Considering polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons significant indicators of anthropogenic pollution of the environment, a pilot study obs erves the content of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the sediments of water-bearing subsidence troughs in the Karvina Region. The relevance of PAHs as a pollution load indicator is also supported by the results of monitoring PAH contents in the air of the Karvina Region, namely because PAHs are characteristic organic pollutants in the overall Ostrava- Karvina indu...

The paper deals with an examination of possible application of biodegradation in the decontamination of soil samples from international airport in Ostrava. The laboratory biodegradation tests were carried out with a pure bacterial culture of Pseudomonas putida, a pure laboratory culture of Rhodococcus sp, their mixture and a mixture prepared combining their media free of bacteria. The results of the paper imply that for biodegradation of airport pollutants is most suitable to apply a mixed bacterial culture of Pse...
