Introduction and objective. Newborn babies staying on hospital wards are likely to be colonized by microorganisms, including potentially pathogenic fungi. The aim of the study was to assess the mycological purity of hospital wards and medical equipment utilized in the treatment and nursing of newborns. Materials and method. The study was conducted in Neonatal High Dependency Units (NHDU) and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). 539 samples were collected from 24 different sources, 130 from ward furnishings and 289 from medical equipment. The study was carried out following the microbiology research methods for sample collection. Subsequently, the samples (swabs, water from incubators, washings from respirator tubes and nasal cannulas (nCPAP)) were cultivated on Sabouraud agar plates. The stamps were collected with the application of Count-Tact method. The samples were incubated at the temperature of 25+/-2oC and the number of fungi assessed (cfu/cm-2 of the surface area). The species were identified based on their morphological and biochemical features. Results. Fungal growth was observed on 60% of samples collected from ward furnishings and 7% of samples collected from medical equipment. The average number of cfu/cm-2 ranged between 0–8.84 in the case of ward furnishings and between 0–1.22 cfu/cm-2 in the case of medical equipment. In 180 samples collected from the material which had direct contact with newborns no fungal growth was observed. Conclusions. The furnishings of the wards on which newborns were treated and nursed were contaminated with fungi to an extent which did not pose a threat to the life and health of the newborns. Medical equipment (respirators, incubators, nCPAP cannulas and masks) which came into direct contact with newborns was free from fungi.

Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of a fattening season on the level of airborne chemical and microbial pollutants in the pig fattening house. Materials and method. Evaluation of the air composition as well as the microbiological air quality were made during 2 series, i.e. in the summer and winter period of fattening. Airborne gaseous pollutants were analyzed by gas (organic compounds) and liquid (inorganic compounds) chromatography methods. Air microbial contamination was determined in compliance with the Polish Standard PN-EN 13098:2007. Results. The air/gas composition in the pig unit showed that irrespective of the fattening season, the level of determined pollutants – especially ammonia, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including methanethiol and total dust – could have an adverse effect on the health of swine facility workers. The investigated pig building was found to be a source of chemical pollutants as well as biological agents. The total bacterial count in 1 m3 of air was 3.6×106 and 4.6×106 cfu, during the winter and summer periods of fattening, respectively. Gram-positive cocci predominated in both seasons. In the winter, fungi of the Trichoderma genus were represented equally often. In the summer period, up to 90% of the isolated fungus was Aspergillus spp. Conclusions. Workers engaged in swine rearing and production are occupationally exposed not only to a high concentration of microbial contamination, but also to irritating and odorogenous volatile compounds. Thus, activities directed at the promotion of health prevention strategies, as well as effective guidelines for safe and hygienic animal housing, should be implemented.

Opis:
One of the methods of obtaining highly accurate and current spatial data about the terrain, as well as objects situated on it, is laser scanning. LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is among the most modern, dynamically developing technologies and reveals in surveying new capabilities that have been unachievable in a traditional way so far. The aim of the publication is to show the possibilities of using data from airborne laser scanning to perform the survey and visualization of the energy network, and also identification of hazards which the present network constitutes for the immediate environment using the TerraSolid software package. The survey was conducted for two independent sections of the power line, on the basis of two different clouds of points obtained from the airborne laser scanning. The first one had a density of 16 points/m2, while the other 22 pts/m2. The project was created in an environment of MicroStation V8i software using special overlays – TerraScan and TerraModeler of Finnish TerraSolid Company. The use of the test clouds of different densities was intended to indicate an optimal density of the cloud of points, which allows carrying out a survey and visualization of the energy network based on data derived from airborne laser scanning. The publication presents on particular examples the procedure of vectorization and visualization of the power line and detection of objects within a dangerous distance from it. The possibility of using applied LIDAR data, meeting the industry requirements, to the survey of power lines has been also confirmed.

