadzenia do prawa polskiego Dyrektywy Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady 2010/75/UE z dnia 24 listopada 2010 roku w sprawie emisji przemysłowych – zwanej Dyrektywą IED. Dyrektywa oprócz wprowadzenia nowych zaostrzo-nych standardów emisyjnych wymaga, aby w ramach dokumentów referencyjnych dotyczących najlepszych dostępnych technik – BREF, dla rodzajów działalności przemysłowych wymienionych w jej aneksie I zostały opracowane konkluzje BAT, określające wymagania związane z najlepszymi dostępnymi technikami BAT na terenie całej Wspólnoty Europejskiej, które mają być m.in. podstawą do wydawania pozwoleń zintegrowanych przez właściwe organy ochrony środowiska. W opublikowanych projektach konkluzji BAT zawarto istotne zaostrzenia wymogów emisyjnych dla instalacji opalanych paliwami stałymi względem obecnie obowiązujących przepi-sów i dyrektywy IED.
The goal of the study is to estimate the cost of adapting the Polish energy sector and its existing combustion plants to the requirements of BAT conclusions as required by the implementation of the Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (also known as the Industrial Emissions Directive or IED) and discuss possible methods for such adaptations. The Directive in addition to the introduction of new strin-gent emission standards require that within the Reference Documents on Best Available Techniques – BREF for the types of industrial activities listed in its Annex I conclusions BAT have been developed, defining requirements for best available techniques throughout the EU which will be the basis for integrated permitting by the competent environmental authorities. In the published draft BAT conclusions significant tightening of emission standards for power installations burning solid fuels in terms of the current provisions and IED are included.

Opis:

Although perceived as the most environmentally friendly means of transport, ships are a significant source of pollution to the environment. The vast majority of emissions in EU sea areas are emitted from cargo ships over 500 GT. About 45% of all emissions come from EU flagged ships and approximately 20% of emissions are emitted within the 12-mile limit of territorial seas. In port cities, ship emissions are in many cases a dominant source of pollution and need to be addressed when considering compliance with legally binding air quality objectives. Moreover, emissions from ships travel over hundreds of kilometres and can thus contribute to air quality problems on land even if they are emitted at sea. This is particularly relevant for the deposition of sulphur and nitrogen compounds, which cause acidification of natural ecosystems and threaten biodiversity through excessive nitrogen inputs. Emission of toxic compounds in marine engines exhausts is limited by international legal provisions, namely MARPOL convention, which in Annex VI sets limits to SOx and NOx emissions and designates special areas where the limits are stringent. To comply with the provisions, marine vessels need to be equipped with installations reducing emissions to permissible levels or turn to alternative fuels. The paper presents evaluation of impact of those having been in force for the last decade limitations as well as of applied new technological solutions on improvement of air quality. The analysis was conducted for the Baltic Sea, based on available data on ship traffic in the area and emission factors.

Opis:

World Health Organization data for 2016 suggest that 33 out of the 50 most polluted cities in the European Union are located in Poland. The poor air quality is caused by exceedances of the permitted levels of PM10 and PM2.5, as well as benzo(a)pyrene. Children and the elderly are the most vulnerable to smog-related diseases. The paper discusses the harmful impact of smog on the surface of the human eye and its adnexa. The negative effects include conjunctivitis, drying of the ocular adnexa and excessive tear evaporation, grittiness and tearing. The best way to protect one’s eyes is to avoid smog and use corrective glasses or sunglasses with certified UV screens. Wearing contact lenses is also recommended, while principles of hygiene should be rigorously observed. One should also drink plenty of water to increase tear production. Using purifiers is also recommended.
Z danych Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia z 2016 r. wynika, że aż 33 spośród 50 najbardziej zanieczyszczonych miast Unii Europejskiej znajduje się w Polsce. Zły stan powietrza atmosferycznego spowodowany jest przekroczeniem dopuszczalnych norm zawartości pyłów PM10, PM2,5 i benzo(a)pirenu. Najbardziej narażone na działanie smogu są dzieci i osoby starsze. W artykule zwrócono uwagę na szkodliwe działanie smogu na powierzchnię oka i jego aparat ochronny. Wśród nich wymienia się zapalenie spojówek, wysuszanie aparatu ochronnego oka i nadmierne parowanie łez, uczucie obecności piasku pod powiekami oraz łzawienie. W celu ochrony oczu należy przede wszystkim unikać smogu, stosować okulary korekcyjne lub przeciwsłoneczne z atestowanym filtrem UV. Zaleca się również stosowanie soczewek kontaktowych przy jednoczesnym rygorystycznym przestrzeganiu higieny. Dodatkowo powinno się pić dużo wody w celu zwiększenia produkcji łez. Wskazane jest także używanie oczyszczaczy powietrza.

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).

The article reveals the outcomes of the research studies related to air polluted with heavy metals in Swietokrzyski National Park. The thalli of Hypogymnia physodes L. were used as the bioindicator in order to conduct the research. The samples of monk’s-hood lichen were transplanted from the unpolluted area of north-eastern Poland to the area of Swietokrzyski National Park. The research studies were carried out in the warmer half of 2019. The received outcomes indicated the spatial variability of concentrations in the range of analysed metal deposition patterns in the lichen thalli. The average content of the analysed elements tended to be the highest in the case of iron (1,111 mg × kg–1 d.m.), zinc (87.7 mg × kg–1 d.m.) and strontium (27.7 mg × kg–1 d.m.). The research revealed that the important role in determining the content of heavy metals in the lichen thalli was played by the communication. The highest values were recorded at the sites located in the immediate neighbourhood of the voivodeship roads. It was verified that the content of metals was also influenced by the so-called low emission from the household and welfare sector as well as remote immission.

Performance management is one of the most significant strategies in promoting the efficiency of organizations and is highly sensitive. It is important to check the efficiency of combined cycle power plants because of their major contribution to power generation and air pollution. This study was conducted to evaluate the economic and environmental efficiency of Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPPs). The inputs and outputs required to evaluate the performance of the power plants were determined according to expert opinions. Then, the 7-year statistics and information of the Qom, Neishabour, Shahid Rajaee, Yazd and Kerman power plants were collected as the desired CCPPs in Iran. The Window Data Envelopment Analysis (WDEA) method was used for evaluating the efficiency of the power plants. The 3-year window length showed that most of the power plants were efficient. Only the Rajaee, Neishabour and Yazd power plants were ineffective in some years. The mean efficiency of the power plants in the 4-year window length showed that the plants were efficient from 2008 to 2010.

Opis:

Environmental monitoring involves environmental quality studies, observation and assessment of the environment's condition, and the changes taking place within it. The analysis accounts for sources of linear, surface, and point emission that have an adverse impact on the environment through pollutants. Point source emissions mainly represented by power plants spread harmful substances even for several dozen kilometers. Dispersion modeling is used to track atmospheric pollutants and to plan future emission sources, minimizing their impact on the environment. One of the newest modeling methods is the Lagrange model, currently used in Germany in AustalView software. The article presents the stages of the calculation of atmospheric dispersion of pollutants, according to German standards based on the example of the Schkopau power plant in Germany. This makes it possible to analyze the degree of air pollution depending on the distance from the source, and the information obtained may be useful for locating newly designed power plants through the location system, where the highest pollutant concentrations are recorded.

It has been proven that outdoor and indoor air pollutants can cause adverse health effects and are able to promote the onset of atopic diseases. The current manuscript is focused on methodological issues. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of air pollution, urban environment, and urban heat islands (UHIs) on the occurrence of respiratory diseases including allergic rhinitis, asthma and wheezing in preschool children. The study group consists of 276 five-year-old children attending randomly selected kindergartens in the urban and rural areas of the Łódź Voivodeship. The questionnaire including data on the child’s state of health and socio-economic data will be filled by the caregivers. The children will undergo skin prick testing and the measurement of volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath. The key components of air pollution – particulate matter (PM) will be measured by personal meters. The PM sampling planned in the study will take 12 h for PM2.5 and for PM10 alike. Data on the level of outdoor air pollution will be collected based on the results obtained from air monitoring stations. The impact of air pollution, UHIs and the environment on the respiratory system and the presence of allergies in children, including chronic respiratory diseases, will be assessed. The project results will provide a scientific basis for the development of preventive programs in the population of children in the Łódź Voivodeship, adapted to the real health needs of society.

