The purpose of the article is to present the legal aspects of air protection in force in Poland and European Union countries with particular emphasis on odor nuisance. It lets you see how difficult it is to clearly define this problem in law. The work includes legal acts, arrangements (public consultations), executive acts in Poland and European Union countries regarding air protection, with particular emphasis on odor nuisance. The work refers to European Union directives, European Parliament directives, European Council decisions which set out the rights in the field of air quality and air quality management, as well as legal acts, findings, guidelines, and decisions of relevant bodies dealing with air protection in selected European Union countries and in Poland. Comparing the provisions in force in the European Union, EU countries and in Poland, it can be concluded that the European Union does not set specific, uniform provisions regarding odor nuisance, i.e. a law or regulation that would typically address this problem. Directives on air emissions have been created. The European Union has allowed countries to adapt the rules themselves at local level (i.e. each EU country according to their own research, analyzes).

The article presents the results of hydromorphological research of the Warta river basing of the Hydromorphological Index for Rivers (HIR). The HIR index considered as well as two components of this mutimetrix: hydromorphological diversity index (WRH) and modification transformation index (WPH).Field surveys were carried out in 2017-2018 on 49 survey sites of the Warta River. Studies have shown the diversification of the hydromorphological state of the river. Hydromorphological state of the surveyed sites from very good to bad was found. Good hydromorphological status (26 sites), for the most frequent category, followed by very good (10) and moderate (7). Poor conditions were detected for 5 sites and bad for one only. Statistically significant relationships were also found between the land use of the bank zone, and hydromorphological indices – HIR, WRH and WPH. The best hydromorphological conditions were found in semi-natural and agricultural areas. However, various forms of anthropopressure, with particular emphasis on urbanization, were factors significantly worsening the hydromorphological conditions. A higher degree of hydromorphological degradation was revealed in the lower course of the river comparing with the higher course of the Warta.

Pedunculate oaks of Quercus robur L. are the most magnificent trees in Poland, which occur in their natural range. According to various sources, the circumference of the trunks of the thickest trees measured at breast height may exceed 1000 cm. Oaks of impressive sizes were often presented in the scientific and popular science literature primarily due to their size, but also cultural and historical value. Studies of this type most often referred to the most impressive specimen of this species on the national scale. In reference to Western Pomerania, there is no scientific study on the largest specimen in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, which is a natural occurrence of this species. Research carried out in 2017-2018 is an attempt to systematize knowledge in this area on the regional scale and has been carried out on a group of trees that are the most impressive in terms of the circumference measured at breast height. The analysis included a detailed description of dendrological parameters and an assessment of the health status according to the scales used in modern dendrology. Information from historical sources was also included. The study covered 12 copies of pedunculate oak Quercus robur L.

Increasing requirements of wastewater treatments and the development of wastewater treatment and sewage sludge systems cause a significant increase in the demand for electricity and heat. An alternative way to obtain cheap energy is to use biogas produced in the anaerobic digestion process from sewage sludge. The paper presents an analysis of sewage sludge and biogas-energy management at the wastewater treatment plant in Opole in the aspect of obtaining biogas and its use for electricity production. The biogas-energy system was functioning properly in 2017–2019. A total of 7.26 GWh of electricity was produced from biogas in two power generators, which allowed to cover nearly 35% of the demand for electricity.

The article analyzes the impact of fuel type and heating device on the quality of atmospheric air in an area including 15 emitters characteristic for single-family households. The air quality analysis was conducted by calculating the concentrations of dust and gas pollutants in the atmosphere at various distances from the emitters. Dust and gas pollutants emitted as a result of heating single-family houses and heating utility water were taken into account: suspended dust PM10, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide. Eight variants of the device were used, fired with gaseous, solid and liquid fuels, in older and modern versions. The Ek100w program from Atmoterm was used to calculate the immission of pollutants. Calculations have shown that the maximum SO2 immission is 963 times lower in the case of natural gas combustion in modern boilers than when firing with “eco-pea coal”, the maximum NO2 immunity caused by the use of modern heating devices is lower in the case of natural gas combustion in modern boilers than with “eco-pea coal” almost 5 times, while the maximum emission of PM10 dust is about 1283-fold lower in the case of natural gas combustion in modern boilers than when using “eco-pea” coal.

The use of chemical-thermal disintegration method of activated sludge against anaerobic stabilization contributes to the intensification of the decomposition of organic compounds and the increase of the efficiency of the whole process. The paper presents the results of research on the impact of the hybrid disintegration method, using alkalization (pH ≈ 9) and freezing / thawing with dry ice (dry ice volume 1: 0.75) on the activated sludge properties and the mesophilic fermentation process. As a result of the conducted tests, it was found that for the raw sludge the COD value constituted on average 100 mg/dm3 and the chemical-thermal pretreatment of sludge resulted in an increase of COD value to 1890 mg/dm3. The use of this method of sludge destruction and then them introduction to the fermentation reactors influenced, depending on its volume, on biogas production and biogas yield. The highest increase in biogas production – 2.933 dm3 (better production by 15.2% in comparison to raw sample) was recorded for the sample with addition of 50% of hybrid disintegrated sludge. The highest yield of biogas was achieved in the sample with addition of 30% of hybrid disintegrated sludge – 0.482 dm/gdry organic matter removed. The hybrid process of disintegration is easy and simple to implementation in a full technical scale, and moreover, it does not affect on the pH value of sludge introduced into digestion chambers (dry ice neutralizes previously alkaline sludge).

