Opis:
The article deals with the analysis of the split of mercury present in raw coals between commercial products and wastes in 21 Polish collieries producing hard steam coal (Upper Silesia Coal Basin). The coal cleaning constitutes the first step in the reduction of mercury emissions in coal utilisation (mainly combustion) processes by decreasing the charge of mercury in the commercial products in comparison to the raw coal. The ratio of this reduction depends, first of all, on the technological characteristics of raw coal, as well as on the range of the applied coal cleaning method. The charges of mercury in exploited raw coals are split in coal preparation processes (mainly coal cleaning processes) between commercial products and waste products. The mercury content in commercial products has been analysed together with the emissions from coal combustion processes. In the second case, tools for the reduction of emissions have already been employed. Characteristics of waste products, in particular the mercury content, have been under consideration to a less extent so far. Data presented in the article allows for better, broadened with the waste products, analyses, understanding and assessment of all environmental mercury originated risks, arising from coal production, including coal cleaning. Presented data generate also the need for discussion of such terms like: “mercury reduction in commercial coal products” and “mercury emissions reduction”, as the result of coal cleaning processes.

Opis:
Objectives Gold miners use mercury to extract gold from ore adding liquid mercury to the milled gold-containing ore. This results in a mercury-gold compound, called amalgam. Miners smelt this amalgam to obtain gold, vaporizing it and finally inhaling the toxic mercury fumes. The objective was to merge and analyze data from different projects, to identify typical signs and symptoms of chronic inorganic mercury exposure. Material and Methods Miners and community members from various artisanal small-scale gold mining areas had been examined (Philippines, Mongolia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Indonesia). Data of several health assessments were pooled. Urine, blood and hair samples were analyzed for mercury (N = 1252). Questionnaires, standardized medical examinations and neuropsychological tests were used. Participants were grouped into: Controls (N = 209), living in an exposed area (N = 408), working with mercury as panners (N = 181), working with mercury as amalgam burners (N = 454). Chi2 test, linear trend test, Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test, correlation coefficient, Spearman’s rho, and analysis of variance tests were used. An algorithm was used to define participants with chronic mercury intoxication. Results Mean mercury concentrations in all exposed subgroups were elevated and above threshold limits, with amalgam burners showing highest levels. Typical symptoms of chronic metallic mercury intoxication were tremor, ataxia, coordination problems, excessive salivation and metallic taste. Participants from the exposed groups showed poorer results in different neuropsychological tests in comparison to the control group. Fifty-four percent of the high-exposed group (amalgam burners) were diagnosed as being mercury-intoxicated, compared to 0% within the control group (Chi2 p < 0.001). Conclusions Chronic mercury intoxication, with tremor, ataxia and other neurological symptoms together with a raised body burden of mercury was clinically diagnosed in exposed people in artisanal small-scale mining areas. The mercury exposure needs to be urgently reduced. Health care systems need to be prepared for this emerging problem of chronic mercury intoxication among exposed people.

Opis:
The aim of the conducted research was to determine the mercury content in the upper layers of soil taken from the areas with various impact of anthropogenic pressure. The article presents the content of mercury in the top layers of soils from selected areas of two districts of Warsaw, ie Ursynów and Mokotów. These areas are heavily influenced by the human activity. For comparison, a soil sample was also taken from the area of the Solska Forest, which is an example of an area with a negligible impact of anthropogenic pressure. The mercury content in the analyzed soil samples taken from the area of Warsaw ranged from 0.0334 mg·kg-1 to 0.4004 mg·kg-1 in Ursynów, while the soils from the Mokotów area contained from 0.2320 mg·kg-1 to 1.3098 mg·kg-1. For comparison, the sample from the Solska Forest area contained 0.2544 mg Hg·kg-1. In order to avoid uncontrolled re-emission and, as a consequence, possible accumulation of this element in the environment, it is necessary to continue monitoring the level of mercury pollution, among others, in soil.

Opis:
Rtęć zajmuje jedno z pierwszych miejsc na liście najbardziej niebezpiecznych, globalnych zanieczyszczeń środowiska. Nie pełni żadnej znanej roli biologicznej, jest natomiast toksyczna dla wszystkich żywych organizmów. Skażenie rtęcią, początkowo postrzegane jako poważny problem lokalny, stanowi obecnie problem powszechny. Wynika to ze specyficznej natury tego metalu, która zdeterminowana jest mnogością jego form, dużą lotnością i ruchliwością w środowisku. Toksyczne działanie rtęci i jej związków zależy głównie od formy w jakiej występuje (rtęć elementarna, nieorganiczne i organiczne związki rtęci), od drogi wniknięcia do organizmu, dawki oraz czasu ekspozycji. Najbardziej groźne dla człowieka (zwłaszcza dla płodu i małych dzieci) są organiczne związki metylortęciowe, ponieważ uszkadzają one przede wszystkim ośrodkowy układ nerwowy [58÷61]. Rtęć uwolniona do środowiska naturalnego pozostaje w nim, przemieszczając się w różnej postaci pomiędzy jego elementami: powietrzem, wodą, osadami, glebą oraz organizmami żywymi. Ze względu na swoją stosunkowo dużą lotność może zostać przeniesiona na duże odległości. Nie ulega biodegradacji i dlatego bardzo długo utrzymuje się w środowisku, gromadząc się w łańcuchach troficznych i przedostając się do organizmu ludzkiego. W środowisku naturalnym rtęć występuje głównie w łupkach węglowych i łupkach bitumicznych oraz zasadowych skałach krystalicznych, w glebach gliniastych i torfowych, oraz stanowi zanieczyszczenie paliw kopalnych.
Toxic sources of mercury emission into the environment and human organisms were given. The strategy of Union concerning mercury as well as some of its decisions were presented. In the case of people not exposed to mercury professionally diet rich in fish and dental amalgam are the main sources of mercury. Some results of studies of mercury content in fish were presented. Current regulations in force determining maximal acceptable norms for mercury content in fish, fish products and diet supplements were given. It was pointed out that 75-95% of mercury in fish and seafood is in the form of methylmercury, which is the strong neurotoxin, the current PTWI norm (EFSA) is 1.6 žg of methylmercury compounds per a kilo of body mass (1.6 žg/kg bw/week). The amounts of mercury found in ford products other than fish and seafood are not so worrying because in the case of these products mercury does not appear in the form of methylmercury, which poses less threat. Mercury amalgams used as dental fillers were characterized. UE does not recommend amalgams as dental fillers. Even those in favour using claim that a man should not have more than 6-7 of such fillers them. So far no studies proved that the amount of mercury released from a amalgam dental fillers into organism is can lead to poisoning. However, authors of many studies of mercury content in hair or urine carried out in 2 groups of people which and without amalgam dental fillers found out that the content of mercury was noticeably higher among those with the amalgam fillers. It was recognized that using amalgam without gamma -2 phase would reduce the exposure to mercury. Amalgam dental fillers should not be used in the case of pregnant women and people suffering from kidney disorders. Some attention was paid to mercury compounds which can possibly appear as preservation substances (mainly thimerosal) in some cosmetics, medicines and vaccines. Methods of mercury analysis were presented. 57 publications were cited.