Opis:

Air pollution is a global problem. In Europe, ambient air quality remains poor in many areas, particularly in urban ones. Air pollutants have a significantly adverse effect on human health and ecosystems. They are the main cause of many serious illnesses and thus contribute to increased mortality. This paper analyzes the air pollutant emissions in the last four years (2018–2021) in the Upper Silesian Region, which has one of the worst air qualities in Poland and in Europe in general, and the emissions in the Lublin Region in eastern Poland, which is considered as a clean region. In each of the above-mentioned regions, the areas with the highest air pollutant emissions were specified i.e. the Upper Silesian Agglomeration and the Lublin Agglomeration. The emission data for the following pollutants: particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) have been compared. The obtained results were also compared with the estimated average emissions in Poland. It was indicated that in both agglomerations the exposure to air pollutants was on similar levels, which were several times higher than in the remaining parts of the considered regions and the average values for Poland in general. In the Silesian Agglomeration, the exposure to PM10 was over 5 times higher than the average national exposure. The exposure to PM2.5 was almost 6 times higher, the exposure to BaP was about 5 times higher, while the exposure to SOx and NOx was 16 and 10 times higher than the national average, respectively. This is reflected in the increased number of premature deaths and the number of years of life lost due to the exposure to air pollution. Therefore, the actions aimed at limiting air pollutant emissions are urgent in the above-indicated areas.

Air pollution is the result of natural processes and intense urban development. The undesired emission of volatile substances causes environmental threats such as acid rains, aggravated greenhouse effect or the ozone depletion. Moreover, the pollution released into the air is harmful to the human respiratory system, eyes and skin. This paper presents the body of analyses conducted in Poznań between 2015–2017 on the changes in the local emission concentration of PM10 and PM2.5. The data concerning the emission of suspended particulates were provided by the meteorological station on Polanka St. in Poznań. The research included a correlation analysis. The results point to a steady decrease in the amount of produced particulates. It was also noted that the emissions of PM10 and PM2.5 change seasonally, with the highest levels in the autumn and winter. Furthermore, the amount of emitted suspended particulates is correlated with the temperature; hence, it is supposed that the main source of air pollution in Poznań involves low-efficiency heaters and boilers.

The aim of this paper is to present the results of mathematically modelling the influence of ambient temperature on hydrocarbons (HCs, comprised of methane and non-methane volatile organic compounds) in cold-start emissions from passenger cars (PCs) for different fuel types, vehicle segments including hybrid vehicles, and the Euro standard. In this article the simulations are performed using COPERT software, assuming ambient temperatures from 20◦C to +30◦C, with 5◦C intervals. The modelling results presented show that a change in ambient temperature has a significant effect on hydrocarbons in cold-start emissions. Furthermore, our results show that hydrocarbons emissions are sensitive to ambient temperature fluctuations, and dependent on fuel type, vehicle segment, and the Euro standard.

Opis:

Atmospheric pollution suspended in humid air is popularly known as ‘smog’. It is composed of dust particles of different sizes, as well as non-metal oxides, organic compounds, and heavy metals. Exposure to harmful substances suspended in the air – apart from, for example – smoking cigarettes, one of the modifiable factors leading to the development of respiratory diseases. There are six types of substances present in the air that have a negative impact on public health and result in significant consequences: ozone, particulate matter (PM) of different diameters – PM2.5µ, PM2.5–10 µ, PM10 µ, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and lead. Particular attention is given to small dust particles (PM10 and PM2.5) because they can penetrate into the lower respiratory tract. Apart from describing the composition of smog and sources of air pollution, the article also discusses the impact of atmospheric pollutants on both development and aggravation of the symptoms of such respiratory tract diseases as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, respiratory infections and lung cancer. Some of legal measures applied in different countries aimed at reducing exposure to noxious air pollutants are reviewed. The authors believe that the increased focus on risks arising from inhaling toxic air pollution may be a first step for developing systemic solutions aimed at resolving or, at least, decreasing those risks.

Opis:

The article presents examples of synoptic situations when the permissible concentration of PM10 was severely exceeded in 2010–2017 in Poznań. In many Polish cities, there are deviations from the norms for a number of days during the year. The scale of concentration of PM10 in the air is largely affected by the prevailing meteorological conditions such as low temperature and low wind speed. First, periods of the highest daily concentrations of pollutants were selected. Subsequently, synoptic maps for selected days were analysed. The most common cause of the pollution was a large boom which brought Arctic air to Poland. In this case, the highest concentration was accompanied by very low air temperatures and the resulting more intensive heating of buildings.

Introduction and objective: This paper is concerned with the harmful impact of nitric oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) on humans. The objective was to determine which source of emission is the most urgent in terms of its reduction.Abbreviated description of the state of knowledge: In published epidemiological studies multiple notifications indicating the harmful impact of particulate matter on human health can be found. The harmful impact is underscored by the increase in the number of hospitalisations owing to diseases of respiratory and cardio-vascular systems, as well as by the rise in general fatality rate. The analysis of the PM impact on the human body is prompted by the fact that its detrimental effects are not clearly defined. Additionally, nitric oxides contribute to the increased number of exacerbations of respiratory disease and are a factor increasing susceptibility to development of local inflammation. Conclusions: The following study is meant to show that the air pollution which derives from vehicles (NOx and PM) has a significant impact on human health. This applies particularly to residents of cities and big towns. This issue has gained special importance in Poland. According to the data from the Central Statistical Office, the increasing number of vehicles in use and their age lead to increased emission of the pollutants considered.

Opis:

Tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a trace gas with important impact on atmospheric chemistry, human health and a key pollutant in particular cities, measured from space since the mid-1990s by the GOME, SCIAMACHY, OMI, and GOME-2 instruments. This study present ten years (monthly and yearly averaged) dataset from Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) used to investigate tropospheric NO2 characteristics and variations over Iraq during 2005–2014. Annual NO2 shows an elevation from the northern to the southern and highest values was at central parts of Iraq. Monthly distributions revels higher values NO2 in winter and summer than spring and autumn seasons, and rising NO2 throughout study period over industrial and crowded urban zones. The trend analysis over Baghdad shows a linear growth rate 9.8% per year with an annual average (5.6·1015 molecules per 1 cm2). The air mass trajectory analysis as hotspot regions shows seasonal fluctuations between winter and summer seasons depend on weather conditions and topography. The increased NO2 values in winter are due to anthropogenic emissions and subsequent plumes from Europe. In addition, in summer because of hot weather and large paddy fields emissions. The lowest NO2 value was at monsoon period mostly linked to the rains. The OMI data and satellite information are able to observe the troposphere NO2 elevation at different regions.

Opis:

Recently, a lot of attention was paid to the improvement of methods which are used to air quality forecasting. Artificial neural networks can be applied to model these problems. Their advantage is that they can solve the problem in the conditions of incomplete information, without the knowledge of the analytical relationship between the input and output data. In this paper we applied artificial neural networks to predict the PM 10 concentrations as factors determining the occurrence of smog phenomena. To create these networks we used meteorological data and concentrations of PM 10. The data were recorded in 2014 and 2015 at three measuring stations operating in Krakow under the State Environmental Monitoring. The best results were obtained by three-layer perceptron with back-propagation algorithm. The neural networks received a good fit in all cases.

Opis:

Nowadays more and more attention is paid to minimizing the costs of air operations. The largest share in the cost of the flight is the cost of consumed fuel. Taking into account the external conditions, having impact on the aircraft, such as wind direction and magnitude when planning the aircraft trajectory it is possible to reduce flight time and thus reduce fuel consumption. An additional advantage is the simultaneous reduction of pollutants in the jet engines exhausts. In the times of pro-ecological trends and concepts (e.g. Clean Sky, Single European Sky, CORSIA) this aspect is of crucial importance. The emission of selected pollutants in the jet engine exhausts (NOx, CO and HC) emitted during the flight of a business jet on the route whose cruise phase was assumed 1000 km long was determined in the article. The aircraft used in the research was Gulfstream GIV, powered by two Rolls Royce TAY 611-C engines, for which a cruising altitude of 10 km and a flight speed of 0.8 Ma were assumed. The thrust necessary for the flight at these cruise parameters was set, and then the engine thrust appropriate for the flight and the corresponding specific fuel consumption were determined. On this basis, based on the available ICAO data, the emission of selected pollutants in tis engines exhausts was determined for windless conditions. Next, the analysis of the impact of wind - its magnitude and direction – on the emission of these pollutants was made. The results of the conducted analyses are presented in diagrams and discussed in the conclusions.

