Opis:
Zanieczyszczenie wód powierzchniowych w całym dorzeczu Odry jest postrzegane jako poważny problem, na który znacząco wpływa niewystarczający stopień oczyszczania ścieków w zlewniach cząstkowych w stosunku do dostępnych najnowocześniejszych technologii i celów środowiskowych dyrektywy 2000/60/WE. Do określenia wpływu przemysłowych i komunalnych oczyszczalni ścieków na redukcję odprowadzanych zanieczyszczeń w czeskiej części międzynarodowego dorzecza Odry wykorzystano metodę oceny szarego śladu wodnego. W czeskiej części dorzecza Odry przeanalizowano dane z 391 oczyszczalni ścieków w latach 2004–2018. Uzyskane wyniki pokazują, że oczyszczalnie ścieków zmniejszają nawet o 92% szary ślad wodny, tj. ilość wody potrzebnej do rozcieńczenia zanieczyszczeń odprowadzanych do odbiornika w czeskiej części dorzecza Odry.
Surface water pollution is referred to be a problem in the entire Odra river basin. In sub-basins, an insufficient degree of wastewater treatment has been identified as a major problem – in relation to the best available technologies and environmental objectives of Directive 2000/60/EC. The grey water footprint indicator was used to express the influence of point sources of pollution (industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants) on discharged pollution reduction in the Czech part of the international Odra river basin. The number of 391 records of wastewater treatment plants for the period 2004-2018 was analysed. The results show that the wastewater treatment plants reduce by up to 92% the potential water needs for dilution of pollution discharged into waters in the Czech part of the Odra river basin.

Opis:
The research aimed to use chemical, geochemical, and ecotoxicity indices to assess the heavy metals content in soils with different degrees of exposure to human pressure. The research was conducted in southern Poland, in the Malopolska (Little Poland) province. All metal contents exceeded geochemical background levels. The highest values of the Igeo index were found for cadmium and were 10.05 (grasslands), 9.31 (forest), and 5.54 (arable lands), indicating extreme soil pollution (class 6) with this metal. Mean integrated pollution index (IPI) values, depending on the kind of use, amounted to 3.4 for arable lands, 4.9 for forests, and 6.6 for grasslands. These values are indicative of a high level of soil pollution in arable lands and an extremely high level of soil pollution in grasslands and forests. Depending on the type of soil use, Vibrio fischeri luminescence inhibition was from -33 to 59% (arable lands), from -48 to 78% (grasslands), and from 0 to 88% (forest). Significantly the highest toxicity was found in soils collected from forest grounds.
Celem badań było wykorzystanie wskaźników chemicznych, geochemicznych i ekotoksycznych w ocenie zawartości metali ciężkich w glebach o zróżnicowanym stopniu narażenia na antropopresję. Badania prowadzono na terenie Polski Południowej w województwie Małopolskim. Punkty poboru prób wyznaczono metodą równych kwadratów o boku kwadratu równym 7,5 km przy wykorzystaniu urządzenia GPS (Garmin 62s, dokładność +/- 2 m). Łącznie wyznaczono 76 punktów w których pobrano próby glebowe z poziomu 0-10 cm. Średnia zawartość poszczególnych metali ciężkich w glebach gruntów ornych (GO) wyniosła w kolejności malejącej: 107,52 mg Zn; 44,47 mg Ni; 23,23 mg Pb; 12,30 mg Cu; 1,21 mg Cd . kg-1 s.m. Na użytkach zielonych (UZ) średnia zawartość metali tworzyła szereg malejący (mg . kg-1 s.m): Zn (428,04) > Pb (76,35) > Ni (20,93 mg) > Cu (19,60) > Cd (2,38). W glebach leśnych (L) przeciętna zawartość cynku wyniosła 149,33 mg, ołowiu 97,76 mg, miedzi 13,32 mg, niklu 13,03 mg oraz kadmu 2,18 mg ∙ kg-1 s.m. Spośród badanych metali największe wartości wskaźnika Igeo wykazano dla kadmu: 10,05 (UZ); 9,31 (L); 5,54 (GO), co świadczy o ekstremalnym zanieczyszczeniu (klasa 6) gleb tym pierwiastkiem, niezależnie od rodzaju użytkowania terenu. Średnie wartości zintegrowanego współczynnika zanieczyszczenia wyniosły: 2,8 (GO); 5,3 (L) oraz 6,4 (UZ). Wartości te świadczą o wysokim stopniu zanieczyszczenia gleb na gruntach ornych oraz ekstremalnie wysokim na użytkach zielonych i lasach. Inhibicja luminescencji Vibrio fischeri w zależności od sposobu użytkowania gleb wyniosła od -33 do 59% (GO), od -48 do 78% (UZ) oraz od 0 do 88% (L). Istotnie największą toksycznością charakteryzowały się gleby pobrane z użytków leśnych.