Opis:
This paper describes the development phases of a numerical-experimental integrated approach aimed at obtaining sufficiently accurate predictions of the noise field emitted by an external gear pump by means of some vibration measurements on its external casing. Harmonic response methods and vibroacoustic analyses were considered as the main tools of this methodology. FFT acceleration spectra were experimentally acquired only in some positions of a 8.5 cc/rev external gear pump casing for some working conditions and considered as external excitation boundary conditions for a FE quite simplified vibroacoustic model. The emitted noise field was computed considering the pump as a ‘black box’, without taking into account the complex dynamics of the gear tooth meshing process and the consequent fluid pressure and load distribution. Sound power tests, based on sound intensity measurements, as well as sound pressure measurements in some positions around the pump casing were performed for validation purposes. The comparisons between numerical and experimental results confirmed the potentiality of this approach in offering a good compromise between noise prediction accuracy and reduction of experimental and modelling requirements.

Opis:
A new method of asbestos determination for quantitative analysis in environmental samples, e.g., soil and water has been developed. The proposed procedure is inexpensive and relatively fast and easy. It can be used e.g. for quantitative determination of asbestos in the soil after the removal of asbestos containing materials for confirmation of the efficiency of work executed. A Polish Patent Application for the procedure of asbestos determination and an analytical set for asbestos determination have been prepared. The analytical set for asbestos determination is based on optical microscopy with optional phase contrast, and is equipped with a digital camera connected to a computer with the appropriate software. The procedure of determination involves leaching the asbestos fibers from the soil and subsequently investigation of leachate by optical microscope. A surface active agent is used for a better leaching of the asbestos fibers. It has been shown, that application of the surface active agent for analysis improves the accuracy of determination. We would like to briefly present the proposed procedure of asbestos determination and the results of studies on the optimization of this procedure, especially in soils.

Opis:
The main problem in the measurement of airborne sound insulation is the measurement of the sound power radiated by the barrier, in practice performed by measuring the sound pressure level and the acoustic absorption in the receiving room. Large variations of the sound pressure level in a reverberation room indicate the presence of dominating strong standing waves, so that it becomes necessary to install diffusing elements. In ISO 10140, the limits have been defined in which the reverberation time at frequencies at and above 100 Hz should be included. Sometimes, however, in the case of rooms with a large volume, obtaining the required parameters is difficult and sometimes even impossible. It should then be checked whether the measured sound insulation depends on the reverberation time. The paper presents the results of sound insulation measurements at various reverberation time lengths in subsequent stages of diffusing elements installation in the receiving room. An analysis of diffusing materials amount and arrangement influence on the uniformity of the sound pressure level distribution and reverberation time in the room as well as the value of the measured sound insulation was carried out. Uncertainty of sound insulation measurement with partial uncertainties was adopted as a criterion supporting the assessment of the obtained results.

Introduction and objective. The timings of Fraxinus and Betula flowering and pollen release overlap, which may cause increased allergic reactions in sensitive people. The aim of the present study was to characterize Fraxinus pollen seasons in Lublin (central-eastern Poland) and to identify meteorological factors that most determine the occurrence of airborne pollen of this taxon, as well as obtain forecast models for the basic characteristics of the pollen season. Materials and method. The study was conducted in Lublin during the period 2001–2016, employing the volumetric method. The seasons were compared by PCA (Principal Component Analysis). To determine relationships between meteorological conditions and the pattern of pollen seasons, regression analysis was used. Data for the period 2001–2015 were used to create forecast models by applying regression analysis, while the 2016 data served to verify these models. Results. Season end date and seasonal peak date were characterized by the lowest variation. The biggest differences were found for peak value and total annual pollen sum. The average dates of occurrence of ash pollen grains in the air of Lublin were between 13 April 13 – 3 May 3, whereas, on average, the pollen peak date occurred on 23 April. The factor loading values for the PC1 variable indicate that it is most strongly correlated with peak value and total pollen sum, while the PC2 variable correlated with the pollen season start date and season duration (a negative correlation). Regression models were developed for the following pollen season characteristics: season start, end and duration, seasonal peak date, and total annual pollen sum. Conclusions. The fit of the forecast models was at the level of 62–94%. Analysis of the data showed that weather conditions mainly in February were important factors controlling the Fraxinus pollen season.