Opis:

Air pollution is one of the greatest public health threats worldwide. All substances appearing in excessive quantities in the atmosphere, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides or sulphur oxides may be its ingredients. Depending on their size and nature, these compounds may cause greater risk of suffering from respiratory or cardiovascular diseases for exposed people as well as exacerbation and increased mortality due to these illnesses. Smaller particles may penetrate the brain’s blood barrier and thus affect the central nervous system. In many studies, they have been shown to have negative effects on brain structure, like diminishing white matter or neuronal degeneration, leading to the earlier onset of Alzheimer or Parkinson disease. Nevertheless, there are reports of association of air pollution with mood disorders, depression, and even suicide. There are many risk factors for these conditions, most important of which are the social situation or chronic diseases. However, it has also been confirmed that the environment may affect mental health. This article will present experimental, clinical and epidemiological studies on exposure to air pollution and its impact on depressive disorders and suicide. Our goal is to determine the relationship between air pollution and incidence of depression and suicides. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2018;31(6):711–721

Introduction. This article will deal with environmental pollution in cities including the problem of risk assessment. The aim of the study is to determine carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks for the health of the population due to chemical contamination of air, water and food in the cities of the Krasnoyarsk region. Material and methods. The research was conducted in the Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Krasnoyarsk region. 5122 samples of air, 4863 samples of water and 6915 samples of food stuff have been analyzed. Concentration of chemical substances was the base on which individual carcinogenesis risk (ICR) and population carcinogenic conventional risks (PCCR) and non carcinogenic risks [1] have been calculated. In the industrial cities chemical pollution of air, water and food stuff including carcinogenic substances creates carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of morbidity of the population with the reinforcement of the complex impact, “with” which greatly exceeds the maximum acceptable risks. Results. Chemical pollution of environmental facilities in cities of the Krasnoyarsk region produce complex carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks which exceed maximum limit. The greatest shares in structure of complex carcinogenic risks are made in food stuff and water consumption in structure of complex non-carcinogenic risks as a result of air pollution and food stuff pollution. Conclusions. Obtained data could be used to set priorities in preventive measures to preserve health of the population in industrial cities of the Krasnoyarsk region.
Wstęp. Artykuł zajmuje się problemem zanieczyszczenia środowiska w miastach oraz problemem oceny ryzyka zdrowotnego. Celem pracy jest określenie ryzyka kancerogennego i niekancerogennego dla zdrowia populacji z powodu zanieczyszczenia powietrza, wody i żywności w miastach regionu Krasnojarskiego. Materiał i metody. Badania przeprowadzono w Centrum Higieny i Epidemiologii regionu Krasnojarskiego. Wykonano 5122 analizy powietrza, 4863 analizy wody i 6915 analiz żywności. Na podstawie stężenia substancji chemicznych obliczono indywidualne ryzyko kancerogenezy (ICR) oraz populacyjne umowne ryzyko kancerogenezy (PCCR) i ryzyko niekancerogenności. W miastach przemysłowych zanieczyszczenie chemiczne wody, powietrza i żywności, stwarza kancerogenne i niekancerogenne ryzyko zachorowalności populacyjnej, co jest potęgowane przez kompleksowy udział dodatkowych czynników i znacznie przekracza maksymalnie dopuszczalne ryzyko. Wyniki. Zanieczyszczenie chemiczne z obiektów środowiskowych w miastach krasnojarskich charakteryzuje kompleks kancerogennego i niekancerogennego ryzyka, które przekracza dopuszczalne maksimum. Największy udział w strukturze kompleksu ryzyka kancerogennego wykazuje konsumpcja żywności, natomiast udział wody pitnej wykazano w strukturze kompleksu ryzyka niekancerogennego, jako wynik skażenia powietrza i wody. Wnioski. Uzyskane dane powinny być wykorzystane celem określenia pierwszeństwa w kierunkach opracowywania działań zapobiegawczych dla zachowania zdrowia populacyjnego w przemysłowych miastach regionu Krasnojarska.

Opis:

W artykule omówiono zagadnienie oceny stopnia istotności kryteriów lokalizacji stacji pomiarowych rozszerzających system OnDynamic o nową funkcjonalność. Zasadniczym celem nowej funkcjonalności jest ciągły monitoring zanieczyszczenia powietrza w bezpośrednim otoczeniu dróg będącego skutkiem ruchu drogowego. Wymaga to rozmieszczenia w odpowiednich lokalizacjach stacji pomiarowych (stacji bazowych). Przyjęto, ze kryteriami decydującymi o lokalizacji stacji są: obciążenie ruchem, lokalna zabudowa i warunki meteorologiczne. W pracy, na podstawie badań symulacyjnych, zaproponowano wagi istotności poszczególnych kryteriów. Wagi te zostaną w następnym kroku użyte w analizie wielokryterialnej decydującej o lokalizacji stacji bazowych.
The article discusses the issue of assessment of significance criteria for the location of stations equipped with an air pollutant sensors. The set of stations will enable an upgrade of the system OnDynamic by new functionality. The main objective of the new functionality is continuous monitoring of air pollution caused by traffic in the surrounding of the road. This requires the deployment of appropriate locations of measuring stations (base stations). The authors have assumed that the criteria used in this task are: traffic intensity, local building and weather conditions. In the paper, based on results of numerical simulation tests, weights of significance of individual criteria have been proposed. These weights will be used in the next step in the multi-criteria analysis which determines the location of base stations.

The new passenger car, BMW 225 XE was tested. The results of measurements of concentration of VOCs carried out inside the car cabin depending on the temperature were presented. The investigation was carried out in a special climatic chamber isolated from external factors such as outside air pollutants and weather conditions. The following temperature values have been set: 17ºC, 20ºC, 35ºC and 50ºC. The samples were located inside and outside of the vehicle’s cabin. As expected, the concentrations of each compound increased with increasing temperature (volatility of VOCs increases with the temperature). Values of concentrations obtained in the measurements have been compared with the values of highest acceptable concentration specified in polish law. The article describes the investigation, which was provided in a special climatic chamber. The chamber was isolated from external weather conditions and pollutants. Before each sampling interior of car cabin was ventilated to remove all pollutants from inside. Concentrations of BTX measured in different temperatures were converted to temperature of 20ºC.

Opis:

Around 20 percent of CO2 emitted as a result of human activity on Earth comes from transportation. One of the ideas, which lead to diminishing of the greenhouse gases emission, is reducing of fuel consumption. It may be achieved by introducing a new powertrain solutions as well as lowering overall vehicle weight. The reduction of vehicle weight may be obtained by both a new design of part and structures and application of a new materials i.e. aluminium alloys. It has to be emphasised that weight reduction is very important for combustion engine driven vehicles and electric driven vehicles as well. Mass lowering is especially desirable in the case of electric vehicles because they typically have a very narrow operational range usually lower than 200 km. Therefore even small weight reduction decreases energy consumption of EV and as a consequence increases its range, which is a crucial parameter for users. The results presented in this article were focused on high strength aluminium alloys of 6082-T6 and 7075-T6 types. Applying of those materials enables mass lowering of structures up to 50 percent, maintaining original functionality. Moreover, aluminium alloys may be also used in energy absorbing structures. The goal of tests was to obtain data required in FE analysis. In order to simulate dynamic phenomenon i.e. vehicle crash investigation of the stress-strain curves of alloys were carried out at wide range of strain rates using Hopkinson bar.