Opis:
Petrikov deposit of potash salt is situated in Gomel oblast of Belarus in the south-east of Pripyat Trough, and consists of Northern and Southern prospects. Underground mining of potash salt will start at the Northern prospect with the area of 166 km2. It is expected that mining will last for about 50-80 years. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was carried out at the stage of designing of Petrikov mining and processing plant. Standard EIA procedure included a set of investigations, including assessment of surface subsidence, assessment of changes in groundwater level, assessment of changes in productivity of forest phytocenoses and crops, and assessment of groundwater pollution due to production of potash fertilizers. Maximum values of possible surface subsidence (up to 2.3 m) will occur within the area, where the surface will be effected by mining of potash layers 1, 2, and 3 of the productive horizon IV-p, using long-pillar mining system. Surface subsidence will influence surface topography, surface and groundwater, landscape structure and land resources. The result of surface subsidence will lead to inundation and swamping of land, as well as to increase in the areas affected by annual floods in the valleys of Pripyat and Bobrik rivers. Surface subsidence will affect the whole area of the prospect within the limits of planned mining fields, except the areas above safety pillars. In the result of raise in groundwater level the area with groundwater depth of more than 2 m will decrease from 69.1% to 17.8%, and the areas with groundwater depth from 3 to 5 m will disappear. The area with groundwater depth less than 1 m will increase from 0.1 % to 34.0 %. Within 19.5% of the area the groundwater level will raise above the surface level (the area of inundation). Surface subsidence and change in groundwater level will cause certain decrease in yields of timber and crops, besides this 25.64 km2 of forest, 0.68 km2 of arable land and 3.24 km2 of meadows will be inundated. In order to prevent inundation within certain areas the protective engineering facilities have been designed, and arrangement of groundwater monitoring wells has been proposed. The protective facilities at solid and liquid sludge dumps are designed to prevent the environment from pollution. Nevertheless, the patterns of possible migration of pollutants in groundwater were assessed in case of accidental discharge of waste.

Opis:
The trees of parks and gardens support many species, the survival of urban-dwelling species mainly bird species. Birds amongst other species provide a wide range of environmental and social functions to cities and urban dwellers. The present study aims to know bird diversity in two parks as bioindicator of automobile air pollution exposure, landscape changes and/or human interactions. The study areas were selected as per heavily-populated neighborhoods, nearby office buildings, nearby roads and continuous vehicular movements, human interactions as visitors, where high levels of human disturbance are common. The study was carried out at 2 sampling stations viz (i) Elliot park and (ii) Agri-horticulture Society. The bird species diversity was studied by qualitative and quantitative assessment. Indices were Species richness, Index of Dominance, Relative abundance, Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index and Evenness Index for birds for all selected sites were calculated using the statistical formulae. The present results as bioindicators bird species clearly indicate that the bird species are very few in numbers in both the parks. When comparison made between both the parks, it was observed less number of bird varieties (16 types) in Elliot park than varieties (9 types) more less in number in Agri-horticulture society. This study is a preliminary assessment of bird diversity but further researches are needed in relation to biochemical and genetic damage study as well as air pollution load by using instruments. In the present study it was concluded that the less numbers of birds and their different diversity indices were found a decreasing trends, though there no attempt has been made on physico-chemical properties of present air pollutants. The less number of varieties of bird species are as tolerant bioindicators, which may be due to the vehicular pollution and/or human interference and/or landscape changes due to nearby neighborhood blocks, office and residential buildings, continuous movement of vehicles etc.

