: Proper management, monitory and pollution controls measure should be maintained, for limited water resources, so as to reduce human health risks. Lead pollution can negatively affect human health. This study reviewed concentrations of lead in water and sediments of water bodies in Kenya, from samples or publications conducted between 1990 and 2021. Information on quantitative concentration values, locality, allowable standards, general methodology and possible pollutant sources for lead pollution in water and sediment were gathered. Based on the review, 71 concentration values (23.94%) for water, where above or similar to the Republic of Kenya (2006), maximum allowable value, with higher pollution levels in Kenya’s major urban areas. The 43 sedimentary concentrations, were in the range of 198.7 mg/kg to 5.9 mg/kg. Lead concentration varied with weather patterns, in some reviews. Lead and heavy metals pollution was mainly attributed to human, industrial or agricultural activities and poor waste management. There was variation in method used by different studies. More experimental researches and modeling techniques, should be considered, for accurate methodologies, within Kenya’s context. There should be proper treatment and monitoring of effluent, also human and industrial activities should b e avoided near water body’s banks through enforcement of riparian areas protection.

: Environmental behavior and recycle behavior both are related to having emotional intelligence by the way of thinking environment. Recent studies about the environment and recycle behavior paid attention to human’s individual sensitiveness as environmental value, west management, or environmental protection. However, the influences of emotional intelligence on behavioral satisfaction were left out. To fill this gap, the current study investigates the association emotional intelligence on behavioral satisfaction among university students, and recycle behavior mediates this association. The model is empirically tested with data collected from 477 participants of university students by questionnaire. Dataset adopts the method of structural equation modeling to explore the mediating role of recycle behavior between emotional intelligence and behavioral satisfaction. Results indicate that participants’ emotional int elligence toward environmental behaviors positively affects their behavior satisfaction, and in this result, recycle behavior has mediating affect between emotional intelligence and behavior satisfaction.

: This study is the first to date which addresses the issue of public perception of meteorological and climate risks in the city of Suceava and surrounding areas and among the few studies on this topic conducted at the national level. The aim of the study is to explore from several perspectives the impact of severe atmospheric phenomena on the social and economic environment of Suceava and its surroundings, but also the way in which the population relates to them. The study is based on an online survey (January 2021) regarding the meteorological-climate risk phenomena that occur in Suceava and the neighboring localities respectively, which was applied to a number of 514 inhabitants who have permanent or temporary residence in this area. The survey contains 29 items; of these, one item required additional clarification, which was obtained by asking a complex question to an additional number of 253 respondents (May-June 2021). The respondents belonged to several age groups and socio-professional categories. Based on the received answers, we constructed a complex picture of the way in which the population of Suceava and the neighboring suburban localities relate to these dangerous phenomena, which can be useful both scientifically and in practice by the authorities. We found that the population of Suceava is familiar at an average to good level with the issue of meteorological-climatic risks.

: Despite its abundance in many regions of the planet, the marl’s use in practical issues engender many problems, in relation to its components’ quality, its physical and chemical characteristics and its valorization costs. The crumbling is among its major critical aspects that affect its engineering behavior, its handcraft and other socio-economic uses. This paper apprehends the physical and chemical properties of the Miocene marl in Fez vicinity (Morocco). They are investigated to measure their changes and see how they affect the marl’s geotechnical characteristics. Mixed with cellulose and pozzolan at different concentration degrees, the marl samples were exposed to extreme temperatures, observed in the laboratory and interpreted in terms of characteristics reliable to crumbling risk reducing as cohesion and materials’ resistance. By adding the cellulose and pozzolan to the raw marl at different percentages (1%, 5%), (2%, 10%), (3%, 15%), (4%, 20%), (5%,25%), we have tested its characteristics using various techniques and analyses. We mainly used X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and SEM techniques This study apprehends the possible production of innovative materials based on marl mixtures. It emphasizes the valorization of the Miocene marls in the region of Fez (Morocco) but its aims are larger as the results may be applied for marl worldwide. The main goal is to identify the best thresholds that are suited to improve the mixed marls’ physico -chemical properties and therefore reduce risks of crumbling in marl. The results are concluding as chemical analyses show a slight variation of major chemical elements in the samples’ contents. We note that after adding pozzolan and cellulose to marl, the Fe2O3 and SiO2 increase and favors neoformation of clays. New illite and metakaolinite appear. The difference is important when we compare results between characteristics of the raw marl and those of the mixed marls, in particular at temperatures of 900 °C and 1000 °C. The mineralogical analyzes have shown the appearance of well crystallized hematite. In mixed marl, these results were confirmed by the electron microscope analysis. The results converge to confirm the positive impact of geopolymer mixtures as they contribute to decrease the risks of marl crumbling as its cohesion and resistance become intense. These new marl’s characteristics are innovator and show a new degree of the material’ transformation. They favor the marl’s advantageous exploitation in economic and industrial activities. Even locally experimented, the importance of the obtained results may be worldwide. These results show a perfect crystallization of minerals such as quartz, hematite and the transformation of illite and kaolinite into mullite and metakaolinite. From these curves, it is observed that there is an increase in the intensities of the minerals with the addition of pozzolan and cellulose.

