In this study, we present the results of impact abiotic environmental (chemical) stressors in soil environment (salinity, acidification, inorganic elements from industry—red mud waste containing Al) on content and fluorescence chlorophyll assimilating tissues Glycine max (L.) Merrill, cv. ES Mentor. Under controlled conditions a pot experiment during 2023 growing season, applied graded doses these (salinity—doses 20, 30, 60 g NaCl per 2 dm3 water used for plant irrigation; acidity—pH 6, pH...
Background and Aim: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the products of incomplete combustion or pyrolysis various organic materials. Their ubiquity in environment leads to measurable levels exposure. However, exposure varies strongly between different regions Europe. Some PAHs with four more rings suspected be human carcinogens. Therefore, occupational and/or environmental may cause a significant health risk. The aim study was evaluate current PAH defined groups workers.Methods:...
The activities of the kraft pulp-mill in Ružomberok have great impact on ambient air quality town and neighboring villages. malodorous sulfur compounds adversely contribute to overall emission profile. reduced proportion forms inorganic organic containing atoms their lowest oxidation condition (S2-). total includes hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, dimethyl disulfide other compounds. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) - as mentioned above is prime importance. has measured contained since 2002. environmental...
Regional products are considered an important element of European cultural identity, contributing to the development and sustainability rural areas. The article presents research regional labels from territory Slovak Republic. Our was aimed at determining views producers towards product labeling scheme. survey took place January 2020 April using online questionnaire via Google Docs. results obtained were statistically processed: t-test, Fisher's exact test, Pearson correlation coefficient....
The expanding demand for new critical raw materials can lead to their increased release the environment in form of emerging environmental contaminants (EECs). However, there has never been a comprehensive study that takes into account total EEC content, content various fractions, behaviour floodplain soils, and potential ecological human health risks. occurrence, influencing factors seven EECs (Li, Be, Sr, Ba, V, B, Se) originating from historical mining soils ecosystems (arable lands,...
This article reports the results of a study concerning contamination dump-fields by potentially toxic elements at five abandoned copper mines: Ľubietová, Špania Dolina (Slovakia), Libiola, Caporciano (Italy) and São Domingos (Portugal). paper offers an updated description soil individual deposits indicates possible solution derived environmental problems. Contamination technosoils PTEs shows irregular spatial distribution Fe, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Sb Pb. Contents often exceed both...
<p>Ore-mining industry produces a waste, which belongs to the main sources of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). One initial steps necessary for remediation project contaminated sites is research PTEs mobile forms that are very capable enter trophic chain mainly through plants. Great abandoned copper deposit São Domingos (Portugal) was selected as representative area since presence high contents proved there in previous...