Opis:
In 1970-2000, the state of the natural environment in many regions of Poland was unsatisfactory. This situation has been improving since the integration with the European Union, mainly owing to the reduction of emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides. The present study included three tree species: rowan (Sorbus aucuparia L. em. Hedl.), small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata Mill.), and aspen (Populus tremula L.). The trees grew in a pollution free environment (Huszlew) and in an urban agglomeration (Lublin). The aim of this research was to make comparative observations of the structure of leaves in relation to the content of lead, zinc, copper, nitrogen and sulphur determined in these organs. The N/S ratio in the leaves was accepted as an indicator of proper metabolic processes. Observations of leaves were made with using light microscopy and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. The content of heavy metals in leaves was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) after dry mineralization. Total sulphur was determined by the turbidimetric method, while nitrogen by the Kjeldahl method after mineralization in sulphuric acid. When influenced by polluted air, the epidermis of the examined leaves was composed of smaller cells with higher stomatal density per unit area and had a lower number of open pores compared to the epidermis of the leaves developed in a clean environment. Among the species investigated, aspen was characterized by the highest ability to bioaccumulate heavy metals in its leaves. Among the elements determined only the Zn content exceeded the permissible limit, whereas Pb and Cu were found to occur in the range of values considered to be optimal. The dominant share of lead in suspended dust caused changes in the epidermis of leaves, which led to disorders in plant water relations.

Opis:
The study aims to analyze the measurement data of PM10 particulate matter in the Krakow agglomeration. It develops a model of the backward trajectory of air masses to determine whether and to what extent natural phenomena, such as forest fires outside Poland, affect the level of air pollution. The article describes the process of pollutant dispersion in the Earth’s atmosphere and the principles of air monitoring in the Krakow agglomeration. The study uses 2022 measurement data from ten monitoring stations of the Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection in the Krakow agglomeration. Two periods of increased PM10 particulate matter were selected. On the basis of the HYSPLIT software, which uses backward air trajectories, the influx of transboundary pollution was simulated. Then, by analyzing the FIRMS fire information system, an attempt was made to document that the pollution sources considered were of natural origin and that human activity did not in any way determine the emissions and their magnitude.
Celem badań była analiza danych pomiarowych pyłów zawieszonych PM10 na terenie aglomeracji krakowskiej oraz wykonanie modelu trajektorii wstecznych mas powietrza w celu określenia, czy i w jakim stopniu zjawiska naturalne, takie jak pożary lasów poza granicami Polski, wpływają na stopień zanieczyszczenia powietrza. W artykule opisano proces dyspersji zanieczyszczeń w atmosferze ziemskiej oraz zasady monitoringu powietrza w aglomeracji krakowskiej. Do opracowania posłużono się danymi pomiarowymi z 2022 r. z dziesięciu stacji monitoringu Głównego Inspektoratu Ochrony Środowiska, znajdujących się na terenie aglomeracji krakowskiej, gdzie wytypowano dwa epizody zwiększonego stopnia zanieczyszczenia pyłami zawieszonymi PM10. Bazując na oprogramowaniu HYSPLIT, który wykorzystuje wsteczne trajektorie powietrza, przeprowadzono symulację napływu zanieczyszczeń transgranicznych. Następnie analizując system informacji o pożarach FIRMS, podjęto się próby udokumentowania, iż uwzględnione źródła zanieczyszczeń miały pochodzenie naturalne, a działalność człowieka w żaden sposób nie decydowała o emisji i jej wielkości.

