The paper presents methods of determination of analytes of the cation group (alkyl benzyl dimethyl ammonium (BDDA-C12-C16), alkyl trimethyl ammonium (TMA), hexadecyl piridinium (HP)) in surface water and bottom sediment samples. In the sample preparation phase the solid phase extraction (SPE) or accelerated solvent extraction/ultrasound assisted extraction (ASE/UAE)-SPE technique was used and in the identification phase and quantitative...

Surfactants are a group of compounds with specific physico-chemical properties and therefore they are used in many spheres of human activity. Surface-active substances undergo various physico-chemical transformations, what enables their migration between different elements of the environment and may lead to its pollution. Selected anionic surfactants were determined in samples of water from the Klodnica river (25 samples) and bottom...

W artykule opisano dworzec Katowice, otwarty w 1972 r. który stanowił jedną z najbardziej spektakularnych i docenianych ikon architektury modernistycznej Górnego Śląska. Został on zaprojektowany przez trzech wybitnych architektów: Wacława Kłyszewskiego, Jerzego Mokrzyńskiego i Eugeniusza Wierzbickiego (autorów m.in. warszawskiej siedziby Polskiej Zjednoczonej Partii Robotniczej). Brutalistyczna architektura przetrwała do 2010 r....