Opis:
Artykuł traktuje o problemach związanych z emisją rtęci do środowiska w procesach użytkowania węgla kamiennego. Punktem wyjściowym artykułu jest dysproporcja w danych statystycznych dotyczących ilości użytkowanego węgla oraz emitowanej do atmosfery ilości rtęci w USA i Polsce. Autorzy zwracają uwagę na rozbieżności w oficjalnie publikowanych danych statystycznych dotyczących emisji rtęci w Polsce. Rozbieżności wynikają prawdopodobnie z braku wiarygodnych danych dotyczących zawartości rtęci w węglach, kierowanych do utylizacji. Z przeglądu danych literaturowych wynika, że średnia zawartość rtęci w węglu kamiennym wydobywanym w Polsce, jest oceniana na od około 70 do ponad 350 ppb. Takie rozbieżności w zawartości rtęci w polskich węglach nie mogą być źródłem wiarygodnych szacunków ilości rtęci wprowadzanej do atmosfery w wyniku procesów użytkowania węgla. Dodatkowe komplikacje powoduje brak dokładnej wiedzy dotyczącej rozkładu zawartości rtęci w surowych urobkach węgli oraz niepełne wzbogacanie węgli w Polsce. Brak jest również szczegółowej wiedzy dotyczącej zachowania się rtęci w procesach wzbogacania polskich węgli. Dodatkowo, w małym stopniu zidentyfikowane są zagrożenia związane z zagospodarowaniem odpadów górniczych, przeróbczych i elektrownianych, zawierających związki rtęci.
The paper concerns the issues associated with the mercury emissions to the environment during hard coal utilization processes. The basic reason for undertaking the topic of mercury in coal and for writing the paper was the disproportion between the statistical data on the amounts of utilized coal and the mercury emissions in the USA and Poland. The authors point out the divergence between published statistical data on mercury emissions in Poland. The divergence, possibly, results from the lack of reliable data concerning the mercury content in utilized coal. The literature review shows, that the mean mercury content in hard coals, exploited in Poland, can be assessed from 70 to 350 ppb. Such data divergences on the mercury content in Polish hard coals can not constitute the basis for reliable assessments of the quantity of mercury emitted to the air due to coal utilization. Additional difficulties have been arising from the lack of knowledge on the mercury distribution in raw coal and from only partial steam coal cleaning in Poland. There is also the lack of detailed knowledge concerning the behavior of mercury during the clearing of Polish hard coals. Additionally, the impacts of mercury bearing mining, coal preparation and power industry wastes, are poorly recognized.

Opis:
High concentrations of mercury (Hg), reaching astonishing values in two cases, have recently been detected in Middle and Late Triassic fossil reptile bones, housed for over 100 years in several Polish museum collections. Since no correlation between either the life modes of these taxa or their burial environment was observed, the studied contaminations seem to be associated with housing conditions. The specimens were kept for an extended amount of time in boxes, in which they were stored soon after finding. A proximity of mercury-containing materials, like mercury fulminate, and unstandardized conditions of storage and conservation of the remains may result in contamination of porous bone with mercury. A detailed knowledge about the housing history of old museum collections has great importance to their prospective studies.

Opis:
The study presents measurement results of the concentration of total gaseous mercury (TGM) in the atmospheric air of 2010–2011 coming from the only measurement station in the Mazovia Province, the Granica-KPN station (λE 20°27'20" φN 52°◦17'09.088"). A series of measurement results of mercury concentration was used to estimate the model which identifies the influence of chosen measurement results, both imission and meteorological ones, on concentrations of gaseous mercury in the atmospheric air. Due to the number of measurements limited to 2 years, the study made an attempt to perform an initial evaluation of seasonal factors. The analyses used included: the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a path for the Generalised Regression Model (GRM). Average concentration of TGM in 2010–2011 amounted to 1.52 ng m-3 which is very close to the background values obtained in other European countries. Seasonal dependence of TGM concentration was observed; in the cold half-year the TGM concentration was higher compared to the summer season. The obtained results of identifying the PCA and GRM models enable presenting the following synthetic, final conclusions: The employed models of PCA and GRM show that key factors which shape mercury concentration are the following: suspended dust PM10, gaseous pollutants: SO2 and NO2, and meteorological parameters: air temperature, relative humidity of air and solar radiation intensity. The index of the phenomenon, i.e. the first principal component, identifies this relationship as the strongest and most significant, but it is worth noting that there occurs inversely proportional influence of air temperature and solar radiation intensity. The GRM model shows the occurrence of seasonality in monthly periods and in total as an interaction of the year and the months, which is further confirmed in the PCA model through “distribution” of the effect of specific factors over successive principal components. Ozone, for instance, is connected with the first three components to a different degree (-0.6 with Component 1, 0.3 with Component 2 and 0.62 with Component 3) and not with the first or only one of the components. The PCA model is a linear relationship within each component separately and the relationships, being orthogonal to each other, account for successive parts of the total variance. The variables: ozone, wind velocity and atmospheric pressure are not related to the index of the phenomenon, i.e. to the first component. They are related to next principal components, which may prove a strong irregularity of the relationships or the occurrence of seasonality. To build the model, the study used data from a period of two years: 2010 and 2011. It does not give a sufficient number of observations for stable identification of seasonality (at least 5 repetitive periods) and further correlations of factors, i.e. successive principal components. Those components may indicate not so much the absence of measurement correlations with mercury, but a non-linear character or a strong dependence on various seasonal influences, such as yearly, seasonal or monthly fluctuations.

Opis:
Determination of trace elements in combusted materials has always been an interesting field of environmental studies. Particulate matter, in particular, is a serious problem which, can lead to air pollution especially by heavy metals emissions in urban and industrial areas. There is a considerable concern about the elevated level of mercury released during combustion and the proportion of anthropogenic mercury in the environment. Nowadays, small-scale installations have been identified as a significant source-pathway for mercury pollution, particularly those that use coal. A total amount of mercury was determined using Mercury Analyzer. The investigated material consists of bottom ash, fly ash, slag, soot or dust. The obtained results varied according to the type of the material and plant. The developed methodology was checked by carrying out the analysis of certificate material of Soil NCS ZC 73001 and the reference material of Soil-7.

This paper presents the results of the investigation associated with the determination of mercury content in Polish hard coal and lignite samples. Those coals are major fuels used for electricity generation in Poland. The results indicated that the average content of mercury in the coal samples was roughly about 100 ng/g. Apart from the determination of the mercury contents a detailed ultimate and proximate analysis of the coal samples was also carried out. The relationships between the mercury content and ash, as well as fixed carbon, volatile matter, sulfur, and high heating value of the coal samples were also established. Furthermore, the effect of coal enrichment was also investigated, and it was found that the enrichment process enabled the removal of up to 75% of the coal mercury from the samples.
W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań zawartości rtęci w polskich węglach kamiennych i brunatnych. Wyżej wymienione paliwa są głównymi paliwami używanymi do produkcji energii elektrycznej w Polsce. Wyniki wykazały, że średnia zawartość rtęci w badanych próbkach węgli wynosi około 100 ng/g. Oprócz badań zawartości rtęci przeprowadzono także analizę techniczną i elementarną próbek węgli. Zestawiono zależności pomiędzy zawartością rtęci a zawartością popiołu, fixed carbonu, części lotnych, siarki oraz ciepłem spalania. Przedstawiono także wyniki badań wpływu wzbogacania węgla na zawartość rtęci. Stwierdzono, że w wyniku procesu wzbogacania możliwe było usunięcie prawie 75% rtęci zawartej w wyjściowym paliwie.

