: The emergence of new biotechnologies has increased interest in the study of the impact of environmental contamination on microbial communities, particularly in relation to the potential benefits that stress-adapted microorganisms offer in environmental protection, industrial ecology, and mineral and waste processing. This study aimed to compare the bioaccumulation abilities of recently isolated microscopic fungi belonging to the genera Aspergillus , Phoma , Cystobasidium , Cladosporium and Exophiala . These fungi were isolated from a site contaminated with both toxic metals and organic pollutants. The study monitored the bioaccumulation of selected toxic metal ions (Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Cr(III), Pb(II)), as well as pH changes, over a 30-day of biomass growth. The medium containing Pb(II) exhibited a statistically significant pH change during the 30-day accumulation period (Mann-Whitney U Test, p < 0.05). These findings provide valuable insights for the potential industrial application of microscopic fungi in bioaccumulation processes.

: This paper evaluates the washing interval of the rapid sand filter at the central drinking water treatment plant Nov á Ves—Fr ý dlant nad Ostravic í in the Czech Republic (DWTP Nov á Ves). The aim was to conduct automated flow cytometry measurements (FCM) and find the link between FCM and turbidity. The monitor parameters were the length of the wash cycle in hours, the flow rate of the filter and the production, the pumping of the recirculating wash water, and the physico-chemical and microbial analysis of the water samples. The focus of this paper is the detailed characteristics of the filtration mode evaluated during the summer and winter periods. During the measurements, it was confirmed that turbidity replicated the FCM data measured by the FC BactoSense instrument. Turbidity can be identified as one of the key features that can be related to the measurements made. Turbidity and the cell count itself are influenced, among other things, by the pumping of the return water, whereby an increase in the cell count can be observed after the pumping has stopped but gradually stabilizes at the values measured before pumping.
:本文评估了捷克共和国 Nov á Ves-Fr ý dlant nad Ostravic í 中央饮用水处理厂（DWTP Nov á Ves）快速砂滤器的清洗间隔。目的是进行自动流式细胞仪测量 (FCM)，并找出 FCM 与浊度之间的联系。监测参数包括以小时为单位的洗涤周期长度、过滤器和生产的流速、循环洗涤水的泵送以及水样的物理化学和微生物分析。本文的重点是评估夏季和冬季期间过滤模式的详细特性。在测量过程中，浊度与 FC BactoSense 仪器测量的 FCM 数据一致。浊度是与测量结果相关的关键特征之一。浊度和细胞计数本身受回水抽水等因素的影响，在抽水停止后，可观察到细胞计数增加，但会逐渐稳定在抽水前的测量值。

: This study assesses the water quality of the Sušaneck é Ponds in the Czech Republic post-mining area. Four monitoring profiles were chosen: the Sušanka River inflow into the Sušaneck é Ponds, two ponds and the outflow of the Sušaneck é Ponds to the Sušanka River. The sampling took place in a 14-day interval from March to October 2022. The monitored parameters were temperature, O 2 , pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, nitrate nitrogen, ammoniacal nitrogen, total phosphorus, chlorophyll-a, COD Cr , BOD 5 and metals—Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb, Co, Cd, Cr. The results were evaluated in accordance with the Czech standard ˇCSN 75 7221 and Government Regulation No. 401/2015 Coll. Based on the evaluation data, it was found that the area of the Sušaneck é Ponds does not meet the limits of the government regulation for three out of the twenty parameters. According to the standard, Sušaneck é Ponds are mainly classified as highly polluted waters.

: The construction industry plays a significant role in resource consumption and environmental degradation, making it crucial to analyze the sustainability aspects of construction materials and their transportation processes. This paper focuses on conducting a life cycle assessment (LCA) analysis of building materials, specifically considering the environmental impacts associated with their transportation to construction sites. By incorporating the transport phase into the assessment, a more holistic understanding of the environmental implications of construction materials can be achieved. The study aims to quantify the environmental burdens of both material production and transportation, providing valuable insights for sustainable decision making in the construction industry. The analysis revealed that transport of building materials for the studied house by diesel lorry, covering a distance of 150 km, contributed 16% to climate change and a significant 53.5% to abiotic resource depletion. Additionally, it had a 15–18% impact on acidification and photo-oxidant formation.

: This paper is focused on evaluating the quality of bottom sediments and water in the watershed of the Delˇna creek, where gold, antimony and mercury were mined in the past. The results showed that the biggest source of pollution was a heap of mining material, where the limit values of Sb, As, Hg and Pb concentrations in the sediments were exceeded. Other sources of pollution in the river basin were the right-hand tributaries. A comparison of the dependencies of the concentrations of potentially toxic metals in the water and sediments shows that while the concentrations of pollutants in the waters react to the current state of water quality in the basin and tributaries (pH