Badania powietrza atmosferycznego przeprowadzono na terenie i w otoczeniu oczyszczalni hydrofitowej w Łęgutach, z filtrami gruntowo-roślinnymi o pionowym i poziomym podpowierzchniowym przepływie ścieków bytowo-gospodarczych, o przepustowości 60 m³ d-¹. Badano liczebność bakterii heterotroficznych psychrofilnych, psychrotrofowych i mezofilnych oraz wybranych grup fizjologicznych drobnoustrojów: z rodziny Enterobacteriaceae, rodzaju Staphylococcus i Enterococcus, gatunku Pseudomonas fluorescens, bakterii hemolizujących oraz promieniowców. Powietrze do badań pobierano w sezonach letnim, jesiennym, zimowym i wiosennym, równolegle metodą sedymentacyjną i zderzeniową na 7 stanowiskach usytuowanych na terenie oczyszczalni (przy: dopływie ścieków, osadniku Imhoffa, I i II filtrze gruntowo-roślinnym - FGR - z przepływem pionowym, osadniku pionowym, FGR z przepływem poziomym, poletku trzcinowym) oraz na 4 stanowiskach usytuowanych w jej otoczeniu. Tło wyznaczano w zależności od kierunku wiatru po stronie nawietrznej w stosunku do położenia oczyszczalni. Ponadto prowadzono pomiary temperatury i wilgotności powietrza oraz prędkości wiatru na poszczególnych stanowiskach badawczych. Stwierdzono statystycznie istotne różnice liczebności poszczególnych grup badanych drobnoustrojów w powietrzu pobieranym różnymi metodami oraz w różnych porach roku. Największą średnią ich liczebność stwierdzano zazwyczaj w próbkach powietrza pobieranego metodą sedymentacyjną, a jeśli rozpatruje się zmienność w ciągu roku - latem, najmniejszą zaś zimą. Nie stwierdzono istotnych statystycznie różnic w liczebności badanych grup drobnoustrojów w powietrzu pobieranym na poszczególnych stanowiskach badawczych. Jednakże większą ich liczebność stwierdzano w powietrzu pobieranym na stanowiskach usytuowanych na terenie oczyszczalni ścieków, szczególnie przy dopływie ścieków, osadniku Imhoffa oraz przy pionowych filtrach gruntowo-roślinnych. Uwzględniając kryteria oceny stopnia zanieczyszczenia powietrza atmosferycznego podane w Polskich Normach, poza nielicznymi wyjątkami, powietrze pobierane zarówno na terenie, jak i w otoczeniu oczyszczalni można zaklasyfikować jako mało zanieczyszczone. Nie stwierdzono podwyższonej emisji badanych grup drobnoustrojów, w tym również pochodzenia kałowego, poza obszar terenu oczyszczalni.
The study of atmospheric air was carried out within and in the surrounding of a constructed wetland in Łęguty, treating 60 m³ d-¹ of domestic wastewater, which operates in vertical and horizontal reed bed system with subsurface flow. Counts of heterotrophic psychrophilic, psychrotrophic and mesophilic bacteria as well as some physiological groups of microorganisms which belong to Enterobacteriaceae family, Staphylococcus and Enterococcus genera, Pseudomonas fluorescens species, hemolysing bacteria and actinomycetes were analysed. Air samples were collected in summer, autumn, winter and spring seasons simultaneously by the sedimentation and impact methods at 7 sites located in the area of the wastewater treatment plant (sewage inflow, Imhoff tank, I and II vertical flow reed bed, vertical sedimentation tank, horizontal flow reed bed and sludge drying reed bed) and at 4 sites situated in its surroundings. The background was selected depending on wind direction, always on the windward side of the wastewater treatment plant. In addition, temperature, air humidity, wind speed and direction were observed at each sampling site. Statistical analyses of the results showed significant differences in counts of the analysed groups of microorganisms in the air sampled with different methods and in different seasons. The highest mean numbers of microorganisms were typically found in air samples collected by the sedimentation method, especially in summer (with the exception of actinomycetes, which were most numerous in spring), whereas the lowest counts were found in winter. No statistically significant differences were found between counts of the analysed groups of microorganisms in the air sampled at different sites. However, higher counts were usually found in the air sampled at the sites on the premises of the wastewater treatment plant, especially near sewage inflow, Imhoff tank and vertical flow reed bed. According to the Polish Standards for atmospheric air pollution assessment, the air sampled at the plant and in its surroundings, with very few exceptions, was classified as only slightly polluted. In conclusion, no increased emission of the analysed groups of microorganisms, including faecal bacteria, was observed outside the wastewater treatment plant.

Opis:

The traditional use of fossil-based fuels is now widely considered unsustainable because of depleting their natural resources. Potential substitutes of fossil fuels are oils of renewable origin such as various vegetable and non-edible oils. The aim of using these oils or their methyl esters (biodiesel) is to establish and maintain a balance between agriculture, economy and environment protection. However, realizing the increasing demand of raw materials currently used can be achieved not only by increasing the production area but also by introducing new materials or technologies. The article presents and evaluates modern raw fuel components that are currently being investigated. Furthermore, the article deals with the dual fuel combustion technology in detail, with which the processed fuels are becoming available for use in Compression Ignition (CI) engines, where conventional blending is difficult or their use exclusively in diesel engines is economically unjustified. In case of dual fuel engine systems, the primary fuel, such as (wet)ethanol, methanol, LPG, H2 etc. is injected into the intake manifold of the engine and the premixed mixture simultaneously produced is ignited by the pilot diesel fuel as secondary fuel injected directly into the engine cylinder. This technology can significantly reduce exhaust emissions and can slightly increase engine efficiency. The achievements in this field and recently obtained results by the author and his research group are also presented. Exhaust emissions, performance and combustion characteristics were measured and analyzed with respect to several operating parameters as follows: premixed ratio (rp), pilot timing and engine load.

Opis:

The test procedure for the pollutant emissions from light-duty vehicles is currently under verification carried out at the international level. For this purpose, GRPE (Groupe des rapporteurs sur la pollution et energie) – the body developing UNECE regulations proposals - has set up a task group WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure) which is supposed to prepare a new GTR (Global Technical Regulation) relating to this procedure. The development of light-duty vehicles, leading to the reduction of pollutants emissions, caused the increase of the requirements for their test procedure. A large number of factors associated, inter alia, with the test equipment affects its accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility. In the ongoing analysis attention is paid even to factors, which affect test results in a relatively small way, and which have been overlooked yet. One of the problems to which attention is paid is the impact of pollutant concentration in the dilution air in the CVS (constant volume sampler) system on test results. The CVS principle is accepted as the standard method to determine light-duty vehicle exhaust emissions on chassis dynamometer test cells worldwide. It was introduced in the early 1970s. One of its drawbacks is that it introduces an error resulting from the fact that the contractual DF dilution factor, rather than the actual dilution ratio DR, is used for the correction of concentration measurement results. The article discusses this error for different type of engines used in light-duty vehicles and different pollutants subject to measurements.

Opis:

The article contains the results of the simulation tests of oxidizing catalytic reactor obtained by use of the AVL Boost simulation application. The chemical reactions and the reactions rates on which computations were based are specified in this paper. The simulations were related to the influence of the catalytic reactor volume and reactor’s cells quantity influence on the carbon oxide, hydrocarbons and nitric oxides conversion levels. The influence on the nitric oxides conversion was presented in this paper as the content of NO and NO2 in NOX. The simulated computations were performed separately for the variable reactor volume ranging from 1 to 2.2 dm3 with a step of 0.4 dm3 and for the variable reactor cells quantity ranging from 200 to 600 cells per square inch with a step of 100 cpsi. As the input data for the simulation computations the actual values of the toxic compounds concentrations in the exhaust gases at the outlet of the Diesel engine were used. The measurements of the toxic compounnds were made at the chosen engine steady state work points and are presented in this paper as a graph of the toxic gases concentrations in the form of the function of the engine torque. The simulation computaitons were performed for the same points and their results are also presented in the form of the function of the engine torque. The Results presented in this paper have shown that the increase in the CO, HC and NOX conversion in the case of the oxide catalyst can be obtained both by increasing the reactor volume and its cells quantity. It also have been observed that the increase in the reactor cells quantity and volume is not proportional as regards the toxic gases conversion increase and lowers in the case of higher values of the simulated reactor parameters.