Opis:
The aim of the study was to analyse the balance of mercury (Hg), i.e. the content of this metal, its inflow and outflow, in the ecosystem of the Bay of Puck. Based on literature data and the results of the author’s own study, this analysis has shown that the main source of Hg pollution is the atmosphere. An estimated 1.1–3.8 kg of Hg enters annually from the atmosphere, whereas the mass of Hg carried there by river waters per annum is about 7 times lower (0.13–0.44 kg year−1). The 0.9 –2.7 kg year−1 of Hg released from Bay of Puck waters to the atmosphere is of the same order as the quantity deposited from the atmosphere. The total amount of Hg deposited in the upper (0–5 cm deep) layer of the sediments has been estimated at 240–320 kg, its rate of entry being c. 2.25–2.81 kg year−1. 0.25–1.25 kg year−1 of Hg are released from the bottom sediments to bulk water, while 0.61–0.97 kg remains confined in aquatic organisms, including 133 g in the phytobenthos, 2.6 g in the zooplankton, 420–781 g in the macrozoobenthos and 34 g in fish.

Opis:
Coal consumption secures more than 50% of needs of Polish economy for primary energy carriers and the consumption of hard coal alone amounts 70-80 million Mg annually. Almost 14% of hard coal consumption - up to 11 million Mg per year - fall to households in Poland. Coal combustion in domestic furnaces and boilers is regarded as the main source of emissions into the atmosphere, referred to as the low-stack emission. The matter of the paper is the assessment of the emission of mercury from the households sector as the result of coal combustion. The results of the assessment were collated with GUS data on mercury emission from this sector. A change in the annual emission of mercury from the household sector has been proposed and justified, assuming that the whole low-stack emission of mercury is the result of coal combustion only.

Opis:
The determination of the composition of gas mixtures, especially those analytes which exist, for example, as contaminants for the main components of the gas mixture, very often requires the concentration of the analyte so that it can be quantified. The analysis of gaseous environmental samples, including air and air samples at workplaces, is difficult, which results from: the need to work with samples with an extensive matrix and heterogeneous distribution of pollutants, the stability of the analyte and the presence of interfering substances (interferents) in the sample. On the other hand, the analysis of trace components of gaseous fuels is difficult due to the need to collect a suitably concentrated sample so that these components can be quantified. This article provides an overview and analysis of the methods used for the collection and determination of mercury in gas mixtures. Currently, there are standardized mercury collection and determination methodologies dedicated to matrices such as air, workplace air, waste gases or natural gas. These are both manual and fully automated methods. Most of the methods described in the literature on the subject consist of two stages, i.e. the stage of collecting a sample for a solid or liquid sorbent and the stage of desorption and determination of the mercury content in the collected sample using methods dedicated to the analysis of this element. The most frequently used methods for collecting mercury samples in gas mixtures are: the gold amalgamation method and the sorption methods on powder sorbents (such as activated carbon, hopcalite, impregnated silica gel), glass fibers, impregnated cellulose filters and liquid sorbents (such as e.g. acids). The methods of sample desorption are varied and depend on the material on which the analyte has been absorbed and the selected mercury determination method. Three methods are mainly used to analyze samples for mercury content, i.e. the cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry method (CV-AAS), the cold vapor fluorescence atomic spectrometry method (CV-AFS) and the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry method (ICP-MS). However, it should be kept in mind that although the methods available and used for the analysis of mercury content in gas are standardized, they are not resistant to the presence of hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulphide in the tested samples. These are the compounds that are most often mentioned as substances interfering in the determination of mercury in gases using the above-mentioned methods.

Opis:
Gold processing activities in Paya Seumantok Village, Krueng Sabee District, Aceh Jaya Regency, are known to utilize traditional mercury, posing a health threat to the workers and the local community. This study aims to identify local people’s urinary mercury levels near the gold processing plant in Paya Seumantok Village and to see the relationship between mercury levels and disease symptoms exhibited by the local people. To this end, ninety-one participants were recruited from a total member of a population of 928 people, determined using Slovin’s formula. The urine sample was collected using a purposive sampling technique following the procedure set by the regulation of the Minister of Health no. 43/2013. AAS Instrument was used to analyze the urinary mercury level. Sixteen out of 91 urine samples exhibited no mercury, while the rest, 75 samples, were found to contain mercury. The average urinary mercury level among local people near the site was 8.392 μg/L (SD: 6.721 g/L), while the minimum and maximum urinary mercury levels in this study were 0.19 μg/L and. 28.31 μg/L, respectively. Thirty-six samples were found to have mercury levels exceeding the acceptable threshold (7 μg/L), while thirty-nine samples had urinary mercury levels below the threshold. This study concluded that there is no relationship between urinary mercury levels and symptoms of acute and chronic diseases experienced local community and workers at the gold processing site in Paya Seumantok Village, Krueng Sabee District, Aceh Jaya Regency (p > 0.05).

Opis:
Mercury is among the heavy metals that have been reported to cause devastating health problems worldwide. The present work was aimed at investigating the effects of mercury chloride on the cytomorphology of the peritoneal macrophages of rat. The current study characterizes the mechanism by which mercury, a toxic metal, induces death in rat macrophages. In mercury treated group significant numbers of peritoneal macrophages were found to be pyknotic. The cellular death was confirmed by membrane blebbing and membrane rupture. Percentages of cells showing membrane blebbing was increased significantly after treatment. The result indicated mercury induced toxicity may affect macrophage mediated immunity. So macrophage activation during heavy metal mediated reaction is an interesting area to be explored in future researches.

Opis:
The article presents the results of investigations focused on the determination of mercury content in gas and solid samples. The emission of Hg was the result of coal combustion. The investigations were carried out in the selected power generation facilities operated with pulverized coal and circulating fluidized bed boilers. Analysis was carried out for the flue gases, as well as fuel and sorbent samples and the by-products of the combustion process (fly ash, slag, bottom ash, and the products of wet desulfurization technology). The determination of mercury content in solid samples was carried out using Lumex RA-915+ spectrometer with RP-91C attachment. The measurements of the mercury concentration in the flue gases were performed according to the cold vapor technique. The analysis of the results indicated that the main source of mercury is coal, but significant concentration was also determined for the biomass co-combusted in one of the facilities. Considerable amounts were also determined in fly ash and wet FGD (flue gas desulfurization) samples.

Opis:
The paper contains reference literature analysis concerning mercury content in Polish bituminous coal and post-mining waste as well as the impact of mercury content on the environment. The aim of the paper was to determine the occurrence of the risk of contamination of the environment with mercury compounds found in demolition bituminous coal landfills. Mercury, due to its toxic properties has been classified among the most dangerous substances to human health. There are three groups of sources of mercury release into the environment: natural, anthropogenic and remission. Coal mining, its processing and use in the energy sector has the greatest relevance regarding the pollution of the environment with mercury compounds in Poland. A review of reference literature shows that the average content of mercury in Polish bituminous coal varies within a wide range of 41e399 ppb, which is conditional on the origin, age and type of coal. The production of coal has led to a number of facilities in the form of structurally and age-varied landfills, heaps and mining waste dumps. The content of mercury in postmining waste is in the range from approximately 55 to 380 ppb. The problem of environmental contamination with mercury has attracted considerable interest due to the effects that its concentration have in the biosphere. On the basis of the existing data it has been found that the content of mercury in soils in areas degraded by mining and processing of coal is even 10e16 times higher, compared to the geochemical background. It is necessary to conduct research in this area due to the limited results of research on mercury content in deposited waste from the preparation and flotation of Polish bituminous coals and the potential harmful effect of mercury on the environment. The paper is dedicated to the mercury content in waste from the extraction and processing of bituminous coal.

