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.

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.

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.

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.

Opis:
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.

Opis:
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 aim of the article is to draw the European readers’ attention to the problem that the citizens of Poland must face every year during the heating season – the danger of smog. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
Jednym z najważniejszych kierunków działań związanych z transportem drogowym, szczególnie miejskim, jest poszukiwanie rozwiązań technicznych i organizacyjnych minimalizujących obciążenie środowiska powodowane ruchem pojazdów. Istotne jest tu między innymi ograniczenie zanieczyszczenia powietrza. Rozwój technologii ITS stwarza w tym zakresie nowe, szerokie możliwości. W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki pierwszego etapu realizacji koncepcji rozbudowy nieinwazyjnego systemu monitoringu ruchu drogowego OnDynamic o moduł oceny jakości powietrza. Etap ten obejmował mobilny monitoring jakości powietrza w warunkach szczytów komunikacyjnych. Badania przeprowadzono w Bielsku-Białej, a ich wyniki będą wykorzystane w dalszych pracach mających na celu ustalenie lokalizacji dla stacji systemu OnDynamic rozszerzonego o moduł oceny jakości powietrza.
One of the most important directions of activities relating to road transport, particularly in urban areas, is seeking technical and organizational solutions to minimize the environmental impact caused by road traffic. Highly important, among other things, is to reduce air pollution. Development of ITS technology creates in this field new possibilities. The article presents the results of the first phase of the extension of OnDynamic (non-invasive traffic monitoring system) with an air quality assessment module. This stage included a mobile air quality monitoring during transport peaks. The study was conducted in Bielsko-Biala, and their results will be used in further work to determine a location for the OnDynamic station equipped with a module of air quality assessment.

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.

Opis:
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.
