Toxicity of sediments and its relations with the mobility of pollutants on the basis of studies of Lake Turawskie
PublicationPraca niniejsza jest raportem z badań nad toksycznością i jej powiązaniem z mobilnością zanieczyszczeń. Moblilność zanieczyszczeń uzależniona jest od pH próbki. Próbki pobierano z Jez. Turawskiego, toksyczność była mierzona przy użyciu testu Microtox (AZUR Environmental, USA).

Methods of Assessment of Metal Contamination in Bottom Sediments (Case Study: Straszyn Lake, Poland)
PublicationThe concentrations of six metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, and Cd) were investigated in bottom sediments of Straszyn Lake (North Poland). This study was designed to determine a total content of metals and to assess their mobility and bioavailability. The sequential extraction was used to fractionate metals into five fractions: exchangeable, bound to carbonates, bound to Fe–Mn oxides, bound to organic matter, and residual. The evaluation...

Integrated approach -the effective tool for pollution level control of sediments from lake turawskie = Kompleksowa ocena stopnia zanieczyszczenia osadów dennych jeziora turawskiego
PublicationTurawski zbiornik retencyjny wytypowany został do projektu pilotażowego spośród 14 obiektów zlewni Odry w ramach programu: "Stan ekologiczny jezior zaporowych w dorzeczu Odry i działania na rzecz jego poprawy". Celem projektu jest ocena stanu ekologicznego Jeziora Turawskiego dla uzyskania niezbędnych informacji mających służyć do zaprojektowania i wyboru metody jego remediacji. Jezioro Turawskie jest nizinnym zbiornikiem retencyjnym...

Reflectance Measurements and iCone Calorimeter Burning Results of Charcoals Derived from Lake Żabińskie (North-Eastern Poland)
Open Research DataThe dataset presents the results of litter burning experiments using an iCone calorimeter to assess the flammability of the major tree species in the Lake Żabińskie catchment (NE Poland) and links this to the heat release during burning to understand the influence of fire and its effects on ecosystems. Samples of litter from Betula pendula, Pinus sylvestris,...

Heavy metal accumulation and distribution in Phragmites australis seedlings tissues originating from natural and urban catchment
PublicationThe retention of heavy metal (HM) was studied in root and rhizomes (BLG), stems (ST), and leaves (LF) of Phragmites australis (common reed) seedlings collected from different locations, differing in the scale of anthropogenic interference. The analysis includes the reference samples of sediments in uncontaminated lake Garczonki and contaminated roadside ditch in Cieplewo. The concentrations of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, and Cr were analyzed...

The occurrence of heavy metals and metal-resistant bacteria in water and bottom sediments of the Straszyn reservoir (Poland)
PublicationThe aim of this study is investigate the distribution of selected heavy metals (zinc, copper, lead, cadmium) and metal-resistant bacteria in water and bottom sediments of drinking water reservoir for Gdańsk (Poland). The research area - Straszyn Lake is a dam reservoir on Radunia river, of the total volume of 3 mln m3. Sediment and water sampling took place between May and October 2013 (eight series). Regarding metal concentration...

The microbial community, its biochemical potential, and the antimicrobial resistance of Enterococcus spp. in Arctic lakes under natural and anthropogenic impact (West Spitsbergen)
PublicationThe sustainable management of small human communities in the Arctic is challenging. In this study, both a water supply system (Lake 1) under the natural impact of a bird-nesting area, and a wastewater receiver (Lake 2) were analysed in the vicinity of the Polish Polar Station on West Spitsbergen. Microbial community composition, abundance and activity were assessed in samples of the treated wastewater, lake water and sediments...
