Opis:
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to detect and analyze phenolic compounds in the surface waters of four urban lakes in Xi’an – Hancheng Lake, Xingqing Lake, Nanhu Lake, and Taohuatan Lake. A total of 5 phenolic compounds were detected from the water samples, with a concentration range of ND-100.32 ng/L, of which bisphenol A (BPA) and nonyl phenol (NP) were the main types of phenolic compounds pollution in the four lakes. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the concentration of phenolic compounds in the lake waters of Xi’an City and the water quality indicators COD, TP, NH3 -N, DO, and pH during the same period. It was found that there was a significant positive relationship between the concentration of BPA and COD, the concentration of estradiol (17-beta-E2), estrone (E1) and TP and TN, the concentration of octylphenol (4-t-OP) and pH. The ecological risk assessment (ERA) shows that the concentration of BPA, 4-t-OP and NP in the lakes is at a medium risk level( is between 0.1–1), and that of E1 is at a high risk level (is greater than 1). Female cells (breast cancer cells) and male germ cells (testis cells) of mice were used as research objects to explore BPA and NP Toxic effect on mouse germ cells. BPA and NP at a concentration of 10-8 mol/L were found to have the most value-inducing effect on MCF-7 breast cancer cells positive for estrogen receptor. Obviously, both BPA and NP can induce the proliferation of testicular Sertoli cells.

Opis:
The year 2022 was marked by economic risks with potentially very sensitive impacts for countries in the Black Sea region. Given the limited capacity of Ukrainian ports, as well as the sanctions imposed on Russia, due to ongoing conflict, it was necessary to identify new destinations capable of taking over the flow of goods that normally went to the countries involved in this conflict. In addition to the risks specific to maritime transport, the risk of armed conflict comes with new challenges that can also materialize in the form of environmental impact. To analyze this potential impact, the study is being focused mainly on the analysis of the pollution risk generated by the emissions caused by the vessels calling the container terminal CSCT, located in Constanța harbor, and the emissions generated by the vehicles moving in the terminal. As estimated from the start all levels of pollution have increased, with the level of CO2 increasing from 11072.7 tons in 2021 to 11915.7 tons in 2022. The NOx emissions have a similar trend, as well as the other emission level measured and calculated.

Opis:
The authors explored the utilization of simulation models as a means to ensure environmental safety, using the industrial hub of Kemerovo as an illustrative example. The article analyzes the factors that have contributed to the deterioration of the environment in the region for decades. It has been established that in terms of the overall percentage distribution of emissions from stationary sources, energy enterprises (73.0%), chemical and petrochemical industries (4.7%), and black metallurgy enterprises (7.8%) are leading in the city of Kemerovo. Simulation modelling has shown that the cause of high concentrations of harmful substances in the atmosphere of Kemerovo is due to the negative factors of industrial and household activities and their impact on environmental safety. High correlation and sensitivity coefficients indicate a lack of new available technologies in the region's industry and transport that could prevent air pollution. The forecasting model has indicated a potential two, three or even greater increase in emissions. For example, in the long-term perspective, by 2063, manufacturing emissions could potentially increase by 35 times, leading to irreversible ecological consequences. Extreme pollution and depletion of natural resources could make living in this region impossible.

Opis:
Środowisko naturalne stale zanieczyszczane jest przez różne substancje. Jednym z typów zanieczyszczeń środowiska naturalnego są farmaceutyki oraz ich metabolity. Ich obecność wykrywana jest w środowisku wodnym oraz glebowym. Ponadto zanieczyszczenie środowiska naturalnego przez farmaceutyki stale się zwiększa, co jest wynikiem rozwijającego się przemysłu farmaceutycznego, a także większego wykorzystania leków w gospodarstwach domowych. Nie bez znaczenia jest także nadużywanie farmaceutyków w rolnictwie, gdzie służą do zwiększenia jakości plonów lub do stymulowania wzrostu zwierząt gospodarczych. Ten nasilający się problem niesie za sobą wiele zagrożeń, zarówno dla ekosystemów, jak i dla zdrowia ludzkiego, bowiem farmaceutyki mogą wtórnie kumulować się w roślinnych i zwierzęcych tkankach, które stanowią źródło pożywienia dla człowieka. Ponadto, obecność tych substancji w środowisku powoduje narastanie zjawiska antybiotykooporności wśród mikroorganizmów w nim bytujących. Aby zapobiegać tym negatywnym skutkom zanieczyszczenia środowiska przez leki, należy przede wszystkim zminimalizować ich przedostawanie się do naturalnych ekosystemów. Działania w tym zakresie powinny być wielokierunkowe i obejmować sprawniejsze usuwanie farmaceutyków w procesie oczyszczania ścieków, zmniejszenie ilości farmaceutyków wykorzystywanych w rolnictwie, a także edukację społeczeństwa.
The natural environment is constantly polluted by various substances. One of the types of environmental pollution are pharmaceuticals and their metabolites. Their presence is detected in the water and soil environment. Moreover, pollution of the environment by pharmaceuticals is constantly increasing as a result of the growing pharmaceutical industry as well as the increased use of drugs in households. Another important factor is the abuse of pharmaceuticals in agriculture, where they are used to increase the quality of crops or to stimulate the growth of livestock. This growing problem carries many threats, both for ecosystems and for human health, because pharmaceuticals can accumulate in plant and animal tissues, which are a source of human food. Moreover, the presence of these substances in the environment increases the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance among the microorganisms living in it. In order to prevent these negative effects of environmental pollution from drugs, it is essential to minimize their leakage into natural ecosystems. Activities in this area should be multidirectional and include more efficient removal of pharmaceuticals in the wastewater treatment process, reduction of the amount of pharmaceuticals used in agriculture, and education of the society.

