Deposition of Cu, Zn, Mn, Cr, Ni, Pb and Cd, and their concentrations in falling dust were measured in 1995-1998 in eastern Mazowieckie Province (former Siedleckie Province). No maximum permissible values of dust deposition, nor Pb and Cd concentrations, were exceeded. It was observed that the elements of low melting temperatures (Pb, Zn) reached higher concentrations in particulate matter, and higher deposition level in heating season compared with summer. Among all the examined metals Ni appeared to be the most stable in falling particulate matter. The results indicate that the main source of metals in falling particulate matter is the thermal and electric power industry.
Contents of Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd have been examined in soils and dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Web.) in uncontaminated (Biała Podlaska, area of eastern Poland) and contaminated environments (Ruda Śląska and Bytom - Upper Silesia area). Based on the value of the cumulation factor (FC) a reduction of Zn and Cu collection by dandelion has been observed along with an increase of the concentration of these metals in the soil. Such a dependence is not so pronounced in the case of Pb and Cd. Even in an environment con­taminated excessively with Cd (IV degree soil contamination) this element is collected by dandelion only in concentrations proportional to its content in the soil.
The concentration levels of the following metals: Cd, Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe and Ni in falling dusts, soil and dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Webb.) were examined in selected areas of Southern Podlasie Lowland. The research was conducted from 1995 to 1999. The metals were marked by means of the AAS technique. The deposition of Cd and Pb metals did not exceed the values standardized in the Polish legislation, and the mean metal concentration in the soil was the same as the natural content. The mean metal concentration in dandelion leaves and root was within the values accepted as background in professional literature. It was proved that in agricultural lands that were not excessively loaded with heavy metals, the metal level in the root of the plant is of higher significance than in the leaves when using dandelion for bio-indicatory purposes.
The taxonomic composition of macroinvertebrates in the Liwiec River and its tributaries situated in central and eastern Poland was studied during three seasons (spring, summer and autumn). Simultaneously, physical and chemical parameters of water were measured. Water parameters were different in each study period. Macroinvertebrates samples collected in summer and autumn were much more diversified than the samples collected in spring. In the spring samples a greater EPT diversity was observed, while in the samples collected in autumn Odonata, Coleoptera and Heteroptera were more diversified. The values of the BMWP-PL index were slightly higher for the summer and autumn samples than for the spring ones. Correlation between the concentration of oxygen in water and the number of individuals of Plecoptera and Trichoptera larvae was noted. The negative correlation between the values of BOD₅, the concentration of nitrate ions and conductivity, and the number of macroinvertebrate families was observed. A negative correlation also was noted between nitrate and phosphate ion concentrations and the number of individual insect larvae.
Water quality of the liwiec River (the longest tributary of the Bug River, the South Podlasie Lowland, and the Central Mazovia Lowland) was evaluated in 1998-2000 and 2002 using selected physical and chemical parameters and macroinvertebrate analysis. Classification of water quality was done on the basis of physical and chemical parameters. Taxonomic composition of invertebrate macrofauna was used for calculation of the following biological indices: Belgian Biological Index (BBI), British BMWP/OQR Index, and modified for Polish rivers, Margaleff's index of biological diversity. The values of physical and chemical parameters showed that water of the Liwiec River belongs to the 2nd and 3rd class of quality (in the five degree scale). The values of BBI and BMWP/OQR indices revealed that the water was moderately polluted. According to the biodiversity index, the Liwiec River was classified as the 1st quality class. Correlation between chemical parameters and BBI and BMWP/OQR values shows that these indices may be used for evaluation of water quality in Polish lowland rivers (like Liwiec). However, in the case of the biodiversity index, the ranges for various water quality classes should be modified.
Determinations were made of the contents of heavy metals (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd) in the soft tissues and shells of the mussels Anodonta woodiana and Dreissena polymorpha which inhabit the discharge channels of the Pątnów and Konin power plants and the heated Konin lakes. The studied mussels contained higher concentrations of metals, especially of Cu, Zn, and Pb, than did mussels of the family Unionidae and D. polymorpha which occur in fresh water reservoirs that are not polluted by dust fall-out from power plants. In the environments which were compared, the adult mussels of the genus Anodonta cumulate metals in greater concentrations than do D. polymorpha; this is due to their life span which is at least twice as long.
