The aim of the study was to assess the water quality of small watercourses entering the inner part of Puck Bay. The paper presents the results of chemical and microbiological analyses of 10 rivers and canals at their estuaries located on the western shore of the internal Puck Bay. The following environmental parameters were analyzed: conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration (in situ measurements), COD (cuvette tests), concentrations of ions (ion chromatography). Microbiological analysis included assessment of sanitary condition based on the number of fecal coliforms by a cultivation method. The determination of basic microbiological parameters such as: prokaryotic cell abundance expressed as total cells number (TCN), prokaryotic cell biovolume expressed as average cell volume (ACV), the prokaryotic biomass (PB) and prokaryotic cell morphotype diversity were determined using epifluorescence microscopy method.

Paliulis","doi":"10.24425/aep.2021.139500","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24425/aep.2021.139500","url":null,"abstract":"Surface wastewater pollution due to accidental runoff or release of oil or its products is a longstanding and common environmental problem. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of concentrations of oil products (diesel) and suspended solids, the sorbent type, the water flow rate and the interfering factors (chlorides) on the dynamic sorption of diesel and to test regeneration of polypropylene after its use for sorption. The sorbents used for study included common wheat straw (Triticum aestivum), polypropylene and sorbents modified with hydrogen peroxide solution. Standard methods were used for the determination of the investigated parameters and an in-house procedure employing a gas chromatograph was used for the determination of diesel concentration. The following factors that impact the sorption of diesel were investigated during the study: diesel concentration, concentration of suspended solids; type of sorbent (common wheat straw (Triticum aestivum), wheat straw modified with hydrogen peroxide, and polypropylene), water flow rate; and influence of the interfering factors (chlorides). Filtration speed in the range of investigated speeds does not affect the efficiency of diesel removal. Removal efficiency does not depend on the concentration of diesel before the sorbent reaches its maximum sorption capacity. Filling containing 50% of polypropylene and 50% of wheat straw was used for the study. It was found that polypropylene and wheat straw do not remove chlorides and suspended solids from solution. The study found that the solution of hydrogen peroxide boosts the hydrophobic properties of common wheat straw, but does not affect the sorption of diesel. The recommended number of regenerations of polypropylene should be limited to two. Experimental investigations of dynamic sorption of diesel from contaminated water 31 (Yalcinkaya et al. 2020, Lurchenko et al. 2019, Voronov et al. 2018, Kwasny et al. 2018). Sorption with a solid sorbent is one of the possible treatment methods. Sorbents can be used for the removal of oil products and organic pollutants from polluted water (Gushchin et al. 2018, Akpomie and Conradie 2021, Quím 2020, Rudkovsky et al. 2016, Paulauskiene 2018, Króla and Rożek 2020, Baiseitov et al. 2016). Clay minerals and modified clay minerals are also widely used for removing oil products and organic pollutants from water and soil (Li et al. 2016, Moshe and Rytwo 2018, Bandura et al. 2017). Scientists have tested polypropylene and other types of plastic for the removal of hydrocarbons and other organic pollutants as well (Baig and Saleh 2019, Karyab et al. 2016, Thilagavathi and Das 2018, Mohammadi et al. 2020). The sorption efficiency of oil depends on the porosity of the sorbent: sorbents with higher porosity have higher sorption capacity. There are three stages of sorption: the first stage is the initial one, where sorption is most intensive during the first minute. This represents the most intensive process of oi","PeriodicalId":48950,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Environmental Protection","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73783662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nadgórska-Socha","doi":"10.24425/AEP.2021.138465","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24425/AEP.2021.138465","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of the study was to determine the time-delayed (after three years from the moment of soil pollution) effect of petroleum-derived products (PDPs) (petrol, diesel fuel and used engine oil) on the interaction between selected host plant (broad bean) and a herbivorous insect closely related to it (Sitona spp.). We assessed the condition of the plant exposed to pollutants (i.e. its growth and chemical composition), then we evaluated the attractiveness of the plant for both larvae and adults of the insect. The evaluation covered also the effect of bioremediation by using ZB-01 biopreparation. The results showed that after 3 years from soil contamination, engine oil and diesel fuel limited the feeding of adult sitona weevils while petrol caused increase in the attractiveness of plants for these insects. The PDPs negatively affected the growth of plants. The changes in element content depended on the type of pollutant. The biopreparation ZB-01 eliminated or reduced the differences caused by the presence of PDPs in the soil regarding the chemical