Opis:
A total of 316 soil samples in the An Giang province were collected from the industrial zone (48 samples), mining (40 samples), farming (112 samples), landfills (88 samples) and cemeteries (28 a samples) to analyze toxic elements, including Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd and As. The geoaccumulation index (Igeo), pollutant load index (PLI) and potential ecological risk index (RI) were used to assess pollution levels and ecological risks. The results showed that the concentrations of heavy metals were almost still within the allowable limits of national standards. Cd was not detected. Heavy metals were detected in the soil in the following order: As < Pb < Cu < Zn, mining < industrial < landfill < cultivation < cemetery areas. The heavy metals contributing to soil environmental variability were similarly identified in the cemetery with industry and landfill with farming. The value of Igeo shows that As has a high potential to accumulate in soil in all land uses. The ranges of PLI values presented that the soil in industrial, farming, mining and landfills areas were classified moderate, while the cemetery areas has been rated at a high level. The RI values identified very high, high, and moderate ecological risks for cemetery, industrial and farming land and landfill, mining, respectively. The combination of PLI and RI indices showed that the cemetery areas were at the highest levels of pollution and risk. The results of this study provide scientific information on pollution level and ecological risks in various land use types supporting environmental zoning and managing strategies in the An Giang province.

Opis:
The purpose of this research was to determine the groundwater intrinsic vulnerability to pollution of shallow groundwater in Wielkopolska Province, Poland and to assess the risk of pollution by nitrates. Wielkopolska is known as an area where the problem of water pollution by nitrates has existed for a long time due to intensive agriculture. DRASTIC method and its optimized version as well as four other risk evaluation methods were selected to assess the risk pollution with nitrates. The results of either method did not correlate with nitrate concentrations recorded in the total of 1679 groundwater monitoring points. Therefore a new method of groundwater pollution risk assessment (NV-L) was proposed. The new method is based on optimized results of the DRASTIC system and the L parameter which considers not only land use types, but also the amount of nitrogen loading leached from soil as a result of fertilizer consumption, and from wet deposition. The final results of NV-L method showed that the largest part of the study area is covered by a very low class of pollution risk (30.6%). The high and very high classes occupy 11.6% of the area, mostly in the areas designated until 2012 as the Nitrate Vulnerable Zones. Validation of the results of all methods showed that the other methods than NV-L cannot be used as a basis for reliable assessment of the risk of groundwater pollution by nitrates, as they do not take into account the nitrogen load leached from the soil profile.
Celem badań było określenie podatności wód podziemnych na zanieczyszczenie płytkich wód podziemnych w województwie wielkopolskim oraz ocena ryzyka zanieczyszczenia azotanami. Województwo wielkopolskie uważane jest za obszar, na którym od dawna znany jest problem zanieczyszczenia wód azotanami z powodu intensywnego rolnictwa. Do obliczenia indeksu podatności naturalnej wybrano metodę DRASTIC i jej zoptymalizowaną wersję, natomiast do oceny ryzyka zanieczyszczenia azotanami cztery metody będące modyfikacjami metody DRASTIC. Wynik żadnej z nich nie był skorelowany ze stężeniami azotanów odnotowanymi w 1679 punktach monitoringu wód podziemnych, dlatego zaproponowano nową metodę oceny zagrożenia wód podziemnych NV-L. Metoda opiera się na zoptymalizowanych wynikach systemu DRASTIC i parametrze L, który uwzględnia nie tylko typ użytkowania gruntów, ale także wielkość ładunku azotu, pochodzącego z wymywania z gleby nawozów mineralnych i organicznych oraz z mokrej depozycji w opadach. Wyniki metody NV-L wykazały, że największy obszar objęty jest bardzo niską klasą zagrożenia zanieczyszczeniami (30,6%). Klasa wysoka i bardzo wysoka zajmują 11,6% powierzchni, głównie na obszarach wyznaczanych do 2012 roku jako obszary szczególnie narażone na wymywanie azotu do wód powierzchniowych. Wyniki wskazują, że w procedurach zastosowanych metod oceny podatności brakowało pewnych ważnych informacji. Dlatego ich wyniki należy traktować jako szacunkowe i nie mogą one być wykorzystywane w dalszych analizach jako użyteczne narzędzie ochrony wód podziemnych. Uwzględnienie innych, nowych elementów do oceny podatności wód podziemnych lub ryzyka zanieczyszczenia, może okazać się kluczowym czynnikiem, jak miało to miejsce w przypadku metody NV-L i wykorzystania danych dotyczących ładunku azotu wymywanego z profilu glebowego.

