Mining and chemical industry is a source of significant anthropogenic impact on natural components. Industrial wastes of Rozdil state mining and chemical enterprise (SMCE) ?Sirka? are one of the sources of environmental pollution, including soils and the water environment. The enterprise is located in the West of Ukraine (Lviv region). It poses an environmental hazard to the Dniester River and surrounding settlements. Large-tonnage wastes like phosphogypsum (over 3 million tons) were formed on its territory in con...

In the recent decades, environmental pollution has been one of the major interesting research subjects where pollution might have a direct influence on public health and possibly cause serious and irretrievable damage to the Earth. The aim was to determine the levels of the heavy metals, Cu, Zn, Cr, Cd, Pb and Ni, in soil of urban areas in the city of Brno (Czech Republic). Soil analysis was performed on urban soil from the same layer, where the soil samples come from the depth of 20 cm. These samples were taken f...

Heavy metal contamination of soils is a long-standing environmental problem in the world due to the increase of anthropogenic impact on landscapes. The proposed paper is the first step of an integrated ecological and geochemical investigation of soil cover of the Baikal region. Study object is the biggest island of the Lake Baikal named Olkhon, which is a part of the Baikal National Park, Russia. The study was performed by the key-site method. The method is based on the revealing an index plot, which characterizes...

This paper presents a theoretical and practical approach of the evaluation concept of professional risk specific to activities of gas wells extraction and initial processing. The scientific research highlighted in this article was obtained during INSEMEX Project from The National Program for Research and Development PNCDI-CEEx. The main purpose of evaluating industrial risk is to prevent this type of risk and when there is no possibility to eliminate it, it is mandatory to reduce it up to the amount of residual ri...

The risk assessment of an organization is stipulated in international standards and in a variety of international and national laws and reglementations. In the context of the obvious environmental problems and incidents with disastrous effects for the environment of the past 50 years, industrial and business environment recognizes the importance of environmental risk management and its applied. In the process of the environmental risk management, the risk assessment and risk treatment plays a crucial role in the c...
