Packaging waste is a significant portion of municipal solid waste. It is made mainly of polymers of petroleum, which are usually non-biodegradable and are in many cases difficult to be recycled or reused. In recent years, the development of biodegradable packaging materials from renewable natural resources has gained more attention, especially in the EU. The use of biodegradable materials is expected to have a lower environmental impact than traditional materials based on non-renewable raw materials. The LCA environmental impact analysis of biodegradable plastic used in the packaging industry and comparison to other materials as well as the results of physicochemical analyzes are presented here, in addition to a discussion on the effects of replacing petroleum materials with biodegradable materials.

The aim of this study was to recognize the possibility of downscaling probability density function (PDF) of daily precipitation by means of canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Sea level pressure (SLP) over Europe and the North Atlantic was used as a predictor. A skilful statistical model could be used to generate projections of future changes of precipitation PDF driven by GCM (General Circulation Model) simulations. Daily precipitation totals from 8 stations located on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea covering the period 1961-2010 were used to estimate the gamma distribution parameters, and only wet days (i.e. ≥0.1mm) were taken in the analysis. The results of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and comparison of empirical and theoretical (gamma-distributed) quantiles proved that gamma distribution gives a reliable description of daily precipitation totals. The validation of CCA models applied to gamma parameters revealed that the reliable reconstruction of precipitation PDF is possible only for average long-term conditions. In the case of individual months/seasons the agreement between empirical and reconstructed quantiles is poor. This study shows the potential of modelling of precipitation PDF, however efforts should be made to improve model performance by establishing more reliable links between regional forcing and the variability of the gamma parameters.

Subject and purpose of work: Agricultural production activity brings about specific environmental effects. The aim of the study was to analyse changes in agricultural production in regions of Poland (NUTS-2) in the context of environmental impact using the gross nitrogen balance. Materials and methods: The analysis covered the medium-term perspective of 2001-2016. The primary source of information was statistical data of the Polish Central Statistical Office (Główny Urząd Statystyczny - GUS). Results: During the 2002-2004 period, the balance of gross nitrogen balance in Poland did not change and amounted to an average of 47.5 kg N∙ha-1 UAA (Utilized Agricultural Area). The progressive extensification of plant production in the following provinces: Slaskie, Malopolskie, Podkarpackie and Swietokrzyskie, is accompanied by a rapid reduction in the stocking density of livestock. Conclusions: The nitrogen balance, highly differentiated regionally, just as its individual elements, show the potential differentiation scale of the agricultural impact on the state of the environment. Very high balance surpluses occurring in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Lodzkie and Wielkopolskie provinces may indicate high environmental pressure from the agricultural production.

The physico-chemical parameters of coffee effluent consists of very high amount of BOD (2200 mg dm-3), TDS (1810 mg dm-3), NO3 (26.4 mg dm-3), NH4 + (12.6 mg dm-3), low pH (4.3) and zero DO values. Despite the reduction of these values by dilution effect of river water, BOD values as high as 1900 mg dm-3 and 1700 mg dm-3 were found at the downstream sites of Bore and Fite rivers. For biological assemblage study, 6047 macroinvertebrates representing 27 different taxa were identified from riffle sampling sites. The average Shannon and equitability indices and total EPT taxa were reduced at the downstream sites. The habitat score of the study sites was in the range of 27% (very poor) up to 84% (excellent).

The municipal waste is a waste type that includes predominantly household waste (domestic waste) with sometimes the addition of commercial wastes collected by a municipality within a given area. EU waste management principles were defined in the Waste Framework Directive 75/442/EEC. A transfer station is a building or processing site for the temporary deposition of waste. Transfer stations are often used as places where local waste collection vehicles will deposit their waste cargo prior to loading it into larger vehicles. The primary reason for using transfer station is to reduce the cost of transporting waste to disposal facilities. There are many countries in Europe using this solution in waste management system, for example: Germany, Belgium, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland. Waste transfer stations play there an important role in a community's total waste management system, serving as the link between a community's solid waste collection program and a final waste disposal facility. In Poland only several waste transfer stations exist, but none of them fulfils the role like this station located in EU or United States of America. This article includes characteristics and role of solid waste transfer stations (located mainly at rural area) in waste management systems.