Opis:
Objectives To investigate 4 loci of 3 HSP70 genes in caustic soda production plant former workers, who have been exposed to metallic mercury vapors for a long time, and including numerous cases of chronic mercury intoxication (CMI). Material and Methods Polymorphisms in HSP70 gene family members (HSP1A1 (+190G/C, rs1043618), HSPA1B (+1267A/G and +2074G/C, rs1061581) and HSP1AL (+2437T/C, rs2227956)) genes were studied among 120 male workers involved in caustic soda production by mercury electrolysis at 2 plants in Eastern Siberia. These subjects had been chronically exposed to metallic mercury vapors for > 5 years and divided into 3 groups based on the occurrence and time of the CMI diagnosis, or absence of this disease. The Group 1 consisted of individuals (N = 46), who had had contact with mercury but were not diagnosed with the CMI. The Group 2 included workers (N = 56), who were diagnosed with the CMI longer than 14 years ago. The Group 3 consisted of the subjects (N = 18), who had been diagnosed with the CMI 3–5 years ago. The logistic regression analysis was used for 3 genetic models with and without adjustment for age and duration of mercury vapor exposure. Results We found that genotypes СС-HSPA1A (+190G/C) and GG-HSPA1B (+1267A/G) had a high predictive risk of the CMI development (adjusted odds ratio ($\text{OR}_\text{adj}$) = 5.58, p = 0.026 and $\text{OR}_\text{adj}$ = 14.7, p = 0.0015, respectively). Twelve individuals with the CMI had a specific combination of СС-HSPA1A (+190G/C) and GG-HSPA1B (+1267A/G) genotypes, which strongly associated with the diagnosis ($\text{OR}_\text{adj}$ = 12.3, p = 0.0285). Moreover, significant association with the CMI was also obtained for the haplotype G-C of 1267A/G and 190G/C polymorphisms (OR = 2.1, p = 0.018). Conclusions The association of СС-HSPA1A (+190G/C) and GG-HSPA1B (+1267A/G) genotypes and their combination for the CMI individuals suggests the role for HSPA1 genes in mercury-dependent mechanisms of the CMI development and progression.

Opis:
Comparison studies have been performed on determination of total mercury in wet deposition by two analytical methods. The studies were carried out in the period of March to November 2009 at the sampling point located near intensive traffic in Southern Poland (Zabrze). The difference between these two methods consisted in preparation of samples for analysis and in the type of measuring device. In both cases, the method of cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CV-AAS) after reduction of SnCl2 was used by means of a mercury analyzer model MA-2 produced by Nippon Instruments Corp. or of a mercury analyzer RA-915+ produced by LUMEX. Good agreement of the results have been obtained (relative error of the determination between the methods varied from 18% to 40%). Both analytical methods can be considered equivalent and used as a reference to each other. Quantity assessment of mercury wet deposition in southern Poland is lower than in 90 s, but still much higher in comparison with other countries in Europe and worldwide (ca. 30 μg·m -2·year -1.

Opis:
The aim of this study was to assess the mercury concentration in bottom sediments, collected from eight reservoirs located in south-eastern Poland. A DMA-80 Mercury Analyser was used for the analysis of the concentration of mercury in bottom sediments. Concentration of mercury in sediments was between 0.01–0.18 mg∙kg−1. The research results show that 13 samples are above the Polish Hg background level. Only 9 samples are below the background level. Generally, the sediments belonged to class I and II (unpolluted and moderately polluted sediments). The concentration of mercury in bottom sediments follows the order: Rybnik (highest) > Bagna Rzeszowskie > Rzeszów > Ożanna > Brzóza Stadnicka > Brzóza Królewska > Głuchów > Narożniki (lowest). The low mercury content in sediments is related to absent or limited anthropogenic sources of this metal. Elevated concentrations of Hg in bottom sediments of the reservoirs in Rybnik and Bagna Rzeszowskie are related to their proximity to large agglomerations and industrial plants. Organic matter was likely to be the most important factors controlling the concentration and distribution of mercury in the studied sediments.

Obserwacje te dały początek licznym badaniom epidemiologicznym, klinicznym i doświadczalnym mającym na celu wyjaśnienie tego zjawiska. Obecnie nie ulega wątpliwości, iż ryby będące źródłem niezbędnych nienasyconych kwasów tłuszczowych z grupy n-3 (n-3 PUFA) są ważnym składnikiem pożywienia, gdyż zawarte w nich kwasy tłuszczowe istotnie wpływają na szereg przemian metabolicznych i tym samym na ryzyko rozwoju różnych chorób.
Fatty acids derived from fish and fish oils have a strong beneficial effect on cardiovascular health and neurodevelopment. Dietary omega 3 fatty acids prevent cardiovascular disease development by the influence on eicosanoid synthesis, cytokine and growth factors production, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, endothelial relaxation. They have a strong antiarrhytmic action on the heart. Enhanced consumption of fish derived fatty acids is related to the low incidence of cardiovascular events and sudden cardiac deaths. High content of mercury in some fishes may attenuate the beneficial effects of omega 3 fatty acids on cardiovascular health and also on neurodevelopment of newborns and children

Objectives: The aim of this work is to perform comparative estimation of cytokines levels in chlorinated hydrocarbons and metallic mercury exposure in employees in the dynamics of neurologic disorders formation. Material and Methods: The contents of cytokines IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-α, INF-γ were determined in blood sera using the method of hardphasic immunoferment analysis. The significance of different average values was assessed using the parametric and non-parametric criteria - Student (in normal distribution) and Mann-Whitney tests taking into account the Bonferonni correction (non-difference from normal distribution). Results: It was shown that, a number of inflammation mediators with the dominance, depending on the expositional toxicant and expression of neurological deficiency, take part in the neurointoxication development. Healthy employees show pro-inflammatory responses with different expression degree, which dominate in the immune regulation processes regardless of the expositional factors (metallic mercury vapors and chlorinated hydrocarbons). Conclusions: The production intensity and interconnection between the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines may change in the occupational injuries of the nervous system development process. The decrease in the serum concentrations of cytokines along with the increase of clinical manifestation severity may prove dysregulation of the immune system, which promotes maintaining of pathological process and progradient process of neurointoxication. The most obvious is the imbalance of cytokines in the employees exposed to metallic mercury (in all the examined groups) that increases neurointoxication in the distant period.

Studied territory is characterized by high anthropogenic load. The solid waste landfill in the Obukhiv district of the Kyiv region was characterized by the highest content of Hg in soil. Hg concentration in Taraxacum officinale L. was the highest among all studied plants, hence the possibility of recommending this species for phytoremediation of mercury-polluted soils. Mercury bioaccumulation of aquatic organisms (Blicca bjoerkna L., Esox lucius L., Ceratophyllum demersum L.) was much higher than in terrestrial organisms, which indicates the significantly prevailing level of availability and accumulation of mercury for aquatic species in the water environment.