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

Opis:
A conceptual model for integrated river pollution assessment is proposed. Integral assessment of the trophic pollution of the transboundary Mesta River has been made for the initial (background) and final (reference) point of the Bulgarian section by means of some basic indicators. A time period characterizing the economic activity in the country during the transition to market economy has been considered for evaluation of the indicators. The dynamics of the indicators: BOD5, nitrates(V), nitrates(IH), integral index for the trophic pollution level, average annual water amount and biotic index has been analyzed. The integral index is based on the organic and nutrients loading suspended and dissolved substances. Long-term trends seasonal pattern and data set structures are studied by the use of statistical analysis. A trend towards reduction of the indicator values has been identified for background and reference point during the considered period (1989-1995). Only the nitrate(V) content in the background point exhibits a trend towards increasing the values due to natural processes in the catchment. On the basis of the retrospective analysis the conclusion can be drawn that the water quality needs the normative requirements of the river category in Bułgaria.
Zaproponowano koncepcję modelu zintegrowanej oceny zanieczyszczenia rzeki. Dokonano całościowej oceny troficznego zanieczyszczenia transgranicznej rzeki Mesty na podstawie wartości podstawowych wskaźników zmierzonych w początkowym (tło) i końcowym (referencyjnym) bułgarskim odcinku rzeki. Dokonując ocen wskaźników, uwzględniono zmiany gospodarcze zachodzące w kraju, w tym przejście do gospodarki rynkowej. Analizowano wartości takich wskaźników, jak: BZT5, stężenie azotanów(V), stężenie azotanów(III), całkowity wskaźnik zanieczyszczeń troficznych, średni roczny przepływ wody i wartości indeksu biotycznego. Całkowity wskaźnik uwzględnia ładunek organicznych i zawieszonych składników pokarmowych oraz substancje rozpuszczone. Dokonano analizy statystycznej długoterminowych trendów sezonowych i struktury rozpatrywanych zbiorów danych. W badanym okresie (1989-1995) zaobserwowano tendencję w kierunku zmniejszenia się wartości wskaźników w punkcie tła i punkcie odniesienia. Tylko azotany(V) w punkcie tła w zlewni wykazują tendencję do wzrostu wartości w wyniku naturalnych procesów. Na podstawie analizy retrospektywnej można stwierdzić, że jakość wody mieści się w normatywnych wymogach dla rzek w Bułgarii.

ObjectivesThe objective of this research is to determine the change in outdoor air quality during the COVID‑19 related state of emergency resulting in a lockdown and the potential health benefits for the urban population.Material and MethodsDuring 53 days of the COVID‑19 related state of emergency with a lockdown (March 15–May 6, 2020) in the Republic of Serbia, as well as in the corresponding periods of 2018 and 2019, data on the daily sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ground-level ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) concentrations were analyzed. The total mortality data were analyzed to estimate the impact of the COVID‑19 related lockdown measures on the burden of health in a given population, attributed to the outdoor air quality in the City of Novi Sad, using AirQ+ software.ResultsThe average daily concentrations of PM2.5, NO2, PM10 and SO2 were reduced by 35%, 34%, 23% and 18%, respectively. In contrast, the average daily concentration of O3 increased by 8%, even if the primary precursors were reducing, thus representing a challenge for air quality management. In the City of Novi Sad, a reduction in the average daily PM2.5 concentration of 11.23 μg/m³ was significant, which resulted in a quantified number of avoided deaths.ConclusionsAir pollution in the City of Novi Sad had a chance to be improved due to some preventive measures related to the infectious disease (the COVID‑19 related lockdown), which in turn was the mitigation measure to air pollution with positive public health effects. The confirmed positive effects of the improved air quality on public health could also include raising collective resistance to mass non-communicable and infectious diseases such as COVID‑19 and reducing economic costs.

Opis:
Purpose: Water is vital for the sustenance of every life form. Urbanization, growing population and industrial development has led to exploitation of water resources globally. This study assesses quality of water resources of Mohammedia prefecture. Design/methodology/approach: The water quality analysis was carried out based on physio-chemical and heavy metal concentrations. The physio-chemical analysis comprised of status of concentration, overall quality and water pollution index evaluation. The heavy metal evaluation consisted of Ecological Risk Index, non-carcinogenic risk and carcinogenic risk assessment. Findings: The landfill near Ben Nfifikh River reported insignificant (WPI<1) – low level of pollution (>1≤1.5) for surface and groundwater points. However, the groundwater for Zenata region was found to pose both carcinogenic (CRt > 0.0001, range 0.4-35.31) and non-carcinogenic risks (HQ>1, range 6 -34) of higher degree rendering it unfit for human consumption. Hence, this study concludes that groundwater resources should not as water supply; instead, Oud El Maleh River can serve as surface water source for meeting requirements of Zenata region. Research limitations/implications: The data obtained can be categorized as landfill area near river Nfifikh and landfill area near river El Maleh. Both areas have been investigated for groundwater and surface water quality assessment. Practical implications: This study demonstrates the need to study the characteristics of groundwater (depth, flow rate, water renewal, etc.) before arranging a waste dump. This problem is especially relevant for arid countries, since residents experience a shortage of water, as well as a lack of rainfall provides a weak renewal of groundwater, which can contribute to the accumulation of a higher concentration of carcinogens in groundwater and provide a high risk to public health. If policymakers in arid countries and decision-makers have effective water quality maps, then the country can be more efficiently managed water resources without risking the population. Originality/value: The current study is planned as a multi-stage, each of which is supposed to conduct field studies of groundwater and surface water quality with appropriate parameters, analysis of institutional reports and related scientific studies in order to create an effective water quality map for rational water use.