The weather conditions in winter 2011/2012 in Poland caused severe frost killing of winter crops (in most areas up to 90%) requiring spring resowing. This brought about a considerable impact of chemical plant protection. The paper presents results from two farms, belonging to a State Treasury company, with intensive agricultural production, located in the Wielkopolska voivodship. The number of plant protection treatments increased due to resowing from 39.9 to 81.4%, depending on the farm, and the amount of used p.p.p.(plant protection products) increased from 51.9 to 153.7%. Costs of used p.p.p. increased overall by 28.5%. The value of multi-criteria index of pesticides negative impact on the environment increased from 18.8 to 39.8% in farms 1 and 2. Identifying extremes in plant protection will allow more accurate than only on the basis of average values, planning and calculation of effect in production, as well as projections of adaptation processes to the changing conditions of production caused by the on-going global climatic changes.

W opracowaniu poruszono kwestię rozwoju koryta rzeki górskiej pod wpływem antropopresji. Wykorzystując analizę kartograficzną i kwerendę źródeł historycznych, zrekonstruowano przebieg i układ podgórskiego koryta Skawy w XVIII i XIX w., w okresie znikomej antropopresji. Przegląd literatury technicznej pozwolił na wskazanie głównych okresów rektyfikacji koryta prowadzącej do zlikwidowania koryta wielonurtowego. W toku współczesnych kartowań geomorfologicznych wskazano miejsca odtwarzania koryt błądzących, które pokrywają się z miejscem występowania koryt tego typu w XIX w. Za transformację wielonurtowego koryta Skawy w jednonurtowe odpowiedzialne są wieloletnie prace hydrotechniczne.

W modelu zapory ziemnej zbudowanej w korycie hydraulicznym badano podstawowe właściwości chemiczne i geotechniczne mieszaniny popiołowo-żużlowej, pozyskanej z Elektrowni Skawina SA. Dysponując piezometrami pozwalającymi ująć wody: górną, dolną oraz filtrującą przez nasyp, badano ich jakość po dobowej i dwudziestopięciodobowej ekspozycji. Wykorzystano wodę wodociągową – ze względu na lokalizację jednostki była to woda z Wodociągów Krakowskich. Z właściwości fizycznych badano skład granulometryczny gruntu, wskaźnik różnoziarnistości, wilgotność naturalną, gęstość objętościową, gęstość objętościową szkieletu, wilgotność optymalną, maksymalną gęstość objętościową szkieletu, współczynnik filtracji. Sklasyfikowano grunt według norm PN-B-02481:1998 i PKN-CEN ISO/TS 17892-4:2009. Wykreślono krzywą filtracji. Materiał nasypu – z uwagi na jego parametry geotechniczne – bardzo łatwo poddawał się zjawisku sufozji. Pomierzone objętościowe natężenie przepływu było w przedziale 1700–2500 cm3 · godz.–1. Z właściwości chemicznych badano stężenia ośmiu metali, konduktancję i pH wód dolnej, górnej i z korpusu zapory przy ekspozycjach po jednej i dwudziestu pięciu dobach. Warunki ługowalności badanych składników były odmienne od założonych w normie [Rozporządzenie… 1999], jednak znacznie bardziej zbliżone do warunków na pograniczu budowla wodna – ekosystem. Analizując zawartości metali, wartości pH oraz kondunktancji w odciekach uzyskiwanych z piezometrów rozmieszczonych w modelu zapory, należy stwierdzić, iż badany materiał wpływa na zmianę chemizmu wód mających z nim bezpośredni kontakt, szczególnie w odniesieniu do zawartości Na, K, Ca i Mg, przekraczając dopuszczalne dla wód powierzchniowych i podziemnych normy [Rozporządzenie… 2008, Rozporządzenie... 2011]. Ołów, kadm oraz chrom występują w stosunkowo wyrównanych zakresach w obu okresach ekspozycji, spełniając równocześnie dopuszczalne normy dla wód powierzchownych i podziemnych oraz normy w przypadku wprowadzaniu ścieków do wód lub ziemi [Rozporządzenie…2006, Rozporządzenie…2008, Rozporządzenie... 2011].

Submerged and subaerial coastal morphology, nature and distribution of bottom sediments are among the key factors influencing the environmental impact by tsunami. Here we show our results of the post 2004 tsunami surveys in both offshore and nearshore zones. After the 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, new bathymetric map and beach profile measurement along Khao Lak area, SW Thailand were made in 2006. Sedimentological analysis data of 144 bottom sediment samples together with many observation sites by scuba diving and the echosounder profiles were used for creating a detailed map of sediments and rocky bottoms in this area, with a basis scale of 1:30,000. Bottom morphology of the offshore bathymetry, sediment features and distribution patterns in relation to the nature of run-up heights are also discussed. As a result, bottom morphology shows the tsunami impact and run-up reflect the different nature of each contiguous coastal area, and explains how the coastal stretches that were eroded by the tsunami waves were almost fully restored by natural processes of sediment redistribution two years after the catastrophic event.