Miejsca poboru materiału badawczego zlokalizowane zostały w obrębie gleb użytkowanych jako łąki oraz lasy w sąsiedztwie Zakładów Chemicznych "Alwernia" S.A. Stężenie rtęci w badanych profilach było na poziomie niskim i nie przekraczało 0,25 mg/kg. Stwierdzono spadek ilości wraz z głębokością, zarówno na użytkach zielonych, jak i w lasach. Maksymalne zawartości rtęci odnotowano w warstwie próchnicy nadkładowej (ściole) lub w warstwie próchnicznej do głębokości 5 cm. Stwierdzono korelację pomiędzy zawartością rtęci a ilością substancji organicznej, która potwierdza silne wiązanie tego pierwiastka w poziomach organicznych czy mineralno-organicznych.
In the article the studies referring to the definition of vertical distribution of mercury content in selected soil profiles were presented. Places of sampling were situated within the grounds used as meadows and forests in the vicinity of Chemical Plant "Alwernia" S.A. The concentration of mercury in the studied profiles was low and did not exceed 0.25 mg/kg. The decrease of the concentration with depth was observed both in meadows and forests. Maximum contents of mercury were observed in the layer of litter or in humus up to the depth of 5 cm. The correlation between the content of mercury and the quantity of organic substance was found, which confirms strong binding of this element in the organic or mineral-organic level.

Traditional gold mining activity is one of the sources of mercury contamination. Total mercury concentration in tailing ponds in Kulon Progo ranged from 164.49 mg/kg to 383.21 mg/kg, which exceeded the quality standard values set by the government of Indonesia No. 101 of 2014, which is 75 mg/kg. One method that can be applied is stabilization/solidification (S/S). This study aims to determine the optimum composition of the tailing mixture with fly ash in S/S process. The variations of fly ash composition with tailing are 100: 0, 90: 10, 80: 20, 70: 30, 60: 40, 50: 50, 40: 60, 30: 70, 20: 80 and 10: 90. The results of the study found that the optimum composition of fly ash: tailings was 10: 90, with compression test of 74 ton/m2 and TCLP test was 0.0069 mg/L. The obtained compression test results were in accordance with US EPA Standard quality of 35 ton/m2. TCLP test results meet the standard of Indonesian Government Regulation no. 101 of 2014, amounting to 0.05 mg/L.

Opis:
The aim of this work was to identify concentration levels of different chemical forms of mercury (TGM, TPM) in the ambient air in selected areas of the Silesian Region, characterized by low and high mercury emission. Based on the obtained data TGM and TPM concentration levels were determined. The project also focused on determination of dry and wet deposition of mercury compounds. Data concerning TGM and TPM flux rates in the ambient air and data on mercury deposition were used to determine a deposition coefficient. The coefficient was calculated as a share of mercury deposition on the land surface (dry and wet) to the amount of this contaminant transported with loads of air in the form of TGM and TPM in a given measurement station. At both monitoring stations the deposition coefficient did not exceed 0.2 %. The idea of calculating the deposition coefficient based on the analysis of TGM and TPM flux rate is a new solution. The proposed deposition coefficient allows to quantify information on a selected contaminant concentration and its potential impact resulting from deposition. Further studies on the deposition coefficient may contribute to the development of methods for estimating the impact of contaminants contained in the ambient air on other environmental components based on the analyses of the contaminant flux rate.
Głównym celem tego projektu było określenie poziomów stężeń specjacyjnych form rtęci (TGM, TPM) w powietrzu atmosferycznym na wybranych obszarach Województwa Śląskiego charakteryzujących się zróżnicowanym oddziaływaniu źródeł emisji zanieczyszczeń powietrza. Na podstawie uzyskanych danych pomiarowych określono poziomy stężeń TGM i TPM jakie występują na badanym obszarze oraz wyznaczono wielkości suchej i mokrej depozycji związków rtęci. Na podstawie otrzymanych danych dotyczących natężeń strumieni TGM i TPM a także danych o wielkości depozycji związków rtęci wyznaczono wartość współczynnika depozycji rtęci. Współczynnik ten można scharakteryzować jako udział natężeń strumieni TGM i TPM napływającymi z masami powietrza do punktu pomiarowego w stosunku do suchej i mokrej depozycji rtęci w danym punkcie pomiarowym. Rozwiązanie dotyczące wyznaczenia współczynnika depozycji, które opiera się na analizie przepływów rtęci w powietrzu jest podjęte po raz pierwszy zarówno na świecie, jak i w Polsce. W przeprowadzonych badaniach wartości współczynnika depozycji rtęci nie przekroczyła 0,2%. Zaproponowany współczynnik depozycji daje możliwość powiązania w sposób ilościowy informacji o poziomach stężeń analizowanego zanieczyszczenia w powietrzu atmosferycznym z możliwością jego oddziaływania w wyniku depozycji. Rozwój idei współczynnika depozycji może w przyszłości prowadzić do stworzenia systemu oceny oddziaływania zanieczyszczeń zwartych w powietrzu atmosferycznym na inne komponenty środowiska poprzez analizę strumieni napływu tych zanieczyszczeń.

Opis:
Air-dried samples of glacial till were polluted in the laboratory with petrol and diesel oil. A comparative analysis of natural and contaminated material was made on the basis of mercury porosimetry measurements. The investigation revealed relatively slight changes in the pore space of the polluted samples, which were as sociated with adsorption of hydrocarbons onto the soil particles rather than with microstructural change. Introduction of non-polar organic fluid into soil pores did not cause rearrangement of the natural soil structure. Due to the initial air-dried state of the soil material, these findings pertain to unsaturated soils only. These results contribute to the crucial, but still poorly recognized problem of the engineering geology properties of organic contaminated soils.

Given the imminent deterioration of environmental quality, the accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soil is one of the main concerns worldwide. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the adsorption potential of mercury and zinc by Sphagneticola trilobata. After 60 days, the distribution of heavy metals in the roots and the leaves of the plants was determined. As a result, the plant adsorbed mercury between 43.49 and 59.22%, and zinc between 32.68 and 64.37%. According to the bioconcentration and translocation factors of Sphagneticola trilobata obtained in the present work, the phytostabilizing capacity of mercury and zinc is like Eichhornia crassipes and Sorghum bicolor.

The mercury-containing tailing waste from public gold mines in Indonesia is generally deposited on soil without treatment. This research aimed at determining the amount and composition of mercury species in the tailing, and testing the effect of sulfur and sulfide on mercury stabilization. Samples were collected from a tailing pile at different depths in a public gold mine in Kulon Progo, Indonesia. The samples were characterized according to the mercury concentrations and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test. Mercury speciation was carried out using nitrogen gas flow into tailing samples, which were placed in three test tubes. The released mercuric species was entrapped in KCl and KmnO4 solutions. The mercury stabilization was carried out using sulfur and sodium sulfide. TCLP test was performed to the stabilization products. The mercury concentrations were measured using a mercury analyzer. The results showed that the mercury in the tailings were dominated by elemental Hgo, the concentrations of which in the tailing piles of 30, 60, and 90 cm depths were 74.7%, 71.6%, and 76.5% respectively. Those of ionic Hg2+ form were 25.3%, 28.4%, and 23.5%, respectively. Additions of sulfur powder and sodium sulfide solution produced stable black-colored mercury sulfide. When compared to sulfide, sulfur was more recommended for stabilizing mercury in the tailing waste.

In ceramic forming techniques high particles packing can provide better properties of the final ceramic products. The high quality of the material coupled with the shape complexity of the ceramic product is still challenging. The aim of this work was the optimization and preparation of the ceramic samples based on two alumina powders of different particle size (AA05: 0.5 μm and TM-DAR: 0.15 μm). Firstly, ceramic suspensions of 50 vol.% solid loading and the volumetric ratio of AA05 to TM-DAR 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, respectively have been prepared. The 2-carboxyethyl acrylate was applied as the new monomer limiting the negative effect of oxygen inhibition. Additionally, the cold isostatic pressing (CIP) was used in order to increase relative density of green bodies. The results of presented research have shown that samples with the ratio of AA05 to TM-DAR 2:1 were characterized by the highest green density (62%). Moreover, CIP process proved to be effective and increased the density of green bodies from 62% to 67%. The pore size distribution of the green bodies has been measured. Samples were sintered at different conditions (1400°C, 1450°C and 1500°C for 1h and 1300°C, 1400°C, 1450°C and 1500°C for 5h).

