Today, under the conditions of negative effects of the influence of natural and, especially, anthropogenic factors on the natural environment, automated systems for monitoring the state of the environment are spreading. The purpose of the work is to develop an analytical decision support system based on the results of forecasting indicators of surface water pollution of the city Lviv. To analyze and forecast the indicators of surface water pollution in Lviv, a trained neural network was created using the Python pr...

The population of Lviv (Ukraine) together with the suburban area is about 1 million inhabitants, which creates significant anthropogenic pressure on the environment. Suburban area, which is characterized by a wealth of natural resources - diverse landscapes, forests, water sources, therapeutic waters, is exposed to "creeping urbanization". At present, the geography of recreational use of natural objects is considerably expanded. The greatest burden of holidaymakers of today falls on the suburban area of the city w...

The composition and properties of drinking water supply systems Ukraine must meet STATE STANDARDS 2.2.4-171-10 "Hygienic requirements for drinking water intended for human consumption". According to them, the concentration of iron for drinking water should not exceed 0,2 mg/dm3. Increased concentrations of iron dramatically reduce its consumer qualities. Water gets an unpleasant taste, yellow-brown color and becomes unusable for use, it is a reason of the rejection in the textile, food, paper and cosmetic industry...

Water resources are the national wealth of any country and one of the basic foundations of its economic development. The growth of cities, rapid industrial development, intensification of agriculture, a significant expansion of irrigated land and many other factors make the problems of rational water resource management more difficult. The activity of the mining and chemical enterprise mainly leads to the soil and the water pollution. After the closure of the enterprise, it is necessary to develop a remediation pr...

The paper deals with processing the waste generated in paper recycling: initial waste of paper mill and sludge after wastewater treatment. The authors have analyzed characteristics of the waste of paper recycling generated in paper recycling plant near Kyiv (Ukraine): calorific value, moisture and ash content. The heating value of waste of paper recycling range from 6.5 to 24 kJ/kg and significantly depends on moisture content. Potential environmental impact depends largely on the physical and chemical characteris...

An idea of пїЅclean productionпїЅ, which provides for the modernization of industrial enterprises to environmental standards, is the concept that promote to sustainable development. The idea of combining economic and environmental effectiveness is a base of the concept. The most common indicator of balance is the environmental footprint, which is determined through calculating the use of natural resources. In addition, the environmental footprint provides an opportunity to assess how long can affect on the environ...

The activities of mining and chemical enterprises in Ukraine have reserved a number of environmental issues that affects all elements of the environment and requires immediate solution. Nowadays, in Ukraine, there are still relevant soil subsidence in areas of mining and chemical enterprises, the accumulation of large-tonnage industrial wastes, accumulation and migration of heavy metals in soils. Equally, important is the issue of water pollution in the area of mining and chemical enterprises. The purpose of this ...

Multispectral television measurements can be used for applied tasks of environmental monitoring, in particular for measuring the parameters of phytoplankton in aqueous media. In this case, the concentration of phytoplankton particles in the water volume is determined, the average particle sizes and the average concentration of chromophores in the near-surface layer. The aim of the work is to improve the multispectral television method to increase the accuracy of measuring the parameters of phytoplankton. An improv...

Environmental assessment is also the basis for the definition and management of ecological risk of anthropogenic load on the environment. The possible impact on the Bugsky estuary are presented and substantiated and solutions are proposed to reduce the anthropogenic impact on the waters of the estuary. The main element of risk analysis is to identify hazards that can lead to negative consequences. Purpose is a comparative analysis of the environmental status of surface waters on the basis of integrated indicators....

The article aims at analysing the content of heavy metals in the soils of two rural administrative units of the municipality of Trzebinia namely Psary and P?oki which are located in the Silesian-KrakпїЅw Upland, in the western part of the Malopolska province, in Poland. The analysis of soil material was based on the determination of granulometric composition of the soil with the use of the Casagrande method modified by PrпїЅszy?ski (according to the industry standard BN-78/9180-11)[1], soil reaction in 1M KCl and ...

Mining and chemical industry is a source of significant anthropogenic impact on natural components. Industrial wastes of Rozdil state mining and chemical enterprise (SMCE) пїЅSirkaпїЅ 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...

An important feature of the small rivers in the fact that they are the starting point of the river network, and any changes that occur in their mode, will marked on the hydrological chain. Small rivers form the water resources of medium and large rivers, hydrochemical water quality and creating lands large areas. Object is a small river Mertvovod in Mykolaiv region (Ukraine). Purpose is an environmental analysis of the state of the Mertvovod River, to determine and analyze possible impacts on the state of the wate...