Opis:
APEX (Airborne Prism EXperiment) is a high spectral and spatial resolution hyperspectral sensor developed by a Swiss-Belgian consortium on behalf of the European Space Agency. Since the acceptance of the instrument in 2010, it has been operated jointly by the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO, Mol, Belgium) and the Remote Sensing Laboratories (RSL, Zurich, Switzerland). During this period, several flight campaigns have been performed across Europe, gathering over 4 Terabytes of raw data. Following radiometric, geometric and atmospheric processing, this data has been provided to a multitude of Belgian and European researchers, institutes and agencies, including the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Facility for Airborne Research (EUFAR) and the Belgian Science Policy Office (BelSPO). The applications of APEX data span a wide range of research topics, e.g. landcover mapping (mountainous, coastal, countryside and urban regions), the assessment of important structural and (bio)physical characteristics of vegetative and non-vegetative species, the tracing of atmospheric gases, and water content analysis (chlorophyll, suspended matter). Recurrent instrument calibration, accurate flight planning and preparation, and experienced pilots and instrument operators are crucial to successful data acquisition campaigns. In this paper, we highlight in detail these practical aspects of a typical APEX data acquisition campaign.

Opis:
The aim of this study was to determine the composition of bacterial and fungal aerosol on the premises of the Municipal Waste Disposal Complex at Zolwin-Wypaleniska near Bydgoszcz and to evaluate the degree of microbiological air pollution at the appointed stands. Microbial concentration in the air was determined at the waste sorting station and in the active sector of the landfill site as well as in the point situated 200 m beyond the facility. It was found that the total number of bacteria in the air ranged from 102 to 104 cfu ź m–3 and many times strong air pollution occurred on the premises of that facility. High concentration level of actinomycetes and indicator bacteria Pseudomonas flourescens contributed also to strong or moderate air pollution at research stands 1 and 2. Potentially pathogenic bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae (such as bacilli of Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli) as well as faecal streptococci occurred in the largest amounts also at stands 1 and 2, and their number reached up to 103 cfu ź m–3. The obtained values show that both the sorting station the active sector of the waste landfill are serious emission sources of dangerous bacterial aerosol. They can pose a health hazard to the workers staying at those workstands. The determined amounts of fungal aerosol prove that it did not pose a microbiological hazard, and the studied air was described as moderately clean throughout the research period, only in the area of the sorting station it was polluted at several times. Among the isolated fungi, species of the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium predominated, as well as Sclerotinia sclerotorum. However, also potentially pathogenic species were detected in the studied air, such as: Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarium, Alternaria alternata etc. Their presence may affect the health of people (workers of the facility and residents of neighbouring areas) and the risk of the environmental pollution, since those species are well-known for their production of mycotoxins and inducing allergic reactions. Based on the registered concentrations of bacteria and fungi at the point 200 m away from the facility, it should be assumed that the studied air was not polluted and bioaerosol transmission from the sources of emission to the surrounding areas did not occur.
Celem pracy było oznaczenie składu bioaerozolu bakteryjnego i grzybowego na terenie Zakładu Unieszkodliwiania Odpadów Komunalnych w Żółwinie-Wypaleniska koło Bydgoszczy oraz ocena stopnia mikrobiologicznego zanieczyszczenia powietrza na wyznaczonych stanowiskach. Koncentrację mikroorganizmów w powietrzu określano na terenie sortowni odpadów i w sektorze czynnym składowiska oraz w punkcie położonym 200 m poza obiektem. Stwierdzono, że liczba bakterii ogółem w powietrzu kształtowała się od 102 do 104 jtk ź m-3 i doszło wielokrotnie do silnego zanieczyszczenia powietrza na terenie zakładu. Wysoki poziom koncentracji promieniowców i bakterii wskaźnikowych Pseudomonas fluorescens przyczynił się także do silnego lub średniego zanieczyszczenie powietrza na 1 i 2 stanowisku badawczym. Potencjalnie chorobotwórcze bakterie z rodziny Enterobacteriaceae (m.in. pałeczki Salmonella sp. i Escherichia coli) oraz paciorkowce kałowe w największych ilościach występowały również na stanowisku 1 i 2, a ich liczba dochodziła do 103 jtk ź m-3. Uzyskane wartości wskazują, że zarówno sortownia, jak i sektor czynny składowiska odpadów były poważnymi emitorami niebezpiecznego aerozolu bakteryjnego, zatem stanowić mogą zagrożenie zdrowotne dla pracowników przebywających na tych stanowiskach pracy. Oznaczona ilości aerozolu grzybowego świadczy, że nie stanowił on zagrożenia mikrobiologicznego, a badane powietrze określono jako przeciętnie czyste w całym okresie badawczym. Jedynie na terenie sortowni w kilku terminach doszło do jego skażenia. Wśród wyizolowanych grzybów dominowały gatunki z rodzaju Aspergillus i Penicillium oraz Sclerotinia sclerotorum. Jednakże wykryto w badanym powietrzu również gatunki potencjalnie chorobotwórcze, takie jak: Aspergillus fumigatus Cladosporium herbarium, Alternaria alternata i in. Ich obecność może wpływać na zdrowie ludzi (pracowników zakładu i mieszkańców przyległych terenów) oraz ryzyko skażenia środowiska, bowiem gatunki te znane są z produkcji mykotoksyn oraz wywoływania reakcji alergicznych. Na podstawie zarejestrowanego stężenia bakterii i grzybów w punkcie oddalonym 200 m od zakładu, należy przyjąć, że badane powietrze było niezanieczyszczone i nie doszło do przenoszenia bioaerozolu ze źródeł emisji na okoliczne tereny.