Opis:
The Cisadane River, Tangerang City, is one of the most important rivers in Indonesia. This river provides raw water for Municipal Waterworks (PDAM) of the Tangerang City and Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, but the water quality tends to deteriorate due to pollution. The government has made various efforts to manage the river water quality, but no significant resolution was issued yet. The problem is becoming more complicated due to land-use changes that affect the pollutant load. Therefore, more precise, integrated, and comprehensive management is needed. This study used an approach with various methodologies according to the stages of the research, including; qualitative and quantitative analysis, GIS, statistics, risk management, and System Dynamic. The outcome of this research was the development of the policies in river water quality management, specifically land use manage-ment, separation of drainage channels from domestic sewage channels, enhancement of Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) services coverage, as well as reinforcement of institutional and regulatory aspects, especially in funding commitments.

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 Mio-plio-quaternary aquifer of the Djelfa Syncline is part of a region in Algeria which is characterized by the lack of surface water resources and located in a semi-arid climate. Since alluvial aquifers, and among them our aquifer, are the most vulnerable because of thier direct exposure to the pollution caused by the infiltrated pollutants, this work focused on the assessement of groundwater pollution vulnerability, hazard and risk. Thus, several methods were used; for this purpose, such as the DRASTIC and WQI methods mapped using a GIS. The results obtained clearly show a low to moderate vulnerability. The DRASTIC model and its validation based on the correlation with WQI revealed a low correlation ($WQ_I$vs $D_I$ : 0.221). Since the vulnerability model does not match with the groundwater quality, pollution risk was assessed by combining vulnerabilty and hazard (i.e, water quality). The risk map illustrated three levels ranging from low to high risk. This map should be helpful in decision making and groundwater management through avoiding high risk areas.

Opis:
The aim of the study was to investigate the content of trace elements in deposited particulate matter and to estimate the health risk to Kraków inhabitants, caused by the exposure to heavy metals in particulate matter deposition. The qualitative and quantitative assessments of selected heavy metals in deposited particulate matter have been carried out in the city of Kraków (Małopolska, southern Poland, 5 measuring points) for seven months, between February and September 2017. A comparative study was conducted at the same time in Małopolska (5 measuring points). The deposited particulate matter was collected gravitationally, using measurement plates covered with aluminum foil and paraffin jelly. The largest deposition of particulate matter was found in May and June. The highest amount of deposited particulate matter and metals present in it was determined in Kraków. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) evaluation for non-carcinogenic effect showed low risk for each metal. In the case of lead in particulate matter, the carcinogenic risk value did not reach 10−6 hence this risk is acceptable. The total carcinogenic risk for all routes of exposure to cadmium was higher, indicating the risk of cancer in children and adults, with children more exposed. However, the carcinogenic risk for cadmium was also acceptable. The study showed that the problem of poor air quality concerns not only the city of Kraków, but also the entire Małopolska region. Elevated metal concentrations in particulate matter indicate the need for monitoring it in the air.

Surface sediment quality of potential rivers in Peru was evaluated using indicators of contamination, accumulation and ecological risk of heavy metals and As. Surface sediment samples were collected at 54 sampling sites in the Tishgo and Chia rivers during 2018. The determination of Cu, Pb, Zn and As was performed by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results revealed the decreasing order of the mean concentrations of heavy metals and As in the Chia River of Zn > Cu > As > Pb and Tishgo of Zn > Pb > As > Cu. The PLI for the Tishgo River were greater than one (PLI > 1) denoting the deterioration it has been experiencing. In the Chia River, 60% of the sampling sites indicated no appreciable contamination by these elements (PLI < 1). The Igeo values of As in both rivers showed a state of contamination, from moderately to severely contaminated. In the Tishgo River the potential ecological risk varied from low to moderate and in the Chia River from low to considerable. Finally, this study reveals the applicability of the evaluation indexes of contamination, accumulation and potential ecological risk of toxic metals so that special control measures can be adopted.