Introduction. Mercury release in the environment is mainly the result of human activity, particularly from coal-fired power stations, residential heating systems, waste incinerators, and as a result of mining for mercury, gold and other metals, which have led to widespread global mercury pollution. Excessive exposure to mercury is associated with a wide range of adverse health effects, including damage to the central nervous system, digestive and immune systems, and to lungs, kidneys, skin and eyes. Objective. The main aim of the study is to summarize the selected mercury sources in the environment of the Slovak Republic, regarding waste incinerators, landfill waste, crematoria, chemical plants, rivers and soils. Brief description of state of knowledge. Although the neurologic symptoms of Minamata disease were identified sufficiently for specialists to classify mercury as the causative agent, the acceptance of mercury ́s environmental impacts will require several decades of research. Several new issues have arisen – the need for energy conservation leads to the use of fluorescent lighting, which contain mercury; emissions driven by increases in coal combustion, incineration and economic development have sent more mercury into the air, soil and water. Conclusions. Mercury is toxic to human health, posing a particular threat to the development of the child in utero and early in life. The systematic analytical controls of contaminants in water, soil and air are important. The installation of modern cleaning technologies to comply with the maximum emission level can substantially minimized the environmental impact of incinerators. Since human cremation is also an increasing practice, further research on mercury emissions is necessary.

Several mineralogically, chemically and texturally diverse minerals and waste materials were selected for the testing of elemental mercury capture in exhaust gas, namely tyre char resulting from the burning of pyrolytic rubber tyres, class C fly ash, mesoporous material type MCM-41 and glauconite. Each material's mineralogical, chemical and textural characteristics were explored. In order to conduct experiments in conditions similar to those during the contact of sorbent with real coal exhaust fumes at a temperature of about 110-120°C, the experiments were carried out using a test device consisting of a furnace for burning powdered coals, a thermostatic cage for sorbent reactors and mercury gas analysers, which are able to measure and compare the effects of individual sorbents with exhaust gas. The study found that the best results for mercury sorption in the exhaust atmosphere were obtained for class C ash resulting from brown coal combustion.

In this paper, we describe the characterization and application of adsorbent derived from the pyrolysis of cocoa shells, which is a natural source of adsorbent materials. The adsorbent that was used in this experiment is an environmentally friendly adsorbent that was prepared by the pyrolysis of cocoa shells. For 1.5 hours, the pyrolysis process was carried out at temperatures ranging from 300 to 380 °C. The adsorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and analysis with an X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzer. Water-ash content and iodine absorption capacity were also determined in accordance with SNI 06-3730-1995. At a contact time of 90 minutes, the adsorption capacity of mercury ions was found to be 0.106 mg/gram. In this study, the adsorption of mercury ions with the adsorbent followed pseudo-second-order models with an R2 value of 0.9929.

Introduction and Objective. Contamination of soil by mercury poses several risks to human health through consumption of fruits and vegetables. In Slovakia, a high concentration of mercury is found in the soil of the Central Spiš region. The objective of the study is to measure the mercury concentrations in the parts of selected plant species and trees growing within 100 meters of a former ore processing facility. Materials and Method. A total of 24 samples of plants, 20 samples of parts of needle-leaved trees and 9 samples of parts of broad-leaved trees were collected from soils with a high concentration of mercury. The concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry in different parts of the plants: leaves – 18 species, roots – 15 species, stems – 11 species, flowers – 7 species), and different parts of trees (crust – 8 species, branches – 8 species, needles – 5 species, cones – 5 species, leaves – 3 species). Results. The concentrations of mercury in the soils taken at a depth of 0.25 m exceeded the maximum allowed levels more than 50-times. Potatoes, parsley and carrots from these soils exceeded the maximum allowed mercury levels 6-times, 5-times and twice, respectively. The average concentrations of mercury in the roots of 2-year onions exceeded the limit more than 50-times. The flowers of cornflower contain 18.20 mg. kg-1, leaves of dandelion 10.61 mg. kg-1 and roots of plantain 6.80 mg. kg-1 of mercury. Regarding trees, the highest concentrations were found in the branches of juniper and leaves of aspen – more than 1 mg. kg-1. Conclusions. The systematic monitoring of mercury is still very important, since it was found that the end of ore processing does not solve the issue of contamination in the Central Spiš region. Therefore, the consumption of fruits and vegetables from the areas of former ore processing facilities is not recommended.

Currently, much attention is paid to the search for the etiology of many eye diseases. It has been shown that environmental pollution with heavy metals (cadmium, lead, mercury) is of significant importance. One of these diseases is cataract, i.e. clouding of the lens of the eye. It turns out that heavy metals are deposited in the tissues of the eyes, damaging them and accelerating the disease. This work is aimed at presenting the problem of the influence of heavy metals on cataracts. The study compares the concentration of heavy metals between the control group (81 healthy volunteers) and the group of cataract patients (72 sick). Plasma was used in the research and the ICP-MS method was used.

The results were compared for reference with the region of Zgorzelec, which is situated outside the range of emission and with the results of tests conducted by other authors. The tests did not show a statistically significant increase in the mercury level in arable land from the range of influence of the Coal Mine and Power Plant Turów, neither in comparison to soils from Zgorzelec region. It is noticeable that the maximum level of mercury in the analysed area was nearly twice as high as in the values obtained in soils from industrial area in Opole and 25 times lower than the maximum mercury level found in the soils of Jelenia Góra District. On the other hand, tests of aluminium content showed a significant, nearly 3 times higher level of this metal in the range of direct influence of the Coal Mine and Power Plant Turów in comparison with the Zgorzelec region. The noted values were higher than in soils from industrial area in Opole.

Opis:
Diverse forms of mercury (Hg) have various effects on animals and humans because of a variety of routes of administration. Inorganic mercury (iHg) binds to thiol groups of proteins and enzymes in one’s body or is methylated by microorganisms. Organic form of Hg, contrary to the iHg, is more stable but may be demethylated to Hg2+ in the tissue of intestinal flora. Selenium (Se) also occurs in a variety of chemical forms in one’s body but both of these elements behave very differently from one another. Mercury binding to selenide or Se-containing ligands is a primary molecular mechanism that reduces toxicity of Hg. Complexes formed in such a way are irreversible, and thus, biologically inactive. Se deficiency in a human body may impair normal synthesis of selenoproteins and its expression because expression of mRNA may be potentially regulated by the Se status. This paper provides a comprehensive review concerning Hg–Se reciprocal action as a potential mechanism of protective action of Se against Hg toxicity as well as a potential detoxification mechanism. Although interactions between Hg–Se have been presented in numerous studies concerning animals and humans, we have focused mainly on animal models so as to understand molecular mechanisms responsible for antagonism better. The review also investigates what conclusions have been drawn by researchers with respect to the chemical species of Se and Hg (and their relationship) in biological systems as well as genetic variations and expression and/or activity of selenoproteins related to the thioredoxin (thioredoxin Trx/TrxR) system and glutathione metabolism.