Opis:

Processes of the combustion of liquid fuels and solid are more complex than combustion of fuel gases. With reference to liquid fuels occur additionally processes of vaporization of the fuel, and with reference to solid fuels - decomposition of the solid phase with processes of melting and vaporization, pyrolysis, or gasification. This simultaneous and also different influence of different parameters is sometimes a reason of incorrect interpretation of experimental results. The study of the theoretical model of the combustion process concerning of liquid and solid fuels and which then the model takes into account also the gas- phase, because combustion processes take place in this phase, and occurs the interaction of the phase gas- and liquid or the solid one. The theoretical model is presented basing on experimental initial researches realized in a model with reference to liquid fuels and solid ones. Researches realized in the constant volume chamber with measurements of the pressure during the process of the combustion with the use of quick photography and with measurement of the distribution of the velocity in the spray of the fuel and droplet measurements by means the laser Doppler equipment LDV and PDPA. There were obtained a good agreement of findings experimental researches with the theoretical model. Generally, on the combustion velocity of liquid fuels and solid one significant influence has a kind (laminar, temporary and turbulent) and the thickness of the thermal boundary layer.

For many years research has been conducted on using water added to the process of combustion in a compression-ignition engine (by injection to the suction manifold, disintegrated in the manifold by ultrasounds, injection to the cylinder or in the form of emulsion) in order to improve the engine's operating indices and reduce its smoking and toxicity. The study presents the effects of adding water to fuel on selected toxicity indices of exhaust gases, and puts forward the problem of technical usability of a water solution of hydrogen peroxide for the discussed purposes. The effect of water proportion in fuel on the change of the engine smoking, concentration of NOx in exhaust gases in the function of water proportion of water injected, concentration of NOx in the function of rotational speed for standard fuel and emulsion fuel, the effect of water proportion in the emulsion fuel on the relative value of the engine torque, concentration of CO in exhaust gases in the function of the engine load for different water proportions concentration of NOx in exhaust gases in the function of the engine load for different water proportions, specific fuel consumption in the function of the engine load for different water proportions are illustrated in the paper.

Socio-economic development entails the increase the number of vehicles and the need of deciding about reduction of negative effects of the air pollution growth. Tendency to reduce the emission of noxious products of diesel oil combustion in engines, treatment of the CNG as a fuel seems to be promising. It seems, that in the future, ecological aspects will matter more and more in Poland and UE, so considering ecological advantages of CNG as a fuel, probably this technology will be more widespread. Obviously, the development of this technology requires the competitive price of CNG with respect to the traditional fuels. In the article technical and economic aspects of vehicle adjustment to CNG supply is presented. Aspects of the adaptation of diesel oil and petrol engines to CNG were also brought up. Another significant factor which influence on the operating costs of using CNG were gas storage. In the paper actual methods of storage of natural gas supply are presented. Scheme of CNG feed system, decrease of emission of pollution at replacement gasoline and diesel by CNG, prices of diesel and CNG in years between 2004 and 2009, investment outlays for buying buses in public transport company in Rzeszów and numbers of natural gas vehicles in 2006 and in 2009 are presented in the paper.

Opis:

Vehicle exhaust emissions depend on multiple factors, such as the emission norm, driving parameters (speed, acceleration) or the technical condition of the vehicle. These driving parameters may often depend on the condition of the road infrastructure and other factors influencing road conditions. The article attempted to assess the emissivity during acceleration of a vehicle powered by a compression ignition engine. Mapping the actual values is possible with the use of exhaust emission measurement equipment that operates under the actual operating conditions of a vehicle. Recently, an increase in the use of simulation methods in research of this type has been observed. The authors decided to check the suitability of using road traffic simulation software to estimate the $CO_2$ emissions during vehicle acceleration. The obtained results are promising, because in terms of the emissions of the analyzed exhaust gas component, the simulation results differed from the results obtained during measurements with the use of Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS) equipment by less than ±20%.

Opis:

In the article - starting from the personal experience of a person living every day in Warsaw, a city struggling with the problem of smog in the autumn and winter - I consider the issue of air pollution in terms of Nixon’s ‘slow violence’ as a violence dispersed in time and space, and potentially ‘out of sight’ (Nixon, 2013). Then, following Thom Davies (2018), treating slow violence as a form of Mbembe’s necropolitics (Mbembe, 2003), I reflect on possible, from the educational point of view, actions that could make slow violence visible and at the same time help citizens to emancipate themselves from the shackles of politics subordinating life to the power of death, reducing it to existence of the ‘living dead’. Referring to the critical reflections of Henry A. Giroux (1988a, 1988b) and the literary reflections of Olga Tokarczuk (2019), I put forward the thesis that critical education, which would be able to create a parabolic story, universalize human experience and thus transcend the boundaries of the ego, has the potential to live up the representational and narrative challenge posed by the relative invisibility of slow violence.

Managing the natural environment in the city is an important element of city management. Smart city authorities should take into account the opinion of residents about the comfort of living in the urban environment management strategy. A very important element of the natural environment in the city is air quality, which significantly affects the comfort of living in the city. The article presents surveys of opinions of the residents of a selected city in Silesia in Poland. The respondents' knowledge on the sources of air pollution in the city, the perceived health effects resulting from polluted atmospheric air and the expectations of residents towards the city authorities were examined using the anonymous questionnaire method. Residents' behavior in the situation of increased air pollution was also examined. On the basis of surveys, prophylactic pro-ecological activities were identified with the highest degree of acceptance of the local community as potential directions of urban environment management. The implementation of such activities, taking into account the opinions and preferences of the residents, is part of the co-management of the intelligent city.

The objective of this study is to control the air quality parameters for a selected range of different particulate matters. A comprehensive experimental approach is established to regulate the quality of air about a selected range of different air pollutants being investigated in the indoor atmosphere of the church building. Relative humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, particulate matter and radon were considered as the factors of air quality extents. For establishing the association among the selected parameters, the data were mathematically analyzed. The correlation coefficient confirmed a strong relationship between the indoor CO2 level and the number of public. A negative relationship between the indoor CO2 extent and indoor temperature confirmed that due to the increase in temperature the concentration of CO2 decreased as well. A solid adverse connection among indoor relative humidity and indoor air temperature showed that due to the increase in air temperature, the level of the relative humidity decreased. Some recommendations were proposed for the treatment of air quality in church buildings for human well-being.

Opis:

A new approach is needed to test particle filters for retrofitting Diesel engines. Considering the toxicity of the particles as also the physical and chemical attributes of particle filters, the optimal scheme is to test the components themselves independent of the deployment. That scheme ensures the highest effectiveness with least effort. It also enables evaluation of worst-case situations and assesses the hazards of secondary emissions. The Swiss standard SNR 277 205, which mandates the VERT test procedure, is a first step in that direction. Occupational health specialists have studied the toxicity of ultraflne particles for more than 100 years. Extremely toxic are the particles intruding into the lung. Larger particles, which are always naturally present, are intercepted in the upper respiratory paths. The body then expels these larger particles rapidly via the mucus and cilia. The new manmade particles less-than l mi m, however massively intrude into the fine pulmonary alveoli, which do not have the cleansing mechanism. The targeted efficiencies for evaluating modern filters are evident from the progress achieved. Many filters have filtration rates exceeding 99.9%, albeit the directives [4] only require 97%.

Opis:

Aiming to create more sustainable cities it is necessary to understand and manage different ecological factors which influence human health. One of such factors is black carbon (BC) in atmosphere, which currently is not commonly monitored by environmental monitoring systems. The aim of this research was to estimate by indirect approach the relation between eBC (equivalent of black carbon) concentration and other air pollutants in order to define approximate level of eBC in more efficient approach. The study was conducted in Wrocław (Poland) in October 2021, and combined data on eBC concentration (measured by microaethalometer), air quality (from national environmental monitoring system) and traffic (from municipal traffic management system). Quantile regression was used to assess the relationship between the concentrations of pollutants. The obtained results show that for rise 1 mg∙m-3 of carbon monoxide, eBC concentration rise between 4.2 and 8.0 μg∙m-3, depending on the period of a day. Precision of eBC concentration evaluation is influenced by sun light which results in higher precision of defining a scaling factor for night hours. Outcomes of this study constitute an added value to understanding of interconnections between different factors describing environmental conditions in cities and might be helpful for more effective environmental assessment of human habitats.