尽管地球上许多地区都有丰富的泥灰岩，但在实际问题中使用泥灰岩会产生许多问题，涉及其成分的质量、物理和化学特性及其增值成本。破碎是影响其工程行为、工艺和其他社会经济用途的主要关键因素之一。本文介绍了摩洛哥非斯地区中新世泥灰岩的物理化学性质。研究人员对它们进行了调查，以测量它们的变化，并观察它们如何影响泥灰岩的岩土特性。将泥灰岩样品与不同浓度的纤维素和火山灰混合，暴露在极端温度下，在实验室进行观察，并根据可靠的特性进行解释，以减少破碎风险，如凝聚力和材料的阻力。通过将纤维素和火山灰以不同的比例(1%，5%)，(2%，10%)，(3%，15%)，(4%，20%)，(5%，25%)添加到生泥泥中，我们使用各种技术和分析测试了其特性。我们主要使用x射线衍射，x射线荧光和扫描电镜技术，本研究了解了基于泥灰岩混合物的创新材料的可能生产。它强调对非斯(摩洛哥)地区中新世泥灰岩的估价，但它的目标更大，因为其结果可能适用于全世界的泥灰岩。主要目标是确定适合改善混合泥灰岩的物理化学性质的最佳阈值，从而降低泥灰岩破碎的风险。化学分析表明，样品中主要化学元素的含量略有变化，因此得出了结论。结果表明，灰泥中添加火山灰和纤维素后，Fe2O3和SiO2增加，有利于粘土的新生。出现新的伊利石和偏高岭石。当我们比较原始泥灰岩和混合泥灰岩的特征结果时，特别是在900°C和1000°C的温度下，这种差异很重要。矿物学分析表明，赤铁矿结晶良好。在混合泥灰岩中，这些结果通过电子显微镜分析得到了证实。这些结果集中证实了地聚合物混合物的积极影响，因为它们有助于减少泥灰岩破碎的风险，因为它的凝聚力和阻力变得强烈。这些新灰泥的特点具有创新性，呈现出材料转型的新程度。他们赞成在经济和工业活动中对海洋进行有利的开发。即使是局部实验，获得的结果的重要性可能是全世界的。石英、赤铁矿等矿物结晶完善，伊利石、高岭石向莫来石、偏高岭石转变。从这些曲线可以看出，随着火山灰和纤维素的加入，矿物的强度有所增加。石英(sio2)、莫来石(M)和偏高岭石(MK)， CaO和al2o3有一个小峰。这些相通常主要发生在由焚烧废物和玻璃粉生产的水泥、陶瓷和玻璃陶瓷材料中(Asquini et al.， 2008)。随着碎屑含量的增加，样品中CaO和al2o3的峰明显减少，而通过对泥灰泥原样品的分析可以观察到非晶相的存在。

: The paper presents an analysis of the flood formation module in the Trotu ș river basin and especially on its tributaries. A special situation was recorded in 2004 when the floods formed on the tributaries presented very high flows, but which did not substantially influence the flow of the main course. The floods produced on the river / stream / torrent type tributaries (example: Asău , Agăș , Goioasa, Iedera) presented flows that exceeded the accepted calculation probabilities. The floods produced were both the effect of torrential rainfall and the configuration of the lower sectors of the riverbeds. The floods produced in 2004 on a series of tributaries of the Trotu ș River presented maximum flows that exceeded the calculation probabilities of 0.1% ( Agăș - 183 m 3 /s, Beheghet - 50.70 m 3 /s, Goioasa - 67.10 m 3 /s, Iedera - 127 m 3 /s). The sudden change of the slope on the lower course of the tributaries determined the deposition of a large volume of alluvium, a situation that reduced the flow section and even blocked it. The result of the corroboration of natural and anthropogenic situations in the propagation of these floods is evidenced by the great destruction produced in a territorial area with numerous human communities and important economic activities.