The concentration of mercury (Hg) in fish species has direct consequences to health of man and ecosystem. Thus, in this paper, the accumulation of Hg in gills, liver, and muscle of the two fish species (Whipfin silver biddy - Gerres filamentosus and Flathead grey mullet - Mugil cephalus) were measured by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry. The fish specimens were collected from local markets and direct fishing with the help of fishermen over the period from July to September 2017 in coastal Vietnam. Differences in the total Hg were found both between two species and organs. The concentration of Hg in all organs investigated of Whipfin silver biddy was higher than of Flathead grey mullet (p < 0.05). The content of Hg in the muscles of Whipfin silver biddy was higher than in liver and gills (p < 0.05), 0.460, 0.245, 0.077 µg g-1 w.w., respectively. Liver of Flathead grey mullet had more Hg accumulated than muscle and gills (0.195, 0.097, 0.046 µg g-1 w.w., respectively). The results revealed that Hg concentrations in Flathead grey mullet did not exceed food fish safety limits established for human consumption while concentration of this toxic element in muscles of Whipin silver biddy almost reached the maximum permissible level.

Obtained result shows that brown coal contains more mercury compared to hard coal (289 ppb and 66 ppb respectively for a polydisperse system). Mercury concentration in ashes is several times higher than for coal which means ash may be a good absorber for mercury. Also, application of oxy-fuel technology results in smaller amount of mercury absorbed in the ash which can be related to higher emission of Hg in the gaseous form.

Opis:
Na terenie Śląska już od końca XVIII wieku rozpoczęto wydobywać i przetwarzać bogactwa naturalne, takie jak węgiel kamienny itp. Niestety, rozwój przemysłu, przy braku świadomości jego oddziaływania na środowisko oraz przy nieumiejętnym zarządzaniu odpadami towarzyszącymi wydobyciu i przeróbce, wpłynął na skażenie środowiska, którego skutki są odczuwane do dziś. Jednym z najbardziej toksycznych pierwiastków chemicznych, stwarzających poważne zagrożenie dla środowiska naturalnego i żywych organizmów, a który występuje w wyniku działań antropogenicznych w większych stężeniach właśnie na terenie Śląska, jest rtęć. Pomimo utrzymującej się tendencji zmniejszania się emisji zanieczyszczeń powietrza z zakładów szczególnie uciążliwych, takich jak zakłady energetyki zawodowej, województwo śląskie w dalszym ciągu zajmuje czołowe miejsce pod względem emitowanych do atmosfery pyłów i gazów, a w tym rtęci. Jako, że zanieczyszczenie rtęcią, stale emitowaną do gleb, wód i powietrza, ma bezpośredni wpływ na jakość życia ludzi i zwierząt, należy w sposób szczególny postępować z nią podczas całego „cyklu życia” tego pierwiastka.
Mining and processing of the different natural resources like the coal has been started in the end of 18th century. Unfortunately, industry development without knowledge about its influence on the environment has been caused pollution on the environment. Unskillful after-processing waste management has been responsible for environment condition going worse, too. Results of these activities are present until now. Mercury is one of the most toxic chemical element which is very dangerous for natural environment and living organisms. Concentration of mercury from anthropogenic activity is especially high in the Silesian region, despite the tendency to decrease gases emission from the active heat and power stations. Silesian Voivodeship is still on the top of the list of voivodeships emitting toxic gases with mercury. Because mercury from air, soil and water has a negative effect on the human and animals life quality, we must to proceed with it a special way during its whole life cycle.

Opis:
Na skutek działalności człowieka do atmosfery emitowanych jest wiele różnych substancji chemicznych, lecz tylko niektóre, z uwagi na ich uciążliwość i toksyczność, są monitorowane w powietrzu. Do takich zalicza się między innymi pyły, tlenki węgla, tlenki siarki i tlenki azotu. Rtęć w formie gazowej zaliczana jest do substancji, dla której w przyszłości planowane jest wprowadzenie systematycznego monitoringu, głównie dla oceny efektywności pomiarów kontrolnych jej emisji. W publikacji przedstawiono wyniki pomiarów stężenia par rtęci w powietrzu w centrum Katowic, w celu rozpoznania poziomu zanieczyszczenia powietrza tym metalem oraz porównania wyników badań z wynikami z poprzednich lat. Słowa kluczowe: pary rtęci, stężenie par rtęci w Katowicach, zanieczyszczenie
Many of chemicals are emitted to the atmosphere due to antropogenic activity, while only a few are monitored regularly because of their nuisance and toxicity. Particulate matter, carbon oxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxides are included to these species. Mercury vapor is a form of mercury it is planned to begin continuous monitoring. It may provide important information especially on the effectiveness of emission control measures. The aim of this study is presentation of the results of mercury vapor measurements in Katowice for the assessment of contamination by this metal and comparing to the results from previous years.

Opis:
In this study, the total mercury concentration was determined in the muscles, liver and gills of six fish species (rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Walb., carp Cyprinus carpio L., bream Abramis brama L., perch Perca fluviatilis L., ide Leuciscus idus L. and flounder Platichthys flesus L.). The fish were acquired from October to November 2012. Mercury was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry using thermal decomposition, compounds of mercury and amalgamation. The mercury content in fish organs reached 0.006-0.168 (in mg kgˉ¹ wet weight) in muscles, 0.001-0.027 in gills and 0.003-0.045 in the liver. The muscles of perch and ide had significantly more Hg compared to the other fish’s muscles (P≤0.05). The liver and gills of perch, ide and flounder contained more Hg than the same tissues of the other fish (P≤0.05). Generally, the highest Hg content was determined in muscles (except rainbow trout) (P≤0.05), whereas the lowest Hg content was found in gills (except perch) (P≤0.05). The content of Hg in gills of perch did not differ from the one in the liver (P>0.05). There was a positive correlation between the weight or length of a fish and the Hg concentration in its tissues, except for the length and Hg in the gills of carp. However, a statistically significant positive correlation between the body weight and the Hg levels in fish appeared only in the case of the organs of ide (P≤0.004) and muscles of carp (P≤0.038). The correlation between the factor condition and the content of Hg, albeit positive (0.106 < r < 0.811) except for the organs of flounder, was not statistically significant (P>0.05).

