Substance Flow Analysis of Mercury Affecting Water Quality in the European Union
PublikacjaW pracy zastosowano metodę SFA (Substance Flow Analysis) do oceny źródeł transportu i składowania rtęci w wodzie na terenie UE. W wyniku analizy stopnia zanieczyszczenia środowiska w przeszłości jak i scenariuszy zmian tego zanieczyszczenia w przyszłości stwierdzono, że spalanie paliw zawierających rtęć, takich jak węgiel i olej stanowi główne źródło zanieczyszczenia wody rtęcią.

Bis-phosphonated carbon nanotubes: one pot synthesis and their application as efficient adsorbent of mercury
PublikacjaEffective, one-pot method of CNTs phosphonylation is presented. Cheap and readily available reagents are used, so the process can be easily transferred to large-scale production. The product was analyzed using spectroscopic methods (FTIR, UV-vis, XPS). Thermal properties of the bis-phosphonated nanotubes are reported for the first time. Newly obtained material was tested as an adsorbent for mercury removal from water. The sorption...

Mercury concentration in the sediments as a function of changing climate in coastal zone of Southern Baltic Sea – preliminary results
PublikacjaMercury, despite of its many uses in industry, is also highly toxic. It is highly neurotoxic, and because of the ability of mercury to penetrate placental barrier, in some countries ban on predatory fish consumption (the main route of mercury into human organism) by pregnant women was introduced. There are very little publications describing the consequences of weather anomalies on contaminants cycles. No research was published...

Coordination polymers and molecular structures among complexes of mercury(II) halides with selected 1-benzoylthioureas
PublikacjaSix new 1-benzoyl-3-phenylthiourea and 1-benzoyl-3-(2-methylphenyl)thiourea complexes of mercury( II) were obtained in the reactions of the ligands with HgX2 in methanol (X = Cl, Br, I). Their structures, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, exhibit different stoichiometries and molecular organization. Coordination centers adopt more or less distorted tetrahedral geometry (five structures) or distorted trigonal...

Mercury in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea: A response to decreased atmospheric deposition and changing environment
PublikacjaOur review of the literature showed that since the beginning of the socio-economic transformation in Poland in the 1990s, the downward trend in Hg emissions and its deposition in the southern Baltic Sea was followed by a simultaneous decrease in Hg levels in water and marine plants and animals. Hg concentrations in the biota lowered to values that pose no or low risk to wildlife and seafood consumers. However, in the first decade...

Emisja rtęci z polskiej energetyki = Mercury emission from polish energy sector
PublikacjaEnergetyka jest głównym źródłem emisji rtęci- według krajowej inwentaryzacji emisji metali ciężkich. Jednak podawana emisja z elektrowni i elektrociepłowni spalających węgiel kamienny wydaje się być zawyżona. Najnowsze badania wykazują niższą zawartość rtęci w węglu kamiennym (50-150 ppb) niż w węglu brunatnym (120-370ppb). Istnieje zatem potrzeba weryfikacji stosowanych wskaźników emisji dla procesów spalania węgla, które służą...

Mercury emission to the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources in Europe in 2000 and their scenarios until 2020
PublikacjaPrzedstawiono obecny stan wiedzy na temat emisji rtęci ze źródeł antropogenicznych na terenie Europy w roku 2000. Zebrane dane stanowiły bazę wyjściową do opracowania scenariuszy emisji do roku 2020. Ponad połowa całkowitej emisji, szacowanej na 239 tony, pochodzi z energetyki przemysłowej oraz gospodarstw domowych i jest związana ze spalaniem stałych nośnikow energii. Istotnym źródłem emisji jest również produkcja cementu (ok....

Estimation of smokers' exposure to mercury from combustible tobacco products, based on the approach used in food consumers’ exposure estimation
PublikacjaSmoking has been known to mankind for centuries, but it is only in recent decades that much attention has been paid to the harmfulness of this habit. Mercury inhalation is particularly dangerous in this respect and smoking creates extremely favorable conditions for the emission and targeted delivery of this element into the lungs. Despite this fact, a lack of a clear method for estimating the exposure of tobacco consumers to mercury...

Total mercury and methylmercury (MeHg) in braised and crude Boletus edulis carpophores during various developmental stages
PublikacjaWe collected and processed Boletus edulis (King Bolete) carpophores grouped in four batches based on their developmental stage (button stage, young—white, large—white, and large—yellow). The study aimed, for the first time, to examine the B. edulis content and effect of braising and to estimate the intake of total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) from a single meal based on whole (wet) weight (ww) and dry weight (dw). In...

Methylmercury and total mercury content in soft tissues of two bird species wintering in the Baltic Sea near Gdansk, Poland
PublikacjaOf the various forms of Hg occurring in nature, (mono) methylmercury (MeHg) is an especially toxic form and practically all forms of Hg can be converted into MeHg as a result of natural processes. Total mercury (THg) and MeHg were determined in tissues of two piscivorous birds: razorbill Alca torda and black-throated loon Gavia arctica to provide baseline data on current mercury concentrations for liver, kidneys and pectoral muscle...

Mobility and bioavailability of mercury in sediments of the southern Baltic sea in relation to the chemical fractions of iron: Spatial and temporal patterns
PublikacjaMarine sediments play a significant role as reservoirs for mercury (Hg), a bioaccumulative toxic pollutant that poses risks to human and ecosystem health. Iron (Fe) has been recognized as an influential factor in the complexation and bioavailability of Hg in sediments. However, limited studies have investigated the interactions between the chemical fractions of these elements in natural settings. This study aims to examine the...

Mercury in Different Feather Types from Great Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo L.) Inhabiting the Vistula Lagoon Ecosystem in Poland
PublikacjaTotal mercury levels in different feather types (down, contour, tail and flight) in Great Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo L.) were determined using CV-AAS. Feathers from Great Cormorants inhabiting the Vistula Lagoon ecosystem have an average Hg level of 7.14 ± 3.99 (μg/g w.w.). Age-dependent concentrations of Hg were statistically significant (ANOVA Kruskal-Wallis, p < 0.0001). There were also significant differences in Hg levels...