Adaptation of environmental literacy awareness to the education system and reflection of interest and attitude towards the environment in behavior is a critical element in order to ensure sustainable development. Turkey's interest in the environment and sustainable development began to increase at the end of the 20th century. Unfortunately, the reflection of this interest in the education system has not been at the desired level. The foremost aim of the study is to measure the level of consciousness and awareness about sustainable development of the students who are in the master's programs of the department of public administration. As a sample, students studying in the relevant field between 2018-2020 at Pamukkale University and Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University Social Sciences Institute were selected. In this study, where the qualitative method was preferred, the data of 20 students who provided feedback to the 11-expression interview form were analyzed using the word cloud method. It was concluded that the participants began to examine the relationship between the environmental factor and sustainable development, understood the importance of sustainable development for future generations, but could not adequately reflect the consciousness and awareness they had achieved in their behavior.

The study deals with an integral assessment of hydromorphological and geoecological conditions of the Hukiv (flatland type of river), Dereluy (foothill type of river), and Vyzhenka (mountainous type of river) river basin systems (Figure 1). The indicators characterizing the river basin in the best way as a holistic system, the channel, floodplain, and watershed altogether, in natural reference conditions and in terms of human economic activity are addressed. The assessment hydromorphological test and geoecological monitoring of small rivers (SWOT-analysis) in accordance with the developed universal algorithm for hydromorphological assessment of small river basins for the sustainable development goals are generated and fulfilled. Interpretation maps for the sustainable development of the Hukiv, Dereluy and Vyzhenka rivers are created. The practical importance and relevance concerns the potential application of the proposed monitoring and the algorithm to solve methodological and applied problems related to the functioning of the systems “basin–river–human” and “basin–river–riverbed” in terms of modern human activity and needs; the need to modify consumer-type stereotypes for the use of natural resources, as well as to provide recommendations for enhancing the resource-efficient and sustainable activities in basin systems and small rivers.

The results of air quality monitoring in automatic stations in the North-East Region-Romania (RNER) region in the period 2009 - 2020 indicated that the declared ozone concentration values were generally lower than those regulated by law - information threshold > 180 μg/m3 as required by Directive 2008/50/EC and Law 104/2011. Air quality in RNER relative to ozone concentration was good, with only one exceeding of the information threshold (NT1 - 28 April 2009, 12:00 - 180,28 μg/m3). The highest multi-annual averages (2009 – 2020) were calculated for IS 4 stations (59,5 μg/m3), EM 3 (53,4 μg/m3) and SV 1 (50,3 μg/m3). High values were generally recorded at urban-type stations, where urban characteristics, heavy road transport and the presence of airports generated high ozone concentrations. The lowest multi-annual ozone concentrations were calculated for stations VS 1 (41,5 μg/m3), BC 2 (41,9 μg/m3), IS 3 (42,0 μg/m3) and BC 3 (42,7 μg/m3). Low values were generally registered at industrial stations, where the atmospheric calm and the frequency of urban haze favored the accumulation of pollutants on the soil surface, limiting the formation of ozone. Ozone pollution is viewed with concern by environmental specialists in RNER, due to the fact that this element has a negative impact on people and the environment.

Estimating the impact of hail on agricultural land is needed in order to streamline damage reduction methods. In this regard, hail risk maps were prepared for the region of Moldova for the main types of crops (wheat and rye, corn, potato, sugar beet, sunflower, vegetables, orchards and vineyards). The methodology that we used consists in determining the risk map, as the product between the hazard map (average annual number of days with hail), the exposure map (agricultural crop value) and the vulnerability map (the percentage occupied by a certain agricultural crop in the administrative units). Areas with severe hail risk are in the eastern half of Vrancea County, the western part of Galati County and the northeastern part of Iasi County, where there are large areas cultivated with vines, orchards and vegetables. In Vaslui County, the most exposed ATUs are those in the vicinity of Bârlad, Fălciu Hills and the Huși wine area. Most AUs in Bacău and Suceava counties, in the southern part of Neamț County, are included in the medium and high-risk classes due to the suitable conditions for cultivating most plants and the higher frequency of hail. The ATUs from Botosani County are included in the low and medium risk classes. The lowest level of risk is registered in the case of AUs from the mountainous area, the Curvature Subcarpathians and the areas with higher altitudes from the Central Moldavian Plateau and Tutova Hills.