Opis:
W Oddziale Zamiejscowym Instytutu Mechanizacji Budownictwa i Górnictwa Skalnego w Katowicach oraz na Wydziale Energetyki i Paliw Akademii Górniczo-Hutniczej w Krakowie prowadzone są prace nad możliwościami ograniczania zawartości rtęci w produktach handlowych węgla kamiennego poprzez wzbogacanie grawitacyjne surowego urobku węglowego. W krajowych warunkach przemysłowych wzbogacanie grawitacyjne prowadzi się na mokro w cieczach ciężkich zawiesinowych oraz w osadzarkach. Wstępne – pilotowe badania pokazały możliwość usuwania rtęci także metodą suchą przy wykorzystaniu separatorów wibracyjno-powietrznych. Rtęć występuje głównie w pirycie i markasycie, wchodzących w skład substancji mineralnej węgla, ale także w substancji organicznej węgla. Pewne jej ilości znajdują się w warstwach stropowych pokładów węglowych, które podczas eksploatacji trafiają do urobku węglowego. W zależności od rozkładu wymienionych składników we frakcjach gęstościowych zależeć będzie skuteczność usuwania rtęci podczas procesu wzbogacania grawitacyjnego. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań zawartości rtęci i siarki całkowitej w wydzielonych frakcjach gęstościowych węgli pochodzących z czterech kopalń. Zawartości te określano we frakcjach o gęstości: –1,5 g/cm 3 (umownie koncentrat), 1,5–1,8 g/cm 3 (umownie produkt pośredni) oraz +1,8 g/cm 3 (umownie od- pady). Wyniki zestawiono w tabelach 3–5 oraz na rysunkach 1–4. Natomiast na rysunkach 5–8 przedstawiono zależności pomiędzy zawartością rtęci a zawartością siarki całkowitej w badanych próbkach węgla. Przeprowadzone badania, które można nazwać wstępną analizą podatności badanych węgli na wzbogacanie grawitacyjne pokazały, że na drodze suchej separacji przy wykorzystaniu separatorów wibracyjno-powietrznych możliwe będzie usuwanie znacznych ilości rtęci gromadzącej się we frakcjach ciężkich i pośrednich.
Work is being carried out on possibilities of limiting the content of mercury in hard coal products by gravity concentration of run-of-mine coal in the Branch of the Institute of Mechanized Construction and Rock Mining in Katowice and on the Faculty of Energy and Fuels of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow. Under domestic industrial conditions, gravity concentration is carried out with heavy medium liquids and in jigs. Preliminary - pilot studies have shown the possibility of mercury removal also by using the dry deshaling method involving vibratory air separators. Mercury is mainly found in the pyrite and the rubble formed by the mineral carbon, but also in the organic carbon. Some of it is located in layers of coal roof fields, which in the course of their exploitation go to coal. The mercury removal efficiency during the gravity concentration process will depend on the decomposition of the listed components in the density fractions. The paper presents the results of investigations of total mercury and total sulphur content in the separated coal fractions from four mines. These contents were determined in fractions: –1.5 g/cm 3 (conventionally clean coal – concentrate), 1.5–1.8 g/cm 3 (conventionally middlings) and +1.8 g/cm 3 (conventionally rock – waste). The results are summarized in Tables 3–5 and in Charts 1–4. Conversely, graphs 5-8 show the relationship between mercury content and total sulphur content in the tested coal samples. The study, which can be called a preliminary analysis of the susceptibility of the coals to gravity concentration, showed that the dry deshaling method on the vibratory air separators would allow significant amounts of mercury accumulated in the middlings and waste fractions to be removed.

W pracy przedstawiono propozycję wykorzystania paleniska cyklonowego w procesie jego obróbki termicznej na potrzeby procesu uwalniania rtęci. Przedstawiono budowę oraz sposoby pracy paleniska cyklonowego. Omówiono metodykę procesu numerycznego modelowania spalania i zgazowania pyłu węglowego. Uzyskane wyniki wykazały, że poprzez zmianę strumienia paliwa podawanego do paleniska cyklonowego możliwa jest kontrola temperatury oraz stopnia odgazowania paliwa. Dzięki temu istnieje możliwość nagrzewania paliwa do wymaganej temperatury ze względu na zakładany poziom usuwania rtęci z paliwa. Przeprowadzone badania eksperymentalne potwierdziły wyniki obliczeń numerycznych dotyczące nagrzewania paliwa i wykazały możliwość usunięcia 90% rtęci z paliwa. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzono na laboratoryjnym stanowisku pieca obrotowego.
The paper presents the proposal to use the cyclone furnace in the process of heat treatment for the process of the release of mercury. We present the structure and working methods cyclone furnace. Discusses the methodology of the process of numerical modeling of combustion and gasification of coal dust. The results showed that, by changing a fuel stream fed to the cyclone furnace is possible to control the temperature and the degree of degassing of the fuel. This permits heating of the fuel to the desired temperature due to the expected level of mercury removal from the fuel. The conducted experimental studies confirmed the results of numerical calculations on heating fuel and showed the possibility of 90% removal of mercury from the fuel. The results confirmed the laboratory workplace rotary kiln.

Opis:
In the area of Kujawy-Pomerania province in Bielawy town the limestone is exploited which is the main resource in the production process carried out by Lafarge-Cement Plant. The alkaline reaction of emitted dusts caused excessive alkalisation of the surrounding soils which are also simultaneously contaminated by trace metals (including mercury). The aim of the study was to assess the impact of Lafarge-Cement Poland SA Plant ("Kujawy" Bielawy) activity on total content of mercury in arable soils in the vicinity of the plant. As a research material served arable soil gathered at various distances from the plant. Samples were collected from surface (0-20 cm) and subsurface (20-40 cm) horizons. Moreover samples were also collected from two soil profiles classified as Haplic Luyisol (Piechcin) and Haplic Podzol (Krotoszyn). The total content of mercury was determined in solid samples by atomic spectrometry method using AMA 254 mercury analyser. The results were as follows: in the 0-20 cm horizons within the range of 11.20-27.09 (4g o kg-1 and in 20-40 cm horizons - from 11.53 to 26.48 ug o kg-1. In profile samples, the total mercury content was within the range of 3.89-27.15 ug o kg-1. In the Haplic Luvisol the highest total content of Hg was detected at the C horizon, the lowest however at Eet horizon. In the case of the Haplic Podzol, the highest concentration of Hg was found in surface and subsurface horizons. The assessment of the total mercury content in soils surrounding Lafarge-Cement Poland SA Plant, did not confirm the influence of cement dusts on mercury contamination.
Celem podjętych badań była ocena wpływu Zakładów Cementowo-Wapienniczych "Lafarge" Zakład w Bielawach na całkowitą zawartość rtęci w glebach uprawnych w okolicy Zakładów. Materiał badawczy stanowiły próbki gleb uprawnych, zlokalizowane w różnej odległości od Zakładów, które pobrano z dwóch głębokości oraz próbki pochodzące z dwóch profili glebowych, które zaklasyfikowano (wg PTG) jako: glebę płową typową (Piechcin) i bielicową właściwą (Krotoszyn). Całkowitą zawartość rtęci oznaczono metodą spektrometrii atomowej z wykorzystaniem analizatora AMA-254. Badane gleby zaliczono do piasków gliniastych (PN-R-04033). Odczyn gleb był zróżnicowany w zależności od lokalizacji punktu badawczego - pHKcl wahało się od 5,21 do 7,68. Zawartość C-organicznego mieściła się w zakresie 4,1-16,0 g o kg-1. W większości badanych próbek nie stwierdzono obecności CaCO3 z wyjątkiem dwóch punktów badawczych, w których CaCO3 występował w poziomach wierzchnich, odpowiednio 10,2 % i 5,1 % oraz 9,3 % i 1,6 %. Natomiast jedynie w próbkach profilowych z Krotoszyna stwierdzono obecność CaCO3 w wierzchnich poziomach: 5,9 i 5,0 %. Całkowita zawartość Hg w glebach kształtowała się następująco: w poziomach 0-20 cm mieściła się w zakresie 11,20-27,09 ug o kg-1, a w poziomach 20-40 cm - 11,53-26,48 ug o kg-1. W próbkach profilowych, zawartości te wahały się w zakresie 3,89-271,50 ug o kg-1. W większości badanych próbek większe całkowite zawartości Hg występowały w poziomach powierzchniowych, co może wynikać z zaabsorbowania tego metalu przez substancję organiczną i minerały ilaste. Średnia zawartość Hg w badanych glebach mieściła się poniżej zawartości naturalnej tego pierwiastka w glebach Polski, która wynosi 0,05-0,30 mg o kg-1. Ocena całkowitej zawartości Hg w glebach z okolicy Zakładów w Bielawach nie wykazała wpływu pyłów cementowych na zanieczyszczenie rtęcią okolicznych gleb.