Opis:

Atmospheric pollution in Ukraine has become a significant environmental problem, especially in the eastern part where heavy industries are located, and it is particularly severe in industrial centers such as; Zaporizhia, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovs’k and Dniprodzerzhyns’k. The main emission sources are ferrous metallurgical plants and the coal industry. The purpose of this project is to estimate the degree of pollution from dioxides of nitrogen and sulfur in the south-eastern part of Ukraine using satellite data. An assessment of atmospheric pollution by NO₂ is carried out using the data from satellite spectrometer EOS/OMI, and information products Level 3 from Goddard Earth Sciences Data, (GES DISC) NASA for 2009-2014. According to the results study, the largest area of propagation of SO₂ aerosol was observed in the industrial agglomerations of Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovs’k and Vilnohirs’k.However, a somewhat smaller content of NO₂ in the air recorded near the town of Kryvyi Rih and the cities of Vilnohirs’k and Zaporizhia.The results obtained from this research will aid the creation of awareness among Ukraine’s policy makers about the need for air pollution abatement, and also serve as a stepping stone towards addressing the negative impacts of acid rains.

Opis:

The prediction of PM2.5 is important for environmental forecasting and air pollution control. In this study, four machine learning methods, ground-based LiDAR data and meteorological data were used to predict the ground-level PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing. Among the four methods, the random forest (RF) method was the most effective in predicting ground-level PM2.5 concentrations. Compared with BP neural network, support vector machine (SVM), and various linear fitting methods, the accuracy of the RF method was superior by 10%. The method can describe the spatial and temporal variation in PM2.5 concentrations under different meteorological conditions, with low root mean square error (RMSE) and mean square deviation (MD), and the consistency index (IA) reached 99.69%. Under different weather conditions, the hourly variation in PM2.5 concentrations has a good descriptive ability. In this paper, we analyzed the weights of input variables in the RF method, constructed a pollution case to correspond to the relationship between input variables and PM2.5, and analyzed the sources of pollutants via HYSPLIT backward trajectory. This method can study the interaction between PM2.5 and air pollution variables, and provide new ideas for preventing and forecasting air pollution.

Opis:

Operation of vehicles equipped with combustion engines is a source of pollution. That is why the emissions from this source are restricted. The emissions reduction system consists of several steps, whose basic component is a typeapproval of vehicle in terms of emissions level and admission to the registration of vehicles that meets the requirements for emissions. It is assumed, that the gradual reduction of emissions limits will improve the emission properties of the vehicles, and gradual withdrawal of used vehicles, will reduce of emissions growth. The basis for issuing opinions on a vehicle's exhaust emissions is the measurement of emissions performed in the laboratory on a chassis dynamometer in reproducible conditions of preparing the vehicle for testing, test replication, fuel for the engine, and the procedure for collecting the exhaust gas analysis. Motor Transport Institute conducts the type approval tests, as well as the research on emissions from vehicles in the real traffic conditions, which are used to determine the actual emission from the vehicle population. Emission tests for applications, that go beyond the application of type approval show, that there are vehicles whose emissions in operation is substantially different from the emissions measured during type approval. It is a natural phenomenon in the case of used vehicles and vehicles with engine malfunctions or exhaust aftertreatment system defect. However, there are vehicles whose emissions under specific operating traffic conditions are significantly different from the values obtained in the course of type approval tests, despite the good properties of emission measured under the conditions provided by the type-approval procedure. The article discusses the results of the emissions from vehicles, obtained in the tests used to determine the emission factors for vehicles used in real traffic conditions, thus taking into account emissions from vehicles, made under different conditions than the type approval tests, which show that, in terms of driving cycles, which are not covered by the emission test procedure, can multiply and exceed the approved values.. This is particularly true for modern diesel engines.

Opis:

The article describes the processes that take place in an engine. The main terms connected with the compression ratio are explained. Moreover, the relationship between the compression ratio and the engine efficiency is discussed. This paper is a repetition of issues connected with functioning of the engine. In this article, variables that influence the chart are described, along with some examples of the way to increase engine efficiency. This article focuses on selected methods of improving efficiency of internal combustion engines. In order to fully understand processes taking place in the combustion chamber, it is necessary to create theoretical charts of thermal cycles and, then, to compare them with actual charts obtained as a result of measurements. The structure of contemporary engines is influenced by various factors, for example preservation of natural environment or limited fuel resources. These factors are crucial for mechanical engineering and engine design. Therefore, energy consumption and environmental impact of engines are taken into consideration when researching new ways and methods of enhancing engine efficiency. One of the main aims of the researchers and engineers is to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in exhaust fumes. Improved engine efficiency, lowered fuel consumption and reduced emission of toxic substances are the main advantages of internal combustion engines characterized by variable compression ratio.

Opis:

Epidemiological studies clearly indicate that both long- and short-term exposure to several environmental air pollutants cause significant increase in the risk of cardiovascular events, the observed strong relation between particulate matter air level and cardiovascular diseases may be explained by indirect or direct influence of these particles on different biological processes involved in disease development. Improvement of air quality standards and lowering of particulate matter exposure can significantly diminish cardiovascular disease risk and improve public health status.
Badania epidemiologiczne wskazuję, że zarówno długotrwała jak i krótkotrwała ekspozycja na wysokie stężenia różnego typu zanieczyszczeń powietrza powoduje istotny wzrost incydentów klinicznych związanych z chorobami układu sercowo-naczyniowego. U podstaw tego związku leży bezpośredni oraz pośredni wpływ cząstek tworzących te zanieczyszczenia na procesy odgrywające kluczową rolę w rozwoju tych chorób. Zaostrzenie standardów czystości powietrza, a w efekcie zmniejszenie narażenia na działanie zanieczyszczeń powietrza, może w istotnie obniżyć ryzyko rozwoju chorób układu sercowo-naczyniowego i poprawić stan zdrowia populacji.

Opis:

Four seasonal sampling campaigns successively in April, July, September 2008 and February 2009 took place at Świder, a town located to the south-east of Warszawa, Poland. Three particle size fractions of particulate matter were collected by a NILU (The Norwegian Institute for Air Protection, Norway) sampler. The following elements were determined by the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) method: K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Br and Pb. The highest mean mass concentrations in fine and medium fractions were observed in April 2008 and February 2009. For a coarse fraction, the highest values of mass concentrations were observed in April and September 2008. Ca, Mn and Fe existed mainly in the coarse fraction. These elements probably came from the southern direction. Zn was divided between three fractions equally. In February 2009 the highest Zn concentrations were observed in the medium fraction. Pb existed mainly in the fine and medium fractions. The highest values of Pb concentrations were observed in February 2009. Bromium existed in the fine fraction. Correlations were observed between Ca, Mn and Fe concentrations. Correlation factors were about 0.8 for the coarse fraction. For other analyzed elements, the correlation coefficients were small. Basing on the backward trajectories and elemental concentrations of particulate matter (PM), it was confirmed that in winter the main influence on air quality is caused by pollution coming from coal combustion in local houses, heat and power plants working in urban areas. In summer the main influence on air quality is caused by pollution from sources in rural cultivable areas. The improvement of air quality is possible by decreasing the emission, using coal with a small level of harmful compounds and whole elimination of plant preventive agents and using fertilizers with a small content of unwanted elements.

Opis:

Today, one of the most topical issues related to the quality and safety of life on Earth is the monitoring of air quality in terms of its pollution that is harmful to human health and life. The activities undertaken as part of monitoring carried out include, among others, analysis of the composition of exhaust fumes from emission sources, such as households and industrial entities, in terms of the presence therein of potentially hazardous substances, indirectly in order to detect violations of the applicable environmental standards. In order to conduct this type of analysis, unmanned aerial systems are commonly used, which allow sampling in the immediate vicinity of the emission source. However, the currently functioning solutions do not allow for exhaust fume sampling in a way that allows a mixture for testing to be taken directly from an emission source. This leads to questioning of the reliability of the conducted research, as it is uncertain in terms of the origin of the tested mixture, indicating that the test takes place not at the source of the emission, but in its surroundings. This study proposes a technical solution to sample exhaust fumes directly from the emission source - from the interior of chimney openings.