composition of the host plant, and limited feeding by both the larvae and adult individuals of sitona weevils. The negative relationships between the contents of both some macroelements (Mg, S) and heavy metals (Zn, Ni), and feeding of imago of Sitona were observed. The obtained results indicate that PDPs remain for a long time in the environment and adversely affect not only the organisms directly exposed to the pollution – plants growing on polluted soil but also further links of the trophic chain, i.e. herbivores. List of abbreviations used at work: PDPs – petroleum-derived products EO – soil contaminated with engine oil, DF – soil contaminated with diesel fuel, P – soil contaminated with petrol, C – control soil, 0R – without bioremediation, R – with bioremediation ZB-01 – the name of the biopreparation used TPH – total petroleum hydrocarbons 72 M. Rusin, J. Gospodarek, A. Nagórska-Socha The effects of PDPs on the growth and development of plants and soil organisms exposed directly to the contact with pollutants are relatively well known (Pennings et al. 2014, Grifoni et al. 2020), but there is very scarce information about indirect effects of these compounds from polluted soil through plants to the subsequent links of trophic chain i.e. phytophagous insects. The results of studies on the impact of different oil concentrations on herbivory invertebrates (grass shrimp Palaemonete spugio and amphipods Gammarus mucronatus) of water plant (Ruppia maritima) suggest a significant and indirect influence of pollutants (Martin and Swenson 2018). Changes in the composition of the host plant due to oil-exposure affected the food preferences of herbivores as well as the amount of food they eat. However, no similar data are available on the effects of PDPs on terrestrial herbivores, which is the purpose of this experiment. Because of their diversity, easy collection and breeding, great fertility, and the short per","PeriodicalId":48950,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Environmental Protection","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74974905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wiatkowski","doi":"10.24425/AEP.2020.135767","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24425/AEP.2020.135767","url":null,"abstract":"Hydropower use of watercourses has tangible consequences for the environment, society and economy. Based on a literature review and their own research, the authors present current data on changes in the ecological status of waters within run-of-river and reservoir hydropower plants, i.e. changes in biological elements (benthic macroinvertebrates, plankton, ichthyofauna, macrophytes), as well as hydromorphological and physicochemical changes. Previous researchers have noted that the impact of hydropower use of rivers on ecological status of those rivers is extensive, consisting of, among others, changes in species structure and populations of macrophytes, benthic macroinvertebrates, plankton and ichthyofauna (positive as well as negative changes), algal blooms due to increased turbidity, constrained migration of water organisms, changes in temperature within hydroelectric power plants, the phenomenon of supersaturation, eutrophication, changes in hydrological conditions (e.g., increased amplitudes of diurnal water levels and their consequent annual reduction), and increased erosion below the damming and deposition of bottom sediments on the damming barriers. In addition to such changes in ecological status, hydropower use also has a visible impact on socio-economic conditions (e.g., living standards of the population) and the environment (e.g., quality of bottom sediments and biodiversity). The article offers an assessment of the impact of hydropower use of rivers on ecological status (biological, hydromorphological, physicochemical elements and hydrological conditions of such rivers), society, economy and environment; it also proposes a research scheme to assess the impact of hydropower structures. Shaping changes in the ecological status of watercourses within barrages with hydropower schemes – literature review 79 The next part of the work develops and proposes a research scheme on hydropower facilities, and provides an assessment of the impact of hydropower use of rivers on these individual elements: ecological status (biological, hydromorphological, physicochemical and hydrological conditions), society, economy and environment. Impact of barrages with hydropower schemes on ecological status of watercourses, society, economy and environment Ecological status of watercourses The definition of ecological status derives from the provisions of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (EP 2000). This status consists of three types of elements characterizing the aquatic environment: biological, hydromorphological and physicochemical (Nõges et al. 2009; Wiatkowski & Wiatkowska 2019). It is appropriate to use the term “ecological status” when the watercourse is natural, whereas in the case of artificial and heavily modified watercourses, it is appropriate to refer to “ecological potential” (Borja & Elliott 2007). Due to the fact that long-term changes in river ecosystems better reflect occurring organisms, biological elements are the foremost in the assess","PeriodicalId":48950,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Environmental Protection","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90550255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