Bioaerosols are particularly sensitive to sterilization processes due to their biological characteristics. Phenomena occurring in the atmosphere have major influence on airborne bacteria and fungi concentration levels. The presented study evaluates the sterilization properties of ambient air temperature and solar radiation on viable bioaerosols concentration levels in outdoor air in Gliwice, Poland. Assigned were the breakpoints indicating limited stimulation properties of the air temperature, which amounted 7.5 °C for bacterial aerosol and 16.5 °C for fungal aerosol. Also revealed was the influence of solar radiation properties on decreasing the bioaerosols concentration levels. Both bacterial and fungal viable aerosol were sensitive to this radiation, although the phenomenon was more effective for airborne bacteria.

Opis:
Emission of airborne sound in the production industry is endangering the employees’ health and is lowering productivity. Circular saw blades in particular cause high sound pressure levels. Therefore, the tool geometry of saw blades should be improved in the sense that the emission of airborne sound is lowered. In this work, the basics for the tool optimization regarding the emission of airborne sound are elaborated. To avoid high costs for various prototypes and experimental investigations, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is used. By this, the effects of the adjustments of the geometry on the fluid mechanics can be researched efficiently. Using the acoustic analogy of Ffowcs-Williams/Hawkings, the results of the numerical flow simulation are converted into the sound pressure level. To validate the calculated results, previously conducted experiments are used for comparison. The calculated results correspond well to the values from the experimental measurements. Hence, it is possible to use the developed method to predict the influence of geometry adjustments on the acoustic behaviour, making the optimization process possible. In an outlook, the concept for an optimization loop is explained, which couples the CFD simulation with a parameterized geometry model and an evaluation algorithm.