Opis:

Air pollution has a serious impact on the health of human beings and is a major cause of death worldwide every year. Out of the many sources of air pollution, the smoke generated from household combustion devices is very dangerous due to the incomplete combustion of fuel. Women from rural areas suffer a lot due to this harmful smoke. Diseases like cancer, throat, and lung infection occur in adults and children due to inhalation of this smoke. The traditional chulha used by rural women is operated by using cow dung, straw, and wood, and the air is blown manually by using small metallic pipes. This paper presents the design and development of an innovative stove to maximize flame temperature and minimize air pollution to overcome the health-related issues of rural women. A smokeless stove is presented, in which wood, straw, and cow dung are taken as primary fuel, and superheated steam as a secondary oxidizer for its operation. In this stove, a forced draft is created by the provision of a small fan, which is operated by solar power thus eliminating the need of creating a forced draft manually by the cook which makes this innovative stove superior to the traditional chulha. Owing to the provision of superheated steam, the flame temperature as well as the burning efficiency increases. The cooking time is reduced due to higher flame temperature as compared to the liquefied petroleum gas stove. The main objective of this work is to minimize air pollution and provide a smoke-free environment to the people using such devices as this innovative stove offers complete combustion of fuel. The flame temperature of the designed stove ranges from 595°C to 700°C and its thermal efficiency is 10–17% higher than that of the traditional chulha. The design of this stove is unique, and its maintenance cost is also much less.

Opis:

Jednym z ważniejszych problemów związanych ze stanem zdrowia ludzi oraz komfortem ich życia jest zanieczyszczenie powietrza atmosferycznego. Problem ten występuje zarówno w dużych aglomeracjach miejskich, jak i w małych miejscowościach. Szczególnie szkodliwe są czynniki zanieczyszczenia utrzymujące się na niskich wysokościach i emitowane przez różne źródła, takie jak: miejskie kotłownie, domowe piece opalane węglem i transport samochodowy. Ze względu na niską wysokość (do 40 m) utrzymywania się substancji szkodliwych w zanieczyszczonym powietrzu zagrażają one ludziom w sposób bezpośredni poprzez wdychane powietrze. Są one jedną z głównych przyczyn groźnych chorób układu oddechowego i układu krążenia. Emisja zanieczyszczeń charakteryzująca się wymienionymi cechami nosi nazwę niskiej emisji. Pojęcie to zostało zdefiniowane w następujący sposób: niska emisja – emisja produktów spalania paliw stałych, ciekłych i gazowych do atmosfery ze źródeł emisji (emiterów) znajdujących się na wysokości nie większej niż 40 m. Wyróżnia się emisję komunikacyjną, emisję wynikającą z produkcji ciepła dla potrzeb centralnego ogrzewania i ciepłej wody użytkowej oraz emisję przemysłową. Do produktów spalania wpływających na występowanie niskiej emisji zaliczyć można gazy: dwutlenek węgla CO2, tlenek węgla CO, dwutlenek siarki SO2, tlenki azotu NOX, wielopierścieniowe węglowodory aromatyczne, np. benzo(a)piren oraz dioksyny, a także metale ciężkie (ołów, arsen, nikiel, kadm) i pyły zawieszone PM10, PM2,5. Pyły zawieszone, będące przedmiotem badań pracy, występują w postaci aerozoli atmosferycznych, sklasyfikowanych ze względu na wielkość cząstek jako: PM1 – o wielkości cząstek do 1 μm, PM2,5 – o wielkości cząstek do 2,5 μm, PM10 – o wielkości cząstek do 10 μm. Jedną z form kontroli niskiej emisji jest ciągłe monitorowanie zanieczyszczenia powietrza poprzez rozlokowane na terenach miejskich urządzenia pomiarowe – sensory. Rejestrowane wyniki pomiarów, wraz z przetworzonymi charakterystykami, prezentowane są na stronie internetowej pod adresem: https://airly.eu/map/pl poprzez portal Airly (Airly Sp. z o.o.). Portal ten udostępnia również, w postaci usługi sieciowej API, dane z wybranych punktów pomiarowych. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie opracowanej metody lokalizacji najbardziej zanieczyszczonych obszarów na podstawie analizy wyników pomiarów zanieczyszczeń powietrza dla wybranego obszaru miejskiego zlokalizowanego w południowo-wschodniej części Polski (miasto Krosno). Analiza została wykonana pod kątem opisania dynamiki zmian poziomu zanieczyszczenia w czasie oraz wyznaczenia przestrzennych rozkładów.
One of the most important problems related to the human health and the comfort of their lives is air pollution. This problem occurs both in large urban agglomerations and in small towns. Low altitude pollutants emitted by various sources such as municipal boiler rooms, domestic coal-fired stoves and car transport are particularly harmful. Due to the low altitude of persistence of harmful substances in the polluted air (less than 40 m), they pose a direct threat to people through inhaled air. They are one of the main causes of serious respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The emission of pollutants characterized by these features is called “low emissions”. This concept has been formally defined as follows: low emission — emission of combustion products of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels to the atmosphere from emission sources (emitters) located at an altitude of no more than 40 m. There are transportation/traffic emissions, emissions resulting from production of heat for central heating and domestic hot water, and industrial emissions. Combustion products contributing to the occurrence of low emissions include the following gases: carbon dioxide CO2, carbon monoxide CO, sulfur dioxide SO2, nitrogen oxides NOX, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. benzo(a)pyrene and dioxins, as well as heavy metals (lead, arsenic, nickel, cadmium) and suspended dusts PM10, PM2.5. The suspended dusts, which are the subject of the research, are in the form of atmospheric aerosols classified according to the particle size as: PM1 – particle size up to 1 μm, PM2.5 — particle size up to 2.5 μm, PM10 — particle size up to 10 μm. One of the forms of controlling low emissions is the continuous monitoring of air pollution through measuring devices — sensors located in urban areas. The recorded measurement results, along with the processed characteristics, are presented on the website at: https://airly.eu/map/pl (Airly Sp. z o.o.). This portal also provides data from selected measurement points in the form of a Web API service. The aim of the article is to present the development a method for identification the most polluted areas based on the analysis of the results of air pollution measurements for a selected urban area located in the south-eastern part of Poland (Krosno city). The analysis was performed to describe the dynamics of changes in the pollution level over time and to determine their spatial distribution.

Opis:

Objectives: There are few studies about the association between breathing polluted air and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and cardiac death in the Middle East. This study aimed to investigate the relation between air pollutants and cardiovascular mortality (based on ICD-10) in Ahvaz. Material and methods: In this ecological study, the data about cardiovascular disease mortality and air pollutants from March 2008 until March 2015 was inquired from the Ahvaz City Authority and the Khuzestan Province Environmental Protection Agency. The quasi-Poisson, second degree polynomial constrained, distributed lag model; using single and cumulative lag structures, adjusted by trend, seasonality, temperature, relative humidity, weekdays and holidays was used for the data analysis purposes. Results: Findings indicated a direct significant relation between an interquartile range (IQR) increase in ozone and cardiovascular deaths among men after 3 days’ lag. There was also a significant relation between an IQR increase in particulate matter below 10 μm and cardiovascular deaths for all people, over 60 years old and under 18 years old after 3 and 13 days’ lags. There was a significant relation between an IQR increase in nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, and cardiovascular deaths in the case of under 18-year-olds (in the lag 11) and over 60-year-olds (in the lag 9), respectively. We finally found a significant association between an IQR increase in sulfur dioxide and cardiovascular deaths in the case of men, under 18-year-olds and from 18- to 60-year-olds in the lag 9, 0, and 11, respectively (p-values < 0.05). Conclusions: It appears that air pollution is significantly associated with cardiovascular deaths in Ahvaz City. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2018;31(4):459–473