Opis:
This study aimed to analyze the heavy metal contamination in sediments and their potential ecological risks. The sediment samples were collected using PVC pipes and grab samplers at nine study sites in Youtefa Bay, namely five sites in the mangrove ecosystem, two sites in the estuary, and two sites in the middle of the bay. The heavy metal content was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The results of the analysis of the heavy metal content in the sediment were in the following order: Zn > Cu > Pb > Ni > Cr > Cd > As > Hg (106.077±98.857, 28.553±30.505, 19.798±11.541, 17.665±11.457, 12.103±0.124, 2.996±1.235, 0.149±0.124, and 0.082±0.047 mg kg-1, respectively). Only the Cd content has exceeded the Threshold Effect Level (TEL) at all study sites. On the other hand, the As and Cr content has not exceeded TEL at any study site. The content of Hg, Cr, Pb, Zn, and Ni has exceeded TEL only at a few study sites. The heavy metal content in estuary sites is higher than in mid-bay and mangrove sites, which can provide the information on the sources of heavy metal contaminants. There is a significant correlation for the content of Cu, As, Pb, Cd, Zn, and Ni which can indicate that the sources of these heavy metals are relatively the same (r = 0.569 to r = 0.950). The CF and Igeo values indicate that there has been contamination of several heavy metals studied. Further analysis ( ERI ) showed that the heavy metal content in the sediments poses a potentially serious ecological risk. Most of the potential ecological risks are the contribution of Cd and Hg which have high toxicity factors and this should receive special attention from local governments and stakeholders to prevent higher contamination.

Opis:
The specificity of navigation in the Baltic Sea means that intensive ship traffic occurs on the main shipping routes. Therefore, there is a high risk of a collision that will result in an oil spillage; the Baltic Sea is an area that is very sensitive to this type of accident. In addition, there are sensitive Natura 2000 areas that require special protection. A case study of a potential oil spill in the Słupska Bank area has been carried out in this paper; the results of the oil spill simulations and their analyses are presented in this article. The simulations were carried out in the PISCES II oil spill simulator. The spread of oil pollutants in typical weather conditions, the size of the threatened areas and the oil’s impact time have been analyzed. Based on the results obtained from the simulations, the most adverse weather conditions for the simulated oil pollution accident in the TSS Słupska Bank region have been determined.

Opis:
The heavy metal contamination has become a serious problem in the aquatic environment, including marine sediments. This study was aimed at analyzing the content of heavy metals in marine sediments, then assessing and evaluating the level of heavy metal contamination and its ecological risks. The sediment samples were taken using a grab sampler at six sites in the coastal waters of Mimika Regency, Indonesia. The TCLP testing method was used to determine the content of heavy metals in marine sediments. The results showed that the concentrations of Pb, Cu, Cd, and Hg in marine sediments ranged from <0.25 to 0.59 ppm, <0.02 to 0.54 ppm, <0.005 to 0.03 ppm, and < 0.0007 ppm. Only the concentrations of Cu on the Meoga and Puriri sites exceeded the quality standard in the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 18 year 1999. The results of the assessment of heavy metal contamination and its ecological risk potential indicate that the coastal waters of Mimika Regency are included in the category of low contamination and low ecological risks. The concentration of heavy metals in this study shows that the coastal waters of Mimika Regency are not contaminated by Pb, Cu, Cd, and Hg heavy metals.

Opis:
Coastal areas in Anantigha are utilized as dumpsite for industrial and domestic wastes including effluent from local industries and inhabitants of the area despite their usage for crop cultivation. Thus, the present study was designed to assess the concentration, pollution load and ecological risk of heavy metal in Anantigha coastal area. Standard pollution indices such as contamination factor (Cf), degree of contamination, pollution load index (PLI), enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and ecological risk index were deployed to assess the level of heavy metals contamination in the area. The results showed that the sediment was acidic under dried conditions and low in conductivity. The mean concentration levels of all the heavy metals were lower than their mean background values except for Al. The orders of dominance for concentration of heavy metals were: Al>Fe>Mn>Cu>Zn (Station 1) and Al>Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu (Stations 2, 3 and 4). Analyzed data showed that the sediments in the area are contaminated with Al with Igeo result showing station 2 and 4 been moderately to heavily contaminated with Al while station 4 was heavily contaminated with aluminium. Station 1 had low degree of contamination, whereas station 2 and 4 had moderate degree of contamination, and station 3 showed considerable degree of contamination. The PLI result indicates unpolluted condition and the area were not enriched by the studied heavy metals as shown by EF values. Hence, the sediment in Anantigha coastal marine area was classified as having low ecological risk factor. However, the levels of these metals are not static; there is tendency for increase as a result of increased human input and activities. Hence, there is a need for regular soil testing.