Opis:
Hyperspectral imagery originating from airborne sensors is nowadays widely used for the detailed characterization of land surface. The correct mapping of the pixel positions to ground locations largely contributes to the success of the applications. Accurate geometric correction, also referred to as “orthorectification”, is thus an important prerequisite which must be performed prior to using airborne imagery for evaluations like change detection, or mapping or overlaying the imagery with existing data sets or maps. A so-called “ortho-image” provides an accurate representation of the earth’s surface, having been adjusted for lens distortions, camera tilt and topographic relief. In this paper, we describe the different steps in the geometric correction process of APEX hyperspectral data, as applied in the Central Data Processing Center (CDPC) at the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO, Mol, Belgium). APEX ortho-images are generated through direct georeferencing of the raw images, thereby making use of sensor interior and exterior orientation data, boresight calibration data and elevation data.

Opis:
Objectives: The present study was aimed at evaluating microbiological contamination of air in Ciechocinek and Inowrocław – Polish lowland spa towns. Additionally, the impact of open-air inhalatoria on the quality of air was evaluated. Material and Methods: Air samples were collected seasonally in the urban areas, in the recreation areas and in the vicinity of inhalatoria in both towns using impaction. The numbers of mesophilic bacteria, staphylococci, hemolytic bacteria and actinomycetes were determined on media according to the Polish Standard PN-86/Z-04111/02. The number of moulds was determined on media according to the Polish Standard PN-86/Z-04111/03. Results: While the highest numbers of microorganisms were noted at the sites located in the urban areas, the lowest numbers were noted in the vicinity of the open-air inhalatoria. In all the investigated air samples the values of bioaerosol concentrations were below the recommended TLVs (≤ 5000 CFU×m⁻³ for both bacteria and fungi in outdoor environments). Location of the sampling site was invariably a decisive factor in determining the number of microorganisms in the air. Conclusions: The aerosol which is formed in the open-air inhalatoria has a positive influence on microbiological air quality. Owing to a unique microclimate and low air contamination, Ciechocinek and Inowrocław comply with all necessary requirements set for health resorts specializing in treating upper respiratory tract infections.

Opis:
In the article the requirements to system for airborne gravimetry are formulated. A system for airborne gravimetry must consist of fivefunctional subsystems for 1) specific force measurement, 2) geometric stabilization, 3) terrestrial navigation, 4) altimetry, and 5) computation. The general error of measurements of gravitational anomalies does not exceed 10 mgal. The accuracy requirement to main bodies of the block diagram of system for airborne gravimetry are determined based on analysis of errors of measurements.

Opis:
Rapid socio-economic development and urbanization have contributed to the serious deterioration of air quality in many world cities including Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. Through a data-driven analysis of regulatory intervention, this study attempts to examine the effectiveness of air pollution control regulations that have been implemented in Kosovo between 2010–2021. Our results show that the measures enforced during this 10-year period in Kosovo, and particularly in the capital city, have resulted in the reduction of pollution. The applied methods for this research are the standard ones of the Instituti Hidrometeorologjik i Kosovës (Hydrometeorological Institute of Kosovo). All results showed a decrease of each pollutant over the ten years. These changes strongly indicated that the origin of the pollution was traffic and anthropogenic activity, while the power plant was considered to be a less significant source of pollution. The basic pollutants of air quality in Pristina are particulate matters (PM2.5 and PM10), ozone and nitrogen oxide.

Opis:
Introduction. Although airborne fungal diversity in tropical countries is known to be considerable, aerobiological research to-date has identified only a part of the fungal mycobiota that may have an impact both on human health and on crops. Previous studies in Havana city identified only 30 genera and 5 spore types; therefore,new research is required in these latitudes. This study sought to investigate airborne spore levels in Havana, with a view to learning more about local fungal diversity and assessing its influence in quantitative terms. Materials and method. A Hirst type volumetric sampler was located on the rooftop of a building 35 meters above ground level, in a busy area of the city. Sampling was carried out continuously (operating 24hours/day), at 10 L per minute during the year 2015. The fungal spores were collected on a Melinex tape coated with a 2% silicone solution. The results were expressed as spores per cubic meter (spores/m3) of air when to referring to daily values, and spores count if referring to annual value. Results. Fourteen new genera were identified in the course of volumetric sampling: six produce ascospores and eight conidia. Morphobiometric characteristics were noted for all genera, and airborne concentrations were calculated. These genera accounted for 56.4% of relative fungal frequency over the study year. Conclusions. Many airbone fungi are primary causes of both respiratory disease and crop damage. These new findings constitute a major contribution to Cuba’s aerobiological database.