The study attempts to show the diversity of vegetation of Carboniferous waste dumps with a predominant proportion of grasses and herbaceous plants, as well as recognition of soil grain preferences with biomass arising in patches of vegetation dominated by various species of grass and herbaceous plants. The floristic composition of the communities is based mainly on the dominance of one species or co-dominance of native herbaceous species i.e.: Chamaenerion palustre, Daucus carota, Centaurea stoebe, Lotus corniculatus, Tussilago farfara, Melilotus alba or aliens: Erigeron annuus, Matricaria maritima subsp. inodora, Solidago gigantea and grass species, i.e. Calamagrostis epigejos, Solidago gigantea, Poa compressa, Festuca arundinacea, Festuca rubra, Phragmites australis. In individual communities from 23 to 55 species of plants were recorded. The most diverse species include communities with high coverage of such species as: Poa compressa (H’ – 1.89), Daucus carota (H’ – 1.82), Festua arundinacea (H’ – 1.45), Calamagrostis epigejos (H’ – 1.42), while the smallest variety is characterized by the community with the participation of Phragmites australis (H’ – 0.91). Analysis of the grain size of the subsoil on the Carboniferous waste dumps showed a relationship between the dominant species and the granulometric composition as well as the content of organic matter in the subsoil.

The aim of the study was to determine the content of selected macroelements N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na and S in mushrooms from target crops white and brown mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) and oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus), which were purchased in stores of local retail chains. Total nitrogen content was determined by elemental analysis on a CHN analyzer with the thermal conductivity detector (TCD), while the other elements by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), after dry digestion in a muffle furnace at 450°C and dissolution of ash in 10% HCl solution. The conducted research revealed a significant diversity of the chemical composition in the analyzed species of mushrooms. The highest content of N, P, K, Ca, Na, S were determined in the fruiting bodies of the brown mushrooms, and Mg in oyster mushrooms. The smallest content of N, Ca, Na and S was found in the fruiting bodies of the oyster mushrooms and Mg in white mushrooms.

The work analyzes the relationship between the amount of soil fauna in the diversity of vegetation on post-mining dumps. Until now, researchers have devoted a lot of attention to the development and diversity of plant communities in post-industrial areas, including heaps of gangue. The quantitative and qualitative participation of selected meso-fauna groups (Nematoda, Enchytraeidae) in the soil base of post-mining areas was much less known. Understanding these relationships can be of great practical importance in planning and implementing surveying works to restore habitats in areas created in connection with the exploitation of mineral resources. Activity of soil organisms is one of the factors conditioning plant growth and their resistance to stress. A marginally significant relationship was found between the species diversity of the patches of vegetation, measured by the value of the ShannonWiener index, and the abundance of vase vessels (rs = 0.31, p = 0.05). The percentage coverage of the dominant species, its abundance, as well as the total percentage coverage of plants and bryophytes, dry matter volume and general coverage of herbaceous plants significantly affects the number of vassels.
分析了采后排土场土壤动物数量与植被多样性的关系。到目前为止，研究人员已经把大量的注意力放在了后工业地区植物群落的发展和多样性上，包括大量的脉石。所选择的中动物群(线虫科、蛭形目)在采矿区后土壤基础上的定量和定性参与尚不清楚。了解这些关系在规划和执行测量工作以恢复因开采矿物资源而造成的地区的生境方面具有重大的实际意义。土壤生物活性是调节植物生长和抗逆性的因素之一。植被斑块物种多样性(shannon - wiener指数)与花瓶容器丰度呈极显著相关(rs = 0.31, p = 0.05)。优势种的盖度百分比、丰度、植物和苔藓植物的总盖度百分比、草本植物的干物质体积和总盖度对管束数量有显著影响。

The percentage coverage of the dominant species, its abundance, as well as the total percentage coverage of plants and bryophytes, dry matter volume and general coverage of herbaceous plants significantly affects the number of vassels.","PeriodicalId":53324,"journal":{"name":"Inzynieria Ekologiczna","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48609202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to assess the toxicological potential and thus forecast the potential effect posed by untreated hospital wastewater discharges according to exposed ecosystem, the ecotoxicological analysis were performed. During the study the real samples of hospital wastewater were used. The ecotoxicological analysis included the following tests: immobilization test according to crustacean Daphnia magna; mortality test according to crustacean Thamnocephalus platyourus and Artemia salina and growth inhibition test relative to ciliates Tetrahymena termophila. Within each test, the value of ecotoxicological indicators EC50 (effect concentration) were estimated. The EC50 value were transformed into the Toxic Unit (TU), basis of which the analyzed hospital wastewater samples were classified. The results proves that hospital wastewater pose a serious threat to exposed aquatic organisms and their insufficient purification as well as uncontrolled discharge into the environment may cause adverse changes in the environment.