ObjectivesAmbient air pollution is related to adverse respiratory effects. Because of a popular habit of recreational physical activity, the effects of exposure to increased levels of air pollution attract increasing attention. It remains unclear whether the allergy status has an impact on acute responses to air pollution exposure during brief exercise in young adults. The aim of the study was to determine if acute respiratory responses to ambient air pollution during physical exercise differ between young subjects with and without a history of upper respiratory allergy.Material and MethodsOverall, 41 young males with (N = 15, 36.6%) and without allergy (N = 26, 63.4%) performed short moderate-intensive cycle-ergometer sessions in winter air pollution exposure conditions. Associations were analyzed between environmental conditions and acute physiological changes in spirometry, fractioned exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels, blood pressure and pulse oximetry.ResultsNo associations between air pollution concentrations and changes in forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 s and the Tiffeneau index were found. In the subjects without allergy, the increased air pollution concentrations recorded during exercise were associated with a post-exercise increase/a smaller decrease in FeNO (SO2: Spearman’s ρ = 0.44, NOx: ρ = 0.51, and particulate matter [PM] levels – PM10: ρ = 0.51, PM2.5: ρ = 0.52). This effect was not observed in the subjects with allergy.ConclusionsUpper-respiratory allergy may be a modifying factor in human response to air pollution during exercise. Exposure to air pollution during brief moderate-intensive exercise did not have any acute negative impact on respiratory and cardiovascular function in young males. However, in the case of FeNO, subclinical post-exercise changes related to air pollution were observed in volunteers without allergy.

Opis:

Extraction of natural resources in the Arctic region is difficult and dangerous from an ecological point of view. Under the conditions of the harsh Arctic climate, the probability of emergency situations increases significantly. The transboundary part of the Arctic region is also characterized by difficult climatic conditions. Strong environmental pollution is caused by the development of oil and gas production, as well as processing of oil and gas products at industrial plants. All this calls for a change in the basic elements of the environment: soil, air, water, etc. It is accepted that air can be considered as the initial link in the chain of environmental pollution and objects. Therefore, it is important to monitor the impact of emissions from the oil and gas industry into the atmosphere. Hence, there is a need to assess the condition of the air basin. The purpose of the study: to assess the degree of atmospheric air pollution as a result of the operation of a gas processing plant for various pollutants. In the course of the work, based on the analysis of the proposed criteria for assessing the existing state of the atmosphere and atmospheric air pollution, the degree of atmospheric air pollution by various pollutants was assessed. The characteristics and parameters of emissions were obtained, the polluting element with the highest emission value (methanol) was installed, and the boundary of the sanitary protection zone was constructed. On the basis of the results of the work carried out, it was concluded that the air basin of the area under consideration is characterized by: severe climatic conditions, low self-cleaning ability of the air basin, limited favorable ability to decompose pollutants entering it, favorable ability to wash out harmful substances, and relatively favorable hygienic condition of the air basin.

Pomimo wielu wysiłków organizacji pozarządowych i zwiększającej się z upływem czasu świadomości ludzi stan jakości powietrza w wielu polskich miastach nie uległ poprawie. Szacuje się, że z powodu zanieczyszczenia powietrza atmosferycznego Europejczycy żyją średnio o 9 miesięcy krócej. Z problemem tym zmagają się mieszkańcy dużych aglomeracji miejskich oraz małych miejscowości. Nawet jeśli w danej miejscowości nie są zlokalizowane zakłady przemysłowe emitujące szkodliwe substancje do atmosfery, to źródłem zanieczyszczeń utrzymujących się na niskich wysokościach są: miejskie kotłownie, domowe piece opalane węglem i transport samochodowy. Emisja zanieczyszczeń scharakteryzowana przez wymienione cechy nosi nazwę „niskiej emisji”. Jednym z ważniejszych zadań związanych z diagnozą i przeciwdziałaniem temu zjawisku jest ciągłe monitorowanie zanieczyszczenia powietrza poprzez rozlokowane na terenach miejskich urządzenia pomiarowe – sensory oraz lokalizowanie obszarów najbardziej zanieczyszczonych. Celem prezentowanej pracy było wykonanie analizy wyników pomiarów zanieczyszczeń powietrza pyłami zawieszonymi oraz opracowanie metody lokalizacji obszarów, w których znajdują się potencjalne źródła skażenia. Terenem badań był obszar miejski Krosna – miasta w południowo-wschodniej części Polski. Do przeprowadzenia wspomnianej analizy wykorzystano metody analizy geostatystycznej. Zasadnicza trudność w zrealizowaniu tak postawionego zadania polega na tym, że punkty pomiarowe, na podstawie których czerpiemy wiedzę o skażeniach, znajdują się w przypadkowo zlokalizowanych miejscach i nie są związane ze źródłami zanieczyszczeń. Wyniki rozkładów badanych parametrów, uzyskiwane metodą krigingu, mogą sugerować, że punkty pomiarowe reprezentują źródła. Tak jest w wielu przypadkach badań środowiskowych. Na przykład mierząc natężenie hałasu w obiektach przemysłowych, ustawia się mikrofony przy źródłach hałasu (silniki, wentylatory, pompy itp.) oraz w otoczeniu (aby zmierzyć propagację hałasu w miejscach oddalonych od jego źródeł). W przypadku badań zanieczyszczeń powietrza tak nie jest. Aby zobrazować różnice w uzyskanych (różnymi metodami) wynikach, posłużono się dwiema metodami geostatystycznej analizy danych: krigingiem i symulacją warunkową. Wykonano analizę wyników pomiarów zanieczyszczeń powietrza pyłami zawieszonymi (PM1, PM2,5 i PM10) na podstawie danych rzeczywistych pozyskanych z pomiarów wykonanych na terenie miasta Krosna. Wyznaczono rejony największego skażenia powietrza. Zobrazowano uzyskane wyniki w postaci map przestrzennych rozkładów poziomu zanieczyszczenia powietrza pyłami: PM1, PM2,5 oraz PM10. Wykazano, że metoda symulacji warunkowej pozbawiona jest wady lokalizowania obszarów najbardziej zanieczyszczonych w punktach pomiarowych i dlatego charakteryzuje się lepszą skutecznością (w porównaniu z krigingiem).
Despite many efforts of non-governmental organizations and the increasing awareness of people over time, the air quality in many Polish cities has not improved. It is estimated that Europeans live 9 months shorter on average due to air pollution. The inhabitants of large urban agglomerations and small towns are struggling with the air pollution problem. Even if no industrial plants emitting harmful substances into the atmosphere are located in a given locality, there are others sources of pollution, such as: coal-fired stoves and car transport. The emission of pollutants characterized by these features is called “low emission”. One of the most important tasks related to the diagnosis and prevention of this phenomenon is the continuous monitoring of air pollution by measuring devices – sensors located in urban areas. The aim of the presented work was to analyze the results of measurements of air pollution data. Based on the data a method of locating the most polluted areas was developed. The urban area of Krosno, a city located in southeastern Poland, was chosen as the research area. The analysis was performed using the methods of geostatistical analysis. The main difficulty in carrying out such a task is that the measuring points on the basis of which we learn about contamination are located in randomly located places and are not associated with the sources of contamination. The results of the distributions of the examined parameters, obtained by the kriging method, may suggest that the measuring points represent sources. For example, when measuring noise levels in industrial facilities, microphones are positioned at noise sources (motors, fans, pumps, etc.) and in the surrounding area (to measure noise propagation in places far from its sources). This is not the case with air pollution studies. To illustrate the differences in the obtained results, two methods of geostatistical data analysis were used: kriging and conditional simulation. An analysis of the results of measurements of air pollution with suspended dust (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10) was performed on the basis of actual data obtained from measurements made in the city of Krosno. The areas of the highest air pollution were determined. The obtained results were presented in the form of spatial maps of the distribution of PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 air pollution levels. It has been shown that the conditional simulation method demonstrates better efficiency of locating the most polluted areas (compared to kriging).

Opis:

A venturi scrubber is designed to effectively use the energy from the inlet gas stream to atomize the liquid being used to scrub the gas stream. This type of technology is a part of the group of air pollution controls. The air pollution generated from the industry is now become serious problem for the environment, which affect the living and non living thing on the Earth. Among all the air pollution monitoring equipment venturi scrubber found to suitable for prevention of air pollution by pesticide. It was found that scrubber shows 99.1 % efficiency.