Opis:
A number of cities in Poland have been coping with the problem of air pollution levels exceeding the allowable limits, with PM10 airborne particulate considered one of the most hazardous factors for human health. Poland ranks high among European countries with some of the highest levels of airborne particulate pollution, and the Polish cities regularly place high in the EU ranking of those with the highest PM levels (and benzo(a)pyrene, a toxic airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs). Airborne PM10 concentration levels greatly depend on the prevailing atmospheric and topographic conditions. Temperature inversion represents one of the unfavorable weather conditions and this article attempts to study the effect of thermal conditions prevailing in the Żywiec Basin on airborne PM10 particulate concentrations in immissions. The 2016–2021 winter (heating) seasons were analyzed for pollution emissions, especially those related to heating by the municipal sector and classified as “low emissions”, i.e. emissions from sources not higher than 40 meters. An analysis of the 2016–2021 heating seasons showed the air temperature exerted a significant effect on combustion processes (low emissions) within the Żywiec Basin. The difference between airborne PM10 particulate levels in immissions at temperatures both above and below zero ranged from 86 μg/m3 in the 2016–2017 heating season to 25 μg/m3 in the same period in 2020–2021. Average airborne PM10 particulate concentrations throughout the entire period analyzed stood at 41.3 μg/m3 for the typical temperature distribution in the elevation profile, whereas inversion almost doubled it (72.2 μg/m3).

Opis:
Nail art (creation and decoration of artificial nails) is a growing fashion trend. Proportionally to its popularity, the number of allergic reactions to the materials used has recently increased. We report the case of a nail art operator who developed occupational allergy to acrylates, manifested with the unusual simultaneous presence of asthma and dermatitis. Cutaneous lesions only affected areas not covered by individual protection devices or clothes, even if such areas were not in direct contact with acrylates, suggesting airborne allergic contact dermatitis. While respiratory problems were solved with the correct use of a mask at the workplace, facial dermatitis proved impossible to avoid or control and, for this reason, the patient had to change her work.

Opis:
Alternaria spores are known to be potent aeroallergens and their concentrations in the air are strongly dependent on meteorological factors. There are many articles from different parts of the world about relationships between Alternaria spore count and weather parameters. The aim of the study was to review all available publications about airborne Alternaria spores and compare the results in short, useful form.
W wielu pracach dotyczących badań nad stężeniem zarodników rodzaju Alternaria w powietrzu pojawiały się różnego rodzaju analizy statystyczne opisujące charakter zależności pomiędzy stężeniem spor w powietrzu i czynnikami pogodowymi. W większości przypadków były to proste statystyki opisowe m.in. współczynnik korelacji Spearmana czy analiza regresji wielokrotnej. W ciągu ostatnich kilku lat ukazało się kilka prac z prognostycznymi modelami statystycznymi (Szwecja, Grecja, Polska). Statystycznie istotne, pozytywne korelacje były notowane dla dobowych temperatur maksymalnych i średnich a negatywne dla: wysokości opadów deszczu, ciśnienia atmosferycznego, temperatury punktu rosy i prędkości wiatru. Żaden z autorów nie zanotował istotnej statystycznie korelacji pomiędzy stężeniem zarodników rodzaju Alternaria a temperaturą minimalną. Przy obecnym stanie badań nad relacjami statystycznymi pomiędzy obecnością (stężeniem) zarodników w powietrzu a czynnikami meteorologicznymi warto budować statystyczne modele prognostyczne, które dają bardziej precyzyjne informacje o badanych związkach i znacznie upraszczają prognozowanie sezonów zarodnikowania i konstruowanie kalendarzy dla lekarzy alergologów.