Opis:
The river Nile is a dominating physical feature of the north- eastern part of the African continent, covering areas exhibiting varieties and contrasts in topography, climate vegetation and people. So, in this study, we estimated the contamination of the Nile sediment with some major and trace heavy metals in core samples which can cause some undesirable health effects. Concentrations of all elements shows that the maximum enrichment is found in the top subsamples, while the most elements shows low contents in the lower layer reflecting the impact of human activity on the sediment contents. Different normalizing methods were used, i.e. geoaccumulation (Igeo) and enrichment factor (EF), for the influence of the natural variability in sediment mineralogy and to assess whether the concentrations observed in surface sediment represent background or contaminated levels. The study has also shown the importance of different sediment characteristics in spatial distribution of heavy metals in the sediments of river Nile. To protect the ecological system of river Nile watershed, industrial mining and agricultural activities along river stream should to be strictly regulated.

Opis:
Risks in the maritime domain have various sources, of which the transportation of oil and other noxious products is one of key concern to industry and public stakeholders. Operational or accidental releases of oil or other pollutants from ships or offshore facilities into the marine environment can have disastrous effects on the marine ecosystems, while also leading to very significant economical losses. Therefore, national states have implemented various mechanisms for preventing and responding to pollution in the maritime domain, with activities which are often embedded in regional cooperation frameworks clustered around certain sea areas. To support collaborative, harmonized, and risk-informed oil spill Pollution Preparedness and Response (PPR) planning for response authorities, the Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM), together with its research partners, and with extensive end-user and stakeholder inputs, have developed the OpenRisk Toolbox. This toolbox includes several risk assessment tools and techniques, which can assist in providing answers to a range of PPR risk management questions in a range of organizational contexts. To better understand and ensure the applicability and usefulness of the OpenRisk Toolbox, a workshop was organized where some of these tools were tested. Selected end user and stakeholder views on the perceived usefulness of the tools were collected and analyzed. Another workshop focused on further development needs to implement the tools in organizational practices. This paper first presents the OpenRisk Toolbox, then describes the settings of the workshops. Finally, a summary of the end-user and stakeholder views on the tested tools, and on future development needs, is given.

Opis:
The paper presents an attempt to assessment of losses due to oil spills caused by ships collisions in the Southern Baltic Sea area. To assess the losses the data from two models were used. First of them is simulation model of ships collision with consideration of oil spills developed and the second is the model of oil spill cleanup cost is applied without consideration of environmental conditions influence.

Opis:
The following article is an analysis of designed processes of the life cycle of the most popular fuel for Diesel engines: diesel oil. This fuel is produced from petroleum, which is a non-renewable source of energy. Analysis was carried out with the assumptions of Life Cycle Assessment, which is a tool to test the environmental impact of the product. The life cycle of diesel was divided into five unit processes: petroleum extraction, transport of petroleum to the refinery, refining petroleum to diesel, transport of diesel to the recipient and utilization of delivered fuel by transport company. For every process the energy consumption and emission of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulphursulphur oxides was calculated, with assumption of probable data, that could occur in real processes. The analysis has shown, that the process of refining petroleum is highly pollution-intensive. Also the combustion of diesel generates a significant amount of pollutants’ emission, which is why it is necessary to develop technologies that could contribute to the reduction of emission.
